Gradually move about in the garden, beloved. Don’t be shy. Walk in step with Me as you take in the sights. Talk to Me about what I have done and what I am doing. Discuss My plans with Me, asking Me questions. I will answer you in good time, when I know you are ready to receive My truth. So don’t be shy about coming and moving about in the garden that I have prepared for you, the garden that holds many delights for the children of the living God. Do not be fearful. I have prepared the garden for you and there is nothing in it that should cause you any trepidation. The more frequent your visits, beloved, the more you will yearn to come. Yes, coming into My hold presence in this fashion will create a hunger for more visits and this is a good thing, beloved, a very good thing.

August 13, 2014. Don’t lose heart. The hard part is almost over. The enemy of your soul hit you head on with full force. He cannot win. He has not won and he will not win. He is a defeated foe. He tempted Me and he is tempting you. You are going the right way and you are right over the target. Satan would be so pleased if he could discourage you from believing. But don’t do it. Don’t give up your faith. Victory is yours and it is right around the corner. Keep believing. 1 Peter 5:10-11 (NASB) “After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Bev Robinson August 13, 2014. Focus on kindness and you will win the day. Yes, some will take advantage of it and seek to defeat you. But you belong to Me and you have Jesus living inside you. Kindness is driven by the most precious thing of all — love, My love, agape love. Keep it pure and simple. Get beyond yourself and put others first. Selfishness and self centeredness have to exit. Honor, affirmation and acclaim move into every place you go. You are on a roll now. You notice that My hand of grace is upon you. Use it as My gift to you and through you to all those around you. Focus on kindness. Proverbs 3:3-4 (NASB) “Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man. Ras Robinson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 12, 2014. While you are sleeping I am watching over you. You have no idea what is going on as you rest and dream. I am doing much more than watching. I am causing events to happen that will bring about the promises that you earlier received from Me. Yes, there are things you will do, but I will show you those things as you go. Don’t concern yourself about them now. Too much thinking and planning and you could get ahead of Me. Time is wasted when you have to back track. Genesis 28:15-16 (NASB) “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, ” Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” Bev Robinson August 12, 2014. Do you want to receive a life-changing revelation? Jacob had a crisis. He lay down and slept. During the night, God the Father did a great work for Jacob. He saw a ladder to heaven with God waiting for him at the top. The three verses below detail what God promised Jacob. It was protected and kept as a promise within the old covenant. But God made a new covenant with even better promises. Believers today are abundantly blessed by obeying the voice of our Lord God. Genesis 28:13-15 (NASB) “And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants.Your descendants will also be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and in you and in your descendants shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Ras Robinson http://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/what-the-lord-is-saying-today-august-2014/ |

I am perfecting your faith through opportunities that come with challenges. Your responses to these difficulties will define the level and strength of your trust in Me to perfect those things that concern you. You will be required to persevere and move through this time with faith and grace, says the Lord. Be strong and courageous. James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. http://ft111.com/ |

Whole-iness by Lonnie Mackley You may have wondered why it may be taking so long for you to get through your wilderness time and one of the main reasons is that God wants us to be completely whole so that we can live a truly holy and stable life once we enter the promised land ministry He has planned for us. We have spent years in the world accumulating emotional wounds and sin-habits and it takes some time to get to the roots of these problems and eradicate them for good. Usually God only gives us what we truly need during our wilderness time in order to keep the distractions to a minimum so that we can just focus on Him changing and healing us, but now things are about to change. JOS 7:1 But the Israelites acted unfaithfully in regard to the devoted things; Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of them. So the LORD's anger burned against Israel. Soon we will seem to have more freedom to choose. How much unhealed emotional pain and sin problems do you think we can afford to take with us into our promised land? The answer is none. Any shred of undealt with flesh or sin left intact can lead to not only our downfall, but to the downfall of those who are walking with us, so you can see why God cannot afford to cut any corners back here. The wilderness carries its own challenges of trusting God when you have no apparent control or security, so as we enter our promised land ministry we will have to be extra careful not to turn back again to old idolatry habits just because we think we have more of an ability to do so. JOS 22:20 When Achan son of Zerah acted unfaithfully regarding the devoted things, did not wrath come upon the whole community of Israel? He was not the only one who died for his sin.' " Our actions and choices will soon affect many other people. You have heard the expression "We are not out of the woods yet", and that will apply to all of us who are now leaving our wilderness time. The lessons we have learned in the wilderness were meant to help carry us through the battles of our promised land. God wants us to all be whole together so we are not just waiting on ourselves, but on each other as well. Trust that everything God is doing in your life right now is absolutely necessary for your journey ahead and try not to grumble, complain, or rebel when things get tough. Be patient as God puts the finishing touches on your "whole-iness" and you will move forward. 1PE 1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." https://www.facebook.com/LonnieMackleyMinistry |

The High Calling by Rick Joyner As we look at the ultimate purpose of God to restore the earth from all the consequences of the Fall and make it once again the paradise it was originally intended to be, we see this theme running throughout everything He is doing on the earth. We can also see it in all that He is doing in us individually, such as the subduing of our sinful nature through the cross and the renewing of our minds, so that we think like the Lord. To have a Christian worldview is to view the world as Christ does. The Lord is going to restore man and the earth, but He has delayed this in order to call out from among mankind those who will rule and reign with Him in the age to come, the period when the earth is restored. These are a “new creation” who are called to overcome the flesh, the devil, and this present evil age and so prove their worthiness to rule with Him. This is the “high calling” the Apostle Paul wrote about in Philippians 3. In this remarkable text, this one, who is possibly the greatest of apostles, states that he does not yet consider that he has attained this high calling, but he presses on toward it. Obviously, he is not talking about salvation or eternal life as these were attained the moment he believed in the atonement of Christ. Paul saw a high calling that was so high he did not think he had yet attained to it. This is the calling to be the sons and daughters of God and to rule with Him as joint heirs, members of His own household. The fact that Paul did not think he had yet attained this high calling did not mean that he had not yet attained. However, this seems to indicate that whether we have attained or not may not be known in this life. When I inquired of the Lord about this, I felt that He said that those who had attained would not know in this life, because if they were still so self-focused as to be concerned about what they were attaining instead of seeing the Lord receive the reward of His sacrifice, they were still falling short. Those who attain to this will be consumed with seeing the Lord’s will being done, not their own attainments. However, as we are young, it is important to see the high calling, and it is not wrong to work because of the joy or rewards that are set before us. Even so, the ultimate maturity in Christ is stated in Galatians 2:20, when it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. How does this high calling differ from everyone else who is saved, who has eternal life? There is a difference between being invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb and being the bride. There is a difference between being subjects of the King and members of His household. Our redemption is free, and there is nothing we can add to it or take away from it. However, our position in the kingdom is the result of our own choices and the level of our devotion to Him. Those who sacrifice what they may have had in this life to give themselves to His service and to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil will have a high position in the kingdom. Those who have not, even though they are saved and have eternal life, will complete this job in the age to come, being ruled over instead of ruling. These are the ones who “sleep” until the resurrection and are resurrected on earth as men to complete the job of restoration, not in the divine nature. Many have a concept that when the Lord returns to the earth everything will be perfect. Not so. It will take a thousand years to fully restore the earth and mankind. This is why Peter referred to this as “the period of the restoration of all things (see Acts 3:21).” Is this not how the process has worked in us? We are born again and everything becomes new, but that is just the beginning of our transformation. It takes much longer to renew our minds and to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil, and to mature into our new nature. The truth is that very few actually go on to maturity, becoming like the Lord and doing the works that He did. This is why the Lord gave the warning about the end of this age, “Woe to those who nurse babes in those days” (see Matthew 24:19). We might interpret this as, “Woe to those who keep their people in immaturity.” Without the solid foundation of discipleship and the devotion to growing up in all things into Christ as we are told in Ephesians 4, it will be increasingly difficult to stand in the days to come. For those who have lived the life of a true disciple, seeking continually to become like their Master, they will begin to shine like the stars in the midst of the darkness. The darker it gets, the brighter they will become.
