“The only way that you can be confident that you are constantly on the right path, the straight narrow path, is to measure your activity. The surest way to attain the prize of the high calling is to teach others how to find the same path. You cannot teach them how to walk in the path. That is a matter between them and My Spirit says God.
This is a task of enormous difficulty with never ending challenges for it requires you to ‘live in the world’ without being ‘of the world’. That is easy to say but proves impossible for most and will remain impossible unless you are prepared to completely surrender the flesh and your earthly consciousness and turn them over to the control of My Spirit says God.
Yes, there is a general assembly that will contain billions; there is a great cloud of witnesses, impossible to number in the human perspective, but those that attain the prize, that earned the right to be called and then chosen out of the resurrection to be co-heirs with My beloved Son, these will be a tiny percentage.
To be among this number requires total dedication and the readiness to suffer loss in your time on the present earth in order to gain that prize in the coming Kingdom. Most cannot consider such a proposition, because their faith in the reality of the Kingdom to come is not fully developed.
Yes, they understand that My Son will soon return; they have a vague concept of what His bride will look like and the taking place of the marriage supper. Some have a picture of the millennial reign, but it is incomplete.
The greatest error is that most are trying to find a way to understand and embrace these truths that does not place any burden on the level of comfort they have created for themselves in this world. I have no regard for the things of this world that are
being controlled and developed by the one who has disappointed Me the most and for whom I have already reserved eternal damnation.
The current age is purely a preparation for the return of My Son to prepare for the Eternal Age. Through these times I am able to set apart those that will work side by side with Me through the millennial reign to make ready for the eternal reign.
At that time the cycle will be complete, and My vision will be fully in view as it was always destined to be. The outcome was never uncertain in any way, only the will of man with which I blessed him had to be revealed. Without it, I would have had no need or desire to involve man in the process at all.
The best teachers are the examples. The best way to learn something is to teach it. Be aware though, the mantle brings with it an extra burden of responsibility. There is nothing more disappointing than a double minded teacher.
Be a sign, not a stick, lead but do not push. You cannot lead if you are not sure where you are going. My Word is your map and a lamp to your feet. Without these you will stumble and if you take your eyes from either, you will lead people on a long journey around the mountain.
Only when they see the ‘promised land’ for themselves can they ‘cross the Jordan’. You cannot carry them; you cannot make boats or bridges for them. You can only demonstrate how to find the map and the lamp for themselves. My Spirit alone can work the perfection of their understanding and remove the scales from their eyes. This is a true revelation of what it means to pick up your cross on a daily basis.
The knowledge alone of this work is a burden. The willingness to carry out this commission is a heavy burden. It is the cross that race runners have to bear. If you do not carry it, you can run at the pace of the world with seemingly no effort. The burden of destruction always feels light and easy. The easier it seems for people, the further they are from My perfect will for their lives says God.
A race runner must not even contemplate such relief, for to find it will mean that he has lost his way. As I have stated before; if your life looks the same as the lives of those that do not have this knowledge, it is the same as those people and therefore you have left the only true path. Being a Jew to the Jews and a Greek to the Greeks does not mean to live as they do, it means to speak to them from their perspective so as to gain their attention. You do not become a light to the drunk by becoming drunk or to the adulterer by doing it yourself!
Wisdom will guide you, the wisdom that is only available through My Spirit led application of My Word. Walk in it, breath it, live it. I will make the way for you if you will make the way for Me” says God.
