Ex 33:15-16 NKJV Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth."
“ Sons and daughters, you cannot face the enemy without ME. Apart from ME, you can do NOTHING. Any venture you undertake apart from ME and My will, is a friable
venture ! You can be broken in pieces if you venture out on your own into unchartered territory without it being in MY WILL. You must learn to be DEPENDENT ON ME alone for all that you do. You must put away all presumption, all pride, all self assertion, self-will and self-promotion, self-righteousness. There is NO LIFE apart from ME. I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. Without ME, there is no life to the actions you take. All must be done IN ME. Walk in the Spirit and you will succeed in all your ventures. But if you venture out away from MY WILL. You are on shaky ground.”
John 15:4-8 AMP
4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.
6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine.
“ Saul ventured out on his own with his own will and he died and many with him. Too many ! You cannot go ahead of ME. SLOW DOWN and get MY WILL. SLOW DOWN and spend time with ME, and I will show you what you must know. You are far too busy many of you with too many things. Many of you are like horses in the gate before a race, pushing and wanting to run, but you don’t even know where you are running to. You haven’t taken time to really spend time with Me to find out MY WILL.
There is no LIFE outside of MY WILL.
Doing something just to fill time, just to do something is not My will. SIT DOWN and rest in ME, and get My perspective, and My idea for how to do things. Everything My Son did, He did out of time spent in prayer to Me, communing with ME. You cannot be presumptuous in this hour or your life could be cut short before it’s time, just as Saul disobeyed and went out on his own, it brought death not only to him, but to his son and all the soldiers that died that day.
There are NATIONS hanging in the balance, waiting on your obedience. It is time to GROW UP beloveds into the strong horses in battle I WANT YOU TO BE ! You cannot tread down the enemy without walking according to MY will, without walking in the SPIRIT. I will be with you in this end times battle. NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE AS I FIGHT ALONG SIDE OF MY BRIDE. If I am with you, who can be against you.
It matters not what the enemy has planned. There will be many martyred in this hour. But the blood of the martyrs gives BIRTH to the establishment of MY KINGDOM.
WHY DO YOU FEAR ? Do you not know that your home is in heaven ? What is the worst thing that can happen if you die ? Do you not know ? Have you not heard ? The LORD sits in the heavens and HE laughs at the derision of His enemies. The enemy tries to intimidate. Can’t you see that all the intimidation now is from the evil one.
YES, there are secret plans to annihilate believers. Yes there are secret plans that are more horrid than you can imagine. But WHO IS IN CHARGE ?
Do you not remember how they tried to kill MY SON in the temples, and how He slipped out from under them ? Do you not know that many of you will be translated in times of danger ? Is there anything that is too hard for ME ? Cast off all unbelief !
My apostles went through much suffering and you will go through much suffering if you are a true disciple. What makes you think you are better than those who have gone before you ? What makes you think, oh western church that everyone else should suffer, but you should not ? PRIDE! That is what ! I tell you that I am bringing down the pride of man, and the arrogance of many in this hour, that MY SPIRIT will invade the hearts of the true believers, and there will be a SUDDEN escalation of MY POWER, an OUTPOURING that will wash away the true from the false.
DO NOT HOLD ON TO THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD, FOR THIS WORLD IS PASSING AWAY. BUT MY KINGDOM WILL LIVE FOREVER AND EVER. JUST AS MY LOVE FOR YOU ENDURES FOREVER AND EVER. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU ! I WILL BE WITH YOU UNTIL THE END. CLING TO ME OH BRIDE OF CHRIST ! DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE FEAR AND PERVERSION, TO THE DEPRESSION AND INTIMIDATION OF THE ENEMY. WORSHIP, WORSHIP, WORSHIP ME IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS. ESTABLISH MY KINGDOM BY SPEAKING MY WORD ! DECLARE THE TRUTH. DO NOT SPEAK IN THE FLESH.
ASK FOR A GUARD TO THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART, THAT ONLY WHAT IS TRUTH WILL COME FORTH. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”
