THE HOUR OF DESTINY
This is the hour of destiny for those seeking the heart of Father. Figuratively, we are entering the promised land and leaving behind the wilderness of preparation. Our inheritance and destiny is not a place in space, it is a Person. It is not found in a title or position; it is a found in relationship. It is not a doctrine; it is grace and truth in communion with Father. Our inheritance as His sons is becoming the very habitation of Father's essence. His essence is who He is in character and authority. Our firstborn brother Jesus Christ is the essence of Father, and fully expresses His nature and authority. Conformity to the image of Jesus Christ is our Land of promise; that is our inheritance and destiny! The purposes of God for mankind and creation are about to be unveiled in this hour as those who have persevered and learned the lessons of the wilderness are entering the promised land of their inheritance and destiny in Christ. Our primary lesson of the wilderness has been childlike trust and dependency upon Father as our all-in-all.
UTTER DEPENDENCY
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all. ~Jesus~ We are utterly dependent upon Him for everything and He alone can truly meet our needs. When Father began to use me to touch others lives I asked Him, "Why did you chose me?" His answer was immediate, "Because you are weak!" When we are weak we are incapable of doing it ourselves, we need help. I am so weak that apart from His strength I am ruined. Weakness demands a source of strength to fill the need. It is in recognizing our weakness and our need of His strength we are able to find it in Him. But, I am not the only one who is weak ; ALL of humanity is weak. Many have not recognized their weakness because they have relied on man's strength and are still depending upon themselves, religion, or others. It is when we recognize our weakness and abandon our own feeble attempts that He can be strong. This is the cross at work in us. Entering into our kingdom purpose for life is really about childlike trust and dependency upon Father in everything. While Jesus was not sinful, He was utterly dependent upon Father and did nothing apart from Father doing or saying it. Entering into His promises always take childlike faith that responds readily to the voice of Father.
OUR NEEDS MET IN HIM
The kingdom of God is manifest as men and women express the heart of God out of His fullness and rest; having found their needs met in Father alone. Years ago Father showed me that the church was sent to the wilderness to learn and find all of its needs met in Father alone. Holy Spirit spoke to me one day and told me there were three basic needs that we needed to find met in Father in the wilderness of preparation. These needs are as follows: The need for Knowledge (to know and be known). The need for Love (intimacy, security). The need for Acceptance (approval) Jesus came that we might have these needs met in relationship to Father. Being known, loved, and accepted by Him fulfills all these places of need. Sin is simply fulfilling these needs apart from Father. These unmet needs manifest as wanton desires for worldly wisdom and knowledge, gratification of the flesh, fame, glory, etc. The day of the old is done. Those ready to enter are prepared and Having found in Him all we need frees us to serve others out of the pure motive of love and no other motives that stem from having unmet needs.
VISION OF THE GLORY OF GOD
I rarely have visions. But, one morning I had a vision in which before me in the distance I saw what looked like two long rows of knives were sticking up out of the ground. I was flying, and as I got closer I realized it was not two rows of knives, but the tips of the wings of two long rows of angels lining a valley corridor. I was set down in this corridor and looked down the path lined with angels. At the end of the path was a large wooden door which was open. The atmosphere of the room behind the door was an amber glow and the air itself had a golden shimmer. It was the glory of God, and I was being set on the path to enter into the Glory of God.
Making the trek to enter our destiny is not dependent upon our ability to get there, it is dependent upon His ability and faithfulness to bring us there. He is looking for our dependency (faith) upon Him to get us there. He is giving us angelic assistance to bring us into the place He has prepared for us in Him. Lets go forward in faith as He moves us to enter into all He has prepared for those that love Him, depend upon Him, look to Him in their need, and are called according to His purposes.
