My Children Know Themselves
I have received a number of communications from those who have recognized their poor state of spiritual health. Their true nature is unfolding to them in clear relief. I am reminded of the Scriptures which say, "And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to you...and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations." Eze. 36:28-31.
How can a man think to justify himself? We have seen the nation's leaders justify themselves, and parade themselves before the people, but My people are not so. Because of My Spirit within them, they can see the nature of their depravity. They can see all of their true motives and how vain and empty their best efforts seem to them. Those who are not My children are bastards, for they have no Father. They are born into fornication, but they do not know their true state. They cannot recognize the evils that motivate every single movement they make. They love themselves and boast of their good intentions. They puff themselves up because of their exploits.
Yes, My children have a time when they must loathe themselves for their own good. They must be brought to recognize the vanity of their lives. When they are brought to this place, they become quiet in their soul, and trust in Me only, for they cannot trust anymore in themselves. This is the way, and the gate of revelation for them. The man of sin has been revealed and they lay down before Me and let Me do with them what I will. They no more place a judgment on themselves or anyone else. They do not compare themselves amongst themselves, for they find nothing at all to compare.
Now, I shall bless them simply for being still. I will bless them for laying down upon the good soil of My bed. Behold I will compare, but My servants shall no longer compare, for I have said,
But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. And ye shall leave your name (Christian) for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name (Michael): That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. Isaiah 65:11-19.
Yes, I rejoice, for My people have seen their iniquity and trusted in Me. It is I, and I alone, says My Father, Who shall guide your steps and judge your ways. You shall be a judge no more, for you have been relieved of your self-righteousness, and have been delivered from the foul stench of your self brightness. I will be your brightness now, and none other will gloat over you. I will turn My people's shame upon those who curse them. I will dry the fields of those who oppose them. Behold, I AM here amongst you, and I shall never leave you anymore, says the Lord God, for the day of the Lord God has appeared, and I have set things right.
I rejoice in You, O' My Father. My heart is drawn into the heavens because of You. Your blessings pour down upon Me in such abundance I cannot contain them. I cannot count them. Your light has thrilled My soul with Your goodness. O' Father, Here I AM, Michael, Your Son and first born. Now, I lay Myself down again for the people. I lift them upon My own self, and draw them up to You, precious Friend, heavenly King of all domains. Here I AM, precious Father, Here I AM. Here are My people, and I have not lost any that You have given Me, except the sons of perdition, so that they might be proven false as they are.
Come down precious King. Fill again, My soul full of Yourself. Fill Me again, and draw Me up higher, so that I might also draw those whom You have given Me. I break the bands that bind them up. I dash their earth in pieces with the rod of My rule, and I crush the serpent and the viper that threatens them. O My Father, how My heart is drawn up to You. I want to kiss Your lips, and be held close to Your bosom. I want to immerse Myself into Your strong heart, and be buried into Your Own soul. Come down Father. Come down now upon Me, and burn Me with the light of Your countenance. Shine upon Me with the fire of Your righteousness. Those who loathe themselves will be released, and delivered into Your hands, for I have delivered them, and they will be freed from their burdens forevermore.
