Does the world fear us yet?
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 105 concerning the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt:
37 HE also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
As we manifest the power and authority as mature Sons and Daughters, the world will begin to fear us. Their nefarious acts will be exposed and they will willingly transfer wealth to those who walk in Holiness.
Be assured that there are those who have been prepared as “Treasurers in the Kingdom of GOD” to properly manage the wealth. They have gone through testing, some severe, to assure their commitment to Righteousness and Holiness. They have been directly exposed to the extreme love of money found in those upper echelons of the world system where greed abounds.
Every part of The Body of Christ will function to serve the rest of the Body and no one will be envious of another’s calling. They will simply be grateful for all the Brothers and Sisters who answered the Divine calling.
What is your responsibility to grow to full maturity? Jesus explained it in Matthew chapter 13:
23 “As for the seed that fell upon good, rich soil, it represents the hearts of people who hear and fully embrace the message of Heaven’s Kingdom realm. Their lives bear good fruit—some yield a harvest of thirty, sixty, even one hundred times as much as was sown.”
We are to protect our hearts from “lack of understanding”. The Adversary then comes and snatches away what was sown into our heart. What are we to do? Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:
8 Also he has informed us of your Love in the [Holy] Spirit.
9 For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of HIS will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things
This is why I start the day praying in The Holy Spirit. He directs me to certain passages that clarify what I need to understand. This process eliminates lack of understanding.
We must not allow the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches to choke the Word thus becoming unfruitful. This is all about resisting temptation. As we renew our minds daily and remove the influences of the world, our faith grows and we are no longer moved by the fleeting temptations spoken to us by demonic influences.
We must protect our eyes and ears. Once we get understanding, we must act accordingly.
A deeper walk with FATHER requires greater discipline and obedience. We must actively resist the adversary and his demons as they attempt to move us toward extremes in our daily lives. Some people will allow themselves to become lazy and do nothing. Others think that if they are not constantly “doing”, they are not pleasing to FATHER. Both are wrong.
We are meant to be doers of The Word but also we are to do only when instructed by The Holy Spirit. It is all about timing. FATHER may show me something that needs to be done though HE does not want me to take action yet. This is where discipline and obedience are critical to our walk. HE is lining up certain events to insure success when we are meant to take action. This is an aspect of HIS ways and purposes for each of us.
You and I are valuable to FATHER and HIS Divine Intent to bring forth HIS Kingdom to earth. Each day we may quote “Not my will but Your Will be done in my life” but we need to also include “based on YOUR perfect timing”.
I find as I increase in discipline and obedience, more and more events fall into place where I show up or respond just in time, not a minute early and not a minute late. How peaceful it is to walk by the leading of The Holy Spirit! People will take notice of this anointing and will begin to see the Fear of THE LORD… and they will respond.
