September 27, 2006 – MY DEFINITION OF YOUR BEING!

MY DEAR CHILD,

THE IMPERFECTIONS OF YOUR OLD VESSEL HAVE PASSED AWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE REDEEMED. YOU ARE REBORN AND ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW. YOUR FUTURE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS IF YOU LET ME MOLD YOUR LIFE BY MY SPIRIT. Mark 11:24   Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.  I AM REMOVING THE FLAWS AND CRACKS IN THE OLD VESSEL AND I AM RECREATING YOU IN MY IMAGE. I HAVE CALLED YOU BECAUSE I KNOW YOUR HEART AND I WILL ACCENTUATE AND MAGNIFY YOUR ABILITIES AND MODIFY YOUR WEAKNESSES AND TURN THEM INTO STRENGTHS. I USE THE WEAK TO CONFOUND THE WISE. 1Corinthians 1:26  Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.  27  But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.  28  He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are.

I CHOSE YOU BEFORE YOU WERE IN YOUR MOTHER’S WOMB.  DO NOT QUESTION “HOW” I COULD POSSIBLY USE YOU.  REJOICE INSTEAD THAT YOUR NAME IS WRITTEN IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.  SUBMIT YOURSELF TO ME AND BELIEVE THAT I CAN BRING FORTH FROM YOU A VESSEL TO GLORIFY MY NAME. DO NOT LOOK AT THE DESIGNS OF OTHER VESSELS OR TRY TO CHART YOUR OWN DESTINY. THOSE OTHER VESSELS DO NOT MEET THE DESIGN OF YOUR CALLING, FUNCTION, AND PURPOSE IN LIFE. I LOVE ALL OF MY VESSELS AND THEY ARE EACH CREATED AND DESIGNED TO FILL A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. DEDICATE YOUR VESSEL TO BE MOLDED IN THE IMAGE I HAVE DESIGNED. FORGET ALL OF YOUR PLANS AND OTHER BLUEPRINTS YOU HAVE AMASSED AND ALLOW ME TO BRING YOU INTO MY PERFECT WILL. 1Corinthians 1:19  For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”  1CO 1:20  Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

I WILL NOT MOLD YOUR LIFE AFTER THE PATTERNS OF THE WORLD. COME BEFORE ME WITHOUT YOUR OWN IDEAS OR DESIGNS.  HAVE FAITH AND TRUST THAT I KNOW HOW TO RE-CREATE YOU ACCORDING TO MY PURPOSE.  LET MY WILL BE DONE IN YOU! ALL OF MY WORK IS AN ORIGINAL AND DEFINES THE PERSON I SEE IN YOU. WHEN YOU ALLOW ME THE LIBERTY OF CREATIVE LICENSE, YOU WILL COME FORTH A PERFECT VESSEL. DO NOT CLOUD THE VISION I HAVE OF YOU WITH A DESIGN I HAVE PRODUCED IN SOMEONE ELSE. DO NOT TAKE YOUR BLUEPRINT AND TRY TO FIT IT INTO MINE. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME ON DISSATISFACTION WITH WHO YOU ARE. IF YOU WANT TO BE MORE, GIVE ME MORE OF YOURSELF TO WORK WITH. TURN ON MY CREATIVE POWER WITHIN YOU THROUGH FAITH AND TRUST IN MY POWER TO MAKE THE HIGHEST AND BEST OUT OF YOUR LIFE. John 4:10  Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.

THROUGH MY INDWELLING SPIRIT YOU CAN HAVE THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY IN YOURSELF. THERE ARE MANY UNTAPPED SOURCES OF NEW LIFE WITHIN YOU.  I HAVE MANY GIFTS AND BLESSINGS YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED BECAUSE YOU FAIL TO DAILY DRINK IN MY WORD AND MEDITATE ON MY CONCEPTS. YOU TRY SO HARD TO BETTER YOURSELF AND FORGET THAT I ALONE HAVE THE PATTERN AND MEASURE OF YOUR LIFE. John 4:14  but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

YOU KNOW THAT TO BECOME THE PERSON I HAVE CALLED YOU TO BE, YOU MUST LIVE YOUR LIFE THROUGH ME. IT IS EASY TO SLIP INTO SLACKNESS AND LAZINESS WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE. IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR LIFE UNDER YOUR CONTROL. Acts 17:28  ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’  YOU MUST BE EQUIPPED AND EMPOWERED BY MY SPIRIT TO DO MY WORK.  YOU NEED THE SPIRIT’S MOTIVATING AND GUIDING FORCE WORKING IN YOU. CHRIST IS ALWAYS PRESENT TO GIVE YOU KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM, AND HE ALONE GETS YOU READY TO DO HIS WORK.  HE PUTS YOUR HEART, MIND, SPIRIT, AND SOUL IN TUNE TO THE SPIRIT’S LEADING. John 15:5   “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

I HAVE GIVEN YOU ALL THAT PERTAINS TO LIFE AND GODLINESS. YOUR LIFE IS THE REPOSITORY OF THESE GREAT GIFTS. THE GREATEST OF ALL MY GIFTS IS “CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY”.  THE BENEFITS OF ALL MY GIFTS ARE IN YOUR HANDS. WILL YOU SHOW THE WORLD THE LOVE, WORKS, AND SALVATION OF CHRIST? YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THIS GENERATION.  LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE AND GLORIFY THE FATHER AND THE SON. 1Corinthians 1:26  Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.  27  But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.  28  He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are,  29  so that no one may boast before him.  30  It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God – that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.  31  Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
