Many people have tried to put boundaries on Me and place Me in a box. Many of My children are “give me…” children. They only come to Me to get something and will only do what it takes to get it and then they go on their merry way thinking that they are ok until another thing happens and they need Me again.
There are some of My children that are “do all and give all” children, but they never feel they are worthy of My love, My grace, or any gift that I give them. They go about their lives thinking they have to earn everything no matter what I say or do. They never really allow Me to pour My love into them that I desire to. They put up borders and fences of discouragement, disbelief, and condemnation. They believe they have to earn My love and cannot do enough to have it. They keep on and on and it is never enough.
Then there are My “halfhearted” children. They do things with only half their heart, half their potential, and half way believing that I can do what I said and that I am only mostly real. They keep an opening just in case all the right things they are doing for me amount to nothing, they can still be a part of the world. They receive only a part of what I give, who I am, and what I am about. They are hesitant, unsure, and insecure. They do not press on into the deep things of Me and that is why I cannot give them Myself in entirety.
There are those children of Mine that are ready to do all that I have asked, said, and have promised them, but they want to do it their way. They are not really open to see past their own understanding. They go so far and let Me use them to a point, but then when it just doesn’t make sense they cool off and back down. They are not in tune with what I am really doing with or through them. They cannot understand why they can’t have it all and that they will always be learning and growing; that it never stops. They expect Me to move their way and not in the ways I want to use them and move through them. They keep Me on a leash of human understanding with their own minds. They go so far with Me but not as far as I would like. If they would only unleash Me and allow Me to really move…
Then there are My very few children who have totally died out to themselves and have given Me their all. They accept the fact that there is a work to do but I also want to bless at times with no strings attached. I love to bless My children just because I love them. I love to do it in ways that no one would think possible. I do this so that I can water their faith and give them that incentive to go up higher, to dig in as deep as possible, and really enjoy the assignment and destiny that I have placed them in. They do not keep Me in a box. They do not erect walls, fences or boundaries around me or try to keep Me on a leash. They understand that each one of My servants have their own place, their own unique anointing, and their own individual calling from Me. They realize I can use them anytime and anyplace because they remain open to Me and seek no glory for themselves.
I am looking for those who will open up and give Me their all so they can receive all of Me without doing anything but accepting Me. I am looking for those who are willing to allow the walls, boundaries, borders, fences, and hindrances to be torn down and to be completely free to walk in My fullness. Will you become one of those who will take Me out of a box and allow Me to be free to use you any way I so desire? Will you become one that I can love, without feeling you have to earn My love? Will you put down your foolish ideas and imaginations, your wrong thinking and all of your understanding? I am looking for those who are ready to do this.
The move that I am about to pour out is a flood of My anointing and glory. It is about to burst forth from the trickle that I have already started. I am ready to show you the new things of Me. I am ready to show you the greater things of Me. I am ready to use those who will give and receive in a love relationship, not one that is hindered or mangled up.
Are you ready today to give up how you see Me and see Me for who I am and how much I really love you? I want to change your way of thinking. I want you to make the correct decision to be the child that will be fully open up to receive and give all that is available.
Open yourself to Me and be honest with Me. Come and pour out your heart, empty yourself out so that I can begin to pour into that place of fear of the unknown. Let me remove the hesitance, selfishness and mistrust that has developed in your mind. Let Me to do the work that needs to be done to bring you to the place of reassurance, confidence, and spiritual maturity. Let me make you a child of Mine that is ready to walk in the supernatural and new things of Me. Come to Me today and get rid of the things that have been holding you back and become new.
“Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre. Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast; this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. He established it as a statute for Joseph when he went out against Egypt, where we heard a language we did not understand. He says, “I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket. In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. “Selah” “Hear, O my people, and I will warn you– if you would but listen to me, O Israel! You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god. I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. “But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. “If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes! Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever. But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” (Psalm 81:1-16, NIV)
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” (Ephesians 3:20)
“Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.” (John 12:26)
“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17)
“So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” (Galatians 5:16-26)
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.” (Colossians 3:1-16)
