My children, you must keep your eye on the prize, the main goal, the finish line, finishing what you have been assigned here on earth, being about My business so that you can come back to Me to your place in heaven that I have for you.
You forget as bricks are laid and things are built in your character to achieve the ultimate goal with Me you get side tracked. You become self-driven on things and this causes the construction to stop. You have abandoned your post, your project, your assignment, and your building has come to a stand still. You do not want destruction to take place. You need to return and get back on task.
When you build a house, you start with making the blue prints, the plan. When you started this process you started it when you were in heaven, speaking to Me about what you were to do on earth. We talked about the plan and purpose and the assignment that you would be on and what you would be facing and the outcomes that could take place. Then you agreed to what you had been told and shown. The blue print had been set.
Then the next step of building the house is finding the land and preparing it for building. This is when the family is chosen for you to be born into and choosing the perfect timing for you to come to earth and be alive in the flesh. It had to be the right time so that it would line up with what you would be doing and what you had agreed to do.
Then is the tilling and leveling of the ground. This is when I call you and find you and woo you to Me. I will remove the rocks, fill in holes, and bring to the ground the necessary means for the foundation to stand upon. The foundation of your salvation with Me.
Once the land has been prepared the foundation is started and the building begins. Each piece being where it needs to be and the course of the building depends on the factors going according to plan. This is when you decide to accept Me as your God by accepting My son Jesus as your lord and savior. Then the building begins.
You see My children the building is a process and each piece must be set into place so that the structure can be strong, sturdy, and reliable. You become a shelter, a pillar, and an example to others that I place in your path as part of the assignment. This is also how your walk with Me needs to be. As you step out and learn more to strengthen your building and remain on track you will be doing all that I have asked you to do.
The storms come and things happen that cause delays, just as the weather and seasons do in the real life of a carpenter who builds the homes. But you must not stop at the first signs of bad weather. You need to find shelter in Me, and then continue on according to the blueprints, the instructions, the guide, My word.
If you abandon the original blueprints you will see that things are not stable no matter how hard you try. You cannot do these things alone; you were to do them with Me and through Me as the foundation.
You take your eyes off the prize and the main goal, which is building yourself according to my specifications in order to be to be successful in this mission. When you do this makes your vision blurry and you are susceptible to deception. This in turn allows you to get taken off course and have a harder time completing what has been started. When mistakes are made in the building process it has to be torn down and reconstructed in order for it to be solid and stable.
It is not over until it is over and finished. Do not let the enemy tell you there is no chance and that it is impossible to finish what has been started. If a person stops building the house the house is not built. You must press on and keep going no matter what is thrown your way.
Sin cannot be a part of your building structure. You must get sin out because it will cause rot to the very stabilizing base of your building. It is like a termite is to wood. Much destruction will come and it will continue to eat at and degrade the structure until it is dealt with. You must get rid of sin and build with holiness, righteousness, a sound mind and a pure heart. If you are not doing this then allow Me to tear down what needs to be torn down and rebuild your structure to bring perfection.
This building takes time, work, and patience. I want you to enjoy yourself during the process and really desire to get the most out of each piece that is placed. There is so much to learn by every nail that is put in place, every beam that is laid, and every stud that is built up. There is not one piece that is too great or too small that does not need to be place and in line with Me and My word. To be built to perfection there are no gray areas, loop holes or cutting corners.
I am telling you this today My children because there are many structural problems that need to be fixed. I want you to get before Me so that we can take care of these problems together and rebuild. I want you to get your eyes back on the finished project that you are trying to accomplish and quit being side tracked and distracted by doing things another way or taking short cuts. Things that are built up quickly are usually the things that fall quickly because something was over looked. I really want you to think about this today and seek Me so that all the little things can be dealt with too.
It is time to get your structure corrected because there is still so much more I want to build inside you as well as using you to build others. I cannot do this if you are not taking care of your own structure. So today come to Me and let’s take care of it and get back on track. Let’s get your eyes focused on Me and the tasks at hand. Let us take a closer look at the blueprint and see where you are and where you are going.
Do not assume that you are ok. Get before Me and let Me reveal all that needs to be fixed and let’s start rebuilding and bring strength to you once again.
“Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us — they help us learn to endure. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” (Romans 5:1-5, NIV)
“God blesses the people who patiently endure testing. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” (James 1:12)
“But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, “ (Galations 5:22)
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me — the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his glorious return.” (2 Timothy 4:7-8)
“Develop your business first before building your house.” (Proverbs 24:27)
“For every house has a builder, but God is the one who made everything.” (Hebrews 3:4)
“So why do you call me ‘Lord,’ when you won’t obey me? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then obeys me. It is like a person who builds a house on a strong foundation laid upon the underlying rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who listens and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will crumble into a heap of ruins.” (Luke 6:46-49)
“We work together as partners who belong to God. You are God’s field, God’s building — not ours.” (1 Corinthians 3:9)
“ But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first getting estimates and then checking to see if there is enough money to pay the bills?” (Luke 14:28)
