For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must account. Hebrews 4:12-13.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Many people are asking other people what they are to do to do My Will and how they discern what My Will is for their life. Really, you should ask Me first because I know and others do not really know what I am saying about you. I share that with you.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.’ Revelation 2:17
I call you each by name. Unique and precious, My plans for you outnumber the sand. The sand, though you cannot count the grains, is finite, I weighed it all out when I created the earth in perfect rotational balance, but My plans for you are forever, even though I know them all now.
Also about your purpose, do not be looking for who you are and were made to be in ungodly philosophies. People are asking other people what their purpose is. Only the creator knows the purpose for which he made something, although often from its makeup it is obvious what the purpose of something is, such as shining a flashlight on the trail in a dark night, but not always.
My Will, which is the unique plan for your life, cannot be separated from your purpose and My basic plan for this life and for eternity for all people. You have a high calling to My eternal glory and Kingdom and that too stems from purpose and plan and has to do with the reward that is forever and the power to do all of your calling, that is, to fulfill the work I have set aside for you at each stage and age (era) of the journey into and through eternity.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:2-3.
And this gets greater and greater, richer and richer, throughout eternity. It is like the development of the our everlasting Covenant since the falling of man into sin and death and My way of leading him out of death to life in the development of the Covenant sequence, which will continue on greater and greater in the Everlasting Covenant you step into on the Last Day in that forever union celebrated in the great marriage feast of the Lamb.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:4-10.
Glory is the exercise of My immense power in love producing good and eradicating evil. And that is what your life is to do as well.
Like Jesus: You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38.
And what is My Will for your life? It is fourfold and encompasses what I have equipped you to do in Jesus. It is all built on one foundation and all rises on the chief cornerstone. The whole plan of creation, salvation, and eternal life is built on one act of your will: receiving Jesus as Lord so that you can return to the rest of ONENESS in Love as Love and for Love for which I made you.
For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. . . Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:23, 1 Peter 2:1-5.
I am going to take you on a journey of life now and you must be willing to travel this way of revelation with Me and not draw back because your destiny and that of everyone tied to you in one way or another will be affected by your walk for good or for evil, for truth or for lies. But it is only the truth that will set you free to be the glorious you I made you to be.
Are you willing?
It all starts in your thoughts. Before an infant can even speak to express them thoughts are forming as pictures in that infant’s mind. And all that time from conception through eternity you will be forming thoughts. And these must be directed and connected to Me to bring about perfection. For there is an adversary who will try to dominate your thinking to blind your eyes to the glory in Christ lest you be saved and come to know the truth for then his tactics will come to naught. His only way to stay on earth and control things is by those willing to become his dwelling place for thoughts and works. If you cling to Me however, he cannot touch you, for an unclean spirit cannot dwell in one filled with the Holy Spirit.
Be careful to guard your thought life and know where your thoughts are coming from and what to reject or accept by whether thoughts put you in the darkness of torment, violence, deathly desires, and destructive ways that do not give life and peace but cause division and pain and death or whether they take you into the peaceful realm of light where righteousness, peace, joy, and newness of life dwell that bring life to all flesh, this will tell the source of your thoughts. I am the Father of lights and every good thing given and perfect gift comes down from Me. With Me is the fountain of life and in My light you see light. I am love and love never harms the neighbor.
I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. I have set the LORD continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will dwell securely. For You will not abandon my soul to hell; nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:7-11.
The thought that will bring you to glory begins as a desire to know your creator and to please Him. With this I can work to shape your life into one of beauty and grace that outlives time and space but hurdles you over to finish your race in glory.
I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. John 17:4-5.
This glorifies Me in your life because the work I give you is a work of glory.
Think about Saul of Tarsus before He knew Jesus. The thought in his heart was to know Me and please Me. His zeal was misdirected and it made his heart hard to the truth until I intercepted his path and the glory of My Son was revealed to him. Then his thoughts changed to the truth but the zeal to know Me and please Me did not change but grew stronger as he experienced the unfathomable riches of Christ. He found as David sang in Psalm 103 that My love is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea and that I have put your sins away from you as far as the east from the west.
But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Philippians 3:7-8.
Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:9-10.
But think of Judas, he started well as one of the chosen twelve to be with Jesus as His disciples, but thoughts of fear for his future and seeing the large offerings that people gave to the work of the ministry in gratitude for deliverance and healing caused the thought to come to take his wages from it for all he had given up to follow Jesus. But then opened to sin the greed came in to take more and more unto seeking large offerings rather than ministering to the people, until Jesus reprimanded him about the woman who poured out her jar of costly perfume to anoint Jesus. He was offended and went and betrayed My Son for mere thirty pieces of silver. Be careful of the thoughts you let grow and act upon. And after that Satan who had only had a toehold, took a stronghold and entered Judas’ heart and took over his life. Thus turning him into a weapon of destruction of Jesus and of his own life in doing so.
Be careful if your “god” leads you into being a suicide bomber. The zeal is there for “god” but is totally misplaced on a god of destruction which you must realize is wrong for the creator of life would never seek to destroy life and you in the process.
Do you remember John and James in their zeal? Jesus reprimanded them as being of the wrong spirit.
When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. But they did not receive Him, because He was traveling toward Jerusalem. When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” And they went on to another village. Luke 9:51-56.
Keep your thoughts out of evil. I told Adam not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil but only of the tree of life. You should discern evil but NEVER know it.
For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Romans 16:19-20.
Keep evil out of your thoughts if you want to know and do My Will.
Do not participate (sugkoinóneó ( συγκοινωνέω): To share in, to participate with, to have fellowship with) in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose (elegchó (ἐλέγχω): to convict, to reprove, to expose, to refute, to rebuke, to correct. The term has to do with guarding the flock. It prevents doctrinal drift (Titus 1:9) and pursues wandering sheep (Matthew 18:15).) them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed (ἐλέγχω) by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. Ephesians 5:11-13.
Pray for people who do evil that the light may enter in and rescue them from the power of darkness that is destruction of themselves and others but do not think about them, that is, what they do, it is shameful nd you do not want to take your mind there. Stay in the light. Walk above and not beneath where you are seated with Christ at My right hand. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who is My Word, the author and perfector of your faith. Do not dwell on the evil deeds you hear people describing about the flesh, it will stain you. I tell you to keep your mind above, unstained by the world. James 1:27; Colossians 3:1-3. Be imitators of Me as My beloved children in My image and according to My likeness and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for you, an offering and a sacrifice to Me as a fragrant aroma.
But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among My holy people; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in My kingdom of Christ and God. Ephesians 5:4-5.
So what are you to do with you thoughts? I even tell you that to make things easy for you.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9.
And cast all your care on Me because I care for you. Do not worry about anything but in everything consult with Me and let Me show you what to do. It all starts with the thought of coming to Me to see.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7.
When you concentrate like a news cast on the evil and ungodly things sinners do you ae stained by the world. What do you do instead?
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh. Jude 1:20-23.
And the result of your royal priesthood prayers for sinners to see the light with your great High Priest Jesus in total agreement?
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25.
You become like what you are looking at. Adam and Eve focused only on one tree when they had thousands of them at their disposal and had Me walking with them every day in the Garden.
Where are you focusing? Did you answer “on Jesus”? That is the way you know Me and please Me. Are those the thoughts of your heart too? I can lead you to all truth if that is the case. Eternal life is to know Me, the One true God, and the One I sent Jesus Christ your Lord. And that is My Will for your life. Forever.
This life lesson is long enough but in the next one we will look at your fourfold purpose, so do not think I forgot about what I mentioned that earlier.
I love you. And that is where you should be looking. My loving eyes are always on you for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope—an eternal one. Seek My Face.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope for His lovingkindness, to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name. Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have hoped in You. Psalm 33:18-22.
