To Singles in the Body of Christ  -

"Thus saith The Lord  - your singleness of heart and devotion to Me are so pleasing to Me - you are no less important or useful to Me than My married servants.  You do not fall short in any way and I decree you are the equal of any married couple. Do not allow men to lowly esteem you for you are highly valued by Me  - you are single in flesh only for you are My bride, worthy of Me, called to abide IN Me and I IN you  - for does not this describe a marriage? 

Your Maker is your Husba - and you shall be fruitful and you shall multiply - let no man despise you saith The Lord.   I love you just as much as My married servants,  you are called according to My purpose - fitly loined together with those who have married to form a more perfect union. If you are led by Me to marry, know you will not fall short by doing so for your heart belonged to Me first - I am and always will be your first love - remain focused on Me and your spouse will follow and the two of you will be one, single before Me, and our delights will never end, saith The Lord ".

I woke up this morning with this word in my heart. The first words were literally my first conscious thoughts of the day - I jumped out of bed, grabbed pen and paper and the rest followed. Whether we are married in our flesh or not, we're all single before The Lord  - we're all engaged to Him - preparing ourselves to be His bride forever.  Single of heart and mind  - fixated on Him alone and not ourselves or any other god or man.

   Just as we are not to despise someone for their youth - so must we not belittle them for being single, or divorced, or female or any other fleshly consideration.

More Throne room Perspective

 

Radical change will take place inside the Throne Room - for the better of course. All for our good. We will no longer fellowship around words. It will be ok to go long stretches without anyone speaking at all. Sometimes,  when the Lord is present  - we are struck dumb by His majesty.  I was once at a Derek Prince meeting when the Lord HIMSELF appeared and walked right down the center aisle of the church,  back to front. The entire church,  hundreds of people,  all fell silent at the same time  - literally speechless! When He is present in this way - there is a holy fear: one dares not speak and many fell on their faces  - and we wait on Him to speak. So, in the future, when we meet in His Throne Room,  we will fellowship around His words, not our own. We will value and honor His words alone  - for they are spirit and they are life.

We will not fellowship around flesh, around one man, one man's ministry,  any longer. Jesus is far too great to be limited to one man or woman. I commit to you to speak only what I hear the Father saying,  no more, no less. If he gives me nothing, I'LL say nothing. He may give words to say to you, not I. He may want actions,  not words. 

Part Two

You shall utterly destroy all the places,  wherein the nations which you shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains,  and upon the hills, and under every green tree: and you shall overthrow their altars, and burn their groves with fire (why do you think we must be baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire?) and you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place  - How needed is the ministry of "spiritual house cleaning" - something our ministry does for people.  Individuals need this as well as churches. They need Apostles and Prophets to come in and cleanse them of all that isn't of God. It takes great humility on the part of those receiving this "house cleaning" to go through it  - but it also requires humility on the part of those administering it. 

Rehoboam ordained him priests for the high places,  and for the devils and for the calves which he had made - there will always be priests (pastors, leaders) who will be attracted to money and power  - to the "kings" of their day  - who will prostitute their talents and anointing in service to evil kings. As far as I'm concerned,  the men who head and maintain denominations are "evil kings"  - who have priests (pastors) to minister in their  "high places" (churches).

But when we lift the Lord up into the "high places of our hearts" - all that used to be there must go, and will go  - "And his heart was lifted up in the ways of The Lord " Oh may this be said of all God's people  - moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah (2 Chronicles 17:6) Hallelujah!

 Many of us still have idols set up in the high places of our hearts - pet doctrines we're refusing to let go of, areas we're refusing to surrender to the Holy Spirit  - areas we will not allow Him to speak to us about  - tithing, for example.  We each must tear down our own idols  - or idols we allowed devils to erect inside us (some become strongholds).

Any doctrine, philosophy, pursuit, lifestyle,  that opposes Him  - is an idol. A false god. Something we lift up above Him. And it must go. All of them. None of us are exempt.  Ministry can become an idol. A sports team. Music. A secret sin. Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. And The Lord was angry with Solomon  - And Amaziah did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, howbeit, the high places WERE NOT TAKEN AWAY: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.  And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God, and they built them high places in all their cities  - this refers also - not just to unrepentant hearts, lifted up in pride  - but to churches as well  - "They built them high places in all their cities" - places full of pride - where they do as THEY please - not what pleases The Lord  - where they that which is right in their own eyes,  not in the eyes of the Lord. Almost every city on earth has churches like this. Why does God exalt (lift up) the humble but abase (lower) the proud? Because the proud have exalted themselves.  Far better to lower yourself then have God exalt you than to exalt yourself and have God humble you. Many which are highly esteemed in the world's eyes are lowly esteemed by God, and many that the world lowly esteems are highly esteemed by God. When we  - God's people  - refuse to give God the high places of our hearts,  we are behaving just like the world does - we are emulating the world, not Christ  - who walked in humility all His days. Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places.  We need Apostolic Josiahs - who will put down the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places round about Jerusalem.  Whom man ordains, God despises. Man ordains  - God anoints and calls, from birth. We need Apostles and Prophets to confront the "idolatrous priests" of our day  - we need to cleanse the "high places" in every city of idolatry and all that rebels against and resists God. We need to give the high places back to Him. The enemy always seeks the high ground.  Whoever possesses, occupies, the high ground, will win the war. It's possible to give our hearts to the Lord -  but not all of them. False priests (pastors) and prophets both seek the high ground  - Balak took Balaam and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that he might see - If we make a half-hearted commitment to the Lord  - the enemy will occupy our high places. We can see best from there. We can see our enemy approaching from there - from a long way off. False pastors and prophets,  apostles and teachers - all want the high places of our hearts.  They want to be exalted by us, over the Lord, in our hearts. I've met them. They actually told me - their will be done, not God's.  

Part two soon

 "So many today have prostituted My Gospel, says The Lord. They have merchandized My anointing and My Grace  - selling it for profit,  and I, even I will show Myself strong on behalf of the poor, on behalf of those who have refused to become spiritual prostitutes  - selling sermons and books to gain  - not give. Those who do not charge  for My words are those who are most pleasing to Me. I forsake their Temple of Temptation - where they give honor to one another but not to Me. As Samson brought down the Temple -  so shall My Apostles and Prophets lay waste to the sanctuaries where I am despised.  For they love money more than Me, saith thy God. They prostitute themselves to the highest bidder. They cater to their flesh at the expense of their souls: they shall not see My Glory - but My Bride will - for she has come away with Me  - She has seperated herself in this pristine wilderness,  where she fills herself with My fragrance  - I am her sole desire- I am her beloved Groom, for Me her heart's on fire, for Me she has made room! I am not a guest, I am her eternal lover, and I will not pursue another.
