Water Your Gifts, Teaching from Jesus on Persevering

Water  Your  Gifts. October  16,  2015

I  HAVE  IMPLANTED WITHIN  EACH  OF  YOU  SEEDS  OF  GIFTS  TO  BE  USED  ON  MY  BODY  AND  ON  THOSE  WHO  AS  YET  DO  NOT  KNOW  ME.  

MY  CHILDREN,  THESE  GIFTS  MUST  BE  TENDED  AND  GENTLY  CARED  FOR  LEST  THE  DESTROYER  (ANOTHER  NAME  FOR  SATAN)  SEND  HIS  AGENTS  TO  STEAL  THEM  BEFORE  THEM  COME  TO  FRUITION. A  FEW  DAYS  AGO  I  GAVE  A  FRESH  IMPARTATION  TO  THIS  FAMILY,  AN  IMPARTATION  FOR  HEALING.  I  EXPLAINED  IT  SO  SIMPLY  THAT  NONE  COULD  MISUNDERSTAND.   ALL  THAT  IS  NEEDED  FOR  A  HEALING  IS  A  SICK  PERSON,  A  BELIEVER  AND  THAT  EQUALS  A  MIRACLE.  YOU  COULD  ALSO  WRITE  THE  EQUATION  THIS  WAY  IF  YOU  HAD  TO:  A  SICK  PERSON,  A  BELIEVER EXERCISING  THEIR  FAITH,  EQUALS  A  MIRACLE. I  WANT  YOU  TO  CONTINUE  TO  CULTIVATE  THIS  GIFT. IT  IS  IMPORTANT  TO  ME  BECAUSE  I  USE  HEALING TO  BRING  UNBELIEVERS  TO  ME.

Signs  and  wonders  will  follow  those  that  believe: deliverance,  healing,  understanding,  breakthroughs-­‐all  these  attributes  attend  you  My  children  and  My  Bride.  That  is  why  I  gave  them.   Now  it  is  up  to  you  to cultivate  and  not  allow  the  enemy's  agents  come  and  steal  them  away so  that  you  end  up  just  as  ill-­‐equipped  as  you  were  before  I  gave  this  impartation.

Please  don't  grow  weary  in  well  doing.  Please  don't  allow  your  faith  to  backslide.  You  see, you  must  exercise these  gifts  for  them  to  grow.  Don't  allow  the  weeds  of  unbelief  spring  up  around  them.  You  know  the  parable  about  the  seed:  some  seed fell  among  the  thorns  and  the  cares  of  this  world  grew  up  around  the  seed  and  choked  it  out. (Luke  8)  This  is  something  for  you  to  be  aware  of  right  now.  This  is  the  approaching  season  when  the  demons  incite  avarice,  greed  and  busy  work,  luring  you  away  from  spiritual  things  into  carnal things.    

To  survive  this  and  see  your  faith  seeds  grow, you  will  have  to  use  them  more  often. Invest  more  time  in  using  them,  step  forward  in  faith  at  every  opportunity.  Don't  be  shy.  The  fact  that you  were  obedient,  even  though  you  didn’t  really  feel  the  anointing,  draws  down  My  Mercy  and  Grace.  This  is  also  My season  and  I  am  with you.  I  am  sending  you  people  to  pray  for, Be  on  the  alert  for  them. They  may  even  distract  you  away  from  shopping or  whatever  you  go  out  to  do.  Don't  be  shy  about  grabbing  opportunities  to  pray  for  people.  Remember  also  the  simple  formula,  so  simple  a  five  year  old  could  easily  exercise...and  you  are  coming  into  a  season  when  children   will  be  more  and  more  anointed  to  pray  for  you.

Do  you  believe  Jesus  can  heal?    

Do  you  believe  Jesus  lives  in  me?

Do  you  believe  that  He  can  reach  out  through  me  and  heal  you?

How  much  more  simple  could  you  get?    This de-­‐mystifies  the  gift  of  healing  and  brings  it  down  into  an  easily  attainable  practice.    No  showmanship,  only  love  and  faith.

If  you  don't  use  your  muscles  they  become  weak  and  atrophied.    This  is  what  happens  to  most  Christians  when  they  are  converted.    They  are  all  on  fire  to  go  out  and  do  things  for  Me,  the  gift  of  healing  is even in  operation,  but  as  time  goes  by  they  put  that  toy  down  to  look  for  another  one.  

Gee,  Lord,  I  did  that.    

Yes,  but  you  also  had  discouragement.   The  leaders  of  that  church  did  not  raise  people  up,  they  pushed  them  down.  And  that  is  precisely  why  so  many  churches  are  emptying.  People  are  tired  of  being  on  fire  and  getting  a  wet rag  thrown  over  them.  Why  do  leaders  do  this?  They  are  afraid.  Afraid it  will  get  out  of  hand,  and  it  may  very  well get  out  of  hand,  but  a  skilled  shepherd  will  bring  his  flock  back  into  line  even  when a  few  sheep  wander  off,  or  if  the  older  sheep  butt  the  younger  ones.  

This  essentially  is  a  very  good  picture  of  what  happens  with  the  gifts  I  give,  in  churches.  It  is  so  terribly  sad. I  send  those  to  pray  and  healings  happen,  then  someone  shuts  that  new  person  down,  trying  to  protect  what  they  believe  is  their  territory.  So  the  sick  in  that  church  slowly  waste  away  and  die,  right  in  front  of  the  people  who  prevented  their  healing.

I  am  not  exaggerating  here,  I  am  simply  stating  a  fact,  and  that's  one  major  reason  people  leave  these  churches.  But  My  Brides, you  have  a  part  to  pay  in  this. You  must  tend  to  this  tender  plant  and  bring  it  up  into  maturity,  exercise  it  at  every  turn,  at  every  opportunity. Don't  grow  weary  or  lazy  and  miss  a chance  to  touch  people  for  Me. If  the  first  time  doesn't  do  the  job, pray  again,  and  again,  in  faith.  You  have  nothing  to  lose  and  everything  to  gain  from showing  your  care  for  others.  At  the  very  least, they  will  be  touched  that  you  cared  enough  to  stop  what  you  were  doing  and  minister  to  them.

This  is  a  soft  approach  to  calling  the  lambs  in.  You  aren't  overpowering  them  with  Scripture, but  you  are  touching  them  with  My  Hands.  You  are  giving  them  the  opportunity  to  at  least  feel  loved  by  Me  and  there  are  yet  things  I  impart  to  a  soul  when  you  pray. They, too, are  given  a  seed. They, too, are  stirred  and  left  with  a  loving  impression.

So  much  takes  place  in  the  spirit  realm,  so  much  is  accomplished  that  is  not  recognized.  Souls  that  have  given  up  on  being  loved  by  Me,  are  restored  in  hope. They  feel  My  concern  for  them.  Many are  the  souls  that  think  I  have  abandoned  them  and  that  they  are  not  worthy. Reaching  out  to  pray  with  them  gives  you  the  opportunity  to  tell  them  that  that  is  NEVER  the  case,  rather  it  is  the  enemy  who  is  insinuating  those  things.  The  enemy  wants  them  to feel  condemned,  hopeless,  forsaken.    

There  are  some  you  need  to  tell,  You  know,  the  Lord  set  this  up. He  loves  you  and  He  wanted  you  to  know  how  much. He  doesn't  care  about  your  past. He  is  all  about  your  future.  When you  turn  a  glance  in  His  direction  with  a  repentant  heart,  He  immediately  forgives  you  and  welcomes  you  into  His  arms,  where  He  can  give  you  the  strength  to  go  and  sin  no  more. Don't  let  the  Father  of  Lies  trick  you  into  believing  otherwise,  the  Bible  doesn't  call  him  the  accuser  of  the  brethren  for  nothing.

All  these  short  instructions  help  a  soul  to  open  up  to  healing,  open  up  to  the  possibility  that  I  haven't  written  them  off,  and  reach  out  to  Me  for  forgiveness  and  a  life  of  communion  and  restoration  of  fellowship.    As  you  go  about  your  days, ask  some  people,  How  do  you  feel  about  God? And  what  do  you  think  He  feels  about  you?’ This  is the  perfect  way  to  begin  a  non-­‐threatening  conversation  that  can  end  in  restoration  and  salvation  for  a  soul  who  felt  themselves  forsaken  a  long,  long  time  ago  and  has  just  buried  the  thought  of  having  a  friendship  with  Me.

So, in  essence,  I  am  asking  you  to  water  your  gift,  encourage it  to  grow  and  exercise  it  on  others.  You  would  be  shocked  to  know  how  many  you  pass  by  a  day  that  needed  to  know  Me in  a  deeper  way.  

Remember  My  Children  and  My  Bride:  I  am  with  you  when  you  reach  out  to  touch  them.  And  I  will  reach  through  you  and  touch  their  hearts  and  their  bodies.”

And  that's  the  end  of  the  message
