Good
morning, Heartdwellers. The Lord’s peace
and joy be with you today.
“All
of you I have brought together
for a purpose. Each of you have
gifts and attributes the other is
missing. Haven't you noticed that?
No two are alike? How I
delight in your differences and how
I delight when I see you making
use of yourselves melded into, one,
providing for the needs of others.
Even
as it is written: Our
desire is not that others might
be relieved while you are hard
pressed, but that there might be
equality. At the present time your
plenty wil l supply what they need,
so that in turn their plenty
will supply what you need. The
goal is equality, as it is
written: “The one who gathered much
did not have too much, and the
one who gathered little did not
have too little.” 2 Cor.
8:13-‐15
“This
world is a very lonely place
and part of your testimony as
belonging to Me is that you go
about doing good where you can.
By this, all men will know that
you are Mine. You were right
when you said that I never give
up on anyone and you shouldn't
either.
“MyBrides,
all around you I have placed
those with needs that you have
the wherewithal to meet. But your
society is so corrupted with private
interests that you are insulated to
the point where you don’t notice,
unless you are listening very
carefully to My Spirit, in which case
you will inquire as to the
needs of those around you.
“This
is an exercise in both selflessness,
obedience and patience. Taking the
time from your own personal interests
to insure the needs of others
is a trait of My Disciple.
How shallow your society is, and has
deliberately been designed by the enemy to
isolate. Yes, he is well
practiced in manipulation to isolate
the weakm and
lonely that he may devour them
and separate them from Me, giving
them no hope whatsoever.
“But
when you respond to the needs of
others out of love and compassion
for your brother, as it is
written, “love your
brother as you love yourself”,
you are doing more than acting
in My stead.
“When
the Son of Man comes in his
glory, and all the angels with
him, then he will sit on his
glorious throne. Before
him will be gathered all the
nations, and he will separate people
one from another as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the goats.
And,
just as an aside here, I don’t
know how many of you are
familiar with the difference between
sheep and goats. When we raised
sheep and angora goats, we noticed
something about them. The goats are
very aggressive –they’ll
butt the sheep right out of the
food, right out of the grains
and the alfalfa if you let
them. They’re very aggressive and the
sheep are more meek and tend to
hang back and be pushed around
more easily.
And
he will place the sheep on his
right, but the goats on the
left. Then the King will say to
those on his right, ‘Come, you
who are blessed by my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world. For
I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me
drink, I was a stranger and you
welcomed me, I was naked and
you clothed me, I was sick and
you visited me, I was in prison
and you came to me.’
Then
the righteous will answer him,
saying, ‘Lord, when did we see
you hungry and feed you, or
thirsty and give you drink? And
when did we see you a stranger
and welcome you, or naked and clothe
you? And when did we see you
sick or in prison and visit you?’
And the King will answer them,
‘Truly, I say to you, as you
did it to one of the least
of these my brothers, you did it
to me.’ Matthew 25:31-‐40
“So,
I am assigning you, in this very
moment, the task of enquiring about
the state of those around you.
Whether it be brother, sister,
mother, father, neighbor or classmate.
I want you to go out of
your way to be good to them.
In this moment, you have very
little concept of what you look
like to Heaven. In Heaven, you will
be stripped clean of all things
done from the motive of
self-‐interest. At that point
all that will be left to you
is what you did out of
brotherly love and selflessness. Can
you take a moment and consider
what I am saying, graphically?
Everything you've done for yourself
and your own desires beyond the
realm of absolute necessity–the
merits of EVERYTHING -‐will be
removed from you.
“This
is why the wedding guest was
removed from the banquet. Simply stated,
he lived for himself and had no
covering.”
But,
Lord, isn't that works righteousness?
“Well,
in a sense you could say that, but
remember, I am not talking about
salvation or justification-‐which is
by faith alone. No, here I am
talking about rank and position.
There are many, many layers and
dimensions to Heaven. There is a
place called The
Outer Darkness, which
is reserved for those who are
saved but did very little for
others in their lives. This is
as it should be Clare. Believe Me,
this is justice. The more you
resemble Me, the closer to the
Glory of the Throne you will
be.”
But
Lord, in the outer darkness, You
said there will be grinding and
gnashing of the teeth.
“Yes,
indeed there will. The recognition
of the selfishness of your life
will at first be very painful
to witness. It is not
something you can run and hide
from; it will be evident to all. And
many of those who live for
themselves are blind to their
nakedness, so it will be a
shock to them. My Love, when
you make good deeds a habit
pattern of your life, you go
around convicting My “blind”
Body of their own
nakedness. The more long-‐suffering
and generous your charity, the more
convicted they become. I know
you have felt this way, because I
have taken the time to convict
you, on many occasions.
“This
world is topsy-‐turvey, Clare. What is
applauded by men is a disgrace
in Heaven. And what is looked
upon as a waste of time and
energy on behalf of others, in
Heaven is applauded. Men's
consciences are just terribly deformed
and it is only through My grace
that those who have been raised
improperly ever come to an
understanding of good and bad.
“You
are My most exquisite of all
creatures, My People. And the more you
resemble Me, the greater your reward
in Heaven. I have given you
intelligence, reason, and free will.
Note that the greater your vigilance
over others, the greater My vigilance
and reward, both now and in the
age to come, over you. Press in
therefore, with these gifts, My Beloved.
There is a crown waiting for those
who run to win until the end.
“I
am coming soon. Make the best
of time left to you.”
