Subject: Preferring To Remain In Control


In this last hour EVERY Christian MUST be strengthened with great power in
their inner man - in order that they might be found to be rooted and
grounded in the love of God. If our EVERY motivation is not rooted and
grounded in "godly desire" then we are not going to be able to comprehend
either the magnificence or the magnitude of the Father's glorious plan for
the Church. God is love and He CANNOT be comprehended - in any way - apart
from love! There are many who "think" that they comprehend God's plan - but
they do not!

Quite simply, the love of God is not abiding in their heart and, therefore,
they are blinded by the spirits of darkness that prey upon every remaining
ground of self-desire and pride - ground which has remained solely because
one has refused to enter into perfect fellowship and relationship with the
Father - on His terms. In preferring to remain in control of their own lives
they have been - and shall continue to be - used by the Evil One to carry
out his schemes against those who are truly serving God. This "fellowship"
with darkness is precisely why there are so many different and varying false
doctrines in the church at large. This ought not be! And with a view to
these things the Father is about to unleash a holy fire that will both
expose and consume ALL that is unrighteously motivated.

"The promised winds of change are beginning to blow. You will soon see the
evidence of this wind in your lives. This wind is My tool to move you into
your positions of destiny for this coming time. I will remove some of the
old, bring in some of the new, and adjust that which is to remain - for your
maximum benefit and effectiveness in My Kingdom. This wind may prove to be a
bit unnerving as you are moved out of what you consider comfortable.
However, if you will place your full confidence in Me, the season of
transition will be shortened. The key is to move with My wind. If you try to
do this work in the flesh, you will find yourself on the wrong path and in
the wrong wind. Prepare for My wind... it's beginning to blow!"
