I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!!! Our time left here on earth is coming to a close as the timing of our King Jesus' return is getting closer and as I usually do every first of the year, I seek God's voice regarding the new year.God is always on the move and we need to keep pace with Him these days. He wants us to seek Him deeper than we ever have before. He wants to be pursued with the same firey passion He feels for us.So, He has speaking to me about a deeper consecration He wants to do, not only in me, but in the entire body of Christ as He calls us deeper into relationship with Him as THE LOVER OF OUR SOUL. He brought my attention to old mindsets I still hold about my past and how I allow the old shame based thinking that hold me back from His best. I go so far than retreat because of fears of unworthiness based on what I CAN NOT DO. It's all about Him though and what does the scripture say? I CAN DO ALL THINGS IN CHRIST JESUS, the emphasis IN CHRIST because we can do NOTHING w/o Him. But we think accepting our weaknesses and using them as an excuse is humility, when in essence Christ showed me it is a deeper pride issue of trusting in myself and refusing to trust Him. Thus I have repented and surrendered those emotions, cleared the path so to speak. So I can hear His voice clearly again!!!
So, I was thinking on how Benny Hinn prophesied that 2009 is the year of GREATER ANOINTING and while I was thinking, the Lord said, "and deeper anointings require deeper accountability-a deeper awareness of His holiness and our responsibility to uphold those standards of holiness. I recently went thru leadership training classes in my church so I'm much more aware of His high calling and the stewardship required. So, this is Your word spoken thru the prophets, Lord-those with "ears", let them hear!!!
