I am the Resurrection and the Life. No man cometh to Me except that I draw him. Know that I am about to draw MANY into My Kingdom. It will be a great wind that brings this harvest. Nothing can stop My wonderful work.
Many are planting seeds and now many of those seeds planted are going to bear much fruit. I am come that you might have LIFE ! I am going to pour
out on you a much greater measure than you have imagined of My LIFE.
Do not think that I am coming to bring peace however. This Wind that comes will bring My abundant LIFE and LOVE like never before, but it will be met with opposition. That is the nature of revival. For some will receive it, and others will not. Some will try to control it and you. Remember I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH and the LIFE !
I am coming to fill your baskets full that MY WILL can be done in bringing the Kingdom over all the earth. TRUST ME to be your advocate and Your DEFENDER ! I will not disappoint you My beloveds ! Open the gates of your hearts and let the King of Glory come in ! Who is this King of glory ? THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE !!!
Ps 24:7-10 NKJV Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah
Do only what I tell you or lead you to do. No more, no less. Follow the narrow path for great is the path that leads to destruction. Listen for the still small voice. Listen ! For I am calling to you. Let Me come in and sup with you. Let me dance with you and sing over you with delight. Do not be frightened by the appearance of angels. Test the spirits. Know that I am with you and will guide you as I bring forth My glorious work ! My winds are blowing and they will blow away all the chaff in your lives and the lives of those outside as well. Multitudes in the valley of decision ! All I allow has purpose. My purpose will be accomplished in your life. You can depend on it.
I WILL in no wise keep you from it ! All over the world, My Winds will blow
on My garden of reknown. Sudden changes are coming. Are you ready My beloveds ? Do not hesitate to follow after Your God willingly. Do not be surprised how this will come SUDDENLY !!!
Hidden Motives
Priscilla Van Sutphin
Dec 21st, 2004
Phil 1:18 NKJV What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
1 Cor 4:5 NIV Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
Motives/counsels NT:1012 boule (boo-lay'); from NT: 1014; volition, i.e. (objectively) advice, or (by implication) purpose: KJV - advise, counsel, will.
“My beloveds, I have been exposing in many of you the hidden motives of your heart, that you could see the barreness in your own life in certain areas. This is the plowing of your heart so that what is still hidden in the way of hurts and pain that is unhealed can be dealt with. There is still much insecurity and fears in your lives. And these disqualified people in the past from serving ME. I have heard your cries for wholeness and I am answering.
It’s just that your ways are not My ways always. I want you to learn your lessons well, so you never choose to divert this way or that way, away from My grace and perfect will for your life.
Do not be ashamed of your failures in motivations. Do not be overcome by your own sorrow at the lack in your flesh. I am exposing it that it can be dealt with. I will expose all the motives of men’s hearts. So you need not fear that I’m incapable of healing the most decrepid of hearts. I will heal the cold and calloused of heart. I will heal those who cower in fear and
hide from being real in life. Many of you have overcome many of the areas that others are still behind in. This has caused many to grow intolerant of the others still languishing and unhealed. I am PATIENT. That is a fruit of the Spirit. PEACE will give you patience ! Ask for My peace which comes when you keep your eyes STAYED on Me ! Look not around at all the circumstances, but lift your heads and worship. Thank Me even for those who misunderstand you and persecute you. REJOICE, and again I say REJOICE.
LESS OF YOU AND MORE OF ME is what I am after. You must decrease for Me to increase ! Humble yourselves in the sight of the LORD and HE will lift you up, the Word says ! Delight yourself in the Lord and HE will give you the desires of your heart. Ask for what you lack. Admit your lack and your sins. Stop hiding them and confess them to someone you trust not to trample you underfoot. Confession helps dissipate the attack of the enemy for he seeks always to secretly accuse you so that you despair. He is in hope of destroying those I am coming to. If he could kill many of you he will try. But I ALONE HOLD THE KEYS TO HELL AND DEATH !
I am laying waste all PRETENSE in your lives so that you will be real with each other and the world. I will destroy the hidden motives from My people who love me and know and confess their weaknesses. Do not allow the enemy to testify against you ! Do not hide your sins, but confess them to one another and be healed ! I came to provide the GRACE that you can walk in overcoming power and victory. But you must stop the hiding ! You must walk courageously with at least one other person. Part of restoration is making restitution. Zaccheus paid back finances he had stolen. For some of you all it will take is an apology. That means HUMBLING yourself and admitting you slandered someone and asking forgiveness. Or if you gossiped to confess it and allow the body to help pray for you so that you will be freed. Criticism is highly rampant in my church with a biting and devouring spirit running rampant.
The root of that criticism is PRIDE. Yes, you heard it ! PRIDE ! You are part of the problem or you can be part of the solution. It’s your choice.
There are times when I ask you to leave, to be the seed that dies and falls to the ground. There are other times when you need to pray it through and stop complaining and instead PRAISE ME in the midst of persecution and maligning. Much of what has come against you, is for your refining ! Obviously I do not want anyone to be hurt. But for some, it is the only way to develop compassion in you. I was a man acquainted with grief and sorrow.
Much of My church has not believed the doctrine of suffering with ME.
They think they shouldn’t have to suffer anything while others in other nations are dying and being persecuted and tormented and maimed for My name’s sake. I said if you share in My SUFFERING, you will SHARE IN MY GLORY. Are you willing to go all the way with ME ? Will you only love ME if I allow only good things to happen to you ? Will you give up when persecution comes ? I tell you the truth, it is coming. Will you complain and cry and dive into self pity, or will you take up your cross and walk ? Know that in the carrying of the cross, you will receive great glory ! Many have given up much more than you. Every day in other nations children starve.
I came to bring you life and prosperity, but the prosperity I bring is not always what you imagine ! You will have more than enough if you humble yourself and worship in spite of what is going on in your life ! The enemy is being used to SIFT you. I want you to come forth as GOLD ! Will you allow ME to be LORD and Master over your life or will you cling to your own will ? Begin to give up your will completely and watch how I will bless you ! Stop allowing yourselves to be deceived. Speak the Word of Life, but realize the work I am doing and call on ME for understanding. I am the RESOURCE of all you need. I AM WISDOM ! I love you as no other loves you and I will do what is BEST for you ! I promise to not leave you nor forsake you. What kind of parent abandons their child ? I AM NOT THAT PARENT ! I am a good FATHER who always has the best in mind for My children.”
1 Thess 2:3 NIV For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.
James 4:3 NIV When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
Prov 16:2 NIV All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD.
1 Peter 2:19-24 NKJV For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 22 "Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth"; 23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed.
Acts 14:22 NKJV strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."
2 Cor 4:17 NKJV For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
1 Thess 3:7-8 NKJV therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith. 8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
Heb 11:24-26 NKJV By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
