FAITH & PATIENCE
By Jim Rinker
"It will take both faith and patience in order to receive the promises of God"
I have spoken to the hearts of many of My children and deposited in their spirit a true vision for the establishment of My kingdom on earth. That vision cannot come to pass without My manifest presence in your midst.
Because I have tarried says the Lord, many of My children have forsaken My vision which I have given them and have settled back into the religious form that they are most familiar with. I want to reaffirm to you My children that it will take both "faith" and "patience" to see the promises that I have spoken to you fulfilled in your midst.
I have tarried so that I may try you and find out all that is in your heart says the Lord. I have tarried and brought you through the wilderness so that I may work into you My perfect faith and perfect patience which breeds perfect obedience to My word says the Lord (Romans 5:2-5).
The enemy will attempt to use any and every temptation to try and get you to substitute religious form for My manifest presence in this hour. Stand firm and be strong and courageous in this hour My children for I am well pleased with those who reverence Me and My word above all else and will greatly reward those who will wait upon Me to go before them (Isaiah 66:1-2, Exodus 33:12-23).
My instruction to you My children is to wait on Me in this hour for you can do nothing without Me and My manifest presence in your midst. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on Me for many have decided in their heart to move presumpuously before Me attempting to do the work of the kingdom by the hand of the flesh.
Have I not said to you that I desire obedience and not sacrafices?
Therefore, yoke yourself to Me for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. It is My full intention to fill the earth with My glory through earthen vessel's that are completely submitted to My Lordship (Ephesians 3:10-12, Luke 9:23-24). Focus your efforts in this hour on abiding in Me and allowing Me to perfect your obedience to Me for when I move I will accomplish all that I have spoken by the strength of My spirit and not by the hand of the flesh.
We would like to hear from you, sharing your calling in God, and what the Lord is speaking to your heart in this last hour of time. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Email us at: Vitalwords@aol.com
