There is mistrust everywhere because people don’t walk in Love. Fear breeds mistrust because you don’t have abundance and you are afraid that someone will take what you do have. People have become scarcity-minded and have no idea how FATHER could intervene in their lives. Why? They are seeking the world’s ways and not The Way Jesus spoke of in John 14:
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
Do you want to learn how to trust? Read the words of Jesus in the Gospels, especially John. Jesus’ words revealed FATHER and HIS Divine Intent of Love. As you immerse yourself in hearing about HIM, you will gain trust IN HIM. Proverbs chapter 3 makes it perfectly clear:
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
Trust IN HIM comes before understanding and if you wait until you have full understanding you will miss walking in the fullness of HIS Divine Intent. You will be too busy studying when you should be “doing”. In the world people who go to college for an extended period of time are called professional students. They are enamored with learning at the expense of “doing”. If you don’t go out and plant seed, don’t expect to see a harvest. People are so afraid to fail that they are unwilling to step out in faith. People have become so fearful of greater scarcity they are unwilling to invest in the Kingdom with their resources. FATHER simply passes over them as HE finds someone HE can work with and bless.
Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
How many of you are reluctant to express to other people your Love and walk with FATHER? Do you openly exalt Our Heavenly Father to strangers or are you a “closet” Christian? Some might say they don’t want to offend others by professing their Love and faith. Jesus had no issue in expressing the reality of the Kingdom as He said in John chapter “Does this offend you?” to His disciples. Their response: Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?”.
FATHER is separating the sheep from the goats. HE is sending out the invitations as I write. The question is “Are you in or are you out?” and depending on your answer AND resulting action, the access through the door is being determined. As for me and my family, we are “all in!”
Yesterday morning I awoke at 4:20AM and was laying in bed awaiting instructions from FATHER. Suddenly my wife gets out of bed and leaves the dark bedroom. In a few minutes she returns and goes back to sleep. FATHER then instructs me to get up and I begin the day. Later at breakfast, she mentions hearing the door bell and went to see who was at the door at 4:30 in the morning… no one. She told me she nearly woke me up to go check but was instructed by FATHER not to do so. She didn’t know I was already awake in order to confirm that the doorbell did not physically ring, it was in the Spiritual. The knocking has now been heard three times and the doorbell has sounded. The visitation is at hand… now is the time. I am unwilling to be silent about the hour, neither should you.
Proverbs 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.
Those who are responding to HIS Call are seeing fruit as HE is orchestrating their steps. HE is directing our path now. I now have no 5 year plan, no 1 year plan, no one month plan but my question is: “FATHER what is it YOU want me to do today?”, “Where do YOU want me to go?”, “Who do YOU want me to talk to?”. I don’t worry about the “Why?” for it is HIS responsibility to deal with both How and Why of the matter.
Proverbs 3:9 Honor the LORD with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
There are those with possessions that are unavailable to FATHER and that is a sad state of affairs. They don’t trust HIM or they would ready to deploy those resources when HE speaks. They will position themselves to be unable to hear HIS Voice for they walk in fear of loss. They do not have the revelation of honoring THE LORD with their possessions for they do not realize that HE will bless them with “barns filled with plenty” and “vats overflowing”. HE will simply go to another who will respond to HIS invitation.
Ultimately it is all about trust. Do you truly trust FATHER? If you don’t trust HIM, then you don’t have the revelation of Love and don’t understand HIS Divine intent and motivation. Instead your life is motivated by fear. Yes, this is a hard saying but it is necessary for this hour. The doorbell has rung and the invitation will be withdrawn. The door will be shut and will not be opened again…
