I received this word from the Lord this morning as a sharp rebuke. The Lord came into the room and told me about myself. I listened then it was time for repentance.
I received the word of correction: 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:1-8
Each individual knows when they are heading to a cliff experience. Bible believing, Bible studying, Bible doing Christians – know when God’s expectation are NOT met. Christians know the exact moment when commandments of the Lord, His instructions, and warnings from the His Word, are neglected.
We quote these scripture to others.
- 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:29-31
- Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14
- Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Psalm 37:34
This is my repentance point.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 1:22-25
I hope everyone reading this message prays. All praying people know the power of prayer mixed with God’s Word and faith. Praying is like striking a match to light a candle. The candle receives a light from the match – is ignited and lasts for hours. The match burned out quickly. The function of the candle is called “Endurance”.
Endurance refers to the ability to withstand hardship or adversity, maintaining faith and perseverance over time.

I have put two specific things before the Lord in prayer. With one request – I have been waiting almost thirty years. By now my flesh is talking to my spirit. The flesh is trying to take rulership and change my mind about God’s Word. I gave over to the flesh. Lord I repent.
I started making eating food my favorite thing to do – just eating for no reason. My obsession caused me to raid the kitchen for midnight snacks, take food to bed, and give in to craving. Lord you be glorified in my surrender!
Last night I noticed the weight gain. My body spread over the chair, my clothes don’t fit properly, and I feel miserable. I began to feel conviction and wanted to change my habits. I said, “Lord something has to change”.
This is what the Lord said.
Your faith is being tested. I AM stretching you to believe bigger and higher. I AM changing your dreams to things you do not expect or image. You have been looking at the little I can do – not the big I have in store for you. You have lowered your expectation of My perfect will for your life.
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:16-21
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye 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 ye gates; even lift them up, ye 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. Psalm 24:7-10
I keep telling My people a laborer is worthy of his hire. Have not you earned wages for everything you have done in the Kingdom of God? I AM going to pay what is right.
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Matthew 20:1-4
I AM even paying you for volunteer time that you did not calculate. I AM paying you for time of sleepless nights.
I AM paying you for forgiving people who hurt you. I AM paying you for loving people unconditionally.
Daughter you pay is in escrow. Interest is being tallied to your account. Your account shows “Profit and not Loss”.
I AM promoting you because of all the people who dismissed you – and said you did not stand in My name.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Matthew 5:11
I hear your utterances daughter. I hear when you pray. I AM reconciling your faith back to the cross.
You think your most valuable rewards only come in Heaven. I tell you your reward comes in “Trusting Me”.
People pray because they want things for themselves or want the Lord to show forth His mighty power. When our faith wavers it puts delays on God’s promises. If a person is double minded – that person need not expect anything from the Lord. Let God stretch and grow faith.
Father, in Jesus name – I repent of greed, yielding to the flesh, selfishness, wavering in faith and trust, and for not waiting on your perfect timing.
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:1-9
