BUT GOD GIVES THE INCREASE!
Word For Today: October 11, 2019: BUT GOD GIVES THE INCREASE!
My Beloved,
Why do you not yet understand what I am doing in building my house? Why do you not see the gifts I am trying to add to you are sent to be united with you in Me and not you?
I am sending you gifts to come along side of you to labor with me in what I desire to do upon the earth. These are sent ones to you for a divine purpose and plan.
Why would you try to “lord” over them? Why are you still “lording” over my people in the name of “leadership.” Can I teach you what value they are to Me and my purpose with you?
Why are you still the “main man or woman” instead of Me being seen in your midst? Why won’t you let go fully and trust Me to build my house?
Are you going to repeat the sins of your forefathers and bring my sheep to you, your church, your ministry instead of to Me and my Kingdom?
Why are you still front and center? Where are my people? Where is their place? Where are my babies, my young ones? Why don’t they have a place next to me. I didn’t put them away from me, but said, “let them come to me?
Why do you allow the enemy to bury them under the weight of your gift and calling or your idea of what my house looks like?
This grieves my heart and my spirit. I am not adding my sent ones to you for your purposes, but mine. Do you want to know what they are?
Why don’t you ask me? Why will you not let me speak to your heart of why I am rearranging the body parts to put them where I want them to be?
Are you going to kill them under the doctrine of the Nicolatians? Are you going to continue to “lord” instead of lead? Don’t confuse my mantle for you to build with a false mantle of lording?
Why do you still feel the need to put your hands on things when I want my hands on them? Why don’t you trust Me?
When you gather in my name, why are you still the central figure instead of me? Where is the functioning of my sheep in my presence? Where is their value?
Where is their function? Please don’t confuse your “efforts” with mine. Why are my people coming to “hear a GOOD WORD, instead of MEETING WITH ME. I AM THE WORD!
Yes, you may allow some people to say somethings, or use them to help you, but they are still “Under your control” that is formed in your heart and not mine? You still do not see their true value as I do and why I sent them to be with you?
Yes your gift is valuable! Yes it is even to lead! But is never to “lord” over anyone. You were commissioned to bring them to me so I can bring them to the Father and not to you.
Too many of my leaders are building what I am not building. They are doing what I am not doing. They are saying what I am not saying.
They are bringing my sheep away from me and unto them, their church vision, their ministry vision and not to me! The work is my work to do, why won’t you trust me and let it go?
I want my sheep to know me. I have said in my word, “My sheep, they hear my voice, and they know me, and I know them, and they follow ME, and the voice of the stranger they will not follow.”
My Love’s you have much more of the “religious ways” in you then you understand. I HATE THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLATIANS . I HATE IT. I hate a system that puts my leaders over my sheep to crush them under the weight of their calling and ministry.
I did not sent my sheep to you and even the gifts I need to add to you to help you build anything! Let us get this straight. I have sent them to be added to you so I can BUILD MY HOUSE!
DID YOU FORGET MY WORDS? Psalm 127 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.
Why do you not lay down your “title” your “idea of leadership is” for mine! I am the good shepherd, and I lay my life down for my sheep. Will you?
I must remove the old wineskin fully from your mind and understanding or you will build just another version of what I am not building.
I am establishing my kingdom upon the earth. I am not calling you to build anything that is not of my kingdom or it’s purposes.
If you still see leadership as you being the “center” of the universe, you will miss me. I am the center, for I AM THAT I AM!
How will you be able to allow me to build you into a wheel within a wheel when you have faulty understanding of how I build things? You put things in place. You put things in what you think is in order.
You put things in order by your rank and order and partial understanding of my Kingdom gifts and placement. This will lead to much confusion in my body if you don’t change your heart to understand what I am doing upon the earth.
I knit my body together in pure holy love. I cause my body parts to esteem the others better then themselves. I lead my body by washing my disciples feet. I lead my body by laying my life down for the sheep.
I lead my body by taking the lowest place, but the god of this world wants you to build by taking the highest place, the chief seat in my house.
When you gather together, does everyone have something? Do they have a song, a human, a doctrine, an utterance in tongues, an interpretation?
Have you taught them to all have something? Or are you the ONLY ONE THAT IS HAVE SOMETHING?
Do you teach my people to have a prophecy, a teaching, a word, a vision? Do two or three prophets able to speak in my gatherings? Or are you DOING ALL THE TALKING, ALL THE MINISTRY.
You say, I let others speak. You say, I let them do a few things, when your still in your heart YOU ARE CONTROLLING EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOU DON’T TRUST ME!
YES, MY LOVES’ YOU DON’T TRUST ME! YOU ARE AFRAID TO CORRECT, INSTRUCT AND TEACH MY PEOPLE TO FOLLOW MY FLOW FOR YOUR GATHERINGS. YOU ARE AFRAID TO LOOSE YOUR PLACE INSTEAD OF ALLOWING ME TO BE THE PLACE TO MEET WITH MY PEOPLE!
You have taught the people that your “message” is the high point of the gathering instead of finding me, seeing me, being with me, seeking me, and allowing me the freedom to do what I desire in your gatherings. You hold to the traditions of men more than you realize?
What If I chose not to use you at all in my gatherings? Who would I use? Who would I flow through? Would you even ask me who I wanted to use? Would you even ask me what I want? If I didn’t tell you ahead of time, would you wait upon me to show you, teach you, guide you and my people?
Why is your part more valuable then any other part? Why you do you confuse your gifting with leadership. It is not your gift that makes you a leader, it is my spirit able to flow through you as I will that makes you a leader.
You still are making factions. You still are making head of parties? Who has bewitched you? You are teaching my people to follow a gift instead of the gift giver. This is the spirit of religion that “tries to lord” over my people and bury them in my own house?
If you can’t see the gifts I have already given you to labor with me, how will you treat the new gifts of the 5 fold ministry I must add to you and you to them? Would you see them sent to “help you” instead of being knitted together with them for my purposes and not yours?
I am bringing a fundamental change in my house! My glory is to be seen and it shall be seen upon my people. Will you let me change you? Will you let me give you true Kingdom understanding?
My Love’s, will you let go and let me build my house? Will you see the body parts as I do? Will you understand that you are not to be the head, I AM, says the Lord!
Will you get out of the way for me to work in my house? Will you let me lead you, guide you, and direct you as I desire to do so?
You can’t put new wine in an old wineskin. It is time to bury the old wineskin of “religious leadershIp” away, and put on my kingdom understanding of what true leadership will be and what they will do.
John the Baptist showed you the way, “I must decrease and He must increase!”
I need you to hear me says the Lord. I am about to do the greatest work of finishing my house upon the earth. I need you in tune with me.
I need you aligned with my heart, purposes and plans. Your ways are not my ways and your thoughts are not my thoughts!
I must teach you how to lay your “leadership” gift at my feet so you don’t abuse it or my people as they did in the past church age. I must teach you to lead by becoming broken bread and poured out wine.
I must teach you to lead by lifting my body up to be what I created them to be. I didn’t call them to “build your vision.” I called them with you to become “my vision” upon the earth.
My Love’s, I want to remind you of my words when the church at Corinth was regarding men and their gifts over me. I had my servant Paul correct their thinking to get their eyes off of men’s leadership, men’s ministry to see Me and the establishment of my Kingdom true order.
1st Corinthians 3 1 “However, brothers and sisters, I could not talk to you as to spiritual people, but [only] as to [a]worldly people [dominated by human nature], mere infants [in the new life] in Christ!
2 I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Even now you are still not ready.
3 You are still [b]worldly [controlled by ordinary impulses, the sinful capacity]. For as long as there is jealousy and strife and discord among you, are you not [c]unspiritual, and are you not walking like ordinary men [unchanged by faith]?
4 For when one of you says, “I am [a disciple] of Paul,” and another, “I am [a disciple] of Apollos,” are you not [proving yourselves unchanged, just] ordinary people?
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Just servants through whom you believed [in Christ], even as the Lord appointed to each his task.
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God [all the while] was causing the growth.
7 So neither is the one who plants nor the one who waters anything, but [only] God who causes the growth.
8 He who plants and he who waters are one [in importance and esteem, working toward the same purpose]; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers [His servants working together]; you are God’s cultivated field [His garden, His vineyard], God’s building.
10 According to the [remarkable] grace of God which was given to me [to prepare me for my task], like a skillful master builder I laid a foundation, and now another is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it,
11 for no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13 each one’s work will be clearly shown [for what it is]; for the day [of judgment] will disclose it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality and character and worth of each person’s work.
14 If any person’s work which he has built [on this foundation, that is, any outcome of his effort] remains [and survives this test], he will receive a reward.
15 But if any person’s work is burned up [by the test], he will suffer the loss [of his reward]; yet he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has barely escaped] through fire.
16 [d]Do you not know and understand that you [the church] are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you [collectively and individually]?
17 If anyone destroys the temple of God [corrupting it with false doctrine], God will destroy the destroyer; for the temple of God is holy (sacred), and that is what you are.
Beloved Ones, Do you hear me? Do you see the grieving I have in my spirit of what you may be building and not in my pure holy love?
My servant said, What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Just (ministering) servants through whom you believed [in Christ], even as the Lord appointed to each his task. I planted, Apollos watered, but God [all the while] GOD GAVE THE INCREASE AND CAUSED IT TO GROW!
How will you love the new gifts I am knitting you with if you can’t understand why I am sending them to you. If you can’t see I am sending them to be knitted together with you in me and for my purposes what can you really build?
How can you build anything with Me if you don’t understand that PAUL SAID, I PLANTED, AND APOLLOS WATERED BUT GOD GAVE THE INCREASE!
This is what I desire you to see and understand today the power of BUT GOD GIVES THE INCREASE! MY KINGDOM IS AN EVER INCREASING KINGDOM!
Will you lay your lives down for each other as I arrange the Body Parts as I will? Will you see each other from your vantage point or mine? Will you love each other for your “ministry need” or mine?
Please hear my words to you, “So neither is the one who plants nor the one who waters anything, but [only] God who causes the growth.
Why would you consider your title, your place, to be greater then Me? Why would you consider your gift to lead to be greater then the ones I must knit you with? Would you decrease and make a place for them even as I did for you?
Beloved, He who plants and he who waters are one [in importance and esteem, working toward the same purpose]; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Do you understand my words beloved? He who plants and he who waters is OF THE SAME IMPORTANCE AND ESTEEM, WORKING TOWARD THE SAME PURPOSE!
How will you esteem those I need to connect you with now, if you still see your leadership from a “religious system leadership” under the doctrine of the Nicolatians and not my kingdom perspective?
Who will be closet to you, those I sent to you many years ago out of allegiance ? Or will you be able to see I may add someone new to you to be connected in even a deeper intimacy of my heart with you?
Beloved, this is heart or what I am building. This is what must come forth as I form my wheel within a wheel upon the earth.
Again, hear my words to you, 9 For we are God’s fellow workers [His servants working together]; you are God’s cultivated field [His garden, His vineyard], God’s building.
10 According to the [remarkable] grace of God which was given to me [to prepare me for my task], like a skillful master builder I laid a foundation, and now another is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it,
11 for no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13 each one’s work will be clearly shown [for what it is]; for the day [of judgment] will disclose it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality and character and worth of each person’s work.
14 If any person’s work which he has built [on this foundation, that is, any outcome of his effort] remains [and survives this test], he will receive a reward.
15 But if any person’s work is burned up [by the test], he will suffer the loss [of his reward]; yet he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has barely escaped] through fire.
16 [d]Do you not know and understand that you [the church] are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you [collectively and individually]?
17 If anyone destroys the temple of God [corrupting it with false doctrine], God will destroy the destroyer; for the temple of God is holy (sacred), and that is what you are.
Do you see my loves? My true leaders are foundational stones that “GO UNDERNEATH MY BODY, NOT ON TOP OF THEM. THEY ARE PLACED NEXT TO ME TO LIFT UP MY CHURCH NOT LORD OVER THEM!"
My five fold gifts only function in my kingdom operation when they are laid next to me so I can build my church. For their gifts are to BE UNITED WITH ME TO LIFT UP MY BODY TO KNOW ME, SEE ME, DESIRE ME, MATURE IN ME FOR THEMSELVES FOR MY PURPOSES AND NOT YOURS!
For I have said, “that you are coming to me the Lively stone, and you yourselves as “living stones” are to be built up into a spiritual house, a royal priesthood and a holy nation that will show forth the praise of Me that has called you out of darkness into My glorious light.”
My Loves, my leaders, will you let go? Will you move aside for me to be in the center of your midst?
Will you allow me to have true headship over you, your work, your church, your ministry?
Are you going to keep bringing them to “your great message” “your great work, your great ministry, or will you bring them to Me, THE GREAT MESSENGER, THE I AM THAT I AM?
I am saying this to you so you learn to build upon and with Me, the true foundation correctly. I want you to receive the reward that your life is supposed to bring forth in eternity.
I don’t want your life to burn up in the day of my fire? I don’t want your works, your labors you are doing for me, burn up in the fire as wood, hay or stubble?
Do you want to see my Kingdom manifest upon the earth? Do you want to see my Kingdom people arising upon the earth as full grown sons and daughters?
Then let me establish my Kingdom fully IN YOU! Then you can lead them to Me. Then you can disciple them in Me! Then you can bring them up, raise them up with me, to be all I created them to be.
It is time for you to build as I build. No more will I allow my sheep to be buried under a “religious system of leaders” that “lord over them” with their gifts and calling instead of getting underneath them to be what I created them to be.
Remember my beloved ones, THEY ARE NOT YOUR SHEEP. THEY ARE MINE. YOU DO NOT OWN THEM, I OWN THEM BECAUSE I PURCHASED THEM WITH MY OWN BLOOD.
LET GO..LET GO...LET GO... AND UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH!
