From God
My Kingdom exists amongst the
weeds. Even though My Kingdom will exist for all ages to come, it
is for now growing amongst the weeds. Do you understand that? Due
to the Fall, it is the way that it has to be for now. But My wish
for you is to grow stronger than the weeds surrounding you. My wish
for you is to outgrow them and to stand tall as the harvest I am
coming for. I long for My people to tower over the evil of this
world. I want you to loosen yourselves from the grip of the weeds
trying to smother you. Shake off their influence and rather draw
nutrition from the fertile ground you are standing on.
I came to provide you with all the
nutrition you need. Never drink in anything the weeds feed on, but
rather nourish yourself through the faithful Word of God. Only
through taking in your daily bread and spending time in My
presence, can you outgrow the weeds around you. Only through being
spiritually minded, can you expel all things carnal in your
life.
Spiritual weeds are just like
ordinary weeds. They try and steal your nutrition, they try to take
over your life, they try to strangle your life from you and they
will trample over you in order to take the shine. Don't allow them
to do that. I have given you every spiritual tool there is to fight
them. Put on your body armour of righteousness, your helmet of
salvation, your belt of truth and your shoes of peace. Take up your
shield of faith and arm yourself with the Word as your sword. Give
My Spirit free reign and stand up as the spiritual giant that you
are.
Don't allow the weeds to get their
tentacles around you, but cut them off in My Name and with My Word.
Stand firm in who you are in Me. Proclaim the truth that you are
spoken for and part of My Kingdom. Go out and act righteously in
all your dealings, have revelation knowledge that you are saved,
live close to Me, the Prince of Peace and proclaim your faith in
Me, despite seemingly desperate situations. Take up your sword and
sever the roots of the weeds and their deathly tentacles trying to
lure you in.
I am in control; My Kingdom WILL
grow into the biggest tree of all, expanding the whole earth. My
Kingdom is the rock that smashed the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's
dream. That rock will become a mighty mountain covering the whole
earth. But for now, My Kingdom lives within your heart already. It
might be small now, like a mustard seed, but the principles and the
truths about My Kingdom are yes and amen! True and mighty already,
equipped to change this world for the better.
In My Kingdom there is joy and
laughter, in My Kingdom there is healing and praise, in My Kingdom
love overflows in abundance to all. My Kingdom is where you belong.
Live in the reality of that now already. Claim all the promises for
yourself and walk with your head held high, as the royal son of God
that you are.
Live in the spiritual manifestation
of My Kingdom on earth and keep the weeds out. Keep Satan at a
distance and don't allow him to influence you through alluring
whispers. You are part of something wonderful. Pray that you
receive My Spirit of wisdom and revelation and grow in your
knowledge of Me. Then you will start to experience My Kingdom
amongst the weeds and you will start to grow out above it all,
where the Son will shine on you, giving you the strength you need
to grow in power and in stature. You are Mine forever and ever.
Look forward to our wedding
reception, the age is drawing to a close. One day soon the rock
will be loosened by the hand of My Father and you will see the evil
nations of this world smashed to pieces and all that will remain is
you, living close to Me in My Kingdom, with the evil cry of this
world a distant memory.
Place your hope in Me, strive to
live for My Kingdom. At the end of the day My Kingdom is all that
matters, nothing is as valuable as that. I long that you will
understand that, digest that, and start living for that today. I
died to give you the freedom to choose. Internalise that and start
walking in the truth of it all. I am right beside you, every day
drawing closer and closer until the day that we are literally hand
in hand, breathing the same air, experiencing a better day.
Ponder this:
- What are the weeds in your life hindering your spiritual
growth? Is it drinking too much, is it participating in grey areas
at work, is it lustful relationships, is it gossiping, is it
gambling, is it wrong friends, is it watching the wrong kind of
movies? Or is it simply by making something in your life your idol?
Write these areas down.
- How do you plan to eliminate these weeds from your life?
- What do you think is true of the Kingdom of God?
- Write down how that will influence your life today. You are
already part of His Kingdom, and therefore the truths of the
Kingdom apply already. Write down the impact this revelation will
have on you.
