Upon arriving at work two weeks ago, I was seeking the Lord for what he was saying to me to me that day. I recieved this word, and although short and quite personal concerning my walk, I considered posting it for its timelyness (if thats how you spell it).
Do not go back to the things I have taken from you. I have done this for a purpose, it will hold you back if you do (go back). Press in, put on the garment unspotted by the flesh. In times past I have looked away from your iniquities, but no more. You have been given the gifts you've been given for a reason. Your end is not for death but life eternal. Come Close.
Understanding:
The Lord was very short and to the point with me. Easily read, easily understood. Undoubtetly God has taken things from all of us, things unprofitable and things that will hold us back (Burn what you used to bury). In this time we cannot go back to them or who knows what we could miss out on. Also as Judgement begins in the House of The Lord we are under a greater responsibility with greater consequences. Where God used to wink he will now stare. The rest is simple and the end all encompassing, Come Close.
God Bless,
Alex

Good word Alex.
How timely and true. Now is the season to die to self and aquire all that God has for us. Tomorrow seems a long way off to some. Those who live in the stirring you (and many, myself included) are feeling it appears knocking at the door even now.

Amen, Alex.
'Burn what you used to bury." This is very true.
If we do not burn all that does not edify us, all that causes us to be reminded of the flesh, the day will come when the Lord will cause those things to be burned, along with our works, and even ourselves (judgment).
If we do not willfully give up all that He has taken from us, though we may be saved (some may not), we will have no fruit and God will judge us as He would judge those who obey not the gospel of Christ. We must be perfect in the eyes of God (not in the eyes of the world). Those who will serve Him with all that they are and stand in the days to come do not have a choice.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless,

Hi Alex, I think this is a word for all who are serious about going deeper in the Lord, and who need to be standing firm in these perilous times. No soldier training for warfare gets tangled in civillian affairs. Also, if we return to that which we have left, we are counted among the transgressors. Press on, brother.
God Bless,
Bonny
