Cease Not From Praying

Today when I was seeking the Lord, He gave me this. When I was considering what to do with it, He said to write it, even as He has spoken it:

Have faith. The darkness comes but you will stand strong. I will light the path before you and My glory will be your rear guard. Cease not from praying, My son, and I tell you speak to all who have ears to hear saying: 'Slumber not but rather walk in righteousness. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without redeeming the times. Be holy as I am holy for only those who are obedient in this, only those who do not think it robbery to stand in the place I have called them to stand in, will have strength. Judge all things by My Spirit and discern always between good and evil. Endure the trials that you are now facing for those that endure, even unto the end, will be given a crown of life. Hold fast to sound doctrine, judging every word by the Spirit of truth.

I desire for you to come higher My people. To seek My face daily that I may reveal Myself to you in greater measure. Seek wisdom and understanding that none of these things be hidden from you.

The Lord also gave me John 11, and as I read, there were a couple of scriptures, specifically, that stirred me. When I was considering what the Lord was showing me while reading, the Lord spoke:

John 11:21-22
²¹Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ²²But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

Know you not that you have the same authority? That the Father loves you even as He loves Me? I say, anything you shall ask in My name, it will be given to you, even according to His will. Have faith. Love truth. Hold Me to My word, that you may see the captives set free and the sick healed. That those who are dead may believe on Me and have everlasting life.

John 11:25-26
²⁵Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: ²⁶And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

My ways are higher than your ways, but I tell you, you have the mind of Christ. My Spirit dwells in you therefore is nothing I have kept from you. Walk in obedience always and remember that you are not your own.

People are looking to be fed, but I tell you let them know that I am the same yesterday, today and forever and even as I fed the Israelites with food from on high, I tell you I will feed you. Man cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of My mouth. Come to me and eat of your daily bread for I know what you have need of before you even ask.

The Lord is clearly speaking to all of us to draw closer to Him, to realize what He has called us to and to not think it robbery to be like Him. There will be some who hear this and think it blasphemous to say that we could ever be like Him. And then there will be those who love the truth of God, who hear the call, and understand that all who have been called to stand in these times will have no other choice but to put on Christ. None should desire to be greater than the Master, for in that is pride and pride always comes before the fall. None should desire to lord over God's people. Again, pride and then the fall (their end is death). But if you have ears to hear, hear it this day, and believe that you can be as the Master. Clothed in righteousness (His righteousness, ours is as filthy rags). Meek and lowly (even as Jesus said to be). A servant of others (God humbled Himself before men, and made Himself a servant that some might believe on Him and be set free from the law of sin and death). Let us all go boldly unto the throne of grace, have faith, and believe all that God has spoken to us. He not only asks it of us, it is what is required of those who desire to be used by God in these times. God doesn't change.

God give us all ears to hear,
