Word
I would have you to be obedient to all that I speak to you. To be faithful in little that I may cause you to rule over much. The day comes quickly when My Spirit will no longer strive with man. And in that day, only those who have taken the time to hear My voice, only those who have received the baptism of My Holy Spirit and walk according to truth will be found worthy to stand.
A dark day comes. A day when no man can work but I tell you those who have been faithful in all that I have given them will be given more because they have chosen to be obedient to Me rather than men. They have kept their first love and for this I will keep them from the hour of temptation that is to come on all the earth. Be strong by My Spirit and hold nothing back. I speak to you that the church be edified and that My people would let their confidence be in Me alone. Those who trust in Me will never be ashamed for I will give them a new name and they will walk with Me both now and in the times to come. Let not doubt or unbelief keep you from entering in to all that I have put before you. I have not put within you a spirit of weakness but of power and strength.
Philippians 4:4-6
4Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
I just want to thank God for being faithful to us always. He truly knows what we have need of before we even ask. May God be glorified in us, everyday, and may His will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. His word does not return unto Him void.
With love in Him,
Ryan

Amen, Ryan.
Gee this scripture seems to be of some importance as of late... Praise God. People of God, die to your own understanding, have faith, and walk uprightly before Him. Seek first the kingdom and all shall be added unto you. Redeem the time, Let him that steals (our enemy) steal no more of it.

Amen Ryan.
So true. How many ways and how many times does God have to repeat the message? Come out and be separate. Be holy as I am holy. Be perfect. Be filled with the Spirit of God. Without faith, there is no pleasing God. Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight His path.
While the world is getting worse and worse, returning to as it was in the days of Noah, the Lord is doing a quick work. The Lord is purifying his temple, that's those who pray and worship in Spirit and in truth, that they will be found worthy. We are being tried in a fire, cleansed by the heat. All the impurities, all the iniquities, all doubts and fears removed by the flux of the Holy Spirit, who helps us with our infirmities. Then, it seems as though we go through the whole process again, becoming more pure by the refiners fire. We're being prepared to receive more so that when we see Him, we will be like Him. God is drawing out of all of his servants everything that takes up space in our lives, and that will leave more room for the oil, that we won't run out of it.
Don't be weary in well doing. Don't think anything is come upon you that it's not common to the chosen servants of the Most High. Don't turn back to the weaker and beggarly elements of man, but look forward to the prize of the high calling. The time is short, and Satan is trying to wear up the minds of the saints. But the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.

Amen Bud. It seems like this week has been tough for me, and God has been reminding me to just stay at peace and to keep our eyes fixed on him. We need to stay bold and keep waiting patiently in all things. We can't go back to the old man, as Dave pointed to above, but we need to love truth, and serve the most high.
There is strength and peace with our Lord and savior.
God bless, Chad
You know i am an old gal, according to my daughter, but you know your never to old to learn more of the Lord. I have to tell you that since I have been reading Brother Michael, and your blogs, I feel like I have grown, and I Praise God for that. I am here all by myself, flesh fellowship wise, but I have received so much encouragement and exhortation to get in line with God that I am just estatic I have to tell you.
