From church (8/10/2008):
Word
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the words of My mouth. I say hear Me, give ear this day. I would that all who are here would hear My voice and walk accordingly. Not considering what you should eat or drink, or what you should put on, but desiring to know My will for every situation. I tell you, the time comes quickly when signs and wonders will be before your very eyes, but you must desire that My Spirit lead you into all truth, showing you the things that are not as though they were. Who will judge all things by My Spirit, according to truth, that you may speak as I require it of you? I tell you again, there is nothing hidden from those who believe Me. All that you ask Me, I will give you and more for you walk by faith, not taking the words or approval of men into consideration. In this I am pleased for I have called you and you did answer, choosing to hear and know only My voice. To you who have chosen, I tell you I am your Shepherd and you shall not be in want. I give you all that you need and I see to it that you are fed daily. Continue to walk in righteousness, taking no thought for your own life, and I will pour out that your cup runs over. Have faith.
Word (given to a girl who visited our church)
I have called you and do draw you by My Spirit that you may receive all that I have for you, but I ask you, have you been obedient to all that I have put before you to do? Do you love Me more than this life and all of the things of the world? Of a truth I tell you that the world is at enmity against Me. Though I did not come to condemn the world, they are condemned already because, I, the Light came to the world but they love the darkness more than the light. Who will you serve? Choose Me and walk according to the leading of My Spirit and I will bless you, I will protect you and keep you from the judgment that is to come. But I tell you, those who choose to serve two masters (God and the world) will have not part with Me. You have seen the way for I have put laborers in your path. I tell you hear all that I tell them to speak to you and believe. Draw close while there is yet time. Come and receive life everlasting. In My presence is peace, fullness of joy, deliverance from all that binds you. I desire for you to be free. Choose this day who you will serve. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. Open the door and I will come in and sup with you. I am faithful.
Through a series of words that were spoken and a couple of us ministering to her, God's will for this girl's life was confirmed. After we ministered to her, a sister in the Lord asked her if she wanted to accept Jesus and we prayed with her for salvation. The faithfulness of another servant of God living her life as an example before God caused this person to see that God is real. The Spirit is bidding whosoever will to come and draw close while there is yet time. I thank the Lord for His faithfulness and for the opportunity to minister to those who need strength.
Love in Jesus,
Ryan

Amen Ryan,
There is no doubt that God is calling His people to walk a higher walk of understanding and truth in His Spirit. I pray we all have ears to hear and heed the call.
God Bless,
Tara
Amen Ryan.
We all, in times past, have suffered from a huge lack of self control. Sometimes it seems very difficult to "walk the walk", and get it right.
Talk ‘in the talk is easy, but that means nothing to God. We please God by; first, knowing His will, second, doing His will. Spotting those who talk the talk, but deny truth/reality, the Holy Spirit, from having access to their life is obvious, they cannot walk the walk. They cannot please God. Having compassion on them is easy, yet, friendship is not what they need. They need strong meat, not milk. They must see/understand a difference/truth and change their lives. We must have our senses exercised to discern both good and evil. So that, on some we can have compassion, making a difference, speaking the truth in love, and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
We must work the works of Him that sent us, while it is day: the night quickly comes, when no man can work. So, in making our callings and election sure, let our conversation be without covetousness. Be content with such things as we (physically) have, be zealous toward God. Be holy. Be perfect. Jesus said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me. God also bearing us witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will.
Yes, we have all heard it before, religious people use the same words, but it is what the Holy Spirit is saying to those who can hear. It is in the doing that we humble ourselves to the will of God. It is by faith
Revelation 3:18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Hear His voice, open the spiritual door.
