“Never compromise what I’ve called you to do! Never allow others to deter your calling with their carnal wisdom and street logic. I have trained you for a specific mission. There is purpose for your life. Others have not heard what you have heard from Our time together. Others have not been through the refiner’s fires you have endured and from which you’ve benefited.

"Walk with My counsel. Join with others who are moving in the same direction in which you have been called to go, but never allow them to change your course. Seek wise counsel, yes; but the final approval of your life will come from Our time together. Rely on My Word. Rely on the wisdom I have given you. You are called and anointed to a specific task. Your life is important! Let’s move and have Our being together!”

Acts 15: 36-40 AMP 

36) And after some time Paul said to Barnabas, Come, let us go back and again visit and help and minister to the brethren in every town where we made known the message of the Lord, and see how they are getting along.

37) Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark [his near relative].

38) But Paul did not think it best to have along with them the one who had quit and deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them to the work.

39) And there followed a sharp disagreement between them, so that they separated from each other, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

40) But Paul selected Silas and set out, being commended by the brethren to the grace (the favor and mercy) of the Lord.

Acts 21:13 AMP

Then Paul replied, What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart like this? For I hold myself in readiness not only to be arrested and bound and imprisoned at Jerusalem, but also [even] to die for the name of the Lord Jesus.

 

Obedience is big to Father God. An obedient Christian is developed over time through direct contact with the Lord, allowing Him to change the rebellion in each of our hearts. As He refines us, He also defines our lives. Each of us is tailor-made to live a specific life, which is ordained by God Himself and accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit. To have someone, who hasn’t heard what you’ve heard and hasn’t paid the price that you’ve paid in prayer, try to modify what you’ve been called to do is a violation of the trust the Lord has placed in you. It’s an attempt to redefine the life the Father has called you to live.

It is very important to find trusted friends who understand who you are in Christ and are dedicated to always speaking truth to you, so that you can keep your direction in life in line with the Word of God. However, you are the only one who will answer for your life when you come face to face with the Lord. He has the final say in either calling your life significant or lighting the bonfire that contains the wood, hay, and stubble you’ve presented to Him.

Your way, not my way, Lord,

“I know that you have heard this many times before, but I really am your answer. Whatever your question might be, the answer is still the same. Through Jesus, you have unlimited access to Me. Whenever you come to Me, I impart more of Myself to you. My nature is grace. My nature is mercy. Come to Me. I will give you what will fulfill your every need and answer every question you have. I love you.”

Ps. 120:1 AMP 

IN MY distress I cried to the Lord, and He answered me.

Romans 3:22 NIV 

This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.

II Cor. 1:3-4 AMP 

3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement),

4) Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction), so that we may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted (consoled and encouraged) by God.

 

For thousands of years, the world was crying out for relief from their bondages; God gave them Jesus. He imparted His very nature as every answer to every question and need people had. He still answers all our requests in the same way. Once we understand that all of our fulfillment, all of our hope, and everything we need to fill any void we will ever have is in Christ, we will be free.

Jesus, we couldn’t make it without You!

“In the coming times I ask you to seek out what I am doing in the secret places. It is not a place for the carnal follower of Jesus. I will share the deep places of My heart only with those who have proven themselves trustworthy over time. Prepare for many changes that lie ahead. Resolve in your hearts to make Me your priority or you will find yourself incapable of properly dealing with situations that come your way. You need to find My heart.”

Exodus 33:13-16 NIV

13) “If I have found favor in your eyes, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”

14) The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15) Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.

16) How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

Psalm 25:12 NIV 

Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

Psalm 111:2 NIV 

Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Luke 12:1 NIV

Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.”

 

I am convinced that the Lord is removing the yeast of the Pharisees from His people. He is intense in His desire to bring us into a renewed relationship of absolute truth for those who will submit to His hand of training.

In these coming times, the only place to be is on His lap, listening to His heart, and implementing His wishes after deep communion with Him. Religious games are a thing of the past. I am convinced He will use only those who commit to deep communion with Him. Any other actions we take will be tainted with our fleshly desires and will show those around us how powerless our empty religious activities really are.

Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me, Lord,
