SPIRITUAL TRUTH YOUR THOUGHT (SOUL) CONDITIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GOD

SPIRITUAL TRUTH YOUR THOUGHT (SOUL) CONDITION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GOD

I don't claim to have gone very far and have risen so high in ministry  but i can tell you, you need the grace for humility to survive what men can do to you when you are truly anointed.

There were many ways God brought  people to their knees to humble them.. Example,  Nebuchadnezzar was brought low like an animal for seven years. Herod the proud fell and died and maggots ate him..

Am saying this because God can give you an anointing and you will step into the world of many ignorant  people and sometimes the joy from looking like a celebrity , your business sky rocketing,  your life carrying all kinds of graces,  the Bible says "let it not be that when you have built houses, when your barns are filled with plenty,  that you will say my power has brought  me these. It says but thou shall remember,  that the Lord gave that ability.. Your ability  to remember the Lord is humility..

I have cried to God again and again and said "Lord what ever you will bring to my life that will make me forget that you gave it to me,  may I not have it.. May it never come. It's a prayer that I pray and will continue  to pray for the rest of my life.

Some of us really need to pray and say Lord purge me from pride..
Listen,
  there is nothing to be ashamed of, it has nothing  to do with you being bad..
Many of us,  you are like an arrow waiting to be lunched out with great anointing  but remember Jesus said

"If I be lifted up,  I will draw all men to myself"

And John said:" that I may decrease  that you may increase"
I remember  many years ago a dear man of God met me and said,  apostle with the level  of your grace, you need to stop underutilizing yourself,  you should do ABC.. I just said thank you..

listen
the anointing  and revelation is not the only thing that keeps you in ministry, some people exhuasts their revelations and don't know what else to preach in a year.. The excitement  of young ministers these days amazes me,  everyone is teaching and after a short time you have finished teaching from Genesis to revelation and don't know what else to preach. That is when they become stranded and wonder how someone can be in ministry for fifty years and still have something to say.

Pray and say
Father purge me
take away pride from me.
Give me a baptism of the grace for humility.
➡️In walking with God,  it is not just faith or your love for God that is required for you to receive from God,  ...

That before God will begin to do business  with man,  as far as a generation  is concerned,   and as far as impact is concerned, the heart condition  of that man must be veted by God.

There is a reason for what ever God does.. The Bible says God loved the world that he gave his only son... So we see the motive of the heart of God is love towards man..
So God will not just grant you access to his anointing, to influence, wealth and all kinds of graces just because you have faith... As important  as that is,  it is not enough... The heart condition of a believer Vitos your fasting and prayer,  ...THE HEART CONDITION  OF A MAN IS A BIG DEAL TO GOD.

YOur motive for asking matters.
Two people can pray the same prayer,  same fasting and strangely only one person seem to be getting results and you say,  but Lord am doing the same thing...? 😟..

Let me tell you, 🙂☝🏽...the heart condition  of a man is very deceptive by default.. Who ever believed that young innocent David could be a murderer?
What was in his heart found expression in one day...
So even as a Shepard boy,  that potential of murder was there .
➡️You see,  many times we think we are alright, and when we come into the presence of God and he begins to vet us, sometimes we are embarrassed  and almost think he is lying ..

It is God who knows the tendencies in our hearts..
And the way vulnerabilities work is when the opportunities and atmosphere have been created for their expression. Just because they have not been expressed does not mean they are not there..

So before God brings you to limelight, he begins to probe and work on you.So that your vulnerabilities will not destroy you and others.

Lord lift me..
Lord anoint me..
And he says,  there is no problem with that,  but let me work on your heart first.

There is the tendency for pride,  there is the tendency for flesh... And at that point it does not look like it,  ..

So sometimes you go to his presence crying and saying,  Lord what is a job that you cannot give me?

You are right.. It should surprise you why it is that hard..

Lord what is in lifting that you cannot lift me?
What is in prosperity that you cannot prosper me?

And God is saying:,

Son,  my not prospering  you sometimes is proof of my love for you.
I have tried you and have seen that this is the safest position I can find you..
Your heart is not purified enough  to allow an extension of your lifting...Anything after this realm will become for your destruction..
And God says, if you want to go further,  you will have to learn to wait,.. There is that circumcision that has to happen.

It's true!
➡️When you raise to a level of influence, your life style becomes a template for many whether right or wrong.. A man can be a mind controlled system personified when God raises him to a level of influence.

Listen to me,  not every level carries the same consequence.. it was because Vashti was in a position  of influence that attracted that kind of punishment  on her... The same punishment  would not have been given to another ordinary wife who was not the queen..

Every level does not carry the same consequence... This is why God trains men before he lifts them..
This is why God vets the heart condition of men.

There are levels you can do alot of things and get away with them but there are levels the implications will be beyond you..
So God says,  you want to move to another dimension? I need to work on your heart.

You would never believed that jealously  and envy could be found in you,  as far as you are concerned,  everyone speaks well of you..

I DONT TRUST MYSELF UNTIL I HEAR WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY ABOUT ME..

This is why the presence of God is powerful.. Because in his presence nothing is hidden..
You can stay there and like David say, " Lord search my heart.. And try my thoughts "...
Not search my throne, not search my palace... Search my heart.

Test my motives..
Because when you pray,  God searches your heart not your prayer.. Why do you want what you are asking for?
Motive is powerful.
