Trusting Trust
Sitting quietly and alone one Sunday
morning waiting for worship to start, I began watching people arrange
themselves within the sanctuary where I was sitting at church. As worship music played softly, I closed my
eyes and began drawing my thoughts to my Lord, desiring His presence to
surround us that morning. Instead, my
thoughts caressed those in countries where the chaos and hostility of
aggressive, terrorizing war kept them in anguish—those who could not sit in
such fine surroundings to worship or have the trust of His comforting
presence. Pondering such thoughts, I
wondered whether the
My Child

A whirlwind is moving toward My
church. You must have a greater trusting trust in Me
for I Am within that wind. As I move, I gather up everything in My path. I Am casting away all as debris that is not of My
Spirit. Where I have been, My path of destruction is
wide but I Am moving in power to overcome sin. You must not move away from the
flying debris, but become part of the whirlwind. As My winds of end-time move
across all lands, picking up all that is not of Me; I
spew off the indulgence (as debris) from My church. Everything unrighteous will be removed from
My Holy Presence. Accept where I have placed you within the wind, My trusting child, for what you are sensing within you is: spirit cannot stand with flesh! Casting off in violence the halfhearted trust
in religious activity, My Bride will be looking for Me
and be clothed with My depth of trusting trust after the storm. ~
The wind of repentance
is moving toward each one in God’s end-time church. Do you really trust God
Almighty deeply enough to go through the violent wind of correction? Do you
sense God moving you into new territory? Do you see preparation being made to
harvest your promises from years of training and building yourself up
spiritually? Before completion of what began years ago when your heart was
opened to His Spirit of truth, that place in your heart must have His total
ownership once and for all. You must
settle within your own heart to have His trusting trust in your life. For trust to be perfected (mature), He calls
us into much needed time with Him, “… and
Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled
about many things but one thing is needed and Mary has chosen that good part
which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:41-42).
As the days grow
darker and more hard-pressed in our world, God’s true church will be
persecuted, tested and tried. We must
allow the cleansing waters of the Spirit to wash and flow through us, the fire
of God to purge and strengthen us, and the violent wind of His Spirit to shake
us to change. Preparing for this change,
we develop bolder trust in the One who never changes or panics. Spending more
quality time, the Holy Spirit changes our hearts and is in all control. Then we
take responsibility for our own lives.
Re-adjusting priorities of our time, we find and fulfill God’s purpose. As Proverbs declares: “…
trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Standing strong in the
power of
It is the over-comer
looking for
How often we stand in
the awesome washing and consuming fire of God Almighty in church services. Many
come and allow Him to wash or burn away wrong priorities in their lives. “For it
is time for judgment to begin with the family of God...” (1
Let us listen
carefully to what the Spirit is saying to the church. Let us not compromise with the world and
resemble only religious activity, but let us become those true servants of God who trust with a trusting trust, ‘and would hurry to our place of shelter far
from the tempest and storm’ (Psalm 55:8). Let us be shaken and cleansed by the wind of
repentance in order to stand in these final days of HIS church.
