Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ speaks prophecy to his Church:

How do I elevate you my people? Do I shower you with many gifts of wealth and position, yes sometimes. Do you work and earn new titles and claim success in the things of the world? Yes, your efforts and talents are required to thrive upon the earth. But what of spiritual elevation? You are placed in the spiritual environment and in the positions I have given you in my Church of Grace today because of my leading and desires, and your obedience. I say who will rule and reign in my church and you who are obedient will be given new and great responsibilities.

Today is the day of your recompense and repayment for faithful service in my Church. As the Head of the Body, I have planned and prepared for this time of rejoicing. Many in the world are living by their own agendas. Many of my people, who are lost in the ways of the world are NOT following me nor my leading. You who can hear are in the will of our Father God and are doing as I lead you today. Continue to listen to us and continue to hear and obey, for the time is short. Turn to me now and come up higher.

What are your goals in this life? Take some time and stop reading and write them down now. Some would say to live by the golden rule, be a good citizen, speak and live according to the laws of the country or state I reside in, or to live well and retire in peace. These are reasonable goals if your only life was the one you have here on the earth, but this is not so for my brethren. This life is the beginning of our eternal lives together. This is the time when many will receive the spirit of the true God and everlasting life. The true way and the true life you have is in the spiritual realm and by walking in the spirit. The things of this world are temporal and will vanish as dust. Put your faith in me your Lord Christ, and follow after the things of the spirit. I will elevate you, I will position you in the highest places and I will lead you to the heart of our Father. Let me show you the way up to Him who is the only wise God and Father of life.

Today’s Written Word

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 12:26 “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

John 14:10-13

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

I Timothy 6:17-19

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high- minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Hebrews 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

A Word of Encouragement

What are our goals in life, for our whole life or even for today? What are we spending our time and efforts and words on? Do we focus on our spiritual goals throughout our days and years, or are we distracted by the cares and responsibilities of this world? Many good questions were asked by our Lord and Christ. Our true identity is in him and our longest and most important relationships and positions are those as a child of the most high God. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our big brother in the family of God. He leads and directs us so we can be well pleasing and glorify our Father in all we do.

An Action Item

Let’s come before our spiritual leader of the Church today, our Lord Jesus Christ, and ask of him what he would have us do to be well pleasing in God’s sight. What can we each do today to glorify our Father in heaven? He is the Head of the Church of Grace, appointed by our God to lead and speak so we can accomplish all as God has directed him to do, and us through him. Acts 4:11, I Corinthians 11:3, Ephesians 1:22, 4:15. Let’s ask Christ to lead us today and let us DO as he instructs so we can come up higher. He is the way up!

Victories and Blessings

A great study was enjoyed on “what is speaking in kinds of tongues” this week. One of the points that stood out was that it is not only one of the manifestations or evident confirmations of holy spirit being in a person, but it is the way to build up and edify our holy spirit within. Let’s speak in tongues more and more and build up ourselves to be spiritually strong. Great teaching! Jude 20, I Corinth. 14:4.

Please share some of your victories, blessings and prayer requests so others can rejoice and believe with you.
