God speaks to those who desire obedience:
Living for me is living according to my word and my son’s leading, not yours. We are teaching and training up a new church, one that will hear us and obey. This new church is for the lionhearted not the fainthearted. It is for pioneers, not the old guard. Be new in Christ and new in living for him.
Do not care what the others say or how they judge you. The new freedom I am sending you in worship and joy is powerful and those who taste of my glory will understand. Those who are stuck in the old ways of man’s church traditions will fall away. Invite those you love to come along with us, but do not be surprised if they decline your invitation. Many who profess to be mine cannot hear me and do not know my son. They cannot follow who they cannot see and hear. Show them who we are. Teach Christ and his redemption through them confessing him to be their Lord.
Be with us now my children in all you say and do. Be in harmony and unity and surround yourselves with light and love. Others will see your love and the joy you manifest because of your faith and obedience. Obedience is not a bad word, or a hammer, but a loving submission to your God who is only good. Taste the sweet and eat the fat, for I have given them for your pleasure to bring my nourishment with joy and satisfaction.
Receive my word and direction in the same way. Expect the living words of my son to be sweet to your soul and rejoice as you obey him. His words are my words, for we are in harmony and he does only that which I have ordained. Obey me – the written word, obey Christ – the living word. Obey and be satisfied. For all we are and all we give are health to you; strength and joy.

A Word of Encouragement
Our God is looking for the lionhearted believers who are pioneers. He needs His children to rise up and choose to hear and obey now. This is the time to be confident in all He speaks to us and to enjoy His new freedom and worship. We are not to care what other believers say or to be dissuaded by their unbelief nor by their attraction to the old. WE ARE NEW IN CHRIST. Let’s run toward the blessings of God by obeying all and obeying quickly.
An Action Item
Hear and obey. Discard all that is old and let the old man, the old garments, the old church rules and old church doctrines fall away. Be only in God’s word and God’s will. Let’s clean up our time, homes, lives and travel light going forward into this new freedom. Freedom to worship and freedom to love all in our joy-filled lives. Praise God!
