Vishaal Behl Gods word…….Liked these words ,so thought of sharing them.
Thus saith the Lord: Any path of your choosing would dry up and diminish
and die. And you’ll find that as you walk out on your own path—you’ve
concocted in your mind a thing and you’ve seen that and walked after it—it’s a
type of idolatry because you never came and asked Me about it. And you
didn’t bow to My Lordship and say, Lord, what would you have me to do?
Lord, what is my next step? Lord, how would you guide me and what would
you tell me to do?
Now, if you will do that, I’ll show you a path that will burn so brightly that
you’ll be ecstatic in your heart and in your life and everything will flourish
for you. Everything will come alive and be wonderous, be opened to you,
and I will open My heavens and put My hand of blessing upon you.
But when you concoct your own plan with your own mind, just know this. As
you walk on that path, it will get narrower and narrower. It will shrivel
and die. Things around you will look so skimpy and withered, and you’ll
marvel at how small your soul will get. For your soul, instead of
increasing on the plan and path of disobedience, your soul will get smaller and
smaller and smaller until you feel like you’re withering away.
And then you’ll finally turn back to Me and say, O Lord, I was so wrong.
Please, Lord, accept my apology. I ask again for Your path, for Your
ways. It will crucify me, Lord, and that’s the very point. For you
must die and you must decrease so that I can increase within you. For My
increase within you is a great thing. It’s a mighty thing because then as
we walk together on this earth, it’s not you doing the doing. You’re not
alone. I’m your Partner. But if you leave your Partner behind and
go off on your own thing, your Partner, Godly as He is, will not follow you on
your own path. He will not go into disobedience and rebellion with you,
so you are alone.
Oh yes, I’ll always be your Savior and I’ll reach out My hand and pluck you
from that place when you learn and turn and say, Lord, not my will but
Yours. These are the lessons learned by costly experience where you will
learn the fear of the Lord, and you will learn to die to self and to pick up
your cross and follow after Me. Each one of My children will go through
this kind of pruning. Do not think you’re alone. Each great man and
woman of God has experienced the pruning of the Lord found in My word, John 15,
where I come and prune that which has no life. I take off those branches
that don’t produce life, and they’re thrown aside so that you might produce
more life.
So just know, I’ll be pruning. I’ll be working to make you an eternal
glory and credit to My Name, and it will not be self-will that will ever get
glorified. Just know that. It will be My Will that I’ll add My
Blessing and that I will glorify in the earth in you and through you, to you
and for you. My Will in you shall be greatly exalted and glorified, and
then you’ll go forth in the earth as a mighty one because you’re walking out My
Will.
Just know when you get to that end of that dead end, just know that it’s Me and
I’m saying to you: Are you ready to come back, child? And then you
and I will together walk back to where you left off, and we’ll get started
again, says the Lord. Amen !
Be
blessed.
