Many have been in the middle of a testing time though they may not have known it. God in all His wisdom has been testing our hearts.

 

Who will be faithful when it counts? Who can I trust to continue My legacy? Who has handled through trials the small things well so I can now give them enlarged things?

 

In our testing has been an unseen sifting. A sifting of those He will elevate to higher circumstances and deeper matters of trust with Heavens precious blueprints. Many have fought to keep on walking despite the onslaught of Hell that sought to silence and stop them. These will receive an unseen promotion from Christ to enter a promised land of new assignments. This, however, does not mean there won’t be battles. Remember, the promised land needed to be emptied of giant squatters already on the property. Please understand your promotion will include also more intense battles. Wherever much is given, much is also expected.

 

For some, sadly, has not been a resolve for Kingdom matters and the world has kept them lukewarm and lazy. A combination Jesus has no tolerance for.

So when promotion comes you’ll not advance in the spirit until you get lined up with Christ. Obedience has always been important to Christ.

 

We always are given a chance to turn things around through repentance. If we have not handled well the little things entrusted to us then we cannot be trusted with the bigger things that are coming through the Kingdom calendar.

 

I’ve found that Jesus tries to tell us in a million ways when we’ve not taken seriously His work through obedience. When we’ve gambled away His assignments. Then we seem surprised when He says we are unable to go yet to the place of promotion. We still must stay in the current testing place until we pass. Otherwise things can get real messy for us and others.

 

Severe shifts are coming and He is moving His people into place for the necessary hearts in need.

 

Listen, if you haven’t been faithful “here” you won’t be faithful “there.”

 

Usually we know the truth or either have an inner deception. I’ve found we often do less for Kingdom work than we would ever do for secular work. The proof is usually in the pudding.

 

When it comes to the Lord, there ought to be an excellence that shines through our hearts as we step into our place of work for Christ Jesus. If there is not, He will keep us where we need to be to teach us more. The world ought to be able to see the pride we take in doing the work of the Lord.

 

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters…
