Godly Motives
We have entered a new realm in the Spirit, the higher we soar, the less want to go. Sacrifice is a bad word to them. They want the title and status, but unwilling to pay the price. Only a few will go with you, if any.
However, there are eagles preparing their nests, and also releasing some with feathers to go. Only those chosen will be willing to go.
Did you know you have to choose to be chosen? Will you pay the price? Some have thought that God does all the choosing. HE gives us the choice to be chosen.
Will you, by choice, be willing to go through the trials, suffering, accountability, responsibility, correction, praying, studying, and more?
There are those among us that see our seemingly success, but are not aware of what it took you to get there. These want what you have and act like they really want it.
If you continue to ask God to discern hearts, after awhile you will begin to see a chink in their deceptive armour. You see character issues peek out in view. Integrity, honesty, loyalty, to name a few, are some MAJOR character flaws. These especially, must be mastered for the true servant of God.
These fakes, if truly known, they have no prayer life or give time to study God’s word. They see what seems to them as glamour, glitz, and success. So instead of paying the price and the time involved, they simply begin to ride on your anointing.
They see this as the easy way out. They depend on the ministers gifts and mimic things they do. They believe it doesn’t take all that suffering and stuff to get to the goal. They are self deluded.
A good illustration: When you travel on the interstate, you can gain a lot of speed. Those big eighteen-wheeled 10/4 good ole buddy rigs pass you by, and as he passes by, there is a suction that pulls you along. You can get behind a big rig like that and follow them closely and be pulled along in that air trail suction with them. You go the same speed and get to the same destination. However, the vehicle behind benefits in getting better gas mileage, due to the suction!
I call these type of people, suckers. They suck the life flow of the ministers, and suck the vibrant life out of the the saints. Leader’s cannot allow this to go on.
There are people like that among us, who are jealous and envious who want what we have, and expect to ride along with us as long as it takes. They think if they are around you long enough they will eventually acquire your gifts and place. There is a price to pay for God’s anointing.
“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our LORD Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings….,” 1 Timothy 6:3-4.
These people who have wrong motives are among us, beloved. Personally, I have seen this happen several times and it always results in division and splits. They want the preeminence, and like Satan’s motive, to be like God, they want to be in charge in any authoritative position.
To handle things properly within the true church of God, there is order and submission to godly authority. That’s WISDOM!
Not everyone is a five fold minister and there are sheep, lambs, goats, wolves, and false prophets, false apostles, on down to false believers. Open rebuke is better than hidden love. Godly love confronts, rebukes, corrects etc. Why? To Love the flock and protect the true sheep, lambs and the vision.
God is a God of order, and within Biblical boundaries I see this order clearly. It isn’t some man-made religious order that is out of balance. When there is bondage, there is a religious spirit at work.
With true servants, they must make themselves accountable and responsible to authority. Lay hand’s suddenly on no man. Time does tell all. The process of time and waiting will weed out a lot, but there are some, how ever long it takes, they play the game.
What is sad is that these souls are truly self-deluded. I would say that 98% of the people don’t realize they are self deluded. However, I do know for a fact that Satanist do infiltrate churches to take over and destroy them, and this there are some very hurt and abused people out there, who have been made, the way they are.
However, we cannot allow their delusions to have their way. Once confronted, they can be delivered, and helped if they are repentive and truly surrender to God’s plan for things. However, the true servant of God must be disciplined, discipled and trained for ministry.
“I charge thee before God, and the LORD Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure,” 1 Timothy 5:21-22.
We must have a balanced view of things in the Church. The enemy wants into leadership and into our circle of laborers. He wants into our circle of warriors. We must be vigilant, watch and pray, be above reproach, professional, articulate and not slack. Bottom line….WE GOT TO DEAL WITH IT.
What we have is precious and we paid for it dearly. God is speaking this clearly and seriously. I understand prayer partners. I understand corporate prayers and fasting, but if there are people, or a person, who has invaded your life to the point when you don’t have your ALONE time with God anymore…. Watch out! Jezebel got ya.
Once she destroys you and your ministry, she leaves you for dead and to the wolves, as she scatters the flock. We need to knock that spirit out the window and let the dogs eat her nasty carcass.
We need to find that place again in God, where HE is your only Love…. FIRST LOVE. NO ONE takes that place.
Take time, not make time, to sit with HIM in innocence with child like faith, but get empowered and mad to take Gods wrath to where the battle is….,the enemy!
Many of you have had trouble waiting on God. You can’t just sit there, because a hundred things are going through your mind that you have to do. You have a mind with so many care’s. As you flee away, the LORD sigh’s, “Please don’t leave, please stay.”
If you are too busy with cares, too busy with ministry works, too busy to pray, you are too busy and you have lost your first love affair with Jesus our groom. He want’s to restore your innocence and love. He wants to heal you of ministry failures and of falling prey to Jezebel and other issue’s.
His timing is critical. He wants you to cry out, “I want you LORD, in charge of my life!” Oh how HE wants to renew HIS love affair with you in pure transparent glory….. Selah
In HIS Grace and Mercy,

“the true servant of God must be disciplined, discipled and trained for ministry.”
Amen!
There is nothing in the Word that says that someone shall do anything without the direct commandment (hearing from, and anointing) from God.
“…for I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Be coming, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it (and they does not go without having been commanded).
And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those following, `Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great faith (obedience) have I found,” Matthew 5:9-10.
