Get ready to clean up !

" All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
“ Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,

Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,

Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”"

Revelation 7 : 11-12 (New King James Version)


The Lord placed these three words in my heart while I was sleeping "Heart", "Mud" , "Dig". And I was like "Lord what does that mean?" And this is what I learnt ... Our hearts like mud are where the Lord plants His word...Now while the Lord is working within us , we need to understand that a lot of digging,tilling gets done...and its not always a pleasant experience.....all stones need to get thrown out , all weeds need to be uprooted , and then only the seeds can be sown. We may not realize that the Lord is working for our good...but the Lord is telling us today ...He is in the process of refining and purifying us... So lets not grumble !!

Now we need to understand that there is a period where nothing gets seen until what is sown sprouts above the surface. That doesnt mean nothing is happening. Lets be patient

Now even as we begin to grow that doesnt mean we are free from anything going wrong...Weeds still come up...the ground still needs to be watered...certain areas will still require tilling and digging .... Its a continous process... Lets never get to a stage where we think we are can stand on our strength or that we have grown enough and dont need the Lord's correction upon our lives...

Here are some of the stones and weeds that the Lord specifically wants me to share today ...

-->Ungratefulness
-->Idle words of our mouth that speak curses,condemnation upon ourselves and those around us
-->Judging others and thinking we know whats right and who's who ...
-->Relying on our own wisdom, understanding and strength
-->Seeking self praise and glory for ourselves !


We read in Revelation 7:11-12 that the very theme of heaven is acknowledging the sovreignty of our God !
That all
--> Blessing
-->Glory
-->Wisdom
-->Thanksgiving
-->Honor
-->Might
-->Power
be to our God forever and ever ! Lets not touch what belongs to God ! Lets not be so full of ourselves that we forget who God truly is ! He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords ! He is the Alpha and the Omega ! The first and the last !

Lets surrender to the Lord so that all stones and weeds of self wisdom , seeking self glory,.ungratefulness be dug out and uprooted.. When God blesses us that we dont think that its because of our might ,power or strength....

Lets pray that we remember "Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen."

God Bless
