Excerpt from Bro Warnock's book Beauty for Ashes Journey
of the Bride CHAPTER 6 - A BRIDE FOR THE LAST ADAM
We pray, "Lord, make us channels… just channels of
blessing to others..." And this is good: but God is
really after much more than that. He desires to so endow
us with His own life and nature and character that we
become like Him, and yet different. Not to become another
Jesus, or another God. But in being like Him we are
totally dependent upon Him. Like Him so much that we are
"bone of His bone, and flesh of His flesh." Not just a
puppet easily manipulated to do His will. Not just a pipe
through which His blessing might flow. But another
person, another personality... walking in such union with
the Christ that the same law of life that functions in
the Head, functions also in the Body: even "the Law of
the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus" (Rom. 8:2). As the
Spirit would speak, so we speak. As the Spirit would
work, so we work. He thinks this way, so we think this
way. The apostle said, "It seemed good to the Holy Ghost
and to us" (Acts 15:28). Presumptuous, is it, to say
that, "It seemed good to God and it seemed good to
us..."? Was it not enough that it was good in the sight
of God? And leave us out of the picture? No, not at all;
for God wants His people to have His mind, to think as He
thinks, to work as He is working, to speak as He is
speaking. "The Spirit and the Bride say, Come..." (Rev.
22:17). Is it not enough that the Spirit says come? Not
really, for His Spirit, men do not know... and unless the
Bride is speaking in union with the Spirit, men are not
going to hear. As long as the "Bride" in her carnal,
apostate, and corrupt way of life sends forth the message
to the nations, "COME! COME!" there will continue to be
scorn and derision heaped upon the people of God. But
wait till the Spirit has a Bride in union with Himself,
and together they speak! Great will be the impact upon
the nations when "the Spirit and the Bride say, COME"
(Rev. 22:17). This kind of invitation, this kind of
working, is powerful... because men’s hearts are moved by
the Voice. The vessel is not just seen as a medium
through whom God can work, but he is seen to be ONE WITH
THE SPIRIT, motivated by the Spirit, energized by the
Spirit--of one heart and of one mind with the Spirit.
This great ecumenical show of unity is totally worthless.
But when man becomes ONE WITH THE SPIRIT, great and
terrible and wonderful will be the Voice that the nations
shall hear.

I heard George Warnock passed away.I cried a river
because
he sowed into my life.I realize he was just a vessel and
like the scripure says in 1 Cor 3:7 So then neither is he
that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but
God that giveth the increase.Here's another excerpt from
Beauty for Ashes if you like his writings.
"The history of Israel as a nation, and the history of
the Church, tell the same story: a story of backsliding
and of new beginnings. We may wonder why there could not
have been a continual progressive walk of God’s people
throughout her long history. But each generation is
responsible to hear and to hearken to the voice of God
for themselves. They cannot inherit the Kingdom of God
from their fathers... And yet, there is a deposit from
one generation to another, and somewhere in succeeding
generations that deposit of truth will begin to
germinate, and sprout, and bring forth the fruit that God
is after."
"For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a
law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they
should make them known to their children: that the
generation to come might know them, even the children
which should be born; who should arise and declare them
to their children: that they might set their hope in God,
and not forget the works of God, but keep His
commandments" (Ps. 78:5-7).
I heard 21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the
Lord will do great things.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the
pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree
beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield
their strength.
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the
Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain
moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the
rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first
month.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats
shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust
hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the
palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and
praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt
wondrously with you: and my people shall never be
ashamed.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel,
and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour
out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream
dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in
those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the
earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon
into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord
come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call
on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount
Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord
hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
