Word submitted for your discernment
by Yolanda Ballard (roarnworship@cfl.rr.com) FAITH OR THE COUNTERFEIT Examine your own heart! This is the day when you must know, without a shadow of doubt, whether you truly are in My kingdom, or if you have just had only a religious experience based upon works. For if you don't have visible changes within your heart, actions, motives, and desires to serve Me, and to promote My kingdom alone, then you must examine your heart before it is too late. Many have begun a walk where it is all talk with their eyes mainly focused upon the lives of others instead of examining their own walk, and this is the fruit of having religion rather than having a true relationship with Me. Many put more emphasis on the things that they have done after they have confessed knowing Me rather than placing all the glory for their salvation upon Me and My work upon the Cross for their redemption. For if you think that your water baptism or whether you speak in unknown tongues is your ticket to escape the wrath alone, without having an ongoing love relationship with Me, then you are being deceived by a spirit of religion. I am not interested in formulas or actions alone, but in the heart attitude behind what you are doing. For salvation is a free gift that I paid the price for received only by acknowledging and expressing the fact that you are truly a sinner who needs a Savior! Ask yourself this day why you believe what you believe concerning salvation, and see if you are placing more emphasis upon your own works rather than Mine. For if you are, then you truly have missed the mark, and do not have the genuine article. For religion is based upon doing things that you feel give you the right to enter into My kingdom. And salvation is from the result of receiving a free gift based upon My works, which you can take no glory in any righteous act, and have nothing in which you can boast. Examine your heart whether your actions are based upon My love flowing through you, or are there just ulterior motives behind what you are doing. For these are serious times, and you must humble yourself, and examine your heart to see if you are truly Mine. For My sheep know My voice and follow only Me. They will not listen to the voice of the taskmaster, or will not allow the noose of religion to be placed around their neck. I love you, My people, for I died for you, but you must know the Truth in order to be set free. My power will only flow through a vessel that is yielded to Me, for religion only quenches My flow. Come out from under that unclean thing. Be free. Be led of Me. Love and be loved! Be truly yourself, the one I died for. Take off the mask, and let Me see the one that I love, not the counterfeit. For in order to make it to the end, you must know the Truth and walk in it! ------------- At The Father's Feet http://www.roarnworship.com |

Heart motivations examinations and purity from cleansing fire is consumated in the Fear of the Lord. Father we cry out and say let the Fear of the Lord be our standard, let righteousness run down like a river to flood we ..your people with the Truth that sets us free from our lukewarm complacency ------------- Stronghold 5 |
