TAKE THE LOW PLACE

I speak unto you this day and I say be willing to prefer others above yourselves, for when you take the low place, it is I the Living God who sees your actions and calls you to “come up higher in Me.” When I have brought people together to work for My Kingdom, they are meant to live together in harmony, preferring others above themselves. Those who are always demanding the high place are foolish. It is Me the Living God who gives gifts and holds together those whom I have called and chosen. . . .

JESUS CHRIST THE LORD is the only Savior from sin and the power of the devil.  He is God in the flesh -- the Only One who has come to die for you and me, to pay the penalty of our sins and empower us by His Holy Spirit to live a victorious life above sin!  He can help you, and He will, if you just turn to Him.  Turn from all known sin, turn to Jesus, pray for forgiveness for your sins and that God will fill you and baptize you in His Holy Spirit, and He will.

TAKE THE LOW PLACE

I speak unto you this day and I say be willing to prefer others above yourselves, for when you take the low place, it is I the Living God who sees your actions and calls you to “come up higher in Me.” When I have brought people together to work for My Kingdom, they are meant to live together in harmony, preferring others above themselves. Those who are always demanding the high place are foolish. It is Me the Living God who gives gifts and holds together those whom I have called and chosen.

With this in mind do not be always looking out only for your own interest and not be concerned with the well-being of others. When you see those who have set themselves up in selfish isolation from Me, know that the same is not in obedience to the command of Jesus that you love one another. True Christianity is not selfish nor does it demand to have the biggest, the best, and the most. 

Those who will prove themselves to be in the steps of Jesus will be the ones who were willing to serve all and not complain nor neglect to do so. When you think that you are meant to always be in the position of power, such is a position of foolery. Consider that it is My business and not yours how I use people and for what. Those who have true authority in Me are the ones who will serve and not be in the position of bragging on themselves. The person who is continually putting down others to show how great they are is a fool, because they are listening to pride rather than the still small voice of My Spirit. 

Be thankful to have the indwelling of The Holy Spirit ever present and if you take the humility position, The Spirit will lead and guide you every day in The Way I want you to walk in. There is no reason to struggle against Me and want to be independent, rather there is every reason to choose the Way I give to you and find satisfaction in the same. Over and over there are those who want to exalt themselves, all for nothing and end up in the despair and loneliness which comes of self-love. 

The Way which Jesus demonstrated was not the way of getting, it was The Way of Giving of Himself as a servant and reaching out to those who were needy of the Love, the Life, and the Light which He came bringing to earth. Jesus did not function apart from Me, for He obeyed what My Spirit told Him to do. You have the same spirit and can operate under the Holy Spirit commands and dictates if you want to “be like Jesus.” Thank Me that you do not have to be a hero, for the same wants recognition. Be glad that you can be in the role of a servant and finding joy in the same. 

So many have been completely off balance and out of harmony with Me and by their own choices they are estranged from My Way and only want the way of the world where people gain recognition for what they can do. The reality is if I am not the One who is in control, you have chosen the wrong place and need to repent and come under command of the Holy Spirit and find yourself in the low place. It is much safer to choose the low place and not be bothered with the issue of asserting how great you think you are. Remember you are to think of others more highly than you think of yourselves. When you keep that attitude then you are able to bear with the faults of one another because you realize not one is perfect nor does anyone know everything. 

When it is Me that you want to please then you will see how important it is to Me that you keep unity one with another and thereby remain in harmony with My purposes and intentions. I absolutely do not want the ones who are Mine to be as the heathen, full of all manner of evil yet not willing to face their own darkness which is rooted in pride and motivated by demons. When any sinner truly repents and changes his or her ways, then they will receive forgiveness mercies as it is our pleasure to give them the same. However when they are refusing repentance, they are causing themselves more troubles than they imagine. 

When you consider how many tragedies, calamities, heart aches and pain are the consequence of pride and the demons motivating carnality. It is really sad to see the consequences of unbridled carnality and foolish pride. There are so many families in these times which are broken apart because men and women refuse to humble themselves and say sorry. They would rather ride with pride than keep the marriage stable for their own growth and the stability of their children. Children actually need to know they have a mother and a father who are in love and together. It is especially necessary for those who are calling themselves “Christians” to stay faithful to Me and to each other. If I have entrusted them with children they are to raise those children in a godly manner and teach them to respect and honor Me. Of course many children will not appreciate the effort their parents put into them but they will have to admit to themselves they need and love their parents. As they mature they see what other children suffer because of divorce, instability, and same-sex partners for parents. Some children are raised in foster care and never have stability in such a lifestyle. Give Me thanks for the ability to humble yourselves unto Me and others.
