Then They Will See and Know

"Your words have been strong and hard against Me,

says the Lord, Yet, you say, What have we spoken

against You?

You have said, It is useless to serve God, and

what profit is it if we keep His ordinances and walk

gloomingly and as if in mourning apparal before

the Lord of hosts? And now we consider the proud

and arrogant to be happy and favored; evildoers

are exalted and prosper; yes, and when they test

God, they escape (unpunished).

Then those who feared the Lord talked often one

to another; and the Lord listened and heard it, and

a book of rememberance was written before Him

of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared

the Lord and who thought on His name.

And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts,

in that day when I publicly recognize and openly

declare them to be My jewels (My special

posssession, My peculiar treasure). And I will

spare them, as a man spares his own son who

serves him. Then shall you return and discern

between the righteous and the wicked, between

him who serves God and him who does not serve Him.

Malachi 3:13-18 Amp

The Lord is pouring His Spirit out, and His eye is upon those that have been faithful, that have not turned their backs or hardened their heart during the time of testing but have received it as the Father's correction and molding. His grace and supernatural power and blessing is abounding and is about to manifest upon us as He publicly recognizes His jewels and His special possession, that we may shine forth His glory, that we may be a testimony of His faithfulness and covenant promise, that we may be an expression and extention of the very heart of the Father. As the times become darker in the days and years ahead, His light will shine forth brighter in and through us as we remain true to the Lord and draw closer to Him. His glory will shine and the world will see and know Whose we are and Who we serve.

Run to the Father in these desperate times. Fall at His feet. Draw upon His love and mercies. Draw and receive the anointing that is yours as His child and that He so desires to pour upon you. He WILL pour it on you if you will ask with sincerity and with the desire to be His hand and extention of love and power to the world. The truth remains that "God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son."  As the Body of Christ we are to be His body, a represention, a  facsimile of the life Jesus lived here on earth. We are to be extentions of Him, "going about doing good and healing all who are oppressed of the devil", preaching the gospel, healing the sick, cleansing the lepers, raising the dead and casting out demons. It's all in the anointing, and it's all in our commission, but we need the anointing to do it. It's the Holy Spirit that will anoint us for this. It's the Holy Spirit that we need to fall upon us as it did Jesus, and IT WILL as we ask, seek and draw upon Him. "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him."
