We are called until the day we pass over. Listen and heed the warning to pray and obey and go forward with the God Ordained Divine Connections with whom The LORD has called you to be aligned.
Remember, your calling is irrevocable no matter what your past or current condition and circumstances. “Every new level of anointing causes an attack of criticism.” Those Critics missed what God was doing, but you must not miss God’s Divine Guidance but heed His Voice.
I encourage to agree with the prayer at the end of this broadcast and seek The LORD while he can be found, and do not harden your heart against the true way. He will lead you if you ask Him to enter the door of your heart and “to teach you wisdom in the secret heart.” [View Painting of The Secret Heart above] Then listen to the Psalm 51 by Shane & Shane in the video link below. Sing and decree these words of King David over yourself, remembering, that even David a King of Judah resisted The LORD in his error and then responded to the LORD with a contrite heart asking for Him to create a steadfast and willing spirit within him and teach him His wisdom.
Arthur Burt one of God’s Generals recounted one of his books (I cannot recall the title) a happening in a church meeting where he was present that occurred with a young sixteen year old girl named Flora. She was what they called a “drab” in her village. Her Father was an alcoholic and often locked her out of the house and told her to find another place to sleep. She would go to the porch gate of the church and wait for the Minister to open the door to the main hall. When a minister came to speak about Revival she was called and led by the Holy Spirit to speak to the elders about their specific sins and tell them to get their houses in order. She was speaking by the power of the Holy Spirit. Many times they were convicted and repented. I remember that Arthur also wrote that when Flora was visited in her old age and asked if she remembered her activity and words in those meetings she could not recall even though her memory was unimpaired.
Arthur Burt wrote another book about personal failure and how to overcome the doubt and unbelief in our hearts that we can make a difference in by purposefully going forward where The LORD leads us. He warns us in his book “Boomerang: “The Funeral of Failure” (pages 16-19) with these words of truth about how to escape this trap.
“I am always first in unbelief before I am in sin! The greater includes the lesser! Catch the spider and stop dusting cobwebs! My sin comes out (number three) of my judgments (number one). BOOMERANG! Judge not (don’t throw) that ye not be judged! Thou that judgest does the same things! (Romans 2:2) Relative to my failure, God does not deliver me to deliver me! He delivers me for His Glory, and if He is not getting the credit He won’t do the work! That is why so many are tied to pardoning grace, (Oh! God! I have done it again!) Instead of being released by changing grace!”
“I will not give My Glory to another.” (Isaiah 48:11). Where is my responsibility in my failure? First, obviously, I must take the blame! Take the blame or you do it again! There are three things where the sovereignty of God gloves the hand of the responsibility of man. performance, will and choice. First, performance I cannot do! I cannot change myself! I have not the ability of myself to stop sinning. God must do it! So he gets the credit because he does the work. And if He doesn’t do it, it isn’t done! Second, will, God works in BOTH to will and to do (Philippians 2:13).”
“It is not for him that willith (Romans 9:16). Whatever God demands, He provides! How often have you heard people say, “You must be willing to leave your sin.” If you are willing you have the glory and break the principle of God’s glory. If he wants the glory He must do the work! God will not accept natural willingness which says (like the man in the parable), “I will go!” and goes not! Admitted, you must be willing to leave your sin but Has to WORK IN to will as well as to do of what? His great misery? No! His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). “
“When He has worked in you to will you will know, because His good pleasure will be your good pleasure! I am to ENJOY the will of God! YOU HAVEN’T ONDE THE WILL OF GOD WHEN YOU HAVE DONE IT MISERABLY!”
“Whatsoever is not faith is sin. There is joy and peace in believing. God doesn’t want a lot of salt zombies like Lot’s wife who are looking back to what they have left, moaning for the leeks and onions of Egypt, instead of enjoying the milk and honey of Caanan! The JOY of the LORD is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Amen to God isn’t a dirge —there is music in it! Amen isn’t amen if it is a resigned amen.”
“The prodigal son’s feet were under the father’s table and his heart was in the far country, and the father made it possible for him to take his feet where his heart was (he divided unto them his “living” —unusual?) until the son’s heart brought his feet back. Many people (including the writer) have sought to make themselves willing! The hymn writer wrote: “Deep in unfathomable mines of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs AND WORKS HIS SOVEREIGN WILL!” To make a pun, there are depths in me that only God can fathom, where I have had “my sovereign will” and declared this is “mine” and that is “mine” and the other is “mine.” It has to be a work before I surrender! I may not want to go, but God may send hornets that make it difficult to stop! It is a work that God does and therefore when it is done, the GLORY (credit) IS HIS! So then what is left? Where does my human responsibility come in? Am I a robot? Do I just say “What is to be will be?” Kismet, fate” How do I deal in personal responsibility with my failure? Am I waiting for God or is God waiting for me? On which side of the net is the ball? This brings me to a choice.”
“How do I define my choice? Lord, I am not willing for your will but I choose it; I am willing to be made willing! I stop fighting Him about the situation and start inviting him into it! This is man’s responsibility. The spending power of God Almighty is determined by the choice of his children. Psalm 78:41 says, “They limited the Holy One of Israel!” The Unlimited One may be limited by man’s choice. The heart may choose to be a god and rise in pride or humble to God and find grace. You may say then, “If I choose, then at least I have whereof to glory,” and thus break the principle that if God wants all the glory (credit), He must do all the work. No! I am dying of thirst in the desert; God brings the water. He says, “Stoop down and drink and live!” I stoop down, I drink, I live! Why do I live? “Oh,” I answer, “I live because I stooped!” Oh, no you don’t! You live because God brought the water. All the stooping in the world would not have saved your life if God had not brought the water! And yet, you would have died if you had not chosen to bend your neck! So the blame is all mine if I don’t , and the credit is all His if I do! Beware of the philosophy that says, “If the blame is mine, then the credit is mine.” My choice is vital and yet so feeble that God must fix it!” Take some samples (what we term as failures in the church today) such as slavery to the gogglebox (TV), smoking, all kinds of self-abuse, overeating, sex etc., inordinate desire (or idolatry) to something that is not necessarily evil—newspapers, magazines, sports (such as football, swimming) money, and so on. This is a sample list, obviously, and not comprehensive. With many things it takes more grace to ride the beast than starve to death!”
To move forward in your calling against all opposition I recommend Arthur Burt’s book “Prove Me Now” and I encourage you to sing the song created by Shane & Shane based on Psalm 51 which is a powerful confession of repentance and faith.
