The LORD reminded me that He has already called and confirmed us so that when we face the times of testing and waiting to enter into our calling He will continually ask us to have faith for what He will ask us to do before He calls us to do it. It is a inworking of a new part as an appendage that He gives us. That faith is not a part of ourselves, but is created by Him and sent to us. So just like a body building exercise to build this new part of faith, The LORD will test us in special tasks assigned to build our faith while we undergo this rigorous training to receive more faith.
This part is separate but attached to us like a Holy Appendage, a well of living water that we can draw on for new faith each day. We can also execute our Godly Bonds requesting more faith building and revelations. These revelations can come through the waiting and the expectant attendance on His Voice. We can actually invite this more and more with expectancy. It is not the whole reason for the tasks that He assigns. We need His blessing and He needs us to be employed in this work. However, most of all, He desires this co-labour to be able to be more intimate with each of His Children.
Apart from Him, we can do nothing of lasting significance. As He warned us by His Son, everything will be tried and tested by fire and all that does not stand the test of His Orders will be burnt up with fire when all The Books of Life are opened to review our works and deeds, thoughts and words.
Therefore, He reminded me that the highest place to attain is not the place where others see us, but where He alone meets with us and The Son and we are clothed in His Light in the garments of light which are His Righteousness. This is the wedding garment that is granted to those who walk in His truth and know the truth and the reason He made them for their callings.
There is a wonderful testament of this intimacy desired by The LORD written by Paul in Hebrews Chapter Four. I encourage you to read it and comprehend His great love for you.
“Thus says, The LORD God, The Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest (in My Presence in communion with Me) shall you be saved; in quietness and confidence will be your strength: And you would not.”
So do not let it be said by Him to you “And you would not.”
In returning to Him will He be able to work out your deliverance and your salvation from all adversity. Meaning in handing over to Him your time daily, you are saying, “I trust my Abba to set into order all that is in chaos in my life and the lives of those who I lift up to Him for restoration.
“The way of a man is froward and strange; but as for the pure, his work is right.” ~ Proverbs 21:8 Therefore, remember these words.
This is critical at this time if you are to be cleansed of the workings and false assignments of the Adversary and his cohorts. This vision of Annie Schisler explains the need to wait before The LORD daily with more intensity of purpose, just like a faithful dog waiting with ears pricked and eyes always watching to heed and obey The LORD or to just hear His words of praise and approval.
This Vision is titled appropriately, “The Place of Cleansing.”
The Place of Cleansing
As I drew near to Him in prayer, He showed me His people upon whom He was pouring out a very precious and important something which was neither special gifts nor blessings; it was a part of Himself that He was giving to them. The enemy was exceedingly angry and did not want this to take place. Knowing that the Lord would not come into unclean vessels, he purposed to hinder it by making the vessels unclean who were to receive this outpouring. Thus he began his ugly works of doubt, discouragement and flesh, in order to raise up a bulwark against the coming of the Lord. Nevertheless, in spite of all the enemy’s strivings, which the Lord permitted, God said that He was going to fulfill all His purposes, and would most surely pour out this part of Himself, without being thwarted nor hindered in any of His purposes.
Then He showed me how He drew out from His people the workings of the enemy. First, He asked them to allow Him to draw off all this uncleanness; then, from those who allowed Him to do so He extracted all these ugly workings, which appeared like a huge, nauseating, black miasma filled with weapons of the enemy. Encircling all the evil, He enclosed it in Himself, and prepared to burn and destroy it with His fire.

“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” ~ Proverbs 14:12
Otherwise, you will be so uptaken with the works assigned by your well meaning churche fellowships that you will miss your calling and become like those Paul referred to as “….having a form of godliness, but denying it’s power. And from such people turn away!” ~ II Timothy 3:5
Consider Paul’s instruction to the new converts and his own disciples regarding the Jews and all who are far from righteousness because they have yet to comprehend and believe by faith the Gospel of Jesus Christ crucified for their sins.
Israel Needs the Gospel
10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for [a]Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Let us pray we will enter in to the place of His Will and not of our own choosing. Crowns are at stake!
