Grace Vineyard Christian Fellowship

Beloved Ones, I AM pouring out My goodness through “radical acts of kindness” so that you will go beyond the “hearing” of Me (and My goodness) by the ear and move into a new realm of SEEING Me (and My goodness) with your eyes. Your eyes will be opened to see how mercifully forbearing and longsuffering I have been with your hard-heartedness and the ways that you have resisted whole-hearted surrender of your lives to Me in abandoned worship… which is your reasonable service to Me.

Each of you knows that there are things that I have asked of you…offerings of worship as you have “postured” yourself before Me as a “living sacrifice”. Yet, in these instances, you have drawn near to Me with your lips but your heart has been far from Me as you have held these things close to yourself…resisting surrender…choosing instead to bring Me “substitute” offerings in place of the things I have desired and spoken of to you. You, like King Saul, have kept “the best of” for yourself…not fully realizing that you are empowering the enemy’s grip on your life through idol worship. To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than substitute offerings. Stubbornness is the same as injustice and idolatry. Disobedience is rebellion. I do not take delight in requiring anything of you…it is not for MY pleasure that I ask…but rather, for your own good that I desire that you give Me these things. You think that you can play games with the enemy and not pay a price…I know differently. Those who eat of the sacrifices of the altar are partakers (companions, partners, sharers) of the altar. When you partake of “communing” at the enemy’s table, you become a companion, partner, sharer with him…and he with you. You give him access to kill, steal, and destroy the things of the Kingdom that I have given you to possess, hold, tend, and keep. I do not want you to have fellowship with demons…I do not want you to partner with the destroyer.

Watch for My “radical acts of kindness” in the days ahead and do not despise the riches of My goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering with you. TRUST Me that there is SO much more than you can see. You will never lack any good thing in obedience to Me. My resources are limitless and your joy can only be made complete in Me. I AM pouring out My love, kindness, goodness, mercy, and grace to renew you again to repentance and to woo you again to Myself as whole-hearted, laid-down lovers of Jesus Christ.
