maybe this will bless someone, God spoke this to me as a word for my life today.

God told me that if i am going to finish and fullfill Gods purpose for my life and save souls, that i must be changed out of the way i am now, into something new... that even though i know some stuff and know God atleast some, im still not ready.

but man this is awesome.

psalm 51.5
Behold, i was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

becuase i was born in sin and all i am and all i know is sin, i must go through a process of refinement and change, if i am going to be of any use to God in the kingdom, im not ok the way i am, i must be changed, the way i am is not enough... i must be changed! i was born a sinner and am a filthy sinner by nature, and nothing good can come out of me in my present state, and if i am to be any good to the kingdom of God i must be changed. and even though im saved and born again, alot of those old mind sets and habits and ways of being are still in me, my spirit has been changed, but my soul is still working the same old game, still going through the same old sinful motions, and i must be changed, like paul said, i must be cleanses from the filthiness of the flesh and spirit. on the inside and the outside. not just anyone can do work for the kingdom, the holyspirit requires holiness. not just anyone is a vessel God can use. just becuase your saved, doesnt mean God can do something great for the kingdom with you.

psalm 51.7
purge me with hyssop and i shall be clean, wash me and i shall be whiter than snow.

i must be purged! even after i am saved and born again, i must go through a process of being purged and cleansed and washed. david already knew God, but he still needed to be purged, there was sin and evil things still in that haunted him and crippled him and made him handicapped in the kingdom of God.

psalm 51.8
make me to hear joy and gladness...

someone needs to cry out, i need to cry out and say God MAKE me into what i need to be, becuase the way i am is not enough, the way i am is not ready, the way i am is no good! yes im saved, yes im born again, yes i know few scriptures, but ive still got all this inner sin and evil, Lord i need you to bless me, lord i need you to make me into the clean vessel that will pour out unpolluted water, anyone can preach, anyone can tell the truth, anyone can stand up for the cause, BUT NOT JUST ANYONE IS UNPOLLUTED! LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE PREACHING THE WORD TODAY, BUT NOT ALOT OF THEM ARE CLEAN AND PURE AND FLOW WITH THE PURITY OF THE HOLYGHOST! THEIR POLLUTED BECUASE GOD HASNT MADE THEM CLEAN, THERES NO CONSECRATION, THERE WAS NO PROCESS OF CHANGE! thats why you dont go preach the moment you learn your called, becuase your not ready, he told you, so you could GET ready! WERE SAVED, BUT OUR SALVATION IS MINGLED AND POLLUTED AND MIXED WITH UNCHECKED, UNDEALTWITH EVIL!

psalm 51.10
create in me a clean heart of God, and renew a right spirit within me.

it would do good for us to pray that prayer everyday of our lives.
living in this fallen world, we have to constantly being REFRESHED AND RENEWED.

psalm 51.12
restore unto me...

Lord i need to be restored, we need to be restored!
Lord i was born broken and disheveled and torn and no good! Lord rebuild me, restore me! our nation needs a wave and move of restoration to wash over it, we have christians and preachers and priests that know the name of God and know the ideas of God, but they dont know him for themselves, they dont act like him, talk like him or walk like him! their broken and disjionted, they dont need to be judged, they need to be restored!
being born agian, is not the end of the process, just the beginning, the enemy still hacks away at you and cuts you and attacks you, and you still have to rebuild yourself, even after your saved, you have to go through the process of being restored and changed and rebuilt so you can again function in your Godly calling. fasting and prayer and meditation in the word of God...
were are not ready yet.

psalm 51.13
then will i teach transgressors your ways, and sinners shall be converted!

you dont ever learn how to save souls, YOU BECOME A SOUL WINNER!
its the end result of the process, there are no techniques or skills, youve just got to submit to God and allow him to change you into his perfect vessel by letting yourself be taken with the flow of his will vioce and word in your life, and no matter what, when you doit, it will take you the place of seeing souls saved, you WILL see the lost saved, you WILL change lives, but its not something you go to seminar to learn how to do, its the end result of the process of change in your life.
THEN.... youll see the lost saved.
GO THROUGH THE PROCESS! BE CHANGED, BE MADE, BE RESTORED! CHANGE YOURSELF, GET YOURSELF RIGHT, AND THEN.... the lost will saved.
THEN!... youll have a life changing ministry.

my God, if your not set free, you cant set ayone else free!



they gave Jesus drink that was mingled with wine.
and thats how people are today, how i am, weve got truth, but its mingled with uncleaness! ITS MINGLED WITH EVIL MOTIVES AND HABITS AND DESIRES... yes theres truth there, but its not pure, its mingled with all this other evil. and thats why people cant drink it, becuase its not pure, its mingled... not becuase i want to be evil! but becuase i havent gone through the process of fasting and prayer and meditation in the word of God, and i havent been purged, and made and restored.... i havent gone through the process of being changed into something God can use.

I agree, Endure. We want to enter through the narrow gate, that few enter through. We don't want to just barely make it to heaven, we want to be perfect, as our heavenly father is perfect. Whether or not this is attainable, it is certainly something to strive for, and you appear to know the way. Though we become discouraged in this process, we must persist. I read once that God does not dwell on our many failures, but He sees the struggle, and is pleased.
