BEING THE LORD’S WILL
January 31, 2001

BEING THE LORD’S WILL
Do we desire to
be our heavenly Father’s will, His image, to be the manifestation of His love,
mercy and grace in these vessels of clay (earth)? Is it not His own
desire put within us when He created us IN His image, to be His will; to
multiply; to be co-creators IN Him; to be His ambassadors to reconcile all the
earth around us back to Him? Yes, I know it is in the heart of God for us
to be His sons in His image; to be the manifestation of the sons of God; to be
the Lord’s will in ALL the earth.
First of all it is the Father’s will and desire and He is the one that apprehends us and gives us the desire to be one with Him, through His Son, Jesus Christ. How can we not respond to such love, mercy and grace but with a grateful heart of love to know Him and to always do His will; to know His heart and will above all things? How can we not desire to enter into covenant with Him to do His will? How can we desire anything more than to be in full agreement with Him and His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Word? Jesus prayed to His Father, for us who would believe in Him through the spoken word.
When I first read Jesus prayer request to His Father (recorded in John 17) for us to be one with His Father, even as He is one with His Father, I had no doubt that His Father heard His prayer and that He had the answer to His prayer for us, and that our oneness in them was already complete the day Jesus prayed this prayer. I truly believe this was the faith of God; a gift of faith, given to me by His Almighty, all sufficient grace to believe, in that moment of time, that we are one in God through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. It was the greatest day of my life. In a moment, I knew oneness in God. And more than that! It filled me with the knowledge of being one with all His creation. I cannot find words to express the joy I experienced. I know this knowledge filled a great void in me. My whole life was changed from that day forward. It is my desire to take you through the prayer of Jesus, sharing with you what He showed me by His Spirit that day in 1948.
Jesus communed with His Father, (John 17:6), “I have manifested Thy name unto the men which thou gavest Me out of the world: Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me: and they have kept Thy word. 7. Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou hast given Me are of Thee. 8. For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed that Thou didst send Me. 9. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine. 10. And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them. 11b. Keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as We are. 13. And now come I to Thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Thy word; 15. I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world, 17. Sanctify them through Thy truth; Thy word is truth. 18. As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the World. 19. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; 21. That they all may be one as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me 22. And the glory, which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one. 23. I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved me. 24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. 25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and These have known that Thou hast sent Me. 26. And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it; that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

WITH PURPOSE OF HEART
(A Prayer)
Heavenly Father,
By Your grace You have given this vessel Your purpose of heart. You have
made this vessel with a heart after you, that pants after you like the deer
pants after the water brook. This vessel desires to know You, to
know Your love, mercy and grace for all creation; that this vessel shall become
Your image of love, mercy and grace in this earth to minister the gospel of
reconciliation back into You, to the world around me; to my husband and
children and to all You give me in this whole world of darkness around me and
as far reaching as You will take this vessel as an image of Your love, mercy
and grace for ALL.
You have given this vessel Your desire, a
passionate burning love to be Your vessel of honor; to represent Your
passionate love, mercy and grace for ALL Your creation, leaving no one
out. This vessel knows without a doubt that You will not leave one soul
behind. That ALL ARE reconciled back into You already. It is the
declaration of this heart. This vessel is made in Your image to live and
move and have my being IN You so as to impart this message of reconciliation
INTO You to every creature, every soul on earth as far as You will take this
vessel.
Your LIFE has filled this vessel with Your love, mercy and grace for ALL Your creation. Your LIFE imparts power into this vessel to proclaim Your revelation TRUTH by the Spirit of Christ within to EVERY CREATURE on this earth. Let Your light shine through this vessel and Your light reveal Your love, mercy and grace to ALL. Let ALL know the hidden secrets of Your love in subjecting us to vanity without our will, but with hope; Let ALL Your creatures know it was with full intention of Your purpose in making us holy, in Your image.
Father, let ALL know that Your chastening power is purposed by You to purge us from the vanity within. Reveal within us all the hidden sins that we shall abhor them with the pure heart You have given us; that we shall repent of them and learn, by the power of Your Spirit within, to resist them. Cause ALL to know that we do not even will to repent of sin accept we receive a repentant heart from You; that we can do nothing to please You without You giving us the faith to please You; that we can do nothing to know Your love that will cause us to repent of all evil; that we are completely dependent on You to draw us to know Your love, mercy and grace through Your only begotten Son, Jesus; cause All to know that unless You draw us we cannot know You; Cause ALL to know our complete dependence upon You for everything.
Father, our prayer for others is: Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. It is the heart cry of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the heart cry of Your servant, the apostle Stephen and the heart cry of all Your sons and daughters that have departed from this world, and it is the heart cry of all those IN the body of Christ that remain upon this earth, the manifest sons of God. Hear our cry, O Lord. We cry IN the very nature of Christ who lives within us. We cry IN Your very nature within us, Father. We cry this prayer in Your image. Therefore we know that we pray according to Your will and that You hear us and therefore, we know we have the petition we request of You.
O Father, we praise You that in Your image we pray Your prayer and we share in Your glory because we are one IN You and because Jesus prayed to You for us to be one IN You even as He is; and that You are One in us even as You are One in Jesus; You IN us and us IN You. I cannot express in natural ways how glorious You are to have made us in Your image; to be one IN You and for You to be One IN us; to be created by You to bear Your image in these earthen vessels; to be lifted up into the heavenlies by You in Christ Jesus to sit together with Him on Your throne; to be Hid IN You with Christ Jesus, our wonderful, lovely Lord and Savior of ALL His Creation!
Thank You Father, Praise You Father, this vessel Worships You, Father, beyond any natural means to express my thanksgiving, praise and worship. This vessel is exceedingly grateful at this time that You have given me, by the promise of Your Spirit, and with Your Spirit, a heavenly language to express my thanksgiving and praise IN You, and the pure and holy way to Worship You IN Spirit and IN Truth. This is the most intimate way any of us commune with You. It is the ultimate of our personal relationship IN You. And our ultimate joy is in knowing we are not sharing this relationship IN You alone for we, Your sons and daughters are all one IN this ultimate relationship IN You together, and You are One IN all of Your sons and daughters together, and together we are sharing IN Your glory IN You.
To think of the glorious oneness of that day when every knee shall bow IN praise and worship before You; when every creature (every soul) will gratefully and humbly kneel together before You to worship You in Spirit and truth; ALL gratefully acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord together as one IN You. How can this or any vessel express the glorious realization of this revelation of truth to anyone but You; and how can we express it to You except IN Spirit and IN truth. Only by Your Spirit within us can this revelation be experienced; this oneness IN You together with ALL Your creation.
Grant it, Lord! This vessel of Yours knows this petition is granted because this vessel knows it is Your will and purpose from before the foundation of the world; and I know it is granted because this vessel of Yours is making this petition known unto You IN Your very image. Let ALL Your creation know Your glorious plans and purposes from the beginning of time, all that You, by revelation of Your Spirit, have prepared for them. This vessel is filled with Your glorious revelation of Your will to grant this petition unto ALL Your creation. It was Your intention and purposed by You before You framed the worlds. And You did create man in Your image, in Your likeness to be holy even as You are holy; to have Your faith, Your power and to share in Your glory. We will ALL be as a wheel within a Wheel (us ALL IN You), sharing IN ALL Your creation and creative powers throughout ALL the ages to come.
Father in heaven; How great Thou art! No tongue can express it to another adequately apart from the revelation of THE WORD that flows from within. And even then, knowledge of You and Your wonderful works can only be experienced as You choose to reveal it. But all praise and honor and glory goes to You Lord, for ALL creation SHALL know You, Lord. No man will need to say to his neighbor, “Know the Lord”, for ALL shall know You. O, this vessel praises You for the knowledge of You will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea! With all that is within us we sing this song unto Thee:
Then
sings my soul, my Savior, Lord to Thee,
How great Thou art; How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Savior, Lord to Thee,
How great Thou art; How great Thou art!
And even above
this song; even far above this song we will be singing a new song unto You; ALL
creation dwelling together, ONE IN YOU and singing this new song together BEING
ONE IN YOU! Eye has not seen, nor has ear heard all that God has prepared
for ALL of those that love Him. And the day will come when every knee
shall bow before You and every tongue shall confess with adoration and love
that Jesus is Lord! Amen.
*******
Revelation 22:20-21, He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
