Be Consumed By Me
Feb 12 2004 12:00AM



BE consumed with me, I am calling you to "BE" My Life not to "DO", works, so many of My servants rush to do something for me, they want to preach or teach but there is no LIFE in their words so that those who hear are not edified, they are not fed, they do not grow, they stay babies that require the milk of the word.
How can you give something if you do not have it yourselves? There is no power when there is no LIFE, and there is only one way my children to have power in your life, to heal, to have victory over the enemy, My Life must be poured out of you like Living Water, healing and changing all that it comes in contact with. You are vessels of My life, and there can be no LIFE, except it be in that quiet place, where My Life is poured into You.

My Body is crying out to be fed, and the pastors shepherds are feeding themselves and they are stomping down the pasture. They are not really feeding on the Life, so that they can give it to those sheep who are wandering away, lost, looking for a sheep fold where they will be fed and watched over.

My people go from church to church looking for something that will keep them alive, and yet they do not know how to get this Living Word because they have only learned to get it second hand instead of from ME the Bread of Life.
They have not been taught to sit at My feet, but rather they depend on the Word given by the shepherd.
Did not I say that you need not anyone teach you, but the anointing you have received shall teach you all things, and is truth and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him.


Thus my people are comfortable with medocrity, they have been taught doctrine that tickles the ear, rather than sacrificing self, they have been taught comfort and prosperity.

They are not able to use the gift that I have given them to build up and edify the Body.They go dormant, and their calling is buried, their gift is pressed down and trampled on. They are broken and rejected and there is no one to heal them, but I will heal and restore them, and take them to high places and they will feed in my hills on living water.

They have no desire to share Me with others because they have no LIFE in their words. They do not speak forth My life, their thoughts are consumed with the things of this world, or finances, or married partners, or the things of the flesh.
I give life, I heal, I deliver, I reconcile, I give new Life. But to have that you must be consumed with Me, not for what blessings you can get as you have been taught. But because you hunger and thirst for My Presence. All these things have become stumbling blocks to you. They hinder your growth, they hinder healing, they hinder what I want to do in your life.

Lay it all at My feet, give it all up, for Me and My Presence and glory in Your life, as long as your thoughts are on this thing or that situation instead of Me, you will not defeat the enemy, he will be all over you.
Lay not up treasures for yourself, but lay up that which will not perish with the using. Matthew 6:19-21.

You will not find peace in the world, you will find it only in the Prince of Peace, you will not find love like mine in any human, I alone can love you as you have never been loved.
I want to impart my gifts to You, I want to impart my love and My joy into Your being.
All these things will be yours when you get alone with me, and just wait in My Presence, all your besetting sins will fall away, all your trials will be overcome, for you see beloved all the power is in My Presence, this is the hidden treasure, that you must give all for.

You must train your ear to hear my voice because when I begin to shake all that can be shaken, who will lead you? You must learn to know My voice now, and learn to be led by My Spirit, so that when everything you once leaned on, is crumbling, you will hold fast to Me to direct your path. There are many voices out there, but do you KNOW mine?

Be consumed with Me, beloved, be consumed with My love, let me impart how I feel about My creation, My lost ones, My children who have wondered back into the enemies territory. Let our hearts beat as one, then you will go forth with My life to take it to the nations.

My life will empower you, My Life goes forth in power, and with out that power there is no change, no souls to come to me. It is the Life of the spirit you need, it is in the power of My word, but without life it will go out lifeless.
Rev 3:1 "I know thy works that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
Rev 2:4
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because you have left your first love.

Do these scriptures sound familiar to you? Do they ring a bell, are you dead because of your love for the things of the world instead of the things of God? Because you have left me Your first love and no longer come to Me for Your Life. Like a branch that has no life, no living water, and it becomes brittle and begins to die, and is ready to be cut off and thrown into the fire.

Be consumed with Me, My children, and the lost will be wanting just to be near you because they sense My Presence. And let Me be consumed by you, I long for Your Presence just to know that You desire me more than anything else I have given you.
I love you beloved allow Me to permeate your life. There is really nothing else but My life, or a life that is eternal agony.
