God is calling for His people to cleanse themselves from all filthiness of the flesh and of spirit; perfecting holiness in His sight. From the days of the Apostle Paul until now, God is urging us to present ourselves as living sacrifices; holy and acceptable unto Him. Today, God is calling Zion to a higher standard in our lives. We must be careful not to connect ourselves with things or people that will cause us to fall from His grace. Amen.

Through the children of Israel's journey from their bondage in Egypt to being tested forty years in the wilderness, God was setting them up for Canaan. Moses proclaimed to Israel in Deutoronomy 11:25 that no man would stand before them; for the land given to them was their territory. Today, God has favored His people to take their territory; whether it is their marriage, children, joy, peace of mind, or healing. This is the season God is raining His abundant favor in the lives of His faithful people.

The heart can be affected by so many things, good or bad. When it is affected by the joy of the Lord, happy are they that serve Him. However, when it is affected by bitterness and unforgiveness, the heart becomes hard hearted. Some of us started out running well, but now we've let our hearts become tainted. Today, God is ready to break up the fallow ground that He may sow righteousness and heal our land.

The harvest is ripe and the Lord is calling for laborers to work the field. God is concerned about the condition of the laborers; for they have become complacent in His harvest. There have been many distractions such as selfishness, hurt, bitterness, complacency, and lack of zeal continuing to hinder the work of the Lord. God has thoroughly equipped His people unto every good work. Now, we must make the decision to do all that God has put in our hearts for His Name's sake.

God is speaking to His people saying, "there must be a death process in our lives." There are habits, thoughts, philosophies, relationships, and things of our past that must die. There is pain and loneliness in death but God has given us a greater plan if we heed His voice. We cannot run from this process, for God desires His divine will to be done in our lives. When we decide to "give up the ghost" just as our Lord and Savior did on the cross, we will be elevated and glorified.

God is deeply concerned for the welfare of His people. He desires us to have abundant life, but we have allowed the cares of this world stifle us. We've allowed fear, doubt, failure, and selfishness keep us from being prompt on God's time. Whatever has been raped from us, stolen from us, or taken from us, God is able to restore it to us. God is ready to bless His people today but now our hearts must be open to receive.

Philppians 3:14 states that we must "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." God is urging us to let go of the distraction in the earth realm so we may enter His rest in the glory realm. This ongoing event will take all of what God has put in us because our enemy is doing all he can to keep us from our transformation. We need to make the decision to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit to reside in the glory realm. In the glory realm there is no more war, but P.ower, R.evelation, I.ntimacy, Z.eal, and E.ffective.

We are in the hour when God is shifting us from the old man to the new man that is in Christ. God is requiring us to be transformed by His Word and by His Spirit. This is the season for us to go to the other side, just as the children of Israel went towards the Promised Land. This is the call for those who have truly changed and are ready to enter into His rest.

Jesus is saying unto us just as He said unto Peter, that He has given us the keys of the kingdom of heaven; for whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven. We must walk worthy of our vocation where we have been called and be confident in Him alone. God has made us more than conquerors through Jesus Christ our Lord.
