Giving God The Glory

The more you pray about what you say or write, the more sure you can be that it’s really from Me, & not just another opinion. Learn to resist the temptation to speak unless spoken through by Me. Go forth in the power of My might, and nothing will be able to withstand you. And the little things that made life so impossible for you beforehand, suddenly will seem ridiculously insignificant. In all you do, wait for Me and My counsel & strength & power to rise above! It’s a matter of giving the glory to Me, instead of yourself! Give Me all the glory all the time, & there’ll be no stopping you. It’s often just the Devil who’s making you feel guilty about not being more busy, accomplishing or achieving more so you can pat yourself on the back! It takes faith to just wait on Me! But you’ll feel so much better, if you do! (Gem, a Spirit Helper:) Just give up your attempts to try it in the flesh & let the Lord do it completely. Trust completely in Him regarding all your affairs. Commit them to the Lord in prayer & trust Him wholly for each of them. He’ll get so much better results than when you try to do it with just a little help from Him... When you realize that those accomplishments were really the Lord’s, it’s easier to get into praising the Lord for the result, instead of patting yourself on the back... Before every phone call: pray! Over every letter you send off: pray! About everything you do, every word you say: pray! THAT’S the way to do it & that’s the way of safety & the path that will ensure success in all your moves! Burning with My Spirit is not anything you can do in the flesh. Only I can set you on fire, you cannot force it. Humility & brokenness is what makes you material that I can ignite. Otherwise, it’ll only smolder, smoke & choke the people. In order for it to become real, there needs to be pain & desperation. You cannot fake love, nor the real fire. Any element of self, which might distract from Me, the true light is only harmful, as it will lead the searcher into a false direction. You’ve got to be willing to become nothing, nothing at all, nothing but Me. Watch out for any of those elements that would distract you. What do you want to do? Do it yourself, promote self, or take the humble road, deny yourself & glorify Me? The comfortable road is the one that promotes anything you like but Me. When you start promoting Me it starts to become uncomfortable... That’s when you start dying to yourself, because it makes your pride, your selfishness, your ego, your old man & everything in you that stands for this comfortable & compromising little life, squeal & hurt. I’m going to help you, but I can’t take this pain from you. So, you have to check your motives. Is your goal & vision easy living? Or do you sincerely want to further My cause & Kingdom? I’d like people to learn to see Me in everything, to look for an opportunity in every situation to glorify Me or to remind people of Me! The Devil would like to sneak in & grab the glory for virtually everything that’s pleasant under the sun. What matters is whether you give Me the glory! Refuse to give it to him! Just take whatever comes your way, trusting in it from the Romans 8:28 angle, giving Me thanks in all things, even IF the Devil did bring it! Sometimes you’ve gotta have some guts to grab the spoils of Egypt. If you’re too scared about whether it’s really politically correct to do this or accept that, there goes another lost opportunity. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are the humble, the thankful, those who grab it by faith & thank Me for it, no matter where it came from. It’s only pride that makes things complicated. Glorify Me in all you do. Use it for edification & lifting Me up, not the Enemy or self, or sad feelings of gloom & hopelessness. Pray that I will override any elements of self, & that it’s purely My Spirit that comes through. Make sure that it’s in My Spirit! The less there is of you, the more the light shines through. The more you glorify Me & the less you just display your skill, the more I can use you. Burn free with the message that truly glorifies Me... If you seek Me first thing everyday, truly put Me first on a daily basis & include Me in everything you do, that also will amount to giving Me the glory in all you do & for all you do, instead of seeking the glory for yourself, or the recognition. You’ve got to watch your motives, like ”Bruce Almighty:” he wanted to let the World know who he was, what a wonderful & talented TV reporter he was, but the more he got what he wanted, the more wrapped up in himself he became, & the bigger the mess grew that he made out of things. I exalt those who are little in their own sight, those who know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s all Me, & they wouldn’t be tempted for a moment to give the glory to themselves. Sometimes some rather unknown actor in a little, less significant side-role can take the audience’s breath away more than the main actors & characters, & by the grace of God you can be such a man, but it’s up to you, your

willingness to put all you’ve got into it... If the motive is to inspire them & to help them make it, & to give your own life for another’s & forsake your own interests, then anything is possible. But if you just want to show off how much better you think you can do, you might as well forget it. The best is to be content with your little role & play it the best you know how & trust Me for it & just do what you can to make the best of it. Don’t worry about who gets the glory. I don't want you to do things to impress Me or anybody else, or to prove what a great guy you are. But I want you to rather fight to love Me & others. If your motives aren't right, then the spirit isn't right, either, and if a project doesn't carry My Spirit, then it's just dead works. Always seek to give Me the full & total glory in whatever you do, and as long as you do, I will make sure to fulfill My Word, that if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me. If your motive is to glorify Me, then I can use it. Anything you say or do: let My light shine through! It's no good as long as you seek your own glory. It only starts to become good when you start giving all the credit to Me, otherwise it's just all so much pride & a works trip. As soon as you start feeling capable of anything, you let your flesh do it. You rush at it. No waiting for Me, no bathing the matter in prayer, no, you try it first in the flesh, & if it doesn't work, "Well, we can still pray then". But that's not putting Me first. That's trying out everything else first, & if it doesn't work, well, then I'll be your last resort. Faithfully point them to Me, not only when they're demanding things from you that you can't give, but also when they're heaping compliments on you. Tell 'em, "It's actually all the Lord, if there's anything good about me at all..." Be humble enough to admit that you don't deserve their praises. Tell'em, "Don't praise me, praise the Lord!" Otherwise I just might have to let them discover your feet of clay. If you fall for the trap of accepting man's praise, the fall will come, eventually. It's always best & safest to keep pointing them to Me in all things & constantly glorify Me and remind them, "It's not in me, it's not in me, it's only in Him... It's only Jesus!" Praise is utter humility & surrender to Me, not seeking any glory for the flesh or for yourself, but only seeking Mine. And that is a factor that just eradicates a lot of the darkness that's prevalent in the World right now, where everybody just basically seeks their own glory, and to glorify themselves, to pride themselves in their accomplishments & pat themselves on the back, or proving their worth & showing off with the status they have achieved to reach by themselves, through their own hands or by means of fleshly heritage in the things they acquire, their material possessions, their wealth, their cars, houses & other status symbols. Whereas the status symbols of the Spirit World are the exact opposite: "the less there is of you, the more the light shines through" is the slogan in the spirit, and the less you exalt yourself & seek your own glory, and the more you seek to glorify God, and just fill the need by whatever humble and invisible action, that is what makes you shine with greater brilliance & glory. If you seek to do that which matters & bears importance according to the rules and standards of Heaven, you would be wise to seek things that glorify Me. "Give God all the credit all the time!" There's a reason for it, you know? It's a security check to keep you humble. Because otherwise, if you take even the tiniest bit of credit to yourself, it becomes a form of worship that may seem innocent enough at first, but pretty soon it'll grow & grow into a hole in the dyke that will result in a catastrophical flood of evil sweeping into your life. Learn how to give. If you can just stay focused on that & stop trying to make some kind of a show business out of that and "behold what I've learned" ra-ra, but just sincerely try to live it instead, without having to look around for the applause of others for it, then you're actually a lot more in My footsteps of the humble path than the one you walk by making others feel bad for not accomplishing the same as you... Make sure you stay in prayer & thus make sure you're accomplishing what I want, and that I will get all the glory for it. Those who know that they are nothing in themselves, already know which part of the glory they should give Me. All of it, lock, stock, barrel, because they knew they could have never done anything by themselves... Give the glory to Me for anything and everything, especially the things you enjoy the most! Don't take anything for granted. If you want to make sure that anything in your life has My blessing, ask Me to bless it, and thank Me for it. Anything in your life that you will include Me in will contain My Spirit and My blessing. Any activity in your life will be blessed as much as you will include Me in it. Those who naturally feel & know that they are & can do nothing in themselves, tend to give Me the glory a lot more for everything, and also to be less harsh & judgemental on their brethren.
