7/13/14 A word of the Lord given to Mark Bevan
To the assembly at Steep Falls,
My children, My blessings and grace be upon you always.
Little ones, you have been called for a purpose, for such a time as now. Each of you has a unique role to play, yet you are all one body. It is in the unity of this body, matured and made whole in the likeness of my son, that I shall use you my children, to do exploits in this world.
You have wondered why I have placed such an importance on these gatherings. For it may appear in the natural as though nothing is happening. But this is not the case. I am building you my children into a house, a spiritual house in which I shall dwell in these days to come, and yes even forever more.
I have chosen each of you for a purpose. Think not that you know not why you are here. For the truth is you all have a purpose, to glorify me and to share the revelation of My son with those whom I will bring before you.
You are a special people, a people who have humbled yourselves to do my will, and to allow me to do my work both in and through you, as I once did with Jesus. You are his body in this earth, resurrected and glorified, if you can receive the revelation of that truth.
My children know this, that although you are all my children, I yearn to have one to sit at my side. Just as Jesus now sits with me. And you shall sit with Me in glory, but there are some whom I have chosen to glorify with Christ, for they have laid themselves down for me, as my son once did for them.
It is these, among you my children that shall walk as my son walked in the days ahead. Together, and as one, they shall lead my people as Christ has done.I have called you my children to walk as one. To lay aside your differences, and allow me to unite you in the likeness of Christ.
To each of you I have given vision of the uniqueness of your purpose. However, that calling can only be fully manifested in the unity of the body. None of you are able to fulfill the purposes I have given you without each other. Without working together.
Be diligent, set yourselves like a flint, and purpose in your hearts to hear my voice in the days to come. I am indeed speaking to all of you, you you often fail to listen.
Hear me my children, for I see your desire to hear me better. You must be willing to allow me to grow you, if you shall come to know me in a new way. Be willing to lay aside all things you think you know of me, for I say much of your understanding is tarnished my children, and it is in this misunderstanding of my ways, that you fail to hear me. It is in a type of pride my children that you hold fast to these ways of man, and fail to humbly submit unto me and my leading. This pride prevents you, and even blinds you. It stops up your ears.
Hearing me is the most simple thing my children. But you have made it difficult in your religious ways. You look to find me far from you. You seek me as though I am lost. You use your natural ears, expecting me to come down from heaven to greet you. But my children, you have missed me, so many times. Think of those times when I spoke to the depths of your heart. Think of the unmistakable voice you heard deep within you.
This is where I am my children, for I live in you. Not someplace far from you. But to hear me, you must humble yourselves, casting down your own thoughts, and the voice of the evil one. This is why I have said be still and know that I Am God!
It is not difficult to hear me my children if you will press in with faith. For you know my words, that my sheep hear my voice. Only trust in me and my word above all else.
I long for the day, when you will all hear me as one my children. And yes there is a day coming soon, when this shall indeed be so. But you must first learn to hear me individually, and to hear me well. This ONLY comes by practice and faith. Faith in my word and time spent seeking my presence. But it is not simply that I desire you to be found in my presence, for I have more than this to give you. There was a time when this was enough, but now I do a new thing. For I desire to have with each of you the same relationship I shared with my son when he walked this earth. The same relationship I once shared in the garden with Adam. Have you never questioned why Jesus came to the garden to pray? Was it not in the garden, that I talked with the first Adam in the coolness
Of the evening.
I desire to once again have a garden my children, and you are my crops. You are also the seed, through whom many will be born into my kingdom.
You are my firstfruits, for you have given yourselves as an offering, that others might be raised up.
Seek me, my children. Seek me as never before. Above all, listen and press in that you might have ears to hear that which the spirit would speak. I love you my children.
