A Word from the Father to the Assembly, given to Mark Bevan 1/18/14
You are a spiritual house my children, one that cannot be shaken. You know that I have indeed called you together, to join yourselves to each other in this body, this assembly.
Yes, you have a purpose my children. I have ordained since the beginning of time that a people would come forth without spot or wrinkle. You are my bride, the one to whom I am covenanted.
Do you see my children that I am covenanted to all my children, but most do not partake of that covenant out of ignorance and unbelief?
Yes, my promises are to all, all those that receive them by faith. I am no respecter of persons, all have been given equal opportunity, but many refuse my free gift to them, and as such, by their own faith, take themselves out of covenant with me.
But you are those whom I have chosen in this time to show the world that indeed my covenant promises are true, to put on display the glory of my kingdom, and in doing so bring many to repentance.
My children, look around, you can see the lines being drawn between those who have truly laid their lives down for me and those who call on my name yet do not as I say.
I tell you that as it is written, so shall it be, that a great falling away is occurring and will occur. The church as you know it now will be shaken to its knees. My people shall be scattered, and I say who will go and find them? Who will seek them out?
Those who have suffered persecution because of my name sake. These are my little ones, precious and dear to me, yet mine own people have despised them.
In these days I am sending a new Shepard. My government is being established, and many of my people shall be ashamed when I turn from those who persecute my little ones.
You, my body in the earth, shall go forth in these days. I will establish you. You shall seek after the lost sheep, and they shall be restored.
I am coming to Shepard them. But I shall do so in my anointed ones, just as I walked in a body once before.
This body is not made of frail flesh, but has been resurrected, and seated with me in heavenly places. As Jesus and I are one, so to shall we be one with our body.
I want you, my children, to see yourselves as perfectly positioned in my will. You have no reason to believe that you are not exactly where I want you right now.
Some of you have observed that you are not walking in all of my kingdom promises. Yet I would say this...
That right where you are now, is right where you need to be in order to position you for the next step. No, I do not desire for any to live in lack my children. For my word says you shall not want. If you have found yourself in want you can be sure this is a result of a lack of trust in me. A lack of knowing who I am, a loving father who gave all so that his children could have everything they desire. If you have found yourself in want, know that it is the stepping stone that will put you back on the right path with Me. For it is my desire that you would come to the end of yourselves, and allow me to be your God.
No, my children, you cannot provide for all your needs. I intended it to be so. By you trying to do this, it prevents you from being a blessing to others and operating in my kingdom.
Know my little ones that I have heard your prayers. That the things I have spoken over you shall be as I have said. But first you must see things as I see them. I would have you to know the depths of my love for you, that you would never doubt my word or will for you. For in the days ahead this will not be an option, if you desire to fulfill all that I have spoken.
My children, you have taken the next step. You have already decided to move and are committed now. Know that as your weight shifts from where you are now to where you will be, you are taking a gigantic leap forward. And if you will keep striding forward in faith and confidence you shall surely reach your destination.
That destination is my perfect will. This is where I have been leading you my children. No, you have not yet attained to all that I have spoken. However, if you believe my word, that you have been justified, but the blood of Jesus, then you know you are righteous in my eyes. Even though as Paul spoke you may not have yet attained in all aspects. But know that if I call you righteous, then you are righteous, and as such you have attained the promises by faith.
Simply believe this and walk forward in faith, knowing you have already attained. As you do this you will find yourself coming into perfect agreement with my will and my word.
Know this that right now you are perfectly positioned, not to stay where you are in the fire, not to stand still, but to move forward. For is it not wise that if you are being burned by the flame to get out of the way?
My fires of trial are not meant as punishment my children. No, they are my grace, which encourages you to move forward. Ever closer to me. Stop looking at these trials as something you must endure forever. But instead as a gentle encouragement to go forward, to press into me. As you press closer to me, you will find that the trials will become less and less severe as your perseverance, strength and trust in me increases.
My children KNOW this! That in my perfect will there is nothing but peace. It is when you walk contrary to my ways that I must correct you, that you would not wander to far from the straight and narrow path.
IF, my children you find yourself in a place of discomfort, STOP !
You are going the wrong way. It matters not how far you have strayed off the path. But the further you go, before you correct, the bigger the waves are that will be needed to get your attention.
Worry not that you have gone astray, simply humble yourself before me and run, like the prodigal son, run as fast as you can, into my arms.
As you do this, you will find that you must let go of the things that are not of me. In this I will strip away what is of you, leaving place for new revelation, new light, and more of my love.
My arms are always wide open and you are always welcome my little ones. Make the decision that you are going down the right path from here on out. You may not be able to tell which is the right path, but trust that I will always lead you true.
Use what I have just spoken as your guide....Thus says The Lord.
