You must become NOTHING and HE must become EVERYTHING!

It is not about what great things you think you can do for God for that would be prideful and still you would be full of yourself. It is about what great things God can do through you as you die to yourselves, submit, obey, and become nothing!

Can the created being tell the creator what he/she will accomplish or do for the potter? Does the created being own his/her talents? Does the created being own his/her spiritual gifts? Your ability to discern and calculate 2+2 = 4 is by Grace and from HIM. Therefore, what is there to glorify in yourselves? Even to know salvation and Jesus Christ is by Grace for scripture says unless the Father draws you, you cannot be drawn to HIM. You did not find HIM, HE FOUND YOU!!!

Too many of God's people out there are really working for themselves and for their own glory using God's name. They think just because a calling or Word has being spoken over them and since they have some knowledge, and some gifts, they think they can now conquer the world with the gospel. Rather than waiting for God, they have left God and went ahead. As a result, many Ishmael ministries have been birthed by the flesh. Observe the fruit of people. Observe the fruit of their ministries. Perhaps, God is not even there and HE had left a long time and now judgment is the end result. Do we even know the judgments of God to know if we need to repent? In the OT and God does not change by the way, HE had brought the sword (war), pestilence, and famine. You must discern your circumstances as HE is trying to speak to us since many cannot hear HIM in their hearts because it had hardened.

It is not about your enthusiasm. It is not about your emotions. It is not about how much you want to do God's Will. All about you must DIE to yourself! This "I, me, and myself" must die to yourselves! HE requires FULL surrender. Do you know what this means, full surrender? It means that your will has been subjected to HIS Will and Time. You are to have become nothing! Unless we become nothing, HE cannot become everything in us. But so many of us resist the Holy Spirit because we want to be something. So many of us want to shine for ourselves among men. We are so worried about what others think about us. So many of us want to be acknowledged by men. So many of us want our own desires that are contrary to God. So many of God's people still lack faith! It is NOT about "I just want to do God's will!" But rather, "YOUR WILL BE DONE IN ME!" Understand the terms of Full surrender and get rid of the word "I" for yourselves. If we are to become nothing, then why does this word, "I, me, myself, what about me" continue to rise in us?

John 3:30
(AMP) He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so.]

You ask what are you to do for God? Whether you think you have been called to be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, preacher, or teacher, all of you need to just go back to basics for so many of us have lost their simple ways to God. So many of God's people like the the days of old are forsaking HIM. Do you not realize, if you forsake HIM, HE WILL FORSAKE YOU! Just go back to basic and spend time with HIM each day worshiping, reading, and praying. Wait for HIM!

2 Chronicles 15:2 (AMP) And he went out to meet Asa and said to him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him [inquiring for and of Him, craving Him as your soul’s first necessity], He will be found by you; but if you [become indifferent and] forsake Him, He will forsake you.

I heard a testimony. There is a popular contemporary Christian Korean singer who spoke about her step mother. About sixteen years ago, her step mother who is also a Christian singer got cancer. The step mother was on her way to death. So she ask God, "I am about to die, what do you want me to do, Lord?" HE replied to her, "Just worship and praise ME!"
So before church service, she would go an hour early and she just praise and worship God by herself. Within time, she had become healed.

You and I were created to worship and praise HIM and since many are failing to do this, we have fallen to the many ways of the flesh and thus many of us are sick and without HIS rest and peace. If we return to HIM and into HIS presence, will HE not heal us? Will HIS Glory not heal us? We are not healed whether that be spiritually or physically because we have stepped out of HIS presence and we worship HIM with our lips rather than our hearts. Our hearts are calloused. The pharisee spirit is still much alive and operating today in many of us.

We have created our own veils preventing us from entering the Holy of Holy through our own sin. Ask the Lord to search your hearts. Unless you enter into HIS presence through prayer/worship, how will HE speak and show you? Return to HIM. Humble yourselves, repent, and return to your first Love. Make a choice to stop sinning and leave the things of the world behind.

Matthew 13:14 This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says,
‘When you hear what I say,
you will not understand.
When you see what I do,
you will not comprehend.
15 For the hearts of these people are hardened,
and their ears cannot hear,
and they have closed their eyes—
so their eyes cannot see,
and their ears cannot hear,
and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
and LET ME HEAL THEM.

HE is willing to heal us but we must turn ALL of our heart to HIM.
