REPENTANCE
TO GLORY
THE CALL TO EXCEL
submitted by Yolanda Ballard
Come
into that secret place for that is where you will truly find Me and abide with Me, and I
will commune with you and speak to you My plans of how you will defeat the enemy.
Many have been trying and scheming, not realizing that the only way that you can
defeat the foe is by staying close by My side and resting in My faithfulness to set you
free. Realizing that you can do nothing without Me gives you great strength for when
you are weak, I AM made strong in you.
For I have come to take over the battle and to free you up so that you can relax and rest
and worship Me unceasingly. For this is truly the day of the latter rain outpouring,
and I AM preparing My bride like never before. Many have felt that their time of
ministry was over, but believe Me, it has just begun. For I will take you higher in
My power as I strengthen you by My Spirit. I entrust to you My royal robe, My
scepter, My authority, and I put upon your brow My crown for I come to bless you with the
anointing and power of the King...... yes, a kingly anointing of an apostle.
For I have made you all kings and priests, but now I AM calling you higher into the place
of power and authority and might. You know who I AM talking to, those who do not go
for the title but the humility of a meek and humble servant. For those who are great
are those who are called to serve others, those who are called to edify others, and cause
others to excel in their giftings.
Yes, a true apostle is one who does not lord over others. They might oversee the
work being done, but they will not in any form draw attention to themselves. One who
walks in the apostle's doctrine is one who patterns themselves after the lordship of
Christ. If you have the gift and calling, My authority will be upon you and will be
recognized by those sensitive to My Spirit.
I AM calling the body to repentance of robing Me of the glory. All glory goes to the
King of kings and Lord of lords, and you are the vessel I choose to move through.
But you must be a pure vessel. Why give the enemy the right to rob you of My
glory being upon you? For isn't that what you truly desire is to have My power flow
through you to heal the sick, raise the dead, free those from captivity? But you
can't have that if you allow a mixture of mammon to penetrate your lives. For I AM grieved
with those who sell what I freely give. What gives you the right to do this?
Don't you know that you limit the full scope of your calling and giftings by doing
this?
If you think you are touching lives now that there is mixture, much more when you are
free! For the gifts I don't take back, but you limit the power flowing through them
by your lack of sanctification. Yes, you are to be set aside as a sacrifice that is pure
and holy before Me. I call you this day to repentance. Accept this gift by
humbling yourself before Me with a heart that is open and teachable.
This is an important aspect of your ministry. Do not continue to rob My people.
I don't even desire to prosper My people so that they can pay to be taught My word.
What is the calling of the five-fold minister, but to equip the saints for their
ministry to reach the lost?
Separate yourself from the world and its ways. My kingdom is not about business, but
it is about Me. I AM calling the faithful this day to pour out a kingly anointing
upon them that they may walk in the apostle's doctrine and to walk in power and authority.
And just because I call you to be meek and humble doesn't mean that you are weak,
but powerful to the pulling down of strongholds. This day I AM gathering My bride
that they may overcome the snare of the enemy and to rise up in My power and might.
Cast off all deception. It is your choice whether to believe the Truth or a lie for
My Spirit is your guide. I have promised you freedom, and only by walking in the
balance of grace and truth is this possible. So rise up, mighty warriors. Put
on My robes of Glory, My crown of righteousness, and march on for you are the redeemed,
says your King.
