Come before Me, My children, with fastings and with prayer for I AM your God, and I desire you to walk in true humility and repentance.  For this is the time and the hour where I will pour out My power upon you, but you must be ready.  You must be a pure vessel to carry My glory and My
power.

Too many in this hour have become deceived in thinking that what they are doing is purely of Me and it is not.  Too many have taken my Words in vain and twisted them to their own justification of what they are doing.  Come before Me with an open and teachable heart, and I will show you the error of your ways in justifying your own works.  I AM calling you to true humility, My people. I AM calling you to true repentance.

If you are willing, I will pour out upon you my gifts that will enable you to walk in My perfect will. I will enable you to stand up bold. You do not need to fear man or any other created thing, because I gave you authority over all the power of the enemy. You do not need to hide your convictions any longer. If I AM for you, who can be against you?

You do not need to compromise your faith.  Walk with Me uprightly not hiding your light in any area, but just shine My love and grace upon others.  Do not hold back in any area that I am calling you to walk in.  Just step out boldly in faith, and I will meet your every need.  Be My people and I will be your God.

What is the true motivation of your walk with Me?  Are the things you are doing from a pure heart of adoration of Me, or are they from a heart of competing with one another out of jealousy?  This is a time to truly examine your heart.  Are you making a name and a fame for yourself, or are you lifting up My name?  You need to truly examine your heart, and be honest even with yourself.

What is motivating most of your actions in ministry?  Is it love or pride?  What is keeping you from receiving all that I have for you?  For My hands are tied when there is willful sin present in your life.  Do not suppress that which isn’t of Me any longer.  Let the truth of your actions rise to the surface so that I can skim it off that you may be clean through and through.

You are My people, and I understand what you are going through.  I have been tempted to sin in every area, but I had victory over it all that I may come through victorious for you that you may overcome.  Pridefulness and deception comes in many different forms for the enemy is so subtle
trying to trip you up in it.

There may be deceitfulness in your own heart, and you not even know it.  Who knows the heart of man, unless I reveal it to you?  That is why I say be open and teachable, and I will show you the error of your ways that you may be humble and broken before Me.  Like the alabaster box, unless it is broken open, the fragrance of the perfume cannot come forth.

So I encourage you, My children, if you want to be used in a great way in My end time army, humble yourself before Me that I may clean your heart.  Cry out for the baptism of brokenness that I may freely flow through you.  This is the time and the hour that I will pour out My power.  But only on those who are ready.  Open up that I may show you the error of your ways, and show you that of your heart that isn’t of Me, for I AM ready to do a total heart cleansing of those who are willing.  Dying brings forth life.  Brokenness brings forth freedom in Me.

Yolanda Ballard of At The Father’s Feet website shares with you, the body of Christ, the words she’s received quietly sitting at the Father’s feet.  I believe Jesus set the example for us to follow.  Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before the Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.
