Christ in you, the hope of glory

Dear Tony,

The reason you have time now is that I said and I know you said last week, nothing physical in this world gives you pleasure any longer, yet I know like your brother Allen you share the burden to speak my Word to the lost, this is why I put you together. Your idleness is the time when I will grow you more in my ways, of waiting, praying reading but the output will not be as you have been but your heart will burn as my heart burns, and when the time is right, My Words will flow from you as they do from all my true sons out to the thirsty world around you. You surf the net, reading multiple rabbit trails, and eat in place of doing what i have commanded you do - proclaim my word.In your time this morning with Chris as you told the story of Allen’s work for me as me reaching out with my burden for the lost whom I came for, in a flash, I could see the penny drop in your mind. You knew what James had said through Chris’ lips that faith without works is no faith at all.

While you have been snagging and processing “A call to anguish” youtube clip for Fred & Bob, you have been operating your mouth and stomach on autopilot, eating constantly, but my son, you are not really hungry are you? this motion has become your habit, as does reading the word and proclaiming to another brother who may agree with you but neither of you and sharing with those whom do do know.

You smelled years ago the incongruity of men so called praying for revival yet there was no anguish or weeping, they were not even on their knees before me but comfy in the chairs, like I said in Psalm 1. You saw it even then.

And now I have separated you from them, and am training you up, you will be obedient to my word. All my children are.

So have I got your attention yet? Wait on me my son, lift you voice to me in prayer, make time with me and talk with me as others have, and I will cause you to walk in my ways.

Not sure? really, do you want me to name a few of your less redeeming ways that still hinder our relationship? gluttony, deceit, slothfulness, disobedience. You eat out of habit, not out of hunger. The flesh of your body rules your mind, not the other way around.

Remember, I’m calling you, not them. Craig McElvain, Mark Seversen, Byron Whetstone, Mike Abare, Bob Lynch, etc, etc, your coworkers etc. I’m talking to you Tony. You are the one hearing my voice now, not them. We have work to do and you are my chosen instrument. I have separated you out for my good pleasure. I know you are burdened for the lost state of the world around you and those who are deceived in your midst.

We are going to fast. Get focused. And you will wait for me. No one will touch you because you are operating under my blanket of protection. Do not fear my son. But listen and obey my every word.

Do you love me more than the world? Are you a man that enjoys darkness and avoids the light?

Lord, crush my independent will, destroy my fleshly ways, so I may used of you to reach the lost in my midst, may family, neighborhood, set fire to me Father, break me so completely, or I will walk away from everything, of course I have no where to go besides you, but what man in my midst bar Allen is authentic? COach me in your word I beg of thee, drive me from this device, break my heart that I am compelled to rise and walk, preach and speak your Word and power to the dying world. We are lost Lord without Your driving force. It’s all a sham Lord. All of it. All faking the one true Church. None have power without You.

My son, you are listening. You heard my plea through Angus and his story (Faith Like Potatoes), you heard me call you through Bro. Allen, and through Bro. Fred, from Len and David Ravenhill. You will and con not act without me so rest in me and I will work through you in my perfect timing, trust in me with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Now go to sleep, rest and awaken afresh for the new day that I shall bring with abundant opportunities. Do it now!
