PUT AWAY PHONY CHRISTIANITY
This word began with an experience with the Father this morning. I found myself standing on the seashore beside the Father. There was a jut of land to our left that went out into the water, and it was all rock. The waves crashed into it and the water scattered in all directions. The Father said to me that He is the Rock and those who continue to cling to manmade doctrines that confine Him in little religious boxes, will find themselves broken on the Rock. He finished by saying, “Put away phony Christianity.”
“This statement may sound HARSH to you, but remember that I AM a good, good Father who wants the BEST for you and who wants you to have ETERNAL FRUIT from your life. PHONY CHRISTIANITY does NOT produce lasting fruit, and there will be NO eternal rewards for this kind of life. At the end of your life, I want to be able to tell you, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the reward of your Father.’ PHONY CHRISTIANITY says that I NO LONGER WORK SUPERNATURALLY. PHONY CHRISTIANITY shoulders all the WEIGHT of GROWING in the character of Christ by their ‘TO DO LISTS’ and, yet, they RARELY RESPOND to the LEADING of My Spirit. PHONY CHRISTIANITY bases their ETERNAL SECURITY on BELIEVING THE ‘RIGHT’ THINGS; while My TRUE DISCIPLES have SURRENDERED to the UNFORCED RHYTHMS OF GRACE, and they are learning to WALK in the Spirit and to RESPOND to My voice. PHONY CHRISTIANITY is all about SELF-EFFORT, while a TRUE BELIEVER’S life is marked by SURRENDER and WONDER, as the Holy Spirit forms the character of My Son in their hearts. Their lives are marked by SIGNS and WONDERS. A true Believer’s life will act like a PIVOT POINT that sends people in a WHOLE NEW DIRECTION of LIFE and FREEDOM and opens up for them My SUPERNATURAL ways. This kind of freedom and supernatural life completely THREATEN those whose SECURITY lies in what they KNOW and the RULES that they live by. The PHONY CHRISTIAN will viciously ATTACK those who live lives of GRACE, FREEDOM, and SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS because it THREATENS their CAREFUL LIFE of SELF-EFFORT. They are desperately trying to hide from themselves and from the world that they are DEAD INSIDE and that their lives only produce DEAD WORKS. If they took an HONEST look at their lives, they would see that their lives ALIGN with the PHARISEES and SADDUCEES that My Son REBUKED when He walked the earth. The GOOD NEWS is that PHONY CHRISTIANS can become TRUE BELIEVERS by acknowledging that they have been living out of PRIDE, repenting of living a life of SELF-EFFORT and DEAD WORKS, and surrendering to a POWERFUL, SUPERNATURAL God who will teach them the UNFORCED RHYTHMS of GRACE. Welcome to a fruitful life!”

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thank you so much for this word.
DeleteThan you so much ma'am! This aligns so closely with the nudges I am experiencing with the father. May we all just surrender to His Unspeakable love and enter into His Holy rest. It feels like we are almost there.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I mean, lol!
DeleteThis morning zi had a great burden to pray for these people. All Bible truth will be known.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diana, for your sweet demeanor and your unwavering dedication to the Father. We appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteHad a day of attacks yesterday. I see how easily it can be to be pulled into circumstances. I see how important it is to look to The Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit for guidance. It's their Power that calms the "angry sea". I hope to get more quicken in my spirit for the days ahead. Emotion can get you out of rhythm with Holy Spirit. Satan is always working on a way to trip us up! I'll be immensely happy when everything changes to the Kingdom Age.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
DeleteUnforced rhythms of grace! Place I want to be.
ReplyDeleteAmen 🙏! Thank you Heavenly Father for your continued Mercy and Grace! I know in my heart that you are truly a good, good Father who wants the BEST for Me and who wants Me to have ETERNAL FRUIT from my life. Holy Spirit please continue to guide me on this journey so that I may be known as a TRUE BELIEVER! I acknowledge that I have been living out of PRIDE, I fully repent of living a life of SELF-EFFORT and DEAD WORKS! I am surrendering to a POWERFUL, SUPERNATURAL God who will teach Me the UNFORCED RHYTHMS of GRACE. My hearts desire is to be able to please The Father and to be worthy to hear the words at the end of my life: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’ 🙏❤️🙌🙌🔥🔥
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteI want this so badly. How do I get there? Holy Spirit, I beg you, show me the way. Take all this anger and bitterness from me. Show me your grace. How do I get there? What do I do? How do I lay it all down?
ReplyDeleteThank you a much needed word

Father, in Jesus name we come before you, acknowledging that YOU are the Rock that all waves of ‘worldly religion’ crash against and those who continue to cling to those manmade doctrines, confining Almighty GOD in little religious boxes, will find themselves broken on the Rock. We acknowledge we must search ourselves and “Put away phony Christianity.”
We acknowledge Father, that though this statement may sound HARSH; YOU are the great I AM, and a good, good Father, who wants the BEST for us and who wants us to produce ETERNAL FRUIT from your life. We Declare, in accordance with your will, that PHONY CHRISTIANITY does NOT produce lasting fruit, and that there will be NO eternal rewards for this kind of life. Father, we seek, with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, that at the end of our life, we hear ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the reward of your Father.’ We acknowledge that PHONY CHRISTIANITY says that El Shaddai, Almighty God who created the universes, NO LONGER WORKS SUPERNATURALLY, and that is a lie from the pits of hell. We acknowledge that PHONY CHRISTIANITY asks us to shoulder all the WEIGHT of GROWING in the character of Christ by checking off ‘TO DO LISTS’ and, yet, they RARELY NOTICING or RESPONDING to the LEADING of the Holy Spirit. We acknowledge and resist PHONY CHRISTIANITY which bases our ETERNAL SECURITY on BELIEVING THE ‘RIGHT’ THINGS; we declare we are among Your TRUE DISCIPLES, SURRENDERING to the UNFORCED RHYTHMS OF GRACE, and learning to WALK in the Spirit and to RESPOND to Your voice. We acknowledge and resist the tenants of PHONY CHRISTIANITY which is all about SELF-EFFORT; we choose instead, the TRUE BELIEVER’S life, marked by SURRENDER and WONDER, as the Holy Spirit forms the character of Your Son into our hearts. Our lives, our walk is marked by SIGNS and WONDERS which follow after us as we follow hard after Jesus. We Declare our true Believer’s life will act like a PIVOT POINT that sends people in a WHOLE NEW DIRECTION of LIFE and FREEDOM and opens up for them Adonai’s SUPERNATURAL ways. We acknowledge this kind of freedom and supernatural life completely THREATENS those whose SECURITY lies in what they KNOW and the RULES that they live by. We accept that The PHONY CHRISTIAN will viciously ATTACK those who live lives of GRACE, FREEDOM, and SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTERS because it THREATENS their CAREFUL LIFE of SELF-EFFORT. We know that they are desperately trying to hide from themselves and from the world that they are DEAD INSIDE and that their lives only produce DEAD WORKS. We PRAY for them, knowing if they took an HONEST look at their lives (as we must continually do ourselves, lest we fall into, or back into, that trap), they would see that their lives ALIGN with the PHARISEES and SADDUCEES that our LORD Jesus, Your Son, REBUKED when He walked the earth. We humbly Thank You Father that the GOOD NEWS is that PHONY CHRISTIANS can become TRUE BELIEVERS, as many of us have: acknowledging that they have been living out of PRIDE, repenting of living a life of SELF-EFFORT and DEAD WORKS, and surrendering to a POWERFUL, SUPERNATURAL God who will teach them the UNFORCED RHYTHMS of GRACE. Welcome to a fruitful life!”
…in the matchless name of YESHUA, Amen…
