They Will Be Known By Their Fruit...

In the years of ministry, I've realized that too many seek to experience the things of YHVH-God, but have never actually had an encounter with Him. For this reason, most will covet the gifts of the Spirit and yet, will produce no fruit.

Multitudes have chased and follow the signs and gifts; judging one's outer appearance or rumored past. But because of their lack in hearing the still, small, voice of the Ruach Kodesh [Holy Spirit], they are vulnerable and easily deceived; eliminating themselves from becoming one of His elect.

The gifts come without repentance. Christ said one will be known by their fruit, and that a wicked and perverse generation seeks after a sign.

We seek and constantly declare/prophesy mass revivals, yet the scriptures repeatedly tell us there will only be a remnant; a word mentioned 91 times in the bible.

In order to know the instructions of the Lord, one must transition from the outer courts into the inner. For it is in the inner court that the High Priest (Yeshua) awaits: a place of intimacy and communion.

He who dwells in the secret place of El Elyon [Most High] shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty [Saday; El Shaddai]. - Psalm 91:1

In October 2017, I had an encounter where Jesus came to me in a church. There, He stood on a platform with His back turned towards the audience. As it was time for Him to turn around, the piercing white light from His face and being caused the people in the congregation to scatter and run for cover.

This scene baffled me, as I thought the people would rejoice at His presence. However, it was at this moment that the Lord revealed what was happening in the church was displeasing to Him, and not of the true light. He called them to repent and then left these instructions:

He said, "Tell them to seek My face, preach My Gospel, and honor My Passover."

I remember many leaders contacted me in anger after I shared this encounter. 

However, these instructions from the Lord still stand firm today, and even more so as we are witnessing the constant strengthening of the apostate church.

Time is running out. The fulfilment of the time of the Gentiles is near (Romans 11:25) and the hour of testing that will come upon the whole world is at hand (Revelation 3:10).

Repent ye therefore, and turn away from following man, his signs, and his treasures. Stop coveting that which is passing away. And yes, even the gifts will pass away (1 Corinthians 13:8).

Seek to produce [His] good fruit. But remember that fruit is not birthed in an instant. It is produced through the cultivation of one's heart and soul. And cultivation comes through total surrender.

Your heart is a garden, meant to be replicated after the Garden of Eden; a place where the Ruach Elohim [Spirit of the Lord] can commune with you. But for many, your garden is dry, untamed, and produces little.

When was the last time you tended to your garden?

In this hour, the Lord is seeking those who will render to Him the fruits that are due in this season (Matthew 21:41).
