“The key actions to success in My kingdom is (1) hearing from Me, (2) submitting to Me, and (3) obedience to Me. If you desire blessings, fulfillment, success and relationship with Me, then you must daily seek to apply these three actions in this order. If you seek Me with all your heart, soul and mind, you will find me.
For he who has ears to hear, will hear what the Spirit says, for My sheep hear My voice and follow Me, and won’t follow a stranger. I have placed My Spirit within you to be able to hear from Me. Those who are not mine, without My Spirit must first come to Me, and become part of My flock.
Those who don’t hear from Me, who claim to be mine are not committed to listen, neither do they desire to let Me become Lord over their lives. I only come to those who are willing, and chose to be one with Me, and become the sheep of My flock.
The goats will be separated from the sheep in the end. For the goats carry the sin burden, and are released in the wilderness to wander. I cannot come to those who are filled with sin.
In order to have sin washed away, there must be submission. Christ submitted himself to My will, through the ultimate act of submission, which was the sacrifice of His own life for the benefit of others, and according to the My plan and will.
We too are to submit our lives to die to self, and give ourselves over to the will of the Father. If I AM not Lord over you through submission, then you are like the goats, and not a sheep.
Obedience is linked to submission, for without obedience, the evidence of submission does not exist. Instead, the evidence is that of rebellion, the source of sin. When a person continues to sin, the evidence is that I Am not in them, nor with them.
That is why scripture says that by their fruits you shall know them. Those who are obedient to Me are truly sheep of My flock, and I will lead them to green pastures, take care of them, and protect and bless them, for they are mine.
