A Helpmate willing to live by Faith RHEMA WORD (09 / 06/ 08)

“You need a helpmate who is willing to take risks, by stepping out of their comfort zone, and willing and able to live by faith, not by sight. For things will be taking place that may seem difficult, and even impossible, but fear not, for I am with you, and will remain in you, if you remain in me.

Risk is what I require to become great in My kingdom. When I say risk, I am not referring to taking foolish chances, which I have no part of; but what I clearly speak to you, without any doubt, Do it. Be willing to stand in the gap, perform a miracle, or to move a mountain, or do what seems illogical to accomplish My purpose.

Unless you are willing to take a risk for Me, you will never develop the faith necessary to accomplish great and mighty exploits.

The parable of the talents, refer to more than money, talents and abilities; but it is referring primarily to the measure of faith that the servant has. The wise servant had faith, believing that he would receive a good return on his investment.

The foolish servant, because of fear, had no faith to believe his investment would be multiplied; so he wasted his talent by barring it in the ground. Fear destroys faith, and without faith it is impossible to please Me.

Faith comes from hearing My words through scriptures, and through My Spirit. And the second part is faith without works is dead, which requires application and action. Faith is thought by many to be a religious belief, persuasion or practice.

But this is not real faith, because it is based in trusting Me, and through personal experience knowing My trustworthiness, acting in obedience to My instruction, and expecting my word and promises to be fulfilled. This principle is required to be actively practiced by the leadership in My kingdom. They must lead by more than words, but by example. You shall know them by their works.

The question you asked is who should you choose as your help mate? The answer has been given. Someone willing to leave their comfort zone, who seek the fullness of My Spirit in faith, love and power. If your destiny is to lead, you need be someone willing to walk by faith, not by sight, desiring to work in unity as one flesh, growing together to be one with Me in love, so through the two of you,

I can and will accomplish great and mighty exploits. Two are better than one, and two cords are stronger than one. Love is not merely an emotion, but a choice. Love is giving yourself to another to honor and cherish them, holding them in high esteem above yourself.

As Christ gave himself to the Church, you also are to give yourself to the other, putting them above yourself, and becoming as a servant, in order to be great in My kingdom. Be transparent and hide nothing, for the truth will set you free.
