Prophecy by Pastor Ed King
Sunday AM 7/18/04
For there are things that have been started in you some of you many days ago, some of you many years ago, some of you months and weeks ago, some of you moments ago, some of you even now. There are things that have been started in you that I will bring to completion sayeth the Lord it’ll not be left undone, it’ll not be cut short before it is finished, because love always finds a way and compassion always finds an outlet. And what has begun in many of you shall bring you to a place where one day you’ll hear well done good and faithful servant because of the things that have been stirred in you. Some even today, but there are times that you as my children sayeth the Lord that you come to a place where you grow into great frustration and you know your life was created for more than you are doing you know that your purpose is greater than the one you are experiencing and you grow frustrated and you grow weary and sometimes in some cases some even go back to the world because the frustration gets to great. Its not a lack of love for me but it’s a lack of fulfillment sayeth the Lord. And some of you have come up to the edge and you thought well I want to press on in but then you’ll pull back, others come and you look like looking through a plate glass window at a store and you’ll look in and you say could it possibly be one day that that would belong to me and you hear the testimonies and you say that’s ok for them but its not ok for me that would never happen to me. But when you push over the edge sayeth the Lord and you crowd on in things begin to come into focus and the frustrations that you feel, the lack of fulfillment of destiny that you know your living it begins to start happening for you. But there is effort, its not going to be on My part sayeth the Lord, its going to be on your part. I’m going to give you opportunities and I’m going to give you chances and I’m going to give you times and seasons but you will have to push beyond the restraints, you will have to push beyond what the flesh, the world and sometimes well meaning people will say to you and you’ll have to push beyond because your destiny lies just beyond the veil and the fulfillment of the purpose that I’ve created you for lies just beyond the veil. Some have said I don’t want to push beyond because I don’t want to find it but those are those who pull back and eventually will end up back in the world because you know I’m leading but you know you can’t go because you won’t go but I have a plan and I have a purpose and its not just for the church its for every individual because the church is my body and each individual is a part of that body. So its not a mission for another its not a mission for one or two or a select few but it’s a mission for my body each one fits and becomes a part in a different way but each one has a purpose. And so the frustrations that you feel are often because you will not press and push because you will not take advantage of opportunity that comes, its not Me withholding from you its you withholding from Me sayeth the Lord and so therefore the frustrations that you feel are frustrations that are directed toward Me your prayers become futile prayers, your Bible reading becomes futile, you read the promises, you confess the promises but yet you experience very little. And its not because I’m unwilling sayeth the Lord but its because you’re unwilling, its because you will not press beyond, its because you will not go beyond and so life becomes a series of continual frustrations, challenges, disappointments, lack, discouragement and just in general, unfulfilling. You have to face another day but you don’t want to, you pray for heaven to come and the end to come and Jesus to come and pull you out because of the frustrations and the lack of joy that you experience but its not my fault sayeth the Lord its because you pull back and you will not press in. I’m not here to condemn you I’m here to encourage you sayeth the Lord because the plan is greater than the one you would plan for yourself, its greater than the one you would experience on your own. I have a place of great joy, I have a place where you can look back on your life and say it was a life worth living. Life is not measured in the years you have, life is measured by the experiences you have. And I’ll give you a life of fulfillment if you’ll trust Me and you’ll push beyond and you’ll take steps and you’ll move out in stride but if you will not it’ll just be another day to make the bricks and a slave to circumstance and a slave to frustration and a slave to disappointment. Oh, I’m blessed you say but what for, so that you can just have another one to stack on your stack of other ones. Life is more than that, life is greater than that so step into My fullness and step into My plan and reach out and do not pull back and watch and see what I shall do for it shall astound even you and that life that seemingly is worthless or not worth living will be a life of joy and fulfillment and contentment and happiness and friendship and relationship and satisfaction for some of you this day are so dissatisfied that you look beyond these four walls and you look out into communities and you look into other cities and you look into other places and the frustration has nothing to do with those around you it has everything to do with your disobedience to me and what I’ve called you to do and what you know to do so don’t blame another but blame yourself for I give you opportunity after opportunity after opportunity and you fail to take it and you fail to receive it and yet would have the audacity to blame another for your disobedience.
