If You Must Labor

RHEMA 11/04/12 IF YOU MUST LABOR, LABOR WITH ME

HEARD: Sometimes in our work, we miss God.

PIX: I saw a label called WORK.

HEARD: If you must labor, labor with Me.

Eccl 3:9-14 AMP

What profit remains for the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the painful labor and exertion and miserable business which God has given to the sons of men with which to exercise and busy themselves. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men's hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to be glad and to get and do good as long as they live; 13 And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor — it is the gift of God. 14 I know that whatever God does, it endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor anything taken from it. And God does it so that men will [reverently] fear Him [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is]. [Ps 19:9; James 1:17.]

Matt 7:21-23 NKJV

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

WORD TO PONDER: IN YOUR WORK, DON’T MISS ME 11/04/12

Beloveds, I have heard your cries as to where is the profit for all your toil? Life is so short and everything you do in your body will be weighed and measured to be burned or rewarded. I have given you the gift to enjoy the good of your labor while on earth. However what I do endures forever.

I have called you to do good while you are on the earth and to plant good seeds to bring forth a good harvest that others can enjoy. It is a tragic day when man faces Me only to find that his labors were in vain. But it is even more tragic when a man labors FOR Me and does it without partnering with Me in the process. I AM all about our reciprocal intimacy of KNOWING each other as you labor. I know you miss Me when you get too busy. And I miss you too! Please heed your yearnings, because in the end when you see the reward for your labors, you do not want to miss My mark and miss ME.

Eccl 3:9-14 AMP

EXPERIENCE 11/18/12: Today I turned with anointed hands to the two Words to Ponders and felt it was a confirmation to my prayers and groanings over labors.

AH: DON’T COMMIT TO MORE THAN YOU CAN CARRY 2/12/08

When your hands are more than full, and you have too much to carry, listen. When you are moving and juggling a lot of issues from one place to another, and there is no room to put them down to rest, listen. Precious ones, heed the cost of commitment. Resist making promises you can not keep. Do not schedule yourselves so thin that you can not keep your appointments. I have already given you assignments and loads to carry, so consider what you already have in your hand.

In this season, I have not asked you to go back and recover something you have lost. I will be giving you an entire season of restoring years of loss. Right now, I want you to concentrate on what you already have in your care and be faithful to move it into alignment with My will and purposes, and not bite off more than you can chew. Please ask Me about new opportunities before making your decisions. You are in danger of losing what you are already carrying if you carry more right now, so stay low and pray.

Luke 14:28-31 NKJV

For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost , whether he has enough to finish it — lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'

Luke 9:61-62 NKJV

And another also said, "Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house." But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

AH: WORK OVERLOAD AFFECTS FAITH 12/18/07

When I grow My body up into oneness, it grows through the establishing of faith. Faith comes only by hearing My Word. Beloved, if you find yourself too busy, it effects your faith and your level of belief because work overload presses fellowship with Me and those who love Me into a small corner of your life.

As you watch and wait upon Me, you may wonder why you are having to wait so long for Me to perform My Word. Some levels of faith can not be built in isolation, but through being integrated with one another in My body. Thus some of My Words are totally dependant upon the level of fellowship and intimacy you allow to reach you. The measure of your limitations is your measure dear ones.

Rom 12:1-2 NKJV

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Rom 12:1-6 AMP

I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

3 For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him. 4 For as in one physical body we have many parts (organs, members) and all of these parts do not have the same function or use, 5 So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another [mutually dependent on one another]. 6 Having gifts (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them: [He whose gift is] prophecy, [let him prophesy] according to the proportion of his faith;
