TAKE COUNSEL FROM ME

 A Word submitted by Shirley Lise

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall run and not grow weary, walk and not faint.
They shall mount up with wings as the eagle. So wait upon Me and do not be in a hurry, for I will thrust you forward at the appointed time. Bask in My love, in My presence, and be refreshed and renewed and made new, for I am doing a great work in the Earth. I am calling down the high places and leveling to the ground those things that have barred My Elect from moving forward in the resurrection power of Christ.

 My ways are high above the ways of men and they will confound the wisdom of the wise. When the piety of men says, "go," I say stop and rest in Me. When the wisdom of man says you cannot go any further, I say that there are no limits and nothing is impossible through Christ who strengthens you. The wisdom of man is foolishness to Me.

Learn the secret of waiting upon Me and you will rise up in the power and anointing of the Lord to accomplish what I send you out to do. Take counsel from Me and not from men. Learn to listen for My still small voice in your Spirit and close your ears to the voices of men. If you learn to do this, to hear with your Spirit, you will not fall into the trap of the enemy to throw you off base.

I desire a people who are wholeheartedly Mine and not influenced by the wisdom of men and although they be tried and tested, they remain firm in My counsel. I am building My church, a people who have been changed in My presence and set free from the fleshly nature, a holy nation, a royal Priesthood, fully matured in Christ. This is the message I leave with you today, hearken to My voice. Come up into Heavenly places with Me and wait upon Me and do not let yourself be entangled in the affairs of men. Take counsel from Me and then act according to My word.
