12:33: “I would have your all. Let me talk to you about your ‘all.’ For I have said this to you many times.
“Your ‘all’ means nothing is withheld from Me. Nothing in your life remains under your sole decision. Your schedule day to day – do you ask Me what I would have it be? Whether you go somewhere or not – do you ask Me? Whether to buy something – or not. When to speak. What to speak. When to keep silent.
“Regarding voices – do you ask if a voice speaks from Me? Or do you make that judgment yourself? Regarding any judgment – where does it come from? On what is it based? Only on your past experience? On whether you like the thing or not? Whether it makes sense to you at the moment? Do you expect to understand everything I say and do immediately? If you don’t ask for My judgment, you may cast aside something that is from Me. Oh yes – you have done this many times.
“Your ‘all’ means constant communication with Me. It means asking for My leading moment-to-moment – and a willingness to quickly obey what I tell you.
“Your ‘all’ means letting Me direct your thoughts. It means constantly listening for My guidance. It means a willingness to learn how I communicate with you. What My Voice sounds like. I have many ways of speaking to you. Do you know them all? Do you ask for My teaching on how to hear?
“Your ‘all’ means letting Me shape your desires. A heart tuned to Me will have only the desires I put within you.
“Your ‘all’ is how My Son lived on earth. He only spoke what I told Him to speak. He only did what I told Him to do – and in the precise way I told Him to do it. Again – constant communication.
“Your ‘all’ is allowing me to shape every part of you into what I want you to be.
“‘I surrender all.’ A song known to many of My People. Easy to sing. Easy, even, to sing and mean it. But do you live it out day to day, moment by moment?
“Have you asked Me what part of your ‘all’ you have not fully surrendered to Me?
“Ask Me.
“Whatever is not fully surrendered to Me does not have My full protection. Think on this. Understand the ‘why’ of this. Ask Me for help in your understanding. I give My People much grace. Far more than you realize. Yet My Grace will not cover all that you continuously withhold from Me – especially if I have been speaking to you about the subject, and you’ve chosen to ignore.
“Let Me speak of this another way: everything you purposefully give Me and place under My guidance can then be shaped by Me. Without ME in it – you’re doing all the shaping. Does this sound best to you? Might I perhaps carry more wisdom in the matter than you?
“My People, get on your knees before Me and ask Me about your ‘all.’ Amen.”
