Heart Motives.

What are the motives of your heart when you come to me my little ones? Are you seeking my heart and laying your hearts on the altar of sacrifice to bring forth my perfect will in this hour? Or are you still holding on to all manners of self as you try to do the work of my kingdom out of the fleshly desires of your hearts? I desire a children, whose hearts are set on following the words of the Holy Spirit in all they do, whose motives are pure and who have no other desire than to please me.

I desire a children who want to surrender fully unto my spirit, because they love me more than their own bodies and selves. I desire those who willingly give their whole selves to walk in unselfish love, and according to the leadings of my spirit. I desire pure hearts in service to me, purified by my fire. I do not desire my children to walk in self - and in impure heart motives that serve only their own agendas and programs. Ask me to show you what is in your hearts children that you can walk in the fullness of my spirit in this hour. The only thing I desire for my children is that they walk with me in the fullness of what I have for them in this hour.

Search your hearts children, examine your motives, and see that your motives are pure in service to me. Some of you have allowed pride of self promotion to contaminate your hearts in service to me. You have come to me with pre-conceived ideas of what you want done in the kingdom, and what you want accomplished now in the kingdom. Self agenda and promotion have propelled many of you into self exaltation that has tainted my work through you. These works are birthed out of self, and they are deadly works of the flesh.

So repent, my child, come to me this night, ask me to show you whatever is not of me in your hearts, so you can repent of it. Repent of all that is not of me that is trying to rise up in you now. Repent, and I will cleanse you with the consuming fires. I desire that you will walk in.
