𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝,

This morning the Holy Spirit said to me, "what you are made from is not as important as what you are used for. What's more important is the need you meet as a vessel, the problem you solve, and the value you add, nothing else!! What you are made from shouldn't be the limiting fact of the master's use of you.

We spent the last two weeks dwelling on the Holy Spirit (probably not indepthly), then it became an eye-opener to the fact that God cannot make a man His vessel without first putting His spirit in him. His spirit on our inside is a seal of your service unto God. 

𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫.

What is then honor?

Honor a token of praise or respect; something that represents praiseworthiness or respect, such as a prize or award given. 

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲!!

Several vessels have been dishonored strictly because they did not purge themselves of iniquity. And we must be careful and sensitive to the Holy Spirit because iniquity is not a known sin, it is a sin of the heart. It's a hidden sin. Iniquity work like a termite inside a wood, it continually eats up the wood from the inside until there is nothing left on the wood.  

𝙿𝚜𝚊𝚕𝚖 𝟼𝟼:𝟷𝟾 

𝙸𝚏 𝙸 𝚛𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚛𝚍 𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝, 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙻𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛.

Iniquity is the number hindrance to being a vessel unto honor. We must learn to confess our sins one to another if we must deal with the sin of iniquity (James 5:6).

On Thursday I'll make us understand that purity alone is not a guarantee that you will be used as a vessel unto God.

God bless you
