God’s sons. If things remain as they are Yahweh will have to come and strike the earth with
a curse. To prevent this, Yahweh will send Elijah before the great and terrible day of His
judgment. Elijah will turn the hearts of God’s sons back to Him. Elijah came before the
firstborn Son of God was revealed to the world, and Elijah will come again before the end
when the full number of the firstborn sons of God are revealed.
The Elijah ministry will be one of casting down all idolatry in the hearts of God’s
saints. Even as Elijah confronted the children of God at Mount Carmel, telling them to
choose who they would be devoted unto, Yahweh or Baal, he will come again and demand
that the people of God choose. It is unacceptable unto Yahweh that His sons should have
divided hearts. He will not allow any son to enter into the glory of the firstborn who has a
divided heart.
I Kings 18:21
And Elijah came near to all the people and said, "How long will you hesitate
between two opinions? If Yahweh is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow
him."
Today the Holy Spirit would declare, “If Yahweh is truly your Father, then present to
Him an undivided heart. Have no other ambition than to do Yahweh’s pleasure.”
Matthew 22:37-38
“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all
your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost
commandment.”
Yahweh is seeking sons with fiery hearts that yearn to do His will and bring Him
pleasure. He wants sons who esteem all the allure of the world as refuse; its possessions,
its pastimes, its entertainment, its idols. He wants sons who will not be sucked into the
pursuit of things which will perish, but who will jealously guard against any thing that
would distract them from a pure devotion to their Father.
The churches are filled today with Christians who call God “Father.” Yet these ones
do not have undivided hearts of devotion toward Him. They give themselves to a life chasing
after houses and lands and cars and entertainment. They spend their hours in front of the
television. They go to ball games and car races and spend endless time and money shopping
for things they think will bring them happiness. All the while the Father waits for them to
turn their hearts toward Him.
If you would attain to the first resurrection and the glory of the firstborn sons of God,
then you must have a single eye, a focus upon satisfying the heart of the Father who created
you. The Spirit is present within the sons of God, crying out “Abba, Father,” yet the voice
of the Spirit has been quenched and grieved as God’s children have been turned aside to
other pursuits.
Yahshua is the model, the standard, and pattern for all other sons to emulate. Observe
the depth of devotion to the Father in His words:
John 5:30
"I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment
is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent
