today want to do something for God, but what He wants is for His children to trust Him.
This is not in any way a contradiction to what has been said in this book thus far. God wants
our lives to be full of obedience and activity, but the activity He desires is that which He
leads us to. As we mentioned in a previous chapter, we are being conformed to the image
of Yahshua the Messiah and Yahshua stated that He never did anything of His own
initiative.
Yahshua’s life was far from inactive, but His activities were those the Father led Him
to. God is always the initiator of the deeds He would have us to be involved in.
Ephesians 2:10

those who trust God for the forgiveness of sins, there are few who will trust Him with their
lives here on Earth. However, when He does find such a one, God will move heaven and
Earth on their behalf.
II Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of Yahweh move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly
support those whose heart is completely His.
God has an inheritance for His children, but it will require faith on our part to acquire
it. The Bride consists of those who trust God and who willingly place their lives and their
