...."[Earnestly] remember the former things, [which I did] of old; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure and purpose".... Isaiah 46:9-10 The Amplified Translation

...."He who is faithful [obedient] in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much".... Luke 16:10 NASB

"perfect obedience" - the seeking after and gaining a revelation of God's Will and, THEN, carrying it out to fulfillment from beginning to end [regardless of how long that may take] in the unction and power of the Holy Spirit.

Obedience is not only NOT "good intentions" and/or "good works" but it is [in the exercising of our faith and trust in the Father] the purest form of love we can show Him [in this earth], and the very catalyst for His love to "continually" be shed abroad in our heart - SO THAT it might continually be poured out towards Him and, also, upon all those who cross our path [through our obedience to God on their behalf]. This is a very important topic as far as one's entrance into the "fullness" of true Kingdom-living. Many still attempt to try and get God to do something for them [in their own strength and understanding - and on their "own" terms {which of course is not "faith" or obedience at all} - perhaps as the result of what it took to "get something" from their earthly parents] when, in reality, it is already "done" [looked after by Him Who knows "the end from the beginning"] in the spiritual realm by our loving Father. The "good works" which "God prepared beforehand" [from before the foundations of the earth] in Ephesians 2:10 refers to the reality that our path has already been layed out [in Christ] - our task then is to obey in even the smallest details [as a matter of fact it is learning to be faithful in those "small details" that will empower us to be found faithful in the "larger things" {and they will be LARGE!} that are about to manifest - hence the intense and very long refining process the remnant Church has experienced] KNOWING that, as we do, we will just simply walk out [both now - and in the fullness of time] ALL that we were created for, in Christ and, in the process, appropriate EVERY blessing [financial and otherwise] that was "uniquely" prepared for each of us from before the foundations of the earth. This is the beauty [and simplicity] of the true Christian life: we are called to gain a revelation of the Father's Will [Word] by drawing near to Him and, THEN, in gaining that revelation, simply trust a PERFECTLY trustworthy God - thus allowing Him to unfold things in HIS perfect order. Of course, there is the Enemy and the soulish attachments that are a bane [poison, hindrance] to one pursuing the Will of God with ALL of their heart but God is faithful to finish the work that He began in us and bring us through to the end - again, perfectly. These days [even years] of intense preparation will SURELY be found worthwhile [both now and throughout Eternity] - and that is a vast understatement for sure!

...."Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass".... 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 NASB
