Selfish

I wrote a review over Driven by Eternity by John Bevere. Excellent Book. Recommended.

Now listening to The Kingdom of Affabel.

Selfish[the character] is the one that brings the most conviction. He got to heaven. He trusted in the Lord. He was influential on earth. But many things he did were 'for his own reputation, his own comfort and concerns, to protect himself'.Therefore, he suffered loss in eternal rewards.

God really spoke to me: Charis, how many things and ministries you do are for your own reputation, comfort, protection? How many are done to build up others and for Me?

I can honestly say that I do many things because of a genuine heart for God and his people. But many more mixed with selfish motives.

God, change my heart. I want to successful, but the way You want me to be. It's really hard, God. But change my heart.

A few things came up during the prayer. She didn't specifically prophesy. But the way she was praying, she was getting stuff from the Spirit. She prayed Prov 4:18 ( The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day)  over me, for some time, stating that God would lead me, and the path would become brighter and brighter, clearer and clearer. I was to have faith. More faith that God would lead me safely and surely. She also stated the need to seek God even more through prayer for his presence and guidance (guilty. It's been difficult to be disciplined about prayer). She prayed and declared that my work would be the platform for many good things God wanted to do through me. The work and the position I had in my work was important, she...
