Are You Part of "The First Fruits" Company?

"There is always a people in every move of God that are a "first fruits company.  But you've got to be hungry enough for that.  You have to be desperate!  The good kind of desperate in God." Dr. (Apostle) Mark Kauffman of Jubilee Ministries Int'l

My spiritual Dad, Pastor Rusty Bowles has also said similiar to me:  "God always has a Remnant." 

Those that are of the "First Fruits company" are strategically placed and strategically"wired" if you will, that they must cross over and taste the grapes and bring back the evidence to those living in the wilderness, that "there IS more" than what they have experienced and more than where they are right now.

Are YOU desperate for more?  I know I am!  Will YOU be one of those that will cross over and taste the  fruit and then lead your comrades into that promised land-which is their inheritance?  Now remember our true inheritance is not found in brick and mortar, or tangible, physical things!  This inheritance is a place in God that will bring all those other things into view and possession.  But our true inheritance is only found in a deep, continuing relationship with Christ. Out of that flows all else.  Seek ye first the kingdom of God...

Will you be a pioneer?  Will you not be satisfied to stay where you are, but instead GO and face "your wilderness" and conquer it and help others to conquer theirs?  There is no roadway in the wilderness-at least not the kind made by man.  
But there IS a roadway through the wilderness that is mapped out and planned by God!  It is written on your heart-deep in your Spirit Man.  It is a pathway of Holiness and it is beckoning to you!  

Holiness means being set apart, consecrated-living by a different standard than that of the world.  The world says, "get there first and get all you can for yourself.  Push, knock and shove aside others if you have to-just get there!"

But the Spirit says, "Go before and open the door.  Knock, shove and push out of the way all that would hinder those who will follow and come behind you."

The first is all about self, the second is all about others. But the neat thing about the second way is that you get the spoils AND you get to share them too!  Seeing others enjoying God and receiving their inheritance is so much more fun than just getting there first and getting something for yourself and hoarding it.  Father's heart is all about giving and sharing!  For God so loved... that He gave... And He keeps on giving!

In 2014 will your life be a testimony of "living to give"?  I challenge you, let's press into God together! Let's demonstrate God every where we go and by doing so we're carving a roadway in the wilderness of this world that will lead/show others to His Goodness, Grace and Glory.

Calling all pioneers. It's time to mount up with wings as Eagles. Time to spy out the land. Time to press and possess. It is time for breakthrough! Don't halt and don't hold back.  Press through, cross over... We're blazing a pathway of Glory, a pathway of Love, a pathway of Integrity and Righteousness.  We're tearing down strongholds and removing barriers.  We're preparing the way of the Lord, till all shall come to the saving knowledge that Jesus is Lord!

The Spirit is calling!  Can you hear Him?  "First Fruits Company- FORWARD-HO!"
