PRESSING TOWARDS FULL MATURITY
7/13/22 PRESSING TOWARDS FULL MATURITY
Yesterday while standing at the sink I heard the Lord say, I am bringing you into the fullness. I understood this meant moving into full maturity. For me this is related to temperance, submission, and walking in the Spirit, subduing my flesh.
I noticed for this Hebraic year, 5782 I was hearing the buzz word MATURITY. I suddenly realized He has been focusing on that. When coming into full maturity, the Lord works on obedience, self discipline/ temperance and death to self. This has been a hard year for me in trying to rule over my flesh. I have not given up and I keep trying. I have been determined to find ways to gain victory in areas I have struggled in regarding self discipline. Exercise is one of those!
One of the things that is helping me right now is my new Habit App, where I have “tasks” that I click off each day. They are sorted differently and the end of the day tasks are to reflect on my day. I have a list to reflect on and mark whether I graduated that day! Some days I fail tasks, others I pass. My track record is that I am improving now that I am finding a way to put concentrated effort into it.
Since I am partnering with the Lord on this, in an effort to grow up, when I messed up I was struggling over my faith to take authority over the demonic. Basically condemnation (which comes from walking in the flesh and not the Spirit) was attacking me and this was undermining my faith.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
I was VERY blessed today when I heard the Lord speak to me about this:
HEARD: Your authority is not based on your righteousness. It is based on Mine.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he has made him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
The fact that I stand in Christ’s righteousness that He imputed to me, really kicked that condemnation down. I was so grateful for that.
I remember John Paul Jackson taught on authority being rooted in a relationship based upon submission to the Lord. And the Lord taught me that 1st you submit to the Lord, and only then do you resist the devil and he will flee.
Matthew 8:8-10 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it. 10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
-James 4:6-10 But he gives more grace. Therefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
UPDATE 7/21/22
I felt impressed to do a search on some of the rhema for this year regarding maturity. I was very shocked to find these 2 inserts about 2022.
3/02/22 SHOCKING FROM BOB JONES 2022 MATURE EAGLES!
Lynn (Bonnie Jone’s son) said that Bob prophesied about the eaglets in 1989 and they would come into maturity in 33 years. 1989 – 2022 = 33 years.
Wow that is a revelation as to the deepest meaning of the word GRADUATION. Last fall He told me we had graduated.
9/27/13 MATURITY 7 YEARS OLD IN 2022
Yes sweetheart, almost done. Should we tell her? 9 more years. There she is, 7 years old. [Number 7 represents full maturity or completeness.]

MATURITY IN HEBRAIC YEAR 5782
Inserts for this year regarding maturity.
9/15/21 A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE – COMING TO FRUITION
A way to look at this differently. It’s not about birthing, its about becoming…. Maturity. The fullness and stature of My image.
2/01/22 EYES OPENED WITH FULL MATURITY
Very precious child. I bore you on My wings to love. I carried you to a new place. It’s in heaven sweet one. Up here. Can you hear Me?
Maturity. Yes when you grow up fully. Your eyes will be opened and then some. At will, yes. You will hear Me now. You will see Me later. Lots of ah-ha moments. (Revelation where eyes of heart are opened)
7/7/04 WATCH DUTY TO SEE GREAT DISTANCE
You shall see great distances in the future coming up. I saw the scripture: Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; (Eph 4:13-14 NKJV) Marked to become a full man. This is My will and way in every way. Grow up. Into maturity.
11/08/09 FULL MATURITY WITH COMPLETED EYE GATE
Gift to see. I will show you. All that is. Full maturity comes with a complete eye gate.
I have become convinced that if I want to grow up into full maturity I need to have my eyes open to see both sides, but ONLY under extreme discipline to partner with the Lord’s focus and purpose.
Maturity. Growing up naturally. At your own pace. Not someone else’s.
WORD TO PONDER: FOLLOW THE LORD’S PACE FOR YOU 2/12/22
Precious child, I have called you to march at the pace of a different drummer. Who is that drummer? It is you and I as we walk united as One in fellowship. When you feel pressures from others to change your pace – check your feet. Are they marching in peace? Do you feel hurried, stressed, pushed, exhausted, or do you feel you are going at a snail’s pace… what really matters?
Your level of maturity, your level of growth is only within Me. I alone hold the keys to draw you, stretch you and mature you. I AM the Master Farmer Who waits for My precious fruit of the earth. I send your rain, your food, your equipping, all you need to grow up and advance My kingdom. My timing is perfect in your life. You are not too late and not too early. You are just right and what I have planted inside of you will come to full maturity in My kyros time.
Set aside the expectations of man and put your eyes on Me. Just like the wind and the water, sometimes I rush fast and sometimes I linger. Watch Moses as he slowed his pace to turn aside towards the burning bush. Life with Me is rarely about the goal, but the journey dear one.
Ac 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
4/27/22 COMING INTO FULL MATURITY
One seed at a time. The power of a seed. It holds a miracle. Everything you need is inside of you. Me. To full maturity. Oh what joy and pleasure to see My crop of godly ones comes to fruition. Watch them align with My will and purpose. Organized. Line upon line.
6/23/22 SPEEDY MATURITY AS I LAY DOWN MY FLESH
I saw giant flowers grow up really fast. They grew to full maturity. Obedient one. I am proud of you daughter. Thank you for trying. Laying down your flesh. You can do this. I am giving you strength. Reliance on Me. That is the key. The just shall live by faith.
Ga 3:2-3 This only would I learn of you, Received you the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?
7/13/22 CONFIRMATION THE LORD’S RESPONSE: ALIGN WITH HEAVEN
I turned in Anna’s bible and had a quickened eye glance at her side note. It was a riddle she had heard! I think the Lord is saying it is a parable that our walk does not want to coordinate with His transfiguration of our mind, which is where heaven and earth agree. I looked it up on the computer and her interp agrees.
ANNA 9/4/92 pg 5322: FLESH AND SPIRIT WARRING
HEARD: I don’t know that the feet want to coordinate what the rest is doing. Both heaven and earth are the transfiguration of the mind.
ANNA POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION:
I turned to this passage. He appears to be saying the physical man is not carrying out the wishes of the spiritual man. It takes the cooperation of them both to achieve the renewing of our minds.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
PRAYER: Lord our spirits are willing, we truly want to come into full maturity and fully please You. But we have a problem Lord, You did not tell us to resist our flesh and it will flee. You told us to crucify our flesh. We are not able to nail our own flesh to the cross because we will always have one hand free. As You renew and change our mindsets, strengthen our will to just say NO to our flesh and YES to the fruit of Your Spirit of temperance/ self discipline, obedience and death to self self into the full maturity of Your image. Let us hold onto the hope that within the sufferings of our flesh, Your glory will be manifested and revealed in us.
Proverbs 25:28 He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Romans 8:18-19 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
