The time is close, My son, the time is close. Suddenly, there will be a promotion, and it is good for you to desire it, but it is also good that you do not try to force it. It will happen best when it is done in My timing, and not yours. So keep seeking Me, keep hungering for Me and for more hunger, and when the time is right, I will commission you. As you keep being faithful in things I have commanded you to do before, you are building spiritual habits that will serve you well in the time of greater anointing. For it will be required of a man that he be found faithful. To be a faithful steward is a great calling, and a great privilege, but a great responsibility. There will be many temptations to use My anointing for your own benefit; do not do this. The purpose of the anointing is to bring people into the Kingdom, to restore fellowship between them and Me, and to exalt the Godhead. Keep seeking My face for wisdom and determination to do well in this area, which you can do when you submit yourself to Me fully. Do so, My son, and the glory of the Lord will be revealed in you.
