It is time to take your position and stay as a watchman on your wall. 

Spiritual-watchman
 
Good morning,
 

    It is time to take your position and stay as a watchman on your wall.  The watchman will see and hear that the morning is coming, for the night is almost over and joy is coming in this new morning!  I have placed each one of My children in their most effective station, for the things that will come in this year.  Prepare to succeed, when all others fail who don't know Me.  I have placed upon My own a seal of My anointing which is able to forcefully resist any other agent that will try to break through.  Yet, understand this, that the enemy of your soul will not stand idly by, while you are applying force.  Be prepared to fight the fight to win.  As a watchman you must be able to have eagle vision, to see from afar the schemes and the strategies of the enemy.  Know that he will try to bring a level of confusion to your mind in order to get you to let up.  See, this is not the time for halting.  I will arise because of the groans of the needy and the cries of the faithful ones, and I will put you in a place of safety.  I have not hidden My face from you neither have I forgotten you.  I will counsel you with My eye and by My words.  So, hear and see. 
    I have heard the cries of My children to see more of My presence, and I will manifest Myself to those who are looking to see and listening to hear.  This time will be unique for My children who are seeing and hearing, for the old and the new are coming together to disclose My greatness like never before.  Keep pressing toward Me in worship, for you are closer than you have ever been to breaking through barriers.  These barriers are those that have been set by the forces of religion, this world system, the enemy, as well as the limitations set by your own mind and your generation.  Open your eyes that you may begin to behold the wonders that are Me.  Not just here in this earth realm, but in the heavenlies and also within you.  You are of the God-kind.  There is much more in you than even you know.  Yet, some have tapped into the deep places, the wells of living waters on the inside of them.  It is not only in you to have the ability to create but also in the God-given imagination that is given to produce more uniquely.  I Am removing the lids and the caps off of those who have sought Me diligently and are dying daily to the old man.  All others will be amazed and baffled by what will break out from you.  It is because you have lifted Me high in your heart, now know that your humility has caused you to be lifted high.  Expect to witness My hand as I execute and accomplish My plans upon the difficult and troublesome testings and struggles in your life.  Remember, stand upon the walls and hear and see, do not be easily moved by any other thing.
 
    "So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." (Is. 55:11)
 
    "For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth." (Is. 21:6)
 
    "Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Ps.30:4-5)

I desire a close relationship and partnership with you, one where you lean upon My strength to carry you through.

Devotions
 
Good morning,
 
    I desire a close relationship and partnership with you, one where you lean upon My strength to carry you through.  I have told you that My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  I lighten your load when you choose to cast every care on Me.  Don't allow the cares and worries to shift the weight over on your shoulders, otherwise you would tire out and become exhausted.  I will adjust the weight, so that you may bear it and come out with the victory over them.  I Am well able to carry what you can't.  We must stay in harmony, step by step, you can not be found dragging behind or racing ahead of Me.  Do not be frustrated with life, but rather choose My effectiveness, you will find less struggle, and in so doing you will not be self-sufficient but God-dependent.  If you operate under feeling self-sufficient, you then become prideful and will be easily deceived by our enemy.  His desire is for you to be wary of waiting for My help.  He wants you to turn again to your own arm of the flesh, and to be under your own strength.  I Am faithful to you and My Word, I will keep you, as I have in times past and proven Myself trustworthy.  I will not let you down now in your hour of need.  Will you trust Me now in this new testing and trouble?  Remember, everything that the enemy meant for your harm, I will turn it for your good.  For I will cause you to ride upon new heights and will restore to you all that has been lost or seemingly destroyed.  You know Me, I Am the arms that you can lean upon, do not lean on your understanding, it will not hold you.  My care for you at times of testing is greater by far than you will ever know.  You may not understand at this moment what it is that I Am working out for you, but I Am always ahead of you in preparation.  I require you to pull from My grace daily and when it seems darkest, to remember that My Light never goes out.  My Light keeps the dark from overtaking you.  I Am there with you, whispering words of love and healing.  You will experience for yourself My deep intensive care for that I shower on those who have been in a furnace of affliction.
    Trust Me even now, cast down the strongholds of anxiety, worry, despair, discouragement, and doubt.  Rehearse My Word over your life, knowing that I will supply your every need.  Stop the lies and question of the enemy, that tries to make you not rely on your only Hope.  I want you to be free, not encumbered by so many things that hinder your ears from hearing Me, and entangle your mind with webs of deceit and untruths.  Don't stand aloof and back off from Me, you must come close so that I can minister to you in a greater degree.  I will revive you and restore the joy of your salvation!
 
    "Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me.  Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say.  Then I can show other guilty ones how loving and merciful you are.  They will find their way back home to you knowing that you will forgive them." (Ps. 51:12-13)
 
    "Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]" (1 Pet. 5:6-7)
 
    "For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man.  The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood].  Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.  We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ," (1 Corin. 10:3-5)

What you are doing now counts towards eternity!  As you worship Me now, that counts for your eternity.  As you lift your hands up and adore Me, as you bow before Me it counts towards your eternity. 

 
Good morning,
 
    What you are doing now counts towards eternity!  As you worship Me now, that counts for your eternity.  As you lift your hands up and adore Me, as you bow before Me it counts towards your eternity.  It is what you are doing now for the Kingdom that sows toward your eternity.  The Kingdom has come now, and it is what you are doing now that counts for eternity.  You are laying your treasure where your heart is now!  So if you are lifting your hands now, you will always lift your hands.  If you are singing with glory, honor, and reverence to Me now, you will always sing with glory, honor, and reverence to Me says the Lord.  As you walk and live your life through and by My Word, before Me now says the Lord, it counts towards your eternity.  I will keep you!  And I say unto you, if you would bow your head in reverence and know that I Am a faithful God, a dependable God, a trustworthy God and that every promise I have made to you is, a yes and amen, this is recorded.  I will not go back on My Word, not one bit of it, says the Spirit of Grace but I will fulfill every promise that I have given you, for it is an "even so".  Which means I have sealed it, says the Lord.  All I Am waiting for is for you to line up with My yes and My amen and then we can get this thing done says the Lord.
    For greater things are about to happen in this world, says the Lord, more than you have ever seen or heard.  I protect my own, yet understand this, this does not mean that you will not go through anything, but that you will come through everything says the Lord, if you put your trust in me, says God.  You will not be taken down, but you will be taken over.  As you watch, you will stand amazed at how you are protected as you abide underneath the shadow of the Almighty.  Even as the things begin to flow from the north, the south, the east, and the west, you will be protected underneath My comforting wings.  For that is where you must be found, underneath my wings, saith the Lord.  Go now, to the place of hiding.  Go now to the place of safety and dwell there and live there and begin to learn how to make your abode on the inside of Me.  Staying where your protection is, and then no matter what comes, you will be provided for, says the Lord.  You will be protected says the Lord.  You will have divine assistance.  For even though the winds and storms may rise, it is not against My own, it is against those who have looked to other gods, who have looked to other ways, who have depended upon the ways of this world and the system, and their own strength.  But the system will come down around all those who have placed their trust in those things.  But those who trust in the Most High God, they will be sustained they will be preserved, and they will be uplifted, says the Lord.  I will keep My Word!

     

    "Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice." (Is. 41:10)

   
    "How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings." (Ps. 36:7)
   
    "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us." (2 Corin. 1:20)

You are about to see Me do what I do best, loving you as I make you whole.

Good morning,
 
    You are about to see Me do what I do best, loving you as I make you whole.  As you have grown through the journey of change, you must know that it was Me that preserved you.  It was Me that healed your body, Me that kept your mind sound.  It was Me that walked beside you when others hurt or abandoned you.  I remain faithfully yours. and committed to you.  I HAVE BEEN YOUR COVERING AND YOUR REAR GUARD.  Through every insecurity I made you come to know My security and wholeness.  Now, prepare your mind to know a greater sense of peace.  It comes by casting, at all times, everything that tries to occupy your thoughts.  Simply refuse to let worry and fear remain in your heart.  Throw away all that seeks to destroy your joy, peace, and soundness.  I Am sending a cleansing flood to purge your mind, in order to set your mind on Me.  Peace like a river to wash away all of the dregs that try to cling.  Every day saying yes to Me and My Word, thus fulfilling your destiny in Me.  Whole minds that resist the cloudiness of an unrenewed mind.  There is life in My words and healing for your flesh.  My love filling you up, as you stay in My Word.  It is your source and your lifeline, health to
your mind, body, and soul.  When you encounter Me you will come out with joy and be led forth with peace.  You need moments in Me every day to stay strong, receiving wisdom to be victorious.
    
   My wisdom will come to you as rain coming down from the clouds.  It will come to refresh.  Little by little I Am refreshing your heart.  Listen to My voice in the middle of all voices that scream at you.  I Am peace to lead you in the middle of confusion, increasing all of you.  Rest will come from My refreshing rain to your heart, you will arise in My love and carry out your purpose without delay.  You are My special treasure, My beautiful ones and you will see My promises come to pass in greater measure.  Come out of the storm into the light.  Instead of thorns will come the cypress trees, instead of the brier shall come the myrtle.  Your health and your righteousness will break forth speedily.  I will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth in you.  My special forces of help and deliverance I have sent to you for aid.  Now worship Me in My Word, and you will with your own eyes see Me as your deliverer.  I will bring you into your fruitful places!
 
    "So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance." (Heb. 6:12)
 
    "If you bow low in God’s awesome presence, he will eventually exalt you as you leave the timing in his hands. Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you." (1 Pet. 5:6-7)
    
    "For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; then you will be nursed, you will be carried on her hip and trotted [lovingly bounced up and down] on her [God’s maternal] knees.  As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem." (Is. 66:12-13)

 I Am debriefing My body, My bride in the chambers of the process of purification. 

 
Good morning,
 
    I Am debriefing My body, My bride in the chambers of the process of purification.  I will have a bride without spot, wrinkle or blemish.  This process is now being applied by pressure to press out of her life those wrinkles in her that are not pleasing for My bride to be adorned in.  She must willingly submit to the process, I will not make her, but the process will be a profitable experience for those who will yield.  I AM debriefing her thought process so that she will think as I do.  She has been accommodating herself to the thought process of where she has been temporarily assigned to. 
 
    You, My dear, do not belong to this world, but you are here only to represent Our Kingdom.  You have allowed yourself to assimilate to the nature of this world system, which will be destroyed.  I Am bringing My order and My Kingdom rule to operate here, soon.  I remind you that you are Mine, and I Am coming to receive you to Myself again, for all eternity.  Do not entangle yourself with the affairs of this world, everything, except souls, is temporary.  I have the greatest design and plan for you that is out of this world.  You cannot afford to act or think like this world system, for a little leaven will cause the whole lump to be infected and affected.  Meditate in My Word like never before, find yourself bathing in the beauty of Me. 
 
    There is coming to this world a sudden calamity that will shake all whose lives are not hidden in me.  I Am calling My own to draw closer than ever before to Me.  I desire My fragrance to fill your whole environment, your sphere, the place that I have strategically placed you in, that you might be raptured by My faithful love.  You are My witnesses to this world and I Am in need of you to help save those who would be saved.  This is Our time to accomplish the task that I have placed My faithful ambassadors, My body, my bride to do.  This is the day, the time in which you must be busy building for Us, not the time for selfish ambitions and selfish goals.  We are One. 
 
    Can what you have preoccupied withstand the test of fire?  Is it wood, hay, or stubble?  Does it have eternal value stamped upon it?  For a whole year, I Am allowing My bride to go through a cleansing and purification process, to wash away all that has tried to stick and cause her to smell of this world system.  To purify out of her the blemishes and the spots from here.  The pressure is applied out of love, My desire and longing is to see you be all that I have purposed you to be.  To straighten out the crooked places and to iron out the wrinkles. 
 
    I will have My glorified bride, My church.  She will know and recognize that she is loved by Me.  All that I Am allowing is to bring her to perfection.  Do not be afraid, I will carry you on My wings of love and mercy.  All those who call on My name, yield to My Word, and find themselves dwelling in the secret place will be strong and do exceedingly great things for the Kingdom.  They will not faint nor grow weary but will increase in strength.  A great awakening is on the horizon.  Many will see and know that I am a great God and loving Father because My bride will so herald the News.  She will not be silent but will increase in the crying for all to come and appear with them, before Me.  Holy, consecrated, dedicated, loving, and faithful is My bride.  We will ride victoriously in the time we have and gather many souls for that great Day.  Ride on, My victorious bride!  Keep Me as the apple of your eye and you will not falter, or fail, but will accomplish all that I have ordained for you.  I will not fail you, I Am your champion.
 
    "That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless]." (Eph. 5:27)
 
    "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Tim. 2:4)
 
    "Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;  But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired." (Is. 40:30-31)
 
    "And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]. (Dan. 11:32)

Do not be afraid to take the steps that I Am giving to you.  Walking means having the ability to move to the directed course.  Move now, towards the vision.  

 
Good morning,
 
    Do not be afraid to take the steps that I Am giving to you.  Walking means having the ability to move to the directed course.  Move now, towards the vision.  Do not halt between two opinions.  I will accelerate, I will breathe a fresh breath of life into the plans that I have made for you.  Everything that establishes the Kingdom, will take priority.  As you are busy doing Kingdom business, I will in turn take care of all of your affairs, everything that concerns you.  We will affect every area and walk of living so that no one is missed or untouched by those who are walking in the vision that I have planned for them.  You will affect your nation that I placed you in.  All of Me will blow through this world, for I Am in all of you.  For wherever I send you, there I Am also.  More of Me will be seen, for My people are dying to themselves, so that I may live through them.  My life is expressed through My people,  My plans, My dreams, My vision being fulfilled through My people.  Take those steps towards the destiny that I breathed into you.  Do not be afraid, for it is My breath, the wind of My Spirit that you will feel blowing you onto course.  Simultaneously the same wind will be blowing the refuse off of your course so that you will not stumble over it anymore.  Listen to Me, for the Spirit and the Word give light.  My light brings understanding, revelation as well as clarity.  Yield to My Spirit and My Word.  Both, together are life-giving, We are one.  When you sense the push along the course that I have chosen, it will be by My breathe and My wind.  My Spirit is always leading and guiding you into all of My truth.  My truth here and now concerns your destiny being lived for the Kingdom.  As you move with Us, you will experience a new level of freedom in all that you put your hands to.  We will accomplish the purpose together, and you will delight to look right on, not looking to the right or left, but keeping your eyes looking ahead.  Together we will bring a new day.
    
    This month, you must remember to prophesy-to speak by inspiration.  Inspire yourself to speak that you will walk out the God given vision, blown by the wind of the Spirit.  "He who walks uprightly, walks securely…Whoever walks uprightly shall be saved…whoever walks wisely shall be delivered. (Proverbs 10:9; 28:18 & 26) "So we walk on, securely, saved and delivered!
 
    "And let the beauty and delightfulness and favor of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and establish the work of our hands—yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it." (Ps. 90:17)

 

    "For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day." (Hab.2:3)
 
    Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),  Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is. (Eph. 5:15-17)

 I have placed My deep in you, in earthen vessels.  I have hidden My profound wisdom in you.  Now in this set time I Am taking the cover off of all that lies within you. 

 
Good morning,
 
    I have placed My deep in you, in earthen vessels.  I have hidden My profound wisdom in you.  Now in this set time I Am taking the cover off of all that lies within you.  This world will come to see and get a glimpse of how deep I really am.  This generation will walk in a higher revelation as I disclose to them in more intimate details My plans.  My deep is calling to the deep in you.  No one, including you has seen the real you, but I will give you a preview of what I have invested in you.  Hidden riches in secret places, I have placed in you and now you will discover the realms and levels of My deepness in you.  Treasures that will bring deliverance's, wholeness and insight.  First, you must yield to My pruning, for I Am cutting away the weeds and clutter of living in this world from you.  Next, you must open yourself up, so that you can dispense the heavenly glory to this earth.  My will being done on earth is the greatest move for this set time.  Signs and wonders following you as you yield to My Word and to staying in heavenly places.  You must demonstrate the power of My highest wisdom to this world.  I Am popping the top off of the vast deepness in My yielded ones.  Removing the spiritual cataracts, the cloudiness and obscurity that has kept your feet from swiftly running.  KNOW THIS, THAT THOSE WHO ARE TRULY HEAVENLY MINDED ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TO THIS EARTH.  For you will be the ones that use all that is given from heaven, all the power, all the wisdom, all of the insight and the ability to advance the kingdom in every way, spiritually, physically, financially and in their souls.  Staying heavenly-minded will cause you to accomplish all that is beyond the earth, and man's ability, it is godliness.  Everything that causes heaven to kiss the earth, then you will see My will being done on earth.
     Remember this is the season of completed transition.  Yes, many will make enormous changes that will spare their lives as well as their families.  Do not despair, and fall into the trap of laying down.  Stand up and stay connected with the heavenly promises that I have given to you.  I will cause reform in areas that have laid dormant, look I Am blowing a fresh breeze over them.  Stand in the gap for your nation, stand in the gap for your family.  Heaven has sent you aid from on high, angels to assist in this high assignment.  Each step will bring you closer to destiny.  Your steps taken during this season will be multiplied and intensified.  Don't be bullied or harassed by the spirit of Sanballet, to come down from your assignment, stay on the wall.  For I Am shaking all that is in My house and in this world, so that My glory will be multiplied in you!
 
    "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." (1 Corinthians 2:9)

One sustained sound, the sound that Israel maintained, at the blowing of the trumpets and the shouts of My people that brought the walls of Jericho down. 

 
Good morning,
 
The Spirit says;
  
    "One sustained sound, the sound that Israel maintained, at the blowing of the trumpets and the shouts of My people that brought the walls of Jericho down.  It is this same sustained sound that I Am requiring all that call on My name to do even today.  That one sustained sound can bring you victory and cause the walls of defeat to come crashing down in your life.  The shout of victory that is filled with My Word will break down walls and cause mountains to crumble, and valleys to break open with the hidden springs of life.  Oh, My children, the hidden mines of victories that lie within your mouth and your spirit waiting to open floods of living waters over you!  Deep treasures are about to be explored and brought to the surface for those who trust in My Word and depend upon My promises for them.  As you spend time in worship and in My Word, learning how to wait with expectation, slowly, the treasure that I have already given you, will come and bubble up.  The waves of the Spirit will wash against the rocky places, the hard and difficult ones and reveal what you have in your hands.  Every time that you soak in My presence, the Spirit will consistently remove little by little, the hindrances that have tried to prevent the discoveries that show who you really are.  You are changed by the waiting.  As you behold me, these face to face encounters reflect Me, more and more, until you awake in My likeness.  There are hidden treasures in secret places that have been reserved just for you. 
 
"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Psalm 17:15)
 
"And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel." (Isaiah 45:3)
 
"Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I Am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I Am your God.  I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you with My victorious right hand of rightness and justice." (Isaiah 41:10)
 
    This promise is as good for us as it is for Israel.  God will help us.  With all of this world's future seemingly headed on a roller coaster of troubles, we are encouraged to look to our God for His faithfulness to His own.  We are told, there is nothing to fear.  It doesn't matter what happens in this world system, our foundation will not be shaken.  "God is our Refuge and Strength (mighty and impenetrable), a very present (well-proved) help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be changed and removed and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the sea." (Psalm 46:1-2) God is in the midst of her, (that's us) she shall not be moved: God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning]. (Psalm 46:5)
    In the book of Isaiah God tells us not to fear and not look around in terror or be dismayed.  Dismayed means to look around or gaze about, to inspect or consider; to be nonplussed [cause to be at a loss as to what to say, think or do; reduce to a state of total incapacity to act or decide: perplex, baffle, stump]; looking around in amazement or bewilderment.  God wants us to have no respect as to what is going on now and what will happen in our near future.  Now is our time to keep a steady gaze on God, who cannot be shaken!  Whatever produces fear in you, cannot be producing faith too.  Separate those messages and then fix your gaze on God and you will not fear or become dismayed.  You will always have a reply to terror and dismay, it will be "thus says the Lord."  We will think only on those things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, good report, and things that are virtuous and praiseworthy.  We will only do at all times what the Word says.
    We have God's Word on His present and mighty help at all times and He cannot lie.  "You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both character and inclination] is stayed on You, leans on You and hopes confidently in You.  So trust in the Lord.." (Isaiah 26:30)   "They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed but abideth forever.  As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from this time forth and forever.  (Psalm 125:1,2) We need only keep our mind fixed on His promises and trust that He will do what He says.
    God has always taken good care of His children, even as the rest of the world was shaken by His righteous judgment.  We must trust [be confident in; to be sure and bold; secure as an anchor of hope; to flee to for protection and refuge; dependent upon] in the Lord at all times.  It brings all of His nurturing, Fatherly care and divine protection and provision.  Do not be shaken, but firm and stable, for our God is our impenetrable, unshakable foundation.  He will harden [make us firm, solid; to reduce friction and pressure being applied; to decrease the swelling and raise the melting point; to reinforce; to strengthen or confirm in disposition and feelings] us to difficulties, we will become tougher and stronger instead of weaker!  We will become less likely moved by our feelings, not as easily moved by the swelling up of our emotions and attitudes.  God will reinforce us and raise our melting points, even as the fires of testing rises. Yea, God and us!!!

    “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me." (2 Corin. 12:9)
    
    "And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose." (Rom. 8:28)
 
    "Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress!  Incline Your ear to me; In the day when I call, answer me quickly." (Ps. 102:2)
 
    "Who does great things, [beyond understanding,] unfathomable, Yes, marvelous and wondrous things without number."  (Job 9:9)

Even though you may be walking through the darkest, sunless valley of the shadow of death, do not fear.  I, even I, am there to lead and guide you.  I will not leave you.

 
Good morning,
 
    Even though you may be walking through the darkest, sunless valley of the shadow of death, do not fear.  I, even I, am there to lead and guide you.  I will not leave you.  Lean on Me and I will hold you in My hands.  You will come out into the sunshine that I have prepared you for.  I will bring you to your safe haven.  You will overcome this too, and grow stronger and be more determined than ever to trust Me.  You will come to understand and know that I really know what the best way is for you.  I know that at times, you do not believe I have your best interest in My heart.  You think I have closed My ears to your cries, because it is not the way you would choose.  You are the apple of my eye, trust Me!  I can see farther than you, I know everything concerning you.  Your future is far greater than you can imagine.  If you let Me I can make your life so sweet, you will pinch yourself to make sure that it is you living it.  Will you really trust Me?  Everyday I Am bringing you closer to the end of this place that you are in.  I hear you, I care for you.  You are not by yourself.  I am turning things around and straightening out the crooked places in you, as well as in your living.  I can be trusted with every detail of your life.  I am your Father, and I am dependable.  Most of all, My beloved, I love you more, so much more than you love yourself.  Stop running around to everyone and everything else, come up and rest in My arms.  Take a deep breath and rest in Me.  Fix your gaze on Me.  I truly am trustworthy.  Come on, run to Me, I will be your resting place.
 
    "The steps of a good man are ordered {directed and established} by the Lord: He delights in every detail of their lives.  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him." Psalm 37:23-24
    
    "For he who has entered God's rest (intermission; recreation; repose; to be refreshed and to take ease) has also ceased {be still} from the weariness and pain of human labors." (Heb. 4:10)
    
    "Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.  Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.  Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! (Ps. 107:28-31)
 
Love,
