Good morning,

     I Am coming as a great light and a fresh fire flowing as a fountain to all who have kept their flames lit.  You are about to experience walking up and down in My name as you recover things that were stolen or that slipped by you at this past season.  You will walk boldly as you hold the fire that burns as it goes.  This fire will begin to burn away the forests that have kept you from seeing clearly.  Wake up, wake up, for I Am surrounding you with fire and it will be for glory in your midst.  I Am a consuming fire and a Refiner.  You will begin to rejoice at all times as one who is intoxicated with new wine.  Yes, I have squeezed forth new wine from the grapes that have been produced during this last season of trouble.  A change must now come, one that is fueled by the fire that I have ignited in you.  It must be to pray for all that do not know Me or obey Me.  There is a fire igniting for them as well, but not for purification.  There are dual purposes going on at all times.  This same fire will purge some while destroying others.  All who do not love Me will begin to feel this heat turning up on them.  It is time now for you to be about the Kingdom's business.  Snatching souls from the fires that they have set by rejecting Me.

     Harvest time has come near in My own field.  There is a dividing line to separate between the tares and the wheat and the sheep and the goats, that have grown and grazed together.   Those that are genuine must be holy still.  You must keep guard and stay in the love of your God, expecting and waiting patiently for the mercy for eternal life.  Do not grow weary in doing right, for your season of recompense is upon you.  I will make a known difference between who is Mine and those who are not.  Just as the world will experience signs and wonders in the sky and upon the earth, they will experience a new level of signs and wonders being exhibited from My children.  We are about to do awe inspiring acts, they will know that you are not of this world!

     "But you, beloved, build yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy but with fear, loathing even the clothing spotted and polluted by their shameless immoral freedom." (Jude 20-23)

     "But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed [weeds [resembling wheat] among the wheat, and went away. So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the weeds appeared also. The servants of the owner came to him and said, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have weeds in it?’  He replied to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants asked him, ‘Then do you want us to go and pull them out?’ But he said, ‘No; because as you pull out the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.  Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First gather the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; but gather the wheat into my barn." (Matt.13:25-30)
     "May our God come and not keep silent; Fire devours before Him, And around Him a mighty tempest rages." (Psalms 50:3)

Good Morning,
 
The Spirit of the Lord says;
 
     I know that you are going through a tough transition, yet I have not forsaken you.  This will open up for you a large place, a place where you will begin to trust and lean on Me like never before.  As you have shifted, you may think that you have lost loved ones, positions, careers, and even ministries.  It is not over, I Am working on something for you.  I have always had a good plan for you, and it is My plan that will prevail.  I have seen the tears and the heartaches, the times of feeling rejected, or cast away.  You were never rejected by Me, no, never.  I have waited for you to turn all of your affections and desires to Me.  I will be all that you need, but you must renew your love for Me.  I will fulfill the longings of your heart and heal your brokenness.  I will give you a heart that thinks like Me.  You will then see that you have not really lost anything, instead that you have gained more ground in Me.  As you begin to shake yourself free from the cares of this world, you will awake to see the new light that has arisen over the obscure places that you have tread upon.  I will send men to help you and send you help from on high. 
     Distractions of this age have tried to occupy my children's thoughts.  They are led astray by their thoughts.  I have given you a sound mind, but you must keep your mind stayed on Me in order to keep it sound.  Many are falling away from Me, because they no longer spend the quiet moments with Me in worship.  They are careful and busy about many things, so that from dawn until night their thoughts are not towards me.  It is My peace that I have given to you in the past that guards your thoughts and your emotions.  I say to you, to be concerned about your true Love.  I Am the One.  Too many lovers make you an unfaithful lover.  When was the last time that I was the only One on your mind?  I Am a jealous lover, I will not have any other love before Me.  Come back to Me with the simple believing love that you once had, and I will receive you to Myself and restore to you the joy that you had in serving Me.  If not you will miss My next move, you will not be able to see, for your other lovers will detain you and keep your eyes covered.  You must come to Me again as a virgin lover.  Depend on Me, I Am trustworthy.
     "He brought me forth also into a large place; He was delivering me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me." (Ps. 18:19)
     "And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee." (Jer. 1:19)
     "But be on guard, so that your hearts are not weighed down and depressed with the giddiness of debauchery and the nausea of self-indulgence and the worldly worries of life, and then that day [when the Messiah returns] will not come on you suddenly like a trap; (Luke 21:34)

Good morning,
 
     Fresh new manna, yesterday's manna is not what I want for you everyday, for it will be like worms in your spiritual body, eating and destroying those things that I have given to you for life.  So why not partake of the fresh and the new that I Am giving to you.  Every time you come into the dwelling place of your Father, I feed you fresh new manna.  I give you those things that pertain to this day.  That is why My word says, I will give to you this day your daily bread, enough for you to eat upon, enough to take care of the things that come your way, the cares, the trials, the tribulations, the worries, the fears, all those things that would try to hinder you and stop you from advancing into Kingdom plans and  purposes that I have destined you for.  Yes, the enemy is sly and he is sneaky, cunning, and crafty, that is who he is, but I have caused you to see with My eyes the plans of the wicked one.  Every trap, every ensnarement, everything that he has planned against you, I have given you eyes to see and most of them derive from the place of fear, doubt, and unbelief. I Am causing new insight and an opening of your eyes, the clarity of your hearing to come.  It is a season of seeing and hearing and if you will stay with Me in this place, under the shadow of your Father, your God, you will not be moved.  You will not be touched and hurt by the arrows that fly by day for I have caused you to come into a secret place, a place where you ears are attentive to My voice and My voice alone.  All of the voices that are speaking to you, and there are many says the Lord, many cry out for your affection and your attention, many cry out to be heard but I have silenced those voices.  Stay under the shadow of the Almighty, you can hear clearly the things that I Am saying and with vivid clarity.  Clear vision and keen hearing will be yours, and you will walk in the light of the Word, walking in understanding and insight and knowing your Father intimately.  Know My voice and know My plan and know the destiny I have set up for you.  I have planned for you a good life, because I knew you long before you knew anything about yourself and I made a plan for you and I stamped a seal of approval on that plan and I said, it is good.  My way is good and know that even as you walk through the valley you are not alone, I am there with you.  I am the one who brings you out into the place of light, into the place of seeing, into the place of understanding.  Even in those dark places I shine My light so that you are never, never alone.  I Am walking you through to that high place, to that calling, to the promise land.  I have never forgotten one word spoken, not one and I am seeing to it that those things come to pass and even as I bring you to that promise, the things that you are walking through, the places that you are going, they are designed to bring out the best in you.  All these things will work together to make you stronger, to cause you to be in a place of dependency on Me. Trust Me knowing that I Am your provider, I Am your friend and counselor.  I will not forsake you, I will call you up higher, for those who humble themselves, I Am calling you to a high place. 
     "We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose" (Rom. 8:28).
     "You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word." (Ps. 119:114)
     "Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me." (Ps. 23:4)

Good morning,
 
     My children have encountered many giants in their land.  I Am calling to your remembrance that you are "giant – slayers"!  Do not allow that enemy of Ours to think that you are afraid.  Run towards that lying, loud-mouth enemy and silence him with the Rock.  You have been given My Word in order to raise the standards, you are never to lower yourself to the level of your enemy.  Do not let him bring you into his way of fighting, no, you must pull him into Our ring, Our way.  As you make that stand and keep your standard high the enemy will see that he cannot pull you down.  I have made you to be a threshing instrument against him, with My word in your mouth, that has been planted in your heart, there is no weapon formed against you that will prosper.  Do not be moved from your place of safety, for as you well know, the plan of the enemy is to kill, steal, and destroy.  Yet I know, that as you stay in Me that you are hidden and inaccessible to him.  I Am your Victor and your Champion!  There is no defeat in Me, I will teach and train your hands to war.  I say to you My child, fear not, for I have already overcome this tactic of the enemy.  This way of his is not new to Me, though you may be overwhelmed by the strange fiery trial that has come upon you, I Am not.  I have already decreed that you will come through with the victory and with more wisdom and insight than you have ever had before.  This territory is yours and you will place the victory flag right there, and you will not be moved.  The enemy will back off, for I have placed in you everything needed to conquer and avail in this battle too.  There shall none of My Words be prolonged or deferred any more, but the Word that I have spoken shall be done!  For the visions that I have given to you, they are not vain, and, the prophesy that I have spoken they are not flattering lies, I will perform every Word that I declared.  So stand and do not bow to the enemy.  Hold up the hands that are weary, and strengthen the weak knees, cut through and make firm stable paths for your feet.  Follow me to victory and be strong and courageous.  This is an ongoing transformation, but you will win as you stay wrapped up in Me.  This strange and fiery trial shall pass and you will come forth as a giant-slayer prepared for the next level.  I Am not finished with you, you are My masterpiece and I still have My hands on you.
 
     "Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my keen and firm Strength, Who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight— My Steadfast Love and my Fortress, my High Tower and my Deliverer, my Shield and He in Whom I trust and take refuge, Who subdues my people under me." (Ps. 144:1-2)
     "So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun.  When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives]." (Is. 59:19)
     "So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees, And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured." (Heb. 12:12-13)

  Believe
 
Good morning,
  

     You ask for things and you never receive because you really do not believe My Word to you.  I say to you, if you step into the arena of believing, you ask then believe, knowing that I respond to My children.  If you ask me for bread would I give you a stone?  Believe that everything that I do from this moment on is My sign and wonder in your life.  I can be trusted to keep My Word.  Step in over your doubt, over those things that hinder you, over all the cares and those things that are calling for your attention and affection and simply believe.  Step over into believing and you will see the wonders of your God.  Yes, it is the signs that I have laid up for this moment and this season for those who will believe.  I Am calling all believers to come to the forefront for I Am doing supernatural things, abundant things, things beyond your comprehension, I Am doing them.  For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, and obey those things that I have called them to do you will step into an arena of signs and wonders.  That is what I have called you to,  I said signs and wonders follow those who believe, step into the arena of believing.  
     For everything that I have promised to you is a yes, and an amen.  Quit doubting My word, quit second guessing what I Am doing.  I know exactly how to bring you to your promised land and I have not grown senile, neither have I forgotten the way, for I Am a God who is good all the time.  No matter what is going on in your life, understand My plan is always good and My plan will stand.  My plan is the superior one in your life, if you are a believer, that will stand.  So get ready for the good that I have for those who believe and stand says the Lord.  There is nothing, nothing, and no one that can stop the plan that I have for you.  It is good, can you say with me, it is good.  It is good over your life and I neither stumble nor falter about the plan.  I know the way, I Am the way and all you need to do is follow Me and simply obey and you will come into that place that I designed for you before you were ever known.  See I never change, it was developed before you were ever known.  It is a good plan.  Just relax in Me, rest in Me, lean back in My faithful arms.  I Am well able to hold you, keep you, and  you must not allow any enemy, no demon, no divisive spirit keep you from the plan that I have for your life says the Lord.  It is good all the way through.
     "And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!" (Mark 9:23)
      "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began," (2 Tim. 1:9)
     "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome." (Jer. 29:11)

Good morning,
 
     I Am calling you to remembrance, to remember that you are seated with Me in heavenly places and to look again.  Look again into My eyes, into the gaze of your Father's eyes and see where I Am heading and where I Am moving to says the Lord.  You have been looking at your yesterday and I have promised you great tomorrows.  I say to you right now in this moment, do not hinder your own selves from the places and arenas that I Am taking you to.  Levels that I have planned for you even before you were known, there are destinies that I proved for you that I have not pursued.  Let not another breath pass between your lungs that you do not seek My plan for your life.  I have deeper things for you than what you have experienced, there are paths for you that I laid out, simply obey and follow.  My ways are deeper than yours and higher.  Waiting just for those who will once again trust Me and step out into the deep and walk on the water with Me and see the great manifestation of My glory and of My power that I have laid aside for this generation.  For if you do not wake up says the Lord, from the slumber of sin and the things that keep you going your own way and have kept you in bondage, if you do not wake up I will raise up another generation that will be prompt to obey.  A generation that will be on fire for Me, that will hunger and thirst until I come again.  It will be this generation that will be ablaze, an inferno blazing for their love to Me.  They will bring My glory on the scene in an unprecedented move.  Are you, do you want to be a part of this great eternal move that I Am doing in the midst?  It is in your heart to follow Me and you can hear Me daily crying out to you, "come back from the long place that you have fallen into, come back from that distant place that you have moved yourself to".  Come back says the Lord for there are wondrous things that we have yet to do and I need you to be alert, to be active, to be involved with Me, for there are many mighty works that we must do says the Lord.  Come along with Me and I will raise up that next generation as My promise to them, and you too will see great and mighty things, like the miracles, signs, and wonders that I have written in My Word.  Greater works that men have not yet walked in, you will begin to experience them and see and be a part of them, for I Am faithful to My promise to you.
 
     "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father". (John 14:12)
     "And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also.]" (Luke 9:23)

     "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts, For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." (Is. 55:9-11)

Good morning,
 

     I Am drawing you closer, yet you have been irritable and impatient with Me for you think that I Am trying to take your liberty and freedom from you.  I Am giving you a deeper measure of liberty as you depend upon Me.  The more you yield to Me, the more of Me you will see in yourself.  There must be no more callousness and hardness of heart, simply obey.  I Am nurturing mature sons into My glory.  Do not resist My discipline for it will hinder your growth and your blessings.  Preparation for the needed change in order to hear the next level.  We are ready for a new glory level that has never been seen or experienced before.  Everyone that has detained you before you must not heed their voices any longer. You must be as deaf to them as they are to Me.
     In you I have placed a part of Me that will make you go forward.  This is the abundant life, that will eat away at all things that are not Me.  Many of My people and especially My ministers have been out of sync with Me.  It is time to prepare for this new season and the refreshing anointing that will flow to all of My own.  Do not be complacent about souls.  Stir yourselves up to do the work of the ministry.  You will find that your desires will increase towards winning souls the more you worship Me.  Creative ways I will give you to inspire you to be about My business.  You will start to operate in a new dimension and a peculiar grace, so that signs and wonders will accompany you.  Do not allow fear to prevent you from stepping in through the open door that I have for you in this season.  As you obey you will encounter more freedom and liberty than you have ever known.
     "Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions. Do not continue offering or yielding your bodily members [and faculties] to sin as instruments (tools) of wickedness. But offer and yield yourselves to God as though you have been raised from the dead to [perpetual] life, and your bodily members [and faculties] to God, presenting them as implements of righteousness." (Rom. 6:12-13)
     "For you, brethren, were [indeed] called to freedom; only [do not let your] freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse [for selfishness], but through love you should serve one another." (Gal. 5:13)
     "That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]" (2 Tim. 1:6)

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 is 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 like 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's 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.  Come closer so 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 are preoccupied with stand 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.
 
     "So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, 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]." (Ephes. 5:26-27)
     "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)
     "For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. (1 Tim. 2:3-4)

Good morning,
 
     As you prophesy over yourself, the dirt of this world begins to be washed away.  That dirt that stained your very soul has been washed away and continues as you apply My Word.  Washing your soul from depression, from panic, from fear, worry, all those things that hinder you from believing.  I have cleared away from your eyes the cataracts that kept you from seeing clearly My vision and My purpose in your life.  I have opened up your ears that were plugged to understanding the very gospel that you read, the very things that you hear Me speak so that you understand where I have called you to and where I Am taking you to, so that you are not caught up in the lies of this world.  The times of the end and those things that sound true but are not true, those things that look good but they are not from Me.  I Am calling you to have a spirit of discernment and I have dressed you with that spirit so that you can separate the false from the truth, from those things that are causing panic and attacking this world so that you can walk with Me clearly on the path that I have planned for you.  Understand, says the Lord as you begin to see things once again from the clarity of My word, as you begin to hear things once again from a clear perspective of knowing your God and the Shepherds voice, you will find yourself in places that you have not imagined.  I have anointed you for this season, so do not be afraid of the things that are coming upon this earth for I have fully equipped you to be able to stand, and stand giving me glory and praise.  At the same time, you will cause many of my sheep that have been lost and gone astray to come back home, and those who are halting between two opinions they will wake up and recognize as your voice sounds like a mighty trumpet that the days they are shortened and they will quicken their steps to come back home to Me says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  I say be not afraid, speak what I speak, be still when I am still and you will know the voice of your Shepherd and a stranger's voice you will not hear, and you will understand and comprehend Me in these days that are ahead.  Revelation and insight will come and it will come like a flood to you says the Lord.  I will cause increased wisdom to come with each revelation.  So stand still and see the great salvation of your Father God, they are mighty in these days says the Lord.  I Am not short concerning my miracles, signs and wonders and the demonstrations of My power, they shall burst forth through you. The clarity in your eyes, things that will see in your dreams and visions, I Am speaking through these things, who I Am and what I Am doing in this time and in this season says the Lord of all grace.
 
     "You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord [Who is] with you, O Judah and Jerusalem.  Fear not nor be dismayed.  Tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you." (2 Chron. 20:17)
     "When he has brought his own sheep outside, he walks on before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will never [on any account] follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not know the voice of strangers or recognize their call." (John 10:4-5)

     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.  Do not 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 not.  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 weary 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 not trust Me now in this new testing and trouble?  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 are 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 try 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!
 
     "Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.  Then will I teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted and return to You." (Psalm 51:12-13)
     "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.  In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.  Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil." (Prov. 3:5-7)
     "Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you.  Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully." (1 Peter 5:6-7)
 
Love,
