Good morning,
 
 
     The Spirit of the Lord speaks to us to find the stable path, and stay on the stable road.  Find those who are stable in Me and link yourself with them, for there is coming upon the earth a strong and mighty force, a tempestuous wind, and it is not a force sent by Me.  And since it is not a force sent by Me, it will not stand or consume you, but you must stand through it.  So stay connected to those who are strong in My Word, find those who have been immovable in Me and you link yourself up with them, for you will find safety in the multitude of wise counsel in these times, and follow and pursue My peace.  So the wind is sent to blow you off course to cause you to become shaken in Me, but I say, do not lose courage, be bold and strong and confident in Me, and look up for your redemption draweth nigh.  If you would keep your heart stayed upon Me, you would see that everything is in My hand.  I have not changed My thoughts towards you, they never change, My plans for you, they never alter.  I Am waiting on you to line up with Me and see Me as your preserver, and all I ask for is willingness, a willing heart that wills to do it My way,  one that wills to obey Me when I speak, that will just do it.  For I will never, and have never forced Myself upon you, and I will not do that, that is the place of the wicked one, that is what he does.  But I asked you to take My word and make it your sure reward, make it what you stand upon no matter what comes or goes.  For if you do that, My Word will be  a strong shield around about you, and nothing shall be able to come in or touch you.  Even as it devastates those around you, those who have not trusted in Me and My Word, I will protect you and keep you safe says the Lord.  And you will not have to figure it out, for I already knew ahead of time, I know what it will take to keep you protected and safe.  I Am trustworthy, look and see My nature in My Word, I have shown and proven myself, over, and over, and over again that I Am the One you can trust and depend upon.  See again that I Am your Father, I Am Daddy, and Abba, and I only desire the good for you if you would just "will" to obey me.
     "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another." (Rom. 14:19)
     "Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." (Ps. 34:14)
     "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." (Jos. 1:9)
     "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." (1 Corin. 16:13)

Good morning,
 
     In this secret place, in the place where My Spirit woos, calls, and beckons you, a place where I speak encouragement and strength, where your waining strength is made strong, fresh and renewed, where visions are restored, where your dreams are given fresh new fire, here in the secret place where when you feel weak you are supernaturally strengthened, this place where your youth is renewed, this place where your energy is restored, this is the place that I have called you to, so that you might cause it to become a canopy over your life.  Wherever you walk, and wherever you journey, wherever your steps may lead you to, wherever I have ordained your steps to go forth you practice resting underneath this canopy.  You must learn to always draw strength, insight, wisdom, joy, and peace from the canopy of My grace, My grace which is sufficient, My grace which is your enduring strength.  This place is where I have called you to abide in the midst of chaos and confusion, in the midst of storms and raging wars, in the midst of all unknowing, I have provided a place of safety and rest.  Here is where I speak to you of things that you can do, that you think you cannot do.  This is the place where I speak to you of the supernatural abilities that I have placed on the inside of you, things that you have yet tapped in to see.  This is the place that I, your God have called you to, where you and I can be made one.  Where you can walk from here, fully understanding that you are like Me, that you are not like the world nor the things of this world.  I have called you apart and separated you for Myself.  I have called you peculiar, I have called you a royal priesthood, I have called you My very own.  This is the place, so draw your strength, draw your dreams, draw your visions, draw your energy, draw your zeal, draw your joy, and draw your peace from this place.  For here, you know that you can do all things that I have called you to do, and that nothing is impossible for you.  Here I have called you to walk in the love that I have placed in your heart, here you can do those supernatural activities that you can see in the realm of the supernatural, in the realm of the Spirit that are unknown to natural man.  This is where I have called you to come close and know Me, come close and know Me, that I am an all loving and enduring God, a God who will never fail you and never give up on you.  I Am your father, your lover, your God,and your peace.  I Am everything that you need, and all that you do not understand that you need.  I Am everything, I Am all in all for you. Come and draw near to Me. 
    "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" (1 Peter 2:9).
     "Draw me! We will run after you!  The king brings me into his apartments! We will be glad and rejoice in you!  We will recall [when we were favored with] your love, more fragrant than wine.  The upright [are not offended at your choice, but sincerely] love you." (Song of Sol. 1:4)
     "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:" (2 Corin. 9:8)

Good morning,
 

     My hope is that you find Me and discover once again the fiery love that I have for you.  Encounters upon encounters await you, if only you would leave the shadows of failure, doubt and disappointments behind.  I Am to you, and for you the tree of life, all of your heart's desire, the genuine hearts’ desires could be met in Me.  If you would seek Me with your whole heart, as you do, and have done for the many treasures and desires you have pursued.  No doubt, the other treasures have left you empty, and pursuing for more, and as I beckon you to come closer, then another lover catches the gaze of your eyes.  Once again you divert your full attention from Me.  I Am the only true and genuine lover that will satisfy your desires, the longings, the ache, and the desert places in your heart.  Oh My beloved, if you would trust Me, I will deliver wholeness.  You say, “what more can I do Lord, I feel like I have turned my life over to you?"  And I say to you, "the reason you still feel barren and sometimes unfulfilled,this barrenness is revealed, and the emptiness is revealed so that you would seek more of Me to fill those places."  Oh, I have so much to cover, so much to heal, so much to waken and excite you.  The depths of Me, and My love, they are unsearchable.  The wicked one comes at the moment you feel the barrenness and fills your mind with lies and says that I Am not concerned with these places.  But you know that he is a liar, he leads you astray and leads you to more empty and barren places.  I have told you over and over again that even in the desert places I will make for you refreshing pools, and living waters.  These waters will refresh your soul and quicken areas in your life that will cause you to take the right steps and bring you to My destined moment of wholeness.  In these moments of confusion and emptiness, is the time for you to be still.  Herein is wisdom, where there is chaos and confusion, wars and unrest in your soul, and in your life, come away and find My peace and be quiet.  Be determined to do so and you will find Me, because this is where My lovers tend to make decisions from a place of confusion and emptiness that brings more desolation and more destruction.  Be still My love and wait on Me, I will bring you to fresh, clear understanding.  My hope is that you recognize My love and return to Me.  I will not hurt or harm you, I have whole and peaceful love and with that love, I lead with peace and joy.  Wait and hear My voice, wait and you will hear from your lover, this is the way follow Me.   Walk in it and you will find your desires being fulfilled, wait on Me and my way will lead you by the still and peaceful waters where rivers will overflow your steps with My love and peace for you, not being worried by so many things which causes your soul to be tossed about with a great wind.  For My way is a gently breeze by My spirit on to the course that I’ve planned for you.  My hope is that you will find Me and become My trees planted by those rivers.  No matter what season you’re in, you will be found resting and leaning upon My everlasting arms not in your own strength if you hope in me.  My undying love for your desires is only to do you good.  My hope is that you find and discover My great, kind and all-knowing love.
     "Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it." (Ps. 37:34)

Good morning,
 
     This is a spontaneous, prophetic song that was sung during one of our worship services.  As always we pray that this encouraging word will lift you and stir your heart to live wholly for our Father! The Bible says: "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;" (Ephes. 5:19)
 
Do not let your head hang down
Do not let your hands hang low
Lift up your eyes
Lift up your hands
For your redeemer, He is coming
Do not let your head hang down
Do not let your hands hang low
Lift up your eyes I say
Lift up your hands I say
Your redeemer is alive
Your redeemer will arise
And I Am coming, yes I Am
Just like I said I would, yes I Am
I Am looking for those, that is what I Am doing
Those who have separated themselves, I will anoint you
Signs and wonders shall flow
You will be supernatural, yes you will
And everything you say and do will be supernatural too 
You will be separated even more by the choices you make for Me, yes you will
And I will know you, and I will see you
And greater revelation than you have ever known before, and you will walk it out this time
You will walk it out this time with signs and wonders following you
This is our greatest time, the time of the bride
The time of the bride has come and you will show your glory, the glory I have given you and many will stand and be amazed at the things that we can do.
This is our time, our time to shine.
So let your glory come forth, let My glory rise up and you will see says the Lord.
Greater is He, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
Yes, you understand, greater is He than he that is in the world.
Yes, I Am greater, more greater than you have began to see, but you will see.
 
     "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." (Mark 16:20)
     "And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?" (Rom.9:23-24)
      "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)

Good morning,
     Begin to see what I see, says the Lord.  Can't you believe that I will use you in a supernatural way to cause the increase of My kingdom in these last days?  Can't you believe that My power is resident on the inside of you?  Believe that there is nothing too difficult for you and I together as we walk through this earth, and that there is nothing, not a thing that is too hard for Me to do in your life.  Can you believe once again that I will do exactly what I said I would do, and that I Am not like man and that every word that I have spoken to you is a yes and amen?  Can you believe that I would actually use you to bring My kingdom to pass?  Can you believe says the Lord, that I will work a supernatural thing on the inside of you, where you can not even recognize yourself any longer?  Stop reasoning, and doubting Me, and believing the lies of the enemy that you are not worth it, for I have made you worth it, I have made you worthy says the Lord.  I have made you able to carry My glory to a dying world, to be My vessels that touch this world, and would spark a fire in the midst of darkness and cause light to come forth and shine brightly.  I have called you and anointed you for such a time as this.  Can you believe that, says the Lord?   For if you can, then there is nothing to difficult or too hard for the times or the seasons that you are in.  In fact, this is the time of My glory, this is the time of My power, this is the time of the supernatural.  If only you would believe and trust Me, and lay every burden at My feet, lay every care at My feet and watch and see Me, your God do supernatural miracles in your midst and use you.  I delight to do this for you, My child.
     Yes, where I have planted you to bring in this last end time harvest, so that men will know that there is one God and that I Am God in the midst of you, and that I will do mighty exploits in the days ahead.  Can you believe that and will you believe Me, says the Lord?  For if you do, walk and put your hand in My hand, and rest in Me and see, says the Lord.  Quit working under your own might, and in your own strength and trust Me, trust Me, just trust Me to do exactly what I said I would do.  For I will do it says God, I Am not a liar, I Am God who is truth, I speak truth, I declare truth and I Am truth. Believe Me says the Lord.  For I am about to do that work on the inside of you that you have been longing for.  It is high time, it is My time, it is your time and it is Our time, says the Lord.
     "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you." (1 Peter 5:10)
     "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:" (1 Peter 2:9)
     "For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren" (Rom. 8:29).

Good morning,
     I Am the God of all comfort, I Am the God of all consolation,  I Am the God of all wisdom,and the God of all understanding.  I Am the God of your way, if you will allow Me to be.  I Am the God who will make ways.  I bring water to dry places and I will cause the wet places to become dry.  I Am the God who levels mountains and makes them straight.  I Am the God that causes you to develop hinds feet and to go over the difficult places with ease.  I Am your Father, your Abba, your Daddy, your friend, and your counselor.  I Am your provider, and your distinguished Friend.  I Am the One who speaks in the night season when no one else is there.  I Am the One who gives you sleep when you cannot close your eyes.  I Am the God who wakes you up in the morning and give you a fresh mercies for a new day.  I Am the God who causes you to rest peacefully, even in the midst of difficult circumstances and situations.  I Am the One who walks beside you, to guide you along the narrow path, and I will never leave you nor forsake you.  I Am the God who understands, and sees, and knows what you are going through, and I offer unto you My great counsel and wisdom if you will allow me to.  I will speak and if you obey, I will speak again.  I Am your love. I will never give up on you, just stay in My hand.  I will continue to make you into My very image, until in the end you look like Me.  When you awake, you will look like Me, it is My purpose, and My design, and I take delight in forming you and fashioning you into My very image.  Sometimes this is difficult and hard for you to understand as you go through and I say, “This is not my way”, so I must change that in you. Do not refuse to bend, for then it is harder on you, so it seems as if you are breaking, but I will not let you break if you yield. I correct all those I love, it is always for your good, to make you grow up and mature, I Am your  Father God.
     As you renew your mind and change your thoughts to come in line with Mine, you will find that your desires will change to Mine as well.

You will simply do My Word and your delight will be found in the doing.  You will understand the great prosperity found in obedience, and you will be happy and your joy will be full.  The deep secrets hidden in My Word will be the treasure that fills your life and then you will experience My peace that makes you whole in every area of your life. These are the days that many longed for, to see the sons of God rise to their rightful place.
     "And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." (Heb.12:5-6)
     "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Psa. 17:15)

Good morning,
 
     I Am gathering jewels of My treasury, from every nation, tribe, kindred, from every people and I Am bringing them  together because I have chosen them.  Some are not ready yet, but your prayers are making room and way for them.  I have not forgotten one of My jewels, and I will not do without one of my jewels.  So as you continue to pray and intercede and stand as watchmen on the wall, I am gathering them from every corner of this world.  I will have My remnant that will bring Me glory, honor, and praise, that will never cease to praise me, day and night, from a place of love, from a place of adoring Me.  For I have sought willing and passionate lovers from the foundation of this world, and I knew that I would have a treasury of souls, a kingdom, a nation of people who would praise Me and honor Me from their hearts, ones who would not do without Me, ones who would desire Me more than their necessary food.  Children who would hunger and thirst for Me even in their night season.  Yes, in spite of anything and everything that would come against them, they would persevere and press in to Me, for they recognize true love and they desire the love that I have for them.  I have given them My love so that they might truly learn to love Me, and to love My family, and My kingdom, and to have mercy on those that I would have mercy on and to hate those things that I hate.  Yes, I have found My jewels and I have prepared  great things for them says the Lord.  I have also been preparing, from the beginning a bride, without spot or wrinkle or blemish, who would set herself aside for Me, and love Me first.  Ones who would seek Me no matter what, who would desire to bring Me pleasure and I have found that in you My people.  And not in you alone, but I have others who have not given their hearts to the world, who have abandoned their love for the things of this world, they have kept their eyes stayed fast upon Me, and because they have been faithful lovers to Me I will increase in them.  I will increase in power, I will increase in wholeness, I will increase in soundness and revelation.  I will cause them to have dreams and visions, and the interpretation of those dreams will come readily!  I will cause revelation in My Word.  They shall not fall away, and even though the enemy tries to sow the weed, weeds which grow without much to do, they will grow on.  Even though the enemy tries to sow weeds of deception in My word, they will rightly divide My Word, and they will know the truth and they will gather around My Word of truth for they recognize that I will not change.  My word does not change and I am faithful to watch over My Word concerning them and I will do it says the Lord.  They continue to hold on to their promise as a lover does to the one that loves them with all of their heart, and they recognize that I will not change concerning them.  No matter what happens, they understand that even when it is dark, I am light all around with My love. I will not change concerning them, I will search and hunt and find them says the Lord.  For there is nothing hidden from Me, there is nothing too deep that I can not go and bring them back for I Am faithful to My Word.  These watchmen, the lover of My soul, they stand fast and will not give up to the enemy those souls that I have treasured, those things that I have treasured, those words that I have placed in their heart!  But watch and see, says the Lord, the multiplication shall take place and many shall come, many with My ability, and the quality of hearts and minds that glorify Me.  Many shall come and stand next to you and you will recognize that this is a mighty army of God, because I am gathering My jewels says the Lord.  I Am faithful to My Word, so do not look to the left, nor to the right, do not wonder and allow your eyes to wander away from Me.  For I Am your lover, and since your gaze is fixed upon Me you can see says the Lord, how deep, how affectionate, how near and dear I Am to you, and I will not let you go, I will not let you drop, I will not let you fail.  You will succeed says the Lord, and together you shall gather yourselves unto Me, and we shall have a grand and glorious day of recognizing that I love you and that you love Me and many shall know in that day says the Lord how much I have wooed you.  They will know how consistent you were to seek Me, how you never gave up on Me and how I never gave up on you.  This is the great and notable day Love is coming upon the face of this earth!  Many will see the bridegroom has never given up on the bride, and the bride has never given up on Him, and we shall be one says the Lord.
     "Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard.  A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.  “On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not." (Mal. 3:16-18)
     "Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?"  (Matt. 13:24-27)
     "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession,that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9)

Good morning,
     May God bless you and keep you in His peace, especially as we see wars and rumors of wars again all around us.  God has been telling us to learn to lean on Him, and put our trust in Him.  Learn to listen and follow Holy Spirit.  We all must learn to let and allow God and His Word to break down strongholds that have been set up or raised in our lives, whether by wrong teachings (those from the world, as well as religious), generational weaknesses, or emotional failings.  But, remember God will not "force" us to do His Word, or renew and change your mind-sets, you must love Him enough to yield to Him.  Keeping this in our hearts, we must be so very sensitive that we can hear His voice speak to us, (whether through His Word, by precious Holy Spirit, and or through the five-fold ministry gifts.  As He speaks we will be so well trained that we quickly obey.  Never let fear be your motivation for anything now, only be moved by God.  We again will share one of the prophetic words that was given to us in one of our services.  May you always have ears to hear and hearts to obey Him.
    
     Remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love them. (Ps. 122:6)  
    
     Many of my children are trying to make My Word work according to this world system.  They are trying to make My Word conform to their culture, and make it work according to their own design, and their plan, and their scheme, and it will not.  I Am God and I Am trying to bring you up to another level where you actually begin to do My Word, and be like Me.  For My Word is the only thing that will work at this time, and in this age, and in this season, it is the only thing that will never change.  It is not based on the culture, it is not based on your race, it is not based on your gender, it is not based on your feelings, neither is it based on the shifting world, it is not based on any of those things.  It is based on Me because I Am God and I Am truth, I Am fixed, never changing, I Am not moved by temporary shifts in this world, because I have spoken the end from the beginning, and know how they are separated.  As you lean on Me, you will come to know for yourself that I Am your protector, your shield, your reward, your counselor, your wholeness, and wellness.  You will not be moved by any force other than Me, and knowing Me, you will not let fear enter your soul.  See, I know the way, I know the plan that I have for you, I know the design, and the destiny that I created for you to walk in.  Oh, if you would only yield to Me then your plan will conform to Mine and you will find, says the Lord, that the end is good.  But if you keep trying to make My plan submit to yours, and try to make Me do what you want to do to please you, it will never work.  That is a "spirit of deception", that will make  you believe a lie, and not hear or understand the truth of My Word.  But if you yield to Me it will bring fruit and that fruit will be something that will remain and you will enjoy and be glad about it.  You will be glad you turned your face to Me, you will be glad you yielded to Me, you will be glad you allowed My Word to work on the inside of you.  Stop thinking like this world and begin to think like My Word, for My Word is the only thing that will hold you up and preserve you no matter what comes and no matter what goes.  It is the only stable thing in your life, it is the only fixed thing that will never change.  Every thing else around you will change, yes, it is destined to change, but My Word will remain the same and if you yield yourself to My Word and My promises, you will never change, you awaken in My likeness.  You will be unshakable, you will be immovable and nothing shall divert you, nothing the enemy brings across your pathway will make you stumble.  You will finish the course that I have designed for you, you will receive the reward that I have promised unto you.  The goal will be ran with enduring strength, and the crown  of righteousness will be yours, and I will have such delight in you.
     "Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord." (Ps. 112:6,7)
     "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Ps. 17:15) 
     "I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith.  [As to what remains] henceforth there is laid up for me the [victor’s] crown of righteousness [for being right with God and doing right], which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me and recompense me on that [great] day—and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved and yearned for and welcomed His appearing (His return)."

Good morning,
  I pray that you have been living in the peace of God.  It is the place of hiding in the safety of our Father's arms, right in the midst of the storm! Here is a prophecy that was given as we worshiped Abba, our daddy.  Be still and know that He is God!  He is bringing you the way of excellence, and making you to be His disciple, and most of all loving you, His very own.
     You are experiencing peace now.  For some of you it is the first peace you have had all week.  You are experiencing peace.  Here in this stillness, this is where you where made to live! 
 
     I Am the God of all comfort.  I Am the God of all consolation.  I Am the God of all wisdom, the God of all understanding.  I Am the God of your way, if you will allow Me to be.  I Am the God who will make ways.  I bring water to dry places and I will cause the wet places to become dry.  I Am the God who levels mountains and makes them straight.  I Am the God that causes you to develop hinds feet, and to go over the difficult places.  I Am your Father, your Abba, your Daddy, and I Am your Counselor.   I Am your provider, and your distinguished Friend.  I Am the one who speaks comfort and peace in the night season, when no one else is there.  I Am the one who gives you peaceful sleep when you cannot find rest.  I Am the God who wakes you up in the morning and gives mercy for a band new day.  I Am the God who causes you to find rest, even in the midst of difficult circumstances and situations.  I Am the one who walks beside you, and I will never leave you nor forsake you.  I Am the God who understands and sees and knows what you are going through and I offer unto you my great counsel and wisdom if you will allow me to.  I will speak again and again, if you obey, I will enlighten your path.  I Am your love, one who will always be for you.  I will never leave you, no, I will never forsake you.  I will never give up on you as long as you stay in My hand.  I will continue to make you into My very image, until in the end you look like Me.  When you awaken, you will be like Me, it is My purpose and My design and I take delight in forming and fashioning you into My very image.  Sometimes this is difficult and hard for you to understand as you go through and I say, “This is not my way”, so I must change that in you, and  sometimes you refuse to bend and then it is hard, so it seems as if you are breaking but now learn to yield! Every time you yield you will be made stronger and become like Me for I am your Father, your God!

Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
     My goodness has extended from generation to generation.  I Am going to reveal and uncover to you just how good I have been to you through generations, because it is by My spirit, My love, and My mercy that you stand here today.  It is not through your wisdom, your insight, or any ability of your own, nor is it by your own strength.  It is by My grace, and My mercy that you stand here today in a sound mind, serving me with your whole heart because I have been at work throughout ages to bring you to this place and to this point.  I have never quit nor given up on you, and I will not if you will not quit on me, I will stay faithful to you all the way to the finish line.  The goal is perfect, and the finish line is perfect, and those things that I have designed and planned for you, they are perfect.  Even though the way to them bring you through many trials, tribulations, pitfalls, and snares, the end is perfect, for I am perfecting everything on the inside of you.  I Am making you whole and sound, yes even through the times of difficult things.  I Am still at work on the inside of you, for I Am fashioning and forming you into the very image of my dear Son who gave it all, the giving of his life for you, so that you might be whole, so that you might be well, so that you might be perfected.  I Am opening up a little more light, more understanding, and more insight so that you might comprehend the depth of what has been done to save your soul, and that you might truly give Me glory, praise, and honor all the days of your life.  So that you will not complain and murmur against the plan that I have for you, for it is always good.  No matter what you are going through now if you could see with eyes of faith and understand that I Am working out My good plan, I Am straightening it out for your good, it is not over yet!  Give Me glory right there in the midst of whatever may be going on in your life, then I will supercede everything and bring it quickly to your attention that I Am good.
     "Great is our Lord and of great power; His understanding is inexhaustible and boundless." (Ps. 147:5)
     "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace." (Ps. 37:37)
     "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)
