 I have kept you in the palm of My hand through many attempts from the enemy to try and kill, steal, and destroy your life.

 
Good morning,
 
    I have kept you in the palm of My hand through many attempts from the enemy to try and kill, steal, and destroy your life.  I know that some of My little ones have become discouraged and frustrated by the assaults and the war that seems as if it never ceases.  I have hidden you from the strong assignment to take you out before your time, and Mine.  I have planned for you a good and expected hope, something that you have longed for.  You have tried to accomplish the promise, by gritting your teeth and working in the flesh, by trying to reason out the plan I have.  Now, I encourage you once again to remember that My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  It is not to cause your hope to be deferred, so that your heart becomes weary and sick, no, it has always been to get you to put your trust in Me.  I do not want you to be looking in some distant future for a faraway promise, but being thankful for My everyday supply and care for you, the promises I have fulfilled!  It is because of My fathering heart that you wake up with the strength to arise and take the steps necessary to move toward your destiny, day by day, moment by moment.  I just want to be loved for Who I Am, not for what I can give you.  I want to be appreciated for what I Am doing, yet those gifts and tokens of My love, usually go unnoticed.  My desire is for My children to long to be with Me where I Am, so much so that night and day their cry is for Me to come and receive My beloved.  I desire your longing for the things of this world to become faint and barely noticeable compared to your longing for My Presence.  I wait and long for your whole heart to be like Mine.  There is no need or want that I will not fulfill for those who love Me, just because I Am worthy of your love.  My countenance towards you is one of longing for you to come closer.  I Am not angry or disappointed, I just want your wholehearted love from a pure heart, not one that is full of stipulations.  As if you can only believe My love for you is based upon the things I give and do for you.  I love unconditionally, that is how I must be loved too!   
     Do not worry about what you eat, or wear, your possessions, or, even your desires, for I Am your provider.  This is where the enemy launches his violent attack, when you are weak, tired, angry, discouraged, lonely, these are some of the open doors, for the devil is an opportunist.  He is looking for you to feel that I have neglected to watch over my Word concerning you.  That is why I beckon you to keep your mind stayed on Me, the place of peace and rest.  My Word is governed by the foundation of My love.  I want you to base everything that you do on the foundation of love as well.  This makes you an obedient lover, who does My word in love.  This is surely changing you from the inside and making you more effective outwardly.  So that you then become My poem of love, easily read by a dying and hurting world!
 
    "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matt. 11:28-30)  
 
    "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jer. 29:11)  
 
    "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.  If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (1 John 2:15-17)  
 
    "Come!" say the Spirit and the Bride.  Whoever hears, echo, "Come!" Is anyone thirsty?  Come!  All who will, come and drink, Drink freely of the Water of Life." (Rev. 22:17)

Good morning,
 
     Only hear My voice and know that My voice is one of kindness, one that encourages and uplifts. Understand that I saw you, and I knew you even before you were in your mother's womb, I knew you and I said well done, it is good!  I took you and I fashioned you, and I brought you into this world that you might affect and cause a change by your life in this world.  You are to take this world by storm by your anointing that I have placed in and upon you.  I have great purpose and great destiny for you, and your eyes have not yet begun to see what I Am doing.  I have been doing many things in the secret but now, says the Spirit of grace, now, the world needs to see the things that I have been working on in the dark.  I am taking back the covers off of My children in order that the world might see who you really are, and those who are for Me, they will be stronger and bolder than they have ever experienced in their life.  They will decree a word and it shall come to pass because they have been found in the secret place with Me.  When you open your mouth to speak you will be amazed at what you will hear.  It is because you have been found in the secret place with Me where you have been fashioning yourself in the image of your Father.  I have heard your cry to be more like Me, it has always been My desire for you to be just like Me.  There will be great arranging in the inside as you see yourself being a vessel of love and power.  Children of the most high God, walking in the midst of the world changing and disrupting the plans of the enemy by your very presence alone.  So open your eyes and your ears to the great destiny and the purpose that will unfold before your eyes, for you are  prepared to walk in it now.  So remember where you came from, humble yourself, turn all the glory over to Me for it is Mine.  Bring to your remembrance that it is I, and I alone who formed you and made you for this time and this season.  It is My time to make all things beautiful.  The world needs you, so step up and declare, open your mouth in love, and the power that is within will come forth.  This is the season of My children coming forth.  The whole creation has awaited this time.  No more backing down, no more biting your tongue, open your mouth and I will fill it with power of the Kingdom.
 
     "But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.'  Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people." (Ezek. 3:27)
     "As for me, I will continue beholding Your face in righteousness (rightness, justice, and right standing with You); I shall be fully satisfied, when I awake [to find myself] beholding Your form [and having sweet communion with You]." (Ps. 17:15)
     "You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways." (Job 22:28)
 
Love,
