Good morning,

My children your contentment must lie in your relationship with Me. You are fully equipped to stand against the forces of the enemy. I must send a cry to all of My own that now is another season of preparation. Preparation is what is needed in order to be able to stand through all manners of testing and trials. You know that growth is a process. There is a series of steps and actions to train you in order to achieve My desired results. There is a time that I set you aside to mold you and this requires My transforming inputs while you go through, so that We can celebrate your growth. Where you are no longer immature, but desiring more growth, to resemble your Father. This process forges in you consistency, improvement, and endurance. Know that whatever you are walking through I Am preparing and making you ready for the greater tasks that are ahead. I have a plan for you and you must be trained through different levels of testings to ensure success, so that you refuse to be moved from the stand that is needed for the day that you are in now. The enemy desires to sift you as wheat, but you press on because you have an assignment on your life. This present suffering can not compare to the glory that is about to be revealed in you. There is more than this temporal world, you can see the eternal,your spirit is responding to the Spirit. My children are hearkening to Me, they understand that I Am looking deep at the heart not just the hand or the busyness of your life. I Am speaking to those who are hearers and doers of My Word. You are the ones that have allowed the process of preparation to form you into My image. You will not be the ones that are turned away on that day that have a form of godliness but a lack of oil or those who have busy work but no genuine relationship which forges a genuine change. Rise up My children and be like Me in this world. The whole world is groaning and travailing waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. Sons, meaning “mature” not immature ones.  

“But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.” (1 Timothy 6:11) 

“For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us!  For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed.” (Romans 8:18-19)

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.  Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’  And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].” (Matthew 7:21-23)

Good morning,
 
     I am doing things rapidly in My children for growth so that they can actually be about My business.  That is why it is important that you die.  Dying to yourself makes living for the Kingdom easier.  I know what you want, I know what you need.  I knew before you opened your mouth.  I knew before you were born and I knew exactly what it would take to get you to line up with Me, so that we can both rejoice in the things that I will do.  You will be satisfied and I'll be satisfied.  All this struggling and fighting, the enemy has pitted you against Me by the selfish desires and the longings of the heart, causing you to believe a lie.  I have placed My longings in your spirit by giving you dreams, gifts, and talents.  Now  I Am changing your desires, come on and let Me.  Come on and let Me, I Am here right now in your heart changing the desires to line up with Mine.  Oh do not be afraid, I hear you now,  “what does that look like for Me”?  You ask me, "Does it mean I abandon all my aspirations, dreams and passions?"  I Am the One who gave the passions, I gave the dreams, that means they will only be truly fulfilled in Me.  I Am not holding anything back from you, it is My desire that you are wholly complete and that you actually perform and do what I have destined for you.  All of those things are part of your destiny, but without Me you can do nothing. This is why you have been in the desert all these years, because you have been trying to do it, yes, without Me.  So here we go, here we go together, that is where no weapon formed against you shall prosper.  Here we go together, that is where the enemy cannot touch you.  Here we go together now, because you are surrounded, not only by My hand but by the host of angels, sent to help you, sent to aid you.  You have cried out for more, so when the deep calls out to deep, says the Lord, the deep opens and you gaze into something that you never knew existed.  I Am awesome in wonder.  I Am always working things out for you in splendor and in action and deeds never before seen or performed.  You may not know what is in here but it is in the deep where you are covered, it is in the deep that you do not depend on your own might and strength, you are covered in the deep.  I will not push you, I will not force you.  There will be times that you cry out Lord, "I do not know which way" but know that I do.  You can rely on Me, you can trust Me, I will not let you down.  Understand that not everybody's ready, everyone does not want to go.  For not everyone is ready to let go of familiar things, to let go of those things that they have  been holding on to.  It is mighty comfortable with the familiar, even though you may be discontented with where you are, the spirit of familiarity will keep you there.  I Am fulfilling all things now.  Come walk with Me in the deep places, you will not regret one moment of it.
     “Deep calls to deep at the thundering sound of your waterfalls. All your breakers and your waves have rolled over me.” (Ps. 42:7)
     “For it is (not your strength, but it is) God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work (that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose) for His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13)
     “As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.” (Ps. 17:15)
