Good morning,

I Am forming an Army not from the soft metals of this world, but from the strong metals of your God. You will be able to endure things that others would not or could not because you have been forged on the back road of the wilderness. When others did not know your name I knew you. When you had no claim to fame I knew you, and because you humbled yourself before Me, I was able to do and still able to do the work that is needed on the inside of you to bring about that great result, so that men may see your Father and glorify Me. Many people have fallen before because they would not allow the purification process to be completed. But because you yield yourself to Me and allow Me to continue to complete the work that I started on the inside of you, do not quit, and refuse to turn back, I will cause your face to be like a flint, not easily turned by the circumstances of this life. You will begin to walk unashamed, unafraid, and boldly declare who I Am in the midst of a generation who desperately needs to know Me. You will open your mouth and My words will spill forth from your lips. You will not need to study the words, but they will come forth because you sought My face diligently, day by day, being forged into the strong weapon of war. You will be part of this great army forged in the wilderness. You will come forth, able to stand, not being moved by circumstances or the words of doubt that the enemy piles into your mind. You will be able to slay before they become a meditation of your heart, “get out from my mind”, and they will be removed because the power of your father is ingrained on the inside of you, and you know who you are, and you are standing strong, and you refuse to be moved by the lies of the wicked one anymore. You have been pushed aside, you have been harassed by the enemy but those days are coming to an end. For you recognize who you are, and you will boldly declare, even as my servants of old. You will declare what belongs to you and what your rights are and the authority belongs to you. You will stand and declare. You are seated with Me in heavenly places. You will look down on the circumstances and situations of this world, for there are many that are coming, but you will refuse to be moved. So stand strong and know who you are. Know that you are a child of the Most High God and there is no flaw in what I have done. Everything that I made, I said it is good. Everything that I have done in you, I say it is good and I have not finished. Yes, I am completing and perfecting everything concerning you. You will see I have not forgotten one prayer, not one request, not one thing that you have asked of Me. I Am fixing it. I am straightening out the crooked places and making you strong and hard. He will not be able to come against you, for you will stand and resist every blow of the enemy. This is My army, this is My mighty army that has been forged in the fire. 

“The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.” (Psalm 138:8)

“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” (Ephesians 2:6)

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time” (1 Peter 5:6)

 I have recorded your wanderings I have put your tears in a bottle. I have written them in My book.

 
Good morning,
 
    I have recorded your wanderings I have put your tears in a bottle. I have written them in My book. The reason I have gathered your tears is that I have caused them to be the water upon the seeds that you have sown in your life.  All those who have sown in tears, yes, they will reap in joy.  You will come again bearing all those precious seeds, more seeds for sowing.  The joy that is unspeakable and full of glory shall come upon you and multiply more joy to you.  While others are having tears, you are wise enough to know that this joy has been given to you so that you can learn to comfort others with joy, and the presence, and the peace that you will have learned in the stillness and the quietness of being with Me. And because I have anointed you for this moment, and in this time and in this season, you will humble yourself.  You will stay humble.  You have learned how to stay humble by the circumstances that you have encountered.  And because you have learned to stay humble before Me, I can not help but anoint and exalt you.  People will say, why are they continually being exalted?  It is because you have humbled yourself. I will do it so that My name might be glorified and honored.  I have not forgotten one tear that has dropped in the secret times.  I have not forgotten one tear that has dropped in times of trouble and testing.  Nothing has been lost, nothing has been wasted.  I Am recovering and restoring back to you all the things that the enemy tried to steal from you.  This is a season of recovery and restoration.  While others are in famine, you will walk in prosperity.  I have told you that everything that the enemy stole from you, I will restore double. I will turn around and press it down and run over to give back to you so that you will have an overwhelming abundance in the time of famine.  So rejoice for I Am your Father and the lover of your soul.
 
    "Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion.  Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs." (Is. 61:7)
 
    "Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you" (1 Peter 5:6)
 
    "You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping. You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle—not one will be lost. For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance."  (Ps. 56:8)
 
Love,

Gideon was thought to be the smallest and the least.  He came from the smallest tribe and he was the least in his family yet I raised him up to be mighty.  Joseph was ignored and thought to be a bother to his brothers.  David’s brothers did not think highly of him, yet God used them mightily to save their families and nations. 
    If you have found yourself in these positions, get ready God loves to exalt the humble.

 
Good morning,
 
    Gideon was thought to be the smallest and the least.  He came from the smallest tribe and he was the least in his family yet I raised him up to be mighty.  Joseph was ignored and thought to be a bother to his brothers.  David's brothers did not think highly of him, yet God used them mightily to save their families and nations. 
    If you have found yourself in these positions, get ready God loves to exalt the humble.  If you have been treated like a handmaiden, or a servant, or treated as the least of all know that I have seen your faithfulness to Me.  Remember My servants of old; Abraham, I changed his name so that he could fulfill the calling and purpose that was in his life know that I am doing the same for you.  I Am changing your name, for many have been under a low name and I Am raising you up to a new level, into a new place.  I Am placing at your feet all that I have ordained for you to be.  Delayed assignments, postponed promises I Am bringing to pass for I Am a God who remembers every word that I have spoken over you even before you were formed.  I know the plan and destiny that I have for you, you will perform it.  I have pulled you up out of the lowest places and I will raise you higher than you can imagine. Though it may seem that in the natural you have come behind in many things.  I Am great at exalting the lowly and no man can push you down once I have lifted you up.  Understand the greatest things in your life are about to be fulfilled, I have not forgotten any good thing that you have done in My name.  I Am faithful to all I call, every promise that I have given I will fulfill it. Trust me, I will bring you up, I will exalt you and there will be no one left who can put you down.  There is no man that can move My hand, nor alter My plans that I have for your life so rejoice in what I have done and continue to do.  I brought my son through a generation of lineage of downcast and downtrodden and because he humbled himself and obeyed Me I made him Lord of all, there is nothing too difficult for Me.  I tell you that I watch over My word to perform it.  Your best days are ahead, so rejoice in the fact that I keep My word.
 
    "Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you]." (1 Thess. 5:24)
 
    "Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it." (Jer. 1:12)
 
    "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. 55:11)
 
    "Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you," (1 Peter 5:6)
 
Love,
