 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. 

 
Good morning,
 
    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 the 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 love.  Depend on Me, I Am trustworthy.
 
    "Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:6-7)
 
    "You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God. Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love?" (James 4:4-5)
 
"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)
 
Love,

 I have had the same dream three times.  It was about bombs exploding, but unlike the other two dreams, this time the bombs were sent on a particular mission,

 
Good morning,
 

    I have had the same dream three times.  It was about bombs exploding, but unlike the other two dreams, this time the bombs were sent on a particular mission, they did not just explode in the air.  I did not know what it meant the other two times, but this time it was clear that they were sent on direct destruction of obvious things.  It was destroying or demolishing targets of the obvious.  It attacked our idols, our lovers.  And so, I saw us again, out in the streets as if going about our daily lives, shopping, going to the mall, on our phones, texting, and just being busy, busy people, because we are always "doing" something.  And I saw the bombs going straight to our grocery stores, destroying phones, it hit the mall, places of entertainment, it hit our TVs and our telephones, our iPads and everything that we love so much that we think we can not exist without them.   
 
    And then God said, I have allowed these bombs to destroy all other lovers.  Lovers, whether people, electronics, shopping, habits, pleasures, all those things that distract from keeping your heart and affection from Me.  I Am God and there must be no other lovers before Me.  I Am causing your lovers to reject you, and turn their backs on you.
 
    My people have become complacent content and comfortable, with the distractions and the drawings of this world.  I will not allow this any longer.  It is I, that have loved you and carried you through.  I have let this go on waiting for you to come back and put Me first.  My lovers have become cold to My voice and My touch.  They do not respond to My Word as they did when they were young.  They have made a religion out of serving Me, begrudgingly they serve from a place of familiarity.
 
    Many false prophets have gone out to twist and make a heresy out of My Word, further confusing those who are beguiled by distractions of the age.  My people should know Me by now, they should discern between what is good and evil.  Yet I remain faithful for I have sent to you My prophets, they have My Word of warning and counsel.  Just like the Old Testament, my people destroyed my prophets.  They have attacked them with words and discounted them, but yet they love the false prophets who speak swelling words.  My prophets have been sounding My alarm to say wake up and see the signs, they have started to draw your attention back to Me.  Look and see, some have remained faithful, but even some of them that have been faithful, have allowed their oil to dry up.  Return to your first love Gomer!  I Am shaking all that can and must be shaken.  The first shaking was a wake-up call.  Arise and shine My beloved. 
 
    The next call is for those who love Me to once again be watchmen.  There is coming another shaking.  My own house has become a place of entertainment and a marketplace.  My house is and must always be a house of prayer.  I Am shaking My house, everything that has been set up by man that is done in My name, but I say it is not in My name.  The shaking will come to place you, My children back in a position of power, you will find it as you lay prostrate before Me.  Your prayers will be those of authority igniting the fire as a power that lies within you, you will arise from the first position to a place of greater power.  Humility in waiting for Me is never wasted, here I will cause you in the place of humility to hear My voice and a stranger you will not follow.  Wait on Me, I will come and answer, you will see where I Am taking you My beloved.  The path is still narrow it has never changed, but here you are made stronger in the narrow place by clearing out the fields of other lovers.  Do not fear what is coming upon the face of the earth these things must be.  I Am stepping in now to overthrow, tear down and destroy the avenues of other lovers, so that I may build you up again with your passion for Me.  Remember your first love, and look and see how far you will have fallen. This is to alert you, My children, so that you may see for yourself if you are in My faith, for only those who love Me, hear and obey Me.  Those who are faithful, I say remain faithful, but make sure your faithfulness is in Me and not in self-righteousness, and be strong in your passion for Me.  Just remember that I always love you and that I Am for you, and I Am bringing you out.  In the times that are ahead, you will not need to worry about what to do for I will be your Father the provider in great and difficult times, for I Am your Abba.
 
    “She will [passionately] pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; And she will seek them, but will not find them.  Then she will say, ‘Let me go and return to my first husband, For it was better for me then than now!’ (Hos. 2:7)
 
    "On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed and stationed watchmen (prophets), Who will never keep silent day or night; You who profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves," (Is. 62:6)
 
    "Another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a golden censer, and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints (God’s people) on the golden altar in front of the throne.  And the smoke and fragrant aroma of the incense, with the prayers of the saints (God’s people), ascended before God from the angel’s hand." (Rev. 8:3-4)
 
    "But I have this [charge] against you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me].  So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will] and do the works you did at first [when you first knew Me]; otherwise, I will visit you and remove your lampstand (the church, its impact) from its place—unless you repent." (Rev. 2:4-5)
 
Love,
