Good morning,

There is a shift going on. There is a shift taking place and some of My children are unaware of it because they have been too caught up in the world and the circumstances of this life. They have allowed it to steal and rob them of the presentness of their Father but I Am here always to do exactly what I said I would do. I have never changed what I said, I Am doing what I promised. I Am causing everything to line up according to My plan, My destiny, and My purpose for you. I Am lifting you up right now by My Spirit, and you are harkening and beckoning to My call. You hear Me and you recognize that you are changing on the inside. For everything that I do starts on the inside. I Am causing your eyes to stay fixed upon Me so that you will not look at the circumstances of this world, that you will not be moved because things will shift and change in this world. It’ll be something that you’ve never seen before. Nothing that you thought or didn’t think that would come up on this earth, it’s coming. But I have prepared you in the secret place so that you can stand up under any circumstances or situation and not be moved from My word, not slide back from the promises that I have given you.  I Am faithful to watch over those things concerning you and I will be found faithful, will you be found faithful too? Will you do exactly what I Am calling you to do in this moment?  It is determined about your faithfulness to My word. And if you hearken to My Word and keep your eyes stayed upon Me, you will find yourself in a pleasant place at all times. No matter what circumstances and situations change in this world, I Am consistent I never change. I Am always consistent. My children can trust Me from generation to generation they have trusted Me. When I speak a Word I keep it, I always provide amid diverse and desperate situations. I Am faithful to watch over My word.

“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].” (Philippians 1:6)

“Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4)

“Now therefore, if you will in fact obey My voice and keep My covenant (agreement), then you shall be My own special possession and treasure from among all peoples [of the world], for all the earth is Mine;” (Exodus 19:5)

Love,

Good morning,

I have spoken once, yet twice have I said this to you; “Stand still and see the salvation of your Lord!”  Somehow you think that I am not working because you don’t see in the now the activity that is going on to bring My word to pass for you.  Your angels are constantly at work, to bring to pass My promises on the behalf of the one who believes and stands. Do not be deceived by the scurrying around of the little foxes of our enemy.  He uses the natural forces to get your attention on him.  He does that to try and get your eyes to roam to the left and right, keeping you trapped by the present activities.  All of the chaos of transition can leave you feeling unsettled if you are not keeping your gaze upon Me and My promises. I have not changed My mind concerning the prophetic Words that I have spoken over you.  They are settled with Me.  Are they settled with you? They must be, in order for you to receive them.  They must always be in your heart.  I long to do those good things that I have said to you. Yet, it is with eyes of faith that you will see the promises fulfilled. The winds of trials and tribulations have blown you off course.  They have arisen because of the promises, their purpose was to get you to shift your sail.  You have allowed yourself to be pushed around by these lying winds.  They blow in your ears, your eyes, and through your emotions, telling you that it will not come to pass.  Resist those lying winds!  I am stirring up a fresh new wind.  A sweet wind that will cause you to set your sails of faith towards Me once again.  Catch it, and flow with Me to the places of purpose.  I will set you on the straight path once again, do not be detoured.  It is a narrow and constricted path that I place you on, it is for your good.  Trust Me, I do know the way.  Learn to follow Me. No longer allow personal pain and disappointment to cause you to stand still in fear, but stand, fully persuaded that I am God and I cannot lie.  My purposes and plans will prevail if you stay in the force of My wind.  Only yield to My wind, not to the winds of doubt, lies, and unbelief of our enemy.  If you only look to Me, I will raise your sights, to see farther than you have been able to. I will lift your expectations again, with tokens of My goodness.

“Surely there is a future [and a reward],  Listen, my son, and be wise, And direct your heart in the way [of the Lord] Listen my son and be wise. and direct your heart  in the way of the Lord.” (Proverbs 23:18-19)

“Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be fulfilled completely,”’” says the Lord God. (Ezekiel 12:28)

A humble man or woman I will not despise.  I will lift them up to heights unknown, but the proud I resist.

 
Good morning,
 
    A humble man or woman I will not despise.  I will lift them up to heights unknown, but the proud I resist.  Those who stand in their own might, in their own wisdom, in their own strength, I Am not pleased with.  The humble recognize they need Me, and depend upon My help.  I will come along beside them and hold them up, they will stand when the arrogant and proud fall.  This is the season that you will see My great hand upon the humble. 
    Know that there is a season of a great falling away.  Many of those who called upon My name, they will not run with Me any longer, for they will not recognize that I have shifted.  They will not understand that I have shifted into a new gear that is taking My children to another place, another dimension, where they see Me, hear Me, and understand Me.  They have become hard of seeing and hearing, they are still bound in those ways of their own making, bound in their flesh, bound in their minds and I Am now calling My children up higher.  Calling them to a place where they rest in My power, My ability, My might, and My grace, knowing Me for who I Am.  Not falling into ways carved by pride, lack of wisdom, and lack of hunger and desperation for My ways.  I push against pride, I stand against pride for pride caused My angels to fall.  Pride is foolish and deceitful, it carries you down to the pit of hell, but the humble are those who recognize their only strength is in Me.  They will rise up, I will exalt them and stretch their borders and lengthen their stakes.
    This is the day that separation is coming to My house.  Understand that it has already begun.  Some have stood and looked and understood what is happening, but the separation has begun, sheep from goat, wheat from tare.  I have allowed the growing of these things together but now, says the Lord, I Am coming for My Bride.  My bride is being washed without spot or wrinkle, My bride who is separate, holy unto Me, she looks different, talks different, she responds differently.  I Am coming, says the Lord, I am coming for My church, and My church, My true church, My remnant church they are being prepared, being made ready.  They are hungry and thirsty, they recognize everything going on around about them but they march on.  The darkness that has come on the earth doesn't make them stubble, for they knew this day would come.  They are shining brighter, their light is not growing dim in the midst of darkness, they burn on, they march on because they recognize nothing can hinder them, nothing can stop them.  For this is what they have been called to and the desperation in their hearts is because they want to come home and be with Me and I Am making way and making plans for that to happen soon.  So prepare your hearts and your minds, stand firm, stand ready, stand watchful and be ever ready.  For no man knows the hour nor the moment that I shall crack that sky so I call My children to be ever ready.  Be ever ready, says the Lord, for I love you and I have prepared a place for you, and I Am ready.  For I delight in My children, those who are My own, they will never forsake Me nor turn their eyes to another lover, they are faithful to Me, and I Am faithful too.
 
    "All the nations will be gathered before Him [for judgment]; and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats;  and He will put the sheep on His right [the place of honor], and the goats on His left [the place of rejection].  “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God, appointed to eternal salvation], inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." (Matt. 25:32-34)
 
    "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." (Is. 60:2)
 
    "But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." (James 4:6)
 
    "So that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless." (Eph. 5:27)
 
Love,

 Change is nothing to fear, in fact, the way that you have been doing things warrants change.

Good morning,
 
     Change is nothing to fear, in fact, the way that you have been doing things warrants change.  You have been trying to do things your own way, and the voice of reason comes in and says, do it My way.  My way brings ease.  Change promotes you, change causes you to grow up, change causes you to see things as I see them, change is nothing to fear.  So as you allow Me to do the changes that are necessary for growth, understand that it may hurt just a little bit, but it is for your good.  The hurt comes when you release the familiar that has kept you from pressing forth into change.  I Am allowing the things in your life to shift somewhat for change, for it is for your benefit.  It is to cause you to breathe better, it will help you to see things the way that I see them clearer, walk more precisely, and be more diligent about My ways.  Everything happens to move you into a position to hear Me, to follow Me.  Understand that all things are rapidly shifting in the earth and I need you to be in the right place at the right time.  The enemy has tried to keep you bound so that you will not hearken to Me, and so that you can not see Me when I move and how.  He uses those things that are familiar, and ways that you have become accustomed to living in, be wise.  He uses familiar things to get your attention and your affection over on those things, people, and or feelings, so that you will not shift when I say shift,  you will not move when I say move, because you are holding on to usual, customary, and familiar things.
     Let go of those things, for they are actually binding you.  I will cause you to rise to a new place in Me, and that place is a place of stability.  I know the enemy has been whispering that the new place will cause your feet to shift like sand, but sand compacted together by Me becomes very secure and large, says the Lord.  So I Am saying, if you will allow Me, I will place your feet on the the firmest foundation ever known to you. Then the steps that you take will be steps that I have taken before you, thereby I will lead you into a place of truth, peace, and the place of your destiny.  Everything is shifting for your good, it is not to cause harm to you, for I Am your Father.  I love you, and everything that I do for you is for your good.
 
     "There is no fear in love [dread does not exist].  But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]." (1 John 4:18)
     “Stop dwelling on the past.  Don’t even remember these former things.  I am doing something brand new, something unheard of.  Even now it sprouts and grows and matures.  Don’t you perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert." (Is. 43:18-19) 
     "Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you.  Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour.  Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith.  For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.  And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever.  Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up." (1 Peter 5:7-10)
 
Love,
