Good morning, 
 
    I knew you, before there was ever a thought of you. I was thinking of you, I ordained every step of your life even the missteps you have taken out of My will. I knew the way that you would go and I have orchestrated all of them into My plan.  I have weaved them into My design. In order that you are able to stand, stand against all of the wiles of the enemy in this end time, he has unleashed demonic forces to cause a spirit of confusion even to those who are saintly, to those who are called, to those who are anointed. He is doing everything possible to cause a spirit of confusion to come upon the thought processes.

    But I Am giving you everything. You have the ability to knock down and destroy every thought that is not like Me. It can be found in my Word what I think, how I think, and what I say. And you know enough of my Word so arise and slay the giants in your land, in your thought processes in your life, and in your household. Arise and be the mighty warrior that I called you to be for a special anointing shall rest upon you. Do not take off the cloak but walk in it. Let it become so much heavier than any trouble or trial that you have ever had until it overwhelms you and overtakes you until you think like I think.  You will see the enemy before he even comes, and you will know his devious plans and how to defeat them. 

    All of the power and authority given to you it is not so that you can get a name for yourself. It is all about the King and the kingdom. It is about the kingdom. This army is not jealous, and is not envious. This army is all about one love. Their heart is running for one love, their purpose is for one love, so they love Me with all their heart and they love their brethren as themselves, and they are doing what I called and anointed them to do.
 
    You will find your position and complete the part that is missing. You will accomplish as one Body all that I said in My Word. This power of love will erase any confusion as you walk out My Word your clarity will illuminate every step forward. Through you My children My glory will fill the whole earth.
 
    "Blessed be His glorious name forever; let the whole earth be filled with His glory! Amen and Amen!" (Ps. 72:19)
 
    "For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]" (Ephes. 2:10)
 
    "For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the {full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). (2 Peter 1:3)
 
    "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (Ephes. 6:11)

Good morning,
 
I have brought you this way.
I have brought you this way.
Even though you say, "I have cried a lot".
Even though you sing, "I have cried a lot".  
I have bought you this way.  It was intentional.
Your tears have brought a harvest of joy.
Your tears, your tears will bring a harvest of joy. 
For those who sow in tears will reap in joy. 
Harvest is coming.  
Harvest is coming and it's filled with joy, so much joy.
The difficult ways, the difficult steps, the difficult way you gained the knowledge that you have.
The difficult way that you have known, it was done to make you more like Me.
I have seen to it says the Lord, I have brought you this way to bring about a greatness in your life, to bring about a greatness in your heart so that you would never be moved or be persuaded to do anything other than follow Me all the days of your life.
I have brought you this way, to make you stable and unyielding to testings.
You have seen many giants in your land and I have seen to it, says the spirit of grace and mercy, that they were brought down by your words, brought down by your worship, brought down by your praise.
I have brought you this way to make you the man, or the woman that you are today.  
I have brought you this way even though you did not understand, I knew the way.
I knew the way and I would not change the path to bring about what you are today.
I have brought you this way so that you might stand in times of difficulty, knowing who I Am, never being persuaded to go another way, never listening to the voice of the enemy who would cause you to sway.
I have brought you this way and this is what I planned for you even before you were formed in your mother's womb.  I knew the days, I knew the steps, I knew the way and I brought you this way to fashion and form you into the one who stands before Me, holy, fully persuaded to follow Me all the days of your life.
I have brought you this way, not easily moved by circumstances, nor situations.
I have brought you this way, even though you did not understand when you cried those tears.  I was taking those tears, and I was using them as seeds to multiply back to you a harvest of joy.
I have brought you this way and I knew that you would become the person you are today easily swayed by My spirit, not easily swayed by the enemy.
I knew exactly what I was doing in you.
I knew exactly what I was bringing you to.
I have brought you this way says the Spirit of God.
 
     You thought I had forgotten about you.  You thought I had left you in the valley but I Am a God who is faithful to the promises that I have made to you and I have called you to war with the promises that I have given to you.  Even when it looked like darkness surrounded you, I was even light in the midst of the darkness calling you and causing you to come up.  Come up higher, another step, come up  higher way with Me.  I know your tears, and I know your heartbreak, but now I have turned those things around for your good so that you can save and help many others who are in that place, in that valley, in that place of indecision where the enemy tries to confuse them.  Now you can direct them out of that valley into the light says the Lord.  I anointed your for this season, I anointed you for this time. I have never, never abandon you, but I anointed you for this time. I held you in My hand that is why you stand today.  It is no mighty powerful thing that you have done except yielding to Me, yielded to My way, yielded even when you did not understand what was going on and you held on to My hand.  I have made you, says the Lord into My image, that you might stand before men to bring them into the Kingdom in the last days.  For you know the way, and you know your Father, and you know My heart and it is because you have endured those difficult, hard, and trying things, that you know that I Am faithful, for I brought out. I will never leave you alone and I will never abandon you, but I Am working miracles, signs and wonders in you so that you can do them and walk in them.  That is who I Am, faithful to you, faithful to the call, faithful to My purpose, faithful to My plan, says the Lord.
 
     "And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit." (2 Corin. 3:18)
     "Light arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, and just [who are in right standing with God]." (Ps. 112:4)
     "They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing.He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping [at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing] shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." (Ps. 126:5-6) 
 
Love,
