I turn things around quickly for you saith the Lord. For the situations that seem to confront you daily treatening your peace are going to be placed behind you just as quickly as they appear, and the goals that I have set before you are going to advance instead beloved. Take heart, for I know the troubles that assail you and I have set My angels to compass about you. They shall form a shield around you to field the piercing arrows of the enemy. Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world so that you too may overcome. I will not suffer any harm to befall you for I have spread My wings and beneath them you are sheltered. Be of good cheer My little one. Thus saith the Lord.

Psalm 91:4
"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

The mark of a heart that is truly surrendered to Me is trust in Me saith the Lord. Do you trust Me beloved? Will you allow Me to take you into the areas of yourself that you have not previously known and reveal truths about you to you saith the Lord. For as I have desired truth in your innermost being so then will I reveal the truth about yourself first, that My truth may flow through. For when you have understood who you were created to be, what I have placed within you, and and how you are supposed to move in Me, then you shall know for a certainity that the thing you think, speak, and do are rooted in My truth saith the Lord. Trust Me and allow Me to reveal yourself to you saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord.

Psalm 51:6
"Surely you desire truth in the inner parts;
you teach me wisdom in the inmost place."

Come sit with Me awhile and counsel with Me saith the Lord. Let us reason together. The tasks I have set before you are not obscure, neither are they difficult to perform. For you thinketh with the strength of your mind and you plan on the strength of your body saith the Lord. But you cannot work the works I have ordained by the power of the flesh beloved, but only by the power of My Spirit. Think not on the how, the why, the where, and the when you will accomplish all I set forth for you to do, but set your thoughts on Me. Build your strength of spirit upon My Spirit. Be led and guided by the hand of My grace and set aside the works of the flesh. Triumph in every area of your calling by the power of My Spirit alone and give Me the glory. It is effortless. It is easy. Thus saith the Lord.

Ephesians 3:16,20-21
"16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."

Walk in Me with confidence. Proclaim My truth with boldness. Bring your petitions before Me in humility. For the evil of the days that are here and that are yet coming are great beloved. No one will be able to withstand it except they be found in Me saith the Lord. For in Me is where you shall be confident. In me is where you shall obtain boldness, and it is where you shall inherit meekness. For this is the combination of strengths that will cause you to overcome every fiery dart and every evil plan of the enemy in these days saith the Lord. Abide in Me and walk in the fullness of these strenghts. Thus saith the Lord.

John 15:5
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

Be still and know that I am God. When the water rises above your head and you are no longer in control, be still and know that I am God. When the winds of change and consecration seem to come at you from all directions, be still and know that I am God. When your mountains appear too high for you to climb, be still and know that I am God. When troubles come rolling over you and you do not know which way is up, be still and know that I am God. I am the God who will deliver you from the confusion of your soul this day. I am the God who will fill you with My peace and cause a calm to come into your spirit that will still every storm, ride every wind, level every mountain, and know My transforming power in every trial. Be still and know that I am God. Thus saith the Lord.

Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."

Arise out of the doom and gloom of your thoughts saith the Lord. Put aside all negative tendancies. Come away from that which causes despondency. Depart from lackadaisical attitudes and clothe yourself with new zeal, with fresh expectancies, and with childlike wonder once again saith the Lord. For the thoughts wherein you dwell and the attitudes you are entertaining shall only bring distraction and destruction to your spiritual walk saith the Lord. Arise in the newness of this day and drink in the fresh anointings of My Spirit. Think on all things pleasant and good and exciting. Sing praises and hymns unto Me and usher in the works of a higher faith in Me saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord.

Ephesians 5:15
"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.."

Come closer beloved. Take one step more towards Me. For I draw you to Myself by the sheer love in My heart for you beloved. Do not be hesitant, neither procrastinate for there is a special beat of My heart today that you must hear. Come closer. Listen well to the whisper of My heart and learn of the love that dwells richly there for you beloved. Love speaks, sometimes softly, oftentimes loud and clear. This day, I desire to whisper of My great love from great depths within Me. Come closer and learn of the love I have for you saith the Lord. For I desire to root you in the knowledge of that love, to give you a confidence and a boldness that wheresoever you go and whatsoever you do, you shall do it in the confidence of knowing you are well loved saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 31:3
"The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."

Like a baby I cradle you in My arms and rock you gently back and forth. I give you sweet rest My beloved, saith the Lord. For your soul has been burdened and wearied by your coming in and your going about….. here, there, and everywhere. Frantically you work and toil, you labor and sweat, and when you are tired, you run into My arms. You rest awhile and when you are rested you go back into the world. How long shall My Spirit contend with you beloved? How long shall you dwell betwixt two places. The time is near when My grace will no longer rest upon you and you will be sealed in the place where you stand. You cannot serve two masters beloved. Make your stand in Me this day, and stand your ground... and I will do the rest. Thus saith the Lord.

Matthew 6:24
""No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

In the time of your need I have held out My hand, but you did not take it so great was your grief. I have watched you overcome with sorrow and pain My hand still outstretched, but you seemed not to notice Me. Everytime, I called you continued as though I had not spoken. Then My grace flowed. I cleared your vision and through the waves of pain, the light of My hand rested on your shoulders. I quieted the noise of your sorrows and in the calm stillness of the night, I spoke words of healing and comfort. You responded as a moth to a flame beloved and it was then that I embraced you. Sweet, sweet peace flowed into you and restoration began in your soul. Do you remember beloved? Now again you are caught up in the cares of the world. Now again, you are overwhelmed in your hurting. Remember beloved. Look up. Take My hand. Receive My grace and be made whole. I am faithful and true and My hand of grace is ever extended towards you. Receive saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord.

Isaiah 57:18
"I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him,"

For I have loved with an everlasting love and I have called you to an eternal hope whereby you will no longer be contrained by that which is temporal, but you will become limitless as I am beloved. Yearn for such a time. Begin to believe like never before that it is at hand, for truly I say unto you that the time of My coming is soon. Prepare your hearts to receive Me with joy and gladness. For on that day, all shall be revealed and all shall be made right. The hour is at hand where despair shall no more reign, darkness shall no longer cover the earth and My glory shall be the everlasting light by which all men shall live. Rejoice with Me. Thus saith the Lord.

Revelation 21:2-4
"2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.""

Having come thus far in Me, are you now so wearied that your desire to turn back beloved. Will a traveller set out on a journey only to turn around when he is already quite far along. Will it not seem foolish when the distance to his destination is so much shorter than where he started from. Come let us reason together. Consider where I have brought you from and where I am taking you. Have you yet laid hold of that which you have set out for. Press forward beloved. Be steadfast and do not waver. Gird up your loins once more and look towards the goal which you have hoped for. Thus saith the Lord.

1 Peter 1:13
"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."

Come clean saith the Lord. Leave no vestige of impurity in the desires and thoughts that are plaguing you night and day. Thoughts that the enemy is using to bring you down. Desires that he is fueling inside of you to contaminate that which I have desired of you and for you. Allow no shame and no condemnation to come to you, but lay everything at the alter. Bring it all unto me and allow me to purge your mind and your heart. For I have seen your inner struggles. I have beheld the sweat of your brow as you sought to hold off the unclean thoughts and desires. Beloved, you cannot fight this alone. You no longer need to battle in silence, in secret. But come out into the open. Bring it all to me in prayer and supplication and I will do the needful. Be thou made clean. Thus saith the Lord.

Romans 13:14
"Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature."

The life that you are living for Me is not going unnoticed beloved. The trials and tribulations that you have gone through and the battles that you have fought have not gone unheralded saith the Lord. For all of Heaven carefully monitors every aspect of your walk beloved. They do not miss a beat. But faithfully your deeds are recorded. Look not unto man for your encouragement, but encourage yourself in Me knowing that I know even the thought you think before you think it beloved. I know what you have endured and I know what causes you to stumble. Know that I am ever beside you, to encourage, to strengthen, to comfort and to sustain you. I alone will lift up your head and I alone will bring you through. All of Heaven applauds the state of your heart and the works thereof. Be not discouraged or ashamed, but be encouraged and strengthened. Lift your head high knowing that you are not alone. Thus saith the Lord.

1 Samuel 30:6
"And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God."

The lies of the enemy that you have bought into are being brought to light beloved. Great wisdom I will impart in this hour as you begin see truth about what you have unknowingly received. This truth shall indeed set you free in the areas of your life that the enemy has had a hold. Recognize, receive and break free. Like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon you will come out into the new opportunities that now open up. For things that you were blind to, you shall suddenly see in great clarity. Seize the opportunity this new freedom presents to move in these arenas in which you were bound before. Walk, leap, run and fly into new possibilities as they appear. Fear not for I am with you. Thus saith the Lord.

John 8:32
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

That thing which you do, seemingly without conscious volition, that you not want to do, has been broken beloved. What has been a stronghold has now become a thing of the past. No more shall it hold you in bondage for I have set you free to do the things that you do want to do. Habits, traits of personality and character, and impulses to do that which harms your walk in Me cannot have a hold on you if you allow Me to deliver saith the Lord. Come... bring your broken dreams and that which holds you back. Lay it all before Me and begin to move as My Spirit leads. Walk into new freedom. Stand delivered and do not pick up again that which I have broken off you. Thus saith the Lord.

John 8:36
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

The path that you have been threading has been narrow beloved. You have felt the squeeze and the constraint many times and have cried out in fear. Now you are comfortable and you are beginning to enjoy where you are. You think you have passed through that narrow path and have come into a freeway. Such is the freedom you are experiencing. The exhilarating sense of openness and limitlessness brings great excitement to your spirit. It is just as I have ordained beloved. Know that the path has not changed, but you have. The squeezing and restrictions were not to bring you pain but to fit you into the path I have set for you and to remove the things from you that would hinder your walk in Me. The freedom you are experiencing is not a result of the path getting wider, but of you getting narrower in the flesh. Be at peace knowing that I make your path straight and your walk sure. Thus saith the Lord.

John 15:2
"He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."
