My Children, rest assured that I am in control and have your best interests in mind. You are not fish out of water, floudering without direction or the things you need. Rather, in me you have direction and have everything you need. There are many tribulations in this world, but rest assured I have overcome the world.  You, too, will overcome if you remain in me. Let my words remain in you as I remain in you.  I and my Word are one, just as I and my Son are one. My words are true and will complete the work they were set out to do.  Rest in my Word. Stand on my Word. Do not let the Enemy and the problems of this world pull you down or discourage you. There is no need for fear. When I am with you, you should never be afraid or confused. I will show you the way out of your problems. I will show you how to have perfect peace. Don’t think that what you see today will be the same thing that you see tommorrow. For in me you are being made new every day. You are changing and evolving, and as you grow and mature in me, your life and circumstances will also change and reflect this growth. It is never too late to have your hearts’ desires fullfilled. Do not be so quick to write off your dreams. I made you the way you are and want your heart alive, fresh, and full of wonder and joy. I want you to be full of praise at all the good things that I do, for how good I am.  My plan is to bless you, not to punish you. My plan is to give you a hope and a future full of good things.  Continue to seek me out for my will in your life. Trust and obey, and all will go well with you. Keep doing the things I’ve told you to do, and don’t do anything else until I tell you otherwise. I will speak clearly to you about the things you need to know when the time comes. I’ve planted much wisdom in your hearts and some things you already know.  Wait on me. I tell you I am a good God and a just God. I will bring justice to your life. I will restore what was stolen. I will right the wrongs. The wicked will not go unpunished. Please do not get discouraged at the wrongs you see, but give them to me and allow me to correct all things within time. I have a way that is different than yours, a way you do not understand. I will bring justice and I will also bring mercy. My will is to bless as many as will let me bless them. My plans are greater than you can comprehend. Your obedience is the key that unlocks the blessings, that allows me the opportunity to perform my best will for you. I can only move within your will. I love you so much. I will help you succeed.  I will pick up the pieces and help you correct the mistakes that you made. It is never too late to start over. Never too late for me to restore and fix the things that went wrong. I am a God of the impossible. Never forget that. I can do all things.  I just want to show you how awesome and wonderful I am. Let me show you. I am your Father and my love for you is perfect-without fault. It is and will be everything you need. It is what restores your life. It will make you well and full of joy.  Be blessed my children, and know my love and goodness.

Your Father God.

It’s a rainy afternoon, and the rain is comforting. It is lazy. It seems to make time stand still.

My daughter has a raw, sore throat from acid reflux and wasn’t up for going to school today. She threw up about once or twice a day for about a week and a half straight, although that part seems better, now. I am concerned about her missing so much school. She is on medication to make things better.

My husband isn’t working and that has really added some strain to our family. He quit his low-paying but stable job to take a “commisison only” job in mid November and has made one sale since then earning about $219. They misled him into the job, leading him to believe he would have a regular base pay which never panned out. After several months with no success, he finally quit that job about a month ago and now is looking for a more reliable job. He went on a second interview today. I’m hoping he gets it and it turns out to be legit and not another job that misleads him and misuses him.

In the mean time, my income is really not sufficient because I only work four days a week and half my income goes to taxes and medical expenses. I supply the entire family with medical insurance and also make use of a flex spending account.  In  3 months we’ve spent $900 already on one ER visit, $500 for glasses for Steve and Nina, and the rest on doctor’s visits and some specialists. Steve is scheduled for eye surgery next month which will deplete the rest of the money in my flex account. I’m a little worried about how we will take care of ourselves the rest of the year. However, if Steve doesn’t get his eyes fixed, he won’t be able to work very well and I need him to work.

God challenged me in February, though, and told me that if I can submit my finances to him and tithe reguarly-something I’ve struggled to do consistently in the past-then within a year we would be financially stable and our poverty would be a thing of the past. So, I’ve made a point to pay my tithe before my rent and other bills. There’s no money left over for food, gas, or household expenses-so this has been a true stretch of faith. So far, our church has been regularly supporting us with Foodlion cards and Wawa gas gards, so we have survived. God also gave me wisdom with the finances so we would not go homeless. As tough as it was, I had to stop paying for all my husbands bills so that we could survive. Anything that was not necessary, like netflix and credit monitoring I completely eliminated. I’ve also been steadily trying to establish myself in the art world, but that is a slow process. I look at it as investing in the talents God gave us.

There was one pay period last month in which all my bills were caught up and so in rare moment of self-indulgence I decided to buy myself a graphic tablet. I had waited 11 years for Steve to make extra income or to get it as a gift, but  finally decided this was never going to happen so I bought it myself for about $200 figuring the next opportunity might be 10 years later. I also invested in getting my laptop fixed-what I thought was fixed. According to Steve Sony could fix it for $120. Turns out that was just to look at it, so there went 120 down the drain for nothing. It would be $1,000 to fix which we obviously don’t have and why would we ever pay that when we could just buy a new, nicer laptop for that amount? Well, the bank got suspicious because others had been taking money out of our account which I never authorized so they blocked Sony. I did take care of the other matters, but we’ve been playing phone tag with Sony and the bank, and in the mean time they still have my broken laptop. I actually cried when I finally found out that my computer wasn’t getting fixed.

Sounds stupid, but it ’s hard to get anything done when you have to wait for others not to be using their computer before you get a chance to use it. In my household that maybe amounted to about once a week for a few hours-not enough time to check email, add new artwork to my galleries, new blog writings, or to add another viewing gallery to my creativepassages.net website. Well, I did some things, just not as much as I wanted. I wondered if I was being punished for buying the graphic tablet?

If that wasn’t enough, just this past week my husband’s laptop broke and the old computer (without internet connection) that I used for my photoshop broke-we think it is the graphic card. So now we are down to one desktop in the household for the entire family which doesn’t work very well.

I read an article today on how to sell your art on-line at linked and they suggested you be part of 10 internet galleries, so I decided to join one more, Noenga, but it took 20 minutes just to upload one picture there with this slow, messed up computer and the picture didn’t even load right, so I decided to give up and write instead.

Hint. Hint. So what do you think God is trying to say to me? It’s like he stripped me of every fleshly comfort possible. I started singing that song “How He Loves Us” to myself by Kim Walker (Lyrics by  John Mark McMillan) “He is jealous for me. Loves like a hurricane. I am a tree, bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.”

This is usually where I get confused, what does God bring on versus what does the Enemy bring? I think I sometimes blame God for what the Enemy does, but I picture God up there like it is described in Job, saying “Look at my servant down there….You can do this or that as long as you don’t do this.” (Job chapters 1 and 2.)

My Pastor believes Job brought it on himself through fear and through the fear his hedge of protection came down, but I’m not so sure I am convinced because the book of Job starts out saying that Job was a ” blameless and upright man.” (Job 1:1) To me, this implies we get punished for fearing and if you have been a victim of abuse, you can’t help but fear a few things. I don’t think God holds it against us, but helps us overcome it. I honestly think that God simply allows us to be tested in order to overcome. I truly think that the testing allows us to grow in God and to grow in our faith. Well, we know that to be true because it says so in the word. He doesn’t bring the bad thing on, but he allows it and then works the bad thing for the good (Romans 8:28.)

…we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)

Personally, this is what God told me (this is only part of it.) I share this with you because I think it might apply to some of you and encourage you.

“Do not lose heart. I am with you. I am strengthening you. I will help you get thought these times. Just trust in me. Just focus on me. Look to me as your Source. When you are miserable look to me. I will be your comfort. I will teach you how to overcome and find comfort in me. Press in. Do not give up! Do not fold up, but press in! I am the Answer. I am the Deliverer! I am the Source! I am the Provider! Trust me! Let me be your Source! You will getmore used to trusting me. You will see that I am a  good God. This is the only way I can take you where you need to go. Your suffering is not in vain. I will bring much good out of it. Trust me. Not a moment of your grief will be wasted. I’ve bottled your misery and sorrow. I will release an even greater measure of joy in exchange for that grief. It will be 70 x7. Do you believe me? You are in for great joy, but you must not give up.”

He basically showed me that as I overcome, I will then lead others to do the same. His plan is to give us victory in the areas that challenge us and then to use us to minister to others who are then struggling with what we now have victory in.

He also said, “You have not made some fatal mistake. For I knew you from the beginning, and I knew how long it would take you to journey to your breakthrough and your complete trust and security in me. I made you the way you are and I am a patient God. You are worth the wait. You are growing and I am so proud of you. Don’t stop. Keep pushing upwards in me. You will have increased revelations and visitations as you pursue me.”

At another time recently God also told me this, “I only want to show you a  deeper level of trust and revelation, a deeper spiritual walk. I desire this for all of you. You must each die to your flesh and go through a purification process in order for this to happen.  If you’re willing, there will be increase at the end of this trial period and a greater anointing. I wouldn’t ask this of you if there were not alot at stake. The level of ministry and anointing I have for you requires a greater level of maturity, character, and selflessness. If you are willing to go through about a year of being stretched thin and denying your own needs and desires, you will come out the other side victorious and ready for service.”

The answer is that he loves us, and therefore he tests us. The Enemy would make us believe that the testing means just the opposite. That God wants to deprive us, doesn’t care about us, overlooks us, doesn’t hear our cries, etc. But God does hear us, does care. He wants more for us. He cares and wants us to really have the important things in life, things that last eternally, things that will give us an even deeper level of joy and security. Unfortunately, this trust and security he wants us to have doesn’t usually come instantly, it comes only after being tried, therefore rejoice in your trials and sufferings because it leads to more hope…some versions of that Romans 5:3-5 scripture say that we will lack no good thing.

Job 7: 17-19 NIV says, “What is man that you make so much of him, that you give him so much attention, that you examine him every morning and test him every moment? Will you ever look away from me, or let me alone for even an instant?”

Psalms, 10:14 NIV “But you oh God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless…17 “You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them and listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed…”

Job 5:17 NIV, Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will befall you. In famine he will ransom you from death; and in battle from the stroke of the sword. You will be protected from the lash of the tongue and need not fear when destruction comes. You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the beasts of the Earth. For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you. You will know that your tent is secure. You will take stock of your property and find nothing missing. You will know that your children will be many, and your descendents like the grass of the Earth. You will come to the grave in full vigor like sheaves gathered in season. We have examined this and this is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself.”

Some parts of Job were simply the opinions of him and his friends, some of which were not correct, but I believe that particular phrase is correct, because of the special emphasis that was made at the end as well as the fact that Job indeed did end his life full of vigor, joy, and abundance, despite the 9 months that he suffered in almost every kind of way imaginable.

Through my own experience of suffering God has shown me that his love is consistent, that his love never fails. And where my well being is connected to the choices-good or bad-of others around me like my husband or even my president, God has shown me that although there might be repercussions for me as a result of other’s negative choices, he will still be there to protect me and take care of me, and give me wisdom to get through it safely. God wants us to get to a level of security where we trust him no matter what is going on around us. Once you get to that place, nobody can take it away from you. It is a beautiful, blessed place. That type of security in God is worth more than anything and worth the small price we might pay along the way to get there.

I’m willing to pay the price. I want God more than anything else, and I’ll wait for however long it takes for him to shine his great light on me and announce “The dawn has come! The waiting is over. Your fullness has arrived.”

There will be a counterfeit “move of God” that looks alot like revival. It will be full of healings, signs, wonders, and miracles, but it won’t be led by God at all. It will be led by Satan and his angel armies (demons.) It’ll deceive many who are looking for for the thrill, the signs, wonders, and sensations more than they are God.  It’ll seem quick and easy, exciting. It’ll be a chance to get some quick fixes to long standing problems. It’ll be a way to prosperity. It’ll be so tempting and so luring, many who were once on the right path will turn and slowly, gradually be led astray, away from God into the darkness of hell and deprivation. They won’t even know it. They will think they are serving the Lord. They will be so full of themselves and so proud of all the “good things” that are happening. By the time they realize their mistake, it might be too late, and with a high cost to pay. There will also be a “pseudo love” and a “feel good” movement that goes along with this counter movement which fools people into thinking that this move is from God when in actually it is only a smoke screen to lead people into a  trap, much like cults lead victims into their groups by tons of hugs, attention, affirmations, encouragement, concern, etc. The true results or fruits of this movement won’t be seen till much later, when irrevocable damage has already been done. Many will be fooled.

Others will more deliberately turn away, tired of being “patient” and “waiting on the promises.” Satan will promise them what they have been waiting so long for, and grant it instantly in exchange for their soul. It may be money, fame, or power that he promises. They won’t realize until after it is too late, that it wasn’t worth the price they had to pay, and that its fullfillment still leaves them empty and aching. So many people are tired of hurting and Satan will prey on their weakness, on their doubts, on their insecurities.

Satan and God operate in oppositie ways. Satan offers immediate gratification, while God sometimes makes you wait. Satan is about fullfillment of the flesh while God is more concenrned about the fullfillment of your spirit. Satan might make you feel good temporarily, but you’ll spend eternity in hell. God might allow you to go through a trial or tough time temporarily, but you’ll spend eternity in heaven where you will have a perfect , abundant life, without any problems or pain. God is concerned about you for the long term. He wants what’s best for you. He knows what’s best for you. Let Him be the one that leads you, and ultimately you will end up a lot happier than the other way around.

Don’t be one of the ones who get fooled, who get led astray, or who get seduced by the temptation. Trust God. You may be going through a hard time, but He’ll give you the strength to get through it.  He really is a good God, and he can take care of your needs better than Satan can. Satan is not interested in taking care of you or in giving you what you want. He just wants to trick you, get you distracted, use you to hurt others, and destroy your life. Also, he’s not likely to say, “I’m Satan. Follow me.” He’ll trick you. But know this, anytime you’re not following and serving God, you are instead following and serving Satan.

Here is the dream I had about a week ago which I feel speaks on these issues.  I really feel that God wants me to write about it.

In the dream, first of all, I am in some kind of house. I think its my own house. I may have just moved there. I hear a knock on the door. I can see out the window that there are some people on the front steps. They look very attractive and inviting, friendly, down-to earth people, not threatening in the least. They remind me of Jehovah witnesses. For some reason, I am very excitied to meet them and go out of my way to travel from one side of the house to the other to get there in time to open the door, but I have no idea who these people are. I open the door to greet them and sit down with them on the front steps. It is a nice day out. They are smiling and seem friendly and so am I. Immediately, one of them speaks and says, “We are demons and we are here to possess you.”  I  think they offered me a quick fix for my financial problems, money and fame, and I remember the temptation being so great because we are so financially hurting right, now, but ultimately my heart yearns to be with the Lord, and so no amount of money or anything could deter that. No way would I ever give God up for anything. He is worth more to me than anything in the universe. I say, “No. I rebuke you Satan!” I am fighting to get the words out, but I successfully rebuke him.

Next thing I know the dream shifts. I am now just observing a scene. It is at the beach at night. There are many people riding horses carrying torches. They are all very excited and energized, saying , “whoohoo” and things like that. This is all the people in the counterfeit movement. They are all following along with Satan and his demons, but they believe they are in revival and experiecing the miracles of God. They were all having a lot of fun and enjoying themselves, but they didn’t realize where they were going. They didn’t see that they were fooled. Many were people who professed to be Christian.

I know this sounds kind of scary. I’m not saying that revivals, signs, wonders, and miracles are not of God. They most certainly are. But Satan is a counterfeit, and you can believe that anything good Satan will make a counterfeit out of it. That doesn’t make the authentic one evil, just the counterfeit.

God can do all kinds of strange things and He sometimes does just for fun. Just so people will stop thinking so much and start filling themselves up with his presence. People may laugh, fall down, roll over, run laps…who knows…any of this could be God moving or perhaps not.

So how can you tell? Well, the bottom line is who gets the glory? Who is being served? Is it God or man? In whose name are the miracles getting done? Is it in the name of Jesus? Is sound doctrine being preached consistent with the word of God? What types of fruit are being made manifest from the event (fruits of the spirit or fruits of the flesh -Galatians 5:22)? Is there only one God? Only one way to truth, life, and salvation, which is found in Jesus our Lord who is the son of God born as a man who died on the cross and rose again the 3rd day; who was slain for the redemption of all sins so that those who believe can have eternal life?

If you stay close to God and stay in his word, you won’t get fooled. Just stay in His word, obey Him, follow Him. You’ll do fine. God won’t let you go astray.

It’s a new day and a new season. Rejoice, do not be afraid, for I am with you and I am your God. I love you and will protect you. I will keep you in safe-keeping. Safe guard your hearts and stand on my word. Do not let yourselves be discouraged by what comes against you. Remember who I am. Remember my power. I am with you. I am kind. I am for you, not against you. These attacks are not of me. When the world is confused around you, turn to me. I have the answer. I will show you the way you should go. I will speak to you of mysteries, reveal hidden things, and expose hidden dangers. Remember, I am on your side. I have much in store for this new season. You can expect my hand to move and to see an increase in the supernatural. Expect to see miracles, healings, and deliverance. Never forget that my hand is not too short to touch you, change your circumstances, and give you the thing you need. The question is, “Do you trust me?” The question also is, “Will you serve me?” Will you choose to make me your first love? The one you desire, the one you cling to, the one you serve? I will not do you wrong, but will bless you and keep you in the center of my will if you will allow me. In these coming days you will see a great distinction between those that are for me and those that are against me. There will be pockets of great evil, but there will also be pockets of great light, miracles, revival, renewal, regeneration. Let me lead you and guide you in the way you should go. Contend for your families, your neighbors, your friends, your city, and your nation that they may be in the light and not overcome by darkness. The hour is at hand where legions of demons are being released against this great earth. Do not fear, for this has long been known, and I am with you. They cannot touch those whom I have anointed and saved. Walk in my light and unify to protect your families, neighbors, friends, city, and nation. Make a call of protection around your designated areas as you connect with other believers through prayer and fasting. Let go of all those entanglements that separate you, and take on the bond of love and the yoke of forgiveness. You must learn to love one another. There will be strength in numbers, and in some case your survival will depend on it. Learn to trust me and discern my voice clearly. You must be able to discern properly and cultivate your own relationship with me for there will be many who are deceived. Do not follow leaders because they seem Godly, but follow me and let me show you whom to trust and whom to follow. Learn to hear my voice clearly. Do not worry about what tomorrow holds, but take one day at a time and seek direction from me on how to manage and go about your day. I will give you fresh revelation. Walk in courage, knowing I am with you. I have many gift, mantles, and blessings I am releasing in this day-season- to equip you. You will not lack anything a long as you stay in my will. This is an exciting time, a time I am moving in increasing measure! Let your hearts be filled with gladness and eager anticipation at the good I will be doing. Delight yourself in my ways. Rejoice in the blessings, and guard your heart against the discouragement the Enemy throws your way; for I am with you and I am greater than anything of the world. I will love you always and remain faithful to you. Will you remain faithful to me? Open up your hearts right, now, to receive from me for I want to move in your life even, now. Today is a brand new day. Receive my presence, my joy, my wonder, my expectation. You will be blessed!

Love your Savior and best friend,

Your Father God

Be encouraged! Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added onto you.

Heart Transformation, acrylic on canvas, created December 8th, 2009

God says, “I know what I am doing, and I have not forgotten you. My hand is behind the scenes, working things out for you. This season of testing won’t last forever, but I am working things out in you so that you can have things that last eternally. Oh, my dear people, I love you so much. Do not think that I don’t care about you or what you’re going through. For I see everything. I also see inside your heart. Trust me in this process. Nothing happens that I don’t know about. My people, I am making you rich through blessings that will last eternally. I am calling you to come under my shelter where I can take care of your every need. Trust me for what you need. Ask. Believe. I will give you only those things that are good for you. Remember, you have free will and can seek outside my will for you, too, but my plans are better and will ultimately make you happier. If you truly want to be happy and blessed, give up your will and submit to me and my will for you. I have treasures laid out in heaven with your name on them. If you only knew my thoughts for you-how loving and kind they are! Do not lose heart in these circumstances. In an instant, in a suddenly, I can turn things around. I am in charge of the whole universe! Whatever I say goes! Do you trust that? Get to know me and walk in my ways. You will be empowered with my authority to overcome the enemy in your life to tread on scorpions and serpents, to cast out demons. Nothing will be too difficult for you! Meditate on my word so you can be an overcomer instead of a victim! Seek me and I will be found. I want to have the type of relationship with you where you can hear me clearly. I’m always speaking to you, always with you. Listen. I have instruction for you which will help you overcome, which will settle your souls. There is no reason to be anxious when I am with you. I will take care of you. Press, press, press into me so you can become sure of in these things. I want to life you up higher to a place of security. You can walk in this security regardless of your circumstances. My people perish for lack of knowledge, for not applying my word to their circumstances, or walking in my ways. Walk in the Truth. Walk in the Light. You will be blessed! Turn away from former things. Let me do a new work in you, and I will! I will create in you a new heart. I will fill you up so completely there is no room for darkness. Are you ready? Will you let me? My plans are so good and I want so much for you. I love you so much. Today is a new day, and all former things are passing away, as I work in your heart, a heart transformation. Expect me to move. Expect to see me move in your life! Call on me and I will show you great and mighty things! Be blessed! Be encouraged!

Your father, God.

And I will put my spirit in you so you will obey my laws and do whatever I command.” (Ezekiel 36: 25-27)

“My people perish from a lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)

 “…because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.” 7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! 10Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. 12Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13″Make level paths for your feet,”[b] so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed. (Hebrews 12:6-13)

Mid July 2009; word given at beginning of TACF service.

It is a time of refreshing. Enjoy my presence! I am taking you to a whole new level. Rejoice, for this is just the beginning! I am here in your mist. Ask of me for I am a good, merciful, and just God. I have your best interest in mind. Ask of me. I am faithful to deliver what’s in my Father’s heart, and are not you me and the father one? Walk in my grace. Walk in my love. Walk in my joy. Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself. You only have today. Press into me. Let me order your day. I will give you divine guidance. You can’t go wrong this way! Quit trying to make things complicated, for I am a simple God. I have made things simple for you. Obey me and do my word and all will go well with you. Seek me first and all these things shall be added onto you. Do not worry or fret because I hold the whole world in the palm of my hand, including you, and I have your best interest in mind, plans to prosper you and give you a hope and a future. Do not grow weary in doing good. In due time you will reap your rewards. Hold on to my promises. Stand on my word. For I am a faithful God. I will take care of you. I will more than take care of you. I will give you a beautiful life. Do you trust me? Then give me everything. Trust me with your burdens. You have been carrying far more than I intended for you. Remember, seek me first, and do only those things I ask you to do, and your burdens will be lightened. Trust me to take care of the rest. Do not run around confused, for I am not the author of confusion, but of divine order. I have it all planned out. Just do your part. Be faithful with what I have given you, with the job I have given you to do. Walk in my ways. Walk in my love. I am pouring down such a blessing that you will not be able to contain it! Rejoice for the time is at hand. I am bringing my peace and joy. I am raining down my glory and working things out in you so your joy will be complete. Again, I say rejoice, for I have heard your prayers, and I am opening up the heavens! Open up your hearts to receive me, for I am coming in increased measure, in increased power in your life, just for you to manifest my glory on this earth. Listen carefully, be obedient, and watch what I will do! It will be magnificent! You will be part of it! Rejoice, for I am good and I love you very much!

Your God

This seems to be a season of loss and transition right now for many. God says he is doing away with former things. We must allow him to help us let go and transition into the new season. God has new things in store for us, new blessing we might not even be aware of or able to see because we are stuck in old ways of seeing things and doing things. Although there is great loss and pain in the letting go, God says to trust him because he loves us and has good things in store for us. God says, Do not despair. For I see your heart and will comfort you. Trust me with your heart. In this dark place you will discover me. Allow yourself to be uncomfortable for awhile, to let go of any anchors or comforts aside of me. I need you to be able to lean on me and trust me completely as I take you into this new season. There is no other way.  There is no other way I can take you there. Too many of you have relied on other things for your security, but believe me you will not go wrong by trusting in me for I am a good God and have your best interest in mind. For don’t you know that I know your heart, and I know what’s good for you? Remember, I created you. Trust me in this dark, uncertain time, for your season of joy is just around the corner, but it will not look the way you expected. I will bring about blooms in the desert, streams in the desolate places. This is the season where my spirit is working in your spirit to produce light and joy and things that will last eternally, not dependent on your circumstances or outside influences, only one me. Rejoice in your sufferings, for I am at hand, close beside you, through the valley of the shadow of death. Hold me hand. I will lead you through this place. You will be all right. Your grief will not last forever. For the sun is rising and tomorrow is a new day. My glory is rising for all to see across the land!

I am creating in you a new heart. Do not be afraid because I am doing a new work in you. Through these trials and tribulations you are encountering I am refining you. Do you not know that you are not part of this world? Why then you do get so uptight, tossed to and fro by the wind, because of your circumstances? My child I have set you apart from the world. I have called you by name. You are not limited to this world or bound my your circumstances. Arise now and take dominion over these things. Use the authority I’ve given you to call things that are not as though they are. I did not create you to be a victim, but to be an OVERCOMER! You are created to be above and not below, the head and not the tail. Do you know who I am? Really? If you did and if you understood my love for you, you would not be afraid. My love for you is bigger than any problem that you encounter. Do you not see that my Kingdom is available to you? Rise up, now, come to this place of authority. You see, I have created you for such a time as this. I created you to shine like a light in this dark world. The world will see that you are set apart, that I have called you as my own. I am calling for a bride, set apart, without wrinkle or blemish. Will you let me make you holy? Will you let me burn away anything in you that is not pure? Do you understand that I am calling for a new order of things? I am calling you to a higher level of holiness. You say you want to know me, yet sin in your life has separated you from my revelation. My revelation comes as you become more pure. I am seeking those pure in heart, those that want me above anything else. I am looking for those who will do my work, not for their own selfish ambition, but because they love me and want to see me be lifted higher and want to see my love poured out for all the people. If you trust me, you will not do things of your own accord, but will wait on my timing. I am building a strong foundation in you, of solid love, one that can hold the weight of my glory. Please prepare yourselves and allow me to do this work in you. Study my Word to show yourselves approved. Let me show you areas that you have withheld from me, where you have not trusted, for I want to do away with all sin and fear in you. Do not think that you have arrived, for you have higher yet to go. I want to show you new things. I desire to release my revelation to you. Do not worry about falling back, for I will uphold you. I have you in the palm of my hand. If you place your trust in me I will not let you fail. I will not disappoint you. My plans for you are very good, to give you a hope and a future, to fulfill your dreams, for you to have a destiny greater than your wildest imagination! Come up here, bride, where I am, in the secret place. Let me love on you! My love is greater than anything imaginable! It will be enough-always. I will create in you a new heart so overflowing, so full of my love, that my glory will be released wherever you go! You say you want signs, wonders, and miracles. They will come as you put me first and obey me, as you put your motives right, and seek to glorify my name and not your own. I created you, my love, to be poured out on the world, to drawn all men unto me. For I have so much to give, I need willing and faithful servants that I can trust. Will you be that bride? Will you ready yourself for me? I am waiting for you my beloved. I will always love you! Forever!

Your Father God.
