My Spirit – the Place of Calm

To wait upon Me is a discipline. Turn your head not to the right nor to the left, but look unto Me. I have set the pathway before you. Beware of anything that would try to turn you away from My Way. There is great danger in turning away, so walk in My Spirit, and tune in closely to Me.

The enemy of your soul tries to confound and trip you up. Fear and oppression is of the enemy, but I have come to free you from his bondage. In this hour of violence in the world, people need Me more than ever before. They need My protection to guard against attacks and to deliver them when they do come.

The time you set apart and make to wait upon Me is vital to the close walk you need to receive My direction and guidance. I call you to walk in My way in this hour. Study My Word and draw deeply from it, for I am calling you to time apart with Me in the secret place…set apart from the activity of the world about you. Retain the revelations I bring to you, for they will be spirit and life to you in this vital hour. I have not brought you this far to lose you, My child. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I am with those who are with Me.

Regardless of the circumstances about you, My Spirit is the place of calm. Come into My presence in quiet and solitude. Be still and know that I am God…even in the midst of overwhelming circumstances throughout the earth. Commune with Me and find your peace. I am your refuge and your hiding place in the midst of a storm…in the midst of times of danger.

Always be willing to have Me cleanse away any spot which may creep into your life through the struggles of life; for I would have you cleansed, prepared, and ready for the days ahead. Those who are looking unto Me for protection, provision, and guidance will not be disappointed; for I will provide this for those who are faithful to Me and My way.

Act in a spirit of love and patience, and walk in kindness to those who are in darkness; for you are a seed planter and may be the one who brings them to the truth. I will reveal to you some who have an earnest desire to know me…those who are not double-minded but have singleness of heart. These look unto Me but need the helping hand of one who has gone before. Strengthen these with My Word and help them to find their way in My Spirit and Truth.

Allow Me to be a beacon to shine through your life to those who are stumbling and falling in the darkness around them. Such will bring great peace to you soul.

Never Discount God’s Voice

“In majestic skies, in flowing waters, through My Word, and in the quiet and stillness I come to the inner recesses of your heart, but never discount My Voice as I speak out to you above the rumble and chaos of life…of activity. Be still when you hear My Voice call to you. Take note when I call to direct or guide, offer encouragement, or just whisper My Presence. I am with you at all times, in the quiet and in the loud,  just as a dear Friend, ever ready to reveal wondrous things you nee; but be responsive to My nearness when you sense it. Never give up because of distractions, for that may be the very time I am about to reveal something necessary to the feeding of your spirit, the leading of your life, or a major shift in direction.

“I must not be limited to times of quiet and silence only. Never limit Me. Give me free rein with your spirit. Expect Me to show Myself to you in ways that will lead and guide. Those who walk in My Spirit daily shall not miss the evidence of My leading nor My power. It is appropriated by faith. Believe that I can and will do all that I have promised. Apply this to your life and circumstances. I will be there…in the midst of them. My children will not be left helpless. You will never see the righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread. No honest, righteous heart for Me is denied. I surround My servants. Be My disciple wherever you are – especially in these unsettled times.

“Become grounded in My word. Learn the lesson of seeking My Face daily, for this is the way I lead My people. Preparation is needed for the days that are coming upon the earth. You must be unencumbered to be truly free in Me. I need your time, your attention. Do not fear; you will be taken care of in ways you would have never imagined as you walk in obedience to Me. Roll all over upon Me; be bold in your witness. Fear not the critical remarks and attitudes of others; I strengthen you for the days ahead as you look to Me.

“Your calm is an indication of My presence.  It is fruit in the form of peace and self-control.  Allow it to bear itself readily and at all times.  Calm and praise of Me, coupled with love and an obedient heart are an undefeatable combination!  Nothing, not even the strong man himself, can touch you and leave a mark.  My children will not be left helpless.  I will come to their rescue and defense every time they look unto Me and call upon My Name.  No honest heart for Me is denied.  Be My disciple wherever you are.

“For those who truly follow Me will continue to be calm and issue sweet praises to God even in the face of dark days and times of turmoil.  I hear all sincere praises, and I will reward. For ahead is life with Me and crowns for the faithful. Remain faithful, and you will not be lost from Me, remaining under the sheltering presence of my love and truth.

“Continue with Me. Obey. Obey. Obey. Always obey. Fear nothing but the act of not obeying Me. Be patient and joyful even in the face of tests and trials. Love those around you and feel not guilty about the time spent with Me. It is right and is as it should be. Nothing should take precedence. Watch for the calm times, and I will take care of your solitude with Me. Stand in faith, and doubt not. Remain close and listen often. There is much strength and peace for those who press in to see and hear Me. I am always here, and I am always speaking.

Courage to Listen

You must have the courage to listen to My Spirit as I speak to you through My Word and in prayer.  Be listening for the sound of My voice in the face of circumstances.  Hear Me speak through My people, the Church, but know them that labor among you.  Know them that are Mine by the fruit of their lives.  This will be revealed in the character, virtue and integrity of their lives.

Judge all prophecy that you hear from  those whose lives you know not. Judge it so see if it is holy and pure, or if it is arrogant, haughty and of mixed motives.  Words which are of My Spirit will not betray My nature of love and My character of holiness.

When the arrogant rise up, do not be impressed or moved by their words, even though their words are interspersed with truth.  Listen for My Voice within their voice and hold fast to the truth that is released by My Spirit that is holy.

When I come to speak to you, it will be from My secret place that is ever a place of holiness and purity.  Do not receive any other spirit.  Study My Word anew and afresh.  Soak in My Truth.  Become reacquainted with My words of old.  Though they be familiar to you, let them be as fresh manna for this day.  Feed upon them, for without them, you will be faint and have not My strength.

Allow Me to ever be thy feeder…..the One who opens My truth anew to you day by day.  Honor the leadership….My voice of  authority you are under, for that is wisdom.  Take your joy and pleasure from those who speak My words as the mouthpiece of My authority.

The refreshing is in My Word.  The answer to your hunger, your need is in My Word.  Allow Me to teach you by My Spirit through My Word spoken with authority.  I am the Bread of Life.  I am the One who interprets and explains My truth to My sheep through those I have called, appointed and anointed.  I lead and guide into all truth.  These who are under My authority are the ones through whom I speak with authority.

Have courage to listen attentively with an ear to hear and a will to obey that which I speak to My people.  The only way one may know what I am saying is to know what I have said.  Therefore, know My Word.  Study to show yourself approved unto Me, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.

Find protection, shelter, comfort, refuge and healing in My Word.  My Word is truth.  You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Revelation Knowledge: My Life Giving Flow

I did not bring you out of the wilderness of Moab, only to have you return to those who are still crying in it! Many are they who reside on the plains of Moab…in the place of indecision, not yet crossed over. They have not yet chosen full surrender to My purpose and plan for their lives…they still hold fast to the control of their lives.

They are calling your name. They want you to return to them…to “adapt to them” in their indecision. Do NOT look back. Do NOT look aside to them or to what “they say”. Do not look to the left or the right. Do not return to the land of questioning and doubt – of analysis, for it is of the head and not the heart.

Those who live by their psyche – their human soul or mind, the mental structures of their being as their main motivating force always try to “figure out”, to decipher, to analyze their way. These things are of the “world system of domination” which shall burn up! Those whose hand is attached to such systems will be burned as the system burns. Remove your hand from such systems. Lift them up to Me instead!

”World systems of domination” do not look to Me who is THE WAY! World systems attempt to “analyze” apart from My revelation knowledge. To seek answers apart from Me is “man oriented”. It is what “mere man” does..because it is all he CAN do apart from Me.

The legitimate desire in people to want to “know WHY” and gain understanding about many things is not bad…but to fulfill that desire apart from Me who IS Wisdom and Understanding is to seek to eat of the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil” rather than to eat of the “Tree of Life!” And to eat of the former brings death!

Eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil may relieve some tension. Man’s method of bringing “relief” attempts to remedy problems. But bringing “relief” does not bring redemption, for ONLY My Holy Spirit can bring such supernatural CHANGE and eternal healing from the INSIDE…OUT!

Do not come to Me from your mind, but humble yourself before Me to receive revelation of Myself to your spirit. I will heal and restore any part of your mind or emotional that need healing or restoration, and I will teach and instruct and renew your soul…your mind and your emotions so that you can walk fully with Me.

Look away from ALL that would distract…unto ME! As I have said, draw near to Me…not to people…not to remedies. Lift ME up…not people…not remedies…and I will draw ALL men who hear of Me unto Me through the testimony of My Truth!

Give others JESUS out of the overflow of what I have poured into you…and others will come to Me, for My power is eternal to the Heavenlies! My revelation knowledge is the Life-giving flow!

Strengthened by His Voice

“Personal habits not formed by me can bind and limit. Know that many such personal habits and spiritual discipline are not the same. I know My children individually, and that which may work for one may not work in another’s life. Be sensitive to My leading…to My timing, and I will reveal that which will work best in you. Trust Me with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. Acknowledge Me in all your ways, and I will direct your path.

“Coming to Me early in the morning strengthens and frees you to be available to others during the day, but let this not limit when you should come or how much time to spend with Me on any given day. I have called My people to ‘pray without ceasing’, and that means that my called out ones, must be ‘ever given to the spirit of prayer,’ all throughout the day.

“I have varying things I would say to you at different hours in the day. Sometimes I call in response to a certain situation, so you must be ever given to that ‘certain sound’ of My Voice. Just be ever attentive, paying attention, and listening , for I am always speaking. Recognize what I am saying to you.

“I am as near as the mention of my Name. Call upon Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know. Do not be afraid. Do not hold back from looking unto Me at all hours of the day or night. I never slumber nor sleep, and I am watching to perform My Word when my children call upon Me in Spirit and in Truth.

“There is a time and a season for everything, a time for every purpose under heaven; so look to Me, call upon My Name day by day, moment by moment, and I will answer those who are ever given to a spirit of prayer…to communion with Me. I long to hear you call upon My Name so that I may deliver you and reveal Myself to you in Truth.

“The things I want you to do…I will make possible for you to do, but the grace I provide comes only with the task and it cannot be laid up beforehand. You must depend upon Me from hour to hour. The greater you are aware of this fact, the less likely you are to faint or fail in a crisis!

“Call upon Me. Listen to Me. Wait for My direction and guidance, and you will have the grace and strength to fulfill and complete that which I desire for you to do.”

A Warm Relationship in the Father’s Love

Communication in a two-way relationship with My children is the same as it is with yours.   Suppose your children never listened to what you had to say? Suppose they never wanted to take time to be alone with you? What a deep sense of loss you would feel. The same is true with Me. For thousands of years I have longed for warm fellowship relationships with My children. Only through Jesus, My Son, have many dared approach Me, and then often with such a shyness and seeming sense of unworthiness that I am limited in what we can share.

I love My children. Know that. I long to have you with Me, near Me, but so many of My own need to see this and come to that knowledge. I look upon each of My human creations with eyes of love, for I love them as they are and accept them.  I long to have a personal relationship with each one. I long for them to get to know Me even as I know them. Attention to small details is part of a two way love relationship.

How can this happen with more people except through My children who already know Me and experience this? Have I not called you to go and make disciples and teach them to do all things whatsoever I have commanded you? See how My Son Jesus led you into a personal relationship with Me, your Heavenly Father? Lead others to Him, and He and the Holy Spirit will lead new children to a right relationship with Me. Help Me, My child. I need you to reach out for Me.  Understand, now, why I need all My children…especially in this time that the harvest is white.

Entrench yourself in My Word. Learn what I would teach you about My nature, My promises, and My Kingdom, and then, help Me by sharing the richness of such Love with others.  You have answered My call to come after Me.   Now speak to others of Me.  My sheep hear My Voice. They recognize it, and they follow Me.

Each can come into My presence where I will restore, heal, make whole, reveal, change, lift. Each can have for themselves this direct audience with Me, this direct line of communication. Each of My own inherit the right to do so. Who can tell them but those who have known the reality of it in their own lives?

As people come into My Family, the coming together of My Body of Believers is precious to Me.   I long to have you together so I can show My love to you in a group. I love to speak to all of you together. . I love to bring you all together and have you home for dinner at the same time. I long to look at each of your faces and feel the combined glow from each of your hearts burning with love for Me.  I love to hear you worship Me together and share together your love for Me. Yet to function as a Body, as a unit, you each need to have individual input and to have close communion with Me. Each needs to come to the group full of Me to join in the high praise of a combined effort.

Encourage one another. Help one another to draw near to be filled with My Spirit. Help one another walk in the Spirit. Minister to one another. Have love and compassion for one another. Share freely what you receive, for the flow is to be out and away rather than keeping it inward. Be secure in Me. Walk in My boldness. Fully awaken spiritually and be a contributing part of My Body that is truly Mine. Honestly seek Me and take your rightful place at My table where the fellowship is warm and fullness overflows.  You come by virtue of My Son and not in the name of any other. I bid you entrance. You are invited. By My authority, I make you worthy.

Arise and Open the Door!

God is getting His people ready – on many fronts – to join heart to heart with Him and one another!  We need one another in His Kingdom, for He has designed us to be ONE,  as He and the Father are ONE! He needs us pulling together and not against one another!

MASSIVE CHANGE is knocking at the door of society, our culture, and the church...especially in America; and we must be ready to stand as ONE as it comes! They will know that we are Christians by our LOVE…our common JOY, PEACE, and UNITY! We are HIS BODY and we must all pull together in these dark days! His Light from within will SHINE for the World to “see” how to go in this dark hour!

This, in itself, is a new thing~! It is a GOD thing, and He is calling His people to put aside their differences and JOIN HIM in what He is doing!!! He is moving….He is flowing….calling us together as ONE!  We must lay aside the differences that divide us,  Do our part and resolve to “go with HIS FLOW” and allow Him to take us all where He wants us to go! It is vital in this hour!  We must stand as ONE…undivided!

More and more we shall  see “young men SEE VISIONS…old men will DREAM DREAMS…sons and daughters will PROPHESY! God will “pour out His Spirit and humble His enemies, making them a footstool under His Feet!” ACTS 2

“I see that the Lord is always with me. I will NOT be shaken, for HE IS RIGHT BESIDE ME! No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts His praises! My Body rests in Hope. For you will not leave my soul (my mind, emotions, and will) among the dead (lifeless – as those who have no hope)! Nor allow the Holy one to rot in the grave. You have shown me the way of  LIFE, and YOU will fill me with the JOY of Your PRESENCE!” ACTS 2:25-28

These “old” scriptures have NEW LIFE, for they are happening once again in the lives of God’s people…of JESUS’ PEOPLE in our day!!! And it will INCREASE and INCREASE and INCREASE as HE REIGNS in and through us! Hallelujah!!!
_____________________________________________________

“Don’t be among those who refuse to hear My Word because it threatens your lifestyle. Many people cannot perceive themselves apart from their trappings – those things which wrap around their daily lives and routine. This truth is a main reason why most refuse to hear a direct word from Me and take the things I say personally…so they plod on in their ruts of insufficiency and inefficiency. The masses are falling by the wayside because people will not “hear”, and they will not obey. Many of My people continue on in familiarity, not developing spiritually and allowing Me to form them in the way of Truth, for to do so would upset their plans, their agendas, their desires. Such things are self-centered rather than God centered, and man’s agenda and those who hold to it are about to be upset.

“Massive change is knocking at the door.  “But I am continuing to call My people to breakthrough any apathetic attitudes…awaken and look unto Me, for I am the pivot point, the center of all things.  I have come at this season to affect great change.  If you allow Me, it will not take you by surprise…but if you refuse and will not allow My Word to become Truth in your life, the changes that come will overwhelm, surprise, and swallow you up; for it IS racing to this earth with great force.  Massive change is knocking at the door!

“Many have allowed themselves to become enmeshed in the “way things have been” for some time.  They have adapted to the status quo and are slumbering in their spirit, but those who will “hear” and allow my change in their life will awaken, arise, and be ready for the changes that are soon coming to the earth.  I have been faithfully telling My people it is coming for some time.  He who has an “ear” , let him “hear” what the Spirit is saying to the church; for I need My people prepared and ready to take their posts and be My Hands extended when the masses begin to cry out!  We must gather them in ,  for night has fallen.  Massive change is knocking at the door!

” Let JESUS PEOPLE ARISE and OPEN the DOOR!”
