Even though your heart hurts and the pains of this world are very real, trust I am revealing myself to you, to those who will seek me. Even though the troubles are real, so is my love for you, so is my comfort for you, and so is my heart of affection for you. Even though it seems the mountains in your life are so big, and so many, like they will never end, know also my love for you knows no end and is bigger than any mountain you have ever seen, or ever will see.

Even though you find yourself in the midst of storms in your life, there is solace and a refuge for you. The events that transpire throughout the world will not always produce the results you desire. You will not always get your way. In fact, there are days where you will experience real loss, real hardship, and real delays for important things, but remember, even in the middle of all the chaos and storms you will experience throughout your life, there is refuge for you.

In days of difficulties, trials, and obstacles reach out to me. Though there is adversity pressing against you, my hands are outstretched towards you. I am here to help you. You are not alone. You do not have to go through all these things by yourself. For some of you, the desire to be independent is the very thing I am driving out of you. You want to do things on your own, you want to make your own rules, and you want to deviate from the prescribed plan and path. I see this within you and I am bringing about circumstances to expose this issue of your heart. (1) Continue Reading…

At times your path seems delayed. It seems there are many twists and turns. It seems you are lost, without guidance or direction. At times it seems you have no hope or plan. In these moments reach out to me, and you will see me reach back to you. I will be there to comfort, guide, and encourage you. Even though the delays are real, and they seem so long, in the big scheme of eternity, they are not. This life is but a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow, and the sufferings, though painful, are only temporary. While this is a bitter truth to understand, knowing this will liberate you to see things from a long term perspective, with greater appreciation and anticipation of what is still yet to come.

Even though you desire to move through lessons quickly, it is my plan for you to go through lessons thoroughly. Even though you desire to live in a place of stability, your concept of stability is very different than my concept of stability. Your concept of stability has more to do with your own comfort, than real and lasting stability. So understand, all the things happening in your life and circumstances are working to bring you to the place you truly desire, the place of destiny, the place of fulfillment, the place of real and lasting stability.

I am calling you to the place of your first love. I am calling you to the place of simplicity, the place void of distractions, the place void of competition for your attention. In this place, your original infatuation, curiosity, and innocence will draw you into the depths of all I have in store for you. Frequently you gorge yourself with inferior pleasures. You feed your appetites with counterfeits and cheap substitutes, in a vain attempt to experience satisfaction apart from me, my will, and my ways. I urge, and encourage you to return to the place from where you began, from the place of innocence and simplicity, from the place of wonder and desperation. I am calling you to return to the space of your first love. (1) Continue Reading…

There is no way for you to fully comprehend all I have in my heart for you, for my love for you is immeasurable. Even though you know my love, you do not know it fully. You do not know my love in its full expression, in the depth, width, length, and height. It is my desire, my burning passion within me, to reveal my heart to you in every intimate and personal manner and occasion. There is no limit to the number of things I will bestow upon you, my Dearly Beloved, for there are gifts upon gifts I have in store for you. (1) Continue Reading…

Even in the times of your defeat, know I am still with you. In the times of delay and setbacks, know I am with you still. There is nothing that will separate you from my love, and there is no obstacle so big to break my hold on your life. Even though it seems I am distant and perhaps even uninvolved, know I am there by your side every minute of the day, even when you sleep. My heart for you is near you always. Just as I see your heart aching in your times of struggle, so also my heart aches along with yours. Even though I seem distant, I am not, for even the very littlest detail of your life does not go unnoticed, even the number of the hairs on your head. (1) Continue Reading…

I am putting a new song within your heart, and I am putting a new song within your mind and spirit. Even though the struggles in your life are very real, my presence is also very real. While you set yourself aside from the things of this world to draw yourself close to me, surely I will sustain you and encourage you, but also cause my joy to overwhelm you in my unbridled bliss. (1) Continue Reading…

In times of struggle, as it seems you are totally failing day after day, take care to make a choice to remember you are loved. For in these days you will be prone to think less of yourself, and your enemy will plant lies and seeds of lies to drag you down. In days of struggle, know they are your preparation, and that part of your preparation is your identity in me, not in your own accomplishments. Know who you are within me, within my son, within my spirit. (1) Continue Reading…

After you have done all you can do to stand, continue to stand. Do not give up. Do not quit, for in some ways this is the critical factor in your test. It is the test of endurance, the test to remain faithful, the test to continue time and time again. So while there will be new things set before you, and things from old still yet to be accomplished, there will also be obstacles which will be overcome by your consistency and faithfulness. Some mountains will be overcome not by your speed, but by your determination. (1) Continue Reading…

This day is surely a time of expanse, acceleration, and increase. In this day of expanse there is also such a grace upon you to acquire new skills, learn new things, and to form new friendships and relationships. Even though it is a time of expanse do not think it is a time without difficulty. Though you are to expand, take new ground, and to overcome the limits of your past, do not presume these things will come about easily, nor quickly. (1) Continue Reading…

Within you is my seed of strength, vision, greatness, and excellence. Even though you may not see it and you may not feel it, it is there, for I have planted it deep within you, and I am working to uncover it in these days. You were created with purpose. You were created for greatness. You were created to accomplish all the things I have set before you, and unleash all the things I have planted within you. (1) Continue Reading…

I will give you not only vision, but also strength to continue. I am recharging your batteries and burning the fire hotter than yesterday.

(1) Continue Reading…

Just as there are new mercies for you day after day, so also is there new hope for you as well. When you find yourself at your limits, draw from me and I will sustain you.

My love for you is great, and my patience for you is also great. Even though I have waited and waited for such a very long time, still I am patient, waiting even more. I desire you to come to me, to seek me, and to love me. I will wait as you need time to find the end of yourself, for in doing so you will come to the end of your presumptions and deceptions and begin to encounter the reality set before you. I will wait as you seek the fruition of your own plans and come to realize the foolishness, frivolity, and futility of them all. (1) Continue Reading…

In these days I am changing appetites and attitudes. I am even changing plans formed within your hearts and minds. There are desires before your eyes presently that will be replaced with good, righteous, and wholesome desires. There are plans presently within your heart that will be replaced with good, righteous, and wholesome plans. There is a refiner’s fire coming that will melt away the dross, to those willing to endure the fire until the end. (1) Continue Reading…

I am going to take back my church, and renew the vision and experience of her first love. I am going to take back my people, and rekindle the original spark of joy and enthusiasm. I am going to take away their inclination for debauchery. I am going to remove all the impurity and wickedness from among my people. I will fashion you into the pure warrior bride you have always been called to be. I will polish and refine you; I will strengthen and prepare you; I will enable, encourage, and empower you.

In these days I am stirring hearts like never before. Many are hearing my call, and many of you are responding to my spirit, knowing I am calling you. Today is a time to make yourself ready with great determination, with great zeal, with great passion, and with increased focus, for the hearts of men are desperately wicked, and the day in which you live is also desperately wicked. As the seasons continue to advance and mature, the wickedness in the hour will also continue to advance, so do not take these things lightly, but be strong and vigilant regarding the call of my spirit upon your life.

This day I am stirring up old wells, ancient wells from days before. Some of these wells have been deliberately hidden, others have been covered by the elements due to neglect. Some wells have been abandoned and forgotten, and still others are just below the surface, completely undiscovered even though they are ancient. This day I am beckoning to the adventurers to launch out into the unexplored territory and seek me out with all their hearts. I am compelling men to leave the realms they already know, and continue to seek me in the realms they do not. In these realms I will define myself to them clearly, and I will reveal my heart, essence, and nature as I impart my spirit within them. (1) Continue Reading…
