I placed you within My garden and I have always been with you. I surround you and I have been watching your development with great anticipation as I wait for your complete emergence (Psalms 125:2). I have and am pulling away every hindering strand of your cocoon one filament at a time. I know sometimes it seems almost at a standstill. Have you ever seen slow motion photography as a flower unfolds? It is the same for you. Sometimes it seems very slow and at others it seems as if things suddenly appear. Every filament removed has a progressively larger affect. After all, I am the God of multiplication.

And when you were old enough to comprehend, the enemy accused you and fed you lies based on your negative experiences until you began to agree with him according to the negative thoughts not taken captive to the Truth ( 2 Corinthians 10:5)

Every enemy shall tremble at the sound of My name coming from your lips for you will know Me in a way unknown in all your days. They shall flee as you come into the lives of those I send you to with My Word…a Word in due season…a Word at just the right time.

Beloved, even as Eve was born out of Adam’s side…Adam’s rib, so are you born out of My pierced side. My side was opened. Water and blood flowed as if from a womb giving birth. Yes, Eve came from Adam’s side and you are born of Mine. I endured the Cross…I endured the piercing…I endured the pain that you might live…that you might live with Me.

You can have a million dollars but if you never go to the bank and get it, what good is it. I do not want you to live in poverty of spirit in any area when the fullness of who I am lives in you (Colossians 2:10).

Time has come to live by Heaven’s economy and not the economy of the world around you. Things that look successful on the surface as far as the world is concerned can be found to be unclean, impure and without any lasting depth when looked at more closely with discerning spirits. Even the natural supplies of the earth itself can run out as has been evidenced in your time, while in Heaven there is always more than enough…more than you have begun to imagine. It all depends on the perspective from which you are viewing things.

Discontentment is an open door, leading to frustration, assumption and finally supposition. When you encounter situations and attitudes outside the sphere or scope of your influence, allow a time of communion between us. Without it, you tend to follow the dictates of the flesh (Romans 8:13).

Beloved, abide is a gentle sounding word, yet it is encapsulated with the authoritative, trustworthy backbone of the Cross. It is encased in My shed blood. In light of this let Me share some facets of this all encompassing word as you behold Me in your heart.

Out of the fires of life come My directives. Out of the fire of refinement comes the word GO! He has anointed you to set the captives free (Isaiah 61:1). The anointing is in you—it is on you for this purpose. Have faith in Me. Have faith and know I will back up anything and everything I have promised you. I would never ask you to do something just to watch you try, all the while withholding MY power as you fail. How foolish this would be.

Yes, you are a king and priest, seated in heavenly places with Me. Arise and be faithful, put your hopes and dreams in Me. I will hold them, nurture them, develop them and release them at the precise moment of maturity.
