prophetic words

Beloved, cease and desist from your striving. There is a better and more effective way to walk out your life. You cannot add one hair to your head by striving. When you struggle to do things your own way, frustrations abound and you do things I have not called you to do.

No matter how you feel or what you do I have given you all I have…all I am and will not hold back on releasing it to you. I have also given you all you need pertaining to life and godliness…all you need for correction and reproof (2 Peter 1:3; 2 Timothy 3:16). In the midst of correction and reproof you are showered with mercy and grace for mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13). I have not judged you, and I do not condemn you.

Beloved, you are never separated from Me. In order for separation to happen, I would have to leave…to come and go depending on your actions or attitudes. I would have to be only a fair-weather friend. That would not be much to die for now would it? Where would your security be if I were only a fair-weather friend? How could I set you in a large place or be your strong tower (2 Samuel 22:20)? I am unchanging, immovable and invincible to the very end (Isaiah 41:4).

Beloved, you are the watchman…the gatekeeper of your own heart…your own personal sheepfold. It is up to you to open the gates of your life and heart in order for Me to have complete access. Yes, I dwell in you; but, I never force you into anything. Sometimes I allow things because I long to have your complete attention and affections; but, the choice is still yours at all times. It is called free will. It doesn’t take much movement on your part to draw Me into the sheepfold of your heart. Just a breath whispering My name is enough.

Beloved, I have come as light that you may not continue in darkness as to how I see and feel about you. There will not be even the smallest fraction of doubt when all is said and done. It is necessary to know in detail how I feel so you can do likewise for others… so that you will have a Word in due season for the unlovely and unloved.

I warm your heart with the sunshine in the morning to wake you up. I serenade you with a morning song each time your heart speaks a letter of love to Me. I love your smile whenever you are delighte

An undisturbed contemplation in what I want you to do is vital, even crucial and a prerequisite to what is to be accomplished for My Kingdom. I am sending special people to work hand in hand with you. They will come and stand…

Beloved, you must look to the mountains from whence your help comes from and remember that I am not like any man. No, I am not like any man no matter how the enemy would like to use your past experiences and circumstances to convince you otherwise. When the past or present actions or words of others try and obscure My true nature, obscure who I am and what I am willing to do on your behalf, you must…

Listen to My voice. Hear it say, “My grace is sufficient for you this day and every day after. My favor and loving kindness…and My mercy are sufficient to enable you to stand against any opposition…even opposition from within your own thinking”. (2 Corinthians 12:9) So many times you focus on your weakness somehow thinking it surprises or dismays Me. Actually the way I think is quite contrary to such thinking. I think only on what is pure, lovely and upright.

It is your time My beloved. Yes, it is your time. You are building up your most holy faith (Jude 1:20). Don’t give up. Faithful is He who has chosen you (Isaiah 49:7). Your muscles are growing, building, and extending themselves beyond the bounds of your greatest ability to dream.
