This, You Are To Do

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  Keep pressing into Me, My loves, that I carry you in these days to come.  There is a lot that is happening all around you and all over the earth that seeks to destroy our relationships with Me and with others.  This is the only plan of the enemy of your soul in these last days, for he is powerless against you because of Me.  My loves, if you knew the lateness of the hour you would not entertain anything this world has to offer, for in an instant, things will change, and you could be left with nothing if you stray from Me.  Yes, you who belong to Me will never be separated from Me, but you can lose your stature in the earth and not be as effective as I have planned.  Yes, you who belong to Me will shine as the sun in the darkness, but if you get sidetracked, then you will need adjustment back to Me in order to lead others to Me.  Yes, I hold you tightly, but if you are burdened by the waiting, then you may move ahead of My plan and will need to be reigned back into place so that all be set right.  Yes, your love for Me overshadows any obstacle in the earth, but if you flirt with the darkness, then you may be left at the back of the line and suffer loss.  My loves, if you knew that I Am right at the door, how would you live?  This, you are to do.

 

2 Pet 2:1-22 (ESV) But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2  And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3  And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. 4  For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; 5  if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6  if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7  and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked 8  (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); 9  then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, 10  and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, 11  whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. 12  But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, 13  suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. 14  They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! 15  Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, 16  but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness. 17  These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. 18  For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. 19  They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20  For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21  For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22  What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.” 


Your Day Of Shining Has Come

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you.  I hold to you tightly and will never lessen My grip, for My love for you is perfect.  I will never let harm come to those that I love.  You have weathered the storms in your lives, and this has caused you to become strong against all attacks of the enemy of your souls.  As such, you are untouchable by the enemy, so you have no reason to fear what you see around you.  You have risen above that which was meant to harm you, and now you tread upon serpents and scorpions as the victor.  You are now ready to step into the role that I have ordained that you do from the beginning of time itself, and you will walk boldly and with resolve and many will take notice.  You are My shining lights in the darkness of the earth, and around you the darkness flees as you are in Me and I Am in you.  This is the time you have been waiting for, and you will now see immovable doors fly open and you will walk into your purpose with joy in your hearts.  Likewise, the doors of doom that have followed you your entire lives are now being sealed shut to never haunt you again, for the purpose of those challenges have made you an immovable force as you have surrendered to Me.  Rejoice, My loves, for your day of shining has come. 

 

Isaiah 60:1-22 (ESV) Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. 2  For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. 3  And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. 4  Lift up your eyes all around, and see; they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the hip. 5  Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and exult, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you. 6  A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall bring good news, the praises of the LORD. 7  All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will beautify my beautiful house. 8  Who are these that fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows? 9  For the coastlands shall hope for me, the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your children from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful. 10  Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you. 11  Your gates shall be open continually; day and night they shall not be shut, that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led in procession. 12  For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste. 13  The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the pine, to beautify the place of my sanctuary, and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 14  The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of the LORD, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 15  Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you majestic forever, a joy from age to age. 16  You shall suck the milk of nations; you shall nurse at the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 17  Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze, instead of stones, iron. I will make your overseers peace and your taskmasters righteousness. 18  Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. 19  The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. 20  Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended. 21  Your people shall all be righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I might be glorified. 22  The least one shall become a clan, and the smallest one a mighty nation; I am the LORD; in its time I will hasten it. 


Your Love Will Be Full

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  Each moment of your lives is precious to Me, for I see everything that you do.  The father/child relationship is magnified between us as compared to this relationship between an earthly father and their child.  Our relationship is eternal, while your earthly father, or you as a father (as the case may be) will change once you enter My presence in Heaven.  You will remember your relationship with your earthly fathers, be it good or bad, but our relationship will overshadow it in every way.  Once you enter into My presence you will see Me as I Am and your joy will be complete.  To you earthly fathers who know Me, and who have children who know Me, do not fret about a stressed relationship while in the earth, for it will be perfected once you are in My presence.  So be encouraged today, My loves, those who are parents of children, and those who are children of parents, for when you enter into My presence, then your love for each other will be full and living. 

 

John 16:16-24 (ESV) “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” 17  So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18  So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” 19  Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? 20  Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. 21  When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22  So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23  In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24  Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
