The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. You are precious in My sight, and I Am compelled to protect and provide for you in ways you cannot yet understand. I have a good plan, a plan that brings a multitude into My arms for eternity, and I use you, My faithful ones, to reach out to these in this time, that they know Me and be grafted into My family. Not everyone will respond favorably to you, and to Me in you, but being faithful in these things will cause you to store up treasures in Heaven. Each step that you are guided by Me, I have rewards awaiting you in My presence. Yes, you receive some of these blessings while still in the earth, but you won’t realize all these blessings until you are in the realm of Heaven, where I dwell. Where I dwell is where My Spirit dwells, and in the earth I dwell in the hearts of My children. You are My dwelling places – earthly temples – used for My purposes and My will. When you feel Me move in your heart, and you move with Me, we make waves in the Spirit realm, and this affects all around you. Just as the flutter of a butterfly can affect the wind of a great storm across the sea, I use you to shake and shine in the souls of many. And I use each of you differently to make My dwelling place in the earth a Royal Palace, even as the world around you is still in a fallen state. You are oases in a barren land, and this makes you special to Me. My plan is good, My loves.
1 Pet 3:8-22 (ESV) Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10 For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; 11 let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” 13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20 because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.
