Do not hearken to the "old" prophets. For they have "allowed" a spirit of compromise into their life and ministry [through the pursuit of self-glory and the praises of men] and, thus, they lead many astray in this most critical hour - without even knowing [realizing] it. But, truly I say to you, they shall know it as I begin to make ALL things evident in this hour [1 Corinthians 3:10-15], and they will have one final opportunity to repent, and they shall either step into the fullness of their true "Kingdom-position" [having forsaken every element of the fear of man] [Galatians 1:10] or they shall be removed - without exception!

, "Now an old prophet was living in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words which he had spoken to the king, these also they related to their father. Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone. Then he said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it. So he went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" And he said, "I am." Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread." He said, "I cannot return with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place. "For a command came to me by the word of the LORD, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water there; do not return by going the way which you came.'" He said to him, "I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" But he lied to him. So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house and drank water. Now it came about, as they were sitting down at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back; and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have disobeyed the command of the LORD, and have not observed the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you, but have returned and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to you, "Eat no bread and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the grave of your fathers.'" It came about after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back. Now when he had gone, a lion met him on the way and killed him, and his body was thrown on the road, with the donkey standing beside it; the lion also was standing beside the body. And behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the road, and the lion standing beside the body; so they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived", 1 Kings 13:11-25 NASB

, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS", Matthew 7:21-23 NASB

Sword of the Spirit

Use your sword of the Spirit
to cut through the veins and bushes that block
the path that I have placed you on.
Use your sword to cut through these obstacles, deceptions and lies
strategically placed to discourage you and make you doubt.
Use your sword--You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Use your sword--No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
Use your sword.
God has not given you the spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind.
You have the mind of Christ.
Clear your path with the sword of the Spirit and continue to walk.
Clear the path for those that follow you:
your children, natural and spiritual.
They will learn how to use the sword by watching you.
Use your sword--nothing can oppose it.
You have the victory.

As one spends time in intimate fellowship with Me (GOD) each day they shall gain a continually deeper revelation of the Cross and the precious Blood. This will cause a deep, and eternal, perspective to be "maintained" within them - a deep and eternal perspective that will empower them to keep their priorities straight and, also, preclude the hardness of heart and self-exaltation that is always the spontaneous by-product of a heart that has lost sight of the reality of the Cross - and the life of the Cross [obedience unto the death of the self-life] that each and every one of My children is called to. For it is from this place of a burning [active] revelation of the Cross [and the precious Blood that was shed there] that My "resurrection life" and the "ascension life" [that is, the life that manifests the fullness of My Authority] flows forth through them in torrents.

, "He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water", John 7:38 The Amplified Translation

, "Then Peter took Him aside to speak to Him privately and began to reprove and charge Him sharply, saying, God forbid, Lord! This must never happen to You! But Jesus turned away from Peter and said to him, Get behind Me, Satan! You are in My way [an offense and a hindrance and a snare to Me]; for you are minding what partakes not of the nature and quality of God, but of men. Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself [disregard, lose sight of, and forget himself and his own interests] and take up his cross and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also]. For whoever is bent on saving his [temporal] life [his comfort and security here] shall lose it [eternal life]; and whoever loses his life [his comfort and security here] for My sake shall find it [life everlasting]. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life [his blessed life in the kingdom of God]? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his [blessed] life [in the kingdom of God]? For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory (majesty, splendor) of His Father with His angels, and then He will render account and reward every man in accordance with what he has done", Matthew 16:22-27 The Amplified Translation

, "But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death", Philippians 3:7-10 NASB

Cyclonical Vision

The vision you have received is cyclonical. It will be moving through one
space at a time.
Expect changes, but not too quick.
A dime a dozen, people will change, but don't expect a miracle in a day.
My time is the way.
Your instinct is to move fast, but I tell you to move slow
Like when you're learning a new dance step, You have to be careful to not
step on each others toes.

In time My time, dear one. You will see my faithfulness on this.

Expect change, but not too fast
Prepare of course and be ready
For when it happens it will be like a fast wind blowing, a quick change,
that could destroy some things already in place working.

Find your strength in Me, and it won't seem so detrimental to you.
Find peace, pursue it.
Thank you for stepping out in this.
You are a beautiful link my child into this plan to be fulfilled in time,
in time, My time.

Thank you's at Thanksgiving will poor out abundantly upon you.
There will be growth spurt. As flowers bloom, you will see a difference
in your move stay faithful to My call.
My hand is upon you, my gentle peaceful ways are bestowed upon you.

An anointing for this special time.
Don't fall or falter
Stand strong and upright
You know what you need to do
I am always by your side, by your side-

Stay Peace, stand strong
I am the one who will keep you at Perfect Peace
Yahweh the One, who was forsaken on that night
The One who will never leave you or forsake you.

I give you an abundance of My love always
Mount up on wings as Eagles and rest in Me
You will see in time, My time-

This is a cyclonical vision- Take it one step at a time. For it will move
as a cold front pours down from time to time.

I , My ways will pour down upon your city, bringing you a Kingdom renewal

Face downstream not upstream for my people are there waiting for a newness
in life and you will find them waiting for your hand of patience, as they
take the small step to enter into My Kingdom

To make that decision is hard work for them. They haven't been given a
full ride in life, and they don't see nor are quick to understand who I am.

Give them time, they'll come around, and when it happens you won't
understand what drew them in so quick.

Think on these things,
Your King, Jesus,
The One who leads, guides and directs you through the empowerment of My
Holy Spirit- for now and forever

Don't be too quick to decide
I will come in waves at a time
Move gently for My people will not understand, nor have a clue what is
taking place.
But in time, they'll see, that it is all meant to be.

A fire, a storm awaits us on these final days as I move across the nation.
Expect change, drastic change, in attitudes toward Me.
People who see, will no longer see they will abide their time in past
confusions stepping backward not forwards towards My Kingdom reign.

The city will be thrown open for all to see, their unclothedness will shine
forth. But they will see they are nothing without Me. A confusion, a loss
will portray itself across the Nation.

Explore your options, but stand steadfast in Me, for this is it.
My Kingdom is drawing near it is time to take a stance against things that
are seen, and to draw the dastardly ways out of My people.

The truth must be spoken. The truth has been hidden or down played.

It's time, it's time, it's now.

My people move forward in this-
It's time.

Encircle my enemy
Announce the Kingdom ways
Your calling is great and it is upon you
Do not forsake, move forward and minister

A charley horse will be your worst pain.

Speak proud and loud announce My Kingdom-
Announce it now.
>From the top of your lungs, LOUD-
Bold and brave young one, Bold and brave.

Release Me into the Nations-
Your temptation will be great to say No! but this is it.

Your Father, Your King, Your Prince of Peace says, Release-
For the redeeming time is now-
My workers are few, but My workers are faithful and it's yet to be done
Now and Move- It's time-Abide

God's cry

God's cry to his children.

I keep hearing the Lord saying have I forgotten my people? Have I left them alone? Is there anything or anyone I cannot save? Is there anyone or anything I can not forgive? No, I say to you this night that I extend to you my hand, my life. There is nothing that you have done that I cannot forgive!! Do not live in fear and in torment and stay away from me.

My grace is sufficient for you.

The price I paid on the cross was sufficient for you. Come back to the cross!! Look at all I did for you there. I did not do it so you would walk alone. But so you could be in constant fellowship with me. My blood still cries mercy over you. I have not left you. My spirit continues to draw you to me. Receive this night all that was done for you at the cross. Receive my life. Receive my healing. Receive my forgiveness. You do not have to pay the price, my blood covered it all for you, for all. Receive my children the fullness of what I have done!! Walk as my children.

In Christ

True love is "relentless" in its pursuit of My best for oneself - and for all those in their sphere of existence.


, "Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]", 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 The Amplified Translation

I Have Not Forgotten You

I am the Lord your God, and I have not forgotten you. You are always
on My mind, dear child. I have not forgotten the dreams that I have
given you, nor have I forgotten the plans that I have for you. I am
actively at work in your life, preparing things. Yes, I am preparing
you for My glory, and it will shine froth in your life.

My child, the plans I have for you are about to come forth in your
life, and you will see them come to pass. For you are My body, and I
have created you in My image and likeness. For even in your thoughts
resides the power that lifts up My Son. I am transforming your very
thoughts, to make them good, wholesome and holy before Me.

I will send forth the power that will make these things come to pass.
I have placed My power within you and My anointing upon you--so shine
forth, that all may see My Son. My Spirit resides in you, and you will
see My hand move through you. Signs and wonders will follow you, as
you think, speak and act on My words.
Christianity EtcRe: God Speaks Through His Spirit (tell Yours) by grace5(op): 9:51am On Oct 10, 2009
I Am Your Greatest Strength

Child of Mine, I am your greatest strength. You don't realize this yet,
but the more you have of Me, the greater access you have to move in all
of My gifts and anointing. You don't need to seek Me and petition Me
for specific gifts of the Spirit--just seek Me and these things will be
made available to you as you need them.

I want to reset your thinking, for you often make the wrong thing your
goal. You think to yourself, "if I can only convince God to give me
this gift or that anointing, then I will be able to do the things that
He has put on my heart." But child, it does not work that way. Your
goal should not be to acquire this spiritual gift or that anointing--it
should always be to acquire more of Me.

The truth is that you already have all of Me, but your senses are dull
and you are not able to fully perceive My presence. You are not able to
hear My voice as clearly as I would speak to you, and you are not able
to enter into the depths of intimacy with Me that I have desired for
you.

As you grow in Me and increase in these areas, it will seem to you as
though you are getting more of Me. In truth, the fullness of My Spirit
already dwells upon you and within you. The increase is not in My
presence with you; it is in your ability to perceive it and to tap into
it. As you learn to submit to Me with a heart of willing obedience, you
will get to know Me better. Your spiritual senses will become more
tuned to My presence. Your spiritual eyes will be better able to see
what I am doing and your spiritual ears will hear My voice more clearly.
It will seem to you as if you have more of Me, and I am delighted to
give Myself to you in that matter.

Dear child, I am the One Who gives good gifts to My children. I delight to
give you the things that you ask Me for--especially when your motives are
pure before Me and your heart is set after My heart. But the very best
gift that I can give you is more of Myself--bringing you to a deeper
level of intimacy with Me and yieldedness to My will. You see, when you
have Me, you have all of My gifting and all of My anointing at your
disposal.

If you seek a specific strength or a specific gift or a specific
anointing, then you are enabled only in that area. But if you seek Me
and yield more of yourself to Me, then you will find that any gift you
might need at the moment is at your disposal, for I will strengthen you
in all things. Have you not read how I was with Joseph when he was a
slave in Egypt? What was the result of My presence? The result was that
I strengthened him in all things. Whatever He put his hands to prospered
because I was with him.

I want to do the same thing for you, but that requires that you give
yourself to Me completely and unreservedly. If you want to be strong,
then be completely submitted to My will and I will strengthen you with
My strength. If you want to be mighty in spirit and deed, then give
more of yourself to Me and I will more of My might to you. If you want
to do the words that Jesus did (the healings and the miracles), then
obey Me like He did and pursue Me like He did.

My Son spent many hours in prayer building deeper intimacy with Me when
He walked on this earth. It was in those times of intimacy together
that I would show Him My will for the coming day, and empower Him to
be able to perform it with great miracles and mighty works. I will do
the same for you if you will seek Me like He did and commit to obey My
will as He did.

Child of Mine, I am your greatest treasure and your greatest strength.
Seek Me earnestly and you find Me. Draw close to Me and I will draw
close to you. Give more of yourself to Me and I will give more of
Myself to you.

All unrighteous judgement and ungodly counsel has its root and origin in a self-exaltive [control] spirit.

, How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish", Psalms 1:1-6

, "Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. I do not sit with deceitful men [worthless - lit. men of falsehood], Nor will I go with pretenders [dissemblers, hypocrites]. I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD, That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders", Psalms 26:2-7 NASB

"dissemble" - to give a false or misleading appearance to; conceal the truth or real nature of; to conceal one's true motives;

I was reflecting on faith a couple of
days ago, and I realized that everything
we are asked to do by God as Christians,
we are asked to do by faith.

We come to Christ by faith.
We receive the Holy Spirit by faith.
We receive our new life by faith.
We conquer sin by faith.
We walk in the newness of life we have
received by faith.
We receive God’s promises to us by
faith.
We forgive the unforgivable by faith.
We love unconditionally by faith.
We give by faith.
We are healed by faith.
We are delivered by faith.
We carry out our Lord’s commandment
and His great commission to us by faith.

I thought, “It’s all by faith, through
and through. We are not meant to just
begin with faith and then every now
and then do things by faith. Our entire
Christian lifestyle is meant to be lived
by faith.”


Galatians 2:20
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The
life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

+ Many forsake the life of the Cross in order to gain the approval [acceptance] and praises of men [flesh and blood]. For if one will simply "compromise" the life of the Cross it is certain that they will gain a wide acceptance throughout the church at large but if one holds fast to the narrow path of perfect obedience [the life of the Cross] at all cost to themselves then it is certain that they will be reviled by many and suffer great reproach for righteousness' sake. But truly I say to you, the Spirit of Glory shall work mightily within them and rest heavily upon them in this hour as they continue to go forth in a perfect love and obedience and great is their reward - both in their remaining time in this dispensation, and in the ages to come.

But the man who loves God is known by God.

PLEASE READ OF PEOPLE IN HELL:

Lee, Haak-Sung:

With a firm determination, I started praying in tongues, when suddenly the cross hanging behind the podium radiated with bright light, and a round door appeared. A little later, Jesus appeared. "Haak-Sung. I love you." I could not contain the happiness that overwhelmed me. "Haak-Sung, there is some place you have to go with Me, so let's go." As soon as Jesus took my hand, my body floated in the air as light as a feather. When we arrived at our destination, there was a strange stench, and it was very dirty. I could hardly breathe due to the offensive smell all around me. "Jesus, my beloved Jesus. Where are we? I can't see too well in front of me," I shouted, but Jesus said, "Haak-Sung, don't be frightened. This is hell. I will protect you, so do not worry. But look closely."

The fire heated the gates of hell bright red, and even before entering it was unbearably hot. I had to turn away from the scorching fire and the intense heat. I asked, "Jesus, how can we step into this pit of fire? I don't think I can do this." We went to a place that was pitch dark, and I could not see a thing. Then, as soon as Jesus touched my eyes, I could see very clearly. There was an old lady with a look of despair sitting motionless and wearing a white traditional Korean dress. Jesus instructed, "Haak-Sung, look closer," so I walked closer to the old lady. It was my maternal grandmother, who had passed away a few years earlier. When my mother left home, my maternal grandmother raised me. My grandmother loved us. I was not right that my grandmother was in hell. With astonishment I shouted out to her, "Grandma, it's me, Haak-Sung. How can a gentle and kind person end up here? Hurry, come out of there." My grandmother quickly recognized me, and surprised, she asked, "Haak-Sung, why are you here? How did you come here?" I replied, "Jesus brought me here. Grandma, hurry and come out of there." My grandmother cried and shouted, "Haak-Sung, as much as I want to get out, you can't do what you want here. You must not end up here. Leave immediately." In tears I pleaded with Jesus, "Jesus, please help my grandmother come out. My grandmother lived a sad life." In an instant, a large snake appeared below my grandmother's leg and started coiling and winding up her body. I screamed loudly, "Ahh." My grandmother fearfully shouted, "Save me, please," but there was no use. "Jesus, my beloved Jesus, I am the one who's done so much evil," I cried. "Please do something, please." Jesus did not say a word, but His heart was breaking as He watched. I cried and cried as I begged, but there was no use. Even in the midst of the craziness, she asked about the welfare of the family and worried about them. "Haak-Sung, how are your sisters? What about your mother?" I replied, "Everyone is doing well," and as I was answering her, the snake wrapped around her tighter. My grandmother's agonizing screams grew louder and louder. Jesus took my hand and guided me, saying, "Haak-Sung, it's time to go now." I left the cries of my grandmother behind me and came out of hell. Jesus said, "In hell, compared to the physical world, all your senses are more certainly and clearly alive, Haa-Sung, don't cry. You saw it clearly, so go and serve the Lord faithfully. Do you understand?"

Later on Jesus called to me, "Haak-Sung. Hell was gruesome, right? I want to show you Heaven today." In a short time, we were in Heaven. Groups of angels and many people who arrived in Heaven before me came out to welcome me. The surrounding angels and Jesus joined hands to joyfully dance together. Everything about Heaven was a complete contrast to the scenes of hell. In Heaven, what I saw looked novel, amazing, and unbelievable. While in Heaven I made a request to Jesus. "Jesus, pastor's son, Joseph--his foot is covered with painful warts and he can hardly walk. Please heal him. And my mom is suffering with back pain. Help her not to be in pain. Help brother Oh, Jong-Suk, who is living in the church office, to quickly find a job. And lastly, help us to have a revival at our church." Jesus happily replied, "Yes, all right." Jesus looked at me and said, "Haak-Sung, that's enough for today. Let's go." When Jesus held my hand, we flew though the sky, arriving back at church.

I resumed praying diligently. I could not stop thinking about my maternal grandmother who is suffering in hell, and I burst into tears. I was in so much distress and pain, I cried out kicking and screaming, "Lord, what am I going to do? My grandmother died because of me. This pains my heart so bad. Grandmother. My poor grandmother." I cried until exhaustion. Then I started again. I called out to the Lord. I rarely cry, but I could not believe the tears that flowed for 2 hours, 3 hours, and then 4 hours. The first prayer session finished, but still I could not contain my sorrow. I shared my testimony of visiting Heaven and hell with others. Then at 5 am in the morning we started our second prayer service, which ended 5 hours later. While pastor was giving his sermon, Jesus appeared, and then pastor's sermon became more powerful. Angels came down from Heaven, lining up beside the podium, and some carried a bowl with a support. They captured every one of our prayers. And they sang, "Amen. Amen."

Even after all the services ended, I could not stop agonizing over my grandmother, who was in hell.

TO THOSE IN CAPTIVITY

"Dear child of God, I am your Deliverer. I weep for you. I draw near and wrap my arms around you. As you sleep my angels are watching over you and also over your loved ones. Fear not for them. I will provide. I will protect. Your suffering will not endure forever. I am coming soon. In your unclothedness, I cover you. You are my partner in glory. You are the magnificent passion and holy obsession of my heart. Your silent pleas are heard and answered in the throne room of Grace. I am your friend, your Father and in fellowship, your brother. My heart aches for you. Heaven longs for you. I will visit with you and give you dreams and revelation to sustain you. When you hunger, I am the Bread of heaven. When you thirst, I am your Life giving water. When you are beaten and persecuted for my Namesake I am the Blood that heals you. When you despair, I am your garment of Praise. When you fear, I am your Shield of faith. When you are weary, I am the Good Shepherd who carries you and cherishes you. When you have no love left to give, I am Love, and release waterfalls of Grace upon your weary soul to love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you. When it seems as though there is only darkness, I am the Light of the world, your light and your Source. When you are broken hearted, I am near to heal and remain your steadfast Hope of glory. When you feel alone, know that I Am always with you, for you are my beloved and I am yours and my banner over you is love. Where you see only death, I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believers in me shall not perish, but will have eternal life.
your Jesus

The Power Of A Seed

Today, let us remind ourselves once more that God has given us all the seeds we need to start sowing, seeds that will one day grow into mighty trees. Trees that will one day benefit not just the sower but many others as well.

What are we facing today?

Is it financial distress? Then let us sow seeds of "giving." Let us give of our time, talent and, yes, finances.

Is it emotional coldness or apathy by those around us? Then let us sow seeds of "love". A kind word, a smile, a gentle touch, these little acts will help melt the coldness around us.

Is it fear and despair? Then let's begin sowing seeds of "praise & thanksgiving." Let's start to look for the positive in people instead of the negative. Let us begin to thank our children, our friends, our leaders for what they have already done instead of complaining about what they have failed to do.

Is it doubt and uncertainty? Then try sowing the seeds of "speaking forth God's promises." The Bible is full of them. Let us begin claiming them one by one.

Is it greed and dishonesty in society? Then try sowing seeds of "integrity and generosity". Let us practice speaking the truth always even when it hurts. In our work, let us become good stewards of all things entrusted to us, whether small or big. Let us not be afraid to go the second mile.

I am confident that whatever the need is in our midst today, God will abundantly provide us with the right seed to sow.

We Can Be Assured

What we will be led to do today may seem immaterial, if compared to the circumstances and challenges we are facing whether as a person, a family or a nation. But as we start sowing where the Lord leads us, we can be assured that one day, whether in our lifetime or our children's lifetime, these small sowing actions will reap many beneficial changes.


"To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven. A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted. He has made everything beautiful in its time."
(Ecclesiastes 3:1,2b,11a)

"And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint. So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith [those who belong to God's family with you, the believers.]"
(Galatians 6:9-10)

2 Chron. 20:15
", Thus says the Lord to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of
this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.'"

You will need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and
see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you. Do not fear or be dismayed;
tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you. What the enemy
meant to destroy you, shall not be. Know My Word get it down from your head
into your spirit. My Son Jesus used the Word to defeat Satan. My child, you
must also use My Word to be victorious. The battle is Mine; I have won the
victory. Do not let the enemy tell you that you are a looser, for you are
a winner. I have already defeated this enemy. Be set free in My Son' name.

An exhortation from the Father's heart to yours: Wasted Years

Many in My church have wasted years that they lived ashamed to recall. The years that were wasted on wanton living are gone, and while it is true that they can never be lived over again, I know how to take the broken pieces of your life and fit them back together making something much more beautiful than it was originally.

When I take the broken pieces of your life and put them together, says the Lord, you will know it is Me because you have tried for years to fix yourself without success. Many ask Me, "Why would You even want my life, God? I have made such a mess of it." This is true. When I Am not made Lord (Master) of one's life, most make mistakes that cause irreparable damage. However, I Am a God who can create worlds with a word. I can take the mess, as it is submitted to Me, and make something not only beautiful, but of great value. I can cause a vessel that was once broken beyond repair and make it into a vessel of honor fit for the Master's use. I can take an "unviable mass" and create life beyond your ability to express its beauty.

So do not go around the desert mountain again and again living in regret for the mistakes of your wasted years. Come to Me, Beloved for behold I make all things new! If you release the wasted years to Me, you will see how I will glean a harvest from them. Nothing is wasted in My kingdom.

Lovingly Your,
Restorer

Scripture References:

Psalm 40:1-5; I waited patiently for the LORD;And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,Out of the miry clay .And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the LORD.
Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,They are more than can be numbered.

Nahum 2:2; For the LORD will restore the excellence of Jacob Like the excellence of Israel,
For the emptiers have emptied them out And ruined their vine branches.

First Peter 5:10; But may[d] the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you

Second Timothy 2:20, 21

Give!

Give! Give! Give! Give yourself to Me. It is more blessed to give than to
receive. Give yourself, draw near to Me. Come into My presence. For as you
sow, you will reap. As you draw near, I will draw near. As you boldly and
totally give yourself and abandon yourself to Me because you trust Me, you
will reap abundant reward. I AM your exceedingly great reward, and as you
draw near you will be being filled with all the fullness of what you need.
You will finally understand what it means when I said: "Not by might nor
power, but by My Spirit." You then will live and move and in Me have your
being. You will have living waters flow from your innermost being as My
river liberally flows through you and waters every seed so that your harvest
is plentiful.

Again I say: Come! Draw near! Give yourself wholeheartedly to Me. Surrender!
Rest in Me. I love you and My purposes for you are eternal. Now, come! And
give!

These are the days wherein those who truly love Me will walk by revelation alone. For, indeed, the day has come when I will judge all those who follow after "flesh and blood" instead of My Spirit - as well as all those who have "allowed" it [self-adulation] - through their ardent pursuit of "honour'' and self-glory. For to follow after "flesh and blood" before Me is born of a spirit of idolatry - a spirit that must be removed "entirely" from the midst of the congregations if they are to enter into both their individual and corporate destiny, in Christ, in this most glorious hour.

"adulation" - to show excessive admiration or devotion to; flatter or admire servilely;

, "It was because of a revelation that I [Paul] went up", Galatians 2:2a NASB

, "[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come. And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church], [Ps. 8:6.] Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself]", Ephesians 1:17-23 The Amplified Translation
