My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body. Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.
Life begins at conception (salvation), growth occurs during life changes (faith walk), character is established through hard times (My character developed), and My mandate for your life established at the point of maturity.

Basking in My Presence= "Life" in Me
To have a pure life before Me, you must daily come in My presence. When you do this, My goodness, hope, love, and all that is needed in your life, fills you up to give you confidence to keep walking with Me. Having the kind of life which I so desire for all My children, takes a discipline and determination to "bask in My presence" in order to be correctly on the right path of life.
Many distractions, many pulls of the world continually press My children from all sides, therefore it is crucial to escape into My presence often and definitely daily. With My help, comfort, words of wisdom to you, you can carry on through all difficulties.
A true life of living is all worth while when following My commands for your life. It is with difficulty and much discipline that you must come into the most Holy Place in order to receive your "filling up" to sustain you for the day's events. If you learn to make it a way of life to bask in My presence you will not only live a pleasing life unto Me but be prepared and protected for all future events.

"Life" Words
To have a great, rich, fulfilling, wonderful, and awesome life in Me, is to not only surrender yourself to Me, but to also embrace all of My "words" to you. Every child of My Mine who moves closer in relationship with Me, will receive My words of wisdom and instructions for their life. These words are to be obeyed and followed through, for they are "life" words of protection from your enemy. Each son and daughter of Mine has different callings on their life, and therefore I speak differently to each one, the instructions I know which will keep you through life and insure growth and purity.
Not only is protection given to My obedient children in obeying My words, but an awesome peace and clarity of life's happenings.To be clear and alert in mind with no confusion from the enemy happens when in the center of My will, obeying My voice, and expressing your love for Me through your obedient actions. To love Me is to obey Me, and these actions definitely prove your commitment of service to Me and My cause.
Health also happens during your days of obedience to all of My words to you. There is much power and anointing within My "life" giving words and that is why I try to repeatedly emphasize to you the importance of totally obedience to Me. If one area is left uncovered and exposed by disobedience (which is rebellion against Me), then My "life" can't soar through you, and you are open for attacks from the devil
Stay close to Me, stay within the command of My words to you, and you will experience a full rewarding life. Life is to be experienced and you should not be just existing but rather living!

A Life of Purpose
"True life" living is a life of purpose flowing in My power and walking according to My instructions.
To be alive in Me having the life of Jesus soaring through your veins, is the ultimate peak of living. All of My children can and will reach this rich way of living, if and only if surrender to Me is a "way of life". Without surrender there is no way possible you can reach your full potential in Me. Your self has to die in order for Me to live in and through you.
Once full surrender occurs, a new freedom is experienced which enhances our relationship, and My voice is clearly heard. Instruction from Me begins to flow easily as you are laid bare to receive all My words to you.
A life of purpose is experienced when commitment, devotion, and surrender are hand in hand in your life --> committed to Me, devoted to My cause, and fully surrendered to My way for your life.
Enjoy life by allowing Jesus life to gain control, and you will reap the benefits of surrender.

Peace at all Times
To have peace at all times is to have a clear conscience before Me and man. Abiding in My truths and living an acceptable life before Me, ensures tranquility at all times. Peace comes with surrender to Me through rough spots in life, and it also comes when you are fulfilling your obligations to all people. Peace flows down from heaven upon a soul who trusts in Me, relies on Me, and fulfills their instructions from Me.
If you choose Me you choose peace at all times. If you choose to do things your way, then confusion, turmoil, and much heartache will occur.
A life of true living is a life of peace bringing:
- hope -
- success -
- calmness through difficult moments -
- encouragement -
- joy -
- restoration -
- promotion -

Obedience in Me = Life
All of My children can have a great life in Me as you proceed on the path of holiness and righteousness. Choosing right from wrong in all your daily activities increases your wisdom and ensures a mighty protection around you. Life worth living is living in My presence, living in My protective custody, and living obeying all of My commands and instructions for your life.
I am not a harsh Father therefore I will never ask you to do anything without giving you the insights, open door, and protection as you carry out all I have revealed. It is truly in the obedience of My plans for your life that you will find a hope, peace, and joy and experience life at its fullest. Many of My children have failed to obey My ways and therefore have only existed on earth and never reached their full potential in Me.
I desire for all of My children to experience the awesome daily presence of My Spirit which comes with obedience and a dying to your own desires. If you continue on the path of selfishness, then you won't experience or live a full life. Your life will only be a memory to your loved ones when you pass on from the earth, but it won't have "lasting power". The lasting power I speak of is My power flowing through an individual bringing forth good deeds which ends in great results. These results are added to your account and recorded in heaven for the time of judgement that all man will experience. If you want to be remembered in a great way, then be about doing My business on earth and forsake your unholy acts!

Total Surrender
It is very serious to state that you are My disciple if you haven't learned the valuable lesson of self sacrifice and self denial. To be My disciple you must deny yourself of every pleasure that this world would offer you. As you yield, I will fill. As you give up, you receive. Mighty principles of My kingdom take place when you submit to My Spirit's instructions for your life of dying to yourself. Following Me does cost everything but the rewards are unfathomable. Great blessings are yours now and in the life to come when you lay your life down for Me to completely fill and use you. The cost is nothing compared to the glory you'll experience!
Surrendering to Me is surrendering your dreams, your ambitions, your desires, and everything you ever wanted in this world. When you fully surrender to Me, this enables Me to take you as a vessel and prune and shape you into My image and the image that I can wholly use for service. If any part of "you" is remaining than I have to break apart that section of your heart, in order for you to be pleasing to Me in every way. Uprooting you may be a painful process but a very necessary one to fully do My surgery work! Keep yourself always tender and pliable and than I can perform the "heart surgery" that every one of My true servants must allow to be done on them.

Moments of Worship
True meaningful "life" begins while ministering according to your calling and the purpose of your life. Until the time you move in the fullness of your destiny, refresh yourself in many moments of worship. These moments will fill and sustain you in the midst of many storms. Your enemy always punches the hardest before a breakthrough in the spiritual realm which then flows down to the natural world.
Moments of worship will keep you on track in your hour of need, and during those times I will reveal to you more necessary information.
The agonies and sorrows of life you presently feel and experience will soon be over as you approach the new season of full-time ministry. All trials and troubles have been for a purpose, and it is My Fatherly way of preparing you for "better things to come".
Now My child, cheer up, look up, and keep running the good race with your shield of faith raised high.

The "Way of Life"
Proverbs 6:23 says: For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light; and reproofs for discipline are the way of life.
My commands and instructions for My children's life are so crucial to follow, for it brings life and great protection. Your "way of life" should be by following all of My discipline and holy instructions to your life.
My Fatherly discipline instructions are never to harm My children but always for a greater purpose. The true way of life for fulfilment is to adhere to all off My instructions in My written Word and My words spoken to your life.
The challenge to follow Me fully and wholly is great, but remember you are never without a Helper. Also, please My children, I love you so greatly that as a Father I so desire for you to be protected by keeping My words covering you. Your enemy will continue to attack you but if you are following My divine instructions for your life, you will not feel his blows. Only if you are complacent to My life instructions, will the devil's attacks affect you in a negative way.
Follow My ways, live My ways, and My presence will shine so much through you that others will truly live!

Words of Power = "True Life"
When I give My children a goal, a vision, or a message of hope for the future, then their words of power will bring their "true life" into being.
All of My servants have been created for a purpose and so your enemy will continually to try to stop you from experiencing your "true life." Speak forth My powerful words found in My written word and you won't only send your enemy fleeing away, but in the course of your confession you will strengthen your spirit man. Words of power spoken in faith and a knowing in your heart I am a covenant keeping God will bring your faith talk into actuality. You will witness with your natural eyes those "things" you have confessed and seen with your spiritual eyes.
I am so thrilled and so impressed with My children who have learned to walk and talk the faith life I so desire for all My children to experience. It brings so much power to your life and a great protection, if you choose to continue on the path of "faith confessing". The devil can't stand to be around you as all he hears and sees is the WORD (Me), because the "word" spoken in faith is power!

Remember "My" Goodness
When the storms of life are rough, when things aren't progressing as according to your "vision", hold onto Me and remember My goodness. Remember all of those times I saved you from troubles, healed your mind, rescued you from the enemy, and remember all of My goodness to you and your family. Hold onto your vision from Me and NEVER let it go! It will keep you and protect you during those times of attack from the devil. Proclaim from your mouth the messages and vision I gave you, and he will flee.
Wear the helmet of "hope" continually knowing that hope in Me and faith are two mighty ingredients for success in a life with Me.
Remember all of those troubled times in your past when you couldn't see a way out, and then I walked you through to the other side of your problems. Please remember that dark times always come before the sunshine breaks through. Hold onto Me and My powerful Word and you will arrive at exactly the place I have planned for you. Don't look at time, as I only look at the movement of natural things shifting to accommodate My plans for you. Time is an element that must not hold you back or keep you from wondering when My plans for you will progress. Shifting of natural things always occur and My servants must be flexible as it is a key ingredient for continual faith in Me.

Blessings from My Throne Room
Blessings come from My throne room to those who are obediently following all of My ways. These blessings are there to enrich your life and to bring "life" to your steps. From My throne room are many blessings waiting to be poured down upon My servants of TRUTH. These blessings come at the opportune time of need, want, desire, and to fulfill My will in your life.
Follow carefully My ways and plans for your covenant life, and you will find yourself blessed and fulfilled in relationship to Me. Life on earth is never intended to be dull, mundane, or non-existent, but to have "abundant life" in every part of your present life.
Blessings from My throne room include your heart's desire and I love to pour down wonderful gifts to My children. For I am your Father, and therefore it greatly warms My heart to please you by sending packages of blessings wrapped up in My love, as rewards for your devotion and obedience to Me. Know from Me that I don't only reward My children for taking the harder path in life, but I also keep My children encouraged along their walk.
Gifts from Me are not to be seen as "payment" but only as a gift from your heavenly Father. On earth, fathers sometimes bribe children by gifts to act in a certain way. This way is not My way, but by My Holy Spirit I encourage all of My children to walk in holiness and in righteousness.

As the Eagle Soars
As the eagle soars above the troubled waters of life, carefree and problem free, he gains strength in height. You too must distant yourself from all that could hold you back from climbing higher with Me. Gain strength in soaring high above your "situations", and find your resting place solely in Me and My awesome love for you.
The eagle stops to rest only when his soaring is completed, when he finds his perfect spot for landing, a refuge on the cliffs.
Soar with Me and in Me, until the divine time I tell you to stop and rest in the particular high spot I choose for you. This place will be precious and the spot I have brought you to.
Eagles see great distances as they soar and their vision enhances their night flying. Clearly keep your vision for "things to come" out in front, knowing that vision produces results. Soar as the eagle soars, gaining new height in Me and the preparational results necessary for full time ministry.

Let your clothes be white all the time, and let not oil be lacking on your head.
Be Holy and Saturated!
To have a life in Me, a life full of purpose and abundant living, requires for all of My servants to keep clean and constantly in My presence. Keep yourselves confessed up, always keeping your garments white, which provides the channel of My wisdom to flow down to you unobstructed by sin. Spend time daily in My presence, yielded to Me in every detail of your life, and My oil of anointing will drip off you to all you meet.
Keeping clean and constantly in My presence requires discipline of body, soul, and spirit, but always remember all available help is constantly within Me. My Son Jesus died, that you might live! This living I speak of is an overflowing life of My goodness, hope, love, and joy which is available to all My committed servants.
Too many of My children have never learned to walk cleanly and anointed before Me, and this is why the devil has had much success on earth. If My people, who are My true children, come to Me daily in confession and repentance, basking in My presence, this planet would be overrun with Truth and Love!

Degrees of Surrender
"Life" in Me comes in degrees of surrender. As My children move closer and closer to the disciplines and commands for their lives, a greater degree of My presence is felt. All of My personal instructions for your life are to benefit you in your body, soul, spirit, and mind. My commands are never too harsh for you but just the amount of sternness to make you into something beautiful to serve My people. Life in Me truly begins with surrendering to "My cause", and therefore you will move to a fulfilled height as you obey Me.
If you choose and desire to have more of Me in your life and therefore have the "true life of a servant", then you need to surrender over and over again. There will never be a stop to surrendering, but it will be continual if you want your life with Me to move forward. Jesus surrendered totally and completely to all of My instructions, and so My children need to reflect their teacher and follow His example of obedience.

Breakthrough Must Come
My children, I have so much LIFE I want you to experience during your days on earth. Problems you face, trials in your circumstances, and sorrows in your heart, seem to keep you away from experiencing My true life and all that it entails. You MUST not allow anything to disturb you and therefore rob you of the pleasures and the serenity you can always have in truly abiding in Me. My promises to you, My holy words of covenant written for your benefit, needs to be fully embraced and then you will carry on with no concerns and no regard for yourself and your needs. Cling to My promises and live through My "Word" (Jesus) in order to experience life at its fullest and richest way possible. Life for you will always be exciting and prosperous in all areas, if only you choose to cast off everything that continually tries to hold you down and hold you back from real living.
Breakthrough the tough times you experience by praising Me through the storms and by keeping an attitude of unselfishness and always dwelling on My goodness to you. Don't allow circumstances to "have you" but "have" the seasons of difficulty, by lifting them up to Me for My intervention. I will perform what is necessary and what concerns you, and I know exactly when it is time to quiet the storms. Release your faith in Me through prayer and a mighty breakthrough will come!

Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11
There is so much joy and pleasure in My presence and this is the very reason I encourage My children to come, stay, rest, and enjoy My company. In My great presence is a joy you will experience that lasts through your sorrowful times and times of discouragement. This joy, My kind of joy, is not happiness but a deep full joy coming from your very innermost parts, which will pull you through your difficult seasons.
If you want fullness of life, bask in My presence daily and stay nestled up in the crook of My strong loving arms, knowing that "all is well" because I care for you. Keep coming to Me each and every time you need added encouragement and never stay away from My protection.
In My right hand there are pleasures you will discover as you progress in Me, and these pleasures are My great gifts to you for your devotion, trust, faith, and commitment to Me.
So, My child, to know the path of life with all of its benefits, is to come away from the distractions of the world, and hide you away with Me. It is only when you are hid with Me will you be able to endure this present earth and the heartaches to come.

I AM your Lifeline
My children, My precious gifts of redemption, stay close to Me through your sorrows and trials. Do not flee to your "comfort zones" which can NEVER soothe your pain, but always come to Me for I am your soothsayer. I know exactly what words and what encouraging pictures to reveal to you, and therefore your only comfort is in My zone and not your habit zones.
Release ALL of your burdens to Me knowing that I will cast them away never to be picked up again, and never will they bother you if you genuinely release all to Me.
Know from this day, My children, that the battles in life are always the hardest before an explosion of My anointing and true purpose ready to come upon you. The devil has hit hard, you have wavered, but still you have kept anchored in your Source. That greatly pleases Me for then I know you are strong enough to weather future storms holding onto Me your lifeline.

Living Waters!
When you are walking in the wilderness, going through a desert season of your life, you must come and drink of the living waters in order not to perish. The fresh springs of living waters are always supplied in your drought times; they are for you to be nourished during the dry times. Drink from the well of living waters I make available, and do not neglect to keep yourself alive by always allowing Me to fill you up.
Jesus is THE source of living waters, and He is the reason you can be alright through many dark days, when you learn to drink from His supply. To neglect His rich never ending supply of refreshment is to allow yourself to dry up, and therefore move yourself away from My plans for your future. Drink and live!

"Light" and "Life" in My Presence
In My presence you will find much light and life to help you along your path on earth. Revelational insights come when you decide to linger in My rich tangible presence, and "life" flows through your veins to enrich your walk with Me. The devil hits hard over and over to keep all of My disciples away from My presence, for he knows the work of My Spirit which is done during these times of stillness in Me. Please recognize, My children, the cunningness of your enemy by keeping you busy during your days to stop you from having My peace in your life. This peace is found only in Me and will come to you as you dedicate some of your time to Me. As the days on earth get darker and more evil crops up in every situation, you MUST come to Me, for it is your only hope, light, and life!
To continue on a path of righteousness, purity, and anointing of Me, My children all must learn to shake all the cares of life off of them. Don't allow disappointments, troubles at home, or ANYTHING to stop you from moving you forward in your mission on earth. Even if you are presently at a standstill in the insights I have given you for your future, you MUST wait in hope, and wait in My enduring presence. Remember I am God and your Father, therefore I really do know the best time, the fullness of time, to bring forth all your desires, and the mighty things I have promised you. Wait, strengthen yourself in Me, and believe in My word to you and you will stay strong against the attacks of the devil.
To sum up "My Word" to My many children today, is to declare these three words of an instruction to you:
Stay With Me!

Life is in the Seed
Hebrews 6:7 For ground that drinks the rain which often falls upon it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God.
Staying holy, staying in the guidelines of God’s instructions for our life will keep us bearing fruit (bring forth vegetation), and this fruit benefits those in need. A "word in season" will come from our lips if we stay aligned up to our Daddy’s rules for our life, and not only will we be blessed but also all those around us!

A "word in season" will come from our lips if we stay aligned up to our Daddy’s rules for our life, and not only will we be blessed but also all those around us!
If My people, who are called by My name, humble themselves in such a way to dedicate all of their ways to Me, much life will flow from your commitment to Me. My ways are unselfish and therefore My children need to represent Me in such a way to have My Fatherly love flow from their being. Sow into others lives and don't be so occupied with yourself and your affairs! Much life is in the seed which must be planted, and there are always many ways to "bring life" to another in need. An act of kindness, a word of encouragement, a hug or smile, a phone call, or money given are just a few ways of sowing into a needy persons life. Life is all about others and not yourself and this is the way of My kingdom.

Christmas Day Message of Hope
My precious children of light, today I bring hope and life to you on this special day of remembrance when My Son humbled himself to come into the world as a baby, to fulfil His life's mission. He came to bring hope, life, encouragment and a way out of sin, and to be a bridge to Me and all My goodness to you. Don't allow anything on earth, no matter what it may be, to stop you from coming forward into a stronger and deeper relationship with Me. All of Jesus persecutions and misunderstandings where all for your benefit, and for you to have a great life in Me through His sufferings.
Jesus started out as a baby representing your spiritual walk in Me, but He grew up in wisdom and heavenly principles, and therefore you must grow up and mature into an adult in your understandings and ways in Me. Don't stay in the baby stage spiritual speaking, but relinquish all of your concerns and move onward to greater things I have for you. A new year and therefore a new season is approaching and therefore I have special gifts to be awarded along your way when I see your acts of obedience. I always love you, I always cherish our times together, I so long for more of your devotion, and especially your trust in Me in everything! Don't try to figure out any of My ways, but rather wait in prayer, in faith, in hope, and soon you will see your deliverance!!!

Message of Fulfilled Hope for the Year 2010
My children of peace, as you have started a New Year, I want you to expect good things to come your way from Me. Fulfilled hope and fulfilled dreams of your desires will come to you, as you draw closer to Me and forgot your disappointments and sorrows of 2009. Leave the past behind, in the year it happened, and draw encouragement in My presence to recognize this year is a year of "fulfilled hope". I promise this, I declare this by covenant, and all you need to do is believe in My word, apply your faith, and wait trusting Me to bring about the fulfillment in My perfect timing. Draw from Me insights and much wisdom as you linger in My dwelling place, and you will be placed upon a path of high recognition for your faithfulness to Me.
Cling no longer to past issues which have kept you in bondage but live life free as a child of the King!

Hiding Place in Me
Psalm 27:5,6,14
For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle, in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me; and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
Wait for the Lord, be strong, and let your heart take courage; yes wait for the Lord.
When life's problems and situations seem too much for you to handle, come quickly to your hiding place which is in the bosom of My love and enduring presence. As My warmth rushes over you, covering you with My peace, you will look at your trials through new eyes and with a new determination to endure no matter how severe your circumstances. It is only through hiding away with Me, will you have the strength to overcome many hurdles and many temptations of quitting pushing forward, that the devil tempts you with. In My sanctuary of holiness you have found many truths, encouragements, and strength, and again you can embrace all the benefits of being My child if you choose to again take the hard road.
Run to Me the source of all your desires and be strengthened and encouraged this day for new life always begins in Me!

Sacrifice of Self
When winter seems long, and difficulties overlap into the next season, remember that joy does come in the morning, and therefore you will experience a breakthrough soon! Keep up the faith and keep in My sweet presence in order for strength to be provided for all your days.
Moments of glory will be experienced soon as you enter the threshold of a new life in Me. All your agonies, all your sorrowing times, will soon be lost in the goodness of Me experienced in your faithful life. Times are always tough on earth, but My glory revealed to you "at that hour" will continue to carry you on.
In order for My servants to be used greatly by Me in ministering to others, there has to be in place a "knowing" of what the other person is going through to better identify with their situation. None of your trials have been without a cost, but with that cost promotion will come and a greater anointing placed upon you for quick deliverance for others. Remember, My servants, life is to be experienced and not only to glide through to the other side. Without difficulties, your character would be without strength and without My love produced within you. Always, keep in mind that your numbered days on earth is for the eternity of souls gathered into My arms. Your sacrifice equals other people's freedom just as Jesus sacrifice produced your freedom.
A true life in Me is all about others and never about yourself. A fulfilled life wholly anointed and guided by Me, will produce the abundant life My people so desired to be complete!!!

As the Deer Pants...
Most of us are familiar with the Scripture passage of Psalm 42:1 which says: As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for Thee, O God.
The deer represents us and when we long to be in God's presence and allow Him to fill us then we are protected. The scent of the deer is removed in the water and therefore the deer's enemy can't find it. Spiritually speaking, this is the same way for us. We are protected when we are in the water (God's presence), and our enemy can not find us or our touch us! Awesome truth and awesome reassurance!
Most of My children hold back from coming to Me at that very time when they need Me and My protection the most. Sins, despair, or fear allow so many of My children to keep away from Me, and therefore be without My love, protection, and encouragement. I have provided a wonderful place for all to come, and so I long for you to run into My arms. I want to love you and softly and gently brush off the cares you are burdened with, and also to provide you with understanding of your situation and deliver pieces of wisdom. So much can be accomplished within My presence, but first you must make the first step to "COME!"

Refinement Time is NOW!!
Men and women of TRUTH are presently going through a great refinement ordered by Me. This refinement I speak of is to ready My people and My "called" servants to proceed holy, pure, and anointed in My will for their lives. All the storm clouds, all the wilderness wanderings, all the seemingly unanswered prayers, are all for the purposes of My preparation process in your life.
So, now go forth with TRUTH guiding all your ways reassured that I have not left you undirected or unprotected. I am watching over you and I am moving things in order for all to be aligned to soon put you on the brink of your true calling in Me.
The devil has hit you hard, you have had some injuries, but you have been determined not to allow your vision/dreams to escape, and therefore you have continued on pressing into Me. Always know that time means nothing to Me, but faith put into motion to fight your way through the storms of life greatly pleases and impresses Me!
Three strengths for your life to have "life in Me" when in battle with your enemy:
1. Prayer
2. Fasting
3. Giving
Matthew 6 says, when you pray. . . . when you fast.... and when you give.
The three (prayer, fasting, giving) are intertwined, and when you put them together, you will be unstoppable! ........ a threefold cord is not quickly broken.....(Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Rejoice and Wait!
A hard road with much difficulty has been the road most of My children have tread upon recently. I have good news to all today! News of a brighter season around the corner, a season of fulfillment of My promises to you, and a season of encouragement for your future days. Hope in Me, and continue to put forth your faith by using your spiritual eyes to see your future, and never look through your natural eyes to perceive present situations. My children, My chosen servants of service, you are about to explode in a new dimension of My glory and all your refinement has been for that "moment".
This year WILL be a year of restoration and acceleration for the purposes I have ordained for My servants! The devil has robbed many of you of past victories, but this year is a victorious year of My favour upon you!! Believe this good news to you, embrace My proclamation to you, and begin to thank and praise Me for your deliverance.

Greatest Treasure
My son Jesus was and is the greatest treasure which I surrendered to the world for all mankind to have "life in Me". Some rejected Him but others found forgiveness, freedom, and then a purpose by embracing His great sacrifice. I knew in My heart, My people, that only releasing My great treasure would bring about a people for My own purposes, and a people who would eventually serve Me wholeheartedly.
Now your mission in life, My people, My servants of redemption, is to choose to give up everything for My cause, for My kingdom, and you will receive your great reward in heaven when I receive you unto Myself. Sacrifice and surrender those relationships, those material items, and anything which would hinder you from drawing closer to Me, and wade into your great mission on earth.
Life is all about giving unselfishly to others and in order for this to occur, you MUST give up your greatest treasures for others to receive their freedom. I gave Jesus for others to have life, and now it is your turn to display this same act of love, in order for others to have freedom and a life in Me.

Walking in Authority and Victory
When My children recognize the great authority which has been handed to them, many victories will be won. Jesus overcame and so will you! All authority, every victory is yours because of My Son's great suffering on the cross. He died but then He lived! Some of you right now are feeling dead, lifeless, but I have good news for you today. You will also be resurrected as your flesh has been in the process of being crucified. Soon, very soon, you will be brought to life again with a renewed hope and purpose to begin the work I have planned for your life. Your trials are coming to an end, and a resurrecting process is beginning to happen.
The period of time before a great victory comes is the hardest, but remember to continue to walk in authority and do NOT allow the devil to hold you back from My plans for your life. Your enemy recognizes the potential in you for great things, and knows you are "marked" for My work and therefore has been hitting hard, but hit back. Hit back with all the authority that is given you and walk in the victory of Jesus. Be an over comer and allow nothing to stop you from fulfilling My purposes and plans. Remember suffering is only for a season, and then comes the breakthrough!

Tender Mercy and Purpose Attached to Your Life
When My tender mercy along with My purpose is attached to your life, nothing the enemy does to try and stop you will succeed!!! Many blows, trials, and sorrows have been yours in this season. Soon it is over and you will walk into the next season whole, and rejoicing you have "come through" by My continual encouragement and protection. The enemy will always try to wear you down when you are close to a breakthrough, but he has only been given permission for "this season" to attack and your tomorrows are Mine. Continue to be tough and determined to move forward and because of your persistence to be used by Me, you will see the bright future you have hoped and longed for.
My tender mercy has been displayed to you over and over again, and I would have you always remember this season of special mercy, in order for you to show the same kind of love to those who are in need of this kind of mercy. Judge not those you come in contact with, but rather love and show tender mercy. This command acted upon, will bring hope and vision to those in need of guidance and much love.
There is definitely a purpose attached to your life, and because of this the enemy has been hard on you and trying to keep you from fulfilling your destiny. As you have been getting closer to ministry, you feel like you have been getting farther from Me, but this is not true. Your heartaches and present life's experiences are just weighing you down, and so you do not perceive natural things through My eyes. Your present sufferings are actually decreasing "self" and filling you with Godly knowledge and principles to adhere to My ways and give you "power" to proceed on in your struggles. Soon, My child and My children, all of you will see the ray of sunshine through the dark clouds, and all of you whom are on the brink of ministry, will explode with new hope and a new lease on life. Restoration and acceleration of My promises to you, are still in My covenant unto you!!!

Perfection before Beauty
I am in the process of perfecting many of My children's lives presently in order to draw out the true beauty inside. Your deserts and difficult seasons have been part of this process in order for My true refinement to be revealed. It is a hard time to surrender completely to Me your potter, but if you allow yourself to be totally pliable, a vessel of honour and beauty will be brought forth. It is crucial that you would allow Me to continue to shape you and with that moulding comes discomforts, but if your sincerely surrender to "My cause", you will shine brightly as My chosen instrument.
Beauty has a way of coming about through sorrows and hard life experiences, but it will come as I perfect you in so many ways. Soon you will experience life as you have dreamt and hoped for, and it will all come with the cost of surrender.
