The Time is Now. Listen!

There is a time to listen and that time is now for My children. Now, listen. My children are being made ready and prepared. Their ears are turned toward Me with commitment. Commit yourselves to hearing and seeking Me in this season. I am calling and promoting and moving Mine into position.

Know where I am sending/placing you through hearing My word. How shall you precede, but by the confidence you have of My voice inside of you. Be assured that I speak to you and I the Lord Thy God has placed that desire inside of you to hear My voice. Your heart longs for My voice to make contact with you ears. You long for direction, for wisdom, for instructions and how you long to hear Me say I Love You. You want to know if you are in the right place doing My will. You must hear My voice with confidence, commitment and great clarity to know this. You must be committed to hearing.

Time must be spent in My presence to attain the level of hearing you desire. Know My desire to speak to you and to be heard. I desire for you to have such confidence that you know that it is the I AM speaking to you. Our relationship is based on soundness when you speak and I hear and I speak and you hear. Our relationship is also based on love and how would it be if one lover was silent and the other lover did all the speaking. The relationship would be unbalanced, but our relationship must be balanced. I long My beloved for you to hear My heart of love for you. My love will build you up and keep you from falling in times of trouble.
