A TIME OF PREPARATION

Come unto Me and rejoice for this is the season to praise Me for what I am about to do through you, My children. Yes, this is the season to praise Me not just for who I am but what I will do through you. For I have been preparing you, My children, through many hard times in order that you would be prepared to carry My glory for I can only move through a broken vessel of honor and glory.

Come unto Me and let Me continue to purge you of any impurities. Let Me bring all the dross to the surface so that I can completely skim it off. For that is what these hardships that I have allowed you to go through were ordained to accomplish in you....a total cleansing and purging of your heart. For it is under the fire of My love, through the trials that I have designed for you alone, that you find out what is really in your heart.

Yes, you want to trust Me, but there is still so much in the way that hinders that perfect trust to come forth. For I have placed in every heart of My people the measure of faith that they need to walk through ever trial victoriously, but because of the root of unbelief you have not been able to stand on My word.

So come unto Me and let Me show you that you really do have what it takes to stand against the fiery darts of the enemy of your soul. Let Me show you that deep in your heart that you do have My word planted. Let Me show you that you can stand and yes, you can rest in My faithfulness.

It is utmost importance, My children, that you come unto Me and rest in My presence. Let Me hold you close and refresh you with My loving touch. Let Me hold your head against My breast and let you hear My heart of love beat for you. Let Me whisper in your ear what you long to hear of My grace and truth and My comforting words of love. Let Me strengthen you and show you the way to go and prepare you..... for what is ahead of you is a mighty move of My spirit. Yes, I will move through you mightily and it is all up to you. Will you draw close to Me and let Me do My work, says your God.
