...a flood of His Word...
....No man or man's hand will hold back the waters of the Lord as they come to flood this place with His Glory and Presence. He has heard the cries of His people, those who cry in the midnight hour, to the One who neither slumbers nor sleeps, for Him to release His river of compassion and promise upon this land, this place, to bring forth Life, and that more abundantly.
Listen and you will hear His footsteps as He comes near to bring His strength to His people who await Him, to do His good pleasure upon them and the land in which they dwell. The Lord is good, gracious, and full of compassion, and He has heard your cry. He will not fail to bring forth His flood upon you and those whom you have lifted before Him, for His promise is to you and to all that are afar off from Him, to bring near, near, nearer to Himself, that they may learn to recognize His voice, the Word of the Lord to His people.
Behold, He comes! The hour of visitation is not far off but close at hand. In that day, He will soften the hearts of the sinner to receive that which you have upon your lips to give and bring life -- so, speak life, therefore, hoe, water, and till for the harvest is to be great. Hearken to the Lord in the hour of His call and instruction and do that which is set before you to do without complaint or murmuring , for in this will your peace be set.
Fret not, for your God will accomplish His Word upon you, for you have made committment to Him and He is well able to keep you and be accounted worthy of the praise due unto His name, for He is glorious and watches over His Word to perform it.
Trust and see that He is your Redeemer and Lord, the One who gathers His flock to His fold to love, keep, and protect. Hear Him, all ye His people, all ye His saints.
May you each find the flood of His love and His word the most refreshing of waters......
