The Storm Is Coming!
-----

There is a storm brewing that you cannot escape or run away from. Do not try to run but rather turn and face the storm. But, do not stop with just facing it, run, yes RUN with all your might into the storm. For in the storm I will keep you safe for I am in the eye of the storm. I will guide and direct you when you run to Me. I will protect you and keep my arms around you. Do not fear nor try to avoid the storm. You will only find safety when you get to the center of the storm. There you will find safety though all around you the tempest roars and things are being turned upside down and every which way. Stay in the eye of the storm until it passes.

The time may seem very long but there is much that I must change to bring My Body, My Bride to the place where I need her to be. Many changes must take place. The shaking and the storm will cleanse although the process will be very hard for many if they are not in the middle of it. Just as an old piece of furniture must be sandblasted to remove and strip the old paint and varnish so I must do with My people to have the end product be a Bride, cleansed, pure and perfected. There is only one way to avoid the harshness of the process and that is to enter it and run to Me for all around Me the storm is gathering in intensity.

There will be many changes in the coming year, some subtle. some very bold and prominent both within the churches and outside of it within My Body.

My Bride has held back in preparing herself and so the storm must come to force her toward Me. Those that would try to run and say the storm is from the enemy or stand their ground to fight in their own strength will have a very hard time during this period of time. They will survive but be battle worn and then not have the strength to fight in the battles that the enemy will wage against them. I will not stop the battles, for they are necessary for you to learn from, but I will protect you in the battles. Know that this is only preparation for those things that are to come and must take place.

Get Ready! GET READY!! The storm is fast approaching!
