                        Casting the Net

    (I believe it is primarly for those who are already in ministry. 
    Be encouraged and SAIL FORTH!!)

"Wade out in the water. It is not YET deep enough to cover your heads. Don't
look back to see who is following!! As you wade deeper and deeper, cast your
net, don't worry about the direction. You just need to cast, I will look
after netting the fish that I have chosen. The net is vast, it will fall
behind you and in front of you, it will catch the ones who are already in
the deeper water and the ones who have barely dipped in a toe, and you will
be in the midst of the net, joyfully exclaiming over the precious cargo of
servant leaders and disciples that have been brought into this ministry.  

At first you were casting the net alone, and it couldn't reach very far, but
now one by one I have brought to you other netcasters and given you a bigger
net, and together you have cast this vision and before your eyes you are
seeing the NET expand and expand as more hands readily take their place, and
in unity of heart and purpose, this shall go forth.

Expect a miraculous catch. Expect miraculous provision, it is nothing for Me
to multiply the loaves and the fishes. Do not limit Me. Shall I not do it
again and even more for My faithful servants, for My work to go forth!!
Celebrate every victory no matter how small. Let faith arise as you see with
your own eyes the goodness of God, as I bare My holy arm on your behalf.

Treasures are found in deeper waters. Pearls formed in adversity, glowing 
in radiant, lustrous beauty. Submerged for many years, unnoticed, overlooked
until now. Until now when the breath of My Spirit blows off the fine silt
and mud and reveals the treasures beneathe, reveals My sons and My
daughters, no greater treasure have I than these. I will place MANY of them
in your hands because you have proven trustworthy with a little, and so now
more will be given, but more will be required of you. 

So walk circumspectly, walk humbly. Seek My Face. I have given you My 
hearts desires and so now made yours Mine. Let Me navigate for I own the 
ONLY copy of the map, I will show you portions of it as I choose to reveal 
in My kairos time, but remember you see only in part, you do not see the 
whole picture, but you will see enough to go forth and do My will and 
further My Kingdom. It is My pleasure to choose you, to equip you and to 
anoint you for service in the King's Navy. Sail forth into bright horizons."
