A Word For Those Who Have Been Seeking God's Face
My child, of course I desire to speak to you and to manifest Myself to
you. Don't you know that I love you and I delight in you? I am about
to draw you into a greater depth of intimacy than you have ever walked
in before. As you pray and you seek Me and you ask Me for greater
depths of relationship with Me, I will surely meet you and manifest
Myself to you and surround you with My presence.
You will be amazed at the things I am about to do in your life. Child,
I have destined much for you and I am about to bring you into it. This
will be a frightening time for you, for it is a fearsome thing to come
before the very ppresence of almightly God. Child, know that your sins
are forgiven. When you stand before Me and taste of My holiness, you
will be overwhelmed with your own sin. Know that each and every sin
is under the blood of the lamb and is forgiven and cleansed.
You are going to find that My ppresence, which you have so desired, is
not at all like you expect it to be. It will truely be terrifying for
you.. but at the same time it will be a time of awe for you. Child,
you will go back and revisit these encounters in your mind and you
will want to kick yourself for having what you consider inappropriate
responses. Do not feel ashamed when this occurs.. for I say unto you
that it is not possible to come before the ppresence of the living God and
not be totally overwhelmed. I only allow those whose hearts are pure
before Me to come into My presence in a tangible way. And yet, when
you stand before Me, you will be aware of every imperfection and every
impurity. And child, you will be horrified with how you will see yourself.
Know in advance that I am not horrified with you. Child, your heart is
after Me and it pleases Me. You have been seeing Me through a very thick
cloud, through a veil. I am about to lift the corner of that veil and
give you a glimpse of My glory. You will not be able to handle it.. no
human being can. You will be so frightened that you will want to run
away from Me. But fear not, I am going to prevent you from doing that..
for if you did, you would "kick yourself" over that behavior for a very
long time. You will be so terrified and overwhelmed with My glory and My
holiness that you will not be able to think clearly. I am about to
mainfest Myself to you at a higher level, with greater clarity and greater
intensity, and you will find it overwhelming. Do not be frightened of
making inappropriate responses.. child it will not be possible for you to
respond to Me in a manner that you consider appropraite.. you will not be
in control at all.. I will be in control.
You will find that I am good and I am loving and I am full of mercy and
grace. At the same time, child, you will find that I am truthful and I am
realistic. I am going to examine some areas of your life where you will
not measure up. But fear not, I am not coming to condemn you, but to
reveal and then to transform. Child, you will feel very small in My
manifest ppresence. But know this, I am with you and I am for you and I
will cause you to be changed and transformed. You have told Me that you
desire a greater depth of intimacy with Me. Your heart has longed for
this and you have cried out to Me for it. Child, I am granting it to you..
but you will find that face to face I am a very formatable God. You will
not be able to stand before Me. Fear not, I will hold you in the palm of
My hand and I will cover you with My wings. Child, the terror that will
come upon you will not be to separate you from Me, but to draw you closer.
I am telling this to you now so that when you have stood before Me and
felt the intensity of My holiness and the fire of My presence, you will
know that I am pleased with you and that I am going to take you farther
in Me than you have ever gone before. I love you child, and you are a
cause of great delight to Me. Sinful humans cannot stand in My ppresence.
And yet, as I allow you before Me, you will be transformed by My glory
until you become the person who I have destined you to be. I am going
to work a true humility in you, a humility that will not resist My call
and My destiny on your life. I am going to give you eyes to see and ears
to hear at a level that you have never moved at before. I am going to
break the feters of unbelief off of you and I am going to give you a gift
of faith that will move mountians. I am going to allow you to come to an
intimacy with Me that you have never experieced before.
See, child of Mine, My plans for you are good and I am pleased with you.
Do not allow fear to overcome you, remind yourself of My charcter and of
My nature and of My faithfulness. I am faithful to fulfill the promises
that I have made to you, every one of them.
