           I Call You Redeemed And Fruitful! 

My darling, My dear one. You have wandered far and struggled through
many storms. How pleased I am that once again you keep your eyes on 
the One you love. 

The cares of this world and many voices at times have left you anxious.
Indeed you have been purged from idols, having valued the opinions of
man above Mine. 

You know now, My dear one that My heart towards you has not changed. I
have loved you with an everlasting love and I am compassionate towards
you. You have dove's eyes and like a lily of the valley, your worship is
a sweet smelling aroma before My throne. 

You know that I do not condemn My own. You know now that I see My
holiness in your eyes when I look at you and that My Spirit has done a
perfect work in you and that you stand redeemed by the blood of My Son.
You know that when I see you I see Jesus judged on the cross and you:
holy, redeemed and sanctified.

You are My glory, glorious one. How pleased I am that you still call
upon My name through every attack and storm. How pleased I am that in
the midst of persecution, accusation and trouble you still fear Me as
your God. How pleased I am that you hold dear and as real the blood of
My Son.

Indeed you have come through many trials and you have conquered; you
have allowed Me to do a constant work in you and indeed you now draw
nearer still! 

You have learned that I am the only constant one, that I am a friend 
closer than a brother, and that I will never leave nor forsake you.
You embrace Me every step of the way, not relying on your own 
righteousness, wisdom or strength. You know I that am your Father,
shield, fortress, high tower, redeemer and savior. You know well that
you are redeemed because of Me, not because of who you are and what 
you have done or ever will do. You have done well.

In this place of My intimate embrace My love, keep entering into your
joy! Everything works together for good for those who love Me. I always
deliver those who love Me, and who can condemn when I justify? I have
called you. I have purposed your destiny. And you will fulfill the call,
because you have personal knowledge of My name -- knowing Me personally
and intimately.

You have learned to walk in Me, one step and one day at a time, trusting
Me. This, My dear one, is how I desire you to continue. Your abiding in
Me produces much fruit! Abide in My love for you, and you will only do
what you hear Me say and do what you see Me do. Continue, you have done
well! Keep entering into the joy of your Father!

I hear you ask, "But Lord how will I answer My persecutors?" It is simple
My child, I AM has sent you!

Like Joseph, you have been misunderstood by many, but I issued this call
to a throne. In humility you will reign and you will make a way for
those I love and there are many who will be drawn to you, because like
you they have been wounded and left for dead. You will be My good
Samaritan and from you will flow My river of living water. You know the
One Who quenches any thirst and you will supply them water from the
rock. 

Now, enter into your joy; hold tightly onto Me and you will walk tall in
the boldness and courage I have given you. You are My chosen one and
there is much work to do.

Enter into the position I have called you to.

Like Moses, you will speak My words; you will set My people free from
bondage.  You have seen Me in the burning bush, you have been purged.
I allow you to walk through your own personal desert in order to prepare 
you for this call. You have walked through being prepared, now go! 
Proclaim!  Deliver! Heal! Set free! I have sent you, so enter into the 
promised land! 

I have called you to walk by faith and not by sight and this you now
understand.  Like Abraham, you have believed My promise and you know I am 
your exceedingly great reward. 

Like Mary, I call you highly favored for you have chosen to believe that
with Me nothing shall be impossible. You have refused to abort what I
have imparted. Birth and harvest is sure. Well done, My child, there are
greater things still ahead. Keep entering into your joy and walk with Me
for I am with you! 

You are walking on, pushing forward, taking territory. You are focused
on My call. You will know great victories and you will accomplish much!
You abide in Me and My words abide in you; I call you redeemed and
fruitful! Now go!

	shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
