Wake up call

I am calling you closer, My children. Deep calls unto deep at the sound of My waterspouts. With every rising breath that you take I am doing a healing. So breathe deeply, My children. Exhale all that has weighed you down, and breathe in the freshness of My life....new hope....new beginnings...life in Me abundantly.

And I am opening doors for you to enter. New opportunities for you to share My love with others. And I will pour out My anointing upon you that you may do My works in the land. I am preparing your hearts so that I can move freely through you.

I am taking away all that has been a hindrance to you. I am stretching your faith and proving Myself faithful so you can boldly proclaim My faithfulness to others. And signs and wonders will follow My words coming through you because all the hindrances will be gone.

So open up freely to Me and let Me work deeply. And in return you will bless Me by your faith, and My people will be set free. It all begins with you as you open up to Me completely.

Now is the day of salvation. Now is the day to choose who you are to serve. Now is the time to put down anything standing in your way to serve Me wholeheartedly and completely. It is closer than you think to My return. I am doing a shaking in the land. Everything that is not of Me will fall.

I am preparing your hearts to do a complete and total surrender to My perfect will. No more holding back. This is the day of salvation. This is the day to take back all the ground the enemy has stolen, and to walk in the inheritance that I have purchased for you.

You are My children and I love you and don't want you to miss out of all the blessings that I have for you and to prepare you completely for what is ahead. I want you ready, My children. I am calling you near to search your hearts and dispose all that is not of Me. I am admonishing you, My children. Heed to the cry of My heart for you to be ready!

The Lord is doing a shaking of the foundations...all false securities....all that we have put our trust in outside of Him. And if we are willing, He will show us these areas.....if we are serious about going on with Him to walk in the fullness of His will for our lives.
