Focus On Me
-----

As a season draws to an end, I have chosen this time, indeed this generation, to witness a birth of power flooding throughout My Church. All will see and will be given the opportunity to receive a fresh touch of My Spirit.

In this season I call for My people to lay aside much of their 'regular' duties to focus upon Me, for in this day I am speaking to the hearts of those who are listening, ready to receive.

Many of you, My children, distract yourselves from coming into My presence daily but I say to you, come, I am calling. Come, I want to speak to you, to allow you to know My heart.

You will know the pulling of your spirit as I call. I am calling My chosen children to come into My presence and listen. I will give them ears to hear and grant them wisdom and discernment to understand what I am doing and what I am about to do in this generation.

Many indeed wander to and fro but I call aloud this day, " My children, set aside time for Me". Lay aside 'your needs' and come and sit at My feet. I have laid a banquet table, ready for all those who will heed this call. As I call and you respond, you will be fed. You will be nourished. My call has been made and My children, when you have sensed in your spirit a pulling and a tugging, it is My Spirit calling you to come and dine with Me. I hold much within My presence and I now want to share much with My Church.

As the prophetic and apostolic leadership is being brought back into the mainstream of My Church, to work hand in hand with My Pastors, Teachers and Evangelists, I have much to pour into them - My chosen leaders. Fresh revelations will feed My chosen ones; those to whom I have purposed to walk in these offices. I have laid much aside for them and I am calling them to dine with Me and feed within My presence.

As I feed My leaders, so I will feed My Church.

Much of what I am giving to My leaders will be given to My Church through their teachings, but I call to all of My children, to come and sit at My table and eat. I am calling all people forward to feed within My presence.

Not all will receive the same food, but to each person will be appointed nourishment for himself or herself and in turn to encourage and comfort others. A time of great harvest has come but I am still asking you all to sow. Sow to reap.

Expect My blessings as you heed My commandments. My throne of grace is approachable to you all, My children, so come and speak with Me, in boldness. Not in irreverence but in humility, with boldness and assurance that I will hear and answer your cries.

My children, within this season, listen to My voice. I am always calling, My question to you, " Are you always listening ?" For even within the stillness, I am calling.

Within His presence is love, health, peace, joy, protection, prosperity, salvation and direction. His presence brings an increase to every area of our lives. Through a time of much sowing, refining through fire and great change, according to His will, the Church has come. He now calls for us to climb higher. To climb up higher into His mountain. For in this season He is revealing His heart to all who have heeded His call. A time of great harvest is here; a time of great power is here; a season of much feeding is here; all to bring us to our Master's feet and listen.

"But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves. You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this, says the Lord of Hosts." Malachi 4:2
