                 Transitioning and Positioning

This is a great time of transitioning and positioning. For some, the
place you have recently been sent to is not your final destination.
It is only a temporary place of preparation before positioning you
in that place for the upcoming outpouring of My Spirit. Do not detest
the hardships you are facing; you will go through them. Remember the
key word is through. There is much to be done in a short time. Avail
yourself to Me, that I may pour out My Spirit upon you to refresh you 
and prepare you.

I have called you for such a time as this. You have learned to walk
with Me in the hard places. Do not be discouraged. You are not 
"starting over." You are maturing and gaining much needed wisdom for 
the upcoming battle, because it will be a great battle with high 
stakes. But remember that the battle belongs to the Lord, and you 
will win so long as you stay close to Me.

Be blessed in your resting in Me. I have brought you this far, and I
will not leave you. There are greater things yet to come. I have
promised this to My people, whom I love and who love Me. The time 
is now!


Joel 2:28-29 "And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people.
        Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will 
	dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on My 
	servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in 
	those days" (NIV).

Acts 2:17-18 "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit
        on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your 
	young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 
	Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My 
	Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy" (NIV).
