                       He Will Renew Our Strength!


    But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall 
    mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they 
    shall walk and not faint. --  Isaiah 40:31


"Some of My children have grown weary in well doing. They have broken up
much fallow ground, they have plowed, they have planted and they have sowed
much seed, yet their harvest has yielded just enough to get by.

"Some of My children have given over and above in their tithes and their
offerings and theirs labors and their lives for the gospel's sake, yet they
still have little as compared to those who gathered where they have not
sown.

"For I am He who calls forth the season of abundant harvests and have been
watching you and waiting to see if you would endure. For the season is
coming behold, the days are coming when the plowman shall overtake the
reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall
drip with sweet wine, and all your hills shall flow with it.

"Know that this is not the season to rest but the season to gird up your
loins and run swiftly toward that which is changing, afresh and anew. For it
has not been the labor that has made you weary but the works that no longer
yield fruit from My womb but by the arm of the flesh. Dead works have made
you grow weary because I cannot bring forth a harvest on soil filled with
leaven.

"Because you have waited on Me, your strength will be renewed and I will
return to you the years the cankerworm and locust have stolen. The feelings
of restlessness and discontentment were not your soul but My Spirit
preparing you for change so that you may enter into your promised land.

"For you have learned much, and suffered much, and put up with much and
gained much by your wilderness experience but it is now time to come out of
the wilderness, not as one who travels by foot, but as an eagle, soaring
high so that you may see the whole vision that I have given you to fulfill.

"This is no ordinary vision as these are not ordinary times; but times that
are ordained for those who labored and toiled and sweated and prayed and
given all that they had to do what I had set before them. For this is a time
requiring My supernatural strength and that is what you shall be given by My
Spirit.

"You've been through the tests and the trials, and you've called upon Me
both to resist temptation and when you've succumbed to it; but one thing I
know, you've never made anyone or anything else your first love but Me. For
this is the season that I will reward my loyal and faithful ones, this is
yet another season of labor, but this is also the season where your barns
shall be full and you shall both sow and reap and receive your hundred fold
return."
