                       Spiritual Puberty
                    
I am the one who is empowering new things in the life of My body.
Look at it this way--change is coming in a similar way that change
comes to a young woman as she enters into puberty. There will be
changes in her body--new things will develop, and there will be
differences from how it was before. And yet, it is as I have
designed it from the beginning. It was pre-written into her DNA,
and it is My plan and My perfection for her body to grow and
develop in that new way.

Likewise, My body here on earth is hitting a type of spiritual puberty.
I am doing new things--different things. But they are only new to you, 
and not to Me. It was written into your DNA as a church from the 
moment you were conceived. But you do not know how to read this DNA 
in the spirit...so you have to trust Me in this. 

Here is what I am requiring of you at this time and in this season: 
Trust Me! Believe that I am faithful. Trust that if you begin to 
misstep or go astray, I am both able and willing to correct you. 
Don't stop moving forward when I lead you into something new; 
instead, trust Me to guide you as you move forward. Know that I am 
able to communicate clearly to you, no matter what you think your 
proficiency is in hearing My voice, for it is NOT about you and 
your hearing...but it is about Me and My ability. 

Trust in My ability to lead you. Trust in My ability to communicate 
clearly. Trust in My ability to keep you on course. Trust in My 
faithfulness, for I am faithful in all things.
