                             Now

My beloved one, do not think it strange all the distractions I have
taken out of your life. It was too easy for you to avoid and turn your
head away from that which I am bringing your attention to focus on.
Yes, My Beloved it has been hard and I have heard your every cry. I
have even given you the voice of My Holy Spirit to utter and moan
that which you have no words for. I have constantly reminded you not to
look at the circumstances and the high waters that have surrounded you.

Yes it seems overwhelming and at times you have thought it would
swallow you up. It has felt heart wrenching and you have felt the
attack of the mind. You have remained faithful in all of this as each
step and each time you have fallen because of your weakened knees,
and you have reached the end of your own strength and called for My
Strength. Though the time seems to drag on I reassure you this day
that a great and mighty thing I have prepared in the wing of your life
is about to break forth and transpose your current situation and
excruciating pain into the higher level of My peace, My joy, My purpose
and My plans that I am setting before you.

You are obedient My Child. I have heard ever cry, every moan, every
guttural shout. I have captured every tear. I have seen every move,
every fall, every secret thing. I have heard the silent things of you
too.

But know this day Child that I am releasing this new season in your
life that will take you to higher places where I will make your foot
sure in it's place. I will lay everything out before you so you will
not even wonder or guess that it is from Me. You will know in all surety
that it I am guiding you because you have kept your eyes on Me as your
help, your strong tower, your everything. What can man do to you because
I am with you! Girding your loins, I am showing you now that I am the
lifter of your head, I am the author of your life. Lean, lean, lean on
Me still. Pass your own understanding, beyond all you can think and ask,
into My faithfulness, in My power and deeper in My Love.

Now. Stand. Now. Faith. Now. You will see. My guidance and instructions
are being placed before you. Be Quiet, be still, the vision, the dream
will reveal in part. My Wisdom I reveal to you as you stay in Me. I am
in control. I love you. My Love never fails. Love Me. Just Love Me. Love
Me More. Closer and deeper and higher I take you. You will see from My
point of view. Live in My love; My arms are around you. I am all around
you. No weapon formed against you will prosper. Now stand, My beloved!
The battle is Mine and I have overcome the world! Now, love Me more.
