Barrenness

You who have been in a place of barrenness yet have waited upon Me have cried out. And I have heard from on high. I have heard you cry out, "when?" You have asked me, "when shall the fulfillment come, for I am not so young anymore, and I am not so able to bear as I once was. And I say unto you, that you have watched and waited until such a time has come that what once seemed possible in the natural is now no longer possible. I say unto you that NOW it is by faith ALONE that you will receive the promise.

In your own inability to make it happen, My ability becomes your central focus. Look full into My face and see that you are not forgotten nor alone.

I have carried you like a broken child over many miles and I am putting the pieces back together again. This desert area is not void of life, for I have even dug an oasis for you. Though it be hid from your view at the moment, your feet shall SURELY find this place of blessing and goodness.

You are a child of the promise carrying a child of the promise!! Do not despair, or grieve, or give up. My hand is upon you. Receive My peace.
