                     I Will Pour Life Into You

I want to pour My life into you, but child, you must be willing to receive 
it from Me. So many times I want to speak words of encouragement to you,
but you are not always willing to sit still and listen to them. There are
so many times when I want to strengthen you, to saturate you with My 
presence, but you don't always want to spend the time with Me.

Child, I am your life and your strength. The way that I sustain you is by
allowing you to come into My presence and worship before My throne. Child,
if you bypass spending time with Me, you also bypass the strength and 
substance that I want to give to you.  I have set a cup of refreshment before 
you, but it is up to you to pick up that cup and drink of it.

Child, I am indeed the giver of good gifts and I have many good gifts to
give to you. But at times, your hands are full because you are clutching
onto something that is not of Me, and you have to let it go before you can
receive the good gift that I have for you. There are times when you have to
trust Me and let go of the tattered rags you cling to, that I might put a 
garment of white linen in your hands. There are times when you have to let
go of a relationship that is holding you back and pulling your down, there 
are times when you must place a loved one into My hands that I might begin 
to work in their life.  There are times when you have to let go of the 
things that you think give you life and substance, and instead receive it 
from My hand instead.

Child, the truth is that I do love you and I do want your joy to be full.
I want you to walk in My peace and I want to provide for your every need.
I am a Father who loves to take good care of His children, and I will take
good care of you if you will only let Me do so.  But in order for Me to 
take care of you, you must stop trying to take care of yourself from your 
own strength and strategies and resources. Learn to trust Me. Learn to wait
patiently on Me. Then you will see My glory come; then you will see My
provision overtake your limited resources.  Then you will see that I am
not only able to take good care of you, I am also willing. Then you will
begin to receive the showers of refreshment that I am releasing over you.

If you truly trust Me, you will begin to change you behavior before Me. You 
will stop worrying about things that you have no control over, and place them
into My hands.  You will start submitting to My perfect plans for you, knowing 
that I have your good at heart. You will learn to linger in My presence, to
wait before My throne and allow My nearness to saturate you.  You will begin
to receive My refreshment and My strength will begin to pour into you.

Then your faith will begin to grow, and you will see the mountains begin to 
move before you. You will see My power and My working actively on your behalf. 
You will see My anointing rest upon you and you will be filled with greater 
and greater measures of My joy.

So trust Me, child, and wait on Me. Linger in My presence and I will surely
meet you, to encourage you and to strengthen you. I will reveal more of Myself 
to you and teach you to better walk in My ways.  I will set you in that place 
of victory and I will cause you to overcome all of the enemy's strategies 
against you.  I will surround you with My goodness and I will saturate you 
with My peace.  My love will burst forth from you like a river, and I will 
accomplish My good purposes in your life.

I will pour My life into you if you will choose to receive it from My hand.
