                 Moving Forward In the Spirit 

I see a re-defining of focus in the body of Christ--deep hurts are 
coming up and out of His Beloved. There is a purpose in this, His 
divine purpose! I feel the Spirit His loving kindness, such love flows 
with His heart of compassion for us. I pray I can express His heart in 
this, and that you will feel His loving compassion.

He wants focus, as there are so many distractions. These distractions 
cause us to not flow in the Spirit the way that our spirit deeply longs 
for. And ohhhh, I see so many finding it hard to let go of what His 
Spirit pin-points to let go of, to give away or to give up. It is hard. 
He says these things are distractions from His goal, His aim, His 
purpose for us. They are hindrances stopping up His flow--His precious 
holy anointing flow. 

He wants to remind us that it requires obedience for us to move forward.
We have tried, and watched as doors close and ways became stopped up. 
But He is bringing each one of us back to this place that His Hand has 
pin-pointed for us to give up and release. This is a deep concern of 
His heart, because He knows our longings. He sees our tears, and hears 
our cries. But He is saying, "My beloved, I cannot help until you do 
what I have shown you to do that you might get what you have asked for. 
I long to answer your request." 

Oh beloved of the Most High, let us go back to this place He has truly 
shown us. We know what that place is because His Spirit has already 
shown us, reminded us. To obey is to find His richest treasures, given 
without measure. 

God will move us forward into His desired end, and well will see our 
desire fulfilled. It is His Call and it is His Will to give the desires
of our heart to us. 

Heed His call, Oh Beloved. If you only could see how His heart grieves 
for our release....

    Lord Jesus, help each one who reads these words to know the 
    compassion of Abba Father, to know it is His Love that waits to 
    give. It is His will for us to know Him, to be filled with all 
    of His Fullness! Help each of us to surrender those hard 
    distractions. Give us grace and mercy, and Your Hand extended 
    to help us. 

    Lord Jesus I thank You that even now, You are interceding for 
    us to move forward in All the Father has for us. Thank You Lord. 
    amen.
