                        Time To Press In

When the heaven is like brass, the enemy wants you to believe that I do
not hear your cry in the night, but that is when I am the closest to
you. I want you to know that when you press in, even though you don't
feel My presence, is when you receive My greatest reward. For I said I
would reward those who diligently seek Me and those who walk by faith
and not what they feel.

For this is the day and the hour when I am drawing My bride the closest
to Me. For I know your pain, and the turmoil of your soul, and that the
enemy is coming in as a flood trying to distract you from entering in,
but if you cast him aside and continually seek My face, you will receive
the breakthrough that you have been believing for.

Continue to worship Me and delight in My presence when you have the
opportunity. Yes, lose yourself in My presence, and I will lift you up
and strengthen you, for this is the final hour and watching and praying
is an essential necessity to make it to the end. Do not allow the enemy
to find you off guard.

Do not give into what you see around you, but continue to stand on My
word believing that I will come through. I am in control of all that
you see around you, and all of it will work for your good if you just
trust Me.

Yes, this is the day of the latter rain outpouring, and I am drawing
forth My bride to do great exploits with signs and wonders following.
Don't give up, but keep pressing in, My beloved, for you are at the edge
of a powerful waterfall Whose river will take you swiftly to the end if
you would just enter in and press through.

Yes, you will have breakthrough. Yes, you have the victory! My will be
done on earth as it is in heaven. My kingdom is within you. Let it flow
forth. Expect the greater works. Expect the revival. Expect the salvation
of your loved ones. Expect healing and restoration. If it is in My word,
then it is My will for you. Don't settle for less than the best t hat I
gave My life for you to have. You are to have life and life abundantly.
You are to prosper and to be in health as your soul prospers. See k My
face. Yes, even if the heavens are as brass.
