                        Transformation

You have called and I have caused My ear to hear you. The cries of My
children are precious to Me.  I have heard your secret petitions and I 
have answered. 

In this hour, great healing will flow forth from within and the effects
will even be seen without.  I clean the inside of the cup first.
You have walked with hurt for years and have bravely fought every battle
in My Name. Now it is time to move forward in even greater power.  
Therefore I'm healing you from every great hindrance ever hindering you
and all those things that have slowed you down.

You say, "But Lord, why only now as I have been serving You for years?"

My child you were not ready. So now in My perfect timing we will once and 
for all uproot these things that you have tolerated for years.  You are 
now battle strong and ready to take on Goliath. Your strength is of the 
heart. 

And although every cut of surgery seems dreadful, I assure you that you
are in the Healer's hands. I cut not like man and I don't heal like him.
Trust Me to do this supernatural work that will leave you permanently
transformed. You are My bride and only the best will do for you. I will
care for you every step of the way.  

Now rest in My arms and let the capable Surgeon do His work. My love will 
transform you even further, My love.
