                          A Time To Return
                    
This is the day where there is a wide array of misunderstandings among 
My people, concerning what I would have them to do. Many have fallen 
prey to the enemy and many have fallen into snares set up by the enemy.  
But I want you to know that no matter what the snare, and no matter what 
type of captivity you have gotten into, I am faithful to set you free.  

I am the God of new beginnings, of a brand new start that will be far 
better than what you have ever imagined it to be. What the enemy has 
meant for harm, I will turn for an abundance of good.

For you were faithful through the storm and the turmoil.  You never 
lost sight of My face. You kept holding on to Me no matter what came 
against you. And now I will bless you for your faithfulness. I will 
make you stronger than before, and wiser, and I will bless your bread 
and your water and all that concerns you with abundance.  What the 
enemy took from you will be returned four-fold.

Now I want you to examine your heart to see if you have walked whole-
heartedly with Me up to this point. Consider what areas you could have 
fallen short in, and I will give you the gift of repentance, so that 
you can turn back to Me even in those areas. I will help you to be 
willing to do all that I've called you to do. 

Don't have any regrets for what you've been through, for I say that all 
things work together for the good for those who are called by My name.
I love you, and I bless you this day with the favor that you need to make
a new start to go in the direction I am calling you in. I pour out great 
grace and wisdom, so that you will walk in peace and safety. I bless your 
health, your family, your finances--Indeed, I will bless all that concern 
you. So pick yourself up and brush yourself off, for this is a new 
beginning for you. Old things have passed away. Behold, all things have 
become new.
