                     Prepare for Jericho
   
My dear Child, you have done well in your time of preparation, and you kept 
your ears and heart open to My voice. No matter what was going on around 
you, or no matter what people said to discourage you, you still kept your 
focus upon Me and made consistent progress in your everyday growth. Now it 
is time to begin what I have prepared you for, but there are a few things 
that I need to tell you before we go forward so that you can remain strong 
and bear good fruit in the new land I am sending you to.
   
I would call you this day to walk in all that I that I have shown you during 
your time of preparation so that you can have stability and consistency in 
this new thing I will do in your life. We are going forward and I am happy 
and pleased to do this, but I need you to do what is right and to walk in 
the truth, even when you feel weary or tempted to sin.  There will be many 
days up ahead that will be very busy, but you must remember that you will 
only remain strong during each day, if you spend good time with Me.
   
I am sending you forward to your next assignment and I want you to remember 
what happened in Jericho long ago. It was critical that My children were 
obedient to My direction and that they waited for My power to bring the 
victory. They marched as a group, and not as individuals. You need your 
brothers and sisters to be able to win the victory. You cannot and should 
not try to do this alone. Keep your clothes clean, and keep your eyes and 
ears upon Me, and all the walls ahead will surely fall.
   
You will see temptations along the way, but I have already trained you how 
to make the right decisions. Trust Me, and practice obedience. There is no 
room for disobedience in the great conquest I am calling you to, for your 
enemy will try to distract you with old temptations. Cry out to Me and 
others for help if this happens, and do not try to beat it alone. I have 
trained you to walk in truth in the wilderness, so that you could continue 
to live that way everyday in your new promised land.
   
Your daily obedience will open the new doors to what I am calling you to 
do. I am leading you into abundance, and you will remember what it was like 
to live on manna, but you will not eat of it anymore. I will surely heal 
and restore all that needs to be healed and restored in your life. Though 
you have waited for so long, you will wait no longer. Open your heart and 
mind to the new things I will do, and be willing to let go of whatever old 
things that I say you are finished with. Keep your eyes upon Me always.
   
Do not be afraid, if I was with you in the wilderness, how much more will 
I be with you as you battle to possess the new land I am sending you to? 
I have great plans to use you. The harvest is truly ripe and many are 
crying out to Me for My help. I seek to show My goodness to My creation 
through you, so that they would know Me and be saved. Even as a good son 
cares about what his father cares about, know this day that My heart cares 
about all My heartbroken, fearful, and needy children. I hear their cries, 
and I am sending you to help them. Do not be afraid to go forward for I 
am with you, and I will help you. Once again, prepare for Jericho, for 
the time for battle has come.
