                                Stretch!


Stretch, My children. Stretch. Stretch past your limitations. Stretch 
past your expectations. Stretch beyond what you think you can handle. 
Stretch forth and reach out to grab My hand. Stretch and reach to 
touch the hem of My garment. Be like the woman with the issue of 
blood who knew if she could just touch the hem of My garment would be 
healed. Are you desperate for Me? Are you desperate enough to stretch 
beyond what you know and feel? Stretch past the carnal and reach out 
for the eternal.

Now is the time for absolute obedience and I am calling you to 
stretch. I am stretching your faith. I have called you to noble 
purposes, but you must be willing to go through the fire to be 
refined. Child, your breakthrough is on the horizon. I have told you 
that it is coming. I am not a man that I should lie. Now is the time 
to stretch. Now is the time to hatch. You have been prepared in your 
shell long enough. Now is the time that you must choose to 
breakthrough the lies and the fear that are still hindering you. 
Stretch past it. Reach out to Me and breakthrough. Breakthrough to 
the other side. There is a whole new world that awaits you. A world 
of beauty. A world of faith. A world that goes way beyond your 
imagination and  your expectations. Use your faith and  your trust in 
Me to break out of your shell. I am always with you. I have not 
forgotten you or the promises that I have made to you. But you must 
make the choice to breakthrough and stretch your faith beyond your 
own limitations. I have put no limitations on you. You have put them 
on yourself. Press on through and see what glory awaits you on the 
other side.
