                Develop That Secret Place

Be sure, My child, that I am doing a deep work in you of My Spirit and
grace I am calling you to a higher plane of revelation concerning My
Word and of My will in these latter days. I am preparing you to be able
to come apart from the cares of the world, and even of its enticements,
and to be able to just come before Me in the Spirit of truth and
holiness, and just bask in My presence.

Your heart is to know Me to the fullest, but this will take time.
Relationship is not an overnight thing, but a process of opening up to
one another in trust and honesty, so that each one can truly reveal that
which is of their deepest soul. I truly want to open up to you, and
reveal that which is of My deepest part of My heart. I know that I can
trust you, because I will pour out My wisdom upon you. I will
engrave upon your heart that which I have need for you to travail for,
and to stand in the gap for. Yes, I will use you mightily, but you must
always yield to Me in obedience no matter what the price or what man may
say. Be bold and be strong for I am with you, and I will accomplish
through you My mission that I've called you to.

My people are so caught up with the cares and distractions of the world
that they don't have the time or desire to come away from it all and just
be with Me. And this hurts Me deeply not only because I lack their
fellowship, but because they aren't being prepared for the coming
holocaust upon this earth. They need the strength of My Spirit to be
able to stand. They need to be prepared for it by having spent much time
before Me where it has become a way of life for them, to where it has
become a delight and a thing to look forward to, to be able to spend time
with Me.

Much is going to happen soon that if you haven't developed that "secret
place" within your heart, that place that you can withdraw into at any
time, that all that is around you will overcome you and overwhelm you
with fear , frustration, and defeat. So, do your part to encourage others
to prepare by coming apart from the world and to draw into My presence.
I need to be the number one focus of your lives, that which you live
for, to worship Me and to serve Me in accomplishing My will and not
your own.

I said if you would seek My face and My righteousness, all these things
will be added unto you. All the world strives for will be your blessing
if you only obey. Do your part to stand for truth, righteousness and
integrity.  Cast down and break covenant with all that is of the evil
one.  Laugh not and entertain not yourselves with that which grieves
Me--but feed on that which is pure and wholesome, of good report, is
of virtue which is Mine, and that which edifies yourself and others.
Lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me,
and I will direct your paths.

Those who wait upon Me will find that I renew their strength. They will 
mount up as eagles. They shall run and not get weary, they shall walk and 
not faint.  Always seek Me, and I will show you how to wait--to be still,
and to know that I am God, and that I am faithful to preserve you, to
keep you, and to make you strong so you can stand.

Be bold, and know that I am God, and that I am with you always. You can
never be defeated because My favor is upon you. Just know I back you
up every step of the way. If ever anyone comes against you, they are
coming against Me, and I will be your defense. Just keep your heart
right before God and man, and My favor will be upon you always, and
you also will receive the favor of men.

Now, be blessed, and I will be your strength this day and always, and
My love will flow through you to repel evil and to draw in those lost.
Be blessed and be in peace.
