Come To Me

GET OUT OF THE SHELTER

Today I AM calling My children out of their current seasons into a new one. As with all seasons and times, this new season will also pass. It will not linger to accommodate those who fear to step out boldly into it. I AM calling you out of the season you have taken comfort and shelter in. It is time to move out and follow Me into the next (apparently disturbing) season.

GO OUT INTO THE STORM

Do not be discouraged by the turbulent appearance of the season. With the fullness of the Kingdom rapidly approaching, much activity is taking place in the spiritual realm and this will manifest also in the physical realm.

I AM calling you out of dry comfort and shelter into the rain storm. In the physical realm, donning your raincoat and umbrella when you leave the comfort and shelter of your home, is natural. However in the spiritual you must ignore the flesh's demand for security and come boldly out into the rain of My Presence.

Initially hard rain will come down to wash away the shell formed by unforgiven hurts, unrepented sin and willful disobedience. Then I will pour down the soft, soaking rain to soften the spirit to receive My deeply penetrating mist and dew. Can you see that this is a process that will extend over the duration of this season? Can you see that this is no quick-fix to your problems, but that it is a slow lingering in My Presence?

I AM calling. I AM waiting to receive your humble and repented heart. Your quick visits to the Throne Room and weekly rituals do not satisfy Me. I want to do so much more for and in you, but you do not linger in My Presence long enough for Me to work deeply enough. I want to penetrate, like soaking mist, deep within your spirit. This is the season for soaking up My presence.

WHY?

I AM with you always, and I will never leave you nor turn My Face from you. However, this season is an opportunity I AM giving you to seek and find My Face. Seek My Face intently and aggressively and you will find Me. You will also find freedom from fear and anxiety, strength of soul, guidance and satisfaction, wisdom and understanding, deliverance from harm, good gifts, fullness of joy, and peace.

All this, in superior quality and quantity, (including Myself) I will pour into the cisterns of your spirit - cisterns We can repair only if you soak in My Presence.

COMING SIEGE

The characteristics of this season will serve to prepare you. For those who are not prepared will be like a city under siege in the coming seasons. They will have insufficient protection, food and water to hold out during the siege.

However, those who come to soak in My Presence intently and in particular in this season will be as a fortified city will full store houses and water cisterns overflowing into deep pools.

To those who have already learned to soak in My presence I say come deeper. You can never say that you've had enough. Do you not remember that you have no measure by which to measure Me - that I AM Who I AM?

COME

I AM calling. I AM waiting to soak you in My glory and goodness. Come to Me just as you are. Come laughing, come crying, come running, come crawling but come: for My loving arms are waiting to receive you. Come.
