                        Search For Me

Earnestly search for Me and diligently seek Me. I am in the desert. I am 
in the wilderness, I am in the meadow, and I am in unknown places. Come 
and find Me, come near to Me. Look, and you shall find Me everywhere. 

I have examined you while crossing the mountains and I have surveyed you 
when traveling the valleys of life, trials came and trials went. You have
not "passed" very many of My tests and you have "failed" many, but it does
not matter, My child. When it mattered most you reached out in faith, love 
and trust. You took My hand and walked with Me at your side. You looked 
to Me. Your focus and your motivation were centered on Me. That is what 
was important, and that is what you learned! 

All is well, even if enemies and hindrances abound. The storms on the 
horizon are no match for My hand, and neither are the rough waters that
you pass through. I have seen the waves of the sea crash over you and 
pound you; you stood your ground and were not washed away. Go walk on 
the water, set your course and head into the storm, resist the enemy and
he shall flee. 

I am in control! Remember, My child, I am all-knowing, all-seeing, and 
all-powerful. I still the wind and quiet the seas; I lay ambushes for 
those who oppose Me. Those who contradict My commands will scatter and 
fall. Walk by faith and believe, My child. You have walked the valley of 
death and escaped by My hand, your dry bones shall rise up with new breath 
and new life. 

Everything unclean has been burned away by the deserts' sun. You left all 
your bondages and baggage behind when you left Egypt and climbed My holy 
mountain. All fear has vanished because you wandered in the wilderness. 
The valleys could not hedge you in, the mountains could not close you in, 
and the desert could not swallow you up. You have gained skills and gifts; 
you have conquered all survival techniques. I have sifted, sorted and 
blown the chaff away. I have renewed and refreshed you; you are washed 
by the blood and you have nothing to fear. 

Come through the wilderness to My holy mountain, learn and understand My 
instruction and discipline. When I tremble and shake the mountains of 
your life, all idols and walls will crumble and fall down, aligning your 
foundation for holiness forever and ever. When I am on the move, all the 
earth quakes and Heaven pours down. My mighty presence will be made known 
to all mankind. I will make you strong and mighty.

Let all men assemble and see the wonders of My hands. Come to My holy 
mountain, My child, I send forth My truth and My light. Come to My 
mountain and walk in My desert path and learn My valley ways. 

My child. Open your eyes. Look, search, seek and find Me in the most 
unlikely places. Hunt and pursue Me in the hidden places.
