Let Me hold you…

My beloved people, come into My arms. There is space for you all.
I long to embrace you.

My ones, nothing can take you out of My hands, for I protect you always.
The enemy will not succeed in his plan.

(Greater is He that is in you than is in the world)

When you go though the fire, I shall be with you. I will never depart from you, My beloved children. My beloved ones, rest in Me and feel My embrace.

Let Freedom Reign

My child, do not be afraid in this place of which you are now at. Though the night season may seem unending, and restless is your soul as you try to calm yourself in the darkness, with only the outward silence to lull you. It was I whom positioned you here for such a time as this, as a way for Me to answer your pleas and prayers.

Child though the enemy may use his feeble attempts and old trickeries, to fear and fool you. He is but a liar, and the father of lies when it comes to speaking his language. For you My beloved are right where I want and purposed you to be, in response to your cry for freedom. You see I have placed before you an open door which no one can shut, only this door leads into a fiery furnace.

Child you are a seeker of the truth, and before Me you have no other gods of which you worship. Therefore since it is the knowledge of the truth that sets one free, I am about to loose and burn away the bonds that bind you, as you draw near to Me, the all consuming Fire. For it is in the Fire My Son Jesus awaits to set you free, because whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

I speak these words to encourage and to give you peace, and to silent the inner voices which prevent you from entering into My rest; and receiving My Son’s testimony. Therefore rejoice, because I am proclaiming freedom to the captive regions of your soul, so that you might walk out singing praises.

My child, I am Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. Therefore fear not, as I have summoned you here by name, so that when you walk through this fire you will not be burned, and the flames will not set you ablaze. For if you will endure to the end, you will come forth as pure gold. Do not give in to the lies of that old serpent and the dragon, because where your heart is there am I also.

Child you have been loyal and have not denied My Name, therefore rest in the peace I give you and the smell of fire will not be upon you.

But instead everyone will know that you have been with Jesus.

Learn To Trust Me More

Child of Mine, I am leading you onto some new paths, and I am interacting with you in some ways that you are not accustomed to.

I am asking you to grow and mature in your relationship with Me, and I am asking you to learn to trust Me even more. I will be doing things you don’t expect and I will be surprising you in some of what I do in your life. It will seem, at times, that what I am doing is so different that you don’t have a yardstick to measure it against.

In those times, lean on My written word as your guide and standard; I have given it to you that you not be led astray. But at the same time, do not be dismayed as I begin to meet you in new ways. Do not fear as I begin to bring you into this spiritual puberty, and to cause new things to develop in your life and in your walk. Trust Me, and keep following Me-even if I lead you on a
different path than the one you are used to.

Remind yourself often of the things I have done in your life. Remind yourself of how I have been faithful to you in the past. Know with certainty that I will continue to be faithful, for that is My nature, and it will not change.

Trust Me and do not resist Me as I lead you onto paths that look different than what you expect them to be.

Lean Not on Your Own Understanding

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5

Trust in Me, My children, for I know the beginning from the end. I have determined all things and nothing has escaped My attention. I am leading you into the paths of truth and righteousness as I teach you My ways and My purposes. The foremost of these is that you learn to trust Me and surrender to Me, because I am faithful.

I will keep you as long as you live because of My love for you, and because I have a higher purpose for you. That purpose is to know Me and to know My ways. In Me alone you will find fulfillment and I will provide all that you need. Trust in Me, and lean not on your own understanding.
