Be still and know that He is God
April 25, 2000
In all the things that I have seen and in all the things I have done, there is none like My Lord.
He is set above the heavens and I am in the earth.
How far above me are His thoughts
and more than the grains of sands His ways.
Yet He speaks to me
and desires that I hear Him
How blessed am I that My Lord should hearken to me
and care for me in this way?
Feeble feet, you do not know where to walk.
Wretched hands you know not what you hold.
Mouth so weak, you know not what to say
When the Lord comes to you this way.
Can you not see
Have you not heard
His ways are beyond you
You cannot know them
Yet if you tarry a while
Before Him Who is God
Shall He not bend to your ear
and speak the unspeakable to you?
Shall He not deign to lower Himself that you become higher in His eyes?
My child this is what the Lord has for you.
A Hand to guide you
A Spirit to sustain you
A Heart to love you
A Life to give you.
Only wait.
Be still and know that He is God.
Alleluia. Alleluia.
Preface
1. Prayer in the Spirit
August 30, 1995
Lord, I wake early these few days,
and turn and toss in a half-sleep,
straining to hear You.
Or is it You Who is calling to me in my sleep?
Memorised verses from Your Word are on my lips,
yet I strain to say them all through with difficulty.
And I wake with a frown, a yearning,
the agitated feeling of a message not completely received.
And in my prayer I yearn for You to speak to me,
to direct my steps.
And yet I know You do;
I know You are ever there beside me.
Like Thomas, I long to hear You
and to stand before You as he did;
I long so much that I feel the surge of tears
behind my eyes.
Come, Lord Jesus, come.
And yet there is so much to do;
So many that You want to come to You;
So many that do not know You.
Help me to speak Your Word to them.
Show Me the way to show them that You are
the Way,
the Truth,
and the Life.
Come, Holy Spirit, come;
Come, Counsellor, come;
Come, Helper, come.
2. A willing and contrite heart
January 28, 1996
All these things will come to pass;
what I say in your ear is for you and will come to be.
Do you not perceive it? The time will come;
do not be afraid; I am ever with you.
Surely you can put aside
your human understanding,
this time,
and see My work as it is being done.
This is My work. None other can do it.
Watch and see.
Your feet will be placed where I have already placed them;
Your heart will desire what I have already placed there;
your mouth will speak words I have already placed there.
This is the time in which you will learn from Me.
Do not worry where and when you will place your feet.
It is already done, and My heart is full of love for you.
Your desire to do My Will and your trust in Me pleases Me.
Only this I ask: that you continue to come to this place;
that you continue to set yourself before Me.
A willing and contrite heart, this is what I desire.
All the rest is Mine to do.
Amen.
3. Do not be deceived
January 30, 1996
My child, even Satan must acknowledge Me.
Even more than you.
For you are being judged.
He has been judged, and found guilty.
And so it is that angels who have fallen must acknowledge Me.
Their time has passed. They must acknowledge Me,
for I am Lord.
Man is choosing now, for he is free.
A time will come when he will not be able to choose,
for the choice will be made and judgement passed.
Then man too, will say “Jesus Christ is Lord”,
because it will be known as Truth to all.
When they speak who walk on this earth parading as children of the light, they will say “Jesus is Lord”, for they are bound and they know this to be true. Do not be deceived. Walk always with My Spirit upon you and turn to Me always, lest you too be deceived.
It is not judgement to be cautious and wary. It is Wisdom. These words, “mutilators of the flesh”, “wolves in sheep’s clothing”, “many will come in My Name”, are for your guidance and protection. Heed these words lest you too be turned upon and torn to shreds. Be as wise as a serpent, and as innocent as a dove.
I am ever before you and will guide you. Do not concern yourself with these things and turn only to Me.
4. Freedom and justice shall reign
February 7, 1996
My child, you are too hard on yourself. This is not from Me. I see your heart. I know your heart. For it is I Who have placed this heart in You. It is I Who was there at the beginning. You do not know of what you are made. But I know. For I was there when you were formed in the womb.
Do not grieve. You shall reign with Me in love and justice. Do not fear these words. They are not words of this world. They are My words and in My Understanding shall they come to be. Freedom and justice shall reign.
Come to Me all you who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest. None shall thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. None shall be persecuted, because I shall be Lord, acknowledged by all.
Hold My hand. It is I Who lead you. Take these things that I show you, and hold them in your heart. This is all that I ask: That you come before Me. Do not burden yourself with other things. They are not of Me.
This time is for your healing. This time is to prepare you. Come always ready to be transformed. When I am near, you become part of Me. There is no other way.
This Love you cannot have on your own. Only in My Presence is this Love possible. Unconditional Love. This is how I love you. And you, alive in Me, are available to Me. I touch you and you are made whole. Do you not perceive it? All that you are will become encompassed in this all-consuming Love, and from you the overflow will come. You cannot be filled with this Love. It must overflow.
And this will be a sign to you. You shall forgive in My Name. You shall walk in My Name. You shall talk in My Name. Words I give you in the night watches, you will speak to the mountains. And you will say to this mountain: “Move”, and it shall be moved, and you will say to this sickness “You are no more”, and it shall be gone.
Many false prophets will come in My name. Turn to Me at all times, for I cannot be false, and you shall know the Truth and not be deceived. All these things shall come to pass. I the Lord have spoken.
I am well pleased My child. Be still at all times. For you will not have to move. These things shall come to pass. It is in place and will continue to unfold. Know this: You are Mine and none other shall direct this. This is My work, and no one shall move Me from My path. You shall be where I have placed your feet. Your heart shall move where I have directed you. This will be a sign to you: All these things shall come to be.
Amen and Amen.
5. Come before Me
February 14, 1996
My child, be ever before Me. Be Mine. Let My words flow to your heart. Be Mine.
There are many in this world who suffer and I would heal them. Come before Me always. There is much work to be done. In this time I prepare you. Do you not perceive it? My hand is upon you and your heart is Mine. In these days, I will teach you what you need to know. I am well pleased. Your heart is ever before Me and Wisdom shall be yours.
They work hard to know Me who know Me not. They work hard to help Me who help Me not. They try hard to hear Me who hear Me not. This is My Will. This is My desire. Come before Me and be still. Come before Me and be Mine. Then, hearing Me, they shall work. Seeing Me, they shall heal. This alone I need: That they should come before Me and be still. I am the Lord and they do My work. I am the Lord and they see things that are not. I am the Lord and they hear things I do not say. Come before Me. Be still. That is My Will. I am Lord.
These are words to your comfort. Somehow to attain knowledge of Me that will bring you closer, is a blessing. The hurt is in Love and I am pleased. Be Mine and I will take you by the hand and lead you to new places. Places of love and forgiveness. Places of joy and healing.
I have these things for all men. My hands are held out to them. They only need to come, to accept what is already theirs. Gifts: salvation, freedom, healing, joy, peace, love. Freely they flow from My hand.
Yes, My child, to know Me is to be in fellowship, and to know the burdens of My heart: To accept them as they become your own. The hurt is in the Love. The healing is in the desire to love. Be mine. This I ask: Come before Me and be still. Your heart is ever Mine and I will fill it from My hand.
Yes, you shall become like me in My suffering, for Love shall be the force within. This Love is in knowing Me. Only in knowing Me can this Love come to be. Love for all men regardless of human understanding: Unconditional Love.
Love conquers all. And from this Love shall come obedience, the desire to do My Will. Wait and see. This has been set forth for you. My hand is in this and shall bring it to fruition.
Only this I ask: Come before Me.
6. My heart is within you
March 16, 1996
My Love abounds. It knows no limit. So it is with you. When you love through Me, your love abounding knows no limits.
My heart is within you. Let the flame of My love enkindle you and bring you to My everlasting flame. My heart is within you.
Let not the words of man deter you. My voice is in your ear. My hand is upon you. My words are in your mouth. Never have I seen a heart to eager to please Me, so full of love for Me. Let My Love which is in you overwhelm you, for you are Mine and none other’s.
Your very life is in My hand. See, do you not perceive it? My hand moves over you in ways you cannot fathom. Believe in Me. Trust in Me. Your feet will not falter for it is I Who place them. It is I Who direct your life and no other.
Do not look through human eyes at this thing of God. No man can bring this to pass. And yet it shall be. And if no man can bring it to pass and it comes to be, can we say that it is the work of God? What shall men say? They shall say that this thing has come to be. There shall be no dancing and praising. What is man to Me that I should move from My task? I wait not for the praise of men for they praise each other. I do not work for glory for glory is Mine. I do not work for praise for praise is Mine. I do not wait for men to raise their hands, for they cannot even do this without Me.
My Glory is in Me and I need no man to place it there. Yet man will come. Man will praise Me. Man will glorify Me. For he is of Me and in Me and within Me.
Fear not. This shall come to be. I am mindful that man is not mindful of Me and yet: This shall come to be as I have ordained it. No one shall move Me from this work.
I am Lord, Redeemer, Creator, Life. All things are of Me and from My own hand have I given thee.
7. I will carry you
February 22, 1996
My children are hurting and I would heal them. But I cannot heal what is not acknowledged as sick.
If your foot hurts and you do not acknowledge it, you will keep walking until you limp. And then, limping, you will continue until you need to sit. Then, stilled, you will acknowledge your need and begin to heal.
But then you will rise and continue on your way, your foot still sore. And the soreness will fester ‘til you lose your foot.
But if you come to Me and lean on Me, I will carry you, and you will limp not. And I will carry you, and you will walk, and I will carry you and you will run and I will carry you and you will soar. Eagles do not strain to fly and yet they soar. Men strain to fly and do not walk.
Do not go in your own strength. It is folly. It is waste. If I do not put My hand to the work, it is of no consequence.
Come before Me: learn, walk, soar.
Many times have I heard this: I try so hard; this is too hard.
It need not be so. Rest in Me.
8. I am ever with you
August 23, 1996
Write these things, My child.
Know this: I am ever with you. Though you perceive Me not, I am with you. You cannot sense these things, because you are human and created by My Hand. You are not like Me. Do you not perceive this? You are of Me, and yet there is a vast difference between you and I. This is as it should be. My creatures cannot live apart from Me, for My Hand holds them in place. There is a vast difference between you and I. Do not look to these things with your humanness, but put this aside.
I reveal Myself. This does not depend on your effort. This is as it should be. I AM THAT I AM. In this you subsist. For without Me, you fall. I am Lord of all that is, seen and unseen. Can you understand these things? I think not. This is as it should be. I am Lord and sovereign ruler of all. Come unto Me. This is all I ask. A willing heart. And I shall do the rest.
9. They know My Voice
September 1, 1996
Do you not perceive My Presence? In all that you do, I am there. Be not afraid when others oppose you. The time will come when all these things shall come to pass. Rest in Me and know that I am with you always. Though they know Me not, I am with them. My Spirit is upon them and they are called. When they hear My voice they shall come forth. All is forgiven. I am Lord and My Will is that all shall be sons, and forgiven. Be what you may, this shall be so. And all will know the Glory of My Name.
Come forth from all the corners of the earth and know Me, says the Lord. And they shall come forth, for they shall hear My Voice. And they know My Voice, for it is I Who have put this in their hearts.
Speak and do not be afraid.
10. Gifts for the people
December 15, 1996
This is the cloak I have put upon you. The colours are many, for they are all the people. Yours is to wear the cloak. Many shall come against you, for they shall say, ‘how came she to this place?’ And the grief in their hearts shall make them turn against you. But fear not. I in My Glory am with you. This is My work and none shall move Me from the task at hand.
You too, shall be raised up, and shall lead this people to a new place. Do not fear the words on their lips. They are a profanity to Me as they are, and none shall come forth lest I call them. Their name shall be changed from profanity to Righteousness. I the Lord have spoken.
You then, take hold of Me and do not let Me go. I have placed My cord and belt upon you and none can change what the Lord has done. Many shall try to come against this work, but they cannot. Remember the days of old. Did you not come forth to where I said you should be?
When I speak, the mountains quake and fall into the sea. So too, when I speak they shall fall to their knees before Me and when then they rise, they shall be led to a new place, and a small child shall lead them.
See the grass as it is green. So too, your talents are fresh. Yet they are sown in the world and so they do not give fruit. For what can give fruit when sown in the world? Yet in My hand and for My Glory, those who sow in Me shall bring forth fruit. And the Lord of the Harvest shall reap what is sown. The gifts I give My people are for My Glory. Yet when they stay in the world and sow in the world, their gifts are not of Me, the fruit are not of Me.
To sow is this: Take the gifts that I have given into your hand and bring them to the Lord of the Harvest. Here you shall receive instruction on how to sow your gift. And then go forth in My Name that the fruit would be to My Glory. If you take the gifts from My hand and go into the world with no thought of Me, how can I bring forth fruit from what I have not sown? Sow in My Name that you shall reap in My Name.
11. Be held in place by Me
December 29, 1996
In such things do not despair. For those who partake of that which is not of Me, shall come to know the truth. I am He Who gives life. There is no other way.
The things of this world shall pass away, but My words shall never pass. They stand forever. Yea, though you hear things of old being repeated in this day, know this: My heart is in the heart of man. There is no other way. Should man depend on his own heart, when My Heart is there? I think not.
Yet man follows his own will and this is to his destruction. Let all come to Me and know that I am Lord. There is no other way. The way of the world is futile, for it is held in place by the hand of man. And the hand of man does not endure. And when the hand of man that does not endure falls - as it must - so too will all that is held in place by the hand of man.
Be held in place by Me, that you do not fall. All these things shall pass. I alone endure forever. So too shall those who are held in place by My hand, which does not fall.
12. All things come of Me
January 10, 1997
Do you think I would put something before you that has no purpose? All these things are for a purpose. Yet here I am to show you the reason for these things.
All men come of Me. Is it not wise then to assume that all should be brought to Me, whether good or bad? If all things are of Me, then surely all things must be brought to My attention.
This then is the meaning of these things: Even this man (Paul of Tarsus) who was ill, knew where his cleansing would be. So too, when you come before Me, know where all is. All is in Me. I wait for you to come. Those who do not come do not receive, for how can they receive from My Hand that which they do not ask for? Do you think I respond where I am not invited? Yet I am Lord, even of this. For it is My hand alone that moves. I have decreed this since the beginning. And so if man invites me not, what is this to Me? I am Lord. It is My desire to work in the hearts of men. If man does not move according to My Holy Will, what is that to Me? Do the stars fall because man has not obeyed? Does the moon change its colour and move to another place? Does the sun cease to shine? So too are My ways affected by the will of man. I am Lord. Even man cannot change this. Go to your day, My child. I will bless you abundantly.
13. I am the One Who saves
February 11, 1997
Why do you concern yourself with these things? This is My work and I would do it. Those who concern themselves with these things burden themselves for naught.
I am the One Who saves. Is it not to Me then to decide which way I am to move this one and that? Am I not He Who holds the stars in place? Is it not to Me to hold the very life of a man in My hand? Is it not to Me to take that life with Me if I please? Why then do you concern yourself with these things?
I have placed My Spirit upon you, and I have done the same for your children and their children. Is it not to Me to do so, as I am the One Who has placed them in these places? Come now that you may see the fruit of My hand that has been prepared since the beginning. Look not with your eyes but with your heart. The eye of man deceives yet the heart that is in Me shall see the fruit of My hand as I see it. Look not through your eyes but through Mine.
All is Mine to take up or to lay down. So it is with the hearts of men. I move to My own Will. Look not to these things with the eyes of man. See, before a thing is complete, I make it known to you. Before a word is spoken, I place it in your ear.
So too, the life of man is Mine to direct. Shall I call? Shall I move? It is to Me to decide. So too you shall not dwell on these things, for it is of no use to try to determine the mind of God. Go to your day and think not on these things, for they profit you not. Think rather of My Love for you and for all you touch and see, and know that I direct your steps.
Can that which is clean go near to that which is not and return to Me clean? I tell you: All that you touch is made clean, for you are in Me and I am in you. How then can I move to that which is not clean and remain clean? I tell you: My Spirit burns to all which is not of Me, and when I move in that place I cannot but leave My Presence there. And where I touch, all that is not of Me burns, and what is left is cleansed. I am the Lord.
14. My hand is ever upon you
February 13, 1997
Though you look not to move, you do move, for My hand is ever upon you, and I am always working. Look not at these things with your human eyes lest you be deceived. Look to these things with your heart, the heart I have placed within you, for in this way shall you see the Glory of My hand and the work that is being done.
I am He Who moves the very stars. I am He Who holds the ocean in place. Shall I not hold the heart of a child in place to lead a nation? My child, do not look to these things with the eyes of your human understanding. Remember the things I have shown you. Do these things. Put into action the words I have placed in your heart. Words of hope and promise; words to dispel fear; words of power and understanding.
Believe, My child. that is all you are to do. These doubts do not do you any good.
Come to Me at all times and bring these things into My hand: doubt, fear, hopelessness, judgement. These things are not of Me. The evil one would burden you. The only burden I would have you carry is Light. Light to the world. This is Me Who is in you and this is what you are to do.
15. Be in Me always
February 14, 1997
Come now, eat, drink. This is My invitation to all who hunger and thirst.
You then be there when they come. For you are the salt. When they come forth they need to see the way. I am the Way. You are in Me, and so they taste a touch of My hand through you. Be in me always that you bring this to others. Those who are not in Me cannot manifest Me to others, for I am not there. When they come they shall see you for you are in Me. Never doubt. Even in this shall you know the work of My hand. Tell them this: The Lord has need of you for you are the taste of life on this earth. This is for all generations that man has been given life in Me: That all who come to Me shall see the fruit of My hand. You are the salt of the earth for without you the earth would cease to be. Just as a plant needs water and food for growth so too the earth needs to have nutrients, else the plant withers and dies. You then provide this for the people of the earth, for without this they shall perish. I say come, eat, and drink, you who are hungry and thirst. Yet know this: I am the salt of the earth. Life is in Me and you who are in Me shall bring this life to the earth. In a world that is hungry and thirsty, you bring life. In a world that is sad and hopeless, you bring joy. In a world that is full of loss and despair, you bring hope. You are the salt of the earth and without you the earth will perish for how can they live who have not life? You then, go to them and tell them: You are the taste of heaven to those who are perishing. Be in Me that they may live.
16. There is no darkness in Me
February 17, 1997
Write these things, My child.
Whenever you hear My Word from the lips of another, you are to pray. For I speak not through all men and I would not have you hear that which is not of Me. Am I evil? Have I done wrong in the eyes of men? I think not. It is not to me to defend Myself, for I am Lord. But it is of Me to correct your way of thinking. Nothing I do is in darkness. Everything is in the light of day. Yet know this. Even in the light of day do men dwell in darkness. When I say to you ‘Come’ - I call. When I say to you ‘Move’ - I direct. Do you think I shall tell you to move in the darkness? There is no darkness in Me. If then, there is no darkness in Me, how can I tell you to move in the darkness? In Me there is only light. And all that is not of Me when it comes near to Me, is brought into the light. So too your deeds, which seem to be of the light, can be touched by the darkness. This is not of Me, and so when you come to Me, I in My light will bring light to that which is concealed. And those things that are not clear shall become clear to you. My child, when you hear My Word from the mouth of another, come to Me. If there is a word not from Me, I will show you, for My light will fall upon it.
17. The knowledge of God
February 23, 1997
Write these words, My child.
In all these things, know that I am present. My Word stands forever. Do not be concerned about these things. I am He Who directs this work. In all these things I am Lord. So too shall these come forth. It is in the heart that I place these things. The knowledge of God is not what you hear. The knowledge of God is My Presence in you. You do not need to hear Me for Me to know you. Yet shall I make Myself known to them. The time is right. I come near yet they hear Me not. I have knowledge of them yet they know Me not. Tell them this: The knowledge of God is not in what you hear. I know you and I am well pleased. Child of mine, you have chosen right. In My time, I shall make Myself known to you in the ways of your life: You shall hear My voice; you shall know the thoughts of My heart; you shall feel My hand upon you. Yet in all these things, know this: The knowledge of God is not what you hear or what you know. The knowledge of God is My Presence within you. The knowledge of God is My Love of you that fills you to overflowing. Come that you may hear the sound of My voice. For I am there, and you know Me not. Yet how can man fully know Me? He cannot, for it was like this in the beginning, and the knowledge was too great for him. In all these things, know that I am present. In all these things, know that I direct this work. In all these things know that I am Lord. I in My Glory shall make known to you the things of God. I in My Glory shall be near and you shall hear the sound of My voice in your ear. Yet know this: The knowledge of God is not in what you hear. The knowledge of God is in My Presence within you. I in My Glory am within you, and you shall come to the knowledge of My Presence within you. For how can I be near and you shall not know it? I tell you these things for the time comes when you shall hear the sound of My voice. Yet know this: It is for My Glory that you move into these places in Me. It is for My Glory that you hear the words I shall say to you. It is for My Glory that all men come to the knowledge of the Lord. Look! Your loved ones are not always with you, yet you know them. Their voice is not always in your ear, yet you know them. So it is with Me. My voice is not in your ear, yet you know Me. That you shall know the Glory of the Lord: All these things shall come to pass. Yet know this: My voice in your ear is not the sign you need to know that I am near.
18. Come to me at all times
February 21, 1997
Write these words, My child.
Come to Me at all times. These things are not for you to discern alone. For you cannot. I alone in My Glory can make these things clear to you. If you, being human, see things with eyes of flesh, how can you know the things of God? I alone in My Glory can make these things known to you. For I am the Lord. If then these words come from Me, then I am the One to make things clear to you. You in your humanity cannot see this. Man has wandered far from the path laid out for him since the beginning of time. So now I make clear the path. It is only I who can make clear this path for I am the Creator. Come, eat, drink. I call to all nations. Yet they would drink of their own wine. Yet they would eat of their own meat. I am the One Who can provide all that is needed. There is no one else. Come, eat, drink! But beware of the snares of men. They would have you drink their own concoctions and not the work of the Lord. I am He Who gives light to the world. Yet they have chosen darkness. Yet they have chosen evil. Come, eat, drink! That you may be satisfied. For the things of the world leave much to be desired and your thirst will not be quenched and you will yet hunger.
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, “Go, throw yourself into the sea,” and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
19. I bring hope and promise
February 23, 1997
I kept hearing after my prayer time: Shall what is formed say to He Who forms: I cannot hear you? Yet man calls Me forth. I am the Lord. Shall I come when man calls Me forth? How do you know that I have formed the ear?…how do you know that I form not the hand?
In all of these things, know that I am Lord. In your tiredness and fatigue, do not doubt.
When the sea is calm, the ship appears not to move. Yet it moves, for the waves are never still. So too you move, though you feel not to move. Man cannot always perceive Me, yet I am there. Do you in your doubt think that if you appear not to move, that I am no longer there? Do not doubt.
And these things that burden you, cast them aside! They are not of Me. I bring hope and promise to a people who have wandered far from Me. I do not bring condemnation or criticism. My heart which is in you knows this and this is why there is discomfort in you when you sense these things.
Is there discomfort? Is there concern? Is there unhappiness? Then cast these things aside, for I bring peace and comfort, joy and reconciliation, harmony and all that you need for life in Me.
My child, go to your day. The evil one would burden you. Yet know this: None can come against the work of My hand. You are ever before Me. Do not move to the left or to the right. Yet know this: You who are chosen by My hand from the beginning shall move as I direct for this is the work for a nation and none shall move Me from My appointed task.
Come to me at all times that you shall know the peace that passes all understanding. For in this shall you prosper. For in this shall this work be brought to completion. For in this shall a nation be brought to their knees in adoration of He Who has formed the very stars. For in this shall all men be brought to the knowledge of Me.
And a small child shall lead them. And this is to My Glory.
20. The overflow
February 24, 1997
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Matthew 14:20
Write these words, My child.
Do not dwell on these things. This is not the issue – how many were left over. But that there was an overflow. All through My Word you will find this overflow. This is the work of the Spirit. So too in the Churches, the overflow shall be the work of the Spirit. Do they move? They are not yet filled to overflowing. Do they speak? They are not yet filled to overflowing. Do you feel overwhelmed by My Presence at times? You are filled to overflowing. When man’s heart is filled with himself, what comes forth is from his own heart and is evident in the fruit. Out of the evil of men’s hearts comes malice and discord. Yet when you are filled with Me, the words that come forth are touched by My Presence. And so they come forth in grace, in love, in healing, in joy. How can one who is filled with Me bring for the fruit that is not of Me? I tell you that one shall bring forth fruit everlasting for I am eternal and My Love is forever. You then, do not be concerned with the number of baskets that overflow. Be concerned that there is an overflow. For if there is not, then My Presence is sorely lacking. Come each of you. Eat. Drink. This is to My Glory. And when you have eaten and are full, then you will turn to Me in thanksgiving. Then shall you be filled to overflowing, and the overflow is what will feed the multitudes, that you not take this Glory into yourselves. The overflow is from My own hand and there is no one who can take the Glory that is Mine. Come, eat, drink, be filled. That I may pour My Spirit into you that you be prepared, and from the overflow shall I move upon this earth, Myself.
This I to My Glory: That one so small shall be filled with My Glory and go forth in My Name to the Glory of My Name.
This then is the meaning of these things: The overflow is what fills men’s hearts, and I in My Glory fill these to overflowing. That I may go forth in healing and in love to My people who have need of Me. I am the Lord. I am the overflow. I am the Glory of all nations. I am the Lord of all.
21. My Heart is what is needed
February 28, 1997
Seek the Lord while he may be found;
Call on him while he is near.
Isaiah 55:6
Write these words, My child.
Do not be swayed by the ways of man. My way is the one you are to follow. A reed is blown this way and that yet it can bend to the wind that comes against it. Even in this sad state I am there. Stand firm, for what comes against you is from the evil one who would burden you. My Word stands forever. The words of man are like dust to Me. They fall and scatter in the wind to no meaning. When you open your mouth I shall fill it with My Words and none can come against these things. What care I that man is not of one mind in the work that I do? This has never been so and shall be like this for man is consumed with his own desire. How can that which is filled be filled? Come to Me. Empty yourself of vain praises and desires that I may fill you with Mine. Of My hand comes glory and honour not of this world. Of My hand comes the things that are foolish to men. Of My hand comes that which gives life everlasting. Come that you may be filled with that which gives life evermore. That your fruit be of Me and that the day bring glory. Those who follow their own heart shall reap the benefits of that heart. And that heart is callused and sore and the fruit will have no value. To the eye the world seems a hard place. To the heart the life of man is a fleeting thing. Yet know this: I shall raise him up who loves Me. I shall raise him up who calls on My Name. I shall raise him up forevermore who loves Me and follows the desires of My heart. For from My heart flows the Love of humanity and Life evermore. Glad will be the heart that is in Me for it shall endure and those who follow their own way shall come to naught. For there is nothing that is everlasting that can come forth from the heart of man. My heart is what is needed. My heart is where man would desire to be. Call on Me while I may be found. For in the light of day man’s deeds shall be make known. And I am light even in the darkest night. Come to Me while I may be found. Dwell not in the darkness but let the light of My Love shine forevermore, that your deeds be known to man who lives in darkness. That he may come to know the heart of Him Who calls him to Life evermore.
Thanks be to God.
22. Come
February 28, 1997
The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
John 12:25
Write these words, My child.
Do not again sway to the right and the left. I have spoken and there is no more to be said. To do this would be to say again the words you have already heard. My Word does not fall. My Word stands forever. Do you think I need the hand of man to put in place that which is already done? I tell you, many shall try to do this, but they shall fail, for who can do the work of the Lord? I alone, for I alone am Lord. If you in your humanity see not the things of God, what is that to Me? I am Lord, and I need not the hand of man to affirm Me in My work. Man, yet, needs Me to affirm him in his work, for the work is hard and so I shall affirm you in ways seen and in ways unseen. If this one desires not to do My Will, what is that to Me? I shall bring another forward in her place? So too, it is with you. I desire you to come forth and so you come forth. A flower still on the vine shall bring forth fruit but a flower that has fallen to the ground shall die to itself. Come that you may hear the words of My heart. Come that you shall be strengthened in all of your ways. Come that My people shall hear My voice. Come that My people shall take you by the hand for you know the way. I have placed this on your heart and when I speak so too shall you move to obey Me. My child, rich are those who come after Me, for they have lost themselves to the world and found eternal life. I have set this upon you and it shall be. For My Kingdom is everlasting and all that I say and do endures forevermore.
23. I abandon you not
March 1, 1997
If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble in safe country,
How will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?
Jeremiah 12:5
Write these words, My child.
So too you shall see the destruction of this church. For this people has become callused and hard of heart. They have wanted to know the way of the Lord and have listened to the prophets they desired. My words come not from the lips of all men. There are those who follow the desires of their own heat. And I have granted them this: That they should believe the desires of their own heart. Yet know this: A sword shall come against them and they shall fall, for who can withstand the Word of the Lord? My hand will raise up an new army and this one shall lead them. You then, hear My words. How can you stand in battle when you cannot stand in peace? Trust Me for this is My work and the work of My hands. If you, then, would fall in peace, woe to you in times of trouble. Trust in me with all your heart, for these things are needed to prepare you for what is ahead. Rejoice in this: I am near in peace and in strife; I am near in joy and in sorrow; I am near your heart and the hearts of those who would hear Me. Yearn not for an easy answer. Yearn for this: My Presence in the midst of you. This is the way: I have made know to you the desires of My heart; I have made known to you the way; I have not deceived you, for the way is not an easy one. Yet this I tell you: You shall not walk alone; you shall not walk to a place you have not seen. The desire of My heart is clear: I shall not abandon you; you shall know the way. Do you think I expect you to work where I have not prepared your heart? Even the people of the world prepare those for the task at hand. I am not a heartless God. I abandon you not to the task. Yet know this: the road is not an easy one. If there is sadness, rejoice! If there is dismay, be glad! If there is sorrow, take heart! I abandon you not. How can you walk in the high places if you have not endured the climb to those places? I am not a hard God. This is My Will: That you walk with Me in the path I have set forth. This is to My Glory: That one so small shall lead My people to a new place. Yet know this: the road is not easy, yet I walk beside you. For the time is right and My people have need of Me. You shall not walk where you have not tread before. Take glory in this time, for you have need of it. It will be a new thing when you come forth, yet you shall know the way, for you will have walked before in the same path. I am ever with you, My child.
24. My work is ever before Me
March 2, 1997
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
And acknowledgement of God rather than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:6
My child, you learn as I teach you. There is nothing required of you save a willing spirit. My heart is within you. Do you read these things and then keep them in your heart? Do you hear them with your heart? So it is. I shall be the one to teach you. Do not yearn for what is not needed. You need not seek to learn. I in My Glory have done this. I in My Glory have presented these things to you. There is naught for you to do. Effort on you part is not needed. For how can a Kingdom be made known by a child? I in My Glory shall make known to you the things of My heart. You then be in the place where I have placed your feet. My child, there is naught for you to do. This then is the meaning of these things: How can you in your humanity do things that I in My divine right could not do in the time I walked on this earth? Men hear the words with their ears, yet their hearts are callused. They cannot see for they are blind. How then can you, a child, make these things known to man? The Son of Man was rejected and spit upon, yet He came into His Glory. So too, you shall be rejected by many. This is the work of My hand. Do not concern yourself with these things. If there is a word to be spoken, it shall be in your mouth. If there is a thing to be done, it shall be in your hands. So too, if there is something to be learned, it shall be in your heart. Strive not, for there is naught for you to do. All these things shall be placed before you. For they are the work of My hand and My work is ever before Me. Go to your day, My child.
25. Be of good cheer
March 9, 1997
They that call upon Me in the day shall hear My voice in the night. All things come of Me and in time, this too will be clear to all who are of this earth. Write these words, My child, that you may know the power of My Name in the land. All these things shall come to pass. How can man who is of Me be in places that are not of My making, for there is nothing in this world that is not of Me. I am Lord. If man then, chooses to walk a path not of My choosing, how can I, being Lord, allow this? I tell you, even on this path, I am there. Even in the dark places. There is no place man can hide himself from Me. If you do not see me, does that imply that I am not there? I see you and know where you are at all times. Yet man in his humanness would try to see Me. I am He Who calls forth the very firmament of heaven. Shall I come forth when I am called? This then is the way. I am Lord. No one calls Me forth. Yet I in My Glory am in all things. If you do not see Me, what is that to Me? I AM. You in your humanness come forth. I call and you come forth. When you hear My Word in your ear, know this: You have been called from the beginning. If now you hear it is because I have brought you forth by My own hand. The Word is in you. Let it come forth. This is not new. This has been there since the beginning. Yet you in your humanness could not see this. Yet you in your flesh cannot see this. Yet you in your limitations cannot see this. I am Lord. I bring forth. I call and they hear not. What is that to Me? I have called since the beginning. And so now they come forth. The time is right. If you in your flesh can now hear, this means the time is right. You have been called since the beginning and you come forth, for the time is right. Do not be alarmed. Do not be fearful. If I in My Glory do these things it is for the good of all. Why then do you hesitate? It shall be as I have spoken. And a small child shall lead them. You then are that child. I shall make all these things clear to you. This is not a new thing. This has been done before. Yet you are new and this is a new time. Come forth that My people shall be cleansed. Come forth that the nations shall see My Glory. Come forth that all shall know the Glory of the Lord. And a small child shall lead them.
Many were prepared from the beginning. So it is with you. Be of good cheer. You are never alone. You are the work of My hand and I am well-pleased. Do you think I look for the well-versed? They speak their own words and let Mine fall to the side. Do you think I look for the powerful? They revel in their own glory and see Me not. Do you think I look for the merciful? Yes, this is what I desire. This is what I seek. Seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God. For it is from His hand that all things come. For it is from His hand that all things have life. For it is from His hand that the nations will receive their glory. For Glory is within Him and no one can be in his own glory. Come that you may see the Glory of the Lord. It is within you and a nation shall rejoice. For they shall fall to their knees in adoration of the One Who is justice. For they shall fall to their knees in adoration of the One Who is mercy. For they shall fall to their knees in adoration of the One Who loves all that He has in the palm of His hand. ‘This nation is Mine,’ declared the Lord, ‘And none shall be removed from My hand.’ And it is to My Glory that I have spoken to one so small. It is to My Glory that I call one that is so small. It is to My Glory that one so small comes forth and it is to My Glory that one so small shall lead them to a new place for I hold her in the palm of My hand and a nation shall come forth. And a small child shall lead them to this place that has been prepared since the beginning of time. Fear not, My child. Do you think I bring this to you and then abandon you to the task? Never! I am with you even to the end. Be of good cheer. I am well pleased and lift you up as we speak.
Go to your day, My child.
26. To know Me is to do My Will
March 10, 1997
Still you look for signs that it is I. What shall I do? Shall I move the very heavens and the very earth? Still man would not see Me. I tell you the very sound of My Voice is all you need. The soft whisper of My hand upon you. Great things have come to pass and man still did not believe. The very waters moved and the very mountain thundered. Still they did not believe. Still their hearts were hardened. I in My Glory seek not to make Myself known in these ways. To know Me is to do My Will. This is what I seek. Do you hear My Voice? Do you listen? This is what I desire: Do justice, seek Me in all things, love those around you. My child, do not try to understand these things. They are beyond you. Yet know this: I am ever present. My hand is upon you. Your name is written in heaven. Seek My face in all things. I am near. Do you hear My Voice? Do you desire to do My will? So it is. I am within you and yet you ask where I am. You seek to know Who directs you. Do you think I would let ought come near this work of Mine? My hand moves in all these places. Do they seem to be against you? It is so. This is because their hearts have been hardened by the evil one. Am I not Victor of the world? Why then do you concern yourself with these? Many shall come against this. Yet know this: My work is before me. My words do not fall. You are in the palm of My hand. Do you think that they can come against My very hand? No, I tell you and when they come near that hand, great will be the cry that rises up for who can come against the Lord? In My day I walked the earth and many came against Me. Yet what shall I say. Did they kill the Son of Man? Yet he rose to Glory. So too, they cannot come against My hand. For I am Glory and you are within that Glory.
27. By My hand alone
March 10, 1997
If you say we are sinners then we are slaves to sin. Yet Christ died to save us. If then Christ died to save us, why then do we say we are still sinners? Did Christ die for nothing? In Him there is no sin. And we are in Him who know Him. If He is in us, how can we say we sin? Christ died once for all. He does not still die to pay the price. Man has been redeemed. If then, a man repents and invites the Lord to take over his life and if then, that man, who was a sinner, and now has repented and the Lord lives within him, how can he continue to call himself a sinner? Has Christ died for nothing or is this one not now righteous? Say then no longer ‘I am a sinner’ but ‘I was a sinner and now in Christ I am made righteous.’ This then is the way: Man sinned and fell short of the Glory of God. There was nothing to do to redeem him. God paid the price and put sin to death once for all. Now he who repents comes near and is cleansed. Now he who would desire peace comes near and receives joy. Now he who was a sinner is now free and righteous in the eyes of He Who made the world. For He Who formed the very stars has said: Come to me all you who would rest that I may cleanse your breast and free you from what ails you. I am the Lord and it is by My hand alone that you are cleansed. It is by My hand alone that no man can boast. For I am the Lord.
28. I shall fill them
March 14, 1997
My child, what do you see? Do you see a man being led by his God? Do you see Me in these things? Come now, let us reason together. If you in your humanness cannot see these things, it is for Me to show you. Nothing shall befall you that you do not know. So it is with Me. I in My Glory lead you to places not known by you. Yet I make these things known to you. This is for My Glory. Yet I am a kind and passionate God. My children have need of Me. So too, I have need of them. You shall not do things not done before. This is right. You are right in your thinking. You shall be the one to move, yet it will be by My hand that these things are accomplished. This is the right way to think. Yet there will be things you shall not understand. Know this: I am present in all these things. My words do not fall to the ground. Do not fear. I do not abandon you to the task. This then is the meaning of these things: a man moves in many directions. His feet do not know the way. The Spirit that is within him knows the way, and so man moves. If there are problems and challenges that arise in his life, he seeks Me and there I am. I in My Glory depart not. And a measure is given to each one. I am the Lord and it is by My hand alone that My Glory rests on man. If I choose, I can leave, yet would I leave that which is within Me? Is it not better to bide My time and wait ‘til this one feels need of Me? Yet some fill themselves with the things of this world. What am I to do then? Shall I depart? Shall I move My hand from this one and that one? Or shall I impart My Wisdom to some that they may dwell in that place with that one that he may desire to know Me? This then is the meaning of these things: Many are the called; few are the chosen. And you have been chosen that My fire shall be within you and you within Me. I will be with you even in the days when there is darkness and My hand shall ever guide you. Know that it is by My hand that you move. Some will say that it is not. What is that to Me? They are not of Me and I am not in them. You then show the way for you have been there before. And the cry that rises up shall fill My temple and I shall hear them and I shall fill them that they know I am their God.
Go to your day, My child.
29. The brink of salvation
March 19, 1997
My child, what do you think of these things? Is there burden on your heart? This is good. Then you shall bring it to Me. Many do not know the way. You then show the way. Why do you hesitate? If I tell you something in your ear, it is for the good of all.
That you may know it is I. All these things shall come to pass.
Is there trouble among you? Come, let us reason together.
When the Lord of the heavens and all that is in the earth walked as you do, was there trouble? Did the world open its arms to receive Him Who was the Saviour of the world? Rather, He was crucified that the world should live. Man in his humanness cannot save himself. Yet through Me, all things are made new. Show them the way. Continue in your love for Me. All this is for the Glory of God. Your hand shall lead some to drink of the everlasting water. Some shall be washed of their iniquity. Others still shall be raised up. Then there are those who shall hear Me as you speak My words and shall come forth to lead the people. You then show the way. Come to Me all you who are heavy laden and I shall give you rest. My Word is for you and for those I call. Man is on the brink of salvation. That he come forth to be washed in the flood of MY everlasting Love. That he come to receive blessings from My hand prepared since the beginning of time. Come now and let us reason together. If you in your humanness can see the work of God, shall not all men see the work of God? This is to My Glory: That one so small shall lead a nation to a new place in Me. I am Lord and it is to My Glory that I shine in all faces and in all men. Come now that I make known to you the secrets of the Kingdom that has been hidden throughout the ages: Man alive in Me and Me alive in man. This is a union not to be broken. For what man can break that which is not in his hand? Yet I say to you, many walk as if the Cross were on their shoulder. Yet this I say to you: I in you and you in Me. If I am in you and the burden is there would it not make good sense to give that burden to Me? This then is the way. This then is the answer. If I am alive in you, why would you continue to carry that which has caused you pain? Would it not be better to give this to the One Who saves? Come that you may be free from that which burdens you. I am the Lord and this is to My Glory: That all men come to Me and enter into My rest. Alleluia!
30. All is in place
March 24, 1997
Write these words, My child, that you would know it is I Who direct you.
Many shall come in My name, saying things that seem to be true. Be wise in your words. Give not that which is pearls to that which is swine. My hand alone will accomplish this work. Do you have time for the deeds of man when the deeds of God are put before you? I think not. Yet this is certain. The deeds of man at times seem to be of great value. But what is the value of that which falls? If I in My Glory put in place a work, surely I by My hand shall hold this in place. Do not fear, My child. All these things shall come to pass. My heart is within you and naught can come against this heart of Mine and the work I have put in place. It seems that my people should always move to a new place. Yet hear Me, this is to My Glory and to the salvation of man. If you being human desire the things of this world, would you not think that I, being a divine God, would desire divinity for My creatures? Come to me, the time is near. All is in place. Do you feel My hand upon you? I tell you, you shall move into these places as I direct. Do not move to the left or to the right.
31. Do not worry so
April 1, 1997
My child, do not fear these things. When I call, My people do not always listen. It has been so since the beginning. Yet I call and they come forth. My hand is the one they feel. If these are not sure, it is because many have led them in the wrong path. You now, lead them in the right path. Do not move to the left or to the right.
My child, do not be discouraged. This is My work. I watch my work and I am pleased. Why do you watch and yet are anxious? I care not what man thinks of My work. It is My work and I alone know the direction I take. You then watch and see the direction I take. I care not for the conventions of man. Yet all these things are put in place by My hand. And so shall I not move to that which I have put in place? Do not worry so. You do not see what I see for you look with your eyes. Look then with the eyes of the heart I have placed in you. Do not doubt. All shall come forth. Even these who come forth in resistance. I am the Lord.
32. A nation shall come forth
April 2, 1997
Write these words, My child.
I even am the One Who leads you. Do you think that if you do not do your work that My work is not done? I am the One Who leads. This then is the meaning of these things: Even as a slave this one was set free. You then in your freedom do not behave as a slave. I have set you free. None of these things are necessary to your becoming what I have already made you. It is not necessary that you be in this place to be in the place I have already placed you. Yet for My pleasure, you learn of these things. My work is not of this world. Would you then need the work of this world to accomplish that which is not of this world. Onesimus was slave and was set free. He was sent to those who were still in slavery, not to be where he was, but to bring freedom. So too, you being free, are sent to those who are still bound, to show the way of freedom. Paul knew this for he asks for the heart to be open to this. You then as I send you, ask for your heart to be opened. And so they shall hear your word that brings freedom. For I am the One Who has placed this Word in your heart.
My child, do not fear these things, yet welcome them. A nation is in the pain of childbirth and you shall see this come to pass. Many shall be born again. The Lord of the Harvest has need of you and a nation shall come forth. Do not look to the left or to the right. Know this: I lead you and no other. This is to My Glory and to the Glory of the Father. You shall come forth by My hand for it is My hand that leads you. None other can come against this work. I have said this before: do you think I need the hand of man to put in place that which is Mine? Yet shall I use the hand of a child and a nation shall come forth. Be of good cheer, My child. these things shall come to pass. And great shall be My Glory when a nation comes forth by the hand of a child.
Go to your day, My child.
Onesimus was sent back to Philemon. He was no longer a slave. And so he was not sent to be with Philemon because of his status as a former slave, but now to bring freedom to those who were still slaves.
So too, we, when we are freed, are often led by the Lord to those very places that we walked as slaves, not to be returned to where we were, but to bring freedom to those who are still there as slaves.
33. I alone
April 8, 1997
My child, do not fear so the things that I tell you. My Spirit is upon you and no other. Would you hear things not heard before? They saw Me yet did not believe. Would you now believe if you saw? I tell you, no proof will be given that has not been given. The Son of Man was 3 days in the bowels of the earth and still man does not believe. Have faith, My child, and revel in this: I have shown you these things for a purpose. When you speak you shall know of what you speak. I am not heartless and do not abandon you to the task. This is My work. Do you think then I would remove My hand from that which is Mine? No. Even shall I stay My hand in that place and move you to do My Will. You have asked for this and so it is yours. To know the Will of God and to be put to the task. My child, I will never abandon you. Know this: My hand which is upon you shall not move from its place. What care I for men who would move this way and that? I shall move within you and then shall I move you to a new place and then shall you come forth and all the angels shall glorify Me as they see one so small come forth to take the place that is Mine alone to give. And they who come against this shall fall with a mighty cry to their knees. For I alone am Lord. I alone am the Holy One. I alone rule the heavens and the earth and I alone draw all men to Me, to the Glory of the Father. Be of good cheer, My child. All these things shall come to pass. Slow they seem in the eyes of man yet know this: All is in place and your feet are where I have placed them. Be of good cheer, My child.
34. To know the heart of He Who saves
April 10, 1997
Write these words, My child.
In all these things do not be afraid. I am near.
This is a time of preparation for you. I do not abandon you to the task. Many shall come against you. But I the Lord am with you. Who then can come against you? Many shall come with words of woe. Many shall come and shall try to put the burden of their woe upon you. This is My work. Who can do the work of the Lord? Would you take the world upon your shoulder? So it is with Me. I am the Lord. This is My work. You then come near. Place all these things in My hand. I am the One Who saves. You then come forth. I lead you to a place where many have desired to walk. Yet know this: the road is hard. Your cannot do this on your own. Trust in Me at all times. If you feel these things in your heart, it is because I have brought them to you. Who can come near this heart of Mine? I then in My Glory make these things clear to you. All these things are for a purpose, My child. Do you think I would abandon you to the task? Watch carefully that you may learn what it is to be humble. Watch carefully that you may learn what it is to walk before your God. Watch carefully that you may know the power of the One Who saves. All these things are for a purpose. Do I speak in your ear. Move. Do I speak in your ear? Act. Do I speak in your ear? Move. For the way of the Lord is this: To know the heart of He Who saves. This is to your glory: That one so small shall come forth to lead a nation. This is to My Name that all see the power of God in the hand of a small child. this is to My Glory: That the Name of the One Who saves be on the lips of all men to the Glory of His Name. I am Lord. I abandon you not to the task. Yet know this: It is not to Me to do the work of the One Who saves. It is to Me to do the work of all that is needed for the salvation of man. For the Glory of God is manifest in the smallest of places, in the heart of man. How much more shall the power of God be manifest when the hand of a child calls a nation forth to the Glory of the Father? Shall the glory of a small flower be more magnificent in this way? That a nation come forth to hear My Word on the lips of one so small: That is to My Glory. I am the One Who saves. Yet if I come forth to manifest Myself, shall they hear My Voice? Did they hear My Voice? Do they hear My Voice? Yet shall My Name be glorified when I move a nation forth through the hand of one who is not more powerful than the petal on a flower. This is to the Glory of the One Who saves: That My power be manifest in one so small.
Go to your day, My child.
35. You then come near
April 11, 1997
Write these words, My child.
In their union, many are divided. I come to bring peace. Yet many do not accept this gift from My hand. Shall I then withhold it? No I tell you. Greater shall be their peace at a later time. I in My Glory shall move in their heart, their heart that does not know Me, and they shall know the peace which passes all understanding. You then come near. Give to Me all that I ask. Give to Me your very life that you may gain eternal life. For the Lord of the Harvest is near. Many shall fall to their knees in adoration of the Mighty One, God in His Glory. Come that you may know the peace I have for you in My heart. They shall come and say to you: This is the way. Do not listen. Hearken only to My Voice. My Voice brings peace and harmony. Can you not perceive it? Wait upon Me, My child. the time is near.
Go to your day.
36. I am the Alpha and the Omega
April 12, 1997
All these things are for a purpose. Do not be afraid of what you hear, My child. Do you not think that the Lord of the heavens can put a small child in the place of His choice? If these things seem strange to you, what is that to Me? I am Lord.
My heart is within you. Do not doubt. In your doubt, you will burden yourself. Do as I say. I direct you. None other can come near. My child, all these thing are for a purpose. My people have need of Me. I am the Alpha and the Omega. In all of time there has never been one who walked the earth as I. Do you need to see My Word manifest to know it is there? Yet because you are a child, I lead you. Because you are a child, I manifest Myself to you: That you will believe. A small child watches his parents to see which way he must go. So it is with Me. I do no abandon you to the task. Yet everything you do shall have meaning for another time. Do they come? I bring them. Do they speak? I guide them. Do they move according to My Will? I am there. You shall see things not seen before. Yet know this: This is for a purpose. I do not abandon you to the task. I prepare you. That you shall know it is I, I shall move in your life and in the lives of those around you. That they know the Glory of the Holy One. That they know the Glory of His Name.
I am the Alpha and the Omega. All things begin and end in Me. There is no other way. Therefore shall I begin this work at an opportune time. Know this: These thing are in place. Yet you move according to My Will to put in place the things of man that the things of God be manifest to all. Follow Me, My child. You shall see greater things than this. You shall see the Son of Man come to take you by the hand. You shall see a nation fall to its knees to rise again in Glory to My Name. I am the Alpha and the Omega. All things begin and end in Me. I was there at the creation of the world. I shall be Lord eternally. I am the Alpha and the Omega.
Why do you wonder at the words you hear? These things are nothing to Me. These things are man’s creation. A blade of grass has more life than the word of man. Yet I am there from beginning to end. The blade of grass dies to be reborn again. The word of man shall die for it is of man. Yet shall I bring forth My fruit on this earth. I shall put in the mouths of those who are men My Word of life. Then this Word which is of Me shall come forth from man which is of Me to bring new life to the earth. The mouth I fill shall be your own and the life that comes is Mine everlasting. And they shall be reborn for they are perishing by the word of man that I have not put in his mouth.
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
This then is the meaning of these things: The blade of grass is reborn for My life is there from the beginning. The word of man perishes for how can that which is not of Me stand alone? I put My Word which stands forever into your mouth. Now when you speak, the Word of Life comes forth, for it is of Me. Man cannot stand alone for without Me, he is naught and perishes before the Holy One. Yet with My Life in him, he stands. For I am near. Only that which is of God can come near without perishing. For when one comes near the Holy One, all that is not of Him burns to nothing, to ashes. Yet if I am there I cleanse this one and that, so that before the throne of Grace I stand with that one. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. All that begins in Me ends in Me. And I endure forever. So too shall those who come near to Me.
I shall never forsake them.
I shall never abandon them.
Thanks be to God!
37. I am within you
April 18, 1997
In all of these things know that I am Lord. You invite Me in. Yet know this: This is the work of My hands. Do you not think that if I put something in place, that I would be Lord of that time? Yet it is good that you say these things, for all do not walk in these ways. You then show the way. Do you think that I would let ought come against the work I have put in place for this people? My child, when you speak, they shall hear Me, for I am within you. I am Lord of the Harvest and the time is near. Shall I not call in those who would hear My Voice? Shall I not tell them the words they are to say? Shall I not prepare their hearts for this work? I am the Lord and I would do this work. That you know it is I Who direct you, all these things shall come to pass. Stay in the place I have put your feet. All these things are for a purpose. You think they are against you. You shall see more than this. Do you think this is an easy road? The Son of Man came and they knew him not. Do you think they will know you? Yet know this: The Kingdom is not of this world. Those who seek to destroy therefore are not of this world. So too you in Me are not of this world. Shall it not be then that these things shall come against you? But do not fear, for you are covered in Me. I am the Lord of the Harvest and happy are those who hear My Voice. This is to your glory. This is to your salvation and the salvation of many. If you hear My Voice, rejoice, for your name is written in heaven. This has been so since the beginning of time. It is not an easy road, My child. Yet know this: You are not alone. Many shall come before you and you shall say unto them: The Lord has need of you. Do not be afraid. He Who is Lord of all shall reign in your heart. He Who is Lord of all, desires that all men be saved. And this is the way: Come before Him at all times; in good and in bad. He is Lord of the Harvest and would call you home.
Go to your day, My child. Remember this: When you open your mouth to speak the words shall be there for I the Lord have placed them in your heart.
38. You shall see nations come forth
April 27, 1997
My child. Do not fear. I am ever with you. It is as you say. I am the One to put all these things in place. Man turns this way and that to put in place the desires of his heart. Shall I not put My hand to the task that is of Me? Surely you can understand this. Understand this, My child: None can put in place the work that I have desired since the beginning of time. I am Lord and I would have no one do my work. Yet shall I place in your hands the work of My Heart. My people have need of Me and I desire that they be led by one of their own. Yet that one shall be of Me, shall be filled with My Wisdom, My Understanding, My Knowledge. There shall be nothing of this one in this work save this: the desire to please Me and to do My Will; the desire that I manifest Myself before My people; the desire that I lead My people to a new place. This then is the way: I shall pt this in place, I shall speak the words in your ear, I shall take you by the hand and lead you to a new place. And when you look, you shall see the nations come forth for they shall see the Glory of the Lord in one so small. And great shall be the cry that rises up as a nation falls to its knees in praise of the Holy One. You My child, hear My words: there is naught for you to do; this is My work and the work of My hands. All these things shall come to pass and you shall know the Glory of the Lord in the land of the living. Go to your day, My child.
39. In My Name
May 4th, 1997
Write these words, My child.
In all these things, know that I am present. What would you have Me do? Would you have Me proclaim this from the rooftops? My child, there is one who would believe more save the Son of Man come again in Glory. If then the Son of Man walked the earth and only some believed, why would you think that you in your humanness would believe more if the son of Man shouted from the rooftops? I tell you no sign shall be given. Yet know this: That you may know the Son of Man knows you and guides your way, these signs shall follow you: In My Name they shall be healed whom you touch. In My Name, they shall come forth those whom you call forth at My Word. In My Name you shall cast out demons and those who are free shall call on the Name of the Lord. It is written ‘and these signs shall follow them.’ This is the way, My child. The signs shall show you the way you are to go. And many shall come forth in My Name. This is to My Glory and to the Glory of My Name. Go to your day, My child and know this: The time is near, My people have need of Me. And a small child shall come forth to take them by the hand and they shall be led to a new place. Go to your day, My child. All these things have a time and a season. There is nothing shall come to pass save by My hand. Yours is to rest and wait upon My Word, My Word which is in your heart. Go to yo8ur day, My child. The Peace of the Lord, the Holy One, is with you.
Amen and Amen.
40. I do not speak for the benefit of man
May 9th, 1997
Write these words, My child.
Why do you strive so? Rest in Me. I am in you and there is none that can come against this. This is the way: Follow Me and hear My Word. It is in your heart. I do not ask of you things that you do not know. All I ask has already been given to you. Your heart is ever before Me. Do you think I would abandon you to the task? All that is in you is of Me, for I am within you. Do you hear Me? Speak. Do you feel your hand upon you? I think not. It is I Who move you into place. Keep these things in your heart. For many shall come against you. But fear not. I am with you. All that I have revealed to you is for a purpose: That you know the hand of God upon you. I would not have you move to a place you do not know. All these things are for a purpose: That you know the Glory of the One Who saves; that you know His Name. I am He Who put the very stars in place. Shall I not direct the heart of one small child? That you know it is I, all these things shall come to pass. I prepare the way before you that when you step forth, you shall know the way. As you need to know, these things shall be revealed to you. Do not strive so. I do not speak for the benefit of man. For I am Lord and all is Mine. When I speak the Word goes forth and does not return to Me but accomplishes that for which I sent it forth. So it is with you. As I speak you come forth to do My Will. If I do not speak, the time is not right. Wait and see. A nation comes forth to claim her inheritance and those who have held this back shall repent. You then come forth. When you feel My hand go forth. For it is the hand that has moved you since birth. Fear not the things you do not see. Fear the things you do see. And come forth as I call.
There is naught to be done. I am Lord and this is the work of My hand.
41. A new time is coming
May 10th, 1997
Write these words, My child. I in My Glory bring these things to you. Yet you shall see more than this. It is written:
And these signs shall follow them. In My Name they shall cast out demons. They shall touch the sick, and they shall be healed. And the Kingdom of heaven shall be opened as they preach the good news far and wide. And the nations shall come forth. For a new time is coming: a time of peace and joy. This is to the Glory of My Name. Blessed are you who are called and come forth to do My Will. A crown has been prepared for you since the beginning of time. Take your place and speak the Word I place in your ear: that the nations shall be healed of their infirmity; that those who are in bondage shall be free; that the children come forth to claim their rightful inheritance that has been theirs since time began. The end is near and many shall see the Glory of the Lord reflected on every face as the nations come forth to proclaim the Glory of the Lord.
Many shall see these things and great shall be their joy. That which has blinded men shall be removed for they shall be healed and then shall I wipe the tear from every eye.
You then, hear My Word: Yours is to obey. My Word is in your heart. The time is near. That task has been set before you. Now watch as all is put in place. I am Lord and I would have my people be free of that which binds them, for they have cried to Me and I have heard them. I am well-pleased My child.
Come forth that I may accomplish that which has been prepared since time began. There is naught for you to do. Only come before Me at all times. Go to your day, My child.
42. An army of warriors
May 20th, 1997
Write these words, My child.
Is there one among you who would understand these things? Let him come forth that we see his thoughts on this. My hand is in all places, yet there are many who would seek the meaning of all things. They shall perish for knowledge of man is fleeting and Knowledge of God gives way to Life. Seek not to discern these things on your own. Yet come to Me that I make them clear to you. The Lamb is Jesus. He Who brings light to the world is the Holy Spirit. He who speaks the Word is the Father. The nations shall receive their healing from the Father for He shall send forth an army of warriors. He shall equip them for every good work. Those who come forth shall have light within them for they shall be filled with the Holy Spirit. This then is the meaning of these things. Come forth as you are called. A nation awaits in expectation. And the fruit of your life shall be for the salvation of many. There is no place to go except to the Father. From His hand shall you receive the Life that is needed to go into the world. Come, My child and see the good things the Father has prepared since the beginning of time. Things of life and light. Things to break down barriers of stone. Things to lead a nation forth. Things to bring healing and peace. And the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit shall reign over them in glory and wipe tears from every eye. To the Glory of His Holy Name. Amen.
43. I move before you at all times
May 24th, 1997
Write these words, My child.
Why do you strive so? Why do you doubt? I am here and there is no place you will go that I will not be there. For I go ahead of you to prepare the way. It is good that you look to Me at all times in these things, for then you shall not be led astray. Yet know this: My hand moves in all these things. You say, “How can this be?” I say to you: it is already done. You say: “How can I move into these things?” Yet I say to you that in each place you shall be prepared. For I move before you at all times. Can you not perceive that this is a time of preparation. That you know it is I, all these things shall come to pass. Do you hear My Voice? These things shall be. You doubt and yet these things are. Do you think that you in your doubt can hold back the hand of God? There is none can do this. Yet you doubt. I speak in truth and these things shall come to pass. I have said I would not abandon you to the task. Yet you doubt when My voice is in your ear. Do you think that healing comes from man’s belief? I think not. Yet man in his unbelief shall be healed. Yet man in his doubt shall hear. Yet man in his doubt shall come forth to be where I have placed him. Do you doubt? Do you hear? Do you feel? This shall not change the course of things. Even you in your glory shall come to know the face of God. How can I come near and not burn away all that is not of Me? I consume all and, that which is not of Me falls to the side, for what can hold itself in place? Come forth, My child. I am near. And heaven is in glory for I am there. In My Presence you know Me, for I come. Hold out your hand to receive that which has been prepared for you. That you may give forth that which is Mine to the nations. I am well-pleased, My child.
44. I will never forsake My people
July 13, 1997
Take your pen and write these words as I tell you.
The time will come when this will be gone from you. Do you hear Me now? I have never left you. Though you hear Me not, know that I am ever beside you. Do you think I would forsake the work of My hand. My child, there is much to be done, and I would do it. I will never forsake My people. They cry out to Me ad I hear their cry. Those who fall to the side shall fall to their knees and I shall raise them up. My child, do not fear. Naught can come against the work of My hand. Yet know this: You shall see many fall to the side. For how can they stand by their own hand? Then shall they see the hand of the One Who can hold them up and they shall reach out for Me. They shall fall to their knees, for I the Lord am the One Who has created their very heart and they have turned away. Yet know this: I shall raise them up and great shall be the cry that comes forth from their lips. You, my child, rest. You, My child, wait. The time is near, but it is not here yet. You shall be ready when the times comes. Do not fear for I prepare you for what is at hand. And you shall see the nations come forth at the sound of My Voice. There shall be such a cry throughout the land that it will seem that the very earth has cast forth the dead. But it shall be a cry of joy that comes forth, for the Son of Man shall claim that which is rightfully His. This has been so since the beginning, yet man in his folly would walk another path. Yet know this: I lead you to a new place. Yet know this: My heart is within you and shall never leave, for if I leave I leave Myself and how can this be? My child, fear not the things you see with your eyes. Fear that which you do not see. Come before Me at all times and know that I am ever with you. The time is near. This is a time of preparation. Go to your day, My child.
45. There will be stirrings in your heart
July 17, 1997
This is a time of peace. Do not worry so that you do not hear My Voice. I am near. Can the wind blow and you do not hear it? Can the wind blow and you do not feel it? When you are in a sheltered place, it is as if there is no wind. Yet know this: Your are in the palm of My hand. Remember this: My Word does not fall. All is in place. This is a time of peace, a time of rest. A time will come where you shall be moved as the sea can move. There will be stirrings in your heart and My hand will be upon you. Now is a time of rest. Be still, My child and rest in this time. You shall see greater things than this. Rest, My child in this time. A time comes when you will work very hard for Me. This is a time of rest.
46. You have need of Me
July 19, 1997
My child, I long for your presence as you long for Mine. Yet I am here. You long to hear My Voice, yet My very hand is upon you. You long to see Me and know Me yet I am in your very heart. Do you not perceive it? If there is no wind the leaves do not move, yet the air is around them, it doesn’t leave. So too, if you do not hear My Voice, know that I am around you and within you. For just as the leaves have need of the air to sustain them, so too, you have need of Me to sustain you. Yet this longing pleases Me for you long from the very depths of your heart. Do you not perceive that this desire to know Me is from the very depths of My own heart? I would have all men come to the knowledge of the Lord. Yet they take this desire that comes from My very heart and make it their own. Yet they take this desire that comes from My very heart and try to satisfy it with the things of this world. How can that which is unclean come near to that which is clean? How can impurity come near to that which is holy? Yet I tell you, many have come before Me this way. Wait and see, My child. for the time is near. A time will come when you will implore Me to remove this from you; yet know this: Even in this shall I be present. Even in this shall I be God. Go to your day, My child.
47. My work does not depend on you
September 6, 1997
Write these words, My child.
In all of this time I am with you. Do not fear. If it is quiet, do you think I speak? When I speak, do you hear? Yet you would hear Me at all times. It is good that you desire that I speak at all times, for you long for the sound of My Voice in your ear. Yet know this: the leaves on the tree move, yet you do not see the wind. Do you need to see the air move to know it is there? So too, I am always beside you. There may be no voice in your ear, yet I am near. Think, My child. Do you believe that My Voice depends on you? If I speak not in your ear, it is not because you are not near. I am near. Why then does it matter if you are not near? Can you not perceive that I am within you? Can that which is within you not be near? That you know the Glory of God, all these things shall come to pass.
My child, My people have need of Me. I am well pleased that you long to hear My Voice. Yet know this: My work does not depend n you. You shall move for I am your God and who can withstand the fire of My love? Yet know this: I am well-pleased. A nation comes forth to take her rightful place and I am there to meet her. You, My child, are the one I have chosen to lead this nation to a new place. You hear My Voice, yet you doubt. You wonder at these things. Do not wonder. Do not doubt. For I am Lord and there is naught I cannot do. Even this: Take the hand of a small child that she take a nation by the hand and lead them to a new place. Do not fear. I am ever near. If you do not hear My Voice, do not lament. For I am within you. Blessed be the child who longs for Me this way. That she shall have My name upon her heart forevermore. Righteous one is your name, for you have put aside the desires of your heart to know Me. Great shall be your rejoicing in the day that I bring you forth. For you shall know the sound of My Voice and you shall see with your eyes the Glory of the One Who saves. Shall I not bring forth the fruit of the harvest? Shall I not lead those back who have been lost? Shall I not even restore the ones who have fallen by the wayside? I am the Lord and all that is Mine shall come forth. For naught that is Mine shall be taken from My hand. I am the Lord.
Who would come to Me and remove from My hand that which I have held for all time? Let him come forth and then shall the fire of My love consume him.
I am Lord and mighty in all places.
There is no place that can be hidden from My eyes. Even the steps of men in the places of their own hearts is displayed before Me.
I am the Lord. Who can run from My path? Let him step forward ad proclaim this.
I even shall be in his heart before he steps forth to claim a place that has been Mine since the beginning.
Shall the hand of a man move the heart of God?
Yet I tell you, in love have I seen the hearts of those turned to me, and I cannot be but one with them.
For if they love Me shall I not be there to receive this love? For it has been Mine since the beginning. You love and you believe this is from your own heart. Yet I tell you. Man has been formed from the dust of the earth. The breath of My love has been breathed into him to give him life.
Shall not I be there when the life of man, the love of God, comes forth?
Who can receive this love save the One Who saves? For He was there since the beginning. If this love has been hidden and the hearts of men have become hard, shall I not be there when all is healed? Shall I being the One Who saves, not be there to claim what is rightfully Mine?
My child, you mourn for you hear not My Voice. Yet I tell you, you need not hear My Voice to know that I am within you. I give you life. Shall I not be there to sustain this life? Shall I remove My hand that you fall? Yet I tell you, when you say that you love Me, I am with you, not because I need to hear you say this. But because I am the One Who loves you. If I love you I shall be there and if I am there this love for you burns that you feel it to be your own.
Yet know this: The Love you feel is the overflow. And this overflow shall be the way to the Father. And this is the way: In your love for Me that I have placed in your heart, you shall move to do great things, for I am there. And a nation in the pains of childbirth shall come forth. And when this nation comes forth, the hand of a child shall be there and they shall rejoice that God Mighty in Power has displayed His work in the hand of a child.
Do not fear, My child. The time is near. This is not an easy road. Yet because I am near, none shall come near you to harm you.
Go to your day, My child.
You asked Me to speak to you and I did.
48. A spirit of contention
September 11, 1997
Write these words, My child.
A spirit of contention is upon this group. You do not need to fear this for I am with you. Yet there are those who shall fear. Yet there are those who shall be drawn to a place that is not of Me. See the meaning of these things: When the body is, there also will the vultures be. And so My body is in distress. Yet do not fear for I am there. There is naught for you to do. This shall be removed at the given time. You then stand firm. You then keep a guard on your mouth. You then know that this is for a season for there are those who would move to a place not of Me. There are those who would move others to that place with them. Yet I am the Lord. I shall let them move for a while, but the time comes when the Son of Man shall bring forth His army, His holy ones. And there shall arise in the land such a cry that the very stones shall cry out. And they shall fall those that hold themselves up by their own hand, those that lead My children to a place not of Me. Do you think that I shall abandon My children who are with Me even to the end? I shall not. Do not fear. Be of good cheer. All these things are for a purpose. That the Son of Man receive the Glory that is rightfully His, those that glorify themselves shall know that this Glory is from the One Who saves and only the Lord is Glory. How can that which is not Glory bring Glory to itself?
This then is the meaning of these things. Man sees his reflection as in a mirror. Yet when he leaves, the reflection is no longer there. Stand before Me for I am the One to imitate. Shall you stand before a mirror and imitate what you see? For you move not apart from yourself. How then can you reflect the glory of that which is not Glory? Stand therefore before Me. I am the One to imitate. For if I am Glory, and you stand before Me, this Glory shall shine upon your face and be reflected to the world. The mirror you see in prayer sometimes is to show you this: There are those who would mirror the image of the world wherein there is no glory. Yet I in My Glory shall make this clear. You then stand before Me. Do not look to the ways of the world. Do not hearken to what you hear. I am the Lord and the Way and the Truth and the Life.
Go to your day, My child.
49. Straight in all My Ways
September 12, 1997
Write these words, My child.
Do you think I have changed in My way of thinking? I am the Lord, changeless and everlasting, straight in all My ways. I do not move as man moves, this way and that according to every teaching. I am clear in My word and do not sway from My task.
Yet man would move Me to a new place. I Who am Lord. Shall that which is made move the hand that brought it forth? That you know the Glory of the Lord, all these things shall come to pass. My hand is in all places and My heart is in all men. Yet they would move to their own way.
I tell you. I am the Way,
I am the Truth,
I am the Life.
There is no other way.
If men come to you and tell you what they have on their mind, shall you move to their way? If I Who have you in the palm of My hand, would have you move, would I send one who has become senseless in her thinking? My child, I am the Way. If I would have you receive direction from another, would I not be saying the same thing twice? Why then would I choose someone who has become perverse in their thinking to bring you My Word?
These that lead others to a wrong place shall be removed. I have set before you a task. If I have set before you a task by My own hand, shall I now send another whose hands are weary from their own task of their own making, to direct a task that is from My very hand?
No, I tell you, for it is the work of My hand and none other shall come near. When you become unclear in your thinking, I shall remove that which is not of Me. My people have need of Me. Shall I then send two to take them by the hand, or shall I take the hand that is of My own choosing and bring My people to a new place? P>My child, those that are in the world choose to have the things of the world rule in their hearts and direct them in their thinking. My way is to remove the things of the world from you and to direct you Myself. There is no other way. Put aside these thoughts that confuse you. I am the One Who shall take you by the hand to lead this people.
There is no one who knows the Way, save the One Who is the Way.
Come before Me at all times.
50. My blessed ones, My anointed ones
October 13, 1997
Write these words, My child.
There is naught to be done. All is in place. The time is near. My people are a rebellious lot, yet I would move in their hearts to remove that which has blinded them. Watch and see as they come forth: My blessed ones, My anointed ones. The time is near and the chosen ones of the Kingdom shall come forth. My child, they come and you see them not. As they are set before you, you shall see them. I am Lord and My work is at hand. The tree stands tall and the shadow is cast. Those who rest in Me shall bear fruit for a Kingdom. They shall prepare the way for the children to come in. Wait and see, My child. The time is near. My blessed ones, my anointed ones come. The axe is at the tree and the harvest is near. Do not fear the things you hear. Fear yet that the Kingdom of God is at hand and many shall enter in. My way is clear. Yet man would set another way. What is that to Me? I am Lord. Hold fast to My hand, My child, for many shall fall during this time. But fear not. I am near. The Lord of the Harvest is here and the sheaves shall be brought in. I am He Who holds the keys to the Kingdom. Come all ye who would taste the fruit of Life. Come all ye who would enter into My rest. For this time has been set since the beginning: That all men come to the knowledge of the Lord.
Go to your day, My child.
51. I shall set you straight
November 2, 1997
Write these words, My child.
Do not be afraid. It is I. Do you think I would let ought come against the work of My hand? My people have need of Me. I am pleased that you come before Me. Yet know this: This is a time of preparation. This is a quiet time. A time will come when My Spirit will fall upon you and you will know no rest. Yet know this; I am ever near. I will not put upon you more that you can bear. My hand is gentle and My need is great. There shall be many who come forth during this time. Wait and see. The Kingdom is near and the bride is prepared. Can you not see that this people have wandered far and can wander no more? That you know the Glory of the Almighty, I shall put and end to their wandering and they shall be led to a new place. Glory be to those who have stood the test. They have stood firm to the end. They are My anointed ones. They are the ones to bring this people forth. Those that fall to the side fall because they have swayed in their thinking. You are right in your thinking. What man can hold himself up when My hand is not there?
You, My child, know this: It is by My hand that you stand and no other. Lean not on your own understanding but trust in Me. I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life.
There is no other way. When others come near to confuse you, I shall set you straight. There can be no room for human frailty in this work for many lives are at stake.
Shall one man lead a nation forth to a place of eternity when he himself shall die? No, I tell you. Yet one small child held in the palm of My hand shall lead that same nation forth to a place of eternity, for I Who hold this child in the palm of My hand am Eternity Itself and if I Who am Eternity hold you in the palm of My hand, you too shall never fall but shall be in My hand for Eternity.
Go to your day, My child, and know this: I am ever near.
52. What man can know the mind of God?
November 12, 1997
Write these words, My child.
In this time, know that I am near. I love you, and My heart is within you. If My heart is within you and I know these things shall your heart not also burn within you as it is My very own?
My child, those who walk in the flesh can only feel the things of the flesh. Would you not know the things of God? To do this you must walk in the Spirit. What man can know the mind of God? Yet if you have the mind of Christ, so too shall your heart burn within your. I have raised you up to the heavenlies. Would you now continue to walk with men according to their ways? Or would you now, having this heart within you, which is of My very hand, raise up with Me in the heavenlies others, that they walk also in the high places? My child, do not fear these things, yet rejoice, for just as your name is written in heaven so too shall your feet walk the path of those before you who have known the Lord Almighty in their very hearts. Go to your day, My child.
53. The things of God
February 10, 1998
Write these words, My child.
When I tell you these things do not look so hard with your eyes and mind. The things of God are not of this world.
That the body be fed is of great importance, for how can one live in this world without food? One cannot. One falls in faintness and weakness when the things that are needed to sustain the body are lacking.
So it is with the soul. How often have you heard this: ‘I feel so restless’ and ‘There is nothing that interests me’ and ‘What can I do with myself?’ There is nothing man can do to change these things. Yet I am Lord. I am Lord of all. Would you not have Me rule in your heart? Would you not have Me direct you? Yet you seek your own way. I say to you the way shall be clear and you look with your eyes to see the way. My child, the things of God are not of this world. You are called to do a great thing. Yet it shall be My hand that they see. Your are called to a great thing. Yet it shall be My Voice they hear. So too the disciples when they fed the multitudes did not see the work of their hands for it was I who fed the crowd. Did the people follow the disciples who gave them the bread and the fish for their body? Or did they seek Me out for they knew there was more? So shall it be for this Church. They shall be touched with the hands of men yet they shall long for the hand of God. They shall receive hope for their heart and they shall long for eternal life. This then is the meaning of these things. You shall speak to them and they shall hear you. Yet with their heart they shall know that the Almighty in Power is calling to them. And they shall come forth in large numbers and shall look to see the one who calls. They shall see you, small in their midst, and they shall know that this is from the Lord Almighty. Come, My child, let us reason together. Shall they see you and know it is I Who call? Or shall they hear you and know that it is I? That you know the Wisdom of God, the small things of this world shall be used to manifest the Glory of God. So that when you call, small in stature and simple in mind, they shall know that this can come only from the Lord Great and Mighty in Power and Wisdom, Lord of all that is, King Eternal. And the hand of a child shall point the way.
Go to your day, My child.
54. Only through Me
February 11, 1998
Write these words, My child.
You are trying so hard to be perfect. You are trying so hard to be clean. Do you not know that it is only through Me this can be so? It is only through Me that you are made clean, that you are made whole.
My child, rest in this time. There is naught to be done. The hands of man struggle so, yet all that is needed is the heart. You then, hear this. You then, know this: It is not for your hands that I came. It is not for your feet. It is for your heart that is within you. There is nothing you can do that can advance the Kingdom. There is nothing you can say. Rest in this time.
55. There is a work to be done
February 15, 1998
Write these words, My child.
In this day, know that I am near. Know that I shall never forsake you. There is a work to be done and I would have you do it. Do not look with the eyes of this world, yet look with the eyes of the heart I have placed within you. You are Mine forevermore and this people are Mine. Nothing can remove you from My Presence. I am Lord. Yet know this: Many shall come against this. Even the members of your own household shall wonder. Yet there is One Who shall stand firm to the end. It is I. I am the Lord. You shall be where I have placed you and the one who is at your side (Jack, my husband) shall not falter for he too is in the palm of My hand.
Go to your day, My child.
56. You must work hard
March 7, 1998
Write these words, My child.
If all this is to be completed, to be done, you must work hard.
Even the farmer ploughs the field. Even the harvester reaps what he has sown. You My child, know this: Even in the work that I have put in place there is a work for you to do. As these things come before you, put your hand to the task. The day is short, and the children of the Kingdom need to see their way. How can they see the way if it is not shown to them? Look not with your eyes. For they see not what I see. Yes this seems to you to be a small book. And the stories and words within seem to be simple and not great. (the Lord is speaking here of the four at present eBooks that are now on this website this July 2007) But I tell you, the small things of this world are used to bring forth great things.
Do not grieve for he is in the palm of My hand. I have said to you that you bring calamity upon yourself by your actions. Now you see the fruit of your work. Now do not fear for I do not divide that which I have brought together. Yet this shall be for a time. Even you in your grief know this: There are things within you that must leave that I purify this place that is Mine. What has been there for a long time will seem to hurt as it leaves, but know this, My touch brings peace, healing, love; and man is sorely lacking in these things. I am the Great One of Old, the Lord the Giver of Life. Shall I not take that which is Mine? Shall I not bring forth the children of the Kingdom who have wandered far in their search for Me? I tell you, greater love no man has seen that the Creator, the Prince of Peace should lay down His life for His own while they were far from Him. You My child, know this: You are right in your thinking. Continue on your way. The time is short and the Bridegroom calls the children home for the Bride is prepared and they come, they come.
Go to your day, My child.
57. The Spirit is available to all men
March 17, 1998
Write these words, My child.
Those that struggle have not yet found their place in Me. Shall I let go or shall I continue to draw them that they find peace?
My child, there are many who seek to find their own way into the Kingdom. The way is clear yet they are tempted by all types of thinking. Shall I then step aside that they go their own way? Or shall I be before them, a thorn in their side to draw them to Me?
I tell you, this wicked and adulterous generation is the same of old. Yet this is the difference: the Spirit is available to all men.
Yet they seek to find their own way. Yet they try with their own mind to find a way through the heavenly gate. I tell you, I alone hold the key to the Kingdom. Yet I knock on their door. They hear Me yet they try to find another way. Is it not easier to open the door that the King of Glory enter in to take them by the hand? Yet they seek to find their own way. You in your search to find Me opened many doors. Yet there was just one that was needed. Do not hearken to their voices. Only My Voice brings peace.
I am well pleased, My child. Yet know this: The Bridegroom comes to claim His Bride. That she be ready many shall be brought forward to serve her. If they are unwilling, others shall be brought forward. The way is clear. Go to your day, My child.
58. A willing and contrite heart
March 29, 1998
I am well pleased, My child.
Those who are near shall have a taste of what is to come.
Do not worry so about these things. To say you are not any more special is a good thing. To say that you have a special task before you is a good thing. To say to them that theirs is to see and taste of the Kingdom is a good thing. Tell them this: God loves you and would have you hear His Voice. It is He Who sets the time and place and it is He Who speaks. Shall He speak because man has called? Yet I tell you, there are many who in their struggle to hear Me hear Me not. Why is this? I am Lord. Shall I explain My ways to man? Tell them this: All that is needed is a willing and contrite heart. There comes a time when all shall hear: The big and the little. Yet know this: Man hears because it is My desire that he hear. Man hears not because it is My will that this is so. Should man come before Me with a willing and contrite heart, I shall speak. But I know the ways of men. And so I wait. For there comes a time that I shall speak and the nations come forth. It pleases Me to speak to you for you know not of what you are made. Yet I tell you, there is a heart within you that is not of your own making. It is Mine. So if this heart that is within you is My very own, shall you not having My very heart within you, hear the desires of My heart? That you know of what you are made, all these things shall come to pass. The time is short, My child. The Lord of the Harvest comes and a Kingdom awaits the heir to the throne. It is rightfully His. Yet the place must be prepared for the Bridegroom comes.
Go to your day, My child.
59. Job
April 10, 1998
Write these words, My child.
No one in this earth can curse the Lord, for He is Lord and from Him comes all of creation and to Him returns all of creation. If a man curse God, shall he die? Shall he perish? Shall he have coals heaped upon his head? Shall he receive praise?
All comes from the Lord and all returns to Him.
You who hold these things against your Lord, shall He come and speak to you? Shall He comfort you in your pain? Shall He withhold comfort? Shall He even bring more calamity upon your head?
Let us reason together: If this man suffered, was it not to prove him to the Lord? Can your faith increase in peace? Can it grow in times of prosperity? Even the Holy One, the One anointed for the salvation of the world, had to suffer and die. This was not to increase His faith, for He is Faithfulness Itself. Yet in His humanness, He cast Himself upon the Lord God Almighty, Who held His very life in His hands.
You, too, when calamity falls upon you, cast yourself upon the Lord, for He will increase your faith and great will be your joy. Look not to the world for peace for I alone bring peace. All else is fleeting and temporal but the Word of the Lord stands forever. This man in his nakedness and pain knew this deep in his heart. Do you think his suffering was only for him? Or do you in your wisdom see the good in watching another, who in his suffering, shall cast himself on the Lord? That you know the Glory of God, the world watched as the Christ entered into His rest. So too, you watch, as your brother enters into his rest. Watch with each other and pray this word: Lord, increase our faith. Yet know what this Word means: For to increase your faith is to bear up in all circumstance, to cast yourself upon your Lord, and to watch with your brother as each enters into My rest.
Glory to the Lord forever and ever.
60. The throes of childbirth
April 12, 1998
Write these words, My child.
Night and day you are with Me. Do you think this thing depends on your work? If so, all would be in vain. It is by My hand and by My hand alone that this thing comes into being. The whole of mankind is in the throes of childbirth. If I should choose a child of lowly birth to take the Hand of All That Is, what is that to you? Shall you change this? If I in My Glory chose to have My Glory shine forth in one man, the Christ, shall I not in My Glory lead the world to Him by the hand of one who is the lowest of all? When I say this do not be dismayed. Shall you say you are higher than some? Shall you say you are lower? Yet because you know the gravity of your sin, you are brought low. There are those who know not the gravity of their sin, and so they are not convicted in their sin, and so walk not in the high places. Can you go higher if you see not the mountaintop? Yet you see how far you are from your God, and it is the lowest place of all, and this place is the deepest place in the heart. Yet because you are brought low, there I am beside you, for what place is too far, or too deep, or wide, or high from My hand? I then shall raise you up, who are of the lowest estate, and so shall you walk in the heavenlies with Me, and so shall a world come to know the greatness of God, that I in My Glory and Power can be manifest in the smallest and the lowest, and the world shall know the breadth, and height, and depth of My Love, which is given for all generations that have been, that are, and that are to come.
Go to your day, My child. I am well pleased.
61. Stand firm in My Word
May 5, 1998
Write these words, My child.
I am ever beside you, My child.
Do not be dismayed at these things. All these things shall pass. I alone endure. The things of man are fleeting and temporary. Only the Word of the Lord endures. Those who hold to the things of man shall perish. They shall find the day long. If I come in the night with a shout, shall you hear Me? Yes, I tell you, even if I come with a whisper, for I am with you now and you know Me. That they hear Me, I shall come with a trumpet, with a shout and all of heaven shall rejoice. They who sleep shall hear and they who are awake shall hear, and all shall know the Glory of the Lord. Be ready, My child, for the time is near. Do not be swayed by the desires of men for they desire to please themselves. Only do this: Look to Me for I am Eternal and not temporary. I am Eternal and not fleeting. I endure. I do not fade like the grass. Happy are those who are called to My side for I bring life evermore. You, My child, stand firm. Do not be discouraged when men seem to prosper in their ways for I tell you: Many shall rise and many shall fall during this time; but all that is needed is a humble and contrite heart. Hold fast to My Truth and I will do this: I will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun, the justice of your cause like the brightest of stars. Only do this: stand firm in My Word. All else shall fade. All else shall perish. Only I the Lord endure. And those who are with Me have eternal life for I am in them and they are in Me and if that which is temporary and fleeting remain in Me, he shall endure as I endure. He shall never fall as I never fall. He shall have life eternal as I am Life Eternal. Go to your day, My child.
62. A time of preparation
May 7, 1998
Write these words, My child.
Seek My face always. I am ever near. In this time, I would have you rest. Do not strive so to hear Me. I am ever near.
My children come. I see them from afar. You who are with Me, wait. For I see them and know their hearts.
This time is a time of preparation for the children of the Kingdom come home. They seek a place of rest but none can be found. Only in Me is there eternal rest. Let us take this time to prepare the way for them. For the journey has been long, and they need a place to lay their head. Long have they searched and long have they yearned. Yet they looked for Me in places I was not. And so they tire now for their hands have been busy in the world, and all that was needed was their heart. They are empty and do not know it.
You now, prepare the way. For the King of Glory comes with a shout. He comes to bring the children home.
You now, wait with Me. For they come, and all that is needed is a humble heart. You then, wait with Me. I am the Lord Almighty and I come to bring the children home.
Go to your day, My child.
63. There shall be so many
May 15, 1998
Write these words, My child.
A time is coming for you now, a time of rest. I am well pleased, My child. Though you seemed not to be working in this time, you have worked very hard and I am well pleased. Now rest for a while, rest for a time. Then shall I do what I have said I shall do. This people comes before Me even as I speak. You in your doubt shall see this come to pass. There shall be so many, the grains of sand on the earth shall seem small in number. My child, long have I waited to bring forth this word. Long have I waited to bring man forth from the darkness. Come before Me. I am pleased. Now take this time to rest. All these things shall come to pass. I am well pleased. You shall know the way for it shall be clear to you. If I speak in your ear, shall you know when to move? Yes, and this is what you shall see. You shall see a nation come forth. You shall know it is time for you shall hear My Voice in your ear and feel My hand upon you. These things are too hard for you to bear now, but when the time comes, I shall prepare you for I shall be with you and if I am with you, who can be against you?
Rest in this time.
64. A time and a season
March 18, 1998
Write these words, My child.
I am well pleased. This then is the way. There is a time and a season for every activity under heaven. As each new thing comes into being, I will show it to you. For you are of Me and I am not blind in My thinking, so you too will know and not be blinded in your thinking. Come, My child let us reason together.
If the Son of Man came, do you not think that the Father in His Glory revealed to the Son His Glory? So too, as you come forth, I reveal My Glory to you for I am in all things. My child, I would not have you be blind for where is the Glory in this? Yet if you see as I see, you shall see My Glory reflected upon your face, and you shall be glad, for who can withstand the Glory of My Name? Come that all men see this Glory. For it has been hidden over the ages. Yet now in this time it will be revealed and man shall see the Glory of God reflected in the heart of one small child. You, My child, take My hand. Do not fear, yet rejoice. For the King of Glory comes to take His rightful place in the hearts of men and all shall see that the wisdom of the world and the beauty of the world and the riches of the world are naught before the humble heart of one small child. Be brave, my child, for a time is coming that will be hard for many. Yet I am near. There is naught to fear. The King of Glory comes to take His rightful place and all that has been raised before Him shall fall for who can withstand the Glory of the Lord? Come that all may see the mystery hidden throughout the ages: I in man and man alive in Me. And they shall see the abomination they have set before Me. They shall see that their own hearts have been raised up before Me and they who have set themselves in the place that is Mine shall cry out in fear for I come with a sword to heal the nations and this is the Sword, the Word of My mouth and that Word shall come from a place that is small, a place that has been prepared by Me since time began, a place that is Mine. And this is that place: the mouth of a child. And that child is you. Do not fear, My child. Yet know this: It is not you, but I Who speak. It is not you but I Who act. It is not you, but I Who move. Come that you may know the Truth: the heart that is within you is not your own. It is Mine and none can move Me from this place for t is I Who have placed this heart within you. Do not fear yet know that it is because I am within you that these things come against you. Yet know this: I am ever near.
Go to your day, My child.
65. This heart is not of your own making
May 28, 1998
Write these things, My child.
Do you think in your concern to see all these things come to pass that you can sway Me from My task? My child, I have told you that this heart is not of your own making. If you have a thing on your heart that is of Me, shall I not also have this in My heart as this heart is of Me? Do not fear these things so. Do you not think that you will come under criticism for these things? Even the Son of Man could not keep the hearts of men from being filled with hatred because of their own wicked desires. So too shall there be many in opposition to you. As the Son of Man came and they listened not, so too will there be many who come against these words. Yet they are not your words they come against. They are My words they come against. This is not a new thing, yet know this: In this time there are many who shall fall. In this time, there are many who shall cry out. In this time, there are many who shall come forth. Yea, if they turned against the One Who was anointed for the world, shall they not turn against you who are small in the eyes of men? Yet I tell you, this shall be a sign to you: When all is dark and many sleep, there shall be the sound of a trumpet. And the Son of Man shall come with a shout. And the men He shall lead in His train, and the women He shall lead in His train, and the children He shall lead in His train, shall know. One has been given the keys to the Kingdom. One has been shown the secret of the Kingdom. One has been brought forth that many be saved. And in the hand of that one shall be the hand of the Anointed One. I shall take you by the hand and great shall be the Glory as many come forth and I wipe the tears from their eyes and heal them. And Glory shall fill all hearts as man comes to his final rest. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be forevermore. Amen.
Lead the way, My child. The time is near. Do not fear so when you open your mouth to speak, for you speak from the heart of the One that is within you. Do not move to the right or to the left. I the Lord am with you and shall be with you forevermore.
66. This is the time
June 2, 1998
Write these words, My child.
Do you think there needs to be a physical manifestation to know that I am there?
I am within you, My child. When these things come to plague you, still am I near. Nothing can touch you or harm you for you are of Me. Yet there is in this world an evil presence as in the days I walked on this earth. You are plagued for you are of Me. You are plagued yet know this: As the Son of Man walked on this earth, so too was He plagued by the evil one. All are in bondage, yet to know Me is to know the state of humanity. Those who walk in the flesh do not know these things. But the spiritual man, the man who is of Me and in Me and with Me, will have a knowledge of these things for he is in Me and I have a knowledge of these things. Would you not know these things that the Truth would set you free? Or would you be in the darkness and move this way and that according to the spirit that is in the world? My child, do not fear these things. You are free in Me and none can come near My holy mountain. These things are a sign to you that My Spirit is upon you. You are right in your thinking. So too the Son of Man walked on this earth. He knew the evil that was in this world yet not all that is evil know of Him. So too you walk when alive in Me. Wait. The time comes when the battle will be hard. Now is a time of rest. Wait, My child. All these things shall come to pass. There is a time and a season for all activity under heaven. Do not let this time of waiting be tempered with impatience lest you run ahead and become weary before the race begins. Rest and wait in this time.
