Where Am I?

You say I am first in your life, but where do I come first with you, My child?

Am I first in your time? I see you working, I see you spending time with your friends. I see you plan your off time, and I am nowhere among your plans. You make time for family, friends, coworkers, but where is the time for your Lord?

I see you plan your finances – your obligations, your fun, your recreations, even gifts to others, but where am I in your finances?

I see your busy thoughts about so many things, all throughout the days, but there are few truly about Me. Where am I among your thoughts?

Who is it you really serve with all that concerns you, My child?

Who is really your Lord?

Choose you this day whom you will serve. 

Matthew 22:37: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Proverbs 3:6: 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Joshua 24:15: And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

The Path

There are many distractions on your path, My child. Learn to ignore what is not of Me, that you may come up higher, that you may dwell closer to Me, bask in My Presence, receive more of My gifts.

The way is not difficult, but it requires focus. Focusing on what is not of the world, focusing on what I did for you.

You are each very precious to Me, and I long for all My children to be here with Me. Soon you will be.

Focus on Me and stay on the righteous path. I will make you so glad you did – in My Presence, there is fullness of joy.

(I saw in the spirit a man walking, alongside Jesus, and they were talking. Then the man was distracted by a beautiful flower bush on the roadside, and he stopped to admire it. Jesus kept on walking, and speaking. When the man turned back to the path, Jesus was no longer in his sight. I think what I was shown means that God is always on the move, and we must also keep moving.)

Psalm 16:11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Philippians 3:12-14:

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Your Circumstances

So often, My children pray for Me to remove difficulties from their lives, not realizing why they are there.

You have prayed many times, My child, for Me to change your circumstances. I have allowed the circumstances to try your faith, that you may come forth as gold. I have allowed the conditions to continue that you may prosper in it.

I have allowed what you do not desire to give you new desires.

Herein lies the answer you seek of Me. I desire you would see through circumstances with new eyes, through My eternal perspective, in terms of My Kingdom.

There is no replacement, no other way I can give you these gifts I desire you have.

(I saw in the Spirit a very small child, crying fitfully. It wanted something very badly. It’s father was trying to give it what it wanted, but through its tears, the child could not see clearly and did not realize what was being offered was what it wanted. At last it saw the gift, and the crying stopped.)

Malachi 3:3: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

2 Cor. 12

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Psalm 37:4: Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Backward

The enemy seeks to turn your focus backward , so you will not be properly prepared for what lies ahead.

(I saw in the spirit that by backward, He meant towards things, people, or activities in our past.)

Focus on each new day as it arrives. Do not wish for the things or people from your past. Know that I have provided all you need for now, and keep your focus on the joy of your salvation, of your walk with Me. And I will lead you on.

Now, more than ever, My children need to walk closely with Me. The end of this age approaches and only I can protect you, for only I know what is coming. I am the Lord.

Luke 9:62: And Jesus said unto him, “No man, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

Psalm 35:9: And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

More of Me

Do you want more of Me, My child? Then give Me more of you.

Make My Presence your greatest desire and goal. Not your job, your family, your status, but Me.

Those who put Me first will quickly reap the rewards. Make Me first in your heart, your thoughts, in all you do.

Come close, My child, and know Me. You must draw closer to Me, to My Word, into My Presence. I am not difficult to find, but few of My children take the time to seek Me, preferring their idle pleasures.

I will give you as much of Me as you want, but it is you who must draw near. I am always here.

James 4:8: Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Hebrews 11:6: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Love Your Enemies

Remember to love your enemies. As you return good and love for their evil, they will feel conviction, and you shall reap rewards.

As you walk in the earth doing My will, obeying what I have commanded, your circumstances shall change for the better.

First, I desire you would change.

Strive to walk in My ways, so I may bless you, My child.

This is the answer you have prayed for.

Matthew 5:43-48:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ...

Psalm 23:5: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Love One Another

Love one another while there is time, My children. My greatest commandment to you is to love others as you love yourself. Give while there is time, that your reward in heaven and  on earth may be great.

I desire that your joy may be full, both on the earth, and in heaven with Me. Your home here with Me is filled with joy, and praise, and so many blessings for you!

What you do not see is that I desire your life on earth would also be full of joy and blessings. If you walk in love, if you obey as I command, it shall be.

John 13:34-35:

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Romans 12:10: Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Matthew 6:20: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

3 John 1:2: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

1 Corinthians 13

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: 

First

My children must look inside. Inside themselves, for what is going wrong in their lives. Many of you have sinful thoughts and attitudes you have ignored for years.

Is your heart filled with pride? Or religious pride? Or lust or greed? Unbelief?

How can I bless you when this is so? You will find the answer in My Word, in spending time with Me – real time, not a few minutes a day.

Do not forget Me, My children.

I must be first in your lives. I want the first of your time, the first of your thoughts, to be first in your heart, first in all you do.

I AM the Lord.

1 Cor. 11:31-32:

31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Matthew 15:18-19

18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Proverbs 3:6: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Exodus 6:8: And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord.

Align Your Life

A joyful time approaches for My obedient children. Those of you who strive to do all according to My will shall enter your land of promise with exceedingly great joy. You shall enjoy the rewards of your labor, your persistence, and your travail.

Many of you shall suddenly see loved ones you have travailed over in prayer for decades suddenly give their hearts and lives to Me. Some of you shall be raised from obscurity to great fame. Others to great wealth for your continued generosity to My Kingdom. Many who have believed Me for healing shall be well. You shall awaken one morning and no longer have any ails! Loved ones will come home, relationships shall be restored.

If you will only align your life with My will, My children, I will make your dreams come true. If you will put Me first – TRULY put Me first, and consider My will in all things. If you will place what I want from you before your will and wants, all you desire can be yours, and more.

I alone can give you the life of peace, and joy, and abundance you now seek in your own efforts.

Matthew 25:21: His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Ephesians 3:20: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Luke 15:18-23

18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

Matthew 6:33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:19-21:

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Luke 6:38: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

The Battle Begins

Man your posts, My great warriors! For the time has come to fight for what is rightfully yours!

I have given you much in My Word, but many of you do not yet understand how to receive My gifts.

1. Believe. You must believe Me to receive what I have for you.
2. Pray. I desire constant communication with My children in all things.
3. Understand. You must seek and study for understanding of what you are praying for.
4. You must fight and take what is yours, just as the Israelites did.

Without faith, it is impossible to please Me. I desire you would start there. Do you REALLY believe I will do what you ask of Me? Really believe?

Do not pray once and walk away, but sit in My Presence – talk to Me, commune with Me, praise Me, worship me. Spend time with Me! I cannot be an afterthought to you, I AM the Lord!

Do you truly understand what you are asking Me for, and what may come with it into your life? 

Can you carry the load? Do not be hasty, My child, to answer this, but ponder and meditate, for I am willing to give you much, but you must be able to bear it, and all it entails. Ask Me for understanding about your request of Me. Ask Me to show you.

Are you ready to do battle, My child? For you stand at the threshold of the Promised Land, but all My children who are called there must fight the enemy to enter.

Are you ready to do battle for Me?

Impossible Things

My children, nothing shall be impossible to Me. I AM a mighty and a glorious God. I created all that you see around you, and much more you have yet to see.

With your human understanding, it is difficult for you to believe for impossible things. So few of My people believe, truly believe, Me to do miracles that little of My great power is seen in the earth, but I desire much of it would be seen. I desire that miracles would be as common place now in your time as they were when My Son Jesus walked among you and performed them.

How is it you say you believe My Word, yet you do not believe Me to do these things? I change not, My people. I, your God, have not changed. What has changed is the faith of My people. (I heard great, great sadness when He spoke this!)

Study My Word – believe My Word, that My power may be seen among you! In this way will many souls be added to My Kingdom before the end comes.

Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Luke 1:37: For with God nothing shall be impossible.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Malachi 3:6: For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Matthew 13:58: And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

2 Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Never Ashamed

My people, I AM a just God. Does My Word not say the foundations of My Throne are righteousness and justice?

Whenever My enemy steals from one of My children, I already have a plan to get back for you what was taken.

For My people shall never be ashamed!

Only believe. Restoration is yours!

Psalm 89:14: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. (ESV)

Mark 5:36: As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

Marvelous Ways

Some of My children doubt Me when it comes to restoring what My enemy has taken from them, but My Word is true.

I shall restore to you what the enemy has ripped from your arms. I shall restore the finances you have lost. I shall restore even those things you do not remember are yours.

Yours (your part) is to trust Me.

Stand still and watch, for I AM a glorious God, who works in marvelous ways as I watch over you!

Joel 2:25-26:

25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

2 Chronicles 20:17: Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
