Don’t Look Back

    Do not look backwards at places where you failed, but have faith in Me that the future will be a better one.

   None on earth have ever attained to My Glory and they never will. Your perfection lies in your obedience to Me and humility before your fellow man.

   Humility is rare in the earth and brings the greatest blessings from Me. Walk in humility and see My hand of blessing in your life like never before.

1 Peter 5:6-8

·         6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

·         7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

·         8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Philippians 3:13

·         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,

Luke 9:62

·         62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Isaiah 43:18-19

·         18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

·         19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

New Places

   You have known I have a special path for you.

    I will now make changes in your life to place you on the path of My choosing. You will not enjoy all of the changes I make, but flow with these changes, do not fight against them, and I will delight you.

   Where I am taking you is a destination to which you have never been. It was created for only you, but you must be ready by submitting to My Will over your own.

   Walk in submission by living in My Ways and I will take you there.

1 Peter 5:6-9

·         6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

·         7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

·         8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

·         9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Psalm 32:8-9

·         8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

·         9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Complaining

   You have complained much to Me about your current state of affairs, but have you looked into My Word to see what I have provided for you there?

   Why do you stay stuck when I have already made a way for you? Many of My children spend hours a day complaining to Me to fix what I have already provided a remedy for.

   Before you complain to Me, be sure you have exhausted all I have provided for you in My Word, for it is complete.

Numbers 11:1-4

·         11 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

·         2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.

·         3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.

·         4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

James 1:2-4

·         2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

·         3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

·         4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Isaiah 43:16

·         16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

Consider Your Thoughts

    Consider your thoughts this day. Your thoughts are not what I desire they would be.

   Monitor your thoughts today and let Me lead you to higher thoughts. Your life will be greatly blessed and all you do will be improved if you will allow Me to do this work in you.

Proverbs 4:23

·         23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Obstacles on Your Path

   You are going the right way, but obstacles have appeared on your path. These obstacles were not sent by Me, but are from the enemy of your soul.

   Let Me guide you in wisdom how to overcome each one that we may continue this journey together, for they are temporary things.

Psalm 5:8

·         8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

Psalm 32:8-9

·         8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

·         9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Matthew 17:20

·         20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Where I Am Leading You

   Look at the direction I am leading you. If you will look, you will see it is a good place, there is nothing to fear.

    Follow Me, and be at peace.

    If you resist My plan, you will become entangled in the plan of the enemy for your destruction. Choose life, and be blessed forevermore.

Psalm 32:8-9

·         8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

·         9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Paths You have Not Known

   The world around you groans for My soon return. Sin is a weighty matter and the weight of it will become too much for the world to bear.

   I am taking you now by a path you have not known before. I am teaching you about My glorious self, about My ways, and about My love for you. Rest in Me as we travel this path, for the result will be good.

Hebrews 12:1

·         12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

·         22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

·         5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Psalm 32:8-9

·         8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

·         9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Enjoy the Peace

    Enjoy the peace around you today, for peace shall soon be taken from the world.

    I have given you peace at this time that you may refresh yourselves in it.

    My Presence is the ultimate peace, yet so few of My children seek it, seeking instead the peace of the world. The peace of the world cannot sustain you in times to come, My precious ones. 

Colossians 3:15

·         15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Matthew 10:34-36

·         34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

·         35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

·         36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household

Isaiah 26:3

·         3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Revelation 6:4

·         4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Removing You from Situations

   I am taking you out of situations that are not My will for you. For some, they were My will in the past but are no longer. Others never were.

   I have planted a seed of greatness inside you, and I desire this greatness to grow. The enemy has placed wrong people around you to set a snare for you and prevent you from reaching your great calling in Me.

Proverbs 16:9

·         9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Acts 13:2

·         2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

Time of Reckoning

   Deception abounds. Those who have sown evil for many years will now face new circumstances that will strip them of many of My blessings. Because they have not honored Me or served Me, I will remove My blessings from them.

   They have neither thanked Me, nor given Me the credit due Me for these great blessings, but have credited their own wisdom, and their own hands.

   I will now show them I am the Lord, and beside Me there is no other. This is My time of reckoning for them.

Isaiah 3:9-11

·         9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

·         10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

·         11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

Proverbs 11:1-6

·         1 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.

·         2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

·         3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

·         4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

·         5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

·         6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

Remain Calm

   Your feet are going in the right direction, but there are thoughts in your heart that do not please Me.

   I will now arrange circumstances that you may see the truth of what is in your heart.

   Remain calm as I do this, and you will be blessed mightily. Trust Me.

Proverbs 3:5-7

·         5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

·         6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

·         7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

The World's System is About to Fail

   I am about to lead many of My people into faith walks. They are going to need this knowledge for the future.

   This is My desire, My people, that you would pay heed to My Word, for I have told you how to walk by faith and not by sight in My Word in many places. The world’s system is about to fail and you will not be ready if you do not learn this.

   This will be an intricate journey for you, for you have acclimated to the world you live in to survive, so you know the ways of the world, but you do not know My ways.

   I desire you would learn of My Ways. Then, when this change begins, you need not panic as others will surely do all around you. I have very specific ways of providing for My people when they walk by faith in Me, and I never let them down.

   I will begin to move some of My People into faith walks before the end of this year.

   Stay calm. Do not panic. Do not fear, but trust Me if you are one of these people. Know that I am your loving Father, that I do nothing without cause, that I am always working for your higher good, and that I will provide for you. I will  protect you and take care of you.

NOTE: When the Lord said the world’s system is about to fail and you will not be ready if you do not learn this, I saw all the industries of the world and retails, etc., like a big machine running on high speed.

NOTE: When the Lord said I will begin to move some of My People into faith walks before the end of this year, I saw job losses coming.

Psalm 119:105

·         105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Deuteronomy 8:2

·         2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

2 Corinthians 5:7

·         7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Proverbs 3:5-7

·         5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

·         6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

·         7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Which Way

   You face a fork in the road. Two choices lay before you, and you are unsure which one is the path to take. One road is the path of your own way and the other is the pathway of faith.

  I adjure you to take the pathway of faith. Let me guide you in the way that is right, and the way that prepares you for your future. Your way cannot teach you what you need to know to survive all that will happen in your future, but My Way will. I can teach you what you need to know until it becomes second nature to you, My Child.

   Walk with Me on the pathway of faith. You know what I am asking you to do. Go through the door, and follow Me.

Deuteronomy 7:9

·         9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Hebrews 10:23

·         23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Hebrews 10:38

·         38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Chaos will Enter Everything

   In this age, you will witness much chaos. Chaos will enter into everything around you as the spirit of this age reigns over the earth. Chaos will enter into governments, it will enter into weather, it will enter into media, it will enter into My people.

   My people, it is not My Will that this spirit enter into you. I desire you would not enter into the chaos you observe in your world, but remain separated from it, that I may keep you safe and protected.

   Remain in My peace. Rest in the knowledge that I have My hand on you. You are not of the world around you, so do not fear. Soon you will be home with Me.

Isaiah 41:28-29

·         28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

·         29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

John 17:14-16

·         14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

·         15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

·         16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

1 Peter 3:10-11

·         10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

·         11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

Philippians 4:6-7

·         6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

·         7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Rejoice Each Day

   Though no path looks clear to you now, I will make the way known to you. I will go before you and make crooked paths straight. My children often walk crooked paths when they fall into sin, but I am able to lead you on to paths of righteousness for My Name’s sake.

   You live in a glorious time on the earth, My children, and you will witness many things men of old desired to see. Rejoice that you are seeing history unfold, as it was prophesied long ago. Rejoice that your redemption from earth is drawing near.

   Rejoice in Me, and enjoy each day I give to you.

Isaiah 45:2

2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

Isaiah 59:8

8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Philippians 4:4-7

4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Rest in Me and Be at Peace

   You have made recent changes and you now find yourself unsure whether you made the right decisions. 

   Allow Me to guide you through these uncertain times. You have not made wrong decisions this time, but your path will not always be easy in this time. Many obstacles appear now before My people as the enemy’s attacks have grown more intense.

   Fear not, for I am able to guide you through total darkness, I can surely guide you through these days.

   Rest in Me, and be at peace.

Psalm 119:105

·         105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psalm 23:1-3

·         1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

·         2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

·         3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Vision of People Running

   Saturday evening I had a brief open vision.

   I wasn't thinking about anything or praying, although I had been praying the past 24 hours very fervently for the protection of President-Elect Trump and his family, as I have had a bad feeling that he was not going to live until Inauguration Day, and that it would be an inside job.

   So I was relaxing for a few minutes Saturday evening petting one of my dogs, and just not thinking about anything when a vision opened up.

   I saw an outline of the United States, and  I saw the people everywhere looking very lost and afraid, like they were in a panic and they did not know what to do. I could see they did not know which way to run (not sure why they wanted to run). They would start to go one way and then stop and turn another way, like they were looking for a safe place to hide or something. And a wave of grief hit my spirit. It was very sad.

   I could not see what had happened, but the whole U.S. was afraid, whatever it was.

   I did not look at the extreme NW (Seattle and surrounding area) or the extreme NE (New York and surrounding area), so I could not say what was going on in those areas, but everyone else across the United States was really afraid and for some reason, they seemed to be trying to find a place to run to.

Prophesy

   I speak to you now to use your words for good.

   Use your voice and prophesy to your life, prophesy to your body, prophesy to your relationships!

   Prophesy those things you desire, and watch as I bring many of them to pass, according to My will. Prophesy to the heavens, prophesy to the earth.

   Use your voice to bring change for the good. I have created you in My image.

Genesis 1:27

• 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Proverbs 18:21

• 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Luke 6:45

• 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Anticipate My Return

   You never expected you would live to see such a time as this, and yet I tell you truly, many others have desired to see this time, to see the end of all things approaching.

   It is a joyous time, but a time that will be filled with grievous events.

   If you will keep your mind stayed on Me, it will pass easily. It is seeing these events through My Eyes that will make them bearable.

   You must remember, My children, that I cannot return for you until scripture is fulfilled. You are seeing the fulfillment in anticipation of My return. Look up, your redemption truly draws nigh.

Matthew 13:17

• 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Isaiah 26:3

• 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Matthew 26:54

• 54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

Luke 21:28

• 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Release It

   Pray, trust and obey. This is what I desire of you.

   I desire prayer – that you would bring your requests to Me, instead of trying to solve everything on your own. I desire you would release the requests to Me and then obey what I lead you to do that I may bring your answers. My children, you have prayed to Me, but you are not trusting Me to answer.

   Release your request to Me and allow Me to show you My faithfulness now.

Proverbs 3:5-7

• 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
• 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
• 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

1 Peter 5:7

• 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Philippians 4:6

• 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Matthew 6:34

• 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Against My Design

   My children, the enemy desires to remove My Image from the earth. He has made assignments against My Image in every possible way that are coming to pass now. It is up to you to defeat these assignments in your life. I created male and female, I created woman as a help meet for man. I created all the world for you to enjoy, but he is attacking My design and attempting to change it.

   There are designs and inventions coming in the future that are against My design and against My Will and you must watch for them and avoid them, for they are very grievous to Me. Do not be a part of his plan of destruction.

NOTE:  I feel this is related to some kind of DNA change here, but I feel this is more than that – I think something evil is being born that will look like technology – something alien – to be injected into us??? I don’t know if it is alien to our bodies or straight up alien here. (This sounds crazy to even think, but that is what I am getting.)

The development of this is top secret, behind the scenes. I think it is something that in the end makes us controllable. This technology will come with a big happy promise like no more sickness, or no cancer, no aging, instant beauty or immortality or something like that, but it will cast those who take it into a type of hell on earth like nothing they have ever known.

The key here is it will be something that is against God’s original design in His Holy Word. This may be the mark. The mark may not be what we think, the mark may be a new technology that promises us goodness, but delivers evil into our veins.  Whatever this is, I feel strongly once you take it, you can’t ever undo it.

Watch for news of this “technology advance.” It promises eternal youth or beauty or wellness, something like that, and it will be very, very tempting because what it offers is something we will all want in that time. Those who do not take it will be considered inferior and “behind the times,” and those who have it vs. those who do not will be obvious. The devil means to use a LOT of peer pressure to sell us this one.

1 Peter 5:8

• 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

2 Timothy 3:1-5

• 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
• 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
• 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
• 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
• 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

1 Timothy 4:1

• 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Genesis 1:27

• 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 2:18

• 18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Psalm 106:29

• 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

Psalm 99:8-9

• 8 Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
• 9 Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

Psalm 106:39

• 39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

Distractions and Destructions

   Distract, deploy, destruction. That is the enemy’s plan for you. He distracts with other events, with other things on your mind. He deploys what will bring destruction into your life, and when you receive it, he employs destruction and his plan succeeds.

   In this Age of Chaos, you must get very good at detecting the distractions he is sending. You must stop him before he deploys and brings destruction into your life, or you will be devoured. This is why you must keep your focus on Me.

   Practice focusing on Me and you will step into a closeness with Me like nothing you have ever known before. I am allowing My children who seek Me great intimacy with Me as they do this. This is a time of visitations and I am visiting some of you to impart gifts that you may serve in My Kingdom in these end times.

   If you cannot focus on Me, how can I employ you in My Kingdom in these end times?
