Be Willing

   My children, conditions have changed in your atmosphere and changes are coming in your world.

   Gird up, not all the changes are good, some are very bad.

   I implore you to become very flexible now and be ready to move at a moment’s notice, should I speak to you to do so. Be willing to move, no matter where I send you, for only I know where the safe places are, and where you can bear the most fruit for My Kingdom in these end times.

   Be obedient, regardless of the circumstances, for in some cases, your very life will depend upon your obedience. I cannot protect you if you will not obey.

   Be willing.                                     

Isaiah 1:19

• 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Exodus 12:11

• 11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover.

Philippians 4:11-13

• 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
• 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
• 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Submit to My Strength

   My children, my strength is made perfect in your weakness. When you are so weak you will submit fully to Me, that is when I can do the greatest miracles in your life.

   So many of My children want this or that miracle, but they get in the way of their own blessings. I will not fix a problem that you are trying to fix yourself, you must release it to Me. It is like a journey – we are either going your way, or we are going Mine. You choose.

   In 2017, I am giving many of My children the opportunity to believe me in new ways. Challenges shall present themselves in your lives that require a new level of faith, faith in a new area that you have not fully believed in before. These challenges are just that – to challenge you, not to defeat you. Do not believe the enemy’s lies that you are being destroyed, but believe Me to do all I desire to do in your life, and be blessed.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

• 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.

Hebrews 11:1

• 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

1 Corinthians 9:24

• 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

                                                

Opportunities

   2017 will be a year of change for My people. I am moving many of you strategically where you can bear more fruit for My Kingdom. Do not allow these opportunities to waste before you (I saw He meant the opportunities to bear more fruit), for I have many blessings for those willing to obey Me in all things.

   You have asked Me for happiness, for jobs, for security. Find your security in Me. Work at the job I have given you and do everything as unto Me in this time. Your happiness comes in being content in Me and in your salvation, (regardless of) whether you abase or abound. Those unwilling to humble themselves will find their way difficult.

   If you are unwilling to go where I send you, if you are unwilling to do the work I set before you, if you are unwilling to abide where I wish for you to dwell because of pride, you will find your way very difficult, for how can I bless those who are unwilling?

   I gave all for you out of My great love for you. If you refuse Me, know this, that you forfeit many blessings, many relationships and much joy and happiness. Your way will bring you grief, though you know it not.

   Seek My way, walk in My ways for you, and be free of the world’s measures of success. I am all you need. 

Proverbs 13:15

• 15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

James 4:6

• 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

1 John 2:15-17

• 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
• 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
• 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

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.

Be Willing and Believe

   My children are in a quandary about what to do. I have given you leadings, but you know not where. Some of you know not how you will arrive to your destinations.

   My children, you must remember that any detail I give to you, the enemy also is privy to. I do these things to protect you. I allow you to strengthen your faith as you wait on more details, all the while asking you, Do you believe in Me?

   Do you really believe? Do you really believe Me to provide for you, not only details, but what you need to do as I have called you to do? To go where I am sending you in My Name? This is how you will know if you really believe, if you remain willing, obedient and ready to do all I say to you.

   Be ready. Be willing to go no matter where I send you. Be obedient in all you do, and exceedingly obedient, because that is your survival in these times.

   Have faith. According to your faith, it shall be unto you.                                               

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:

Isaiah 1:19-20

• 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
• 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Matthew 9:29

• 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

New Faith

   Watch Me now as I grow your faith to new levels you never dreamed.

Note: Just as the Lord began to speak that, I saw a hot air balloon being inflated and then it floated up and up and up into a beautiful sky.

   I have plans for you that you have never considered. I desire your faith would encompass a much larger horizon as I see it, as I have far more for you to accomplish than what you are believing for now. I have far greater rewards than you have ever considered, than what you believe are coming to you now. I wish to exalt you to far greater heights than you have dreamt of.

   Come, walk with Me now and let us reason out this great thing I am doing in your life. Follow My leading and be rich in spiritual blessing, be rich in life experiences as you minister for Me, as you walk with Me, as you walk in all I have willed for you.

   Draw closer to Me, that I may speak My will to you and you may walk in it each day.                                               

James 4:8

• 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 11:1

• 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

1 Corinthians 2:4-9

4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
