I Desire To Be Involved

I would that My people would follow Me more closely, know Me more personally, walk with Me as Adam did in the cool of the evening, talking with Me.

If you will treat Me as your friend, I will walk with you as a friend does. I desire to be involved in every part of your days, My children, for I am not a God who is far from you, but the God who dwells in your very heart so I can be near you. Yet so many of you think of Me as though I am far away from you and not involved in your lives.

Draw nigh to Me in your hearts and I will draw nigh to you, My children. Let us walk hand in hand through your days so I may comfort you in your troubles.

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.

Genesis 3:8: And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

John 15:14: Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. (ESV)

 

NOTE: I believe God is saying that He is involved in our lives as far as He is aware of every tiny detail of our days, but so often we don’t ask Him for His opinion or ask Him for help with the smaller things, thinking He does not want to be a part of those things, only the “big” things. But if you are a parent, you care about every tiny detail of your children’s lives, no matter how small it is. He is the same way, even more so, because He knows our every thought.

Steel Yourselves

A most serious time approaches for all of My people. The enemy of your souls, My enemy, comes to take over all the world, My children. You will have no power against him and I will not be able to answer most of your prayers against him in that time.

Though many of you will be here with Me then, some of you will be left in the earth to undergo further refining. You must steel yourselves against what is coming.

Set your mind and your heart to cling to your faith above all else. No matter the circumstances, do not deny Me; To do so will cost you your soul.

Psalm 37:4-6

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Romans 8:28 - 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Psalm 9:10 - 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Psalm 28:7 - 7 The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Psalm 46:10 - 10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

If They Exalt Themselves

I have told you I am raising up leaders to lead My people in what is coming and I am.

Be aware, children, that many will seek to present and raise up themselves for these tasks but they are wholly unqualified. They seek glory for themselves. They seek to be esteemed as My Servant Moses who led My people long ago.

Choose carefully who you will follow in this time, for your very life depends on it as well as the lives of those with you. Follow only those who exalt only Me. If they exalt themselves, turn away.

Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

1 Timothy 4:12 - Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Philippians 2:3 - Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Luke 22:24-27

²⁴ And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

²⁵ And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

²⁶ But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

²⁷ For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

John 13:12-15

¹² So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Mark 10:42-45

⁴² But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

⁴³ But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

⁴⁴ And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

⁴⁵ For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

John 10:10-15

¹⁰ The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

¹² But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

¹³ The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

¹⁴ I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

¹⁵ As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

1 Peter 5:1-8

⁵ The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

² Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

³ Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

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:

Exodus 18:21

²¹ Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

I Am Raising Up Leaders

In this time, I am raising up leaders for the way ahead. I am raising up those who will lead My people in righteousness, no matter the cost. I am raising up those who will lift My Name high, and not seek to exalt their own.

I am raising up those leaders who are willing to sacrifice, even to their own lives, for the people they are leading.

The way ahead will soon become fraught with danger and only the strongest will survive for any length of time. Only the strongest in Me are qualified to lead them for My glory.

Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

1 Timothy 4:12 - Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Rewards

Many of My children have struggled through difficult season after difficult season with little joy and no reward.

But I have seen your struggles and I have watched as you learned valuable lessons for the way ahead. I have seen how you have remained faithful in those difficult times and each time, a reward was set aside for you.

Now My children are entering the time of their rewards. 

Watch now, children, as I answer long standing prayers for you. Watch as I bring you things you never thought to enjoy. Watch as I reward your faithfulness again and again and again with rewards you thought were only for later.

Ask Me now for what you desire most of all and see what I will do for you.

Psalms 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Galatians 6:9 - And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Ephesians 6:8 - Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.

Jeremiah 17:10 - I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.
