HEARKEN UNTO MY WORDS (By Olivia Long)

To My Faithful ones, as I have hearkened unto your words, NOW, My Beloved, IT IS TIME to "Hearken Unto MY Words !!! " Glorious Beloved, MY arm is not shortened, that I cannot save and deliver MY chosen ones, neither am I blind that I cannot see your "trials, tribulations and sufferings" as well as your "rejoicings and blessings". Neither am I deaf that I cannot hear the cries of your heart. My sons and daughters, I see - I hear - and I feel all that you and your brethren are going through and I AM HE, WHO DELIVERS YOU OUT OF ALL YOUR TROUBLES. I AM HE, WHO IS WITH YOU IN THE FIRE. I AM HE, WHO IS WITH YOU IN THE BELLY OF THE FISH. I AM HE, WHO IS WITH YOU IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, AS MY ROD AND MY STAFF PROTECTS AND GUIDES YOU. I AM HE, WHO PREPARES A TABLE BEFORE YOU "IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES." I AM HE, WHO LEADS YOU BESIDE THE STILL WATERS AND INTO THE GREEN PASTURES. I AM HE, WHO RESTORES YOUR SOUL AND I AM HE, WHO LEADS YOU IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR MY NAMES SAKE. AND SURELY ONLY MY GOODNESS AND MY MERCY AND MY UNFAILING LOVE FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.

You are MY faithful ones and I have seen your obedience and I say it is better than sacrifice AND you have sacrificed much to ME in your obedience, therefore you shall reap a hundred fold, says your God, your Lord and your Redeemer. You are as a sweet fragrance unto ME - a fragrance from the blossom of the Rose of Sharon. Yes, My beloved, you are as the flower of the Lily of the Valley, the brightness of My Morning Star and HE shall shine UPON you, IN you and from OUT of you, for you are MINE, BELOVED and I AM YOURS.

The enemy has been bombarding you on every side, with negativity and condemnation .... however .... the enemy is nothing more than "smoke and mirrors." You have tarried and you have waited for the promises that I have given you. You have reached out in your time of waiting TO ME and to the faithful ones that I have sent to you. You continue to seek ME and I have built these attributes in you for MY service. You have been willing vessels to be used by ME and NOW is the time for your hopes and your desires to be fulfilled for I AM moving in you behalf and you WILL go forth on MY BEHALF. It is with much love that I, your God, speak to you this day! I say, O Weary soul, ARISE! ARISE, for it is time to take your place in formation. I am finishing the positioning of My faithful ones in their strategic places and it is time for them to take their place. Behold, I am with you and My hand is upon you. You have waited and waited, and I say, Now is the time...Now is the time ... Preparing the way for the great harvest !

Indeed, My Chosen Ones, you have been in the caves, as I moved David and His men into the caves of Abdullum. But now, you are emerging from the caves, and as I bring you forth, you shall be as one of MY MIGHTY ONES ! You shall do the feats that I did when I walked this earth in MY physical body, BUT you shall do the greater things ! The time is very near when I shall come upon you in "great power and great glory" and you shall be MY living epistles, walking the earth displaying the greatness and glory of ME. Great is your reward, I say, GREAT IS YOUR REWARD because you have heeded and obeyed My Clarion Call to separate yourself unto ME. You will have the measure of faith that I have, you will have MY Spirit and My Faith without measure, for you will be MY corporate body. Remain steadfast in that which I have called you to do and do not grow weary of doing good, lifting up your head, for your redemption does in fact, draw nigh !

Truly, MY presence is upon you. Truly you are encompassed and enclosed with MY love and truly My word is in your mouth and heart and is already going forth and touching hearts and lives that you cannot even begin to comprehend. Words that I have placed within you, and MY Word does not return to ME void, but will accomplish what I intend. Take NO pride in the words going forth from you as they are MY Words but speak what I have placed within you. You are about to enter the promised land that I, your God, have promised you. There are giants in the land, but they shall NOT overtake you, for I have already subdued them. DO NOT fear the giants, for they cannot harm you. Be ready, for you are entering into your promised land.

Always remember, that you are sheltered under MY wings, that you are in the palm of MY hand and that MY angels are surrounding you. I have placed the calling on your life and have (and am) positioning you where you are to be and have given you the words to speak forth - DO NOT allow the scornful to rob you of what I have given you or where I have placed you. AS I instruct you, go forth in what I instruct you to say or do, for I AM with you. HANG ON, for you about to take off, as you see ME do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think. You will stand in awe when I begin to move IN power, such as you have never seen before. You have waited expectantly, though tearfully, but you will begin to see and know the time has come.

Hearken unto My Words, My Beloved, hear them and take them into your spirit for they are life and they are the way. They will lift you up and set your life and your calling into motion, as they also set the universe in motion. Thus far, you have been stepping on the edges, the outer fringes, of your calling, but now it IS TIME to step "INTO" your calling, but a word of caution here, once you do, there is no turning back. I spoke and My Word came into being, likewise, the words that I have spoken to you have the same power... Each word will be accomplished because it has come to pass, it has NO choice, for I have spoken it and it must obey. You have longed for and long awaited for My promises to come to pass. With My right arm, I am bringing you 'into your place' that I have promised you and bringing about blessings you will not be able to contain. You WILL see what I AM doing and revelations will come to you. YOU ARE MINE, MY BELOVED AND I AM YOURS AND NONE shall take you from MY hand, for I have consecrated you and I have sanctified you with MY BLOOD and the washing of the water of My Word. I AM your deliverer and you shall stand with ME. The proclamation is going forth to MY Faithful, MY chosen, for this is the day, this is the hour that you have been long waiting for and that I have purposed for you. Be ready and expectant of the great outpouring of My Spirit upon you, as I call you forth. Stay on track, do not waver in your call. I have much for you to accomplish so seek ME daily, seek MY face and seek MY heart. I have a special plan that only you can fulfill, do not abort it, but allow it to come forth. Hold close, the 'special ones' that I have linked you with, for I have placed them in your life to uplift and encourage you and to share the revelations that I have given to each of you. This is a new day and a new season and you will see your vision and your desires being manifested right before your eyes. You will stand in amazement and awe for it is "now." HEARKEN UNTO MY WORDS ....
