"Beloved, the turmoil in your lives, while many yell, shout, and scream at the evil one for it and express faith in faith hoping that what they are experiencing will simply stop, there are many, many more who see and understand the refining ways of the Lord! The shaking is a mighty shaking both in quality and in quantity. Many, many are being shaken to the very core of their being and everything they cherish and hold dear, everything from belief systems, to idols in their lives are all being exposed to My holy fire!

THE HEAT IS ON!

"Beloved ones, do not despair for the blast of the heat and the white of the flame increases and as it does, you are being refined! The heat exposes what is not of Me to the holy fire of My presence and it melts away before Me! Nothing can stand in My presence that is not of Me! Beloved, ALL of your sins, ALL of your hurts, ALL of the hindrances and obstacles, ALL these are being consumed by My holy fire! I am purifying the Bride and I am restoring her to the point that her holiness will surpass her former glory! The greater the heat, the richer the purification! The richer the purification, the sweeter the intimate fellowship with the Father!

THE REORDERING OF PRIORITIES!

"Beloved ones, the fire, the heat, the intense internal struggles and the warfare in your hearts and minds, it is ALL for reordering the priorities in your lives! Many are busy being busy! Many are involved in so many activities that they forget to "live the life" and simply do what they know they ought to do. They reduce the abundant life to a life of works! They reduce intimacy to cold formality! They the love to mere obedience!

"Beloved, flee from those things that so easily entangle you, INCLUDING the obsession to DOING stuff! Beloved, the doing, the accomplishing of My will in your lives is MY work, not yours! Do not rely on your own strength, but rely upon Me! Come and REST in Me, and find that place that I have for you.

EMBRACING THE LORD OF THE SABBATH REST!

"Beloved, I call upon you to enter into your rest, and I AM that place of rest. You shall only be able to rest, when you rest IN Me! Come, and draw near, and I will lift off of you the heavy yoke! I will remove your burdens, and your heavy responsibilities! I will bear them for you. if you release them to Me!

"I am the Lord of the Sabbath rest! Come and sit at My feet, and rest, and give Me your labour and your burdens, and I will give you My rest! Come and sit at My feet, and I will pour My love upon you and renew you and strengthen you! I shall wash you with the waters of My Spirit! Come and embrace the Lord of the Sabbath rest! Come for I am desiring to embrace you and heal you up! Come, I am waiting for you!"
