As the children of the Most High God we have found the Holy Spirit sifting through our hearts and revealing to us, and maybe even to the world around us, what has been hidden in our hearts but laid bared before Him for all time. There is such a force beginning to come forth in the spirit, and the impact will change our lives and the world as a whole. That force is His Holiness.

Beloved, we are children of light that have allowed areas in our hearts to fellowship with darkness. Our Lord is holy and has nothing to do with darkness. We know that, but the practicing of lawlessness still colors our lives.

We are coming quickly into the time of great fellowship with our Lord. A time the world has not seen because there is now coming a magnitude of His Spirit that is already starting to flow over those who have consecrated their hearts and lives to Him. Not a perfect Bride but a set apart Bride. Ones with oil in their lamps!

We come not because of our love, for our concept of love is still so dark compared to His and we are still coming into the knowledge of what love really is, but because He is the one whom loves our soul! When we come to Him with all of our hearts we have the capacity to ravish His heart! With one look of our eyes turned towards Him, we are able to transport and flood His heart with the love He so longs to share with us. Can we truly comprehend how He longs for us, and waits for the time He'll be calling us to join Him at the marriage supper of the Lamb?

By His Holy Spirit He is pouring over the details of our hearts to prepare us for a flooding of His Spirit that through us, He'll touch this world with His love, purity, righteousness, compassion and healing. Yes the miracles are coming in a greater measure and signs and wonders will turn the eyes of this world upon the Body of Christ and see her as she was meant to be portrayed. Glorious and full of His righteousness. But the lawlessness and carnality that has so been the face we have shown the world must be repented of and rejected, for it has nothing to do with who we are. Living temples of the Most High God.

This year that we have entered into, will be marked with the beginning of the mighty move of God that we have been waiting for. It will come through the compassion of the church that has fallen in love once again with her Shepherd and Beloved whom loves her soul! A Bride who has set aside her own identity and has taken up fully the identity of her Bridegroom! A Bride who has found that the lust of the flesh and pride of this world truly lead to death and life is only found in Jesus Christ.

If these last few months have been a time of trial and shaking in your life, be encouraged and rejoice for you are being prepared to house more of Him and show forth His glory in these last days! Let go once and for all of the sins that so easily ensnare you. He truly is the author and finisher of your faith. Believe Him. Trust Him. Rest in Him. Fall in love with the one whom loves your soul. Come to Him out of His love for you and He will teach you of His ways, compassion and love. Only He can teach you, and it will come out of the heart He will give you that will beat with His love. We will see through His eyes and touch lives out of the compassion of His heart. And out of our bellies the world will finally see flow rivers of living water!

Great Grace!
