Listen closely to what I have to say to you. For there are many who believe that if they only search to find Me with all their heart, that they will be able to escape the great tribulation that is prepared for those who deny that I am the only begotten Son of God. But this is not true. It takes more that just searching to find Me, and it takes more than just confessing that you know Me to have a relationship with Me. Yes, you need to search to find Me with all your heart, but you must stay in My presence and commune with Me when you find Me.

Seek, knock and ask, and believe you receive when you ask, and thank Me for the answer before you see it, for this is true faith. Waver not in doubt and unbelief when it looks like everything is getting worse. Things might look like they are turning for the worse, but this is the lie of the evil one seeking to destroy your faith.

So cast down the vain imaginations that try to distract you from trusting in Me, and keep your eyes on My promise to you. Yes, I will bring it to past, but the enemy will not let go without a fight. So stand strong in faith believing in every word that I have given you. Press in on the evil one and take your land. Even though he might try to retaliate, stand firm believing and you will see My promise brought to past in your life.

Once again I am calling you to My side to stand strong and boldly proclaim the victory no matter what you see. Seek My wisdom in all things, and do nothing out of the motivation of fear. Walk in faith in all things for there will come a day when you will not have the arm of the flesh to turn to. Be careful in all your decisions and make sure they are of Me, for I use all situations to prepare you for the future. So do not be hasty in seeking out material provisions and making choices concerning finances.

Seek Me in all things and do not always expect Me to move through the hand of medical science. Stand on My word that I am the Lord that heals you. Yes, I am your physician. I am all you need. Just be completely led by Me. For I am doing a deep work in the hearts of My people....those who are open and yielded. Be teachable and I will show you My perfect will in all things.

Trust Me and I will give you the fruit of the vine in abundance. I will give you the crop for this is harvest time for I am bringing in the lost in abundance.

So check your hearts in the simple things. Yes, this is a spiritual heart check to see if what you are doing is lining up to My will and My word. For many times the root of your problems lie in the area of your faith whether you are walking in My will or your own will. For this is the day of salvation. Choose this day who you will serve to the fullest. Will it be Me or is it the lust of the heart of man? Examine your heart thoroughly to see.

God's people want to be able to rise above the realm of the flesh and to walk continuously in His Spirit; but they cannot do this if they are busy struggling with deep inner hurts. God's word cannot penetrate deep into the depths of the heart if you don't allow yourself to come to the place where you lay your heart open for the Lord to enter and heal all that is wounded. God will not enter into these deep areas of hurt unless we invite Him in to do the work. The Lord by His Spirit is constantly drawing us close to pour His love out upon us, but we have to be willing to respond to it and receive His love.

We cannot fortify ourselves behind the walls of fear, resentments, and bitterness any longer. We are locking ourselves up with our worse enemy with is the flesh. We are constantly allowing Satan to build strongholds in our lives with the ungodly habits we have given access to. Worry and anxiety are byproducts of not allowing God to pierce through the hardness in our hearts. We choose to carry our own loads, and not receive God's love and grace.

Many have been so deeply wounded that they have built strong walls of defense around them. Because of these fortifications, it is very hard for them to let go of these and allow themselves to trust the Lord with their hearts and lives. Through salvation we have committed our lives into God's hands by an act of faith to receive the Lord's saving power. Because of this we can be sure of, that in God's timing and by His grace, He will bring us to the place where we will feel safe enough to open up to Him. Then the Lord will be faithful to do the needed work in us that we are desperately crying out for.

Many have received help through others in the Body of Christ who allow God's love to flow through them. So many are hungry for love but they don't know how to open up and receive it. Yes, God's love is the answer, and He is so willing to shed this abundant supply upon us. The Lord is faithful to provide for us all our needs and innermost desires. We can rest in His faithfulness. Pride keeps us locked behind our own prison walls because we are afraid to truly admit who we are and what we are experiencing. We cannot receive help if we are afraid to open up and be vulnerable to love. God says to trust in no man but in Him alone. He will keep us and direct us to the sources that He has provided to bring His healing power to us.

I can relate to the desperate need of others and the hopelessness that they may face because of the severe need of healing in my own life. God is faithful for there is no problem too big for Him to fix. Be willing never to give up on the faithfulness of the Father for He loves us deeply. Jesus has experienced the turmoil of emotional upheaval that man faces daily yet He was able to overcome by drawing strength from His Father. We cannot turn our backs on the Lord and escape into a life of emptiness and constant torment. Jesus is our only hope of recovery.

We need to make an honest effort on our part to take steps to overcome our weaknesses. Make a commitment to draw close to God daily by partaking of His word and getting quiet with Him so He can fill you with His Spirit. If we take the first step to draw close to Him, He will be right there to lift you up into His loving arms. Never give up and don't believe the lies of the enemy when he attacks in the thought realm about the feelings and emotions you may be experiencing. The way we behave at times in the natural may look like we will never be able to get better or that we are getting worse. We are not to walk by feelings or by sight but by faith knowing that God is faithful to complete the good work that He started in us.

During the healing process, the Lord by His Spirit will draw up out of our hearts the roots of ungodly seeds that have been planted and have grown into a huge tree. Usually rejection has set in which has so many branches of defensive and offensive reactions. Fear and anger are the main outshoots. These devices we turn to trying to cope with our deep seated hurts and fears are only opening us up for more oppression. We can never overcome the pain we have experienced in our own strength.

As we yield to God's healing power, we are able to let go of these strongholds and trust wholly in His Spirit to bring us to recovery. Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit saith God. Love is the answer for God's ways are higher than our ways. By continuing to hold on to the hurts by choosing not to forgive those who have done us wrong, we are turning our lives over to tormenting spirits which oppress every area of our lives.

Trust the Lord and allow His will to be done in your life. By not choosing to let go of our measures of coping, we are only bringing ourselves more harm. Choose abundant life by walking in God's love and follow Christ's example. Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing said our Lord in the midst of persecution. Stephen, Joseph, and many other saints who have allowed Jesus to live His life through them portrayed this same example of love.

We are to be more than conquerors through Christ. Stay on the victory side where Jesus reigns. Do not be deceived by giving into the schemes the enemy uses to enslave you. Shake loose of the chains that bind you by one easy step and that is forgiveness. Commit all into God's hands. Allow His love to penetrate every area of your heart and become free; and stay free, once and for all! Halleluia!

The secret place of the Most High is a place of intimacy where only you and the Lord can dwell. It is truly one of a kind. There is no other place like it. It is unique because we are unique and our relationship with Him is unique. It is a place where we can come apart from the world, its cares and distractions, and concentrate only on being with Him. This place needs to be cultivated so it becomes a way of life, a lifestyle, to be in His presence continually. No matter what is around us or what we may face, nothing will be able to break the intimacy that we have found in Him.

He is our hiding place where we can run into and be secure and know that all our needs will be taken care of. It is a place of peace and contentment in Him. It is a place of refreshment and rejuvenation. It is a place where we can be built up, strengthened, and edified and to receive encouragement and empowering from Him. It is a place where we can rest and be satisfied like being by streams of living water with the freshness of the breeze and the beauty of life all around us. It is true reality, not the plastic of the world's allurements. It is a place where we can truly rejoice and be filled to overflowing with the wine of His presence bubbling over with the joy of the Lord.

Oh Lord, fill us with Your presence. Let us taste the totally consuming and all-empowering presence. It is the one that never runs dry and never stays the same for Your love is ever-increasing and abundant and is inexhaustible. Draw us in and let us have a taste so that we will never forget how it was without it. The allurements of the world and the pleasure and fulfillment we have in You, there is no comparison. Draw us into the living waters and cause us to thirst forevermore of You, Lord. Fill us up to overflowing enough to bubble over and effect everyone in our path.

Start with us, Lord, and bring revival and change us and bring us from glory to glory in You. Let revival start with us by enabling us to press into Your intimacy, Your secret place, from this day forward and forevermore. Let it be!

Come unto Him, all who are weary and heavy laden and He will give you rest, for He is refreshment for your soul, a safe harbor in which to rest and be strengthened. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty
