Enter into the Holy Place, into My presence. In My presence is fullness of joy. I am not of this world. My kingdom is a heavenly one. It is true that the earth shall one day be destroyed and all its inhabitants. But those who seek My face, who enter My rest, who do not partake of the world's ways, but who put their trust in Me, will live forever.

You ask about the times. I tell you that difficult times are at hand. But triumph is in store for those who are Mine, for those who belong to Me. Fire will consume the wicked. My judgement shall fall, but I have made a way out. It is through the shed blood of My Son, for whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but live eternally.

If you focus on Me, cry out to Me, look to Me in all you situations, in all your struggles, I will reveal My heart to you. And when I do, I will give you opportunity to make things right, to set things aright. My counsel will bring the back-slider into right relationship with Me. My strong right arm will position those who cry out to Me in a place of safety. Though the nations are shaken in a sieve of destruction, I will not abandon those who call out to Me, but I will gently lift them up and out of despair.

Do not put your trust in the riches the world has to offer, for soon these things will fade away. Truth and justice will expose error and misplaced affection. I am shaking the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Its fruit are ripe for judgement and I will bring into judgement every work of the flesh and I shall strip its branches and lay to ruin its root system. The shaking will increase till every fruit of its branches is put through the fire of My Spirit. You will see destruction all around, but do not fear, for it is only the shaking of the nations and the hand of the Lord picking the fruit of pride and rebellion for the fire.

Adjust your thinking. Do not consider the things I am showing you to your harm or destruction. It is a spiritual pruning that will identify points of darkness in the lives of individuals who hold not to the truth, but who have come under the veil of deception. I shall roll back the shroud that has covered them and expose the hidden places. I am looking for a heart of repentance, therefore I will expose the darkness so that repentance may flow.

Who will be saved? Those who cry out to the Lord! I will pass no one by. All will have equal opportunity to come into right relation with the Lord. All will be given opportunity to come out of darkness into the light. Pray for the restoration, for all things will be restored to those who hope in the Lord, for I am the Rock, the firm foundation. Establish yourself in Me and I will give you riches untold from My storehouses, riches not as the world has to offer, but that which is eternal.

I will entrust to you opportunity to be a light in a dark place. I will give to you a shield of faith and breastplate of righteousness to overcome the enemy. Weapons of warfare will be distributed to My Elect, for I have entrusted to them everything they need to be victorious over sin, death, and hell. I have been triumphant over these, and as My people walk in the power that is theirs, they also shall be victorious.

This is a day of victory. A day when the dead in Christ shall be raised up into life. Great joy is coming to the house, to those who find their strength in Me alone. Peace, patience, joy, all of these belong to those who find fulfillment in My presence.

Wait on Me and your desires shall be fulfilled. I will take you on into the deep things of My kingdom. You will come into greater understanding of My will and My ways. As you anchor into Me, you will be refreshed, for I would pour out the power of My presence in your midst.

In My presence you will be changed, made new, brought into understanding. This is the place where you will enter into true liberty, for I shall take the shackles off and set at liberty those who have been bound up in traditions of men. I will manifest My presence in such a way that you will be convinced that there is no other place to go, but to the Life Giver, the source of life.

Men offer freedom, but based on the power of the flesh to attain it. I offer life. When you have a revelation of this truth, you will be willing to forfeit the world's offer to lay down your life and to enter life in My Spirit. You will see that the Spirit realm supercedes the natural, that it has power over the flesh, over the mind, will, and emotions, that it ushers one into the high places, into Heavenly realms. This is the place of victory where no weapon formed against you is able to prosper. I am calling My Elect up into this place of rest.

I will entrust to you opportunity to be a light in a dark place. I will give to you a shield of faith and breastplate of righteousness to overcome the enemy. Weapons of warfare will be distributed to My Elect, for I have entrusted to them everything they need to be victorious over sin, death, and hell. I have been triumphant over these, and as My people walk in the power that is theirs, they also shall be victorious.

This is a day of victory. A day when the dead in Christ shall be raised up into life. Great joy is coming to the house, to those who find their strength in Me alone. Peace, patience, joy, all of these belong to those who find fulfillment in My presence.

Wait on Me and your desires shall be fulfilled. I will take you on into the deep things of My kingdom. You will come into greater understanding of My will and My ways. As you anchor into Me, you will be refreshed, for I would pour out the power of My presence in your midst.

In My presence you will be changed, made new, brought into understanding. This is the place where you will enter into true liberty, for I shall take the shackles off and set at liberty those who have been bound up in traditions of men. I will manifest My presence in such a way that you will be convinced that there is no other place to go, but to the Life Giver, the source of life.

Men offer freedom, but based on the power of the flesh to attain it. I offer life. When you have a revelation of this truth, you will be willing to forfeit the world's offer to lay down your life and to enter life in My Spirit. You will see that the Spirit realm supercedes the natural, that it has power over the flesh, over the mind, will, and emotions, that it ushers one into the high places, into Heavenly realms. This is the place of victory where no weapon formed against you is able to prosper. I am calling My Elect up into this place of rest.

I will do a new thing. I will wipe away the past and bring marriage into a fresh new relationship. There is a day coming when all these things shall come into order. Trust Me. I will do for you what you least expect, I will turn the heart of a husband onto Me and he shall be changed! Do not doubt that I can turn events around. I am able to do what you would never have expected. When I turn the heart of your husband to Me, I will begin to reshape his thinking. I will teach him truths he needs to know. I will counsel him and bring him into understanding. So do not be afraid to stand tall. I will pour out My power and bring into obedience those who thought they could ignore My call upon their life.

Your children will not be confused. I am teaching and training them. So do not believe the lie that they are "missing out" by not "attending church." They are not missing out on anything! My Spirit is capable of reaching out to them wherever they are. As a matter of fact, I will not leave them alone, but will continually reveal Myself and My ways to them.

Oh, if My people could only grasp the truth that I cannot be contained within four walls! If only they could understand that I have not limited My love and outreach to a select group who considers themselves superior to others! I will show them that I have not neglected all others in order to pamper them. They will learn that I am no respecter of persons. If they think their performances will gain them My approval, they are without understanding. My request has been that those who would please Me, love Me with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength, that they have made Me Number One in their lives. Do they think I do not know the longing of their heart? Do they seek to please Me or to please men? I know those who are Mine. They hear My voice and follow Me. All others are strays. So you see, that I alone, will judge who is worthy of My love, My forgiveness, My healing virtue. I am not restricted by the thoughts and methods of men.
