"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom." Luke 12:32
"I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord, be strong and courageous, and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27 13-14"
"For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." Matthew 24:21-23
Out of America and out of the world, I have brought forth many men and women to show My word and My "life" to their own country and to the world...and out of America and the world, those I have chosen, shall arise, taking My Glory to a lost and dying world.
My Glorious Beloved, you have found that your lives are a living testimony to the storm clouds that hovered over you throughout your life. You have found your lives filled with storms, but also, as My saints of old, you have faced the storms, although not always easily, but at the conclusion you found there was always triumph.
You have faced seemingly impossible circumstances with no way out in sight...but you are learning that you are to walk by faith and not by sight and of My great love for you in spite of the fears that might come. You have learned that you bless others when you are reviled. You have learned to be quiet under great afflictions and you would rather suffer affliction than to enjoy the pleasures of sin. As I gave you the revelation of who you are, you said you would come and walk on the water, and as Peter, I took you at your word and I said "come!"
It has not been an easy place, this wilderness that I have had you in but still you stand. Despite all the darkest days of your lives, despite all of your discouraging moments, despite all the sadness and grief that you have endured, despite all the difficulties and even knowing as His disciples, you would be persecuted, 'without exception' - you also know that the Son will come out tomorrow. And He will illuminate the world with His Glory.
As you have been viewing the world, what you and others see is not encouraging. In many who call themselves My own, holiness and righteousness has been lacking and I have given them every opportunity for a change of heart. Still many go on their merry way, listening to men of the world instead of the I AM. However, you have stuck with Me, even though these same would ridicule and malign you because you did not blindly accept their agenda's, still you remain steadfast; 'focused' on Me and on that glorious day set before you. You know that even in the time of the greatest trouble on the earth the I Am is still the Lord of Lords and King of Kings and that the I AM is still in control ... and you 'will see any fears turned into the fire of My presence.' My faithful ones truly learning to look to ME in time of troubles and not the voices of the world.
To My chosen ones, I say unto you this moment, Seek My face more than ever, ask Me for My blessings and protection from this moment on as you continue to see the storm clouds rolling in, covering the world. You will find that nothing is impossible for your God and you will see the once impossible become the possible. You will see your dreams and visions fulfilled. You will see My promises to you and yours coming to fruition. Obedience to Me. With all of your problems, you are finding out that I saw your problems "long before you did" and I had an answer to every one of them. Obedience, you are finding that it is truly better than sacrifice.
At the moment, I have you hidden in My pavilion, set high upon the "Rock" when others are fearing the worst to come, scurrying to and fro, you know to wait upon the Lord - to be of good courage and that I will strengthen your hearts and although you are anxious to go, even now, you will wait upon the Lord! A new day is dawning, a day as any other day that the Son will come forth to a world of darkness with the light of His Glory! When He, Himself shall be unveiled in the lives of many.
My Glorious Beloved, the time is coming shortly for My Son to stand to His feet and say "Enough is Enough." My visitation is nigh upon you and with one word from My mouth, IT IS DONE! And I will bring you out of the darkness and into the light and the hidden will be made manifest.
