My child, there will always be times when you fall short. There will also be times when you are less than perfect. No human is perfect. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Repent and confess and get on with following Me. Do not let the enemy continue to condemn what I have already forgiven. I know every one of your deeds before you do them. I know every word before you speak it. I have come to set you free from the power of sin. I have already paid the penalty for your sins. Quit beating yourself up over sin. Repent and confess and continue on the path I have before you. I am not asking for perfection. I desire obedience.
For This Hour
I have appointed you for this hour. You are My example, My representative, My light to a lost and hurting world. I am using you in ways you can’t imagine and cannot see right now, but you will see the fruit. Stay attached to Me, your Vine. I flow through you when you remain in Me.
Faith
My child, I have something better for you. Have faith. Do not settle for the comfortable. Do not rely on the easy way. I am calling you to a life of faith. Without faith it is impossible to please Me. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11: 1 & 6
Awaiting Judgment
Judgment? God is about to wrap up history by bringing before Him all who have ever lived for a final accounting at the Last Judgment. It’s only natural to experience a sense of fear when we hear that term. It is indeed a terrifying prospect! Yet for those who have become God’s children, judgment will be the most treasured moment of their lives. The majesty of eternal life awaits God’s chosen ones. What He has in store for His people defies imagination.
Even now we have a chance of glimpsing eternity. A spiritual reality surrounds us—just as real as the physical one we now inhabit. But only those who have been born again into relationship with Jesus can experience it. Those who do not know Christ remain blinded to the presence of this supernatural world. God knows all about this; it has been a part of His plan from the very beginning.

Take Hold of Authority
The problems of this world are huge. Way too many for just one person to solve. I never intended to have only one person be responsible for the entire world’s problems. But the church, My bride, working together in unity, praying together in unity, being filled with the Holy Spirit can move mountains. Where two or three are gathered in My Name, I am there. I hear, I move, I will do battle on behalf of My church. The victory is won. Satan is defeated. My bride needs to take hold of the authority she has and enter in to the victorious place of standing firm on My promises. Watch Me move these mountains as the church prays together in unity.
Enjoy Me Today
Do not just hope in the future. Believe Me for today. This moment is precious. I desire that you not be anxious, but trust Me. When you put your hopes in tomorrow you miss what I have for you today. Rejoice and be thankful for this moment in time. You do not know what tomorrow holds, but I do. You can trust Me with all your tomorrows. I want you to enjoy today. Your Father who holds the future and is hear at this moment.
You Are Unique
My child, I want you to be happy with yourself. I want you to fall in love with your Creator, who fashioned every part of your frame. I created you to be unique and distinctive. To be set apart from all others. I know and cherish every hair on your head. I love every bit of you. Do you think it honors Me when you loath what I have created? The enemy has had his way with you way too long. Believe Me when I tell you to let go of self hatred, self ridicule and self loathing. It is not who I created you to be. Let it go and fall into My loving healing arms. Let Me caress every part of you. You cannot do anything or change anything about yourself to make Me love you more. I am head over heals madly in love with the one I created. Be who you are. Be who I created you to be. Stop trying to be what you think others want you to be. Fall into My arms and I will love you back to who I long for you to be ~ yourself ~ your beautiful, lovely, unique self. How can you love your neighbor as yourself when you don’t even like yourself?
Found in the Book of Life!
God’s Book of Life contains a record of all who truly belong to Him. At the Last Judgment, all whose names are not found written in it will be thrown into a lake of fire, which, of course, results in eternal separation from God.
Failure to take advantage of Christ’s offer of salvation will be the supreme regret of a person’s life. Just think about the unbearable sorrow people will feel as they see the promise of union with God slipping away before their very eyes—the chance to share His life in a place where time ceases to exist, eternity, lost forever. And then it’s too late to make amends. Now is the time for that! Our greatest fear should not merely be the prospect of going to hell, but that of missing the purpose for which we were created in the first place. What greater anguish could there ever be!

Testing Comes in the Quiet Times
My child, when you don’t feel Me, I am here. When you can’t see Me or hear Me, I am still here. I never leave you. I never cease from being intimately involved in every part of your life. Just because you don’t sense Me doesn’t mean I’m not here. This is where faith comes in. In the dry seasons, in the quiet times where you hear nothing, see nothing, feel nothing, have faith. Testing comes in the quiet times. Those who endure to the end shall be saved. Do not operate on your feelings. Operate in faith. Trust in Me when I can’t seem to be found. I am here. Trust Me. You will eventually see that I was here all along.
Endure in Faith
There is power in prayer. I have called My people to pray. To see Me and commune at the deepest intimacy. Prayer is necessary. To spend time in My presence, hearing from Me and believing that I will do what I say I will do. Bring Me your burdens and lay them at My cross. Pray in faith. Ask in faith. Walk in faith. With Me all things are possible. My will is that none should perish. Come to Me with your concerns. I love when My people come to Me with a child like faith. I will do more than you can pray, ask or imagine if you only believe. Open your heart to Me. Be done with doubt and fear. Rest in the full assurance of My wonder working power. Come and remain in a constant state of belief in Me. Those who endure to the end shall be saved. Endure in faith My child.
