Oh My child, if only you could see the world like I do. If only you had My eyes to gaze into the future and know your outcome is secure. Your destiny is in My hands. Your life here on earth is but a breath. When I said seek first the kingdom of God and all the other things will fall into place, I meant it. Put Me first, above all else. Make Me your number one priority. Follow Me with your whole heart. Leave all the other things to Me. I am your pearl of great value.

My child, it’s not about you, it’s about Me. I cannot operate fully in your life as long as you are wrapped up in yourself. Look to Me to escape from the trappings of self-centeredness. Lay yourself before Me and give over every bit of yourself. I long to do through you what only I can do through a totally surrendered vessel. I desire to powerfully work in and through you, but before that can happen, I must have a completely empty vessel. There is no room for pride My child. Pride will kill every bit of fruitfulness. Surrender then, your entire self and remember, it’s not about you. It’s about Me. Your God and Father, Creator and Lord. 

My child, do not embark on any new thing until you hear from Me. I have a path planned out for you and I need you to be fully ready and committed to following Me with your whole heart. I do not desire a divided heart. If you choose the way of the world, you will not succeed in the things I have for you. Surrender your plans. I know the desires of your heart. I will lead you. I will guide you. I will make your path straight.

When you serve, do it unto Me. Every act of kindness and every encouraging word will be as though you are giving them directly to Me. This is a blessing to Me. When I see My children blessing others, it blesses Me. I desire you to see with My eyes, to hear with My ears, to see through the veil and enter into My reality. Let love overtake you and be your guide. Look on every face with My love. Listen intently to what I am saying through every person you encounter. Love changes lives. So serve with love and let thanksgiving be in your heart and on your tongue. Be thankful in everything.

Every act of kindness, every encouraging word, every attempt to love, even when you don’t feel like it, you are doing these to Me. Rejoice in Me. Realize that your true reward lies with Me and I will reward you as you make a practice of these things here on earth. Know that as you treat others with My love, My kindness, My words, they will experience Me flowing from you to them. Leave the outcome to Me. Do not look to this world for your reward. Keep your eyes on Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith. 

Be open My child to the direction I am taking you. Be willing to obey what I am telling you to do. Don’t be so set on doing things your own way that you lose sight of what I am doing. Open your eyes and ears. See what I am doing. Hear what I am saying. Enter in to the work that I planned for you from the beginning of time. This requires full surrender. This requires willingness. This requires obedience. Oh what joy in entering in to the fullness of the Father’s plan. What peace and satisfaction in doing what you were destined and designed to do.

My child, I give you all authority. I give you the keys of the Kingdom. I give you My Son and My Holy Spirit to move in and through you. Walk in the authority I have given you. Do what I have told you to do. Proclaim truth and pray My Word. You carry My authority and operate with My power. What more do you need except faith? So move out in faith. Be who I have called you to be. Do not shrink back, do not back down. Move out. Your destiny awaits. Your Father and Warrior King

It’s time to do some housecleaning. I’m talking about internal housecleaning. Rid yourself of all the junk you carry around. Get rid of past regrets and failures. Don’t hang onto bitterness or unforgiveness. Place all distractions and discouragements at the foot of My cross. Be done with worldly pleasures. I am calling a pure and spotless bride. I desire all of you. Give Me your whole heart. Don’t hold anything back from Me. Do you not know I hold the world in My hands? Do you not know your future is secure in Me? Then die to every selfish desire. Be done with every vain thing. Rise up and take your place in Me. You are My pure and spotless bride. You are washed clean by the blood of My cross. 

My child, I am doing a new thing in you. You will see a shift in the way you operate. I will give you eyes to see and ears to hear. You will glimpse into the super-natural which is really reality. I give you My heart for the hurting. You will observe the need and I will show you how to fill it. Keep your eyes focused on Me. Keep seeking the things above, not the things of this world. Intimacy with Me is more important than anything you can attain here on earth. Share My intimacy with others. It’s the best gift you can give. Love, your Father in heaven, who loves you with ever-lasting love.

My child, before you were born I loved you. Before you took a breath, I cherished you. There is nothing you can do to increase My love for you. You are My joy and I delight in you.
