THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY SEEM

 

Some of you are feeling frustrated in your relationship with Me. You desire to hear My voice, but lately, it has been a struggle to hear Me. You feel as if you have somehow fallen backward and are not as close as you once were. You have searched your heart for iniquity but found none. You have asked Me to show you what is wrong, but I have shown you nothing. You are puzzled and crying out to Me asking Me what happened.

Know this, things ARE NOT as they seem. I am not angry nor am I displeased with you. There has been an increase in warfare from the enemy coming against My people. His desire is to cause a distance between us, so you will give up and fall back into all habits. He does not want you to press your way. He wants to you believe that your situation is hopeless. You should know by now that nothing is impossible for Me. However, I want you to understand, there will be times things may not go right or as smoothly as you would desire, but that does not mean I have left you. It also does not mean that I will not fulfill My promises.

You will also encounter times when you struggle to maintain that special intimacy with Me, but that does not mean I am displeased with you, nor does it mean I have disqualified you. I am always with you; I won’t ever leave you. In these moments, when you cannot sense My presence, be faithful to Me and continue to pray. Keep your eyes lifted up despite the circumstances surrounding you. Then I will work My glory in the situation with signs and wonders that will amaze you.

Therefore, do not be discouraged and do not give up when things seem to fall apart. Keep your heart fixed on Me and remember things ARE NOT as they seem. Be patient, faithful, and be persistent in what I have shown you. Remind yourself that I will never forsake you. I do not disappoint those who put their trust in Me. So, ignore the accusations of the enemy, and soon you will see My purposes fulfilled through you.  

Read and Meditate on His Word

Psa. 9:10  And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Jer. 29:11-13  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 

2Co 4:16-18  For this cause we do not faint; but though our outward man perishes, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For the lightness of our present affliction works out for us a far more excellent eternal weight of glory, we not considering the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are not lasting, but the things which are not seen are everlasting. 

Heb 13:5  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Love Is Looking For You...Are You Ready?

WHILE I’M WORKING, DON’T GET WEARY

Do not lose heart or grow weary.  I speak to those who have faced upheaval and been forced to accept a change that you did not initiate. Beloved, I know you have expected and anticipated breakthrough on various levels but have encountered delays.  Do not become discouraged and give up hope, but rather a time to shift your focus so that you are looking ahead with hope rather than looking behind with regret. I am still working in your life.

Rise up in the faith and assurance that I have begun a good work in you, and I will bring it to completion. Take this time to be rooted in faith and to exercise patience, for surely you have established your plans, but I will direct your steps.  There is work behind the scenes that you have no knowledge of, and this work is for your benefit.  Trust Me that you will come through this time with greater faith and strength.  Rejoice in this work, and do not give up hope.
