Resume the responsibility of a dedicated servant, one who has chosen to give his life for the service of sharing the Gospel. Have you allowed the cares of this life distract you from ministering in the calling that I have even raised you up to have? It is not just having meat or drink to be in My kingdom, but to be full of My peace, joy and righteousness.

But many have gotten distracted to where making a dollar is your main priority. Didn’t I say that if you put Me first and My righteousness all these things will be added unto you? But you haven’t been putting Me first, and you are striving after these things along with the world.

What do I have to do to wake you to the seriousness of the hour? You must know that nurturing yourself with My holy word and drawing close to Me in the secret place is what you need to be able to make it through in this hour. For the enemy is coming on strong to try to snatch you away from My intimate presence.

He knows that when you are close to My side and loving Me and walking in My perfect will that he cannot harm you. He can’t even break your focus upon the Lamb when you are wholeheartedly loving Him.

But many have allowed their hearts to grow cold, and they no longer desire My presence. They have allowed themselves to become beat down because in the fight they were relying on their own strength. If you do not delight yourself in My presence, you do not have My anointing and power to combat the enemy and pull down his strongholds.

Instead of running into the refuge of the Lord and His fortress, you give yourself captive to the enemy’s devices. You feed your belly like there is no tomorrow, and feed on every tidbit of nastiness and evil that he puts out for you.

Wake up before it is too late! This is a final warning, because the storms are getting even stronger. If you can’t hear My voice now when you are running against men, what will you do when the horses are loosed? Why don’t you hear My voice? It’s because you don’t seek My face and quiet yourself down.

My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and I will heal their land. But those who continue in their sin and disobedience, I will pour out My fire upon you. Yes, My wrath and judgment will fall upon My people for I love them and want to see them returned unto Me.

I pray healing and restoration upon My people that they would rather fall upon the Rock that they would become broken rather than the Rock falling on them and crushing them to powder. Which will it be? The choice is yours to make. Do not be satisfied with less than the best which is in My intimate presence. Awake to the seriousness of the hour. I AM calling you back.

Yolanda Ballard of At The Father’s Feet website shares with you, the body of Christ, the words she’s received quietly sitting at the Father’s feet. I believe Jesus set the example for us to follow. Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before the Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.
