I am calling those who are called by My name to come before Me in humble desperation for I am preparing a bride who will deny themselves of the luxuries of this present age and would be willing to come before Me with fasting and prayer to seek My face as to the coming atrocities of the hour upon the earth. For the enemy is mad. He’s coming forth as a roaring lion seeking all who he can devour, but this is not only what he plans to do. He’s preparing to lead astray those who are not totally committed to My will and My ways.

For it is not possible for one to walk with one foot in the world and the other one in My kingdom. You have to make up your mind before it is too late to know whom you will serve. For many shall say “for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord.” But what kind of example do these heads of households portray? Are they feasting upon My word like it is their last meal, or do they act like tomorrow will never come when they have to prepare for the seriousness of the hour?

I call you to My side because I love you and need to warn you that it is getting late. You are running out of time that you would be able to prepare with fasting and prayer. I’ve called you to this hour many times before, but you feel you have much time before all hell breaks loose upon the earth. It is here and it will only get worse.

In order to see a great move of My spirit you need to be desperate for it. You can’t be feasting upon that which I abhor. You must have a heart after My own heart and to love what I love and hate what I hate to be truly Mine. A warrior cannot be entangled with the affairs of the world. Their eyes must be fixed straight ahead at the present hour watching at all times with head set like flint with determination to tear down the strongholds of the enemy.

No more are you to go about idly wasting your time over trivial matters and empty vain things. You must concentrate on that which builds up My kingdom and tears down that of man. A holy desperation I will put within you if you cry out for it. Not only desperation but determination to pull down the enemy’s plan over your own life and to build up a fortress of My word for you to dwell. You need to hide yourself in My secret place underneath the shadow of My wing.

For yes, My child, you need to draw close to My side close enough to hear My heart beating for you, close enough to hear My still small voice. Yes, you need to spend much time with Me walking and talking with Me in the cool of the day for soon fire will fall from the sky and the blast of bombs everywhere. There will be chaos and panic and lack everywhere you turn. You must have developed a relationship where you truly know Me and My ways and especially know My voice.

For this kind of walk with Me does not develop over night! If you have not begun this walk of faith, now is the hour to prepare. It is not too late, but very close to it. My door to this opportunity will draw to a close. Many will have to go through the fire of tribulation to be tried as pure gold just because they have not put Me first in their life. Those who have truly walked with Me have already paid the price of having a true commitment.

If you fall upon the Rock willingly, you will be spared, but if the Rock has to fall upon you, woe to you!

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.
