About Face?
“I am not about to turn My face from My bride or My church in this hour. I will NOT do an “about face”. I will overturn all that the locust has done to destroy My body. YOU ARE MY BODY in this world. YOU ARE the light of the world, and nothing can take My love from you. Yes those who are disobedient to the core of their being will be exposed, and will be corrected, some of them in hard ways, but I will not withdraw My presence from those I love and died for.
But when the fullness comes of what the world is doing, you will be removed from danger, and then no one will be able to connect with Me without total surrender. But I know for many, total surrender comes only by My grace and mercy working in you the humility to bend to My will alone. YOU CAN DO NOTHING except by My GRACE.
When I do My glorious thing, that I have purposed in My heart to do, it will not come because you prayed enough. It will not come because you fasted enough. It will come because I AM ENOUGH, and I AM DESCENDS upon the body of Christ to perfect it, and empower you to be who I created you to be. NO human being will be able to take credit for what I am about to do. Do not think that pride and arrogance can stand in My glory. My glory slays men who are insipidly against My ways.
insipidly: [in·sip·id adj. 1. Lacking flavor or zest; not tasty. 2. Lacking qualities that excite, stimulate, or interest; dull.] word originates partly from savory.
My ways are not your ways. My ways are way higher than your ways. My wisdom stands the ages. My wisdom will be evident to all if you are walking in it. Ask and you will receive this wisdom, for it will help you through the times ahead. You NEED My wisdom to stand in this hour. Each of you has different purpose and destiny, but you need MY instructions, My wisdom to navigate these hours, to know what to do, and how to do it.
Many people in the coming days will themselves do an about face, from the life they have been living, due to the revelation I bring them. Do not despise those who seem unlikely to you to be anything. I love the unlovely, and I cherish the broken. A bruised reed I will not break, smoking flax I will not quench. Thus I said, Come all you who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. There is rest for the weary soul in My arms. Have I not comforted you when you would LET Me?
Many do not let Me, because they are afraid of intimacy with Me. There are spirits blocking them from relaxing in My presence. They are full of worry and anxiety, and do not have the peace I want for My people. And once more, there are so many who do not know how to minister to those. They make them feel they have to whip into shape, but do not remove the graveclothes, and the hindrances that keep them in that state. They haven’t been shown how, or they do not care enough.
But I WILL ARISE with healing in My wings, and I WILL RESTORE and RESUSCITATE MY BRIDE. I will kiss you and kiss you and kiss you. You will KNOW that I love you! REVELATION will pour out upon you like latter rains, and will even heal your souls. Many of your dreams will seem so real, because they are happening in spiritual reality of the hidden realm. I have LOTS of surprises beloveds for you. Do not lose heart in the midst of the fray. I AM with you. My angelic army is increasing around you to keep you. Many of your children and grandchildren will see angels and see ME. Do not doubt what they tell you. PRAY FOR THIS. DECLARE THIS! MY KINGDOM COMES And with it MY WILL WILL BE DONE IN THE EARTH, WHEREVER I want. Whatever I WANT will be accomplished, so if I have told you things before beloveds, then BELIEVE, that I will use you as I’ve said. No one who truly loves me will be left out.”
Isaiah 60:1-4 (AMP) Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you — rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! 2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you. 3 And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. 4 Lift up your eyes round about you and see! They all gather themselves together, they come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried and nursed in the arms.

Joel 2:25-26 (NKJV)
25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.
