Going Through the Hard Things
“For I say to you, much change is on the horizon for this nation, the world, individuals and groups.
You have seen it coming with all the upheaval worldwide, but in many areas and for many individuals and groups this is only a beginning of sorts.
Even as the enemy pushes harder to bring more confusion, death and destruction on the scene, so will I come forth in greater power and might in My People to bring forth hope, joy, strength, clarity, and life abundantly.
Though the enemy wants to steal, kill, and destroy, My People are coming forth in greater authority, wisdom, knowledge and understanding to overcome and defeat the challenges, which the enemy is putting before you.
Many of you are feeling as if you’ve been through the trials of Job and indeed many of you have been put through trials and tribulations, just as Job was.
Many of you are battle-weary and wondering how much longer it will go on.
Many of you are hanging on to My Robe by your finger tips, hoping I will grab you before you let go, because you are feeling frail, exhausted, and don’t know how much more you can take.
But I say, TAKE HEART, MY PEOPLE, TAKE HEART. For even as I reached now to GRAB YOU before you let go, and HOLD YOU in my arms. I AM STILL WITH YOU. I HAVE NEVER LEFT NOR FORSAKEN YOU.
For those who have been through what has seemed like an endless barrage from the enemy, I tell you it has been needed to bend and mold you more into My Likeness.
It has been needed to remove remnants or remains of things that have been holding you back-and to remove entry ways that the enemy has been using to come into your life to destroy you.
Many of you had settled into a way of life, that you were comfortable, and were beginning to resist change in many ways. Because of this, and the complacency that had settled over many like a warm blanket on a cool night, many have resisted any change that I have sent to you, even in many forms.
You snuggled in under the blanket refusing to come out from under it, even when what I had was better for you. Many refused to leave the mindset of that warm, comfortable blanket that you were snuggled up in.
So for some it has meant that I literally ripped the blanket off of you, and have refused to give it back. Forcing you to search Me more for the comfort and stability and the strength a blanket made you feel, while you were under it. You’ve had to search Me more to find solutions to your problems, because your “security blanket” was missing.
By removing your “security blanket” you are looking differently at things and getting a different perception of the world around you; because you aren’t covered-up by the blanket, you have new “eyes to see”, if you are open to it and what I want to show you.
You have awakened, coming out in the “cool air” rather than being snuggled down-under the covers. You no longer are in a state of slumber from being covered, but are more alert and aware of what is going on around and in you. Your understanding of Me and My Heart’s desire for you is changing.
You now have gotten greater compassion, as your searching takes you to others who had their security blanket ripped off of them.
You realize you aren’t alone, so there is no reason for self pity to come in, who is starting to knock on your door. Your strength is being renewed as you join with others whose heart has also been changed in the process many of you have been through.
As your heart is changed to become more like Mine, you notice that other things around you have changed as well. Maybe it is where you live, people you associate with and now call friend; it may be your job or life’s work.
I have caused you in this process of change to pick up some new things and to let go of others: people, places, events, things from your past.
I have caused you to let go of them, to close doors that needed to be closed; to move forward instead of standing still because of waiting on another who refused to move forward or wasn’t going in the same direction, that I have assigned you to.
I have caused the changes so that you would become more like Me.
It is necessary for you to continue to move forward in the days ahead, in the direction I take you now. It is only by moving forward in Me that you will continue to stretch and grow more into My Likeness.
This has not been easy for anyone who has gone through this process, but it is times like these when you learn to rely on Me for everything first and others become secondary in your life.
It is times like these that I love you most, as I watch you change and grow and be affected more by My Love for you.
In the end, it is about Me and teaching you to love, like Me. That can only happen through going through the hard things that cause you to change and want Me more.”
God Bless You!
