The LORD spoke to me early today saying, “No darkness shall hide the shining of My Face, for I shall always appear you in many ways.

Watch for me as a bright star in the night sky. I shine in every darkness. Never let your faith waver!”

Then, I heard clearly, “So many are hungry for that which satisfies!”

I immediately was reminded of a beautiful story I once shared that always speaks differently to each one who hears it.

It always spoke to me me, “I will not give to God that which cost me nothing…..”

So I say to you today, in these end times of many challenges, as you continue your journey, may everyone you meet be hungry for the TRUTH that you have and may the TRUTH that you have become all that you are!

I share this story with you as a special gift. The author is unknown.

“There was once a wise woman traveling in the mountains who had found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry and she opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked if she might give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime, but a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman who had given it to him.

I’ve been thinking, he said, “I know how valuable the stone is, but I’m giving it back in the hope that you can give me something more precious, I want you to give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.”
Author Unknown.

Beloved, it is my prayer for you that every story heart that you encounter will melt like wax and receive from you this gift… the ‘stone that the builder rejected’ — The Chief Cornerstone.

And may you become a supplying joint of God’s grace and power that flows with mercy so that the body can be knit together in love, especially in this time of great Division, Deception and Denial.

For only as each Living Stone is fitly joined to another, can The Body of Christ be built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

May you each one truly be an instrument of peace in His hands as you endeavor to rebuild walls and bring restoration in a spirit of meekness and total humility.

The LORD stopped me and said, “Indeed I AM The WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE — but it is not enough to be honest with The LORD, your GOD and others — you must be HONEST with YOURSELF!”’

Beloved friends, as we acknowledge, embrace and accept this honest Truth, we are able to truly pour out our hearts in deep trust in Him, and we can receive cleansing, healing, and restoration in spirit, soul, and body.

With this progression, we realize in knowing The TRUTH, The TRUTH has made us free!

After all, TRUTH is not TRUTH if it has not changed us!

To know TRUTH is to live it. IT is LIFE to those who find it.

Search for it with all your heart and let it be the KEEPER of you heart.

To live it is to know it. Understanding then follows Truth.

We sometimes mistake understanding for knowing, but understanding flows out of our knowing the Truth.

With this understanding of knowing The Truth, we can say with confidence, “I DO trust in Your Life to do what I cannot.”

That, my friends, is living proof that KNOWING the TRUTH makes you free!

If Understanding is not based on TRUTH, it becomes misunderstanding!

So it is, moment by moment, we decide to remain where we are, or grow up in Him Who is The TRUTH.

Choice by choice, time after time, we are ABIDING in Truth or untruth, simply by the choices we make.

May The LORD open our eyes to see and envision The Truth we need to go forward in this hour.

We must make the choice to walk in all that we know to be True, now more than ever.

Jesus says that the path of life is narrow, so as we choose The Way, we recognize there is a difference between knowing The Truth, believing The Truth, and living The Truth.

The defining moment of Truth that we say we know and believe comes when we start demonstrating Truth by the life that we live.

One of the most revealing truths that we have is that there is a Secret Place for those who place their trust in GOD and rely on their Faith in God.

Faith it the key that opens the door to The Secret Place.

The nature of a secret is that not everyone knows it. Only chosen people are privy to it. So we can abide there, in The Secret Place.

The LORD is speaking to those who have ears to hear today, “Come up higher and dream with Me.

I desire for you to see the invisible. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. Begin to call forth those things that be not as though they were.

They are always existing in Heaven awaiting you.

It is that they don’t exist in the earthly realm yet.

The just shall live by Faith. Begin to see yourself as I see you,” says your Heavenly Father.

“Call it forth now as though it were, because your destiny is coming forth out of heaven.

It shall be on earth as it is in heaven. The resistance you are feeling is from the enemy.

RESIST that feeling, REBUKE the enemy and command him to leave. Know that he will show up and try to oppose every purpose coming from God.

But buckle up — your ride to finish well has only just begun.

I have got your present time, I hold your future so let go of yesterday and never look back!

Let go of every mindset that has had you stuck in the problems of yesterday and prophesy into your promise and begin to see yourself as I see you!

Your access code to your NOW door is SECRET PLACE. We are in this together!

There is much to be done and the hour is late.

You have abilities that are lying dormant that you have not yet discovered.

I AM stretching your Faith to trust Me in all things.

When you take the first step, I will take two!” says The LORD.

“I say, the walls are crashing down, my Chosen Ones are entering into the perfect plan of their inheritance just as I have spoken,” says The LORD.

“The dark cloudy forecast that has been projected from man and the media shall not be yours, but as you continue to view your situation from a heavenly perspective always.

I adjure you to PROCLAIM and CLAIM your finish!

You shall finish well and wear the Victor’s Crown.

You have learned much from the battles of yesterday and the sharp arrow that are constantly coming toward you, but your face is always before your Heavenly Father so continue to ABIDE for the appointed time is just around the corner.”

The Narrow and Wide Gates
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
