“Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go” Isaiah 48:17, NKJV.

My child, this is a day to look up for your Redeemer walks among you. I am concerned about everything that concerns you down to the smallest item.

You asked Me for more input on how to abide in Me. This is a good thing to ask. The mere fact that you asked reveals your hunger for a more intimate union with Me. It gives Me great joy when you come in sincerity of spirit and earnestness of heart seeking to know Me better.

I have My hungry remnant that wants to press into the Holy of Holies. They are not satisfied with an outer court relationship with Me. They want the Ark of My Presence and will settle for nothing less. These are the forerunners who have sought out the path to higher spiritual ground before the encroachment of the deep darkness. The darkness will eventually drive many to the Light and My forerunners will be waiting on the path to help and encourage these dear ones as they turn their faces to Me.

The sun is shining brightly today in the natural. But in the spiritual realm there is a dark ominous cloud quickly approaching. Now is the time to let go of the baggage that encumbers your souls. Release the hurts, pains, anger and stumbling blocks to Me and I will surely make them into stepping stones to be trodden under your feet. These past hindrances will become a way that I will use to fast track your spiritual progress and growth. Then you will look at the darkness through My eyes and see how to take advantage of it to bring Light into its midst. Yes, the victory will be accomplished as the Light licks up and swallows the darkness.

As I bring up past situations to your mind, release them to Me like a child releases a helium balloon into the air. I will take these hindrances and in their place I will pour in a healing balm that will restore and make you whole: even better than before you were hurt. As you give Me your life, I will fashion you into the child of God you were always destined to be.

Receive My grace and tender mercies this day. Come away with Me, My beloved child and drink of My healing waters. Shalom
