Do You Really Want Me?
There are those whose relationship with Me is based on Truth alone. They are citizens. You have a relationship with those around you based on your knowledge of who they are and what standing you have with them. Then there are those whose relationship with Me is based on Love, as well as Truth. These are My intimate ones. There is a big difference between knowing information about Me,  trusting in Me to secure your future, and falling in Love with Me as I have fallen in Love with you. Many are called, but few are chosen. You can have as much intimacy with Me as you have Love for Me.  I Am waiting for you. I Am in Love with you. Will you be My bride? Or are you content to be a guest at the wedding feast?

• Matthew 22:11“But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14For many are called, but few are chosen.”

• Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.

4-2
The Joy in Suffering

Contrary to earth logic and thought, there is great freedom that comes with submission to pain and suffering . . . freedom that cannot be reached any other way. . . through acceptance and trust and submission.

• James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

• 1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

• Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

• Psalm 94:18-19 When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

• Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. 2He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. 3He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.

4-3

Love Them for Me
Serve with all My Love those difficult ones. Serve them in peaceful silence. Talk to Me as you serve them. Let’s stand in the gap for them together, while We humbly serve them. Pray and serve those who have hurt you. Do good to them. Ask Me and I will show you what We can do together for them. Bind dark spirits that prevent you from seeing them as I see them. Loose My forgiveness and peace. Serve. Bring peace and good will into each life, no matter what the history has been. Do this with Me. You will then have your reward . . . more of My Presence and joy. One step of obedience at a time. I Love you!

This is called becoming a “living sacrifice” that sends a sweet aroma to the heavens.

• Romans 12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.”

• Matthew 16:24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.…

• 1 Peter 2:1 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

4-4

Sacrifice for Me
A wise woman builds up her household; a foolish woman tears them down. Build, encourage, serve, overlook, bear with, have mercy, show kindness, love without expectations. Ask Me for strength, ways to serve, and peace during the sacrifice. Love covers a multitude of sin. Let’s cover those around you with Our Love. Ignore your feelings. Remain calm, quiet, and peaceful.  Just obey and trust Me. I will do the rest . . . just wait and you will see My handiwork. When you obey, We make a great team.

• 2 Corinthians 9: 6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.

• Romans 12: 1Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

• Hebrews 13: 16 do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased

• 1 Peter 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

4-5

I Chose to be Yours

I Am the Lord . . . your God . . . your God . . . your God . . . yours . . . yours . . . here for you . . . belonging to you . . . in covenant with you . . . in Love with you . . . your very large, powerful God, with Whom nothing is impossible . . . your God . . . your God . . . your very close, personal God . . . unbound God . . . yours, because I chose to be yours. Now, leave the trouble to Me, while you rest in My Arms. Be silent and rest in My Love. I Am your God. Think about that. Rest quietly and wait.

• Jeremiah 31:3 I have loved you with a love that lasts forever. And so with unfailing love,   I have drawn you to Myself

• Romans 5:8 But God has shown us how much He loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!

• Romans 8:38-39 Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.

• Ephesians 2:4-5 . . . immense in mercy and with an incredible love, He embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ.

4-6

Waiting in Perfect Peace
My peace can carry you through the hottest fire. What releases My peace into your spirit?

• Submissive acceptance of My Will in all circumstances.

• Submit to the position in which I place you.

• Submit with quietness and trust.

• Focus on My Love for you.

• Don’t “kick against the goad” of your situation.

• Accept My Will in humility and you will receive all the peace you need.

You can do anything, endure anything, walk through any valley of pain successfully with My peace flooding your spirit. Forgive others and follow Me. I will give you amazing peace.

• Mark 14:36“Abba, Father, He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

• Psalm 27:13 would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD  In the land of the living.  14Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.

• Jeremiah 17:7 “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence”

4-7

I Want It All

  Not one of your roommates.

• If you want intimacy with Me, then I must be your only Lover.
  I Am not into Adultery. *

• *(We are our earth-spouse’s helper but Jesus’s Soulmate).

• Luke 9:61-62 Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.” 62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

4-8

Entering into Intimacy

The more you seek Me alone, the more intimacy you will have with Me. You can invite others to My outer courts, but to enter the Holy of Holies, you must be willing to leave all behind and enter alone . . . only one priest could enter the earth-copy of the Holy of Holies . . . only one soul  can enter My Holy Of Holies . . . My eternal Presence and intimacy.  You cannot stand in the outer court and enter the Holy of Holies at the same time. Leave the outer court behind.

• Hebrews 10:19-22 Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

• James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  

• Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

• John 17:20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me

• Leviticus 16: 32And the priest who is anointed and consecrated as priest in his father’s place shall make atonement, wearing the holy linen garments. 33He shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. 34And this shall be a statute forever for you, that atonement may be made for the people of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.”

• Matthew 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.

4-9

Who do you trust in, your limited understanding or My infinite knowledge?

Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you won’t be afraid if you close your eyes and your ears, the way you did when you were little and afraid to look at something just ahead. Stop using your eyes for anything except very surface-level necessities. Literally close your eyes and stop up your ears (or put My music in them). over and over every day. Then let My Voice and Presence guide you.

• Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
  your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

• James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.

• Hebrews 12:1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

• Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness,

• 1 Peter 3:12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer.

4-10

Faith . . . not Sight

Practice letting go of physical sight and sound, and focus on Me instead. Let go of exterior and remain deep within your spirit with Me. Imagine yourself wearing a blindfold while I Am holding you and leading you down the path. Feel My nearness and Love protecting you. They are My rod and staff for you. Your voluntary blindness will take you further into Me. We walk together by trusting Me . . . not by your eyes and ears . . . close your eyes over and over. Practice with Me. Faith . . . not sight. Practice.

• Hebrews 12:1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

• Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

4-11

Will you let Me lead you?

Even when you follow Me blindly, I will do the following with you. I will both lead you and help you follow Me at the same time. You won’t do anything alone . . . not even attempt to follow Me. As you take the first step by desiring to follow Me, I will pick your spirit up and carry you . . . while you are following. You do nothing on your own. I Am right there with you. All you have to do is desire to cooperate with Me.

• 1Corinthians 2:12-14 ¹² Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. ¹³ And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.¹⁴ The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

4-12

Listen for Me. . . Follow Me

Play a game with a child. Ask them to blindfold you and lead you for a while. Then put My music in your ears while being led by the little friend. Listen to Me teach you, while doing this exercise. Then tell the friend, “Thanks” and follow Me. This time I will help you do the following, even while I Am leading. Practice. I Am trustworthy. I Love you!

• 1Corinthians 6:17  But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

• Galatians 5:24-25 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

• Ephesians 2:22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

4-13
Voices of Strangers

Blindly follow only My Voice. Strangers have voices that you can hear and feel. Do not follow them. Test the voice you are following. Do you feel fear? Anger? Impatience? Self-love? These are voices of strangers. Bind them and cast them out the same way My Father cast out the wedding guest who was not wearing wedding guest garments.

• Matthew 22:11-14 11“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13“Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14“For many are called, but few are chosen.” 

4-14

Can You Hear Me?
Loose the right Spirit Which is of Me . . . Love, joy, peace, patience, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-233). within your spirit. Now you can hear My Voice and follow Me. Follow only My Voice. I speak only Love. Forsake all others and follow Me. Listen . . . I Am here within you. Listen to Me. Be quiet and listen. Still your soul. Quiet your mind. Let peace reign. Then you can hear My gentle Voice. Be still and listen.

• 1 Kings 19:12-13  12After the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of a low whisper. 13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”…

• Acts 7:3 When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the voice of the Lord

• Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.”

4-15

Let Go of the Boundaries

To operate in My kingdom is to let go of the boundaries I set on earth-bound life. When you speak life to someone in faith, let go of earth-boundary of time. Time is a box . . . get out of it. Do not let time dictate your faith.  Those who only see on the outside operate only in the confines of time.  Do not base your faith on time. Operate outside of time. Operate in seasons and unseen events.

• Matthew 10:39 ³⁹ Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

• Matthew 11:12 ¹² From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

• Matthew 11:28 ²⁸ Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

4-16

Flow in the eternal
Seasons are not rigid. They flow into each other. My kingdom flows with My Spirit. Flow with Me. My kingdom is eternal . . . not bound with finite measurements. Flow in the eternal. Flow in My eternal Love and patience.  Your impatience is a product of self+ earth-bound time. Let both die. Live in selfless Love and the eternal flow of My Spirit. Live outside the limits of time. Now, speak Life and deliverance to those around you and do not let your faith be limited by time. Flow in My kingdom of eternity and Love . . . outside of time. I Love you for all eternity!

• Matthew 13:11-12 ¹¹ And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. ¹² For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

• Galatians 5:24-25 ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

• Ephesians 3:19 ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

4-17
I Am attracted to your weakness

When you get to the point of being so broken that you cry out, “I can do nothing!,” then you can do all things in/with Us. As long as you can do anything on your own, you won’t do anything through Us. We do not share Our Glory. We are not impressed with your strength, but with your weakness and utter dependence. Complete resignation and admission to the truth of your condition are necessary.

• Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all.  Run to God! Run from evil!

• 2 Corinthians 12:9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

4-18

The path to intimacy
Ask Us to weaken your natural strength and reveal weeds. Then you will be strong with Us and Our Presence. Our ways are not man’s ways. Only those who admit they are blind and need guidance can be led. Humble yourself and We will lift you up and do all things in and through you. Pride leads you to be only a stubborn, misled, blind soul. Beware of pride. We love you!

• Proverbs 28:26 A man is a fool to trust himself! But those who use God’s wisdom are safe.

4-19

Trusting like an infant

Neither give in to a spirit of fear. When you see your weakness and look at the days ahead, do not be afraid. Lean on Us as you accept your weakness. Be fully aware of your weakness, but be fully aware of Our Love, strength, and soundness of mind. Be as an infant in Our Arms and rest. A baby in his mother’s arms rests, even though the bill collector is coming and there is a storm warning outside.

• 1 Corinthians 12:9-10 But the Lord said, “My grace is all you need. Only when you are weak can everything be done completely by my power.” So I will gladly boast about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can stay in me. Yes, I am glad to have weaknesses if they are for Christ. I am glad to be insulted and have hard times. I am glad when I am persecuted and have problems, because it is when I am weak that I am really strong.

4-20
My Strength in your weakness

Accept your weakness and Our peace to the point that you actually enjoy your weakness. Then your soul will be quieted like a newborn baby. Resting in Our Arms is actively following Us. Resting in Us is following. Our ways are not your ways. Enjoy your weakness and rest with Us.

• Matthew 6:31-33 So don’t be anxious, asking, ‘What will we eat?,’ ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘How will we be clothed?’For it is the pagans (unbelievers). who set their hearts on all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

4-21

The Forging Anvils of Intimacy
Relationships are not made. They are forged. True intimacy is forged on two anvils . . . one of pleasure and one of pain. When you share laughter and special times with someone, you develop bonds of happiness. I want those bonds with you.

When you go through intense trial and pain with someone, you develop bonds forged by the heat of suffering. I want that with you also. Accept both anvils from My Hand, so We will have bonds of intimacy that can never be broken.

• Psalm 29:4-5 His voice explodes in great power over the earth.   His voice is both regal and grand. The Eternal’s voice shatters the cedars; His power splinters the great cedars of Lebanon

• Prov.3 :5-6  Trust in the Lord with all your heart.  Do not depend on your own understanding. In all your ways remember him. Then he will make your paths smooth and straight.

4-22

Perfect Union
Spend every moment in relationship with Me every day. We will then be welded together through ecstasy and pain, laughter and sorrow, fullness and hunger . . . let’s know it all together. Let’s have the fullness of Life and death together. Then We will know the fullness of perfect union. We will be perfected soul-mates.

• John 10

• Isaiah 45:19  I have not spoken in secret. I have not spoken from a dark place. I have not said to Jacob’s people, ‘It is useless to look for me.’ I am the Lord. I always speak the truth.  I always say what is right.

4-23

How I lead you
I do not lead you, My sheep, by your feelings or emotions. I do not lead you by your imaginary conversations in your mind with other people in your life. I do not lead you by your analysis, reasonings, or logic. I lead you by My Voice . . . not by sight, not by preference, but by My Voice. All other leadings are of the stranger. Do not be misled by feelings or perceptions of fear.

• John 10

• Deut. 13:18  If you’ll listen to the voice of the Eternal, your True God, obey all the commands I’m giving you today, and do what He decides is right.

4-24
Learn to hear My Voice

Be still and quiet and listen for My Voice. I did not say I would use the sheep’s perception of the surroundings to guide them. I did not say they would know where to go because they could see Me. I said they listen to My Voice. Trust My Voice alone. I will direct your thoughts . . . not your feelings.

• Deut. 4:12  Then the Lord spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of his words. But you didn’t see any shape or form. You only heard a voice.

• Joshua 24:24  We will serve the Eternal One, our God, and we will obey His voice.

4-25

I Am here, very near
Come close to Me, every day, every hour, every night, and I will come close to you, every day, every hour, every night. In Our nearness, you will sense My Love for you. Receive My Love every day, hour, and night. My Love for you will make you fearless.

• James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.

4-26

I gave everything for you. What will you give for Me?

How much, Dear One, do you Love Me? The measure of your pain for Me is the measure of your Love for Me. Will you seek Me above all distractions, time loss, people loss, comfort loss? Will you seek Me with all, all your heart? What will you give in exchange for time with Me? What is your limit? What price have you put on Our togetherness? I showed you what your price is to Me. You are My Pearl of great price . . . The price of My very Life.

• Matthew 10:29 Truly I tell you, said Jesus, “- no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundredfold in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions—and to receive eternal life in the age to come. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”

• Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me

• Romans 12:1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice – alive, holy, and pleasing to God – which is your reasonable service.

4-27

No Greater Love
I moved heaven and earth to be with you. Now what will you move to be with Me? My heart yearns for you to want Me with all your heart. Let’s die for each other. Let death be the measure of Our Love for each other. There is nothing greater in heaven or earth than this. I Love you!

• Jeremiah 29:12′Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14’I will be found by you,’ declares the LORD

• II Cor. 4:10-15 Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered, so that the [resurrection-] life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.  For we who live are constantly [experiencing] being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, that the [resurrection] life of Jesus also may be evidenced through our flesh which is liable to death. Thus death is actively at work in us, but [it is in order that our] life [may be actively at work] in you. Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak.  Assured that He Who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and bring us [along] with you into His presence.  For all [these] things are [taking place] for your sake so that the more the grace (divine favor and spiritual blessing). extends to more and more people and multiplies through the many, the more the thanksgiving may increase [and abound] to the glory of God.

4-28

Opening the Window of Your Soul
There is no rest for those who live and sleep with strangers and remain apart from Us. Strangers are all dark influences, distractions, and enticements to your soul. How can you enter into true rest, when you leave the window to your soul open to the dark storms of wickedness, busyness, and dark thoughts, which are the darts of the enemy? I want you to enter into My rest. I want you to live n the Sabbath Day of My peace.

• James 1:14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed. 15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

• Galatians 5:16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do^e such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

4-29

Closing the windows to your soul
Ask Me to show you where you left windows of your soul open and the storms outside are coming in. Let’s close each window together. Then your soul can rest in My quietness, peace, and Love. Ask Me to come through your soul-house with you and close all the windows. Sabbath is for My peace, rest, and Love, which I want to give to you in all fullness. I Love you!

• Joshua 23:13 Now, vigilantly guard your souls: Love God, your God.

• Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Trust Me . . . wait while I work in your life
You will never regret waiting on Me . . . but you will regret your impatience which leads you to step outside My Will. Bind spirits of impatience and cast them out. Loose patience and longsuffering. Settle yourself into contentment and wait on Me. You won’t regret waiting on Me. I promise.
