“The season you have entered is one filled with much promise and hope. Regardless what you have heard from others, trust Me when I tell you that the best is yet to come. I will never take hope from you. I will always give you reason to hope. When hope is removed then I Am removed, and I will not be removed! Give to Me what belongs to Me and see what I do with it. You may think you have little to nothing to offer Me, but I tell you I will take the little you have a multiply it. Like the boy’s lunch of loaves and fish, I will take your small contribution of praise and prayer and multiply it. So do not worry about being small. Yes, you are small. Yes, there is little you can do. But in Me there is multiplication beyond your imagination. I can take the little you have and all the impossibilities you face and bring a great outcome.
“A season of restoration is upon you, but restoration will not come without My judgment,” says the Lord. “Know that without My judgment, truth is not present. My judgment is true and My judgment is right. Righteousness and justice are the foundations of My throne. You may run to the Throne of Grace because it was forged in the fires of My justice and built on the foundation of My righteousness. You cannot separate them. By My design they were made to work in unison. As righteousness and justice are the foundations of My throne, judgment and truth work in harmony with My justice. My judgment is right because I always know the truth. I Am the Discerner of the hearts of mankind and I know what is truly going on – the motivation behind the action. The human heart is the most deceptive thing above all things. Know that you cannot trust your own heart. Trust Me to discern your heart, child, I will show you a more excellent way!
“This is a time of divine connections and open doors to those who have gone through the fire and been found without corruption. Judgment must start in the house of the Lord. So rejoice as you see the judgments come, because then My judgment can go outside My Body, and those who have been found operating in a cruel, greedy and murderous spirit will be brought into My presence for judgment. There is no king, no queen, no president or prime minister, no leader of any kind past, present or future who can hide from My judgment. There is nowhere for them to go that My eyes do not see them.
“Rejoice for the shaking you are witnessing in the world – as well as the shaking taking place in My Body. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. If it is shaken loose, then it will be loose. If it cannot be shaken, then it will stand firm. With Me, it is a win-win situation. Allow Me to shake you. Do not fear for I Am with you. You do not want anything that can be shaken, do you? Be still and know that I am God. The shaking in the Church that you see will bring about a new purity. I Am coming for a Church without spot or blemish. I am coming for a pure and spotless Church. So pray for your brothers and sisters. If they are found to be of another spirit, they still need your prayers. I died to save the lost. Do not rejoice when big names fall. Do not rejoice in another’s demise. Instead, rejoice when My justice is found in the Church. Rejoice that I Am the Restorer of the breach. Rejoice that I Am more interested in revealing the truth then if My Name gets tarnished. What man thinks of My Name does not diminish My power or My authority. It does not diminish My truth. Man’s opinions do not sway Me. I Am that I Am, and I Am not dismayed because people speak ill of My name. I am more interested in revealing truth then hiding it. What has been whispered in the dark shall be shouted from the rooftops!
“Pray for the release of My judgment angels. They are fierce, and few will obey this request, but these angels are assigned to execute My judgment. With My judgment comes the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. If you want My sevenfold Spirit in operation in your life, you must submit yourself to My judgment. I will always treat you fairly and provide for you a way out through My Seat of Mercy.
“Come now, child. Come and sit with Me and let Me sooth your heart. Let not your heart be troubled. Put your trust in Me and watch My restoration take hold. Remember, it is My love for you that motivates Me. Fear is the beginning of wisdom, but love is the completion. I Am love. Everything I do is motivated in who I Am and I Am love. Your life will be transformed through yielding to My judgments. Those things your heart longs to hear and see will be heard and shown. I will reveal My glory! Yes, I will say it again. I will reveal My glory to you. Let this promise take the trepidation from your heart. As you open your heart for My judgment to come in, it will be transformed. My Word teaches you in Hebrews 12:11 that as you allow My discipline to instruct you, you will produce peaceable fruit of righteousness. This is truly a delicious fruit! This is the fruit that remains. This is fruit that when planted will reap a one hundredfold harvest. Rejoice, child! Rejoice at this news! Though everything is shaken around you, it will not come near you if you have allowed My Spirit to test you and try you as in a fire. If you have followed My word and built on the foundation of righteousness and justice, what you have will stand through the testing fires.
“Ask for what you need to run and complete the race set before you. Being afraid to ask will breed doubt and unbelief. It will cause you to freeze and you will come to a stop like a stalled engine, so keep in the flow of My love and provision. Stop looking at your lack and the great needs that surround you. Instead look to Me for everything and then all things become possible. Do not merely mouth words of faith the way some do as robots. Believe the words you profess. Believe them because you know they come from My holy Word and not your imagination. Believe them because you have enough experience to know that when I say something, I Am will bring it to pass. Give to Me your pure devotion and trust.
“Restoration is My specialty. I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can go to the Father without first going though Me. No one can come to Me without being drawn by My Father. I have prayed for you to receive another Helper and that is My Spirit of truth. My truth must be revealed in order for you to see Me. My Spirit teaches you all things. To bring restoration means to bring healing, not only to the human heart through salvation, but through physical healing. Salvation was given to you on the Cross and so was healing. It is time for healing to be known again by My Body. The Body of Christ is sick and in need and cannot properly reflect My glory in her present state. You have believed Me for salvation, now embrace My healing touch.
“Be restored, Church, be restored! Restoration is yours for the asking, but doubt and unbelief is killing you. When you pray for healing do not say, ‘If it is Your will to heal this person...’ You need to know what My will is by searching My word, then stand on it when you pray. Pray in faith. Do not waiver. Do not doubt and be double-minded – tossed by the wind. Doubt does not move My hand on your behalf. When you pray, ‘If this is Your will…’ you are actually praying doubt and unbelief and I will not honor such prayers. Do not wait to see healing to believe it or you will not see it. Faith sees it first. I have taught this truth since the beginning by speaking the universe into existence. I saw it before it was! Selah! [Stop and think about this – ponder what I Am saying.]
“Search Me and know Me by searching and knowing what My Word, the Bible, tells you. Do not say in and of yourself why you do not see Me move like I did when walking the earth or in the days of the early church. If My children who believe that I no longer move as I did in the days of old could hear how ridiculous this sounds in the ears of the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient Creator of the universe, they would never say it again. To believe that I no longer move as I once did dilutes My Gospel and the power of the Cross. Do you believe I am limited by time? Is it possible for religious beliefs to override My ways? I Am the same today, yesterday and forever; I do not change. I Am God!
“I, the Lord God, who is not hindered by time nor space, will in no uncertain terms be limited by human wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. My thoughts are far above anything that mankind can think; to presume to speak and declare what I can and cannot do is sheer ignorance. The root of it is pride, there is only one cure for pride, and that is repentance. Yes, repentance is a cure. To turn away from sin is repentance and turning from sin will bring healing. Repent and be healed now in My name. This was the message of many of My prophets, this was the message of John the Baptist and this was the message of the Son of Man. This must also be your message or you are not Mine. Show people by your lifestyle how to turn to Me in all things and you will succeed as My ambassador. Without repentance – turning away from sin and coming to Me – all messages are lost. Unless there is repentance, there is no salvation, no healing, no prosperity, no taking back what the devil has stolen, no reconciliation to God. You cannot dance or sing your way into heaven without repentance, nor can you work your way in. A repentant heart turns from doing evil. It turns and it goes the way that I have set for it. It does not seek its own way or its own glory, but it seeks Mine. My way is complete and there is nothing lacking.
“Many fear My judgment, but you who are called by My name need not fear. Do I act without telling My prophets first? Do I warn? Do I guide you by My Spirit? You can trust Me. If you have any doubts, then come and confess them and let Me show you a more excellent way. I will always be with you and you need not fear.
“There is one more thing that you need to consistently do to accomplish great things. I want you to pray for My will to be done on earth as it already is in heaven and when you pray it is My desire for you to think about how things are in heaven. John and Ezekiel had a glimpse into My Throne Room (Revelation chapters 4-5; Ezekiel chapter 1). Though much of this remains a searchable mystery – you can clearly see there is no sickness or disease in heaven. There is no lack there is no sin. So when you pray, believe for My will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Bring heaven to earth as it is your inheritance. I would not say it if it were not the truth. Believe for great and mighty things for great and mighty miracles await those who believe. Walk in My restoration, walk in My truth and see My justice – My righteous judgments – come to pass. As you do you will be filled with great joy and peace. You will be filled with My love.”
Forever,
Your Savior and Healer
The Lord gave specific instructions for me to share this with you NOW, but would you be surprised to learn that He spoke this word to me on March 20, 2008? His ways are not our ways! His timing is perfect!

“I am doing a work in My Body. This is not regional, but a global work. I am causing My whole Body to be realigned to My purpose and plan for this specific hour.
“Many have been in fear and are dismayed as they have felt the injustices of life swirl around them, but I always have a plan. My will is to be done on this earth as it is being done in heaven. You have cried out and I am fulfilling My will in your lives. Some have yet to see how I truly do use ALL things to work together for good. I first loved you, and as you love Me in return, you will see and walk in My purpose for your life. You are called according to My purpose.
“Do not fear, My child, My love. You will not be dropped as you are firmly held in your Father’s arms and capable hands. The realignment you are and have been experiencing is for your eternal benefit. I know that it is difficult to see when you are in the midst of the fire, but when you come out of it and look back on how I have moved you into position, you will rejoice at the fullness of what I have done for you.
“Trust Me!
“I have counseled you to PREPARE for the harvest! You will no longer glean the scattered wheat from around the edges of the field, for I Am repositioning you in the center of it. You will even reap where you have not sown. However, your readiness for the harvest depends on your willingness to go through My process of realignment and repositioning. My goal is not only for you to be spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically aligned to My plan, but to be in the right location at the right time. Your heart has cried out for this day, so allow Me to prepare and place you. I counsel you not to grow weary in well doing, for you will reap a harvest if you faint not! Seek Me early for the day’s plans. Watch what I show you and see how I work My plans through you as you go about your day. I urge you to stir yourself up in your most holy faith! Guard your peace, guard your hope and pray My word – My will.
“As heirs of the kingdom of heaven, you are to be led of My Holy Spirit. Repent and remember your First Love. Remember what you have received and heard; and keep it. Guard your words; your mouth speaks life or death. Choose life, and out of your inner most being will flow rivers of living water.”
Lovingly yours,
Abba

I pray you will read the attached article below (this is a clean link) written by the journalist I met while in Israel. There is a thought I want to share with you first.
The other day I kept hearing, "While you were sleeping." I thought about the movie with the same title, but different scenarios played out in my mind about what can happen while we are sleeping.
A light went on when I read where Brian Schrauger shared in this article that in 1938 the people were told by United Kingdom Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, "I recommend you go home and sleep quietly in your beds." I ask you, what is happening while we are spiritually asleep?
The UN votes tomorrow in Paris, and they are aligning themselves up against Israel. PLEASE PRAY FOR AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!! May the Church be SUDDENLY awakened in Jesus' mighty name and to the glory of our Father! Amen!
Psalm 33:10-12(NKJV) The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.
Isaiah 62:1 [ Assurance of Zion’s Salvation ] For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
Zechariah 2:8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
Recently, the Holy Spirit spoke something to me that was very simple but also very profound. I was asking for His wisdom and guidance for The Father’s Love Int’l Ministries. The Lord said, “This isn’t a destination you are on with Me, it is a journey. So enjoy the journey, Jewels. ENJOY THE JOURNEY!” He then told me to put on some music and repeated this simple command, “Enjoy the journey.”
The truth of this is so profound. We ALREADY have a destination in Christ. As we abide in Him, that destination is secure. Navigating the journey we call “life” is not an easy thing, and yet the Lord says to “Enjoy the journey.” What He wasn’t saying is that it was going to be easy or there would be no sorrow or pain – as we know that is reserved for heaven. He also isn’t saying we can do anything we want like a self-indulgent hedonist. What He is saying is that we can and should enjoy our time on earth with Him. I encourage you to take out my nickname, and place your name in this exhortation! Own it! Abba Father wants you to enjoy your journey with Him. This is a personal word He is giving you. Amen?
"The hour has come for you to completely wake up from your slumber, because your salvation is nearer now than when you first believed. Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, put on My armor, put on My light, put on My love, put on a garment of Praise. If you really want to see breakthrough in your life, take off the old man and deeds of darkness. Put on Christ!
"My soldiers – those who are the ambassadors of My love – are lining up. They are the ones who have been tried in My fire and have been tested in the wilderness. They have gone through many fastings and times of consecrated prayer. They know My voice and another they will not follow. These are the ones I trust to carry the fire of My love for the nations and to the nations. My love wins all battles. I Am calling you today to be part of that army. I Am asking you to get into formation. I Am beckoning you to war against hate with My love and forgiveness.
"Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy. Each time you choose mercy over judgment you overthrow the powers of darkness. Judge not or you will be judged. Instead, send confusion into the camp of the enemy by forgiving offenses. When the enemy seeks to strike at you, turn and praise and worship your God! Confound him with your praises of victory as My people did when they were surrounded by the enemy at The Valley of Berachah. You are more than conquerors through Christ who loves you, so go into the battle knowing that you have already won."
Scriptures to Ponder:
2 Chronicles 20:1-26; Isaiah 61:3; Matthew 5:7; 7:1, 2; Luke 6:36; John 3:16; 10:4, 5, 27; Romans 8:13; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Galatians 3:27; Ephesians 6:10-18; Colossians 3:1-17; 2 Tim 2:4
Trusting in the Lord
Many Christians, including myself, have had to declare with regularity, “Lord, I trust You!” We have read and heard teachings that “The Battle Belongs to the Lord!” However, we tend to do two things. One, we either fight until we are exhausted and at the end of our rope; or we sit back and do nothing and purport to be trusting God in the matter. I don’t believe either are Scriptural.
A principle wrongly attributed to Scripture is “God helps those who help themselves.” This statement is attributed to Aesop and later Benjamin Franklin. However,when we study the Scriptures, we see that there is truth to this idiom. God helps us, but there is action required on our part. Many examples come to mind, but let me just share these with you.
Send In the Praisers!
In 2 Chronicles 20, the people of Israel are backed up into a place they cannot escape the three great armies coming at them. Any one of the armies were big enough to annihilate the Israelites, but these wicked armies came together to make sure they wiped Israel off the face of the earth. (Where have we heard that before?) A prophet spoke up after they all had fasted and prayed, and said, “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
Did the Israelites lay around, eat popcorn, and wait to see how God would swoop in to save them? No! However, they did gain wisdom to do something out of the norm. Instead of sending the army out in front to fight, they put the praisers in holy attire and those worshippers went IN FRONT of the arm!* You see in this passage, the enemies of Israel were prepared for the fight, and King Jehoshaphat also readied his army; however, the king sent the praisers out and they SANG and PRAISED GOD! This was NOT the order of things! In the ears of their enemies, this singing was heard as a declaration that the victory was already won. Because of that, the enemy armies suspected treason and were self-slaughtered. God used the praises of His people to set ambushes against their enemies! Had Israel done nothing, how could God have sent confusion into the camp of the enemy armies?
What Are You Giving the Lord?
Like the loaves and fishes being multiplied by Jesus to feed the people, God multiplies what we give Him. If we give Him nothing, there is nothing to multiply. A million times zero is still zero.
Building Projects Face Obstacles
In Nehemiah, we see another example of how God fights for us. The Israelites are rebuilding the broken walls and gates of Jerusalem, but come under great persecution while trying to work. In chapter 4 verse 9 it states, “But we prayed to our God and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.” In verse 20 he says, “Our God will fight for us.”
At that point, do they lay back and see how God is going to do it? No. They carried on the work with half the men holding spears while the laborers worked with one hand and held a sword in the other! They worked from dawn until the stars came out and did not even chance changing their clothes. The work was so spread out, they had a signal worked out that if they heard the blowing of the trumpets, they were all to rally together for protection. Nehemiah said that when they rallied, “Our God will fight for us.”
Our Armor
Some would say that both of these examples are men doing something, and they did, but they did it with prayerful insight. Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:10 to “put on the full armor of God”. We are to “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might,” but we do that by dressing for battle and learning how to use those spiritual instruments of warfare. We have to act on what God shows us. James 2:20 states that “faith without works is dead,” so clearly action is required to prove out our faith. The key is to work in the strength, timing and manner the Lord reveals.
What to Do
Though there are many more examples of God fighting for us in Scripture, in every case, there is action taken by the believer. There is a time to pray and seek God’s face, there is a time to prepare, there is a time to fight, and there is a time to rest. Wisdom dictates which process we are in at any given point. The only way we can know is to seek the Lord and then do what He reveals. May peace make the ruling in what concerns you.
In the Father’s love

*(This by the way is why no one should be on a praise team or in a choir unless they are called to do so. Praisers who do not understand they are standing between the enemies of God and the church are in a very dangerous place. If you are called there, you know you have God’s grace.)
Are You Hungry for the Things of the Lord? It’s time to Eat!
By Judy A Bauman
August 31, 2016
After a productive week working on “Jewels from the River II,” I had a very vivid dream. There was a tiny house that I evidently owned and had rented. The occupant had moved out and the house was empty except for two aquariums filled with fish. One tank was big for the tiny house and stretched nearly the full width of it; the other was an average sized fish tank. The numerous fish in the larger tank were big (4-5”) for fresh-water aquarium fish. They were healthy, but hungry. (I have had reoccurring dreams for years where I realize I have fish that I have forgotten to feed. There is always food for them; I just have to give it to them. I have asked the Lord repeatedly what these dreams mean, but for the most part, I haven’t had clear understanding.)
There was something really wonderful and remarkable about the fish in the large tank of this particular dream. These fish had the faces of animals! They weren’t named after animals, like the lionfish, but actually had a miniature version of the face of an animal on a fish body. They were truly unique and beautiful. The first fish I saw in the large tank had the face of a male lion with a furry mane! I saw face of a bighorn ram on a fish – complete with large curled horns. There was an eagle’s face that had feathers, a zebra whose face and body were striped, but it had a long zebra nose. One looked like a goat and had such a sweet, innocent looking face. There were many more, but the last one I saw had the face of a horse with brown eyes, and long mane. They were all so amazing!!! The tank was full beyond capacity and each fish was different; however, they all seemed to live in unity.
I knew they were hungry, but was unsure what to feed them. They looked like they would each need a specialized diet. Then I looked over at the smaller aquarium and saw hundreds of goldfish in it. They were also hungry so I gave them flake food and they all readily ate it. I turned back to the fish in the large tank and saw feeding pellets on top of the hood. I put a good amount in because I knew there were a lot of them and they were ravenous. While contemplating whether I should give them some more, I woke up.
I shared this dream with my husband and a couple of friends, mainly because it was so vivid and amusing. However, through this dream, the Holy Spirit gave me a revelation about these “aquarium” dreams I’ve had over the years. Jesus used fish as an analogy for believers. (“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” Matthew 4:19)
Here is what I believe the Lord showed me: The reason these fish were so vivid and unique in the dream is that they represent us, the Church. God’s people are to be spiritually vivid and unique. We need the Father’s “daily bread” to sustain us. (Through food in the natural, the food that feeds us by studying Scripture, teaching of the Word, prophetic words that speak directly into our lives, and last but certainly not least, the promise of God’s covenant through remembering the Lord’s sacrifice by taking the Lord’s Supper. This is not so much about taking elements of communion as it is receiving JESUS. We must have a personal relationship with Him. We do not want to hear the Lord say, “Depart from Me, I never knew you...”)
The Fish (us) that I saw in this dream were vastly unique and marvelous creations of God, waiting for something they could eat that would give them sustenance. They were God’s delight and eager to receive something that would give them strength for the day. All I had to do was to put food in the water and they would eat what they needed. (We all have those we are called to feed, and others who are called to feed us.)
One Scripture that has always stood out to me, is found in Revelation 3:2, where the Lord admonishes, “strengthen the things which remain”. I do take the whole of that Scripture very seriously and I hope you do too. God is strengthening each of us by the power of His Spirit, but He doesn’t strengthen us void of the Church. He has called each of us into His service. Will we choose to put our hand to the plow, or lay back and assume someone else will do it? Remember, the foolish virgins in Matthew 25 did not go in because they did not invest in the needed oil. We need to be generous with our resources when it comes to the things of God.
There are seasons of rest and rejuvenation, but there are also seasons of clearing the land, weeding, uprooting, tearing down, building up, planting, watering, and harvesting. I am seeing and experiencing the change of the spiritual season we are in and rejoice for it! So many are losing hope, and we need rise up, dust ourselves off, and say, “Not on my watch!”
Let me pose some simple but very important questions inspired by a message my pastor recently gave:
How can you use those gifts to build the kingdom of heaven?
What do you love doing?
What are your skills?
What is your personality? Some people are more comfortable being behind the scenes, where others want to be personally involved. Whatever your personality, God has a place for you.
How can you incorporate your life’s experiences to best serve God’s people?
God is building something and we need to focus on what unites us and not what divides us. We live in a time that people are very polarized, but it is important we keep our eyes and ears in tune with the Lord. His ways are not our ways, and to Him, obedience is better than sacrifice. Be like the wise virgins and invest your time, talent, and resources into the work of the kingdom. Do not miss the opportunities that come your way to feed the Body of Christ and those who don’t yet know Jesus. We are all hungry, we all need to eat!
“Now is the time for clarity. As a bell rings with clear sound, the Body of Christ must make a sound for all to hear. The time is now for those I have called to work in harmony with My word. Instead of individual sounds, it is time to make the sound of unity without compromising the truth. What unites you all is Me. I Am love. Love is the common denominator.
“My Bell rings the sound of liberty; it is the sound of freedom. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!1 Freedom in Me is what you are to clearly proclaim. I’ve called you to proclaim liberty to the captives.2 Do not call conspiracy what others call conspiracy.3 Don’t waste time on controversies that draw your attention from My will. Walk in My LOVE and LIGHT.4 This is what people need to see. They need to see HOPE. They need see JOY. If all they see is arguing, they live and die in the world’s system. Ring out My truth and call My children home!”
Lovingly,
Your Abba

It has been a long time since I have written you all. Sometimes when we wait to see what God will say, He will test our resolve! Habakkuk 2:3 comes to mind:
“For the vision is yet for the appointed time;
It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it will not delay.” (NASV)
Recently, I told a friend that I feel like I am just coming out of a very long, cold winter. It’s so hot in Atlanta right now, it seems a strange analogy, but often things in the spirit are not at all like they are in the natural.
One big change for the ministry that I want to bring to your attention is that we have updated our website. So please check it out. www.thefathersloveim.org
My posts will be in blog form now. In fact, Make It Loud Web Designs, the company that built the site in 2005, have converted all my posts into blog form. (This was a little scary for me...) There are still some edits to be made here and there, but I will have to do that in time. Some of the photos and links are ‘broken’ and I will fix those as I come across them. This is ‘blog-thing’ is new to me so please be patient.
One things I do want to report (on the Mission side of things) is that the water well we raised funds in partnership with Riverstone Church has been built in India! Thank you so much for your part in it. Can you imagine? I am so excited that a whole village has water this summer because we linked arms and made it happen! You can find its location here:
Please keep this ministry in mind in your prayers. Thanks
In the Father’s love,

The Lord gave me this word quite a few years back, but I believe it’s again time to step out of the boat!
An Exhortation from the Lord to you: Come! Walk On Water!
“When I walked this earth, I told My disciples, ‘When the prince of this world comes, he has nothing in Me.’”
“Why was that? It was because I was completely submitted to My Father's will. I was committed to His purpose and plan. I was led by His Spirit – the Spirit of truth. I have given you the blueprint! Look at it. Follow it. Do not do anything that the Father hasn't shown you. My Father will never mislead you. He will lead you into places you did not know you could go, but if He has called you to a place for a purpose, He will fulfill it. It is My Spirit which will cause you to enjoy kingdom victory in that place.”
“Do not step out of the boat unless I invite you, but if I invite you COME!” Come immediately. Don't delay. Come! You know My voice, don't you? My sheep know My voice and you are my sheep. I have called you by name. Stop doubting. Stop having such small faith. You have My Spirit to teach you. You have My word to confirm to you what is truth. Speak My truth. Speak the words I give you. Don't delay; get out of the boat! Is it not your desire to walk on water?”
“Yes? Then come, Beloved. It is by My power and My grace that you are able. Your abilities are perfected in and by My grace. My power is made perfect in your weakness.” Will you come?”
Lovingly,
Your Shepherd
