“Many are in need of a respite because their lives have been so disrupted & filled with stress or sorrow. I AM YOUR SOURCE FOR ALL YOU NEED. I AM YOUR RESPITE IF YOU WILL JUST COME & SIT AT MY FEET, I WILL REFRESH YOU. Lay down all your cares & stresses at the cross, & come away with Me beloveds. REST in My arms, & be with Me so I can bring all you need.

I AM the Good Father Who gives good gifts to His children. But I AM also the disciplinarian Who knows what will drive you to My feet if you resist coming. So listen to My heart’s cry to have time with you. It is only for your benefit beloveds. You know the end of the history, so don’t delay or put off time with Me. RESTING in My arms is the best place to be. Let Me hold you! Let Me love on you. It only takes faith, mustard seed faith. Not huge faith, but small as a mustard seed!!!

Some of you are surprised by the troubled waters surrounding you, but I told you beforehand that it would be coming. If you listen to My prophets then you know there are challenges ahead that will require My fellowship with you, that You could come to know Me more & I AM like a man acquainted with grief. I lived in your world & while I was there, I felt what you feel. It was a turbulent time when I was there, as you know. The Roman empire was ruling & reigning, crucifying, & oppressing. Do not be surprised as these things are also now relevant in your lives, for you know the end from the beginning as told in My Book. DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE. I AM YOUR HOPE. I AM your Savior & HEALER, your Deliverer & Comforter, your Counselor & King.
I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU & along side you. I have your back. Some of you have been so let down by the stress of the times but know that I see everything. I do test the hearts of men. My word says so.

Jeremiah 17:10 “I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.

Psalm 7:9 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.
Isaiah 48:10 “Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
Zechariah 13:9 “And I will bring the third part through the fire,
Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name, & I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ & they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
1 Corinthians 3:13 each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work.
James 1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Try to remember that those that complained in the desert were not allowed into the promised land. They refused to believe in My goodness towards them.

Will you be able to hold on to me when under more persecution beloveds? Will you be able to love those who persecute you? For if you only love those who love you, how are you better than the pharisees I have said. Will you be able to forgive quickly those who trample your feelings. For in other nations, many are suffering much worse torment, torture & harassment.

Endurance will come when you go through trials, & patience will have it’s perfect work in you. The Chinese saints are enduring far worse & have been for years. They have been tortured & murdered for the faith they have. I know you don’t want to be reminded of this after what the world has gone through. But don’t worry. I AM WITH YOU, as I have been with them in the worst of situations. Like the early Christians there will come a time in days ahead when you must endure what they went through, but not till I say. For I ALONE HOLD THE KEYS TO DEATH & HELL!! And I have much work yet for you to do, to help me with but it will not seem like work once I empower you so hold on because the whole world is going to be changed. Some things will not change as much but so much WILL change because of My army of Reknown.

Those wrapped in fear will not be able to withstand the wickedness, thus I have had a plan in mind for a LONG time, trust me, to counter all that the enemy would try to do to dissuade you, limit you, & destroy you. HE CANNOT STOP WHAT IS COMING. SIGNS & WONDERS, & MIRACLES OF EVERY KIND WILL BE IMPLEMENTED & YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. Don’t run away from ME when I touch you for I AM NOT the destroyer, I AM the Creator. I AM the Father Who loves you & whose Son laid down His life for you. Will you also lay down yours as He did, & allow ME to be LORD?”
