"Refreshing & Renewing"
Jan 16th, 2012
“ I'm taking many of you into times of repentance & deeper healing to finish My work in you in preparation for awakening at hand. Do not be surprised at accentuated emotions hitting you. I am causing to come to the surface anything hidden down in your heart.
All unbelief & fears, all anger or resentments, all jealousies, or rejection & all manner of other offenses will be removed if you ALLOW Me. I want you to come near & be in My Presence, for a willing heart & worship will be all it takes to get you to a place of humility where I can confront what you haven't wanted to look at in yourselves, or already know but haven't been able to get free of it.
The season has changed, so don't expect disappointment. EXPECT healing & deliverance when in My presence! Expect things to change. Praise Me when they do & testify of My great mercy, for I am pouring out great GRACE in this hour & a vengeance against the enemy is in progress.
He thinks he's had the upper hand, but in this hour I will pour out DOUBLE grace to anyone who comes & is willing to allow me to look into your heart, see, & touch. It is a new hour ! I am doing a NEW THING. It is springing forth NOW. I am arising in your hearts NOW.
Where you have been discouraged at lack of deliverance & healing in your loved ones, your children who have gone astray, & been held captive by the enemy, KNOW that I AM ARISING with GRACE, & LOVE to pour out in them. I AM an experience, & I will loose REVELATION that they will know Me for themselves. Do not be unbelieving. EXPECT Me to do something very supernatural in this hour.
Those that have been ostracized by the church will find their niche in associations with others who will accept you & protect you, & appreciate the gifts I have put in you. I am working on MY WHOLE BODY. So do not run with skepticism or suspicion in your hearts. Run with expectation of reversals & turn arounds.
For I am causing many who misunderstood you to repent of their wickedness, or neglect & criticism, or jealousies to turn & making them new. I need a prepared & unified army. Thus I am pouring out DOUBLE GRACE & cleansing My threshing floors. I am removing all dead wood, & the sword of the LORD will do what cannot be removed by kindness, & mercy.
Those who resist will be most sorry. So don't focus on others. Focus on your own lives, & rout the little foxes that spoil the vine. Give ME what you are ashamed of. Give ME all your concerns, & proclaim your desire to be free, & watch to see that I WILL bring My Spirit to do the work in you that is needed to restore your life, & refresh you.
I will make your words like apples of silver in settings of gold. I will show you how to be kind to the ungrateful & those who have belittled & underestimated you. Do not struggle to make a name for yourself.
How do you know oh man, if I have not kept you hidden for your own protection, for many will go into bondage under persecution in the days ahead. Many will die for the sake of the gospel. Do not struggle to be seen.
KNOW THAT I SEE, & that is enough. Forsake all selfish ambition that comes from lack of recognition & rejection. Lay everything that is offense on the altar like Abraham, & rest in ME, & I will lift you up when it is time. TRUST ME with your life COMPLETELY!
I know many of you are wanting to do more, seeing all the need. But I am big enough to do it all Myself if I want. PRAY, & don't strive at anything. I am WITH you! I am IN you. So allow ME to nurture your heart, & lead you in the way I HAVE ESTABLISHED since I knew before you were born what I would do with you.
I know the choices you will make ahead of time. So stop trying to figure everything out, & allow me to guide you into paths of righteousness, & paths of grace, & paths of peace & love, & allow ME to guide your life in the direction I've planned for you.
Trust Me when I say the time is NOW, when I will bring to fruition all that I've told you already for your life. The glory will clear away all the confusion, or mystery in time, as you REST in My presence & quiet yourself in Me.
All will become crystal clear, if you will but REST, & TRUST Me to show you what you need now. Cling to Me beloveds, come away with ME & listen to what I want to say. I am waiting for you.”
Isa 30:15-16 NKJV For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness & confidence shall be your strength." But you would not, 16 And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses" —
Therefore you shall flee! And, "We will ride on swift horses" — Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!
Prov 17:1 NKJV Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.
Isa 32:17-19 NKJV 17 The work of righteousness will be peace, & the effect of righteousness, quietness & assurance forever. 18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, & in quiet resting places, 19 Though hail comes down on the forest, & the city is brought low in humiliation.
