It is a hungry world out there, beloved, a hungry world that cannot be satisfied with the things on this earth; a people who long for happiness and love but who cannot find it.

Some are openly unhappy and others seem like they have the perfect life, but without Me they are empty and scared inside with the reality of their existence getting louder and more visible every day.

You have the answer, dear one. You hold in your hand the key to true happiness, here, now and forevermore.  

Are you going to keep that secret just between us, or are you going to let it out?

Like a beautiful butterfly hatching from it’s cocoon, the whole world will take on new meaning as you share the glorious news with those I have carefully positioned around you.

Let them see the new day, too, My beloved child. Only in Me is there true happiness and everlasting life.

Romans 10:14-15, New King James Version:

“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!””

Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in Me. You believe in My Son. You believe in the Holy Spirit.  

In Heaven there is a  mansion which I have prepared for you. Do you have a mansion here, or is it a simple home? It makes no difference, for I have already prepared a lovely home just for you.

A home where you can freely come and go. One where you can invite guests over to share stories of love and praise. A home where health and happiness reigns. A home you will leave in the morning to do the work I have prepared for you to do, work which you love because it involves all the talents and desires I have given you. When you return in the evening, you will feel lighthearted and happy.

Six days you will work and on the seventh you will join all of heaven as we gather together and rejoice finally that sin, pain, evil and sorrow is gone forever and ever and only joy and peace and love remain.

Your voices will rise in joyous union praising Me. How blest that day will be! All My beloved ones will be together at last!!

I can hardly wait, dear one! Live life as if this day is just around the corner. Live life preparing for your big house on the hill: the house of love, laughter and praise that I have built for you already.

That where I am, there you may be also!

John 14:1-3, New King James Version:

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”

Oh the joy of a new day! There is so much that I want you to cherish and enjoy!  

First, take out the trash. By trash, I mean the garbage inside your mind. Clear all your problems, hang-ups, unforgiveness and insecurities out of your mind. Lay them at My feet. I will toss them out for you, and don’t try to grab them and hold onto them as they pass you by!

You don’t have the strength on your own to do this “house cleaning”. Only I can do it for you.

Now you are a clean slate for Me to mold and grow to be the person I created you to be.  

Open your Bible and read the Psalms. See where David learned of Me and praised Me. He  was FAR from perfect yet he always took time out to praise and worship Me. We were close and I was able to rule a nation through him. 

What are My plans to do with this new, cleaned-up you? Just wait and see. Trust Me. I have much in store for you this day!

Psalms 5:7-8, New King James Version:

“But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.”

Are you My soldier?  Do you feel like you are alone in a coliseum with a maddening crowd jeering at you, taunting you?

If you could only see the throngs of angels that would surround you if you bent your knee and asked Me for cover. My child is never alone.

I know you feel that way often. Fight back. Don’t let it overcome you. Reach out for My presence.  Spend time in prayer with Me, talking to Me. Tell Me your fears, your problems. Bring Me your pain and your loneliness.

I will surround you with love and a feeling of warmth. My child will never stand alone in a coliseum or anywhere on earth. The battle was WON at the cross so that you and I may be one as Jesus and I are one.

Rise up with joy and courage. Face this day and all it’s challenges with My promise of My continued presence in you and with you, now and forever.

Psalms 16:8, New King James Version:

“I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.”

Do you think often of the day when there will be no more sickness, no more pain and no more suffering? I, too, long for that day when I can bring all My children home to My care.

A world of joy and peace where only love reigns. Your body will be strong and beautiful. People will laugh, and if they cry, they will only cry tears of happiness.

Loved ones who have gone before will be reunited. There will be no misunderstanding or separations without Satan and his discontent. Only love and joy will be known.

And I will get to walk with you in full vision. You will sit with me and I will tell you the stories of long ago. There will be many there, but it will seem like you and I are alone together.

No more pain, dear one. Hang on to that promise, for it is real, very real.

For I so loved the world that I gave My only begotten Son that whosoever should believe in Me should not perish but should come and live in Heaven forever with Me.

John 3:16, The Passion Translation:

“For here is the way God loved the world—He gave His only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in Him will never perish but experience everlasting life.”

When you left your home to face the world, whether it was to go to work, or go grocery shopping, or to play a game of soccer, whatever it was, you left the safety of your quiet place. You could not see what was happening around you, but forces of evil were everywhere.  

Were you kind to those around you in the face of impatience or even rudeness? Did you smile at a downcast person, or encourage a friend or loved one? You were doing My work, dear one. And no matter what the devil put in front of you, you stood tall and strong for the principles of love.

So come now and let Me surround you with My peace. Some day I will ask you to lead in a stronger manner, but for now I am welcoming My warrior home to renew your strength so that you may rise up on the wings of an eagle.

Isaiah 40:29-31, New King James Version:

“He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths will faint and be weary, and the young men will utterly fall. But those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint.”

Can you hear the birds sing their notes of praise to Me this morning? How loudly they proclaim their joy and thanks!

In the midst of all your problems and the cares of the world, do you take time to thank Me? To praise Me?

Fix your eyes on Me, dear one, the author and finisher of your faith. Things that seemed so dark and murky will become clear to you. Don’t see things as the world sees them. See them for what they are.

My little warrior! How proud I am of you! When you return to your quiet place and say,  “I choose You, Lord,”, as you kneel before Me, I cover you with My loving arms and seek to fill your soul with peace.  

My little soldier is home again, safely in My arms.

Psalms 66:4, New King James Version:

“All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; they shall sing praises to Your name.” 

The picture I gave you several days ago of Me carrying you was My gift to you so you will know, now and always, how I love and care for you. You may think the world is falling down around you, but I am right beside you, loving and caring for you.  

Remember your “thus far” rock? The rock you found and put in your house so you could look at it whenever you were frightened and worried that the world was going to come crashing down around you? The rock is a reminder that “thus far” I have carried you. You are still standing, and “thus far” I will continue carrying you.

I will never let you down nor will I will ever let you go. The vision of Me carrying you when you think you can go no farther should always be able to be called to mind. 

And when you feel so alone, know that you are not, for I have picked you up and we are walking through the storm together.

Isaiah 41:10, New King James Version:

“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

Feel My presence, My beloved child. Let the light of My goodness pervade your soul. Breathe in the sanity of My Holy Spirit. Now, face the day.

You are clothed with My power and light. Nothing can touch you today.

Share My love with the hurting population around you, those who are frightened by world events happening quickly. Let them know about the bright future you have waiting for you. Let them know I see their suffering and I am the answer through it all.  

Satan would have this generation believe there is no hope, only pain and suffering. He would have them discount the death and resurrection of My perfect Son as trivial nonsense, and not reality. He would have them believe in Christ’s goodness as a person and the unity of world religions. He knows the only way to Me is through Christ and he will do anything he can to have this generation turn away from the One Perfect Gift.

Tell them, dear one. You are holding truth in your hand that will release souls from death into life and happiness. Tell them there is one way to Me and the knowledge of Him will bring joy and love such as they have never felt in their lives.

John 14:6-7, New King James Version:

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.””

Let the joy rise up in your soul this morning, and My love flow over you as you bask in My favor.

You are My cherished child. Imperfect in so many ways, yet because of Christ’s death on the cross, the shedding of His blood for you, I see you as My perfect lamb, but one that is hurting and scared inside.

Oh, My dear one, do not be. I watch over you like an eagle watches it’s prey as he soars in the skies. I long to swoop down and gather you up unto Myself.  

But for right now, you are where you need to be. I am training you to be a strong warrior for Me.  Yes, My little lamb is needed in this world…a very important piece of the puzzle.

Keep listening. Keep trusting.

You are Mine and I am yours.

Joshua 1:9, New King James Version:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
