        ...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB

    THE GATE AND PATH THAT LEAD TO KINGDOM-LIFE ARE INDEED NARROW - BUT ON IT ARE FOUND BOTH THE FATHER AND JESUS
                            

Words of prophecy:

*        My ways are not your ways. Your task is to be faithful to what you "know" to do. Narrow is the path that I have called you to walk upon, but I say to you this day, each step shall be firm and sure for I will both "order" and empower them!


        ...."Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. [Deut. 30:19; Jer. 21:8.]"....

        ...."God is my strong fortress; and He sets the blameless in His way. He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me on my high places"....

                                                                                                                                                                                                               2 Samuel 22:33-34 NASB


          It is ONLY individual obedience on the behalf of the believer that will cause them to enter into the fullness of Kingdom-living - and their proper spiritual positioning, corporately, in the Glorious Church. Throughout the Body of Christ there have been many people who have been in the "cave" for many years. They have been faithful to fellowship with the Father and His Word in the "inner chamber" and, thus, they have a deep and abiding revelation of His heart concerning the Glorious Church and the Kingdom. These are a people who, through many tests and trials, have learned obedience [Hebrews 5:8] - and to acknowledge God in ALL of their ways. It is written, that if one acknowledges God in ALL of their ways THEN He shall surely direct their paths [Proverbs 3:5-6] - and indeed that which the Father directs [commands], He empowers - in order that one might fulfil all that they were created for, in Christ. In this hour, the Father is going to bring these "cave-dwellers" together, and the years of separation unto Him, individually, will begin to bear much fruit, corporately, in the remnant Church. The path we are called to as "true" sons and daughters of God is indeed narrow, but on it are found both the Father and Jesus. When Jesus stated that He would NEVER fail us or forsake us He meant it! There is a fellowship available with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit that, up until this time, few have entered into in the "fullness" that they were meant to. In this hour, many will begin to truly enter into the intimate fellowship with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit that is available to them and, thus, they will immediately begin to rise above those things [bondages] that had kept them in a place of fear and unbelief - far, far below the fullness of their Kingdom-position and calling, in Christ. Again, ONLY those who are seeking whole-heartedly to enter into the place of abiding in Christ shall be found in their proper "spiritual positioning" - bearing fruit for the Kingdom and the establishment of the Glorious Church in this most critical hour! In light of these things, let us take the words of Jesus below personally into our lives, and allow the Holy Spirit [Who is the Spirit of wisdom and revelation] to emblazon them on our heart - for, in doing so, it is certain that we will begin to enter into the spiritual reality of who we truly are in Christ - and walk with God, daily, in a manner we never even thought was possible this side of Heaven, itself!

        ...."The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.] Judas, not Iscariot, asked Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself [make Yourself real] to us and not to the world? Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him"....

Words of prophecy:

*       Rejoice, My beloved ones, for in these days I shall give you the deepest desires of your heart, and you shall abide in Me and I in you, and We [the Father and I] shall dwell with you, and we shall continually disclose Ourselves to you for the remainder of your days - and throughout Eternity. Again, I say to you, rejoice, for your time has come, and your faithfulness shall be rewarded - both now and in the ages to come.
