        ...."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

                                        WE MUST BE FOUND TRUSTING THE FATHER [AND HIS WORD] COMPLETELY IN THIS HOUR


Words of prophecy:


*       If you trust Me you will obey Me!

*       It is My Will for each one of My children to be given "wholly" to Me, that is, to trust Me for their sufficiency in "every" aspect of their lives.

*       A "spirit of mistrust's" duty is to keep My people in a position wherein they do not trust Me "wholeheartedly". Another aspect of this evil spirit's work is to bring people into a place of "trusting" in anything that is apart from My Word [Will]. And as they are "allowed" to do this they will surely keep the targeted ones out of My Will and, thus, out of the fullness of the ministry that I called them to.

*       My people "must" believe that I am who I say I am and that I will do what I said I would do! Is it not written I am watching over My Word to perform it? If My people will just simply trust Me then I shall surely show them what it means when I said, I will "give them the desires of their heart." For as they acknowledge Me in "all" their ways then I shall be enabled to place My "perfect desires" in their heart and, thus, they will in no way "allow" the Evil One to deceive them with false [ungodly] desires - desires that, as they are sought after, shall surely lead My children continually farther from My "best" for their lives and ministries.

*       In these days, I am bringing my "forerunners" into perfect position - both spiritually and locationally. At times, this "transition" will cause you to experience a "seeming" disorientation that will lead you to feel a certain "discomfort" but, in reality, I am doing the necessary fine-tuning [polishing] that will, ultimately, lead you into the fullness of your precious destiny [Kingdom-position]. Truly I say to you, I will make ALL things evident in this most critical and glorious hour to those who truly love Me - those whose heart is wholly given to My highest purposes. For it is My deepest heart-desire to establish a Glorious Church in the earth - a Church without spot or wrinkle. Trust Me in ALL things for I am with you - and I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!

*       ALL that I have for you, My beloved one, awaits only your "perfect" obedience. Trust Me for the perfect empowerment [Grace] needed for you to obey in ALL things. For this is an hour when the "fullness" of My blessings shall begin to "overtake", to a continually greater degree, all those who have been faithful and obedient to My highest purposes [Deuteronomy 28:1-2] - concerning both the Church, and My Kingdom.

*
       "All" disappointment stems from a "misplaced" faith [trust]. Every one of My children must take as their only standard, the revealed knowledge of My Word - for it is then and only then, that they will be able to walk above the "certain disappointment " that comes from a continued reliance upon the things which are "seen" [perceived through the five physical senses]. Therefore, if one of My children are found to be suffering disappointment and defeat in an area of their walk, they need only seek My Will and wisdom in that area and, as they "fix" their eyes solely on the revealed knowledge of My Word, they will no longer suffer any disappointment and frustration, for their faith shall no longer be misplaced and they shall surely gain the victory [Romans 9:33].


        ...."In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them. To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed"....

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Psalms 22:4-5 NASB

        ...."O keep me, Lord, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed or disappointed, for my trust and my refuge are in You"....

                                                                                                                                                                        Psalms 25:20 The Amplified Translation


        ...."For thus it stands in Scripture: Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen [honored], precious chief Cornerstone, and he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall never be disappointed or put to shame. [Isa. 28:16.]"....
                                                                                                                                                                                                        1 Peter 2:6 The Amplified Translation

 
          We must be found trusting the Father [and His Word] completely in this hour and put aside anything that even remotely looks like fear - or the mistrust that perhaps is the product of any past "misunderstandings" concerning His dealings with us. I am telling you this: we can have the total assurance that the Father has been working [and is continuing to work] - powerfully on our behalf in order to bring the "secret desires" of our heart to pass. Do not be afraid to act in whatever manner the Holy Spirit leads you to act - even if it appears that you are laying your heart out in the open. NEVER allow yourself to succumb to the lie of the Evil One that you will be "disappointed" or "hurt" when you open your heart wholly to the Father - THAT IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY! The only time one can be disappointed or "hurt" is when they place their "hope" and trust [faith] in themselves [or others before God] and, thus, seek to find their security [comfort] in their own thinking and actions and self-sufficiency when, in reality, only God's Grace is sufficient - and that FOR ALL THINGS! This is truly a time to "let go" for all those who truly love God. Even though it sometimes "feels" or "seems" like we are jumping off of a steep cliff with no safety net below it is ALWAYS - yes I said always - a perfect landing in the arms of a loving Father - and the very "ground" that had hindered us from receiving the fulness of His glorious blessing is forever gone as we are faithful to "step out" in an absolute faith and trust in Him! So hold fast your confession and begin to speak [boldly proclaim] those things that you truly desire most. IF you will do that THEN the Devil will literally get knocked right out of the way and the fullness of the Father's Will shall begin to "unfold" in your life in these days at an extremely accelerated pace!
