Hearken, hearken, to the voice of the Lord...

Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I shall give you rest. In the midst of the tempests and storms raging around you shall I give you perfect peace and rest, if you keep your mind stayed on Me. Let not the clamour of the world cause you to stray from the path I have chosen for you to tread. As you commit and trust your lives unto Me I shall bring you above the storms of life, into that haven of peace where you shall see My power and My glory...where you shall minister with Me My wonders to perform. My beloved people, you must be willing to give up the ways of the world in order to come into this place in Me.

Know ye that you need only ask and I shall give you new desires...I shall give you the strength to be willing...I shall reveal My will unto you. As you recognize My hand of cleansing and purging upon you, then shall you know that you are being made ready for a new walk with Me...that you are being made ready for the ministries I have chosen for you. And I shall give you good gifts...the spiritual gifts I have in store for you. Each of you shall minister for Me in a mighty way in the harvest of souls destined for My kingdom in the days ahead. You shall minister with My power and the miracles you shall see shall utterly confound you. You must, you must, put all fear from you and cleave only unto Me for I am the source of your power. Be ever ready to go into battle with Satan for he is bringing all his resources against My people in these last days. I have given you the armour to keep you safe from his fiery darts, see that you are covered with it at all times.

Beware of false prophets for many there be in the world today. They are spewing forth words that are not My Words so learn to weigh everything you hear and to test it in the pages of Scripture. Many there be whose lives have been ruined because they acted on a wrong word so be not ensnared. Know ye that there shall be a confirmation for every word of direction that goes forth from Me so do not act until you receive it. As you study the Scriptures faithfully much shall be revealed unto you to guide you in your walk with Me. Know ye that I desire to walk with you and to talk with you as you open your hearts fully unto Me.

The world is standing on the brink of the greatest time of trouble and turmoil this world has ever known. Be not anxious for what is happening in the world for it is in the midst of the trouble and turmoil that multitudes shall be swept into My kingdom. You, My people, shall be the vessels I shall use to accomplish this task. I implore you to keep your vessel clean and shining for you know not the day nor the hour I shall put it to use. "How do I keep my vessel clean?" you may ask, and I tell you now, by much time spend in study of My Word and in seeking Me in prayer.

My children, My children...

I look down upon each one of you and I see the storms that are beating upon you...the storms of sickness and disease, the storms of disunity in your homes, the storms of rebellious children, the storms of financial problems. I grieve for you for many of you are not coming to Me with your needs...you think that you can solve all things in your own power. Many of you are ignoring the weapons of battle that I have provided for you...the weapons that would destroy the works of Satan in your lives.

Many of you are ignoring the power and the strength to be found as you faithfully spend time in prayer and study of My Word. My Word is sharper than a two-edged sword and within its pages are to be found all that you need to live a totally victorious life.

Great perils, as foretold by the prophets of old, shall come upon My people throughout the world...perils of persecution by the strange new groups which have arisen throughout the land, perils of war, of famine, and of earthquakes. Be not lulled into apathy by those who would say that no perils shall befall you. O yes, My people, in an instant of time I could remove all perils from you but were I to do so you would have no need for Me and would turn away from me as did My chosen people of old.

It is in the midst of the perils that you shall be the vessels I shall use to bring in My end time harvest of souls. O My people, prepare yourselves with repentance of every sin, with sorrow for them and with a new desire to become all that I want you to be. I tell you now, I have so many rich blessings to pour out upon each one of you but you cannot receive them with unrepented sin in your lives. Fearlessly search your hearts today in the light of My Word and desire to come into that place where you stand pure and holy before Me.

Know ye that in the perils I shall sustain you, I shall be with you, I shall guide you. O yes, I could hide you under My wings where no foe could come against you but it is My desire that you move out with the power of My Holy Spirit into the midst of the perils and accomplish that which I desire you to do. Cultivate a listening attitude, make time in your busyness just to sit at My feet and receive My direction for your lives. So many of you are so caught up in the busyness of the world that I cannot get your attention and so you do not hear Me. So many of you proclaim that the Lord does not speak to you. Beloved, I yearn to speak with all of My people but few of you are listening. Come, come unto Me in quietness of spirit and receive from Me all that I would say unto you.

Rest in Me and receive My peace and My joy which I so desire to give unto you. Be not concerned with the things of the world but know that My Father is in complete control and that events shall happen according to His will. Cleave only unto me,. Put not your trust in anything of the world, and in the midst of the perils shall you see My hand at work.

Hearken unto the voice of the Lord...

The storm clouds are gathering, My People, the lightening flashes, the thunder resounds from the heavens. Take shelter, My people, come into the haven of protection for the storm shall be fierce. There is no protection anywhere except that can be found in the shadow of My wings.

Beloved, as you stay in the shadow of My wings, obeying My instructions, then shall you receive your reward. My children, as the calamities of the world begin to come upon you, resolve to call out to Me, as did David...

Then shall you, like David proclaim...

My little children, I beseech you not to reject the provisions I have made for you as did the people of Jerusalem so long ago.

In this hour of chaos throughout the world how I long to gather My children under My wings, as a hen with her chicks but so many of you are not willing. Many of you are not even aware of the intense activity of Satan as he gathers his forces to come against My people, and will be caught unawares. My Scriptures contain many warnings of the false teachers and false prophets who will arise in the last days to confuse My people.

Yea, they shall come secretly into your midst to spy out the liberty you have in Me, to endeavour to bring you again into bondage. My beloved people, I beseech you to come into that place where you are able to say, with Paul "to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you." Take warning, My children, that the forces of Satan are mighty and if you stray from My side you could easily be drawn into their snares. Listen, listen, My people, for the evidence of the wiles of Satan and his cohorts is all around you for they have infiltrated into your governments, your school systems, your business world and even into some of your churches. Be aware, My children, of the strange, new beliefs they are spewing forth and then come to Me in prayer...fervent prayer for My saints everywhere, that none be deceived. Their message is so subtle that even you, My elect, shall be deceived unless you know My Word, unless you are praying for the protection of My shed blood, unless you are constantly clad in My armour.

There is great power in the prayer of agreement and I admonish you to come together in complete unity, praying in agrement as one body for My protection in these days of turmoil around the world. Know ye always, My children, that I am constantly by your side, ready to minister to you as you call unto Me. I point you unto My Words contained in the Ninety First Psalm which are for you today and which each one of you needs to claim for yourselves...
