O, My children, I entreat you not to lose hope in My glory coming upon you as you are obedient in doing My will.
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance, character, and character hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Rom. 5:3-5)
My beloved, you shall experience all these characteristics as you minister for me in this new year. I shall renew your strength and you shall know My joy in all that you do. I have need of you to be My followers in these difficult days you are encountering. I need to use your feet to take you where I want you to go. I need your hands to accomplish what I want you to do. I need your eyes to help you see what I want you to see. I need your tongue that I may speak to the people through you.
I shall anoint the members of your body and you shall go forth with the power of My Holy Spirit upon you to touch the multitudes for Me. Sin abounds in the world, even some of My people have fallen into sin and must repent.
O, My precious people, build up your faith by spending much time in My Word, studying and storing it in your heart. Spend much time in fellowship with Me and in prayer. Learn to hear My voice speaking to you, then go and do what I have instructed you. I do not tell you that all will be easy for you because you will encounter times of hardship and trial. I do tell you that I will watch over you, I shall direct your steps. I shall speak My Words through you that will encourage and bless all who hear. My people, I say unto you, great shall be the rewards of your ministries, as you are faithful in serving Me.
