7/12/11

The Spirit of the Lord says:

Restoration, transition, and realigning, is what is most necessary now! I have been busy in the lives of all My children doing just that. In order to restore things that were stolen, snatched away, or never brought to fruition, I have needed to realign you to be able to receive. Things that you felt you did not deserve, and yet others you felt was owed you, this is part of the realigning that was most necessary, a changed mindset, one that was in line with Mine. I know for some what has come upon you seems to difficult to bear, but some things have been allowed to cause you to look to the hands that formed you for the help and assistance that only could come from Me. Still others have had a relatively easier transition, some because of the yielded hearts, and knowing My ways enough that their was great trust that I would not have abandoned them in the greatest transition of their lives. Others had an easier realignment based upon their age in Me, and I have only begun to work in them. This is why, you must learn at these seasons of change, not to measure yourself by others, for you can not know all the intimate details that I alone know. Be assured My dear ones that you are truly the center of all that I am doing and no matter what it looks like now, you must tell yourself that it is for your growing. Yes, I Am making you to be My glorious Church, My bride, My royal priesthood. I Am setting you up to elevate you, all those who have been brought low I will exalt, this is My promise. In order that you may be strong like a tree that is planted by the rivers that is not moved by the heat of life and circumstances, but always, no matter the seasons of life bringing forth fruit. I depend upon this in you, that is why I never quit tilling and pruning in my garden until I receive the harvest that is due Me, the Faithful farmer and vine dresser!

You must be watchful for all of the little foxes, those things that creep into your mind and heart and ravish all that I have been dutiful about tending and nurturing in your heart. Keep the weeds of hatred, bitterness, envy, jealousy, and all of the other little things that if you leave will begin to rise like yeast and strangle all that is like Me in you. For our enemy is busy also, sowing these kinds of weeds and tares in the hearts of My children, trying to grow fields of selfishness and love-lessness. You must be a watchman in your life, we are co-laborers, catch him at the onset. For My restoration, transitioning, and realigning, will not be fruitless, but you will learn, take heed, and apply all of these nutrients that I have applied and grow into a mighty tree that will not be moved.
