Today is the day of great salvation. There is much chaos coming in the days and times ahead, but know and trust I am shaking things, and stirring hearts and shaking foundations and shaking establishments, and shaking all that can be shaken. The shaking and stirring is accelerating the days in which you are now living. It is a time of seasoning and a time of cooking. A time of preparation and maturing – to make things ready.
For my heart is calling out to all, that none would perish but all would come together to enjoy the marriage, to partake in the great wedding. For surely all are invited. Though few will accept the invitation I am sending you out with a message, a message that’s near and dear to my heart.
And at times your heart will burn with a message, you will feel compelled to get out into the streets and sidewalks and move among my people, and inspire them, and share with them, and love them. I will burn within your heart and your inner man a message that cannot remain silent.
And I am putting a message within your mouth. I will speak through you. I will give you the words to say.
For I will not send you out without purpose to wonder aimlessly. But I will guide you. I will bring you to them, and I will bring them to you. You will meet together and there will be many divine appointments I have arranged. And even now, as you hear my still, small voice, know I am moving and stirring within you, compelling you to move, compelling you to stand up and proclaim the day of salvation to all who have not yet heard, to those who do not yet know.
For it is my heart’s desire that none would perish. For I am the good shepherd who would lay down his life for his sheep. And I am the good shepherd who is willing to leave the ninety-nine in order to find and rescue the one lost sheep. I do not consider it adequate to have the only the ninety-nine because my heart burns and longs for the lost, to draw them into the flock and to bring them into the family. It is not a small or trivial thing for me. It is my passion. It is my heart’s desire.
So as your heart begins to burn, and this burn becomes uncomfortable, know it is my spirit burning within you, compelling you to get out to the streets, and the sidewalks, and to the highways, and the media, and the meetings and to share the good news of the kingdom. For today is the day of salvation. I am calling you to be join with me in this hour, for the day is at hand. For behold, I am coming quickly and I am bringing my reward with me.
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
Lord, I'm so grateful for your faithfulness, for never leaving us when we blow it.
I know of nothing else in this world that creates greater security than realizing how faithful God's love is towards us even when (especially when) we make huge mistakes.
It's true!
We can be confident we are loved regardless if we "get it right" or not because God's love for us is not based on how we perform or behave, but rather, based on who he is. It's his nature to love - and he loves us greatly!
When we understand this, and really let this piece of truth sink in to our hearts it liberates us from all kinds of guilt, shame and condemnation we may feel otherwise.
It also inspires us to love.
It inspires us to love God. It inspires us to love ourselves. It inspires us to love our neighbors. Heck! It even inspires us to love our enemies.
This kind of love is so transformative to our human hearts.
God, I'm so very, very grateful that you love us like you do, and that you never leave us even when we make huge blunders.
Blessings to you,
