RESTORATION - AS IN THE BEGINNING

(A Word of Exhortation)

The Ancient of Days has called you to His side, to walk and talk with Him in the cool of the day. Far before the sun even rises, you will rise up with victory in your wings, making a covenant to commit your day and life into His hands. For this is a new day and a new beginning for you. Old things have passed away; behold, all things are made new, and I am calling you to My side to talk with Me, to walk with Me, to intimately commune with Me, for you must draw close and know My voice, to know My wisdom and knowledge for you, to have My strength to carry on My mission, My calling for your life. For you must lay down completely your will so that My will be done in you and through you.

Fret not for evil doers are all around you, but I have made you as a light in a dark path so that others can follow your example of faithfulness to Me. For yes, this is the end times, and you must be ready at all times to lay aside your comforts so that My will be done and so that My kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven; but I will bless you abundantly in all ways for your commitment of faithfulness to Me. For yes, I will supply all your needs. I will restore healing and health to you, so that you can walk strong to be a light in this dark world. And yes, My joy must be your strength, and My peace must pass all your understanding of all that is around you.

For you must walk by faith and not by sight, casting down all vain imaginations that try to exalt themselves over My will for your life For yes, I will bless you. I will exalt you. I will call you by My name for you are Mine. I love you with the love of the Lord Who will never leave you or forsake you. For I AM your Father, the Ancient of Days, and I am calling you to come up higher, to cast off all hindrances, to cry out for My great grace to establish you when the enemy comes on as a flood to throw you off balance and to agitate you.

Love Me with all your heart, soul and strength. Depend on Me, trust Me, draw close to Me. Do not trust in your own strength, for only when you are weak can you be strong admitting that you cannot make it on your own. Humble yourself before Me, and I will lift you up. A man who has great strength is one who has control over His emotions, his words, and allows meekness to rule his thoughts, words and deeds.

Remember this is the day that I have made, and you can rejoice in it. I am sovereign and in control of all things that concern you and your livelihood. So rest in My faithfulness and carry on. For yes, you will rest. You will triumph. You will overcome. I have seen it. I have spoken it, and it will be done!
