You are being planted. Like a tree beside a riverbed, your roots are going
deeper and deeper into the soil of my truth. Have I not said, "My words are
spirit and they are life?" As you read and meditate upon my Word, new life
is taking place inside your heart. New vitality of spirit is filling your heart
to where you can now say,"Father, you know what is best for my life, and
it is in your hands."
You are coming to a new place of trust and surrender; and daughter, I am
pleased with such a surrender, for I see the whole photo album of your life,
from pre-conception to the day I bring you before me and declare, "Well done, daughter, my good and faithful servant."
Yes, I see it all, and even though some of the pictures looked flawed and torn, to you, and even to others, I want you to know that I am doing a mighty on-going work of restoration in your life.
As you cooperate with me, new vision will be yours, and you too, will see the masterpiece I am bringing forth for display, and even you will say, "It is a good work that my Father is doing in me", and many will be blessed by this restorative work I am doing in you.
So my daughter, allow me to continue to plant you deeply in my words of truth and life so that you may grow strong and upright, and that you would even provide shade for others who have grown weary by events of the earth life, and that they may even pluck the fruit your life has produced, and be strengthened by it.

Chosen to Write Your Heart
Father, I have an unquenchable, burning desire to write for you; but even more, the desire is to write what is on your heart. I cannot do this without knowing you intimately. And Father, I desire to know you more intimately today, than I did yesterday.
I desire to write to those who are weary, to those who are discouraged, and have lost hope. To those who are about to let go of life, my heart’s desire is to not only tell them, “Hang in there; you can make it,” but my strong desire is to show them how to make it by giving them a picture of you,through the words you whisper to me.
Many of your own children do not know how much you love them. Their view of you has been distorted by earthly fathers who did not know how to love. I desire to draw a picture of your perfect father heart, a heart that beats only for your children.
Thank you, Father, for choosing me to write your heart. Help me to be found faithful, doing what you have called me to do when you return to this earth. And Father, it is my sincere prayer that the weary ones you have assigned me will find a place of refreshing and hope to anchor their soul, in part, as a result of my obedience, and my intimate relationship with you.

A Letter From My Father
My child, how pleased I am that you are sitting before Me, in my presence,
with pen and paper, seeking honestly to hear what I have to say.
You and I have had many wonderful times together; it has been quite a journey...but my child, the journey has only begun. We have not come close to what I have for you. I never get ahead of myself and reveal things too soon, or out of context, when it comes to my children.
I see your struggles, your questions, your anxieties, and sometimes my heart hurts for you as you go through life. Be patient, my Child. Keep standing...keep singing....keep rejoicing, keep writing, and walk on. Keep speaking my Word for it is out of your mouth that my praise is perfected.
Search after me as you would a valuable treasure. Be willing to let go of everything this earthly life has to offer, in order to find Me...I am that Pearl
of Great Price, that priceless gem that sparkles in the night. It is through letting go that you can accept change.
As you have learned in my Word, my desire is to transform you from glory to glory. As you submit to change and dare to embrace it, you will progress in Me. You will become more like Me, and more attuned to my Holy Spirit.
Is change painful? Yes, because it is never easy to let go of what is comfortable, even though the comfortable may not be my perfect will.
The only way you can survive the process of change is to do what my Son did, as he hung there on that cross. He focused on what lay before Him...It was the focusing that enabled him to say, "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they are doing."
He chose to focus on the joy that was to come to all who accept Him, and to not look at the shame and suffering of the cross.
So, My Child, once again, let me say that it pleases me to hear from you. You are a delight to Me.
Keep listening, and keep writing, and I will show you more. I will give you the desires of your heart, for my desires will become your very own.
Your Father,
God

Hear the Word of the Lord!
"You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that
you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still
to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. All these
are the beginning of birth pains." (Matthew 24:6-8 NIV)
These are troubled times, unprecedented times of confusion, adversity,
and violence. A SHAKING is taking place in the earth. The Lord told us
in Haggai, chapter 2 that He will shake not only the earth, but the heavens,
the sea and the dry land. He will shake all nations, and then He will fill
His house,(his body, the Church) with GLORY.
In these days, many are looking to man and saying, "Where shall we go?
What shall we do? Who will solve our delima? Who will bring prosperity
and stability in our land, and in the earth?"
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD..........
"Many who have not become rooted and grounded in my Word, have strayed from the truth. But I say to you to remember the words of Peter when I asked him if he was going to leave me, too. He replied, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." (John 6:68 NIV)
In this time of shaking, look to Me, the Lord your God, Maker of heaven and earth. I Am still on my throne, and the earth is my footstool. In these desperate, troubled times, the earth is crying and groaning for the release of MY GLORY to come forth.
In this groaning are floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, and hurricanes,
sweeping across the earth as a result of the shaking. But the shaking must come; only then will my FULL GLORY be released in the earth.
Call upon me, put your trust in Me, not in man. For during this shaking, there will be casualities of war. Pray that you will be found worthy to escape the things that are soon to come to pass in the earth.
Know that I AM your hiding place; I AM your place of safety and security; I am your stability and your prosperity.
HOLD ONTO ME. The ride is getting bumpier, and will continue.
The winds of adversity are blowing, and will get stronger.
THE MOUNTAINS WILL SHAKE and tremble. The fires will continue
to burn.
VIOLENCE WILL INCREASE. Brother will turn against brother, and
KILLING will increase....but you must not hold this earthly life
as dear.
To those who put their TRUST IN ME, to those who KNOW there
is no safe place but in ME, I will continue to show my LOVE and
FAITHFULNESS, and my KEEPING POWER.
In the end, you will remain INTACT, UPRIGHT, with no smell of
smoke on your GARMENT OF PRAISE, as you go out and leap like calves
released from the stall.
FEAR NOT! In the middle of the shaking, I will arise with healing
in my wings, and I will deliver you, for you are my own, paid for
by my blood, and I will keep you as the apple of my eye."
Let Me Drink of Your Fragrance
I am pleased with your sacrifice of praise this day. I am well-pleased!
And just as one would look at a lovely rose and say, "How beautiful!"
I have looked at you and said, "How beautiful you are, my daughter; for you are learning how to come into my presence. You are learning how to worship Me."
And just as one would take that beautiful rose and cup it into their hands,
and drink in its wonderful fragrance, I am drinking in the beauty of your praise, and I say, "Oh, yes, this is good!"
Your praise has risen up to Me as a wonderful, sweet aroma. Continue to come into my presence; do not stop. How I long for your presence! Push through every road block, every obstacle that tries to hinder you.
In my presence is wisdom and life, health and healing, strength and joy.
Come and let Me drink of your fragrance, once more.
Your Father,
God

Stuck to You
Like a ray of sunshine on a dark, cloudy day, you came into my life, and I welcomed you with open arms. For my life was empty, and though I tried, I could find no reason to go on.
I was like a fragile glass broken into a million tiny pieces. I seemed beyond repair.
But in your tender mercy, You gently gathered me up, enclosed me in your arms, and gave me a reason to live.
Your love, like cement, held me together; and when it looked like I would come apart again, you wrapped me closer in your love.
Sometimes my steps were shaky, but your constant hold on my hand kept me secure. I could feel your strength being poured into my very being. You gave me confidence, and I knew I could make it.
Since that day, I've stumbled many times. I've been discouraged, but never without hope; I've been weak, but never without determination.
I know your love will sustain me, in this I am confident. I will never come unglued from your love.

Take the Plunge
I am calling you to a place you have not gone before.
Can you not hear deep calling to deep? I am calling you to the still, deep places in me, to the quiet waters of my Spirit, where you shall find rest for your soul.
In the stillness and the quietness, you shall have ears to hear what my Spirit is saying, for not a distraction, not a trickle of outside influence can be heard or felt in the deep place of my Spirit.
So come, come, do not hesitate. Do not procrastinate, for this is the day and this is the hour. This is the moment I am pouring out grace, grace and more grace to all who will hear my voice, to all who will jump into the deep places in me.
So take the plunge, and in the depths of my Spirit you shall find a new place of rest in me, and from that place of rest, you shall give nourishment to others.
It is a place of total surrender, and it is a place of joy, for in the depths of my presence is complete joy.
In the deep places you shall find total fulfillment. You have sought it in people, places and things, and yet you hunger and you thirst for more.
Have I not told you in my Word that he who drinks of the water that I give him shall never thirst?
Have I not told you that I Am the Bread that came down from heaven, and he who eats this bread shall never die? In this deep place of surrender and rest, you shall indeed live the abundant life.
So take the plunge, my child! Drink and be refreshed; eat and be satisfied; wash and be clean.
I Am calling you into the deep place in me that you might come forth a conduit of my life-force. I will pour myself in you, and then through you, and you will have the pure, unpolluted light of my life to shine into the hearts of those who sit in total darkness, and hopelessness.
Can you not hear deep calling to deep? I am inviting you, my child, to take the plunge into the depths of my Spirit, that you might helpbring life, liberty, and refreshment to others.
..."The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God." (I Cor. 2:10b NIV)
