Arise and fly upon my wings.  Be settled, I will shelter you. I will take you into my heavenly places, high above you. I will bring meat to you to chew upon and learn from me; to be absorbed in my identity. Dwell in the shadow of my presence. Rise up to who you are in me.

Don't rush: Stop striving to be where you feel I want you to be, Trust my plan and allow me to lead you. I will continue to place situations to test you; To give you opportunities to grow in my ways. As you trust me to lead you through the pathways you will find my power already at work. Don't rush, but dwell with me

Astonish yourselves and be astonished; blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with strong drink! For the Lord has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes (the prophets), and covered your heads (the seers) Isaiah 29:9-10 (ESV)

"Then you will take delight in the Almighty and look up to God. You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him. You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on the road ahead of you. If people are in trouble and you say, 'Help them,' God will save them. Even sinners will be rescued; they will be rescued because your hands are pure. Job 22:26-30 (NLT)

Bethany I saw you sitting alone, in the corner of the porch, wanting to be outside, yet wanting to hide unnoticed.  You are not alone, thinking of your past as you watch the traffic passing you by. I am calling your name. It is time for you to come out, and off the front porch of safety.  Your past or your future do not determine whom you are. It is whom I see within you now.  The richness of his ways are within you awaiting to heal others.

This word is for Gina with the bright-blonde hair. I notice you. I have seen your heart and the smile of your disposition. You do not need to try to hide yourself. You are safe. You can have freedom in me. Stand tall Virginia, I have called you by name. There is no more hiding. I heard one other single word for you - expedition. As in a journey, voyage or trip made for a specific purpose.

Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. Exodus 25:8 (AMP) I remain ever-present. My intensions for you have never wavered.  Look for me so that I may be found and show my ways. I am imparting my ways to you. In the night seasons you are being filled with me. Do not despair. Like a sponge I have squeezed you, causing you to become dry.  In preparation I have pushed out the impurities, exposing your weaknesses so you might rely upon me. You will be no more a mixture, but fresh life filled fully with my water. I will supply liberally all that you need. You will be my tabernacle, a place where I can dwell and walk among my people.

When you look for me, you will find me. When you wholeheartedly seek me, I will let you find me, declares the LORD. Jeremiah 29:13-14a (GW)

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” John 20:21 (GW)

Do not begin to suppose that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly I am saying to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, not one smallest letter nor smallest letter-marking shall pass away from the law until all comes to pass. Matthew 5:17 (from The New Testament: An Expanded Translation by Kenneth S. Wuest)

There comes a time when re-examination of what one knows and what is said.  Know that God supplies your needs: learn that balance between wanting and the supplier.

As you are aware this is a time of seasonal changes. The is true of the natural and in the spirit. Change is not always comfortable. It causes us to adapt and change to what is now before us. It allows us to know our need for God and make necessary adjustments. Yet amidst of the seeming changes, God is constant in his love for us.
