It is time to awaken what I have placed within you.
Open your eyes to what is possible through me.
Wash the windows; Clean away the grime of the past.
Allow me to awaken you and guide you. I am here with you.
Fear not, but rely upon me. Learn the strength of being in me.
I AM the creative light and you are mine. You are light which the
world needs. Fear not what is coming, but see me.
Awaken to my ways for I am opening more to those who seek me.
I am communicating my love and direction; seek me.
Wash yourself in my Word; feed yourself the Word.
It is a new season. Look beyond what you sense is possible;
I am already there and waiting for you.
Learn a new reliance upon me. I am already there for you.
I will give you the words to speak and a new heart.
There re new things bubbling up from within you. My Spirit
is within you, shaping and directing you. I have been
molding you before you even knew me.
Fear Not: In this coming season I have things which you can do
only through my grace and authority. I have an overwhelming favor
within you, bubbling up.

CALL TO DRAW NEAR
Shared by Yolanda Ballard
Be still and know I am your God. If you listen, you can hear Me calling your name in the still of the night. While you are dreaming of other things, I am waiting upon you to call out to Me, to call My name. Yes, I want to commune with you.
It is so important to know Me, not to just know about Me but to commune with Me. I am the way, the truth, and the life but you must take Me by the hand so I can lead you through the Promised Land that is full of milk and honey but it also has giants in the land lurking ready to take you out.
You must walk with Me and talk with Me as a way of life.   You must know My voice to be safe for I will show you the way around the snares the enemy sets up for they are subtle and appear to be My ways but they are strategies of the enemy to trip you up.
Watch for the little foxes that spoil the vine, those little things of the flesh that appear to be good but they are false like false burdens and responsibilities, they only rob you of your time and distract you.
Yes, this is the day that I am fine-tuning for you in all areas so you will line up with My will. You will know the true from the counterfeit, the wheat from the tare. Even in your thoughts you must learn to cast down vain imaginations anything that lifts itself up against the knowledge of who I am and what I would have you to do.
You must walk in My truth, light and grace at all times. If you obey My will, you will walk with plenty and have good health. You will have soundness of mind and perfect peace if you keep your mind on Me. Yes, I love you, My child, but you must draw near and know Me says your God.
God is calling us to have deep communion with Him as a way of life. Father, I pray that You will take away anything that is in our heart that distracts us from having your presence in Jesus name.

“Be Completely Satisfied! God Knows What You Want, Why You Want It and He Wants to Give it to You!”
Edie Bayer, Houston, TX

I watched a movie last night where hands were laid on the sick and they were healed. Limbs grew out where there were none before, and leprosy was cured—right in front of the watching crowd! The apostles raised people from the dead in this movie, and by the time it was over (after midnight) I was PUMPED-UP for the Kingdom! I said to God, “Lord! I want that! I want to heal the sick and raise the dead for the Kingdom! How do I do that? What do I do?”
I Want to Do That!
There is a tremendous cry rising up from His Body for the same around the globe. There are some who are now crying out, and some who have been for years: “God, I WANT that for the Kingdom! I WANT to heal the sick! I WANT to raise the dead! I WANT this for the Kingdom! I WANT to be used as part of the end-time harvest!”
As I contemplated this, the Lord dropped a Scripture on me: Matthew 5:6. I love the way the Amplified Classic says it: “Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied!”
You Will Be Completely Satisfied
Hang in there! Hold on just a little longer, and you too will be “completely satisfied”! He is working to accomplish that very thing for you—to be used in the end-time harvest! He is working for your good on your behalf (see Romans 8:28). He knows what you want, why you want it, and He wants to give it to you! Why? Because He is the one who has put the desire into your heart in the first place! “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart,” (Psalm 37:4 AMPC).
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” (Psalm 91:14-15 AMPC)
Longing to Fulfill the Purposes of God
I love to ask people, “When you were living in the world did you long to fulfill the purposes of God?” Their answer is always the same: “No, not at all!” That is because the dreams and desires you now have are HIS desires and HIS purposes that He has placed inside of you, by His own Holy Spirit! Of course He will fill them!
“We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose,” (Romans 8:28 AMPC). Do you see that? ACCORDING TO HIS DESIGN AND PURPOSE! He is going to give you what you want – it’s by design!
It’s Your Father’s Good Pleasure to Give You the Kingdom
Jesus says in Luke 12:32, “Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom!”
Other than praying for salvation, what better prayer for Him to want to answer than asking for the Kingdom to come with healing the sick, raising the dead, restoring blind eyes and deaf ears—with other miraculous signs following? That is what He wants, because it is His will. When you pray according to God’s own will, then His will is done!
Look, family! He has asked for us to pray for the harvesters, the laborers: “And He said to them, The harvest indeed is abundant [there is much ripe grain], but the farmhands are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest,” (Luke 10:2 AMPC).
Jesus instructed us to pray for the laborers. I always thought I was supposed to pray for OTHERS to be sent into the fields! In actuality, the laborers are YOU – ME – US – all of us asking to be used of Him in the third, great and final awakening! You have prayed this prayer by divine inspiration asking to be a laborer, and He will gladly answer that prayer! He told us to do it, and He will answer that prayer according to His will!
“Just Follow Me”
After the movie, when I was all excited about being used to see greater works for the Kingdom, I asked the Lord how to be used by Him. He immediately answered me. His response was simple and unsurprising. In fact, it was something I already knew. He whispered, “Just Follow Me.”
He is leading us and guiding us into all truth by the power of His Holy Spirit (see John 16:13). When we follow Him, He will lead us down paths of righteousness for His name’s sake (see Psalm 23:3). In fact, according to Ephesians 2:10, we walk in paths He already prepared ahead of time!
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”
This good life includes walking in miracles. It includes walking in Kingdom power and authority. It includes being used of the Lord, not just in the end-time harvest, but at all times, in every situation, with everyone you meet.
God’s timing is perfect. He will use you at just the right moment, with just the right set of circumstances, with just the right people. Just follow Him. Be blessed on your path!
