The Father's Day

Beloved Ones, this is the Father’s Day. It is My day and it is full of My glory. It is a new day and it is My gift to you. Every good and perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of Lights. This new day is a gift of My grace and is full of My grace. Because of My compassion for you and My lovingkindness towards you, there is grace enough for each new day. My tender mercies are new every morning and My goodness surely follows you all the days of your life.
I AM pouring out My grace on you to wash away the dust of the earth that gathers on you as you walk in this world. I AM pouring out My grace through you to wash away the failures and regrets of the past. Let go of regret…it is water under the bridge…it is behind you…it is gone.
This is a new day and there is much goodness still ahead for you. Receive My mercies, My grace, and My strength to walk in the newness and goodness of this new day…My gift to you.

Growing Season

Beloved Ones, You have been and still are in a “growing up season”. This growing up season requires diligence, faith, and patience in order to bear the mature fruit of My Kingdom Word that has been sown into you. You are also in a “growing out season”. This growing out season is the result of poor shortcuts that you have taken in the past. Think of a poor haircut and how it takes time to “grow out” before it can be correctly restored to its original design. Or think of how it can take time to get back on the correct course when you take a poor turn on the road when walking or driving.
YOU are changed in My sight at conversion, but walking out your divine design and bearing Kingdom fruit along the way is a process that takes time and has various seasons. This is a season of judgment in the sense of discerning the proper nurturing necessary to take you from the poor “shortcuts” of the past season that have resulted in less than desirable Kingdom fruitfulness and into the much more fruitfulness that I have for you. I AM the knowledgeable Husbandman who knows the right amount of sun, water, and nutrients for an abundant harvest of good fruit. I AM patient to do all that is necessary to bring that mature fruit to harvest in you. I will redeem all that concerns you. Trust My process by abiding in Me…dwelling in Me…going down deep in Me… and strengthening yourselves by My Word and My Spirit.
Just as the farmer must patiently wait for the precious fruit of His labor…patiently waiting through the long growing season…patiently waiting until it receives both the early and the latter rain, so too, you must establish your hearts in diligence, faith, and patience. This is My ordained process for growing a strong root within yourselves so that you do not wither away when the heat is turned up through tribulation or persecution.

Created For Liveliness

Beloved Ones, there is a longing for the “lazy days of summer”, but My longing is for the “lively days of summer”. Not the busyness that comes from the works of the flesh…of planning, of programs, of striving, of toiling…these are the works of man which are dead works. It is My desire that the works of God come forth in your midst.
I AM stirring up the Kingdom of God which is in you. I AM stirring up the Kingdom of God to “liveliness”. Do you feel it? Do you sense My stirring in the spirit? Do you sense My stirring in the earth? Do you sense My stirring in you? Rise up in your spirit man to the “liveliness” of My Kingdom. You were created to be “lively stones” in My spiritual house. I have chosen you to be My “peculiar people” who manifest My praise in the earth. You are My own possession to obtain the establishment of My Kingdom in the earth.
My Kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit…not food and drink. Stop working and worrying about the things that can’t satisfy the Kingdom longings within you and start to ACT out of My promptings to make things right, to bring My peace, and to spread My joy. These are the things that are the markings of the liveliness of My Kingdom. By My Spirit you start with these…and then…no eye has yet seen, no ear has yet heard, no mind has yet imagined the liveliness of the Kingdom that I have prepared for you who love Me! Are you ready to stir yourselves up to liveliness in the spirit and write a new chapter in My Book of Acts?
