Beloved Ones, it is in Christ that you live and move and have your being (existence, essential nature, and life in the present tense). I have predetermined your appointed times and the boundaries of your life, so that you would seek Me, in the hope that you might grope for Me (clutch Me, cling to Me, and hold fast to Me) and find Me…to know Me as I AM. As you clutch with Me and shift with Me in this season, you will find new freedom to thrust yourself forward into the destiny that I have for you with new zeal and drive. You will know, by My Spirit, the liberty that you have in Christ Jesus and you will move with a freedom that comes from being shifted into the higher gear of the Kingdom.
The freedom for this forward thrust will come from the knowledge that I uphold all things by the word of My power. You are secure in Me. I AM before all things, and in Me all things consist (stand or fall together). Clutch Me, shift with Me, and freely thrust yourself forward in Me…casting off the old and driving forward with the power that comes from knowing that it is in Me that you live and move and have your being.
Acts 17:26-28; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Hebrews 1:3; Colossians 1:17

Three Phases of This Season - Part Two - "Shift'
Beloved Ones, as you cling to Me as your source of life and remember the testimony of My goodness to you, the release from the bondages of the past will be broken and you will shift into a higher Kingdom gear. You will easily pass through the hardships that have held you back and find ease in this new level of your Kingdom destiny.
This shift will be the result of the One who breaks open the way before you…I AM the Master of Breakthroughs…this is why you must clutch, cling, and hold fast to Me at your head so that you are in position to shift with Me into your breakthrough. As you shift with Me, you will pass through the enemy strongholds and leave your idols behind in the dust. They will no longer have a hold on you and you will find yourself free to move forward with a new strength. You will fear the Lord and My goodness in the days to come which will cause you to tremble at My word. You will find you are strengthened by joy and you will have a drive that will thrust you forward in My power because you know that I AM with you to cause you to pass through to victory in every circumstance.
Clutch with Me, clinging to My testimonies. Shift with Me, passing through with the Master of Breakthroughs and leaving behind the routine ruts of old patterns of idolatry. The best is yet to come!
Deuteronomy 30:20; Micah 2:13; 2 Samuel 5:20-21; Hosea 3:5; Isaiah 43:2-13

Three Phases of This Season - Part One - "Clutch"
Beloved Ones, there are three distinct phases to this present season and they must happen in the correct order…clutch, shift, and drive.
Although things may appear to be in a “neutral” gear in the natural and there doesn’t appear to be any forward motion, know that this is a necessary step in the process. This is the time to “clutch”, cling, and hold tightly to Me, your God. Set your focus to love Me, to obey My voice, and to cling to Me because I AM your life and your length of days. Do not allow your present circumstances to distract you from choosing the way of truth. Cling to My testimonies…the remembrance of what I have done in the past and know that I AM working on your behalf even in this time of apparent inactivity. This is a time when I AM putting devices into action that will enable you to be disconnected from what has become to you the custom and tradition of what lies behind so that you can be smoothly connected to what lies ahead and move forward into the next level of your destiny with power.
Clutch Me, Beloved Ones…hold tightly to Me, alone…and cling to the truths that you know. I AM enlarging your heart to take you to another level of Kingdom experience. There is life and blessing yet to come.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Psalm 119:30-32

Freedom For Righteousness
Beloved Ones, My grace is more than adequate for you to reign in life through Jesus Christ. I have given you the gift of Christ’s righteousness so that you can be filled with the fruit of it. Possess (procure, acquire, obtain, acknowledge) your own vessel in holiness and honor. Know what is yours by faith so that you may fully occupy and own all that is rightfully yours.
You have been freed from the enslavement to sin that has been customary to man. It no longer owns you. It has no rights to you or rule over you. The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made you free from the custom and constraint of sin. Be firmly steadfast in your freedom from its grip and don’t allow yourself to become twisted together with its strangling effects anymore. Stand fast in the Lord and His righteousness being filled with the fruit of it...being at liberty to reign in life through Jesus Christ over all the schemes of the enemy.
Romans 5:17, 8:2; Philippians 1:11, 4:1; 1 Thessalonians 4:4; Galatians 5:1

The Righteousness of Christ
Beloved Ones, You are not who you once were. Yet, many of you continue to think of yourselves as what you were when you were called. But God chose the foolish, weak, lowly, and despised things of the world…the things that are not…to shame the wise, strong, and proud…to nullify them, so that no one may boast. You are in Christ Jesus, who has become for you wisdom from God – your righteousness, holiness, and redemption. You, who are in Christ, are a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! God made Him who had no sin, to be sin for you, so that in Him you might become the righteousness of God. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
Through the good news of the Gospel, a righteousness from God has been revealed to you, a righteousness that comes from faith…from the first to the last. The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. Continue in the faith of the completed work of Jesus on the cross. The righteous will live by faith. Resist the temptation to shrink back into trying to establish your own righteousness, which is by the law. Be submitted to the righteousness of God. Christ in you, the hope of glory! Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes…to everyone who puts their trust in the truth of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Be filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ! Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!
1 Corinthians 1:27-31; 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21; Romans 1:17, 3:22; 10:3-4; Colossians 1:27; Philippians 1:11; Isaiah 60:1

The Liberality of Grace
Beloved Ones, these are the days of My merciful grace, My favorable presence to bring us into harmonious relationship that bears an abundance of good fruitfulness. Would you receive the abundance of this precious grace in vain? I have given this gift of grace with all liberality…it is like an open faucet…pouring out the water of life. Would you let it be wasted to just go down into the drainpipes and mingle with the waste-filled sludge of the sewer unused?
My grace is freely given for your sanctification for holiness…for your benefit and the good of My Kingdom. My grace is joyfully given for your rejoicing. My Holy Spirit yearns jealously to give more grace…a greater grace to those who will humble themselves to submit to God, resist the lures of the devil, and purify themselves from double-mindedness. Come under the faucet of My grace and drink deeply, washing yourselves of worldly ways and thinking. Be transformed, and changed dramatically…even to the point of being converted from one form of energy to another…a different energy…a heavenly minded, Kingdom energy…an energy that is given to empower you to works of grace that prove the good and acceptable and perfect will of God in these days. THIS is the joyful purpose of My merciful grace to you!
There is grace for you to know Me through the sevenfold Spirit of God…the Spirit of favor, the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of understanding, the Spirit of counsel, the Spirit of mighty power, the Spirit of knowledge, the Spirit of the fear of the Lord. These are the seven Spirits which are before the throne of the Most High God. The same, by the Holy Spirit, are available for your transformation through grace.
I AM the One who loves you and freely washed you from your sins in My own blood, and has made you to be kings and priests to God, the Father. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, who is and who was and who is to come. I AM the Almighty God. With God nothing will be impossible because of My grace!
Revelation 1:4-8; James 4:4-10; Romans 12:1-2; Isaiah 11:2; Luke 1:37

Grace For Sanctification
Beloved Ones, you were chosen by God for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth for the glory of Jesus Christ. It is My grace which equips you with power for this work of faith, your sanctification…being separated and set apart from worldly ways in obedience to My word. Do not receive the precious gift of My grace in vain. My grace is given to help you to cleanse yourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. How often do you say that you want to know the will of God in a matter? Well, your sanctification is the will of God! You are not restricted by anyone except yourself and your own selfish affections. I want each of you to know how to posses your own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust like those who do not know God.
Do you know that there is a suffering that is according to the will of God? Suffering is part of your sanctification process. Even Jesus Christ, My Son, learned obedience by the things which He suffered and having been perfected, He became the author or eternal salvation to all who OBEY Him. “Learned” means to be increased in the knowledge of the person and also to increase in applying the understanding of that knowledge so as to be joined and united with it in such a way as to walk differently. Through Jesus you have received grace for obedience to the faith. You who are the called of Jesus Christ have been given the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness because I have called you to be holy as I AM holy. He who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has given you My Holy Spirit. Therefore be even more diligent to make your call and election sure. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that I AM causing you both to will and to do for My good pleasure. There is a peril of not progressing, but I AM confident of better things concerning you, things that occur with salvation. Receive My grace for sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth of My word. Learn obedience by the things that you suffer, knowing that I have loved you and given you everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, to comfort your hearts and to strengthen, establish, and perfect you in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians 1:3-2:17; 2 Corinthians 6:1-7:1; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; 1Peter 4:16-19; Philippians 2:12; Hebrews 3:7-6:12
