My child, I have given you a treasure to pour out to my people and I have made you into a vessel of blessing. I have taken you through the preparation and I have put the seeds into the right soil that you can grow and become strong. I have prepared you to step out and be the vessel that I have called you to be. Instead of stepping out, you thought that you are not ready yet and that you need more to do anything for me. The enemy has been using this opportunity nicely to keep you where you are at, but do not stay there.
Now is the time! You are ready to step out and be what I want you to be at this time. Do not wait any longer and do not hide any longer behind the bushes but step out in weakness and pour out to my people in love. Trust me that I have given you my strength and that I will empower you again and again to do things that you did not know that you can do. As you step out and pour out to my children, I will give you more and will continuously shape you into the vessel that I need you to be for me.
It starts with you and the decision in your heart to pour out and be my vessel in my hands. Do not be afraid but let my spirit empower you to turn this world upside down and to build my kingdom. You will see that those things that have been impossible, suddenly become possible.
You are not Trash, you are a Treasure!
If you look at the work a miner looking for diamonds does, it can seem so pointless at times. They spend hours on end just digging deep. However, each of those miners has one goal in mind - finding that one diamond.
My child, I know that at times when I take you through a process of transformation, and you feel like you are being challenged from all sides, you see nothing but the shuffling and the drilling, the sweat and the tears. My child, I am here today to remind you to look at the treasure inside. I am here today to show you that I have placed a diamond in you. I am merely doing all that needs to be done to bring that diamond out, so that you would stand in my glory, says the Lord.
Look at the goal afresh and realize that every time a pressure comes upon you, you are closer to shining brightly! Realize that every time you have to go a bit deeper and sweat a bit harder, the diamond is closer!
I have called you, and I have set you apart for such a time as this, says the Lord. You mean so much to me, and all I see is the diamonds and gold inside. So, just allow me to reach in and press forward. Surrender to my hand and rejoice in each difficulty, says the Lord!
Stand in Authority
When a child comes across a bully, it is easy to back down to avoid a fight, especially when that bully has beaten them up time and time again. However, my child, that bully that keeps coming around is the enemy, and he has been defeated over 2000 years ago by the blood of my Son. Do not be afraid, and do not back down, but know the authority I have given you in Christ Jesus. Know that I have given you all authority to trample over snakes and scorpions, to overthrow and overcome every single plan of the enemy.
The enemy's only power over you is the one that you give him. So do not be afraid and stand in your authority. Do you know that all the armies of heaven are behind you when you step out to face him? Do you know that there is nothing he can do to deter you from conquering the land that he has stolen when you know who you are in Christ? So stand as the warrior and conqueror you are and storm his camp, take his land and every single promise he has stolen from you. So rejoice that the battle has already been won and stand as the victor in any circumstance you face!
God is Preparing you for Greatness
Greatness requires preparation! David went through his season of leadership training and preparation tending sheep for his father’s flocks. Moses had to look after his father-in-law’s herds at the backside of the desert. So don’t despise the season of preparation I have had you in, my child. No matter how secluded you might feel, no matter how far away from where you want to be, my hand is upon you. The pressure situations you are faced with at this time, are there to shape you and prepare you for where I am sending you when you are done here.
Embrace each lesson with an open heart, and allow me to prepare you for what lies ahead. As you allow me to teach you each lesson now, you will know what to do as you step out to lead my people. You may not understand the reason for each lesson, and at times you might even wonder what any of your circumstances have to do with leading my people. However, trust in me. Know that it was my mighty hand that arranged those circumstances and strategically placed you where you find yourself today. So, don’t think that I have forgotten about you. On the contrary, know that I have gone through a great deal of shifting and arranging to have you face the pressures and lessons that you are facing at this time. I have a bigger picture and a future season in mind. So take my hand and follow me, my child.
Embrace this season. In fact, I want you to have fun with it. When the time comes and you need to take your place in the palace to be king and to lead my people, you will have the skills, the wisdom, and the understanding you need. So embrace this time. Look to me every step of the way, for I have a treasure of knowledge waiting for you each day. Take my hand, and let me lead you through this season. Let me take you on a treasure hunt so that when the time comes for you to leave this place and move forward, you go into your new season fully equipped, says the Lord.
See Through the Eyes of God!
My child, I understand that you don't always understand why certain things happen in your life, and you are sitting there questioning why you had to face this pressure, and suffer this challenge.
My child, instead of looking at the pressure and the challenge you are facing, look into my eyes. As you look into my eyes, you will see as I see, you will understand as I do, and you will know what to do in each situation that you are going through.
So, instead of trying to figure out what is wrong and why all these things are happening, just look into my eyes, just trust in me, says the Lord.
For I am with you. I am the answer to each and everyone of your questions, I have a way out of each difficult situation and I have a solution for each problem you are faced with. All you have to do is dare to look into my eyes, and see as I see.
I love you dearly and I am here for you even now says the Lord!
