MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS
May 15, 2009

My daughter, arise and sing says the Lord for many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord knows how to deliver them out of them all.  Many have been the troubles in your life says the Lord and you say why, it gets harder the longer I live the older I get, but the Lord says there is no age with Me, as you were when you were 20 you are now say the Lord, time has passed, a short time according to the timing of eternity.

Yes, many have been your afflictions and I have set up timings and barriers says the Lord, for the plans that you have, are not My plans, so as timing is changed and things have seemed to go all awry says the Lord, know that I the Lord have been in control at all times, you live because I let you live, you go when I say go and you don’t go when I say wait.  You gave me charge of your life and through that life you have given me says the Lord I am protecting and perfecting it in Me says the Lord, for it is almost breakthrough time says the Lord.

You say what have I accomplished, I cannot seem to get going on anything before something else is happening, but I say, you do not know my ways and you do not yet recognize My hand says the Lord, but you are learning to listen, and you are learning to trust me more than in days gone by.

I am bringing you forth as pure gold, for every trial I have taken from  you and added to you, I have placed fruit, good fruit,  where there was no fruit says the Lord, have you seen all of this happening, no you have not, for I am a God who cleanses, and perfects from the inside out and I change lives through every trial, through every bump in the road, through every road block the enemy tried to place in front of you, I moved it and made a way for you to pass by.

This is your year says the Lord, I am calling you to come forward, this is the year you will hear My voice clearer and you will not question it says the Lord, for there is yet much I have for you to do says the Lord, you have an agenda and I have an agenda says the Lord, which will you follow, you said you would follow Me say the Lord, you gave Me your life says the Lord, did you mean it, are you willing to help My people, for I will bring many your way if you say, yes Lord.  Now is the time says the Lord to replenish yourself in Me, take time to refresh your early memories of Me says the Lord and of My word, for My word is life to those who believe and those who believe will live by My word, they will speak My word as I give them the utterance to do so, they will take time to talk with me and allow Me to talk to them says the Lord.

Now is the year I have chosen to take you to the next level of understanding Me says the Lord, to understanding My ways says the Lord, every word I speak to you is inspiration as to what you are capable of in Me says the Lord, but the decision is always yours.  Every bit of agony, every bit of stress and upset has come to hold you back, as the children of Israel were held back because of their complaining, it caused their trip around Mt Sinai to be 40 years rather than 10 days.

My children complain and yet even in their trials and troubles they are being blessed, but because  it has not felt like a blessing and it has not looked like a blessing, sometimes they have missed the very blessing intended for them, for in every situation you find yourself I have good things to impart in to your life to bless your life abundantly.  Look for the blessings, look for what is to be imparted in each situation in your life for there is much I have for you.  This is the year I will reveal a depth of Myself you have not seen, you have not known says the Lord, for now is a time of transition and impartation of the deeper things, many that you have to this point not understood.  I impart strength to you even today to live and breathe, give your thoughts to me today and allow me to speak into your innermost being what great things I have in store for you.  You say I am old God, I say so was Sarah, but she was blessed with a nation.  You have no idea within yourself what I can do with what little My children offer up to me of themselves.

You are my daughter and you are My friend, your hands touch my creatures like only My hands can, with softness, gentleness and tenderness: now I want you to reach out and touch my people like only My hands can says the Lord, for I have put healing in your hands, I have given you compassion and mercy to impart to others, the gift of hope to impart to others says the Lord.  Look for a new season, as I begin to make changes and to fill you with joy unspeakable, it has been a long time says the Lord, the desert place is a weary long and dry season but now that season is about to change.  Are you ready?  Are you willing?  Thus says the Lord arise and begin to sing praise for the heavens declare truth.  Amen and Amen!
