Jesus Fills the Void
The Lord says,
I’m thinking of the children, the people who are on their own, who feel abandoned and all alone – with fragile hearts and so much love to give. These are the ones on My heart this morning. My heart hurts and yearns for them, even as theirs long to be connected and filled with Me. Though they may not know or recognize that I Am the piece that is missing, I Am the void in their life, their heart – I Am indeed the One, the very One they are searching for. No work, no amount of trying, giving, serving, and doing it on their own can get them there. None of that can accomplish the change and fill the void that they are seeking to fill. Only Jesus can fill this void. Only He can restore wholeness, bring fulfillment, new life and purpose to their hearts and their lives. He can restore the spark, the joy, the curiosity, the vibrancy of life that has faded away because of hurts and mistakes and sin, loneliness and fear.
I am calling these ones to Me even today. I Am drawing them to Myself. I Am singing and hovering over them. I Am making Myself more apparent and a more obvious answer. Come alongside these little ones, these broken ones, these lonely ones as they cross your path. They need to be taken by the hand and introduced to Jesus. They need new life breathed into their nostrils and their hearts – as only He can do. He is here and available. He is ready to to dispel fear, and breathe in a fresh wind of grace, of love, of holy confidence, of trust, of faith, and of a new day.
Jesus is the answer to every question in your heart, to every faltering moment, to every fear. He is the one that calms the storm in you. He’s the lifter of your head, and the giver of salvation. He changes everything. He makes all things new, and He makes all things work together for those who love him and are called according to His purposes. For your questions, for their questions – Jesus is the answer.
Fresh Strength
The Lord says,
I Am strengthening tender and fragile hearts, with new joy today, with fresh hope, with the light of truth and the reality of My Presence. Join hands believers. Strengthen yourselves and strengthen one another in Me. Change is coming. Transformation is coming. Hold on. Stay in a position of faith. Move together and move with Me in unity. You may not see it, but we are advancing against the forces of darkness. And they will not only not prevail, but they will be dismantled in this place. They will fail. They will literally fall to pieces. And it will be a glorious day, and you will see and experience a glorious victory – beyond your wildest expectations for good. That’s what I Am – I Am better – far exceeding your wildest expectations for good, for victory, for truth, for triumph.
Fresh Joy
The Lord says,
I Am causing My people to skip like young calves. They who have their eyes focused on Me, they who have chosen beautiful boundaries of purity and who stay focused on Me, are not burdened or weighed down by the cares of this world. They see them, yes. They acknowledge them, yes. They hate the evil things, yes. But they know that I Am on My throne. And I Am working and moving, and doing what I said I would do – that I Am making a river in the desert. I Am building a highway in the wilderness. And they can live lighthearted, in joy and expectation of the good and the transformation and the victory I Am bringing.
Hidden Treasures
The Lord says,
This is a time where many will find great hidden treasures in Me. Many will discover new depths of understanding of My goodness, My faithfulness, My trustworthiness, My forgiveness, My unfailing love, My provision, My protection, My great desires for your prosperity in life – in all things. Many will discover the intricacy of My plan to get us to this point. Many will discover that you were woven into My design from the beginning of time. Many will discover your own significance in Me. Many will discover your roles as sons and daughters; many will learn intimacy; many will learn how to reign and how to live a victorious life. Many will learn how to take ground, how to operate in power and authority, and how to occupy territory that was once held by the enemy. Many will learn how to be fierce warriors. All of these things and more you will discover in Me, in the deep wells of Me, and many will recognize and acknowledge them as a great, unmatchable treasures that can be found nowhere else in the world.
How to Respond
- Join the ones who are skipping like young calves. If you are not among these lighthearted, carefree ones whose eyes are fixed on the Lord, ask Him what you can do to become one. Join them.
- Declare the day of salvation and the beginning of discipleship for many who are in need of Jesus.
- Pray for the Harvesters, that they would be willing, they would be available and they would be prepared to bring many to Jesus and to teach these new believers His ways.
- Sing an old song – one that brings you back to a place and time that was lighter, where you had great joy.
