Who Follow A Good Shepherd

May this new day come as refreshing ointment for tired flesh, giving you reason for hope in what is yet to come. You have had disappointments brought upon you by wolves who were sent by the Evil One to scatter my flock, separating you from comfort and security found only under my watchful eye. Now I am reaching down to pluck you out of harms way, bringing you back into the fold, and chasing away tormentors
who have caused you grief.

In my love for you, my children, those who have been persecuted for my sake, there will be time given when lives will no longer be filled with barking dogs or mocking parrots. The darkness that clouded your light will dissipate; the filth that polluted your waters will vanish; and the weeds that cluttered your gardens will wither and die. Let this promise fill your hearts with joy.

In days past, it was you who drew closer to me, and further away from the evil of the world. You chose to leave behind those temporal things
in your desire to experience the sweet goodness found only in the purity of my Spirit. How you were made to suffer for your worship and praise
for me, others could not see or believe, and yet you turned away from temptation rather than compromise with sinners. By faith you entered into my domain, even when doubters were hating you even more. For this perseverance and dedication to my commandments, rewards for loyal souls will bring contentment for all eternity.

The world where goats dwell is overflowing with hate for those who walk in the Spirit. There is only contempt for the righteous coming out of wicked hearts. Just as they stripped me of dignity, defamed my name, cut my flesh, nailed me to a tree, spit on my face, and pierced my body with a sword, it is their desire to do to all who worship the Father in like manner. There is nothing good to be found where Satan goes forth as a roaring lion, searching for innocent sheep to devour. Remember no more what was left behind as you climb the hill on your way to my high place. Angels are waiting there to protect and guide each one who travels the narrow path leading into my Kingdom.

When you see rebellious souls making a mockery of my tabernacle in Jerusalem, you will know the Golden Ark is standing ready for entry.
It will be a time for rejoicing, not sorrow; a time for worship, not remembrance; a time for healing, not condemnation.

What is being done in the Spirit will be manifested in time, space, and matter when transformation of all things begins. You will hear greater words spoken, and see greater visions of the future beyond surrounding barriers as you come closer to the Master you serve. Let serenity flood your emotions even when water floods cities, even when wind tares down homes, even when fires burn civilizations. Storms will never destroy what God has created to last for ever.

Many there will be who will choose to remain behind when you flee
into refuges where I will welcome my children. They have scoffed
at my warnings, and have rejected promises that have been sent to announce the coming of a new day. Is it any wonder, then, that Satan must be pleased in this hour when so many are victims of destruction? No matter what I willingly endured to redeem the lost who remain without repentance among you, the promise of their fate has been written, and will come to fruition in this final generation.

Just as rain falls from the sky, just as lightning strikes the ground, and just as bright mornings follow dark nights, you will see your Savior coming to bring a sudden end to the old. There will be new beginnings when my foot touches the Mount of Olives. This coming moment in time will bring an end to conflict, and will bring a cleansing to make all things renewed.

Let this promise for my children be your daily prayer until Holy Words
from ages past have been revealed as written.
