I have not spoken to anyone personally about what I am about to share. I have been sensing this from my times with the Lord over the last few days. Although we live in a specific geographic area (& I claim no global sphere of authority), I also know that the Church is being prepared in ways that go beyond the past, and many have no frame of reference for what God is doing.

I want to encourage those of you who really believe God has made you some "big" promises, but they have yet to emerge. In fact, it seems you are farther away from them than when you first received along these lines. Be encouraged - it doesn't matter how old you are, what seemingly irreversible mistake you may have made, what has been done to you, or how you feel there is nothing to embrace any longer on these matters. God is who He says He is & knew about this day - "today" - when all was first released to you.
-
Moreover- some of you are thinking and feeling (even dwelling on the sense) that absolutely everything you've ever believed, long convinced of, known to be true, and been able to rely on, is being severely challenged beyond any test you have experienced in the past. In fact, in the natural all you have been pursuing is failing right before your eyes and you have nothing in your past & present spiritual repertoire to fall back on to regain any sense of confident expectancy.
-
Also, there is the increasing sense in some that you cannot talk with anyone about what you are going through. In these instances, it is so difficult to comprehend, and so complicated to explain, there is a fear that if you began to speak about it you would not be able to stop. There seems to be no end to it and no actual getting to the bottom of it. It is seemingly endless.
-
This I can say from personal experience as well as from the Spirit of the Lord - in whatever way you can relate to what I have described you very well may be 'at the front of the line' for what God is preparing His people for in this upcoming new season. He will be unveiling it to those who will allow themselves to be fully engaged by Him in the Spirit. But it will not come to those who wait until 'something is happening,' or hang on until 'when things change.' It will take place in, for and even through those who ready themselves by getting their relational and spiritual 'to-do' accounts settled with God. That is how you will become solvent in the ways which amass the riches Christ has in His Glory for His people.
Be one of those!

Part 1 emphasized that we must not let go of this absolute reality: there is a quietness in God that He designed and desires for each of us. And just as importantly, that promise, and grace is also granted and to be seized for our surroundings. But since the prevailing winds of lifestyle in our world today are not conducive to this, many regard God's promise either skeptically, as laughable, or virtually impossible. But again, the absolute reality is there is a quietness in God that He has designed and desires for each of us - one that not only quiets the spirit but restores the soul and will even bring wholeness to the body. Believing that revelation of the Lord, the question most often becomes 'how do I get there from here?'

Everything in our society today reminds me of my 7th and 8th grade Middle School orchestra room. Just before attempting to quiet the various instruments - all of them blasting, clanging, strumming, or banging their noises as loud and long as possible- the director would then make several attempts by raising his voice. That said, today we must not let go of the absolute reality that there is a quietness in God that He designed and desires for each of us and - believe it or not - for our surroundings. Since the latter may seem not only unlikely but virtually impossible, it often causes the former - a personal quietness in God - to either be skeptically regarded or surrendered outright.

We've heard it said so many times that we immediately make an automatic reply. We say, 'all the time' whenever we hear 'God is good.' So, let's don't differentiate: the God who is good does good work. He is attributed with "every good gift and every perfect gift" (Ja.1:17). There is nothing like a fresh communiqué from God. Call it what you will: He has many ways to release Himself to you. A revelation of the Word (or a rhema). A prophetic word that gets inside of you that neither dissipates nor allows you to hold to previous perspectives.
