SCRIPTURE / PROPHECY

Isaiah 43: 1 – 7: By pouring forth Your love, we come close, O Jesus! “I have called you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burned; the hard trials that come will not hurt you. For I am the Lord your God, the holy God of Israel, Who saves you. I will give up Egypt to set you free; I will give up Ethiopia and Seba. I will give up whole nations to save your life, because you are precious to Me and because I love you and give you honor. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. From the distant east and the farthest west

I will bring your people home. I will tell the north to let them go and the south not to hold them back. Let My people return from distant lands, from every part of the world. They are My own people, and I created them to bring Me glory.” The Lord says, “Do not be afraid! I am with you – do not be afraid! Do not let your troubles overwhelm you, I hold you in the palm of My hand . I love you! I sustain you; I give you strength; I lead and guide you. Trust in Me! Trust in Me!!

PROPHECY

Never doubt that I hear you. If it seems that I don't answer, trust Me! There is a perfect time, a perfect place and a perfect way for all prayers to be answered. Some times perseverance and prayer gives you a strength that you didn't know you had. It deepens your trust in ways you never dreamed or imagined it could happen. Sometimes perseverance and prayer make so much sweeter the reward. Do not lose hope and do not grieve for prayers unanswered because I am with you in the journey of prayer. I walk beside you when you are on your knees, clinging to Me and crying out for help, crying out for your loved ones; I am there, I am with you. Allow Me to hold you, experience My love in the depths of those places where it seems that I am the farthest away. “I am for you,” says the Lord.

IMAGE / PROPHECY

All evening long, this image of our universe, this creation of our Lord, has been in my mind. A universe, a creation that is so big that we don't talk about it in feet or miles; we talk about it in light years - the distance that light will travel in a year. In this creation that is so immense, this God Who is the Creator has come to us right here in this place and has spoken to us and said, “I hear you. I hear your prayers.” In this universe that is so immense, He has not forgotten us as individuals and He says to us, “Do not be afraid, I will be with you; no matter what you walk through, I will be with you.” I just sense, even now, that tremendous call to us to draw close to Him, to yield to Him, to not be afraid because out of the tremendous size of this universe, He comes to us individually and He says, “I desire you! I desire YOU ! Reach out to Me, come to Me, yield to Me! Do not be afraid! I am always with you!”
