“My heart awaits the completion of promised events in your world. Make no mistake; they are unfolding as we speak. Soon you will witness the confusion of those in My church who haven’t heeded My warnings and heard My call. They will miss so much because they have perused their own selfish motives and have not heeded the warnings I have given. Those who have not turned their lives to Jesus will need answers; but there will be none, except in Him.

"You, however - those of you who hear and respond - will not be surprised. Keep close to Me. Continue to listen carefully to My heart. Move as I tell you to move. To you I can whisper whatever is on My heart. You will hear everything I say because you practice being close to Me. You will miss nothing.”

Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV

1) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

2) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3) Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Rev. 22:17 AMP

The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty [who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported and strengthened]; and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost.”

The heart separations that are subtly happening in the ranks of those who say they are following Jesus and those who have really committed everything to His Lordship are important to notice. I am convinced that they indicate a season coming to fulfillment. Those who have learned to practice the heart of the Lord above all the din of religious activity are being defined and equipped for honest service to their only Master, Jesus Christ. A strong, vibrant, honorable bridal heart is rising from the fires of adversity and testing. She has purchased gold and proper clothing from the lap of her Father and God, and been formed to receive only what is served at the Master’s table.

Oh, God! Let me hear and obey,
