Faith & Trust Keep trusting! Keep relying on Me, and this will help you to give Me all the glory, as you will see so clearly how I have done it for you. My new & everlasting System of true values. Prepare for it and adapt to it, learning to apply the true values of faith and unselfish love right now, and you will be rich. Build lasting works onto the true foundation of faith in Me. Build, in faithful labors of love, an everlasting house of souls unto Me, reap a harvest of gold, pure & everlasting. It requires faith to set your affections on things above. Faith which is acquired by faithful intake of My Word. If you don’t expect miracles, how do you think they’re ever going to happen? It’s your expectancy, your faith, your counting on Me doing it, that makes it happen. Just like you’re pulling down this prophecy right now, just like you know I will talk to you if you expect Me to, likewise I’m ready & willing to do anything else for you, if you just believe it. Look not at the waves, nor at the wind, at the state of the world, much less listen to their doubtful opinions, but stay close to Me and stand up for Me. That little spark & ember of faith, unseeming in its appearance, hardly there, hardly noticeable, is the one big difference between you & the rest of them around you, for with that little switch of faith you can turn on My power. Turn it on! Make it happen! Let it shine! ‘Rational’ thinking won’t help you survive in the days to come, only crazy faith in Me & following My leads, which means obedience. You need faith which can see beyond that which meets the eye. Faith which sees My creation, the potential a person has to become something greater. Look not at that which you see with your eyes. See the possibilities! See My hand working in their lives! Look at Me! Don’t look at the flesh! Waver no more. A lot depends on YOU. You must take the initiative! If you had perfect faith, nothing wavering, I wouldn’t have to test your faith anymore. Trust in Me, the Leader & Captain of your team, and you’ll play safe. You, My children of David, are more blessed than any other group of people alive on Earth, because you have been given the awareness of your greater, heavenly Family around you. ‘The Family’ is not only that relatively small Earthly group of believers, but a much larger entity, a body consisting of countless members behind the curtain which separates your realm & ours. You are just the tip of the iceberg. The secret, hidden real force of this army lies beneath the surface, or rather, above the wavelength of that which is perceivable to mortals. Let this boost your confidence a little bit, next time you feel prone to feel inferior. You, yes, tiny little you, are part of the most powerful gang in the universe, the one who’s getting ready to rule & run the joint for good, & you’re in touch with the ‘Boss’, the Man on the top! Worry not about your situation. It couldn’t possibly be as ‘impossible’ as the odds for this universe to function by itself. And if I and the Father take care of the endless empty spaces out there; don’t worry, we’re also going to take care of you. ‘The strongest arms in the universe have promised you their care!’ Let Me carry you above all the waves the storms are whipping up. The sea beneath you is seething & foaming, a black, menacing brew. But you are safe in the palm of My hand, little bird! And you sing on, in spite of the storm. You’ll experience first hand My peace in the center & the eye of the storm. As those on your left & on your right are falling prey to confusion, you, unafraid, as one who has got nothing to lose, can rest tranquilly & peacefully in My palm. It’s expedient for you to operate fully by faith. It’s the only way you’re going to survive. Let faith in Me & My Words be your currency. And prove Me now herewith if I will not open unto you the windows of heaven & pour forth such a blessing that there shall not be room enough to hold it. Only few have the faith ascribed to Job, who can say, ‘Even if it looks as if God is breaking His Word & breaking His promise to Me, I will still trust Him!’ Now is the time of faith, to take things by faith, even though you don’t see or understand every aspect of everything involved. Blessed are they who, not seeing, yet believe. So, take My blessing by faith. Know that it is there, even if you don’t see it or feel it, just take My Word for it. Don’t just accept facts with your brain, but come to know with the tacit knowing of faith, so you learn to apply the information adequately, and the right bits at the right time. That’s when believing becomes seeing and faith becomes knowing. I’m there all the time. If you only had a notion of how present I am. How real. Become Christ-conscious! Become more conscious of Me! Focus not on the things at hand, focus on Me, & the things at hand will take on a whole new meaning & they will come & go with such greater ease. I want you to know beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I’m always right here with you! There’s always more of Me & what I give is only limited by what you can handle. Trust Me that you are just what & who & where you were meant to be. The currency of true faith will buy you what you need when paper money will be nothing but sad history. Be not afraid of the fire, but delight in it, as it serves no other purpose than your purification. It won’t burn or hurt you.
Faith is the solid foundation I want you to build for your spiritual Home. Make yourselves cozy in the secret place of the Most High! I’ll be better to you than a known path or anything else you’ve ever known before! Just trust Me, inhabit Me & let Me inhabit you! I long to be & live & dwell & move in you, and I long for you to dwell in Me! Look & see with the eyes of My Spirit! Look not at the waves & the wind! Look at Me! I’ll be your ship, your vessel, & I’ll carry you safely Home! Look not at the waves & the wind & the gray abyss beneath your feet, but look up to Me! My hand is always right there. I have never & will never let you fall! Don’t live by fear, doubt, worry & anxiety, but by faith, hope & love! Toss all your worries & excess weight over board! I want to give you the ability to find peace in the midst of the storm. I will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies & you will lay down in peace, the troubles will not come nigh you. My participation in your life has been greater than you previously thought, even during times you felt distant from Me. I want you to be that bird singing his songs on the overhanging branch above the raging cataract, the symbol of peace in the midst of the storm. The little bird doesn’t see what’s going to happen tomorrow, he just keeps singing anyway, trusting that I’ve got it all under control, that everything’s in My hands. My kindness toward you shall not depart from you even when the mountains shall depart & the hills be removed. Faith acts content in the face of adversity because it knows it already has & owns the fulfillment of the promise right now. You hold the title deed in your hands. You may still look like a pauper, but you’re on your way to the bank with the title deed, and when you get there, you’ll be a rich man. Trust Me, that I’ve blessed you with riches, even when you can’t see them. Take My Word for it. Trust in My Words even when you don’t feel like it. Aah, that’s when I like those tests the best, during those times when you don’t feel like it, because it shows Me you’re willing to defy natural circumstances; to be cheerful in spite of the way you feel. Act by faith, knowing that I can & will do it! Act as if it’s gonna happen and it’s gonna happen! Don’t forget your umbrella when you ask Me for rain! I’m tossing you into the water & you’ll only be able to breathe by My miracle-working power. Throw yourself completely on Me! I will carry you! I’ve been around all those years, you just haven’t been able to see Me this clearly, but the more you open your eyes, look to Me & spend time with Me - the more you’ll seek Me, the more you’ll find & see! Soon, you’re going to see Me everywhere & in everything, for that’s where I am, literally! Sometimes you’ve just been seeing the Devil too much in everything & you figured, ‘No, the Lord couldn’t possibly be in that place, it’s already occupied by the Devil...’ Well, look beyond, & you’ll see that whatever place the Devil may temporarily be usurping, he’s only waiting to get his butt kicked out of there. I’m putting on My boots, & you’ll be watching him run in no time. So, look again! You may not have seen Me there before, but look again! I am the deeper layer, the true foundation, that which the Enemy has only been trying to cover up & hide with his fake false front & illusion! Many people believe in it, but you just poke your finger in it & show it’s just a fake – a slimy film & layer that’s been placed over the real truth, and you can just rip it off & wipe it away with one wave of your hand & the magic wand I’ve given you – the Word & the power of the keys! Let them see what you see. Pray, like Elisha prayed for Me to open his servant’s eyes, so pray for them, that they may also see. But in order to make others see, you’ve got to also make sure you stay permanently focused on Me & don’t let anything divert or distract you! Keep your eyes on Me, the author & finisher of your faith, & keep tuned right in on Me! (Gem, a Spirit Helper:) Trust completely in Him regarding all your affairs. Commit them to the Lord in prayer & trust Him wholly for each of them. The desired results of all I’m doing in your lives is each of you becoming that person I want you to be: a person that is close to Me, that trusts Me, that relies on nothing but Me and that won’t be shaken because you stand on Me, the firm foundation, clings to Me, the Author & finisher, and is satisfied by Me, the great Filler of all things. The instability of your situation is engineered by My hand in order for you to make Me the Stabilizer of your lives, the only factor that always remains & around which everything revolves. You’re standing right in front of this mountain wondering how you’re going to make it. Well, you’ll make it the same way you made it this far: by trusting in Me, not yourself, relying on Me as your Guide, holding My hand & heeding My voice & obeying My instructions. If there was no hope for you to ever make it, I wouldn’t present you with this challenge! Ask of Me and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance. You can already assume that authority in the spirit. You definitely don’t have to be afraid of them. Remember that I am much greater than he that runs the world. And you’re more than conquerors by being willing to appear like the losers. ‘Walk by faith, not by sight.’ Faith is more important than knowledge. Faith is the driving power that compels you to do something for Me, whereas knowledge can sometimes leave you cold, a passive observer of what’s happening.
Just take whatever comes your way, trusting in it from the Romans 8:28 angle, giving Me thanks in all things, even IF the Devil did bring it! Sometimes you’ve gotta have some guts to grab the spoils of Egypt. If you’re too scared about whether it’s really politically correct to do this or accept that, there goes another lost opportunity. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are the humble, the thankful, those who grab it by faith & thank Me for it, no matter where it came from. It’s only pride that makes things complicated. Do you trust Me? I know you still have some doubts & fears & worries. I’m not expecting perfect trust for starters, but we need to get there & make progress in eliminating your doubts & fears & replace them with more & more faith & trust. (Dad.:) ”You don’t always have to know where you’re going... Sometimes the Lord just wants you to trust even though you can’t see where you’re going. ‘We walk by faith & not by sight’, remember? Just put your hand in His, He’ll be better to you than a light or a known path. As long as you keep going in the right direction, everything’s going to be alright. Let nothing worry you! ‘When you’re trusting you’re not heard to fret, & when you’re fretting, you’re not trusting yet. So, let go, my friend, & let God have His wonderful way!’ Do you trust Me fully, that I’ve got your life in My hands? I want you to become a sample of utter trust first of all, before you go out & preach something you can’t even really practice yourself yet. I’m establishing a ”trusting in the Lord completely” mode in you. You’ve just got to learn to trust Me! You’ve got to trust Me blindly, even if it looks like it’s a dead end street I’m leading you into. Trust that I will make a way where there is no way! If you’re going to trust Me for the situation I put you in, then trust Me fully & in every aspect, that I know what I’m doing. Trust Me, the great Head Doctor, that My diagnose is correct & My prescription to attack the problem is the right one. Things might get worse temporarily, but trust Me; that’s the only way they’re ever going to get better. I’m teaching you to trust Me more & less in the arm of the flesh, and the Devil is going to test you along those lines: ”Are you sure you’re still going to trust Him? Looks like He’s leaving you hanging in the air...” I’m not incapable of caring for you, just because the Devil is tempting you a little & the System is turning the heat on. Just remember Who’s in charge & relax. What you will need most of all is faith to protect you from fear & despair! Faith for miracles to help you rise above the most atrocious & miserable circumstances of all times! Show them that your greatest strength is in your faith in Me! That is the true gold, that I would counsel every man to buy: the gold of faith! Every trial will only be another precious lesson learned, yet increasing your value. ”When He has tried me I shall come forth as gold.” (S.H.:) That’s faith & trust, where even if you don’t fully understand something, you still trust Him to know best. Faith is a drawing power, a vacuum, & when that vacuum has been replaced by a fullness of other things than My Word, My Spirit & My input, then the Word & My Spirit & input have simply been crowded out of their lives. How do you lose the faith? By neglecting the Word. It all boils down to the Word, or a lack of intake of the same. Without faith it is impossible to please Me... You’re either the servant of faith or the servant of fear. Life can be so beautiful if you see with the eyes of faith. Nervousness comes from relying on the flesh... Trust & confidence come from relying on Me. You don’t have to do it, all you have to do is trust Me. You don’t have to worry, or bear the burden... just trust Me! Commit it into My care! ”Command ye Me!” (Is.45:11) I’m going to take care of it all as long as you continue leaning on My everlasting arms. I want you to fully experience My greatness; I want your faith to grow. I want you to stand back in awe at the wonders you’re yet to behold from My hand. I want you to revel in My love for you! I want you to never doubt My love for you again! Please, don’t, for it pains Me! No matter what it is that worries you... whether it be the past, the present or the future... just let My love soak it all up & absorb every worry. Be thankful for your individual situation, trusting Me that I knew best what kind of a situation to give you. Likewise you’re going to have to trust Me that I will give you the most perfect, personally designed situation & role to fulfill in the future. It all amounts to the old issue whom you’re going to believe, in whom you’re going to put your faith, trust & confidence: in yourself & your really limited amount of knowledge of yourself & all things, or in Me... As soon as you cast the burden on Me, it will leave your tiny shoulders & it will be on Mine, which are quite a lot more capable, and the matter is resolved; I don’t want you to worry about it anymore. I want you to instantly convert every worry into a prayer. Your initial ideal reaction to every problem you encounter in life should be to give it to Me & trust!
