When I give you the times to rest, it is for a purpose. It is to empower you, to refresh you, to speak wisdom deep into you that you may not even get in your thinking mind yet.

You use the phrase, 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' Well, I say to you, do judge One book by it's cover, and that is the cover that says The Bible, the Word of God, My Truth!

Prosperity is not something I want you seeking after. I have said in My Word you are to seek after the Kingdom of God. Everything that is about My Kingdom, seek after that.

You know, you can be superglued to Me. My Word that says, be equally yoked with Jesus…as you grow in your understanding of how much you can trust Me, how much I Am there for you, how much you can surrender to My leading, every time you do that, it's like taking glue and gluing yourself to Me.

You know very well when the shocks on your vehicle need to be replaced. You know that because you hit yet another pothole and instead of just bouncing a little and coming back up, there is a 'kathunk' and you really feel it.

A ferris wheel goes round and round and round and round. It can give you an impression that you're actually going someplace, but of course you know that you're not.

Wait! Listen! To wait, to listen, you must humble yourself. You must quieten your mind. You must believe that I have something to say worth hearing to wait and listen, to come into My Presence, to be aware of My Presence, to enter into the fullness of Who I Am.

I know your heart. I know you intimately. I know all. I know the desires of your heart. I know the areas that are still hardened; that as you come to Me, I heal. I know. You have a hard time understanding that.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, I have said, I am saying now, I will always say certainties, truths to you.

I give you wisdom when you ask, and then when you position yourself to receive the wisdom that you've asked for, I will always give you wisdom. I want you to be as wise as serpents and gentle as a lamb.

Pay attention to My Word. Take My Word to heart. I hear you say to each other things like, "Oh, don't take it personally." Well, I want you taking My Word personally because it is meant and was meant and will always be meant for you.

Listen, hear, receive, for I Am speaking to you. I Am speaking to you, My Child. I have something wonderful to share with you, My Child. So listen, hear, receive!

My desire is that you Know Me, not that you just know about Me, which sets Me apart. I want you to know Me. That is a matter of the heart, to know Me. It is also My Son's desire.

Resting is an action, for you have to choose to rest...resting in Me. There are many times you are caught in the doing, even the doing of things you are believing are Holy and you miss hearing Me call you to rest.

Come into My Rest, for it is a Holy Rest that I have for you. Sometimes you keep moving ahead, moving here and there, when in that moment I am calling you to a time of rest, to rest in Me.

Obey! Obey Me! Trust and obey Me, My Children! Trust and obey Me!

Shallow breathing can't sustain abundant life. I have given you the Breath of Life. Breathe in deeply the Breath of Life. It's sustains you.

My Anointing oil is meant to seep into every 'nook and cranny' in your life as you surrender those places to Me, more and more.

Be careful of what and who you are influenced by. I want you influenced by Me, listening to the Holy Spirit in you. Let Him be your Influencer.

Stop fretting! I didn't ask you to fret about things. I've called you to pray, to pray in the Name of Jesus…not to fret. Stop fretting! Lift things up before Me.
