As a mother hen gathers her chicks beneath her wings, so I am gathering
you beneath My wings for protection, for safety, for security,
for confidence, and also for you to know how much I love you.
Is it not written, and have you not experienced, that I love you so much
that I gave My only begotten Son for you that as you believe upon Him
you have everlasting life? From the beginning, I have set My love upon you.
My love is the banner over you. It is a banner over you, a banner!
I Am Jehovah-Nissi over you ~ protection over you.

That which I have begun in you, have no fear, I will complete it, I will finish it.
Did I not say to you that I would? Did I not say unto you that I will perfect
all those things - ALL! I said that I will perfect all that concerns you.
Believest thou Me? Only believe and all things are possible, you just wait and see.

Where they have been in rebellion, they will no longer be in rebellion.
Where they have acted like little hellions, they will begin to be those who encompass
themselves in My love, just you wait and see.

Remember, time is of no essence to Me, and it should not be of an essence to you.
It should not be that you say, "I have to do it by this date, or by that date."
Just know that I am doing it and I am working in the realm of the Spirit.
I am working in the invisible where you cannot see unless as you call upon Me,
I show you great and mighty things which you know not of
unless I show you those things that are not visible,
things that you cannot have access to unless I ordain it and choose it for you.

Moses endured, seeing Me Who is invisible. You can endure, too,by seeing Me
Who is invisible. Think it not strange when they say whatever they say of you,
just know that I am working in you as I am working in them.
Think it not strange either when you consider that your eye has grown dim,
when you say "I cannot envision Him as I want to envision Him."
Ha! I am there, saith God. I am only as a breath away from you.
So know that I am there, whether you can see Me, or feel Me, or know Me or not!
For I have said I will never leave thee, I will never forsake thee,
and I will never depart from thee.

 You have My heart, you see! Yet you have not known My heart
like you are going to know My heart. O! I am going to give you
portions of My heart that you have not been able to stand up under, you see.
For when you receive My heart, you will put up with so much,
and you will say, "Oh God, it is only because you have worked in me
that which is eternal that I can endure and be patient."

You will learn the fruit of the Spirit as you have never known
the fruit of the Spirit before, which is I say unto you this night, longsuffering!
And you will suffer long with people, you will have longsuffering with gentleness
and kindness as you have never known gentleness and kindness.
You are going to be gentle with people. You are going to be kind to people,
and you are going to patient where you have been impatient.

If you will be patient, I will work all things for thee and you will surely see
that I am a God of restoration. I will restore all that the locusts, the caterpillars,
the cankerworm, and the palmerworm has eaten and stolen from you.
You just wait and see. When I restore, it is greater than it ever was,
and it is stronger than it ever was. So fret not thyself because of evildoers,
but look unto Me, and you will see that as you delight yourself in Me,
I will give you the desires of your heart.

Trust Me, and you shall surely see that I shall cause it all to come to pass,
just as I have shown thee, and just as I have spoken to thee.
Only do what thy hand finds to do. Find rest, find peace, have joy,
and serve Me with joy and gladness of heart.

Be content right where you are, and then you will be content in that
which I have in store for you, in that which I have placed for you
before the foundations of the world were laid. I looked upon you and said
even when there was death in your blood, I said, "Live."
And I speak life to your blood.

So rejoice, for yes, one door to the past is closed, and a new door to the future is open,
for you have said, "Lord, I open the door of my heart, I have heard Your knock,
and I say, 'Come on in and have Your way, have Your say.'"
And it will grow stronger and stronger, for there is no limit, day after day.
