My spirit is in expectation today. He must increase-I must decrease. It is only through death we can truly live. This is a work of the Father, not anything we can accomplish. Even our obedience is born of Him, for He is the one who gives us the grace & ability to live in the reality of the death & resurrection. Our transformation is His work, not something we can do ourselves. Our mandate is to access all He has already given us-to lay hold of all He has already done. He views us as a completed work-seeing the end from the beginning.

These are desperate, difficult times, but it will become more difficult & desperate still. Are we prepared? Compression us upon the face of the earth. There are clashes in the heavens & on the earth. This is a most challenging, most exciting time in which to be alive & be called beloved of the Father. Do not lose heart. Cast not away your confidence-He stands with us & will not allow one anything (anything!) to come to you unless it has passed through His loving hand.
