My Best is yet to come

Psalm 27:13 "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living."

The enemy of your soul has been relentless in getting you to focus on your natural circumstances. But as you use wisdom you will see this is only evidence of the fact that he knows the promise if coming to pass and his time of killing, stealing and destroying is coming to an end. As many things are shaking around you the enemy desires to reduce you to reliance on your natural abilities of taste, touch see, smell and hear. But, I say to you there is a supernatural posture that is required of you in this hour. The very best that I have planned for you cannot be realized in the natural. For you to walk in your very best you must look beyond your natural senses. This supernatural place is your place of inheritance. So yes, there are giants in the land but, I have taught your hands to war, I have taught you to rely on Me in your wilderness and to trust that I am always with you. I am still the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night that goes before you to lead you and guide you in all of your ways. Beloved child, in Me is the fullness of joy and I know that in this hour that My joy will be your fortifying banner of strength and rejuvenation. You need not be afraid of what you see and what you hear. I am still your God who knows the plans I have for you. I am still You Father who will supply for you out of My riches in glory. I have created all things and I own it all and I have poured all things out to you as My delight and good pleasure because I love you and you are Mine. You will experience the fullness of My Promise here in the earth. All things that I have promised will come to pass. Whose report will you believe? Hold on to Me and do not let go of your faith in your Faithful God because My very best is still yet to come, says the Lord.

Your best is the least you can do

Beloved I have said in My Word that it is not by might, nor by power but by My eternal Spirit that you shall know, understand and receive all things. I have watched you toil in your ability and to only find yourself coming up short time and time again. I want to tell you today that your very best is the least you can do. I do not warrant My work and power in you by your own ability to do and to be. I know what I have placed inside of you. I know the tasks of which I have ordained for you to perform with success and for My glory. I know the Word that I have spoken concerning you and in you and I am He who watches over every word to bring it to its fullness. All that I desire to reveal to you in this hour will require you to answer My call to go beyond your natural ability and tap into My supernatural ability. This supernatural knowledge that I have reserved for My faithful and obedient is being pour out now. There are things that you need to know that are vital to your future and these things are only known by My Spirit and can only be revealed and taught by My Spirit. Your best efforts will never be enough; you must learn to fervently seek Me and rely on and trust in Me and My wisdom in this hour. I desire to make known to you secret things, things kept hidden and set for revealing in such a time as this. All things that I have planned for your lives can be made known to you as you inquire of Me and humble yourself and set your heart to know and understand the plans and strategy of heaven. So I say to you come up higher, tap into the supernatural flow of heaven and I will show you things never before seen or understood.  My desire is to bring you into the supernatural; this is the place where you realize that you have come to end of yourself and you are now moving in a strength and resolve beyond your own human ability. Surrender your own strategy and lay aside your own agenda because in this hour your very best is the least you can do, says the Lord.

Isaiah 55:6-9 (AMP) “Seek, inquire for, and require the Lord while He may be found [claiming Him by necessity and by right]; call upon Him while He is near. 7Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have love, pity, and mercy for him, and to our God, for He will multiply to him His abundant pardon. 8For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

I Am your God

My beloved child, even as you continue to face many challenges you need only know that I Am with you. I am Your Father, Your Comforter and your Friend. When you cannot seem to see your way clear you must know that I know the plans that I have for you. As you continue to press forward know that I have made a way for you, My righteous one. Do you fully understand what I mean when I say that I will never leave you nor forsake you? Have you received the fullness of the revelation that there is no place that you can go to escape My love and My presence? You will need to be confidently assured of this in the days ahead. When many will walk in disbelief and unrest you will be safe and secure in My arms. Do not be afraid for I am Your God, do not be dismayed for I am now and forever your Savior. Come in without fear or hesitation and make your dwelling in the secret place of My presence and you shall indeed be kept stable and fixed under My shadow because no foe, no test, trial or difficulty can withstand My power. I Am the Lord, your Refuge, your Fortress and your God; therefore, lean on Me, rely on Me and confidently trust in Me. Even as darkness surrounds you seeking to drown out the Light that is in you, know that I will deliver you; I will cover you and shield you in the day of trouble. Therefore call to Me and I will answer, speak to Me and I will hear, ask of Me and I will answer, seek Me and you will find Me, knock on the Door and it shall be opened to you, cry out to Me and I will hear and deliver, only believe, only believe, says the Lord.

Psalm 91:14-16 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. 15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

Unconventional Provision

Exodus 15:22-27 “Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea, and they moved out into the desert of Shur. They traveled in this desert for three days without finding any water. 23 When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink. So they called the place Marah (which means “bitter”). 4 Then the people complained and turned against Moses. “What are we going to drink?” they demanded. 25 So Moses cried out to the LORD for help, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink. It was there at Marah that the LORD set before them the following decree as a standard to test their faithfulness to him. 26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.” 27 After leaving Marah, the Israelites traveled on to the oasis of Elim, where they found twelve springs and seventy palm trees. They camped there beside the water.”

My child I have made a way for you, and your provision has already been supplied. You need only move in obedience to My commands and submit to My way of doing, being and thinking. As you yield in obedience you will discover that there are steps of obedience that I have called you to that will lead to the prophetic fulfillment of My promise for your life. And although these steps may seem out of the ordinary it is indeed still My way of getting you to the place of your supply. My requests of obedience may be way off of the norm but I am God and I am not bound by or function or operate in accordance with the conventional. I have made every provision for you. I have set everything thing in place and taken every step to meet every possible or expected need that you have today and in the future. To see the full manifestation of these things of which I am speaking you must yield to Me in complete obedience thereby showing your faithfulness to the destiny that I have designed and ordained for you. There is a place of testing that I have ordained for you to walk through into the place of obedience and over-abundant provision. I am setting you up for the establishment of your destiny so yield completely; even to My unconventional method of provision, says the Lord.

Stay in assigned place

Exodus 33:14-16 (NIV) “The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
And the Lord says, Many of My children have gotten out from the place where I have planted them and are neglecting to rest in My perfect timing. You have allowed circumstances to keep you from standing shore-footedly in your place of assignment. I say to you in-spite of all; stand and stay in your position. Many have been caught out of position. Many have allowed the enemy to lure them into a place that I have not ordained. Many have listened to the voice of another and have allowed their circumstances, situations and emotions to deafen their ears to the voice of their Shepherd. I say to you get back in line; get back into your position now. This position has been assigned to you, therefore, every provision has been made for you to be blessed, and for you to increase and multiply. This is also your ordained place of instruction and provision and as you stand in this place your adversary will indeed try to draw you out into unfamiliar territory. You must be persuaded that it is only your continued obedience in this assigned place that will protect you and propel you into your destiny. I have a hope and a future planned for you; do not get impatient and step out before Me. I have provision in this place so that you will always be fully satisfied. This place is the place of fulfillment and manifestation so do not weary in well doing and do not weary in waiting for just at the right time, if you faint not, you shall see the promise fulfilled. Do not lose hope for the promise now. Stay in position, stay in your assigned place and I will supply new courage and new boldness that is needed to press through the battle and into the promise.

Do not focus on the longevity of the staying in your position but instead stay focused on the fulfillment in My appointed time. Beloved, there is no true blessing to be had outside of Me and My perfect timing. I have told you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought. The devil has come in to pervert this and My children now suffer from a lack of identity and do not know who they are in Me. Beloved this is extreme error and it will lead to your eventual defeat. You must close your ears to the lies of the enemy and stand fast in your position. When you keep your position you will not fall prey to the devil’s lure because I am your God who covers you and keeps you. And you must know who you are in Me. You must know that I have declared that you are My beloved, overcomers, victorious, anointed, and My righteous ones who are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. As you come to know your identity in Me you will be able to stay in your assigned place.

Position yourselves to receive My blessings by getting into the places that I have called you to and staying there in that assigned place until I say to move or shift. You must not go anywhere that I do not lead you to go and do not leave anywhere until I tell instruct you to leave. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time can be costly; mentally, spiritually, emotionally and financially. I will help you to get into proper position and grant you the grace to stay there if you will only submit and obey. It is in the place of obedience that My blessing flows. You have to follow My voice and allow Me to order your steps. Beloved I say this to you again lovingly, yet with all authority; stay in your assigned place until I say to move because at the appointed time I will instruct you in the way to go. Do not be caught out of your assigned place when My Spirit is ready to move.

Psalm 37:23 (AMP)”The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].”

Psalm 102:13(NIV) “You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.”

Psalm 23:1-3 (NKJV)“The LORD is my shepherd, I [a]shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside [b]quiet waters. 3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the [c]paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

Sanctified for His use

John 17:16-18 (AMP) “They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. 18 Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.”

Beloved I chose you before the foundation of the world and you were conceived in My mind even before I knit you together in your mother’s womb. It was My good pleasure to make you in fear and wonder. Having done all of this you must know and understand that I did so with the motive of love. I purified you, consecrated you and separated you unto Myself because I love you with an everlasting love. I created you for relationship with Myself. I sanctified you for My use; freed you from sin, making you holy. It is I Who has approved you therefore, you are fully approved. Do not look to man or to your human effort for approval or justification; I am He who justifies. The season has come where those whom I have set apart must rise up without fear. There is a new thing coming forth now and I have made you ready. Put off the fear and negativity and clothed yourself in faith and godly wisdom. If you will allow Me I will wholly sanctify every thought, word and deed and bring you into perfect alignment with My perfect will. You have been sanctified for My use therefore, go forth now with boldness, courage and integrity knowing that I watch over My Word so that it performs to the fullest and I will accomplish My desired result.

Spirit to spirit

And the Lord says, your battle is not against flesh and blood and for you to continue to war from this place of your limited human understanding it will continue to fuel your disillusionment and will ultimately lead to a place of defeat. You are a citizen of the Kingdom therefore you must war from a Kingdom perspective. Although I have gifted you with your intelligence, your emotions and your senses unless they are fully submitted they will prove ineffective in the wars ahead. This war although it plays out in the natural is birthed in the spiritual. Therefore, you war from a place of the supernatural using the supernatural weapons that I have provided for you. The only reason your situation looks overwhelming is because you have not yet fully grasped the victory that has already been set in place for you. The victory is yours when you use My mighty weapons to exist outside of the familiarity of your humanity. I am calling you higher to a place where you live, move and have your being in the Spirit. It is in this place of the spirit where the walls come down, obstacles are made obsolete, your thoughts become fully submitted and you come into the fullness of the knowledge of Me. There is no difficult situation or difficult person that cannot be overcome through your submission to My way of thinking, being, loving and warring. The time has come for you to fully receive the revelation that the things of the kingdom are of the spirit and they require spiritual weapons if they are to fulfill their spiritual purpose.

"Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?" Galatians 3:3
