Backtrack. Look at your past to go forward. Look not with the eyes of condemnation, but with My eyes of love. Look to see all I am doing in your life. It is when you reflect – stop and reflect – you will see your progress in Me. Come, let us talk about this together.

The measure of faith is your progress in Me: how much you are prepared to receive; how much you are prepared to believe, to believe all I say to you; then, of course, how willing you are, how desirous you are, of wanting to put this into action.

Your efforts are rewarded to the extent that you allow Me to use you, but you need to see where you have been to understand something of where you are going. I will lead you according to that understanding developing, and you implementing it. Keep asking of Me to show you more but always letting Me handle the ‘whys’ and ‘wherefores’.

You must not presume nor jump to conclusions for these may be in gross error outside My sovereign plan. What a waste of time, your precious time, My precious time! Ask Me, always ask Me, to show you what to do. Then wait for the answer for it will surely come, but you can help prepare the way by looking at yourself, where you have been and where you have learnt to move forward so far.

Ask Me to teach you more by My Spirit. Ask for the fullness of My Spirit and plead the triumph of My †, setting you free to be entirely in Me, completely within the bounds, working within the bounds of My sovereign power.

Our success – yours and Mine together – comes when we serve according to our Father’s will. He has a plan of fruition, specific to your life … He will take every aspect of your life, if only you let Him, and turn it into something good. That is why you must look back to look forward.

You have to ask, “What did I learn from this? What happened? How by God’s grace can I implement this truth, the truth of God’s love, that has been revealed to me?” There is an aspect of the fullness of God’s truth given in Me, through My Spirit revealed to … you [when you stop] to reflect.

That is why I say to you, “Be still and know that I am God.”1 Be still sufficiently long and sufficiently often to do this. Stop and reflect; connect the past to the future and ask God what He is showing you, exactly what He is revealing to you. Then take the learning forward in My name of grace. Great things will come from this, I promise you – great benefits to you and others; many blessings of the grace of My presence, the purpose of My teaching you, teaching as God our Father wants you to be taught.

To be taught you have to be a willing scholar, attentive and listening at all times, receptive to My word, willing and wanting to put it into practice. Have you done this? Look back and ask the question. If not, why not? Repent before Me and determine to walk a better way into the future. Listen to Me, Listen to Me, Listen to Me!

1 Psalm 46:10 14

The words that I speak are life to you and to those to whom I send you. Look to whom I am sending you and wonder why. Ask Me, “Why?”

High on My agenda is your understanding – your full, fullest understanding – of what I am commanding you to do. Understanding opens out the reason why. When you accept the reason why, you can see more of My purpose, My plan, and how I work in you and through you. When you go back, you see how I am taking you forward using your own personal experience for growth. Experience the experience you have had in Me, with Me and through Me. This is your best teacher for it is grounded upon My truth, the truth [of] who you are, who I want you to be, who you will be, will become, as you grow in Me, My child. Go back with Me to go forward with Me, and live in Me entirely.

Admit of no other influence, however seemingly exciting, enticing or rewarding. I am the wholeness of the Father manifest here upon earth. I am your teacher. My way is the only way of being certain of pleasing your Father. My Truth is the only truth you can depend upon to the extent that you can stake your life upon it.

Your life – the fullness of your life – depends upon you recognising Me. Look back and see where I was with you. Look back and see where you walked your own wilful way, whatever the good intentions. What happened? Did all your plans come to fruition? No! Learn from this and move forward in Me. To be in Me, only in Me, entirely in Me, is to be free to know God’s plan and purpose and follow it. Will you do this? Will you do this for Me? I ask you to! I ask you now to look back that you may go forward in Me.

Ask for My Spirit’s enlightening. He will guide you. Ask Him often, and if you don’t understand, ask Him again to open up, to open out, what He is showing you. If in doubt, ask Me and wait for the answer. Pay Me this courtesy of waiting. You may not yet be ready to receive all that I want to give you. Giving of Myself to you is a means by which you will grow. I want you to grow by looking back to move forwards. This is My will for you and is to be undertaken seriously with a committed heart. I always honour commitment, so make the time for this; find the time for this and you will be richly rewarded in Me.

Letting go is letting Me take charge of your vision that together we enlarge My purpose, My holy purpose. Love must be the token of exchange in all your dealings. Love means giving to others beyond yourself. By this I intend that you should work, overcoming any resistance of doubt.

Keep asking me for clearance and guidance and I will show you clearly the way forward in My timing which may not be yours in the immediacy of your worldly thinking. The point about seeking Me is that I enlarge your vision of Me, enabling Me therefore to change your decision, and this can actually change the direction of your life.

Life is full of strife – yes, particularly when you fail to consult Me. Do better on this, and you will see much unfolding that formally you thought impossible. Be in conversation with Me as much as you can and wait, for My clearance is given when you are ready to receive, when you have made ready to receive by sufficient prayer. Prayer enables you to move forward successfully under the blessing simply because we talked together.

Earnestly you must want to find out what I say, for what I say will always be according to God our Father’s greater plan and purpose to bless. Do you not want to bless others?

Listen to Me and follow the advice. Do not fail Me in this. There is much at stake for [you] and others. Do you not yet realise the very great difference I came to make?

Put this now into practice in your own life and then rejoice. Rejoice in the choice – or choices – we have made together.

Let my Spirit work through you together with you. Then you can bless others in all that you do.

Fulfil My obligation to those people I give you. No more for this present time lest you slip back. My peace is My desire for you, not My burden of care overwrought.

Wait on Me and My telling. In the meantime serve where you have been already sent. Strengthen and succour [yourself] …

Come away with Me to those quiet places where your heart finds repose. There you can become My little child in the calm as you trust again, trust in all that is happening to you by My hand.

My Spirit is breaking you in … This is My desire and longing, that you may know more of Me and work in My power. In My time you will know and understand all that I am working for in you … My [child] …

Come away with Me and let your [heart and mind] be restored to gladness, refreshed by My Spirit. He it is who brings you life and love to the full, My very energy of being as you intend towards Me.

Teaching as taught, learning as of Me, knowing and understanding in My name, strengthened and restored, you will be Mine again in a new way of revealing, a new certainty, My blessed assurance.

As your heart burns with longing for Me, your desire will be met by My closeness, My security. Come, My [child], together we walk life’s way, its twisting paths. Come and claim Me as your own, each day enfolded in My love and life source.

My truth is My truth. It cannot fail you. My promise holds fast. Believe Me. No problems are insurmountable in My name. I do for you what you want Me to do, if only you believe and ask.

Listen to My voice again. Listen and learn of Me. My heart’s desire is to please you, to bring you My peace, for that was My promise. Do not be afraid, but turn all things over to Me in this situation, in every situation, knowing I am at work. Believe Me, My child. I am yours.

What you have is of Me. What you will be is of Me. Guard it prayerfully and with My hope. Take your stand and hold fast on to that which I give you, My word, My promise that all will be well in spite of the appearances. This will help you know Me in a greater way as you see My power at work, My love manifest.

Be of Me and in Me; absolved into My truth, at one with My being, totally committed; no shadow between us, no shadow of doubt nor plane of worry.

My plans are for you unfolding in My name and cause. Continue to tread My path. Where it leads I will follow, making everything smooth enough. Do not give up on the way. I need you there beside Me. I am calling out to you as never before to believe in Me, with urgency. Do not be disheartened.

Praise My name and sing of My glory as you become awakened to My power. Dear [child], I hold you safe. Your plans are My plans and will not fail nor disappoint you. Wait patiently for My working, My promise to come to fruition.

My dream is not shattered; it is merely bending with the will of the world; but I came to overcome all forces contrary to good. You know that. Believe Me and claim My healing promise. I make all things well in My name.

Mine it is to appoint, Mine to give and take away. I give you now My promise that all is not lost. This is the truth of My speaking.

Glad I am that you listened. Seek Me more that I may commune with you until we meet face to face.

[I have given you] My gentle Spirit of peace: peace in your hearts and minds; peace in your lives. Peace in your dealings with other people, that you may calm their troubled hearts because you believe in Me and bring peace, My peace into their situation. They can be healed once more in My name of righteousness.

My justice will prevail where and when men walk in My peace claiming My promise to them: “My peace I bring you.” This is no small promise but the foundation upon which security is built and you are strengthened. It is peace that binds, peace that holds, peace that mends those hearts and emotions torn asunder. Only My peace brings true healing and wholeness. Peace is My everlasting gift to those who believe in Me and act upon it.

Spread My Good News, for in as much as you do men can be made whole, recovered from doubt and despair. My gift is for the giving, yours for the receiving and sharing amongst those I put you with. This is My mission to you: “As you are Mine share Me out gladly, teaching in My name of all that I have shown and told you.” My peace will descend as you pray into men’s hearts.

Taste and see that the Lord is good, bringing you the bread of life which will allow you the taste of My freedom. Come and sup with Me as often as you can, for thereby you will be strengthened and upbuilt in Me in My great mystery of transformation.

My life is [expressed]2 by the bread and wine offered for you on Calvary – My life poured out not in vain but in triumph to bring you back to the Father. As you eat this bread and drink this wine you become Our children again, for you and [I] become as one body journeying together to the Father.

My bread is that which strengthens all of you, for it is the grain of true life and meaning. It sprouts within you when watered by My love and intentions which you allow. As the ears of corn grow tall, the sunlight imparts strength and the rain swells the grain into fullness of heart. So it is with Me.

I am the light and the warmth. I provide the nourishment which fertilizes growth. Germination can only take place when the soil of your heart is ready to be planted. This involves tilling, reaping and sowing in cycle. As the furrows lengthen and deepen, the seed of My word penetrates deeper into the heart soil. It will grow to fullness, true fullness only when you believe completely in all that I tell and show you.

Your belief must grow, must flower under the strain of the everyday burden of tasks, for in forming you I will show you what is of Me and what is not, what is of value and what you can jettison.

Clearing the clutter was the plan. You need My help on this for I see the way ahead, your heart’s desire at the rainbow’s end.

You will be granted My strength to succeed in all of those tasks given of Me and directed in My name of righteousness. Seeking, you are finding My will, My plan, My purpose for you …

Longing to serve, you too will be served by Me. My wish is that you know Me more thoroughly that you may use of My power as you reach out to others, those in search looking for Me.

2 symbolised

Plant in your heart’s poor soil that which you know is truly of Me and My teaching. I came not to serve alone but to be in men’s hearts, to be their strength, their sustenance, their soul’s search, their destiny. It is life’s mystery that you must seek Me every day in the ‘everywhere’ until you find My substance deep in your own heart and with others, as well as entirely beyond man’s imagining.

You cannot comprehend Me nor contain Me, but can diffuse yourself … into My being. Become as one with Me. This is how you were created to be, complete and wholly alive in Me.

I fill you now with My warmth of life, My love in riotous bloom, beautiful as the blossom you behold, breathtaking, breathing life into every fibre of your being.

Unite with Me in bread and wine. Drink of My cup. It is the cup of eternal salvation. Eat of My body. It is the bread of life-giving truth; it stands for all time.

My table stands ready for the banquet to which you are invited by Me. My [child], come and dance before Me with joy in My house forever.
