1 Hearing from God by Bonnie June, 2010 My First Blog This is my first blog and I am rather new to this whole process! I thought I would start with a few thoughts that have been rolling around in my mind lately. I am at the stage of my life where it seems the past twenty years has gone by so quickly that I haven't had time to enjoy the ride! I had been working full time until a year ago, now working 3 days a week and thereby finding a few more hours in the week in which to think of other things. I hadn't realized how much of my life working had taken... many, many hours. I'm sure there are a lot of people who can work full time and still have a very full life outside of work. I was not one of those, as I always seemed to be too tired after work to think of going out at night, perhaps to a class to learn a new hobby, or to a social event. Weekends were taken up with housework, children, church and social life. While my two sons were young I did attend an art class once and later a drawing class, which I enjoyed for a short time until the teacher left. I also enrolled in a bookbinding class which was interesting, but I eventually ran out of books to rebind and that was that! I tried ice skating in my mid thirties which was fun at the time, but that only lasted about 18 months when I began a part time job, but not before I had a fall on the ice and fractured my wrist! I took it up again later in life but after another fall and a fractured elbow and torn tendon in my shoulder, I had to admit it was not the best pastime for a secretary who needs her hands to earn a living! So for the past 8 or 9 years I have not engaged in any activity as such, just work, family, friends and church life. I presently live with my husband of 18 years (second time around for both of us) and we are now empty nesters looking at sharing the rest of our days together. Kevin and I are part of a close-knit church family who meet weekly in each other's homes on a Sunday morning and on Monday fortnights, after our church disintegrated over a year ago. We have read the book "So You Don't Want to go to Church Anymore" by Wayne Jacobsen and realized that was exactly where we were at. To date we have not been led to attend any other church and find that meeting with our 'church family', in our homes meets our need for fellowship. We don't have an agenda, we just allow ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit. We spend quite a bit of time just talking and 1

2 sharing what God has been doing in our lives over the past week/fortnight. Just catching up - building bridges and growing closer. We pray for each other and sometimes listen to a worship CD... however we feel led. We see ourselves as family, not just friends... we are God's family, living much as the believers did in the first century when there were no church buildings, only home churches. I might end this blog here and add another so it's not too much to read in one sitting. In my next blog I will add a message I believe the Lord gave me recently to encourage me. Saturday, June 12, 2010 Encouragement In April this year the Lord gave me the following words of encouragement: "I am leading you into a new phase of your life My daughter. Don't fear, you are in My will and I will lead you and guide you and strengthen you. There is nothing you cannot do when I am with you, My daughter. Fear not, I am your Lord and I look after My children. I am looking after your children too, so trust Me entirely with your family. Heed My words and no-one else's. Only I know the end from the beginning." Saturday, July 17, 2010 More Encouragement The Lord has been reminding me lately that He has not forgotten me. That is encouraging! I have been asking for a miracle of healing for my husband, Kevin, who had osteoarthritis in his ankles to the extent that he has difficulty walking. He needs new cartilage - which only the Lord can provide. He also has no cartilage left in his right knee but is scheduled for a knee replacement in August. However, there is at present no such joint replacement available for ankles. We have left it in the Lord's hands for His answer! I am also asking for a miracle of healing for my daughter-in-law who has been diagnosed with a condition called RSD/Complex Regional Pain Disorder following a simple bunion operation, and now a second diagnosis of Avascular Necrosis on the bone where her surgeon operated. This is not a welcome diagnosis especially at 28 years of age and in the first year of married life. She is scheduled for an operation on Monday to assist the healing of these two conditions and many prayers are being offered for her total healing. My son has been a tower of strength to his lovely wife and I am very proud of him. It has been tough on them both, but the Lord holds the answer 2

3 and I believe healing will come! For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say, "The Lord is my Helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Hebrews 13: 5,6 Saturday, August 21, 2010 God is Good God is good! He loves to give us encouragement! At our Sunday morning Home Church recently our friend, Michael, said he had been praying that morning and asked God why He hadn't healed my daughter-in-law. Michael said he heard these words, "All will be well. Never doubt that I love Kelsey as much as anyone else. You don't have to love Me for Me to love you. I have it in hand. - Kelsey's healing is coming." Those words have given much encouragement to my son and daughter-in-law and we eagerly await God's healing. Thank you Jesus! Sunday, January 2, 2011 New Year 2011 Well, another year has flashed by and where am I? At the beginning of a new year. So many possibilities stretch before me. How not to become entrenched in past habits and past thought patterns? Lord, help me to break free from old thought patterns and from negative thoughts and emotions. Help me to see ahead with hope and confidence, with You going before me at all times, leading and guiding me on the right path. I see flowers along the side of my path as I walk with You... flowers up ahead and bright sunshine. Love and laughter around and ahead. You will not fail me, I know. "Don't fear My daughter. I have many wonderies to show you"... (wonderies??? Wonders and glories!) "They will be set before you as you continue along the path I have for you. There is to be no fear in your heart this year... many glories will unfold before you... just listen for My voice to guide and support you." "Never will I leave you... never will I forsake you, My child. All is in hand, fear not." Sunday, January 23, 2011 More on "Faith - Not Fear" 3

4 On January 9, The Lord said to me: "Faith, not fear - no fear this year in any area of your life. This is what I say to you, My daughter. To fear means you are not trusting in Me, your Lord and Saviour. Don't fear the world, don't fear the future, for I have promised to provide for you and to protect you and your family. My Holy Spirit is within you to give you peace and security in My love. No fear... only love and laughter; much laughter is good for the soul. I am here with you always, My daughter. I will not fail you. Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you. Leave all your problems with Me and I will provide the answers. Go now in peace, I love you." Sunday, 30 January 2011 The Lord's Presence and Protection "I want you to know that I am with you always, even when you are not aware of My presence. Your awareness helps you, not Me, but regardless of whether you are aware of Me or not, I am here with you now and always. Don't fear stepping out into the unknown, for I am already there and I have prepared the way for you. There is nothing to fear whatever happens in your life or in the life of those you love, for I have them in my hands as well as you. Go in peace to love and serve Me, your Lord." Monday, 28 February 2011 "Relax in My love and never doubt that I am with you and I am for you. Nothing will happen to you or your family outside of My will, so fear not. You have entrusted yourself and your family to Me and I will protect them. Now is the time of salvation. honor Me, My child, and I will honor your wishes and heart's desires. All is well, fear not and go in peace." Saturday, 19 March 2011 Our Thoughts are not God's Thoughts "Daughter, just trust Me and stay close to Me. No harm can befall you. I have mapped out the path for you that is right for you. Don't look at the lives of others and think you have missed the way somewhere, for you have not. Each path for my children is a different path that is right just for them. You may not think you are doing much for My Kingdom, but I see things differently." Thursday, 24 March

5 The Lord's Provision - Now and Future "You have Me beside you every step of the way. There is no need for concern... for I am watching over you... Don't look ahead with concern, just know that I have already provided for all your needs - your present needs as well as your future needs. I know your future needs, My child, and I have already stored them for you in readiness, to be provided to you at just the right time. Learn to relax in My love for you and in My provision for you. Say to yourself many times during the day, 'I will not fear for My Lord is with me and is providing for me'. Go in peace - I love you." Monday, April 25, 2011 All from The Lord's Hand Sunday, 17 April Listening to the Lord... "See everything that comes your way as from My hand, My daughter. Nothing that comes into your life is by chance." Tuesday, April 26, 2011 The Lord's Guidance Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5,6. This has always been one of my favorite scriptures and a reminder that if I seek the Lord's guidance, all I need is to remember that He is in my heart and, as long as I acknowledge Him, He will guide me in the way He wants me to go. Very simple really! I am learning to listen more to my heart and I am aware that if I have God's peace about a situation, then that is the right way to proceed. If I have any unrest at all, I don't proceed and I continue to wait on the Lord until I have his peace. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts... Colossians 3:15 5

6 Sunday, June 19, 2011 More Encouragement "There is nothing I cannot do for you, My child. Just ask and I will answer. Always believe that I will answer your prayer. As My child you always have My ear and I will not fail you. You are embarking on a new stage of your life soon. Don't fear this next stage for I am already there waiting for you and I have everything in place. Fear not - all is in order. Go now in peace. I love you." "No matter what happens in your life you will never be alone." I'm really not sure what the above refers to but I suspect that it will be my retirement. I am working three days a week for solicitors, which is working out well so far, but I do wonder how long I am to continue working. I keep saying to myself that my husband and I could do with the extra money as he is on a disability pension and I am on part age pension. Without my supplemental salary the pension alone would not be much to live on. However, that's my common sense speaking, not God, so I'm learning to listen to His voice rather than mine and to discover what He has for me in this next stage of my life, and when it is to begin. Sunday, 19 July 2011 Banish Fear "My daughter, I am always with you, no matter what, and I will always speak to your heart when you take the time to listen. Don't allow fear to rule in your heart. Banish fear at all costs. It cannot dwell with faith. Strengthen your faith in Me and in My word. I will not fail you." Monday, 29, August 2011 Don't be afraid "My dear child, how I love you. How I long for you to know more of Me. I am watching over you and understand your deepest needs and your heart's desires. I will not fail to bring more love into your life. Good things abound for My children - those who don't fail to put their trust in Me and in My love and in My word. My word is your guarantee of My presence in your life. I have promised to protect and to guide you and I will not fail in My duty of care to you, so fear not. All is well. Don't be afraid of what is coming on the earth shortly for I am in it. I will protect you 6

7 and your loved ones. Keep close to Me and don't despair, for I will be with you always. There will be so many changes in a short space of time and you must be ready to adapt and you can only be ready by keeping close to Me and listening for My voice. This is all I would say to you this morning. I love you." Thursday, 20 October 2011 Don't Doubt "No, you must not doubt the love I have for you, My daughter. You are having a difficult time, I know, but this will be short-lived. You will not stay in your present position at work for as long as you think, but don't despair, for I am in it. I have other plans for you, My daughter... plans that will cause your heart to leap for joy at what I have in store for you! There is much ahead for you both and I will honor your trust in Me. Fear not! I love you." Monday, 31 October 2011 Listen only to God "Daughter, heed My words. Don't listen to others - listen only to Me. I will protect you in the days to come. Be guided by My Holy Spirit. Listen to my leading; listen to the gentle nudging of My Spirit within you. I will give you peace about every decision. If you don't have peace about a decision then don't proceed. I will give you the answer when you need it and not before." Thursday, 1 December 2011 No Fear for Future "Praise the Lord, for He is good; His mercies endure forever!" "Daughter, don't be the least concerned about your future. I have given you my word that I will provide for your every need, and I shall. You must not rely on, or have faith in, money, especially the money you earn, for it can be taken away from you in a single moment. I am your provider. Your needs are not just monetary and I provide all your needs. If you need money I will provide it. If you need food I will provide it. If you need clothing I will provide it. If you need love I will provide it. If you need friends I will provide them. Fear not - your future is assured, My daughter. 7

8 Fear not what is coming on the earth shortly for I will be with you in every circumstance you find yourself and I will lead you through. Never doubt my provision. Remember, I told you my duty of care toward you will continue no matter what the circumstances. You have my word that I will not fail you!" Saturday, 10 December 2011 Don't Fear Change "You know things will change suddenly but you must not fear. Be afraid of nothing but not knowing and not obeying Me. As you stay close to Me and obey my leadings I will restore you and led you out of situations and into My will. You are not to doubt that I am speaking to you and that I have your best interest at heart, for I love you dearly, My child. Nothing is certain in this world - only My love for you and your loved ones. Heed not the voice of anyone other than My voice, for others would have you believe that what you are hearing is not from Me, but it is I who am speaking to you. For many years now you have listened and heard My words to you and you have faithfully written down what I have been speaking to you and for this I am pleased. Continue this practice as it will help to strengthen your faith in the days to come. There is nothing for you to fear, My child, for I am with you every step that you take. Your loved ones will be protected as you continue your prayers for them. Fear not - all is well- and in spite of what is coming on the earth shortly you will rejoice for the plans I have for you and your husband. You are my servants and will serve me greatly in the days to come. Go in peace and remember that I love you dearly." Sunday, December 18, 2011 Word from the Lord re my work On 20 October the Lord said to me, "You will not stay in your present position at work for as long as you think, but don't despair, for I am in it." On 1 December my boss told me that the workload would increase shortly as he had bought out another practice and my job would turn into a full time position. As I only want part time work, I declined the offer of the full time position. I was not surprised by this conversation as the Lord had prepared me beforehand. Unless I am offered one or two days work, I will be retiring when the full time person arrives. I had thought of retiring at the end of 2012, pushing on an extra year for financial reasons, but the Lord knows best and I am looking forward to what the Lord has in store for me in 2012! 8

9 Monday, 19 December 2011 Working days near end "Your working days are fast coming to an end, My daughter. You have done well, but I have much more in store for you than you could possibly imagine! Keep close to Me and keep listening for My words to you and I will guide you and protect you in whatever I lead you into for My Name's sake. Trust Me with everything precious in your life, My child, for I love you dearly and I have your best interests at heart! Go in faith and continue to trust Me and to obey My word and My leading." Friday, 30 December 2011 The Coming Year 2012 "There is more coming than you could possibly imagine, My child. There is no point in your trying to imagine what is coming on the earth, for you cannot. As I have said, I have not revealed everything in My word, so you must not even try to imagine. You will be overwhelmed by sights you see and things you hear, but not for long, for you will remember My words to you and that I am with you in whatever is coming. Heed not the videos you watch, for the authors know not what is coming either. They postulate on things that they know not of. It makes interesting viewing but it is not the truth. I am the Truth and staying close to Me is what I require from you at this time. You are My lights to disperse My love in the world and I will send those to you to whom you are to witness of My great love for them. Don't seek out these people; allow Me to send them to you." Saturday, 28 January, 2012 Listening to the Lord "I will give you the ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it." How can I be sure, Lord, when I hear your voice that it is actually you? "You will know because My Holy Spirit will witness to it." Lord, I feel I haven t done much with my life. 9

10 "You have overcome, that is the most important thing." "You are who you are because I have made you this way." "Daughter, it is all in My hands. Everything that is coming on the earth is all in My hands, so fear not." "Remember, I have redeemed you - I have called you by name - you are Mine!" Wednesday, 22 February, 2012 Fear Not "Daughter, you are in My will, so fear not. There is nothing outside of My will in your life even though you may think there is. Kevin is going through a difficult time but I am with him and he needs not fear. I will not leave him in his present condition and this will all be for his good. Don't be over concerned at what you see and hear from Kevin for I am with him and will bring him through his difficulties." Sunday, 4 March, 2012 Stay Close to Jesus "Don't fear, My daughter, there is nothing to fear. I am always with you. I will be teaching you new things shortly. You must learn new ways of receiving My blessing and My instructions. Times are coming that will put fear into the hearts of many but it must not be so for you. My children need to stay very close to Me to bring them through these times. My sheep know My voice and they follow Me. I will make My presence known to you in a way that you haven't known before. Fear not, I will look after you and your family. There is nothing you can do to prepare yourself or your family for what is coming. Only I can help you and save you. Remember, you are Mine; you are Mine and no-one else's. I will not allow anyone or anything to come between us for you are so precious to Me. Remember that I died for you; My love for you is so great and you are so precious to Me. What is coming on the world is designed to tear many from Me but I will not allow it. The enemy is planning much against My children, but I will not allow it to come to fruition. My children belong to Mr and no-one can snatch them out of My hands. Remember that always. No-one can snatch them out of My hand, now or forever! 10

11 You are Mine; I have called you by name. I have redeemed you - you are Mine forever and ever." Saturday, 10 March 2012 Don't move from your home "Why would you want to leave your home? The home I have chosen for you? You wouldn't be happy if you moved, My daughter. This is your home while you are on earth. I have plans for you in this home. Don't be concerned about the work that needs to be done - I will help you with the work. Wherever you go there will be work to be done - you can't escape this - but I will help you. You are to remain where you are so that my purposes can be carried out in your lives. Await my timing and you will see my plans unfold for you." Friday, 16 March 2012 Don't doubt "Don t doubt that I am with you My daughter and I will look after you. Fear not, for much is happening in your life at the moment but I am in it. You will come through this operation then I will speak to you about retiring from your work at Shaddicks for I have much for you to do for Me that requires your attention. Fear not. I am with you always." Sunday, 18 March 2012 Love and Obedience "I want you to know how much I love you, My daughter. You must not fear, I have everything ready for you. Don't fear that you won't see Heaven, for your home with Me is assured. You are My daughter in whom I delight! Don t think that you have not done enough for Me, for this is an error in your thinking. I require My children to love Me and to trust Me and what you do for Me is born out of that. I am not interested in works, for works' sake; I am interested in your love and your obedience. I want you to keep coming to Me and listening for My voice and I will speak words to you that will uplift you and guide you. I will not fail you in this, My daughter." Friday, 23 March 2012 Belief is a Matter of the Heart 11

12 "Daughter, you wonder how people cannot believe in Me when you read of the miracles I performed. It is because their hearts are hardened and they won't allow My Holy Spirit to penetrate to bring the truth. Your heart is not hardened and you can see all the Holy Spirit wants to show you in My word. Keep your heart soft and teachable, My daughter. This way you will experience more of My life in you. Belief in Me is not an academic exercise, it is a heart exercise. I am pleased with you, My daughter, for you are obeying Me and listening for My voice as I have asked you to. Fear not, all is in My hands and I will not fail you. Your children are in My care, so there is no need to fear for them. Keep upholding them to Me in prayer as you have been doing and I will lead them on the path I have chosen for each of them... I cannot fail to answer your prayers, My daughter." Sunday, 25 March 2012 Deception by Satan "There are so many things that are coming on the earth, My daughter, and all things will be made clear. It is so important that you stay close to Me and to listen for My voice so that I can protect you and guide you. There is so much deception by Satan in the world now and there is much more planned by him, but with My Spirit within you, you will know what is deception and what is of Me, so fear not." Tuesday, 27 March 2012 Being aware of His presence "There is nothing I wouldn't do for you, My daughter, so fear not. I am always with you and I want you to be aware of My presence in your life at all times. I will be with you in every area of your life, in whatever you do. I will not leave you for a moment." Thursday, 29 March 2012 Don't neglect your time with Me "Daughter, daughter, daughter... come to Me My child so that I may strengthen your heart and your faith. Fear not, all is in My hands and no-one can snatch you out of My hand. All is in order and in My plan. Your children are safe in My hands, I have heard your prayers for them. Uphold your husband to Me in prayer for his healing. Keep praying for the salvation of your extended family and I will answer your prayers for them. 12

13 Time is running short, My daughter, so don't neglect your time with Me. Stay close to Me and listen for My voice and My leading at all times. Go in peace, I love you." Friday, 30 March 2012 Step by Step Guidance "You have done well, My daughter. You are obeying Me in keeping your morning times with Me. I will not fail you. I will honor your times with Me and I will speak to your heart and give you all you need for the coming day. Fear not, all is in My hands and all is proceeding as it should. Listen to My words to you and I will guide you step by step. Don't doubt that it is I who am speaking to you and guiding you. I come to My children in different ways and this is the way I have chosen to speak to you, so trust in what you hear and know that I cannot fail you, ever. Your children are in My care. Remember that I love them more than you do. Keep upholding them to Me as also your husband for his healing. Don't doubt that I hear your prayers and am answering them. It may seem to be taking a long time, but remember, there is no time in heaven and in My timing these events have already happened. Be patient for them to materialize in the physical world. This is enough for this morning. Go now and remember I am with you always." Sunday, 1 April 2012 Fear is not of God "Fear is not of Me, always remember that. If you find yourself in fear and worry, that is not of Me and you must cast it out and allow My Holy Spirit to fill the place in your heart where it was. If you continue to put your trust in Me I will heal you and your husband and bring about miracles in your lives and in those of your families. Keep upholding your families to Me so that I may bless them. Keep leaving your concerns with Me so that I may bless you. Keep upholding your husband to Me so that I may heal him. This is all I would speak to you this morning. Go in peace." Tuesday, 3 April 2012 All in His Hands 13

14 "Daughter, know that I am here with you and that I hear your every prayer. Fear not, all is well. I am working in your life in ways you cannot see to bring about the answers to your prayers. All is in My hands. Keep upholding your family members to Me so that I may work in their lives. Now is the time of their salvation! Go in peace, I love you." Wednesday, 11 April 2012 Ask the Father John 16:33 - "... Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you." "Take heart My daughter, all is well. My plan is being played out in this world and in the lives of My children. I have heard your prayers for your family and friends and I will honor your prayers. Remember that I am with you in all that you do. I will not fail you. Go in peace - I love you." Saturday, 14 April 2012 God is in Control "There is nothing for you to fear for I am in control of everything that is to transpire in the world. Remember that My children will be protected at this time and all you need to do is to keep looking to Me for protection and guidance and I will not fail you. Your working days are nearly over, My daughter, but I have work for you to do for My kingdom. I will reveal this to you shortly when the time is right. Keep praying for your husband's healing and for your family and friends' salvation as you have been doing. I will honor your prayers as I have said. Keep close to Me - I love you." Tuesday, 17 April 2012 Stay close to Jesus "You know what is coming on the earth is from Me and that I am in control. My judgment is coming on those who have refused My salvation and have hardened their hearts to My Holy Spirit, but My children will be protected. That is why it is so necessary for you to stay close to Me and listen for My voice and My guidance and leading in every decision you make and every step you take so that you will be kept 14

15 under the shadow of My wing. Daughter, I will let you know ahead of time when something is about to happen so that you can warn those who need warning. Don't take this upon yourself for My timing is important. Just keep listening to My voice as you are doing and I will not fail you or your family. In the meantime, daughter, I want you to experience joy in your life because you know Me and because I live in your heart. Remember, I came to bring abundant life and My joy no-one can take from you." Saturday, 21 April 2012 God's plans, not our plans "Daughter, all is in My hands. Your prayer times will be rewarded. Now is the time of salvation for all you are praying for. I will honor your prayers, My child, so fear not. Don't look ahead too much to when you retire for I have plans for you you know not of and I will reveal these plans to you as the day approaches. Don t plan too much for yourself for My plans are more important and I will ask you to lay aside your plans for My plans. You are to remain in your home. This home I have given you. Remain here. I have a reason for everything that has happened in your life. Don t think that you have taken a wrong turn somewhere, for you have not. As the dawn breaks, be at peace My daughter. All is well - I love you." (about 5:50 am) Friday, April 27, 2012 Pray in Faith Lord, thank you for all you have done for me and for keeping me safe and under the shadow of Your wings. I am so looking forward to meeting you face to face. "My daughter, when you come before Me in prayer you are meeting with Me face to face even though you cannot see Me. I am always eager to hear My children's prayers for I so long to answer your prayers and to give you your heart's desires, but you need to come to Me with your requests believing in your heart that I am well able to grant your requests. Remember that I look for faith in the hearts of My children and then their requests will be answered. Without faith it is impossible to please Me. So many of My children come to Me with 15

16 their requests and petitions but there is no faith in their hearts and I cannot answer their prayers. Seek to increase your faith in My willingness to answer your prayers and My ability to provide for your every need, however small or large. You may think a request is too small to ask Me for, but small things are just as important as large things. The world turns on small events each day. Remember that I am in control no matter what happens in your life and no matter what happens in the world. I am in control, My daughter, so fear not!" Friday, 27 April 2012 Time is Speeding By "Time is speeding by, My daughter, and I am preparing you for what lies ahead. Keep close to Me so that I may impart to you My wisdom and direction at this time. Keep praying for your family and friends as you are doing and keep praying for your husband to be healed. I will honor your prayers. Go now in peace. I love you." Tuesday, May 1, 2012 Believe before Seeing "You must trust Me, daughter. You really must trust Me and you must trust the word I have given you. Don't doubt My word to you. Remember, you must walk by faith and not by sight. There is so much happening behind the scenes that you know not of and you must not wait until it is seen for you to believe what I have been telling you. You must believe without seeing, you must believe now, even though you cannot see evidence for what I am saying to you. My apostles believed and obeyed Me regardless of what they saw in the natural and you must do no less than they. Think also of the prophets of old who spoke My word to an unbelieving generation. They spoke the word they were given by the Holy Spirit, regardless of the consequences because they knew the importance of obedience to My word and the importance of obeying the God of their fathers. This generation wants proof before faith. In My kingdom it is always faith before proof. Remember the importance of this, My daughter." Wednesday, May 9, 2012 All is Well 16

17 "Daughter, you are doing well to arise at this hour of the morning as I am here with you now and I wish to speak with you. Keep saying to yourself 'all is well' for I am looking after you in every area of your life. I have gone before you in your retirement and prepared the path for you. You will rejoice at the plans I have for you and you will know a freedom in your spirit that you have not known before. Now is the time of salvation for many who have heretofore not known Me and you will be My servant to assist in bringing many to Me before the hard times begin on the earth. Make no mistake that they will come on the earth and many will be caught unprepared, but not so you, My daughter, for I have told you things in advance to warn you and to help you understand when these must take place." "Yes, My daughter, there is a time when it is too late for some to come to Me as they have hardened their hearts toward Me. I will lead you to those whose hearts are softening toward Me so that the word you give them will be received into their hearts for salvation." Sunday, 20 May 2012 Jesus Imminent Return My daughter, I want you to tell My people to prepare for My imminent return. Pray for the unsaved while there is still time for them to repent. There is not much time left but there is still time. Prepare yourselves for My imminent return and don't be concerned at what you see and hear around you for I am in control no matter what comes on the earth. My judgment is upon those who have hardened their hearts to Me and who seek to turn others from Me but I will protect those who are Mine. It is important that you stay close to Me and listen to what I am saying to you individually so that you may be protected at this time." Thursday, 24 May 2012 Deception behind the Scenes "Don't be afraid, My daughter. Everything is coming to fruition and I am here with you every step of the way. Don't be concerned about anything that you read in the papers; anything that you see on the television; anything that you see or read on the internet. So much of what you see and hear is false, as much manipulation is being played out behind the scenes to bring deception to many. 17

18 It is important that you stay very close to Me, My daughter, so that I can impart to you My will. I will open your eyes as to the truth of what is going on behind the scenes so that you will not be deceived, My child, and many will listen to the words and insights that I give you. This will be your ministry, to reveal the truth of what is happening in the world so that others may see behind the deception and be saved." Thursday, 31 May 2012 God's Protection "There is far more than you could possibly imagine coming on the earth, My daughter, and that is why it is so imperative that you stay close to Me and listen for My guidance in each situation you find yourself in. I will guide you and protect you each day. Keep upholding your unsaved loved ones to Me as you have been doing and I will honor your prayers, My child. Don't fear what is coming on the earth for I am here and I will not ever let you go. I am here to protect, to save, to guide and to love all My children. All those who are Mine will be protected at this time but you must stay close to Me as I have said." Sunday, 3 June 2012 Cast out Fear and Doubt Is there anything You want to say to me this morning, Lord? "Daughter, I want you to always stay close to Me so that you hear My voice. Know in your heart that I will never leave you or forsake you and that I am always here by your side in whatever you are doing and that I will lead and guide you in every situation. Don't allow doubt to rob you of My peace and joy. Allow yourself to be joyful, My daughter, for no matter what is coming on the earth, I will be here with you and you have no need to fear. Cast fear and doubt from your mind and allow My peace to rule there always." Saturday, June 9, 2012 Coming Retirement This morning is very cold (3 deg C) and I'm up at 6:30 to spend some time with the Lord. "Yes, Daughter, it is a cold morning but My Holy Spirit will warm your heart. 18

19 You are nearing the end of your working life and I will speak to you more about what I would like you to do in your retirement. Firstly, spend more time seeking My presence and spending time with Me. Allow Me to lead you into greener pastures in your day to day living. There are many things you could be involved in and it is important that you listen for My guidance so that you don't spend your time unnecessarily in view of what is coming on the earth shortly. I want you to be prepared in your spirit so that you are not unduly overcome with anxiety, My daughter. I am bestowing on you giftings that will help you and others in these last days. There is more to come for you than you can possibly imagine, My child. Just stay close to Me as you are doing and allow My gifts to flow into you." Wednesday, 13 June, 2012 I will speak to your spirit at any time "There is no set time for Me to speak to you, My daughter. I will speak to your spirit at any time. I know you are discouraged. Don't be discouraged, My child. There is so much ahead for you that will bring joy. Don't dwell on the negatives and on what is coming on the earth for I will provide for you and protect you. Fear not. I will protect all those you have been holding up to Me in prayer also. I think this is your main concern, that your loved ones may be left behind. This will not happen. I have promised to save you and your household and I will honor your prayers for your loved ones and your friends. Keep praying and lifting up your loved ones to Me as you have been doing. You don't need to do more than this. Don't be anxious but relax in My promises to you and seek Me in your heart often during the day. This is all I would say to you this morning. Go in My peace and in My love." Friday, 15 June, 2012 Jesus has Overcome "Fear not, for I have overcome the world. As I have overcome, you shall also overcome. There is to be no fear in My children for you belong to Me and I have promised to provide your every need and to guide you and to protect you. So, where is the room for fear? Fear is of the enemy, fight it at all costs. Don't allow it to remain within you for one second. Cast it out and allow My Holy Spirit to fill your heart with My peace and My love." 19

20 Sunday, June 17, 2012 Freedom in the Spirit The Lord has been speaking to me about how much freedom in the spirit I will experience when I retire in two weeks' time. I have been working since I was 15 years old, apart from a number of years off while raising my children. I will soon be free to decide what I want to do with my days without the thought of having to go to work. Mind you, I have enjoyed the 35 minute trip to work three days a week for close to three years, driving past green fields and cows, not to mention the company of my co-workers. It was a good move to drop down from five days to three, easing into retirement. Having a boss who took his staff out to lunch every Friday was an added bonus and one I hadn't experienced in any previous job, so the past three years have been quite enjoyable. However, the time has come for me to hang up my conveyancing skills. Having to work to earn a living for so many years left me with little free time to pursue hobbies and other interests. Retirement will mean having more time to not only pursue hobbies, but also to spend more time with family and friends and, most importantly, having time to spend with the Lord during the day, instead of spending small amounts of time at the end of each day or in the early hours of the morning. This is part of what the Lord said to me yesterday morning: "Everything is going to change after you retire, My daughter. Everything will be different, for then you will be free to do My work without hindrances... You are going to enjoy this time, My daughter. You will know a freedom in your spirit you have not known before. Now, My daughter, you have come to the place or time in your life when you must rely on Me alone for your every need and I promise you I will not fail you in My provision for you." Tuesday, June 19, 2012 Heed My Warnings Reading back over my blog I am aware that the Lord continually implores me to stay close to Him. This is the main task He is asking of me and has been asking for some time. Today's is in a similar vein: "My daughter, there are many who will not heed My warnings and they will be caught unprepared, but not so you, My daughter, for I am telling you ahead of time to prepare for My imminent return. Keep your heart pure before Me, My daughter, and keep 20

21 yourself close to Me - as close as you possibly can - so that I may impart to you My will for you personally and My direction and guidance in each situation in which you find yourself. It is so important for you to stay close to Me as this is the only way I can protect you and guide you, My daughter. If I give someone else direction and guidance through words of knowledge or dreams or visions, this may not apply personally to you. This is why I ask you to stay close to Me so that I may impart to you My will for each situation you are in. This is all I ask of you at this time, My daughter." Saturday, June 23, 2012 End Time Preparation - Pray I was asking the Lord if we are to store provisions in preparation for the end times and this was His answer to me: "All I want you to do is prepare your heart for My soon return. I have not asked you to store up food for the end times, all I have asked you to do is prepare your heart and to keep praying for your family and unsaved loved ones and those I place on your heart to pray for. Yes, there is much coming on the earth that will cause many to fear, but for My children they should not fear for I have promised to guide and protect you no matter what happens. It is imperative that you stay as close to Me as possible and that you seek Me with all your heart so that I may lead and guide you as needed in whatever comes. Remember My child, all is in My hands. What is coming is no surprise to Me for I see all from beginning to end. Therefore, be found in Me and you will be safe. There is so much more for Me to tell you but that will come later. Finish your work and when you have retired I will spend more time with you imparting to you My will for you at this time. In the meantime, stay close to Me and remember that I love you always... even to the end of the age!" Tuesday, July 3, 2012 My Plans Will Succeed "Daughter, there are evil people making evil plans for this world who hold no regard for mankind and My creation. They only hold regard for their own evil plans. You must 21

22 not fear these people for their end is certain. My plans will succeed, not the enemy's plans. As I have been saying to you, My daughter, keep close to Me and allow Me to speak My words into your spirit so that you may be comforted by My love and protected by My guidance in these difficult days." Tuesday, July 10, 2012 God's Provision and Deliverance Thursday, 5 July 2012 "I will deliver you from all attacks of the enemy." Wednesday, 4 July 2012 "Daughter, you are My child, you are in My Kingdom already. No-one can snatch you out of My hand. All My provision is available to you so don't fear that you will go without in any way even though you are now not working. I have promised to provide for your every need, and I shall. You will be surprised at the ways I will provide for you and for your husband. I have so much in store for you both so look ahead with joy and anticipation. I will cause events to come about in your lives that will bring your heart's desires. Eagerly await what is ahead, My child, for there is much joy coming into your life." Tuesday, 10 July 2012 Leave all in God's Hands "My daughter, if you leave your plans with Me I will look after your every need. I have your best interests at heart, My daughter. I know your every need and if you look to Me to supply your needs and not try to provide for your needs yourself, you will be surprised at what comes your way, My child. There is so much coming on the earth soon, My daughter, that it is imperative that you stay close to Me and listen for My leading in every situation. I am leading you in a specific path that will allow your gifts to be used for My people and you will know more fulfilment in your life than you have known before. Learn to let go of things that have been niggling you and leave them in My hands. Let go of any frustration in your spirit. I know you have forgiven those in your past who have hurt you, My daughter, but you must also allow My healing to come into your spirit and into your heart and emotions from events in your past. I want you to be totally free of all encumbrances as you move forward in Me. 22

23 Don't worry about anything, My daughter, just leave all in My hands and know that I am looking after you and your family. Keep close to Me. I love you." Thursday, July 12, 2012 God's Angels of Protection "Everything is going according to My plan, My daughter. Fear not - all is in My hands. Yes, there is so much more ahead for you than you can possibly imagine. I will give you strength and wisdom when the bad things come and I will cover you with My wings of protection. In the meantime, keep these times with Me so that I may impart to you My will and My life for you. Daughter, there are so many angels being deployed to the earth in readiness for what is coming who will do My bidding to serve and protect you and all My chosen ones at this time. Fear not. "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." Remember from the scriptures who wins the battle!" Monday, 16 July 2012 You Cannot Serve God and Riches The Lord spoke to me today about not putting my trust in money and He highlighted where I was falling down in this command. "Daughter, don't put your trust in money, remember you cannot have two masters, you cannot serve both money and Me. You must choose. Today you have become over concerned about your financial situation when this is not My will for you. You must look only to Me, My daughter, for all your needs including your monetary needs. Which account your money is in and the interest it earns is immaterial, My daughter. There will come a time in the not too distant future when money will lose its value and I don't want you to be overwhelmed and fearful when this happens. I want you to let it go and not grieve for its loss as I am to be your only security. You have placed too much security in your financial situation. This has given you a feeling of security knowing that you had a certain amount of money in the bank that you could draw on when needed. Instead, see Me as being your bank account. All the resources you require are held by Me and all you need do is to ask Me for them and I will release to you what you need." Thursday, 19 July

24 God is our Refuge "There is nothing for you to fear, My daughter, as you approach the end of days referred to in the Bible. I know all from beginning to end and I am looking after my children. There is so much ahead for you and for all those who put their trust in Me and you will rejoice at the plans I have for you, My daughter. Keep praying for all those who don't yet know Me so that more may be brought into My kingdom before it is too late. Don't dwell on the bad things you have read about and I have told you about. Keep your focus on Me alone so that I may impart to you the strength and love you need for these times." Saturday, July 28, 2012 Our Refuge and Strong Tower "There is more coming than you could possibly imagine, My daughter, but you must not fear or be over-concerned ahead of time for I will walk with you every day, each step of the way, and I will be your refuge and strong tower during the bad times. Keep close to Me and keep in tune with My Spirit. Abide in Me each moment of the day and you will be safe under the shadow of My wings." Tuesday, July 31, 2012 The Alpha and Omega I am the Alpha and the Omega - I know the end from the beginning. For this reason I say to you not to fear what is soon to come, for no future event is outside of my knowledge and control. This is why it is imperative that you stay as close to Me as possible so that I may impart to you My will and direction for these end times in which you live. I will guide you each day. Your part is to obey what I say to you. Keep close to Me, My daughter, so that I may impart to you what I desire you to do and how I desire you to live in these times. Things will be so different soon and you may feel out of your comfort zone. But remember that if you abide in Me, you will always know My comfort. Whatever you see and hear around you must not become the primary focus, but what you hear and feel within you from My Spirit. My Holy Spirit will guide you and comfort you and you will surely be protected. Tell My people that if they stay close to Me I am able to protect them during these times. How you respond to Me is vitally important, My daughter. If you obey what I am 24

25 saying to you, you will be safe. If you do not obey what I am saying to you I may not be able to keep you safe. It is My desire to keep all My children safe and out of harm's way so it is imperative that they stay close to Me and listen to what I am saying to each one personally. Tell My people that I will come to each one personally. I will give each person directions and guidance at the right time. I am already telling some of My children to move from where they are living to a place designated by Me. Those I have told know that I have spoken to them. I just want My people to stay close to Me in prayer, in worship, in reading My word so that they are close to me all the time and in that way there is always a flow of communication between Me and My children. That way I can guide them safely through these perilous times." Monday, August 13, 2012 Evangelism - The Lord's Way The Lord has been speaking to me lately about evangelism and this is what He said: "There is so much coming on the earth shortly and so many people will be unprepared but My children will not be unprepared, for I am speaking to each one individually and imparting to each one individually My plans for them in this hour. My children will draw many more to Me in these dark times, for My light shines in My children and this light will draw those to Me who don't yet know Me and who desire to know Me. Others will run from My light, for their hearts have been hardened and they don't want to know Me. But for those who do want to know Me, the light within My blessed children will guide them to Me. You don't have to go out and preach, for My light in you will draw the people I want to Me through you. I will bring to you those to whom I want you to speak My word. Don't feel it is your duty to speak to anyone I have not drawn to you. This is how it will be with all My children in these days - I will draw to them those who want to know Me. If I have not drawn to you a particular person it is because I have other plans for them. I want you to speak to My children about evangelism. I will place in the hearts of each of My children a desire to draw others to Me. Then I will draw those to them who want to know Me in their hearts. There is no point in preaching My word to those whose hearts are hardened to Me. Leave it up to Me to draw to you those to whom I want you to speak My word. I know in advance who will accept My word and who will not. For some it is already too late, for they have chosen to reject Me, but there are many who know Me not but in their hearts want to know Me. Those are the ones I will draw to My children. They will see My light within My children and this will draw them." Wednesday, August 22,
