Love Works!
There is a
that will enable us to love them when they are doing all they can to injure us. There is a love that will 
whisper, "forgive them, for they know not what they do." will make us thoughtful, gentile,
tender.Beloved ones,
you have been called and chosen for such a time as this! The end-time events are My Work.
I make the rules and place you in your foreordained positions. In the right season, I will lift you up as unfurled banners to go forth in the spirit of Elijah. You will pour forth as sweet water from the throne room and turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. A *“shibboleth” of strength will be yours. I have given you unrestrained power over all the enemy and nothing shall by any means harm you. Let patience have its perfect work: “For love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstance.” (1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT) “But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.” (Habakkuk 2:3 NLT)
*Note: Shibboleth is the Strongs Concordance number 7641 used in the King James Version as ears, ears of corn, branches, channel, floods, Shibboleth, and waterflood
It is an astounding mystery that our God would
us with a we do not deserve, cannot fathom or fully understand. And yet there is in all of us a desire to be loved and it springs from the part of our being that belongs to God - our spirit. One morning as I was sitting in prayer I saw in my mind a glimpse of how great, majestic and powerful God is as I approached Him. I was so overwhelmed with His presence and might that I fell down on my face, trembling in fear. I realized this was only
a glimpse of His real power and glory, for had He showed me anymore I would have died on the spot. I felt like a grain of sand in the ocean, totally insignificant and small among the other billions of grains. Just when I felt I could no longer stand His power filling my mind, I felt a touch on my shoulder and a voice said with a gentleness that overwhelmed me as much as the majesty did, I am your Father, come to Me without fear. Instantly I got up and felt the and gentle presence of the Lord the way I knew Him, my Father. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Psalm 91:2 This experience not only reinforced within me how small I am, but showed me how powerful and almighty my Father is. What can the enemy do to me? It strengthened my faith to stand when trials come and gave me a new understanding to be able to trust Him even when I do not understand when trials come. This is what the Lord would say to you, If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:9 You may be only like a grain of sand, but to the Lord you are His precious child He ordained to belong to Him from the foundation of the world to. Today is the day you need to know this not only in your mind, but in your heart. He you and longs for you to Him. 
Prayer for Today!

Many years later the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned under their slavery and cried out. Their cries for relief from their hard labor ascended to God: God listened to their groanings.God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. God saw what was going on with Israel. God understood. Exodus 2:23-25 The Message
"I know, My Child, the challenges at times seem daunting. You simply want to find some relief. You cry out and if you are honest (and remember I know your thoughts), you would admit that it seems I have turned a deaf ear; it would seem the heavens are brass. I know the disappointments that have come. You prayed for a loved one's healing and they died. You prayed for much needed financial blessing and lost your job. You prayed for that wayward child and they only got worse. You prayed for peace and found dissension and strife. You prayed for companionship and found yourself alone. You cried for justice and there seemed to be none.
Just know, My Beloved, that there is no cry from your wounded spirited that I have not heard. I not only hear but I feel each pain, catch each tear, and stand here ready to heal your heart. How can I not feel what you feel when we are so connected, when you are such a part of Me?
Yes, I hear and feel every heart cry! I AM touched by your infirmities. I AM touched by your pain. I AM the God who loves justice and stands ready to move on your behalf. Not always as you desire: for, I see what you cannot. Not always in your timing; for, I AM working a greater good, not only in you but in so many others simultaneously. But in the fullness of time, you shall see that all things have been working for your good. I make everything beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Israel cried to Me in their affliction. I listened. I remembered My covenant with them. I saw everything that was going on with them. I acknowledged it. I understood and at the right moment in history, I spoke to Moses and said, "It is time now. Deliver My people so they can worship Me."
My people, throughout the ages, cried to Me. Always, I heard. I remembered My covenant, I saw and I understood. And in the fullness of time, at the right moment in history, I spoke to My Son and said, "It's time now. Wrap yourself in flesh, tabernacle among them, give Your life as the propitiation for sin. Deliver them so they can worship Me."
Today, My Beloved, know I AM listening to you. I remember My covenant with you, a covenant sealed by the blood of My Son. I always honor My word; for I AM the covenant-honoring God. I see everything that is going on with you, My Child. I understand even that which you cannot understand now. And in the right moment in history you will step into the greatest freedom you have ever known. All shall see your beauty in its time. I shall send deliverance and you shall worship Me in a new way, with a new song in its time."
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
Come hungering and thirsting for
The body and blood of the Lord
Gather together in His Holy name
For where two or three come together in this way
He is present in their midst. ... (Mt 18:20)
Come, come together, rest awhile
Sit down under the shelter of His shade
In the shadow of the Almighty
Sit down with great delight
The LORD is good, come taste and see ... (Ps 34:
His fruit is sweet to taste and pleasant to the eyes.
Come, come to the table prepared
To the banqueting house be led
He will break the bread, let your soul be fed
He will pour the wine, let your cup be filled.
Without His presence this would be
Mere bread, mere wine, a mere meeting
But in His promises we believe
His command we come together to obey.
He annoints my head with oil
My cup overflows
Love, His banner over me
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
... all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Come, come to the table prepared.
Song 2:3-4
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest
... is my lover among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. He has taken me to the banqueting house, and His banner over me is love.
Psalm 23:5-6
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Psalm 91:1
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
