“Zechariah and the Flask of Oil Filling the Lampstands with More”

 “Zechariah and the Flask of Oil Filling the Lampstands with More”

(Image found on Bing Images. Credit is given to the Owner.)

On 09-05-25, during our corporate prayer watch, several people had gathered to pray. I saw in the vision, the prophet Zechariah walk into the church, and he had a big flask of oil in his hand. I saw him walk over to a lampstand in the vision and pour it into the top of the pipes in the lampstand. As he did this, I watched the lampstand grew and expanded to give off even more light. I also knew that this also meant that the expanded lampstand would not run out of the oil of God’s Presence in the harder seasons ahead of us.

The Holy Spirit is bringing the increase within the people of God and in the Places of Prayer that He has birthed so that their lights would brighten even more in their areas. I saw the many small lights (believers) and the remnant prayer groups everywhere, become very bright, and then the Holy Spirit breathed through them all and fanned them into a great corporate flame.

The people of continued prayer, and the faithful Houses of Prayer would bring forth the greatest prayer awakening that our generation has known. The Spirit of Holiness would be the flame that would transform entire regions and peoples with His Abiding Presence.

Excerpt from Bob Jones Prophecy from the 1998 Shepherd’s Rod:

THE EXTINGUISHING OF LIGHTS

Presently in the church there are many “lights” of the Spirit at work in a variety of different fashions in a diversity of circles within the church. All of these have been good and have served the purposes of the Lord. However, He is now saying that He is going to extinguish these little lights in order for a concentrated light to come forth that will shine much more brilliantly. One light with a consolidated source will shine much more brightly than that same amount of light divided into many numerous smaller lights. This will unveil the desire of the Lord for His emphasis to be placed upon the issues of paramount importance to Him.

The Lord is going to turn off the lights to the things that are not vital in order to fuel and power that which is vital. The good must make way for the best. Many “good” works that are presently in place will be discontinued to make way for the “best” purposes that the Spirit has for us in this generation. The anointing placed upon the good works will be lifted and an emphasis of the anointing placed upon the highest purposes that the Spirit has for the church.

The Lord is going to release great understanding to those willing to sit with Him in intimate relationship and learn from Him. The Lord is calling us aside even as he did His disciples to reveal to us His heart and His mind on how He would do things if He were living in the earth during this generation in human form. In essence, there will be a removal of the leaven in order to produce a more purified leadership accomplishing far more with less effort.

Having many divided works has not allowed the church to see the overall corporate vision that the Lord has for the end-time ministry. The Lord is promising that He will no longer leave His friends in the dark as to what He is doing. He will give them a “blow by blow” account of what He is doing. He will reveal what His priorities are, and the sequence in which these events shall take place.

Scriptures:

Zechariah 4:1 And the angel who talked with me came again and awakened me, like a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And said to me, What do you see? I said, I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl [for oil] on the top of it and its seven lamps on it, and [there are] seven pipes to each of the seven lamps which are upon the top of it. 3 And there are two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl and the other upon the left side of it [feeding it continuously with oil]. 4 So I asked the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord. 6 Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts. 7 For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who with Joshua had led the return of the exiles from Babylon and was undertaking the rebuilding of the temple, before him] you shall become a plain [a mere molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone [of the new temple] with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it! 8 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundations of this house; his hands shall also finish it. Then you shall know (recognize and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me [His messenger] to you. 10 Who [with reason] despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. [These seven] are the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro throughout the whole earth. 11 Then I said to him [the angel who talked with me], What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it? 12 And a second time I said to him, What are these two olive branches which are beside the two golden tubes or spouts by which the golden oil is emptied out? 13 And he answered me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord. 14 Then said he, These are the two sons of oil [Joshua the high priest and Zerubbabel the prince of Judah, the two anointed ones] who stand before the Lord of the whole earth [as His anointed instruments].

Revelations 2:1 To the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him Who holds the seven stars [which are the messengers of the seven churches] in His right hand, Who goes about among the seven golden lampstands [which are the seven churches]:

Ephesians 6:18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).

Luke 12:35 Keep your loins girded and your lamps burning, 36 And be like men who are waiting for their master to return home from the marriage feast, so that when he returns from the wedding and comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are those servants whom the master finds awake and alert and watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will gird himself and have them recline at table and will come and serve them!

Psalms 23:4 Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over. 6 Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always); 17 Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]; 18 Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]. 19 Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit;

Romans 1:3 [The Gospel] regarding His Son, Who as to the flesh (His human nature) was descended from David, 4 And [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly designated the Son of God in power [in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner] by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 5 It is through Him that we have received grace (God’s unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name’s sake among all the nations,

“A Time of Counsel with Jesus in the Fields of Wheat – 11-14-25”

 “A Time of Counsel with Jesus in the Fields of Wheat – 11-14-25”

(Image found on Bing Images. Credit is given to the Owner.)

The Lord has taken me twice this week to be with Him in the golden fields of wheat. I said, “Do you have a message for us about these fields, Lord?” He smiled as He waved His hands gently upon the wheat heads. He said, “Yes. There are many distractions at work all around you seeking to keep all of you occupied with the current affairs of this world, so that many of you will not be positioned correctly for the purposes that I have called you to. When you get out of position, then you cannot fully accomplish your commission. It is important that My people stay close to Me at this time. The enemy knows the hour is late and he will seek to divert the harvesters before they can fully bring it all in. The time of the Fullness is at hand.”

“Keep a watch over yourselves. Guard your hearts and your minds. Guard your attention and keep watch over your desires. The enemy wants to distract My people from their purposes and from the things that I have put within their hearts to accomplish for Me. Do not allow the affairs of this world to divert your attention, or to take hold on your thoughts and emotions. You are to take no burdens upon you that I have not given to you. Your main purpose in this life is to know Me and to walk with Me, and daily to do My will. All of your fruitfulness in Me stems forth from those things. I am moving all around you. The enemy’s distractions will intensify the closer that you get to Me and to your purpose.”

Jesus waved His hands lovingly over the wheat again. He smiled at me again and said, “Everything that I did and that I spoke when I came to the earth was both intentional and in full submission to My Father. Every distraction that came to Me from men and from the enemy was intent on steering Me away from My purpose. I purposefully set My will to do My Father’s will each day. I spent time with Him and received My daily guidance and support from Him. He is My Father just as He is yours. You all must do the same. He was My comfort and My strength through all that I went through in My time there. Your will is also part of your rod, use it wisely. When you feel weak or disturbed, then quiet yourself and refocus upon Me. I am always with you just as My Father is with you. You are not alone. You have all you need to fully succeed.”

‘I will give you a harvest key to share with My people. Expectation provides the fertile ground in which your faith can grow. If you have no expectation for a harvest, then you will not put in the effort needed to fulfill your part. The quality of the field you grow will reflect the manner of attention that you give to it. You must cultivate your expectation with Me every day or your inner fire will wane, and your obedience will also. You will begin to wander and drift from Me in your heart and minds. If you never expect Me to do anything in your life, then I will never have room within you to accomplish anything. Make room for Me in your day and in your life so that I can bring the adjustments that you need. The fruit that you produce or the field of crops that will come from your life, will also mirror your desire to do My will. The more that you are determined to grow in your relationship with Me, the more fruitful you will become. Guard your heart and mind, and also your individual field with all diligence.”

“I am speaking this message and this warning from this field because I want to make it clear that the time of Maturity has come. Both the world’s wheat and the tares are fully ripe, and they are fully white for harvest. Yet the attention of the world is upon their own desires and on the affairs of their own surroundings and of their nations. There is a greater work to be done. The enemy knows that if he can keep you distracted on the past, and on the current present, then He can keep you from being positioned in the future which is opening up before you all. You will not be ready. The world is rapidly changing. Few are prepared for what’s ahead. Many will abandon their commissions in My fields as the pressures increase, if they are not diligent to press further into Me. You are each called to the greater harvest of the ages. Who will stand faithfully within the field that I have placed around them? Don’t ignore where I have put you right now. Be faithful there, and I will add to your field, and expand it as you go. I am looking at My Fieldmaster’s to watch over My fields.”

“My Harvest Wave is already moving through the earth. The ripples and the wakes of My Movements are currently being felt, and the darkness in this world is in full upheaval because of it. Do not be distracted by the clamors in this world, for they will only lead you into fear and turmoil of heart and mind. Know that I am at work in the earth among all of you. You cannot yet see what I am doing clearly, but you can trust in Me as I have previously told you that I am shaking everything. I will surely guide you all through this period of time. The signs of My ripples and wakes are everywhere. You can see them moving in the heavens, in the chaotic weather that is weaving its way in dismay. You can see Me in the passing of what you perceive as time, and in the land masses as they do tremble and some break. My Wave is moving everywhere in the root systems of men. Let not your hearts be troubled, nor fear the future that has already been written for all of you.”

“Launch out further into the depths of My Spirit and I will carry you along in My Purposes for you. The times of My Buoyancy have come. You must be flexible and resilient to weather the changes in the rising tides of My Wave. Look at Me in Joy, knowing that I am moving everything as they should be within your lives. Move in full surrender to Me daily. Let Me carry you along by My Spirit to where I want to take all of you. Listen for My Voice in the rising winds of humanity, for the deeper My Wave moves across the lands, the more the enemy will rise up against Me and will roar. Do not think the end has come, for it has not. This is My time, and I will draw multitudes into My embrace. Look with expectancy and know that the best the Father has for you is already planned for. Be expectant even more, as My harvest wave crashes across every shore, for that is what I have called each of you for.”

Scriptures:

1 Corinthians 9:10 Or does He speak certainly and entirely for our sakes? [Assuredly] it is written for our sakes, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher ought to thresh in expectation of partaking of the harvest.

John 4:34 Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His work. 35 Do you not say, It is still four months until harvest time comes? Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields and see how they are already white for harvesting. 36 Already the reaper is getting his wages [he who does the cutting now has his reward], for he is gathering fruit (crop) unto life eternal, so that he who does the planting and he who does the reaping may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying holds true, One sows and another reaps. 38 I sent you to reap a crop for which you have not toiled. Other men have labored and you have stepped in to reap the results of their work.

Mark 4:18 And the ones sown among the thorns are others who hear the Word; 19 Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless. 20 And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive and accept and welcome it and bear fruit—some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some [even] a hundred times as much.

Romans 8:18 [But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and [a]for us and conferred on us! 19 For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. 20 For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it—[yet] with the hope.

The wakes and ripples of the Fathers wave are already at work all around us. Rise up and become buoyant in your trust in Him, and He will carry you in all that He is currently doing, and in all that He will fully do in our times. This is your time! Arise, and shine right where you are! The rest will unfold around you, right on time!

“Stay on Track” 11-07-25

Word of the Lord 11-07-25

“Stay on Track” 

Get the fiery prayer back 

Gather and pray more 

Press in more than before

He wants to do even more

Lay the tracks out in prayer

For He will come in with a roar

It will cause a great uproar, but

Many will be healed and restored

 

Because of the mercy of your Lord

Cut off the hate and discord with your swords

Stand in your armor and declare His word

Watch faithfully in the storm of man’s words

Holy Fire shall devour and roar 

Among those whose eyes are on their Lord

And through those unified in one accord

So shall it be for those who obey

 Stand upon the Tracks of the Holy Way, night and day!

“The Spinning Compass and Wisdoms Path” 10-30-25

 “The Spinning Compass and Wisdoms Path” 10-30-25

(Image found on Bing Images. Credit is given to the Owner.)

I saw a spinning compass early this morning in the vision. Its needle was wildly turning this way and that. I asked, “Lord what are you showing me?” I felt led to quickly get up and to write:

He said, “Men have lost their ability to make decisions based upon wisdom. They turn this way and that. They cannot measure the truth anymore. Everything they do in this condition will be doomed to failure and to eventual ruin. Their hearts and minds are unstable and anything that is not within their view, they will mock and attack. This is why their affairs will continue to tumble and their systems will surely crumble. I call unto men but few listen, nor will they even turn towards Me. This is folly to ignore Me. It is wisdom to return to Me.”

“Do not be distracted by the tumults that shall increase, that I told you would come. I have also made a way of escape for those who will turn and seek Me in this season. A way has been laid out that is right and is stable for those who will listen to walk upon. It is wisdom to inquire and to seek My path. It is time to turn aside and to sit with Me for there is much wisdom waiting for those who do. Do not look around you in dread. Wisdom has baked her bread, and it awaits those who are willing to be fed.”

“The pillars of the earth belong to Me, but I have also told you that I will shake them, as I awaken this generation to My reality. Nothing escapes My gaze, nor escapes My ears. Men will reap what they do sow. Nothing will go the way that men think. My Word has always been true, and those who walk fully in it will be made new, by the things that I will yet do. You shall not fear, for I am here. You shall walk up and down within My name in the midst of it all.”

Scriptures:

Compass – Sense of Direction:

Genesis 6:11 The earth was depraved and putrid in God's sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power). 12 And God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction.

James 1:8 [For being as he is] a man of two minds (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), [he is] unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything [he thinks, feels, decides].

Wisdom or Folly:

Proverbs 15:21 Folly is pleasure to him who is without heart and sense, but a man of understanding walks uprightly [making straight his course]. [Eph. 5:15.]

Proverbs 15:22 Where there is no counsel, purposes are frustrated, but with many counselors they are accomplished.

The Pillars of the Earth:

1 Samuel 2:8 He raises up the poor out of the dust and lifts up the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with nobles and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and He has set the world upon them. 9 He will guard the feet of His godly ones, but the wicked shall be silenced and perish in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; against them will He thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge [all peoples] to the ends of the earth; and He will give strength to His king (King) and exalt the power of His anointed (Anointed His Christ). [Luke 1:46.]

Job 9:6 Who shakes the earth out of its place, and the pillars of it tremble;

Psalms 75:2 When the proper time has come [for executing My judgments], I will judge uprightly [says the Lord]. 3 When the earth totters, and all the inhabitants of it, it is I Who will poise and keep steady its pillars. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

A Way of Escape:

1 Corinthians 10:12 Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands [who feels sure that he has a steadfast mind and is standing firm], take heed lest he fall [into sin]. 13 For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.

Wisdom calls to men:

Proverbs 8:1 DOES NOT skillful and godly Wisdom cry out, and understanding raise her voice [in contrast to the loose woman]? 2 On the top of the heights beside the way, where the paths meet, stands Wisdom [skillful and godly]; 3 At the gates at the entrance of the town, at the coming in at the doors, she cries out: 4 To you, O men, I call, and my voice is directed to the sons of men. 5 O you simple and thoughtless ones, understand prudence; you [self-confident] fools, be of an understanding heart. [Isa. 32:6.]

Walk up and down in His Name:

Zechariah 10:12 And I will strengthen [Israel] in the Lord, and they shall walk up and down and glory in His name, says the Lord.

"Receive My Breath" - 10-26-25

 “Receive My Breath” 10-26-25

(Image found on Bing Images. Credit is given to the Owner.)

As I was waiting on the Lord tonight, I felt the gentleness of the Spirit come over Me. He said, “Receive My Breath Sue. My Breath will refresh you. Still you. Strengthen you. Restore you. Empower you. I am all you need in this life.”

“Tell My People, Sue. Keep breathing Me in, within. Focus your whole being on Me. Listen for My Winds blowing within you and all around you. I am at work. Trust Me completely no matter what you hear or see. Be perfectly still in Me, and you will surely see Me at work everywhere.”

Scripture for today:

John 20:21 Then Jesus said to them again, Peace to you! [Just] as the Father has sent Me forth, so I am sending you. 22 And having said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit!

“Transcript of the Beachheads Prophecy given during the service on 10-24-25”

“Transcript of the Beachheads Prophecy given during the service on 10-24-25”

(Image found on Bing Images. Credit is given to the Owner.)

Susan:

God is seeking out believers who will surrender their lives to Him and be obedient to what He wants to begin. But many are too busy throughout our days. We are too distracted. We have all these things pulling on us.

The Lord speaks:

“Where are those that will join with Me in prayer and birth it everywhere? That will bear My care. That will bear My heart. That will bear My burdens that I want to start. Where are those burden-bearers of My heart? Where are those that will stand in the midst of the battle with Me? That will stand between death and life. That will stand between the lines of the enemy, and the lines of heaven. That will stand in the gap and remove the leaven. Where are those that will release the burdens of heaven?”

“These are the ones I am calling in this hour. These are the ones that are going to build My prayer towers. These are the ones that will release the lighthouses to shine. These are the ones that will build My Rocks everywhere. I am looking for My militant prayer. I am looking for those that will give up their life and take on Mine. You are the ones that will release the new wine.”

The Cruise Ship Church and the War Ship Church:

I had a vision years ago. We were walking through a ballroom of a cruise ship. There were many believers in the church that were sitting around the tables they were enjoying the cruise. I then saw a portal of fire open up against a wall of the ballroom. There were living prophetic scenes on the wall. It was an invitation to all. I knew that we must leave the ballroom of the cruise ship the church was stuck in and to step through into the things that would begin. I knew many of the believers in the ballroom. I walked right through the ballroom and stepped into the fiery portal. Sadly, No one else got up to enter in.

We can no longer afford to be a cruise ship. The church is meant to be a war ship. A battleship. It’s Leadership. To keep nations from sinking, and people from shipwrecking in their faith. God is calling a new breed of leadership to stand up and to begin to move into the next phase of what God wants to do. The church is going to sink if she stays on the cruise ship. But if she will get up and obey God and get the junk out, she will be a war ship in prayer and establish God’s beachheads everywhere.

The Prophetic Minute to respond to the Lord:

“You have a minute to get ready. To build yourself upon My Rock and be steady. It is not a time to be heady. It is a time to get ready. You have a minute of time, to redeem the time. To establish yourself in My time, on time with My design. You have a minute! Do you understand the lateness of the hour? Do you understand, I am calling you back to your command! It’s by faith in Me you will stand! You cannot go your own way. Things are not going to play out the way you think. The way you have been taught. The church is deceived and is not listening to Me!”

“Return to Me, says the Lord! Return to Me! You are in the minute- the strategic moment- when I will shift things if you will obey Me. I will shift you suddenly! Suddenly, I will make everything straighten out for you. Suddenly, I will break you through. Suddenly, I will make things new. Suddenly, I will speak to you. Suddenly you will see Me as I Am. If you will turn to Me, I will change everything and bring it into alignment for your assignment. I will put things right, but hear Me tonight, it is time to return to Me and obey Me in everything.”

“For you do not know the things ahead. I do, but I have already laid out provision for you. Trust in Me in this hour and know that you are My Towers. You are My Pillars. My Lighthouses and My Fortifications. I will not abandon you; I am actually going to fill you! I am going to flood you. I am going to release My Glory through you. But do not go your own way, it’s not going to work out the way you think. But it’s going to be My Hand in it all. Trust Me and surrender to your call.”

Susan finishes:

Get ready for the Fear of the Lord. The Lord is serious. He is going to fill His House with Glory. He is going to fill His Houses of Prayer everywhere. Houses of Worship. Wherever the Remnant gather. Wherever people that are sincere, come before Him. He will be there! It’s time to focus. Put Him first. Prioritize your life. There’s only a minute in the Spirit. What it means is, we have to quickly organize. Get those spiritual beachheads up, while we have time, so that we can prevail. So that God’s purposes for our generation won’t fail.

Scriptures:

Zechariah 1:2 The Lord was very angry with your fathers. 3 Therefore say to them [the Jews of this day], Thus says the Lord of hosts: 3 Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you; it is the utterance of the Lord of hosts.4 Be not as your fathers to whom the former prophets cried, Thus says the Lord of hosts: Return now from your evil ways and your evil doings; but they would not hear or listen to Me, says the Lord. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever? 6 But My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake and take hold of your fathers? So, they repented and said, As the Lord of hosts planned and purposed to do to us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so has He dealt with us.

1 Timothy 1:19 Holding fast to faith (that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence) and having a good (clear) conscience. By rejecting and thrusting from them [their conscience], some individuals have made shipwreck of their faith.

Luke 18:1 Also [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to [a]turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up).

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] 28 You heard Me tell you, I am going away and I am coming [back] to you. If you [really] loved Me, you would have been glad, because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater and mightier than I am. 29 And now I have told you [this] before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may believe and have faith in and rely on Me.

Saints, Its time to build up the beachheads and to get focused. 

It’s time to stand firm in your faith and in His Faithfulness! He is with you! He will guide you!

Romans 1:17 For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. [Hab. 2:4.]

Habakkuk 2:4 Look at the proud; his soul is not straight or right within him, but the [rigidly] just and the [uncompromisingly] righteous man shall live by his faith and in his faithfulness. [Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11.]

Do not be fearful or shaken! 

Be the light for others so they can see!

“Cultivate your Garden of Intimacy with Me Diligently” 10-22-25

 “Cultivate your Garden of Intimacy with Me Diligently” 10-22-25

I woke up and got my coffee and sat down in my chair to wait a few moments on the Lord. Immediately, I saw that I was in a garden. It was beautiful with all kinds of plants and flowers and trees and luscious fragrances. I was smelling the flowers and smiling as I walked around. I then felt the Lord next to Me watching me enjoying the garden.

He said, “This is what I want Sue. I want My people to delight themselves in Me continually. You each can taste Me, touch Me, smell Me and feel Me, see Me, hear Me, and know Me intimately anytime you desire to. That is why I died for all of you. I desire that you all would spend time with Me throughout your day. Turn your attention and your thoughts towards Me often, for I am always with you. Distractions and worldly demands will draw your inner life away, if you do not intentionally cultivate your garden with devoted focus.”

“The things that you focus on the most in this life will become the most precious to you, and if you allow it to replace Me, you will wander and you will slowly lose your way from the path set before you. It is My desire that you cultivate your garden of intimacy with Me diligently. This is not a time to wander, but to fully return to Me. If you do not take care of the garden within your heart, then other things will begin to crowd into it, and this will cause your thoughts to become confused and in turmoil and disarray throughout your day. Your heart is the garden where I walk and dwell with each of you. It is wisdom for you all to guard it with all diligence and with great care.”

“Your heart is your reservoir. What you allow to enter within it will be what flows through it. You hear My voice from within you, but if you have unnecessary cares of this life, the pressures, demands and weights, from other things will crowd into our garden, then you will not hear Me clearly. You will also lose sight of Me and your garden will begin to lose its brilliance. Return to Me in all of your ways, even throughout your days. Turn your thoughts back to Me continually. Talk to Me throughout your day. Make time to wait upon Me in silence and listen for My response back to you. Do not carry burdens that I do not give to you. Let go of everything that dims your heart. There is to be no fear in your garden, there is to be only My peace, love, and joy.”

“You and I create the garden together when you spend time with Me. As we enjoy each other’s presence, we also plant the fragrant fruits of My Spirit in your garden. We also plant My Words given to you deep into the soil of your heart, and as we both work together, we will also watch together as My Words grow to maturity into the beautiful plants and trees, and the flowers of My fragrances inside of you. I am the Life that your heart needs. My river flows throughout your heart as you continually yield to Me each day and as you allow Me to work inside of each of you. Strengthen your hearts in Me. Trust My hands as I cultivate you even more. My river is to be flowing throughout your gardens, and I am always working and restoring and beautifying you all from within.”

John 4:13 Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again. 14 But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty anymore. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life. AMPC

Isaiah 58:11 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.

1 Corinthians 3:6 My work was to plant the seed in your hearts, and Apollos’ work was to water it, but it was God, not we, who made the garden grow in your hearts. 7 The person who does the planting or watering isn’t very important, but God is important because he is the one who makes things grow.

See Mark 4:14-20 AMPC

Song 5:1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my [promised] bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my balsam and spice [from your sweet words I have gathered the richest perfumes and spices]. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends [feast on, O revelers of the palace; you can never make my lover disloyal to me]! Drink, yes, drink abundantly of love, O precious one [for now I know you are mine, irrevocably mine! With his confident words still thrilling her heart, through the lattice she saw her shepherd turn away and disappear into the night]. 2 I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake. [I dreamed that I heard] the voice of my beloved as he knocked [at the door of my mother’s cottage]. Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my spotless one [he said], for I am wet with the [heavy] night dew; my hair is covered with it. AMPC

Revelations 3:19 Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline and instruct them]. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and attitude]. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me. AMPC

Revelations 22:1 Then he showed me the river whose waters give life, sparkling like crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 Through the middle of the Broadway of the city; also, on either side of the river was the tree of life with its twelve varieties of fruit, yielding each month its fresh crop; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing and the restoration of the nations.
