I want to thank you all for your love, encouragement, support and prayers. This year we have all been learning how to be the Lord’s Prayer Partners. One of the ways we do that is to focus on Him and obey Him no matter how things look. But another way is that we have learned to join each other in prayer and be sensitive to the Lord as we pray for each other in unity.

 

You have made a difference in the World for the Lord. I thank you because I needed your prayers. Oh did I need your prayers. And with your prayers ‘we’ accomplished what the Lord wanted done in the earth this year.

 

But now it’s time to look forward to what the Lord is saying about 2005. It is important we start the year with fresh directives from the Lord.

 

 

Go when I say go and don’t ask because I’m about to send you to hurting people, leaders and congregations. You will nurture them with My heart. Hurting people hurt people so don’t allow yourself to be hurt by them. But when they dish out hurt just love them and they will see it and receive their healing and know that I have sent you, when My glory and love manifests to destroy the works of the enemy in you and through you.

 

 

“What time is it?” The Lord asked. “Give Me the clock and you will always be on time in My timing. It’s midnight; time to get up and trim your lamps and pour in the oil. Light the lamps and follow Me. Don’t look back at those who are not ready only follow Me.”

 

I have a path for you that others will not see, only follow Me. It’s time, to trim the flesh away from the wick of your heart that burns so it won’t cause soot to block your vision and your light. It’s time to follow Me. The way is long, the road is steep, fill your lamp and take extra oil.

 

I will carry you if you follow Me. When the road looks impassible you will see My hand there to hold you and lift you over all the obstacles, for there are many. Keep extra matches wrapped and dry to light the lamp for it is nighttime now. You must be blind to what is around you and only see what the lamp I gave you lights. Don’t listen the sounds of the night but wrap the cloak around you and come to Me. I am calling you. Follow Me.

 

Don’t look back at those who will not follow because they’re sleeping or afraid or lack oil, they are moved by the night and not moved by the light. Just press on ahead. Though the way is hard, and it will be, it is the only true way.

 

Things that you cannot see don’t really exist unless you focus on them and draw them into your light. Your light is holy for it is Mine. Guard it like a gateway from thieves and robbers. I am calling you, focus on Me, for it is time to run with the horses.

 

If you could do it yourself it would be done. But I have called you to follow Me because I’ve cleared a path with My feet. Walk in My footsteps. As you see each footstep step into it. Never step until you see the next place I’ve set My feet, for I am calling but there are many things to distract and distort.

 

Focus all you are on Me until the fire and oil fill you and you become a flame of fire shining the way to Me, where others can see Me. It’s not for you to give them oil but to shine the way to Me. I am the Merchant of the oil but it will cost them the price of flesh and soul. It will cost them their will and their desires. All of these will burn in the fire. Some will receive it and some will make excuses. What is that to you, follow Me. Then they will see clearly to make their own choice because of you.

 

You thought I led you on a straight path but see we wander collecting the wounded and strays, that they too may follow Me. And when I sit, then come sit with Me. I shouldn’t need to ask you. Let your hunger draw you to My lap and rest and abide in Me.

 

That’s how you are restored and how you change until one day you will no longer seek My footsteps to walk where I walk because you will always be ‘in’ Me. So the walk is not just a rescue mission or a journey but to training to be.

 

Amen.

 

 

I could say many things about this word and give many scriptures but the Lord said to leave it as it is and not explain it. So pray as you read it that the Lord will speak to your heart just what He is saying to you in it.

 

I have had several revelation teachings that I want to share but this time the word He gave needs to stand-alone. Press in past the veil your Lord is calling for you. It’s a year of pressing in and the pressing in brings great change.

 

With Love and Prayer that your New Year will be most blessed.
