From Our Father's Heart

Do you really understand the covenant
that My Son and I have made with you and for you?
My covenant with you has little to do
with keeping you healthy, wealthy,
and out of harm's way as some false prophets claim.
My Son did go to the cross.
Paul did spend most of his ministry years in prison.
Countless missionaries of Mine did perish.
You are no different.
Here is My covenant with you in a nutshell.
I promise to give you all of Myself while you live.
I will equip you and fill you with My presence,
so that you testify of My Son.
I have promised to change you, to finish what I have started in you.
I have promised be with you wherever you go,
to help you through whatever situation in which
you find yourself, if you call on Me!
You will see miracles when I need miracles to be shown to others.
I will then bring you home to spend eternity with Me
when your work is completed.
You have promised to need Me
and submit to Me as best you can.
You must realize that this life with Me is to fulfill My will.
Unless you set your mind to be in line with My heart
and My Word,
you will find yourself confused, and eventually heartbroken.
Do I love you?
Oh yes, more than you will ever know.
But I also lov e those who hate both Me and you at present.
I desire that they be with Us for eternity, also.
You are My agent to show them My Son,
so that they have a chance to embrace Him.
If that means that they need to see how He reacts to difficult situations,
I will lead you into difficult situations
because I can trust you there, for their sake.
I have bought you with My Son's blood.
That is a high price to pay.
I will show Him to the world in whatever way that I deem necessary,
and I promise to use you to do it.
There is much work to be done at present.
When it is finished, I will bring you home and we will celebrate.
