Listen. Another has Been Rescued out of Darkness

The Father says today,

"Pause and think of this....think of the day we met, and how I lifted you up from the trash heap of woe and washed you clean, gave you a new set of clothes...brushed your hair. There was nothing I wouldn't do for you, patiently I waited...patiently I wait for you to see yet again that there is nothing you can do that will separate my love from you. I am always coming for you waiting for your response to my leading. I know you were hurt. It isn't shameful to Me to hear your stories, I simply am ready to place the pen of life in your hand and write a new story. This is a new day and your life is new. The old life, the old abuse, the old job of back and forth, up and down is done. You are not too old, you are not too young, it is never too late and it is never too early to experience my promises- you just must believe.

Don't dismiss too early the people I send to encourage you- they are coming to you on My behalf with My voice," says the Father. "Listen. Listen for my words threaded within the voice of the stranger and you will recognize My sound reaching for you. Listen. Listen for the song of the redeemed floating on the airwaves untangled by the voice of unity singing in one accord. Sing together with Me in a duet of old beginning with Hosanna in the Highest. Listen. Listen to the child who comes to you with the same question you once had and share the answer I gave you. Come to me again as you once did, wide-eyed and enamored with my magic, the true deep otherworldly heaven on earth magic that holds the hands of the poor and kisses the unloved and gives the disenfranchised a voice. Listen. Hear My heartbeat of hope behind every sound of woe, every crowded city street, every it's-the-end-of-everything news report and anchor yourself in Me and the new thing I am doing on this earth.

Heaven has come through the door of belief in a single Life who rings the bell of LifE and LiFe more AbUnDaNt! Jesus. There is always an end but this is not that time- this is the beginning. Jesus. As you anchor yourself in My heart, you will move forward with great strength of Joy. You will become like a ship at harbor pulling away from the shores of unbelief and taking others with you into the deep waters of My promise- my words are alive in you. Jesus. See the nets full- they are so full they are about to break! So many cry out to Me for hope and relief from the darkness of this earth- BE THAT LIGHT, Beloved. It is you who is the light bearer, casting the warm glow of My life over the masses. You house the flame. You trim the wick. You fill the reservoir of your soul with oil as you come to Me. I don't just light that flame, Beloved, I am that flame! Will you be my voice? Will you be the one lighting the night for those I hear crying in the wilderness of all that is dark and be the lamp of hope? I hear your answer already. Receive you now a greater portion of anointing so your light stays lit. Receive you now more realization about the Flame you carry. Receive you now greater hearing and precise hearing as I guide you through this uncharted night. Listen, light bearer...I send you now to those who are captive and hopeless. This time I have sent you without a map. Your adversary cannot locate you because there is no map except for My voice telling you which way to go. You must listen, says the Father, your life and theirs depends on it. Selah

Isaiah 9: 1-3 NIV

Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress...

The people walking in darkness

have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.

Isaiah 42:16

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

Isaiah 58:10

...and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
