The Enduring Journey: Strength

Word to Karen (Father speaking)

Oh My children, I am so pleased with you right now. I will strengthen and encourage you as you go. Listen to Me every step of the way. I will give you direction, purpose and a plan. You have done well to hear Me as you have planned. Charley you have done well to hear My voice as you have talked to those I am sending you to. I will give you the words to say and the love to give as you seek Me daily for My wishes and desires for each person. I love them so much and they are going to know how much I love them after you come. Their hearts have been heavy over many things but when you leave their hearts will be light. They will have a renewed sense of My presence and power and then I will be able to accomplish through them what I desire. They have been oppressed by the devil long enough and it is time for My light to shine into them and through them. I will lead you and guide you. I will show you where to go and what to do. The first trip was an example of how it will be and will continue to be as you seek Me totally. This is My trip and I will get all the honor and glory for it. Thank you for your submission to Me and your desire to follow Me. Just keep on doing what you are doing and draw even closer to each other and share with each other as I place such an awesome love not only for Me but also for each other and others within you. These next months will be so great for the work of the Kingdom. Stay in the Word so that you will be sensitive to My Spirit and will be able to recognize the attacks of the devil. He is like a roaring lion but through Me you have the power to remove the roar. In the name of My Son, Jesus, you have the victory. Be blessed as you prepare, hear My voice and follow My words. I love you and have an awesome plan for your life. We are in the midst of that plan and you are doing well.

(Karen speaking)

I say glory to Your name, oh, Lord, thank You for confirmation, thank You for peace, thank You for Your blessing. I give all honor and glory and praise to My Lord. He is the Almighty God and My Lord. The great I AM. Hallelujah. Amen.

Psalm 121:1-8 “I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.”

The Enduring Journey: Vision

Word to Charley
December 29, 1999
(Father speaking)
I am pleased with you, My son, for the time that you spend in the Word and before My throne. All that I have promised you will come to pass. I do not forget my promises, nor do I make them lightly. Because you have chosen to continue to believe in Me and trust in My words, all that I have told you will come.

VISION
(Charley speaking)
In our lifetime we will have many turning points that we can say made a difference in the direction we took and the choices we make. This vision was one of those turning points. It made such an impact in my life that it took me that next step in appropriating the faith and trust in the Lord Jesus that I need to walk this journey.

Charley’s Vision
December 30, 1999
(Charley speaking)
Last night as I was lying in bed before going to sleep, I had a vision. In this vision I saw Jesus approach my bed so awesomely beautifully dressed in a white robe. I asked Him, I said, Lord, have you come for me, do I need to go with You?
(Father speaking)
My brother, your time here is not finished. There is still much for you to do. There are still many people for you to tell about Me. I came to encourage you, to let you know how much I love you. I leave My comforter with you to continue guiding you.
(Charley speaking)
I began to tell Him how much I love Him and worshipped Him. And then He was gone. I wasn’t sure at that time if I was to share with Karen or not but this morning at the breakfast table Father gave me direction to do so. It is very difficult to put into words that awesomeness and beauty of my Lord Jesus. He truly is Lord.

Joel 2:28-32 “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that who ever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”

Acts 2:17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.”

It is our desire:
For all of our family to experience the saving grace of Jesus, to know Him as Lord, and to experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

The Enduring Journey: Much Work

Oh, Lord, thank You for encouraging and loving us. We make so many mistakes just trying to walk with You. Every time we feel so inadequate, You are adequate. Every time we allow fear and despair to flood our hearts, You flood our hearts with peace and rest like nothing this world can give. What an awesome blessing You are, Lord! You are the author of blessing.

Word to Karen
December 29, 1999
(Father speaking)
There is much to be done. After this week things will move quickly. You are doing well staying available to Me. Just like last night being right where I wanted you to be. I showed My power and glory last night to George and Dana and confirmed in Debbie’s heart that I hear her cry and I know her faithfulness. Thank you for being My servants with a willing heart and a pure mind. Continue to study to show yourself approved as I use you every day to show My love and care to others. You are My witnesses to the church as well as to the world. I have a plan for you and you are to be obedient to that plan. No one else can do all that I have for you to do. Go as I tell you and do as I tell you. Share as I give direction and always listen to My voice and go forward boldly into tomorrow knowing that I am your God and I will provide all you need and give you the desires of your heart. Seek My face diligently and know that I am with you. When the doubts and fears come, and they will come, continue to trust and seek Me. I will give you peace and direction and love for those I send to you and all I send you to. I am taking care of the children and you can trust them to Me. Go, do, serve, love, pray and speak My name to all I send to you and all I send you to. You are My children and I love you. Go with all diligence and boldness into the days ahead knowing that I am with you and I will lead you and I will care for you. Continue to praise My name in the world, as there are so many who only need to hear My name and they are ready to give their lives to Me. The harvest is coming and your job is to do what I tell you and there are others doing their job and with all working together the harvest will come and soon. This New Year does not hold fear but much joy and excitement. For the child of Mine, there is no fear or concern. I am Lord for the year 2000. I am Almighty God and I can be trusted with you and all you love. Thank you for placing your family in My hands. Keep encouraging others to do so. Thank you for leaving your children in My hands. They are coming along fine and you will see the repentance and turning to Me soon. Be steadfast and unwavering in your walk. I will support you and hold you and carry you but keep walking forward to fulfill the plan I have for you. I bless you My children. Yield, submit and persevere. My joy is your strength.

I am pleased with you, My son, for the time that you spend in the Word and before My throne. All that I have promised you will come to pass. I do not forget My promises, nor do I make them lightly.

The Enduring Journey: This World Is Not My Home

December 13, 1999
(Father speaking)
This world is not your home. You are just passing through. As you pass through trusting and depending on Me you will lead others to go down that path with Me. Always stay open to the leading of My Spirit. Always stay open to My Word. Listen to My voice and hear what I say and do what I say. You have and are doing well in hearing. Just do not ever close your ears to My voice. You have heard My voice enough to know but always test to be sure. It is with great joy that I walk with you daily. You are precious children whom I love greatly. Keep trusting and believing. I am bringing all together for My perfect will to be accomplished. The time is now for healing, restoration and joy. I am your God. You are My people. Keep telling all I send you to and all you meet what I am doing. The boldness has grown within you and you are now greater witnesses than you were before. Step out in this world for Me. Be available at any point to share the good news of My love, grace and provision. Peace is yours because you have believed. Joy is yours because you dare to believe. Healing is yours because you know the healer.

(Karen speaking)
Lord, every day with You is sweeter than the day before. This world is not our home, thank You, Lord, as we look to eternity with You. Our whole focus has changed in these last months. We are learning to open our hand and let go all that seemed dear to lay hold of Jesus who is the dearest thing we could ever desire.

(Father speaking)
You are getting the message, My child. You are learning the most precious gift that can be given this Christmas is Jesus, His love and His Word. I love you, Charley and Karen. Just keep your eyes focused on Me so that I am all you see. I will send you to love, encourage and pray for many as long as you always see Me first. Stay on your face and in My Word. It is a wonderful journey we are on together. You are loved by many because you love many. You are always willing to love. Stay free in Me.

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Corinthians 5:1

The Enduring Journey: Study to Show Thyself Approved

During this preparation time that Father has been walking us through, we have spent much time in the Word and in prayer. We do not want to make any mistakes concerning the call and directions that Father is giving us. Each step is a step of faith and each opportunity is an opportunity of trust and dependence on our Lord. He speaks daily but some we do not write down and some He tells us to record.

Friday, December 3, 1999
A Word to Charley
(Father speaking)
My son, I am pleased with you and the study of My Word that you have committed yourself to these past days. You need to continue to stay in My Word and stay before My throne in prayer. The words that you spoke to Don yesterday were My words and they made an impact that you will never know the fullness of. That all happened simply because you were obedient to Me and prayed for My wisdom. I am pleased with you, My son.
(Charley speaking)
Lord, is there anything that I need to be doing so that the motor home and the complete package along with the money may come?
(Father speaking)
No… As you have told many people, the difference between the amen and the here it is, is the time that it takes Me to get you ready to receive the blessing. All of the things that I have promised you will come to pass. As you read in My Word this morning, I cannot lie. And as you have told many people I am never late. Just keep believing, My son, and trusting in Me. And all of these things will come to pass. The harvest will be greater than you could even imagine. And Charley, it brings great pleasure to Me the excitement that you have talked about in seeing the great harvest come. Continue seeking Me in My Word and in prayer. Don’t stop. Keep doing the little jobs that I have for you to do. The day will come soon very soon when I will tell you where to locate the buyer for your home. The kids are responding to Me very well. I am leading them and they are doing well. Tim and Carol were deeply touched when you and Karen prayed for them. Yes, they do believe in My power. And healing is taking place in them. Betty and Joe are coming along. Yes, the presence of the motor home will be a great revelation to Joe when it arrives. You will have an opportunity to share with him and see him come to Me. You did well in opening the bank account. Now I can send you more money to put into the account. And the time is very soon that you will need to go to the CPA and begin setting up the non-profit status. These are very busy times. Just stay in My Word and listen to Me. Continue to test the spirits, as satan wants to sidetrack you. Continue to ask for confirmation. Continue to talk with Karen about everything. And continue to separately come to Me for confirmation. This is very important. I love you, My son. You are doing very well by following My directions and commandments. Just keep seeking Me.

2 Timothy 2:15 “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

The Enduring Journey: The Fruit of the Spirit/Precious Children

How is Love manifested through the Fruit of the Spirit? Read below:

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

LOVE
Manifested in:

Joy—love’s strength

Peace—love’s security

Long-suffering—love’s patience

Gentleness—love’s conduct

Goodness—love’s character

Faith—love’s confidence

Meekness—love’s humility

Temperance—love’s victory

A Holy Spirit-controlled man needs no law to cause him to live a righteous life.

Galatians 5:16 “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”

Galatians 5:24-26 “And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”

Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”

PRECIOUS CHILDREN
November 11, 1999
(Father speaking)
Oh, how precious are My children who seek to be obedient to all I have told them. You are a part of those precious children. You have sought to do all that I have told you. I know it has been a difficult walk but you have done well. Do not fear and do not doubt. You are very close to seeing the manifestation of My power and presence. Soon you will be about My business. I know your thoughts and I love you. I know the strain and I love you. I give you My peace. The world does not give this peace. It only comes from Me. I am your Lord. I am your God. I am the only One that you are to look to for the completion of the purpose and plan I have for you. I will give you direction and I will give you answers to your questions. I am in control of all I have called you to do. Leave that control in My hands and walk forward. Never looking back to the trials but always looking forward to the completion. I love you so much and I will take care of you. Just trust, believe, wait and love. How precious are My children who wait for Me. You are precious children and I love you. Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in Me.

John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

The Enduring Journey: Victory/Receiving Our Inheritance

November 9, 1999
(Charley speaking)
I was praising God tonight for what I sensed was a great victory over the evil one, as satan had tried through my own family to create doubt. I was also praising God for the defeat of satan, and praising Him for the wisdom and understanding to see clearly what satan was trying to do.
(Father speaking)
Yes, My son, you did well tonight. For satan tried 2 times to create doubt in your mind through different sources and you stood strong My son. You did not allow the evil one to get even a foothold. That is the last battle. It is over now. It is finished. It is finished. It is finished. The last roadblock was demolished tonight. Now the motor home will arrive. You did well My son.
(Charley speaking)
I had felt a freedom today all day long from satan and his demons of doubt and fear. Then within an hour 2 times satan tried to undermine and through Father’s wisdom and understanding, I was able to see and to respond. Hallelujah! Thank You, Father. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit. To repeat Father’s words. It is finished, it is over. Glory to God!! The fight is over, the battle has been won. And all to the glory of God. Hallelujah!
1 Corinthians 14:56-58
“The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that you labor is not in vain in the Lord.“

1 John 5:4-5
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--*our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”

Receiving Our Inheritance

Psalm 16:5-6
O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

Psalm 37:18
The Lord knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever.

Psalm 47:4
He will choose our inheritance for us, the excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

Galatians 4:6-7
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His son into your heart, crying out, (abba, Father!) Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Ephesians 1:5, 11
Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

Luke 15:1
And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.’

Mark 11:22-24
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Romans 8:17
“and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
