Press in and do not hold back from going even deeper, for I am calling My people higher to press in like never before. You must guard your heart like never before, and be discerning. Wait upon Me, and I will show you the schemes, the tactics, the plans of the enemy to hinder you going deeper in Me.

When you find yourself in an apparent setback, rejoice for I am using it for your good! Rejoice for I am setting the captives free, and opening the blind eyes, and causing them to be able to hear My still small voice.

Rejoice for this is the day of My visitation. For I have seen your heart, and I have seen your hunger for wanting more of Me. More than the air you breathe, you want Me! And because you have pressed in, I will reward you.

For I am coming soon, and I am making My bride ready. Be like the ten virgins who made themselves ready with plenty of oil. They trimmed their lamps, and waited upon Me day and night, desperate for My intimate presence. I put My touch upon their hearts with the fire of My love—and I am doing the same for you.

I am coming soon. So press in and do not refrain. No matter what you see, trust Me. Keep your eyes of your heart upon Me, and I will lead you through the storms of discouragement. I will reward you because you were faithful to keep My word deep in your heart and loved Me for who I am and not for what I can do for you.

Ask for wisdom to walk out what I show you. Ask for great grace to enable you to go forth past the storm. Rejoice for you do have the victory this very hour, says your God.
