“I am drawing all things from you that are not pleasing to me,” saith the Lord. “I am shaking all that can be shaken, and will continue to shake things until my perfect will is done in the lives of those that I have called to holiness. I will shake, and I will turn things so that all that is up will be down and all that is down will be up.

“I am rearranging things and circumstances so that your lives will reflect the glory of myself, and that glory shall guide and protect you through this time of change. I have said that change is coming, and it is here. Do not burrow into a hole and cry out of fear, for yes, my child, I am the one that is bringing the change, and yes, my child I shall do a work and it shall be a work that will change you and your circumstances so all will know that it is me.

“I am preparing you as a bride for my Son, and I would say that a bride must be ready, and cleansed and refreshed, so that in anticipation of her lover, she will be ready — ready and waiting and ready and changed. I will make you into what my son would desire, and that is a holy and without blemish bride.

“You shall wonder and you shall sigh, and you shall not understand all that is going on, but I am the one that is bringing this to pass, and when I am finished you shall know that I have been the one that has brought you to this and brought you through this. Hold fast to my Word, my child, and stand with your arms outstretched to me for I am here to bring you through, and the fires and the horrors that you will see, will not change my word, that I am your armor and I am your protection, for yes, these things shall come but shall not destroy you.

“I am here, and I await your arms outstretched to me so that you can walk with me through the valley of the shadow of death, and fear no evil, for yea, I am here,” saith the Lord.
