Patricia King: "Leaning on Your Beloved -- 'If you humble Yourself In this Season, You Will Experience Fresh Empowerment in the Next'"

Leaning on Your BelovedThe Lord says, "This is a year of many shifts and changes. Trust in Me with all your heart, and do not lean to your understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me, and I will show Myself strong on your behalf. I will make your way straight as you wait on Me. I will grant you sound wisdom and counsel from above, but you must turn your heart towards Me completely. I will bless you beyond your wildest imaginations if you will trust Me completely."Eat of the Tree of Life"Do not even lean on the good things that you learned from Me in the past. If you do, you could be tempted to go into your own understanding to process what I am leading you into. The understanding you received in the past is not a big enough container to hold what I am about to reveal to you in this hour. Do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but, rather, eat of the tree of life." Return to Your First Love"This is a time to return to your first love and to put Me first beyond all else. This is a time for worship, prayer, and listening as you meet with Me in the tent of meeting. Turn away from all that distracts you, and lean unto Me, for I have great things to reveal to you as you draw into My presence. If you trust in the grace that has lingered upon you from years gone by and continue in distraction, then your light will grow dim and your influence will weaken for it is only in Me that you find life, strength, and light. It is dangerous for you to fail to return to your first love, but it is life to you if you draw close. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you."Great Manifestations of Power, Miracles, Signs and Wonders"You will witness great manifestations of My power, My miracles, My signs and My wonders in the coming days. I am looking for true disciples who will humble themselves before Me and for those who will walk in complete dependency upon My Spirit. I am looking for those whose heart is completely Mine--those I can call My bondservants and handmaidens. I will pour out My Spirit upon them. I am looking for those who will truly wait on Me, allowing the fresh bread of heaven to fill them. You will see new things spring forth in My Body, and some of the old will fade and fail if there is not a response to come into My presence for fresh strategy. The systems of man's understanding will war against the understanding My Spirit will bring forth in this hour. Abide in Me."Listen for the Lord's Voice Alone"Only in My presence will you find understanding and strength. Many voices will say to you go this way or that way, but as you listen for My voice alone, you will find the wisdom that you long for. You will hear Me say, 'This is the way, walk in it.' Those that wait upon Me shall be clothed with power from On High. Those that wait for My word will experience breakthrough."Called to Humility and the Secret Place"If you humble yourself in this season, you will experience fresh empowerment in the next. If you meet with Me in the secret place in this season, you will be greatly rewarded in the next. My promise to you is for expansion, enlargement, fruitfulness, and increase."Called into His Presence"Come into My presence, and I will reveal things to you that your eye has not seen, that your ear has not heard, and neither has it even entered your heart. Come into My presence, and I will fill you with My counsel. Come into My presence, and I will empower you. Come into My presence, and I will prosper you. You are My delight, and I will raise you up in this hour if you lean upon Me." Scriptures to Meditate on:(Song of Solomon 8:5) "Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved? Beneath the apple tree I awakened you..."(John 13:23) "Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved."(Revelation 2:4,5,7) "But I have this against you that you have left your first love. Therefore remember from where you have fallen and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lamp stand out of its place -- unless you repent.He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God."(Proverbs 3:5,6) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own nderstanding.In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."(Exodus 33:9, 11) "Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; and the Lord would speak with Moses. Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend..."
