     Next I clearly saw an Angel of the LORD; he had an open scroll and he proclaimed what was written on the scroll.  I asked the LORD, "What is the angel of the LORD proclaiming?  And  what is written on the scroll? "

     I went to my office and  looked up the words "Angel of the LORD."  I quickly came upon 2nd Samuel 24:16-17.  When the Angel of the LORD stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem , The LORD relented concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was afflicting people, ", ENOUGH! Withdraw your hand."  The angel of the LORD was then at the threshing floor… 

When David saw the angel of the LORD who was striking down the people he said,"I have sinned.  I the shepherd have done wrong. These are but sheep.  [what have they done?] Let your hand fall on me and my family."

     A lot of us are feeling the burn.  Satan has been ruthless in his attacking of the saints.  He has relentlessly gone after us at every angle. We have been afflicted greatly.  Some of us will have lost loved ones; our health and our finances are being drained.  But God has decreed over his beloved, "Enough! The one who has been afflicting my people must go no further.  He must withdraw his hand!"  Many of us have cried out, "Lord, we are as sheep without a shepherd!  What have we done?" 

     The Lord Jesus has interceded on our behalf.  The spirit of the Lord is our advocate.  The cries of God's children have been recorded in the books of heaven, and the Spirit is groaning for us before the throne of the Almighty.  The enemy stole, killed and tried to destroy us.  But God has heard our cries, and has turned what was meant to harm us into a refining fire that is [making us fit for battle in the new season.]  

     Even now, He who sits on the throne is sending angels to conduct assaults and maneuvers on the enemies of God's children. Some angels are sent to bind up wounds and some are sent to comfort.  LOOK!  Angels have brought to the battle field;  Food: (Spiritual food);Which is the body of Christ which was broken for us.  Drink: (Living water) Which is the word of God written on our hearts, to refresh and cleanse us and cleanse our wounded minds, bodies and souls.  Healing Balm: (the blood of the lamb who was slain for us; to bring healing to our wounds.  

     The LORD is calling His saints to communion with Him.  Take time in your prayers to do this.  To take communion with Father, Son, Holy Spirit.  Be healed and made whole.  Be fitted with new upgraded armor.  Be strengthened in your time of rest in the Lord's presence.  Do not rush your recovery.  The battle is the Lord's; linger long in His presence.  breathe Him in.  Sing to Him. And allow Him to sing to you.  Stay right where He is at.  Worship in Spirit and in Truth.  

   

  One of the devil's greatest tactic's is to get you more focused on him then on the LORD our God.

     SEEK first the Father's kingdom, the heart of the King, Jesus, and the passion of the Spirit, and all that you need will be added to you; to outfit you for upcoming battles you will face.  Your old armor is dented and uncomfortable.  But stay in His presence and He will give you new armor that will fit perfectly.  empty your hands of what you have been carrying and come and be filled.  Be present with the Lord.  Just BE.

  

     

     Since that time, as my servants have filled the earth, I have been sending rain or with holding rain, so that the ground would either be dry or be soaked.  I sent rain in its season and the ground yielded its crops and the trees their fruit.   I have both, flooded the earth and withheld my rain in my storehouse. 

     Now is a time that I have remembered my children and my promise to my children.  I made a covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind.  Never again will the waters become such a great flood as to destroy all life.  

     I Am like the light of morning, at sunrise on a cloudless morning.  I AM brightness after rain that brings grass from the earth.  

     Yes there have been great storms!  But I have not permitted the flood to utterly destroy, just as I have promised.   I have allowed the storms to soften the ground so that my children can help bring in the harvest.

  

     SEE!  The winter has passed; the rains are over and gone.  flowers appear on the earth, a sure sign of soft ground.  

   Be patient my beloved; SEE how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and the spring rains.  Where the ground has been made soft and rich is where I AM sending you.

  

     I have made the storms to prepare the hearts of "men", including my children's hearts. You have not escaped the storms but have endured through them.  Be sure that your own hearts are soft.  

    

     I have commanded  my children to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be called children of your father in heaven.  I cause the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and I send rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.  

     Now, let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew.  Like showers on the grass, like abundant rain on tender plants (hearts).

     I have not left myself without testimony; I have given you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons, and have provided you with plenty of food and I fill your hearts with joy!  So my beloved, be patient in the waiting…

     It is my desire for none to perish!  This is why sun and rain both, fall on the children of the father and also on the unrighteous.  Yes.  I AM is softening the hearts of my children in the storms; so that as the hearts of "men" are made soft; that my children who are called by my name will have mercy and love in their hearts; and as they love in my name they will be filled with joy overflowing and many more will be saved for that day when I AM coming!  

     So, be patient my children and make room in your softened hearts for fresh fruit to grow and become ripe to the glory of your father in heaven.
