I HAVE LOVED YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE

September 15, 1985

I want to speak directly to My people, the sheep of my pasture.

I have loved you with an everlasting love and have gathered you together from Egypt to be a special people. You have made your way across the desert with Me to guide you and I am now ready to take you into the Promised Land. You have been faithful through much tribulation and suffering, but I have supplied you with manna and water as your needs arose. I have protected you with a wall of fire and led you forward by My Spirit. Nothing has been by chance. You are not here by chance today, but I have brought you all here as the people I have chosen to be my own special jewels in My crown of righteousness. Your love and devotion to Me has been as a sweet-smelling incense in My nostrils and will not go unrewarded. If only you could comprehend the greatness of My love to you in return for your praises, but human words cannot express it.

I give to you this day a special anointing of love and power to dispel the forces of darkness which seek to encompass you. Only by the power of My Spirit poured upon you will you be able to stand through the days ahead. If you but cling to My garments I will give you a great peace in the midst of storm and joy in the midst of suffering as you move into the Promised Land and overthrow the enemy entrenched within its gates. You will be given My power and My love as you move forward through unknown areas and encamp there. Have no fear. I will be there with you as I was in the days of old, and have never abandoned those whom I have chosen to serve Me. My power will be your power and My love your love. Turn your faces toward Me and I will put My glory into them so they may shine to show My love and power to a darkening world. I come to prepare the Church, My holy Bride, for the last days when I shall come. Fear not, little flock. I will be your God, the Creator of the universe, and I have all power of all the eternal ages. I will hold you in My hand and cherish you. I will cover you and protect you as a hen covers her chickens and lead you into all truth. As you enter the gates of the Promised Land, I only ask you leave your sins at the gate and leave the burden of them with Me. They cannot be taken with you as their weight will be too heavy for you in what I have prepared for you to do. Just trust Me, dear children, and I will help you overtake the strongholds of the enemy as I did when Joshua led my people into an unknown land. Cleave to Me, the Rock of ages, for I am the one thing you can count on in a world of despair. I love you all and am the great Shepherd if you will but submit to My rod and staff as I lead you into green pastures. THUS SAYETH THE LORD.
