LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP WHERE THE WATERS ARE DEEP AND THE FISH ARE MANY

December 1996

Launch out into the deep my child. Launch out where the waters are deep and the fish are many. No longer be content to fish from the shore. For you are My own special anointed one to gather in the harvest by filling the nets with fish who have gone far from the shore. The only fishermen who will be able to reach them are the brave, the tireless ones, the ones who depend on Me for their safety in the stormy waters which lie ahead. Go fearlessly forth, proclaiming the good news to all and sundry.

Faint not nor fear not. Fear not the angry waves or the tidal rise, fear only the Lord who rides with you in the boat. In the dependence on Me for your strength, for your protection and stability to do My work and bring in the harvest, there is mercy beyond measure. Is not My grace sufficient for your every need?

So launch out into the deep waters and you will find they are the living waters of my love. What appears to be a place of danger is actually the only safe place to be in the days to come so take heart My child. Be not discouraged or alarmed at what appears impossible. Am I not the God of the impossible? Is My arm shortened in the storm? Have I not the power to direct you to the place where the fish are and to help you pull in the heavy nets, even in the midst of the storm? Am I not the God of Israel who parted the Red Sea, took my people through the desert and brought them forth victorious into the land which I had promised them. So will it be in the last days says the Lord. So will it be for all who will walk before Me in humility and who will seek and follow my leading. Hear my voice calling to you. Launch out into the deep, into unknown territory. Those who linger at the shore will catch no fish, neither will they have the protection of the deeper waters when the storms come. You have only one way to go - launch out into the deep and keep your eyes on your Master who is the only one who can save you and save My people sayeth the Lord. I have provided the nets. Now go, use them, and bring in My harvest. You will be saved, delivered and blessed as you are obedient to My leading and My commands. Go forth. Fear not. The Lord your God goes with you. He will neither leave you not forsake you. For you have been specially trained, equipped and strengthened for the journey. For I have promised to be with you. Yes, with you even to the end of the world. What appears to be dangerous waters is your haven of safety and your place of quiet rest. It is the way I have chosen for you, now walk ye in it!
