You have found "the pearl of great price". Not one pearl only, but a large string of pearls long enough to circle round your neck many times over. They are meant to protect you form all harm and danger and keep your heart pure before Me as you proceed into enemy territory. They are a mark of your kingship as a servant of mine and will be to you my gift to you. Remember your mark of kingship is no license to become proud, but only a reminder that you are a subject of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. You are my servant, but one empowered with my power to do my bidding. You get your orders from Me. If you are faithful in following the right set of orders from Me, not from man, you need never fear what others say of you or be perturbed by the mocking of others. Remember my life was never easy, yet I proceeded through it through one persecution after the other with the joy of my Father to sustain me. I, too, knew of a string of pearls and I present them now to you as a gift of love. Nothing you can do now or later will make you worthy of owning them or worthy to wear them. Only my death has accomplished all that. I died for you that you might wear them and be a child of mine. It is your seal of ownership. It is your seal of the blood upon your life. The only way you can lose the pearls would be a willful act of disobedience against Me and a flaunting of my laws. But as long as your love is strong toward Me, I will protect the pearls. They are on a very strong string that no one but you can break. The powers of hell themselves cannot snap the cord as long as you remember to turn to Me when in trouble, not to the world with all its 'wise' answers! Remember your wisdom must come from above and the riches and wealth as represented by your string of pearls and are not of the world. They are a gift from your King. Remember that I love you and my love is greater than man's love can ever be. The world may fail you, but I will never cease to be with you to uphold and strengthen you as you move forward into the unknown. My hand of mercy is upon you to deliver and sustain you. Have no fear. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. There is no other but Me. My strong arms protect you from that which would seek to destroy you, and the power of my Spirit upon you will win many souls for My kingdom. I will be with my own people until every knee will bow before my throne to worship and praise the King. There is no other name in heaven or earth. It is Me and Me only they are called to serve. The pearl of great price is their reward. Move ahead without fear knowing you are a well-equipped soldier in my army to fight the good fight of faith. Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. My dear Bride, I love you. Never forget that I love you. You are not alone. My angels go before you to make your path straight and remove any barriers which might prevent my work being accomplished. My hand is heavy upon you. I will not leave you or forsake you. My wisdom is your wisdom. My peace I give to you not as the world gives. My blood shed at Calvary is your protection and will be there always unless you choose to walk out of its flow. My power and My grace are sufficient for you. Hallelujah and Amen! Amen and Amen!
