Prophecies for All Those Going Through Difficult Times
By Maria
1. Knowing that many of you have been going through some very big trials--and some of you have been battling heavily for extended periods--I felt burdened to share with you these beautiful words of instruction, comfort and love from the Lord which were given for one of our precious leaders after she poured out her heart to us about the battles she has been fighting, the burdens she has been carrying, and the strain that she has been feeling.
2. Jesus loves each one of you so much! He sees your struggles, He knows the terrible waves of doubt and discouragement which threaten to overwhelm you. He knows that sometimes you just feel like you can't go on another day. He cares for you so deeply and His heart is touched more than you can imagine when He sees your agony. He says these precious words below to you too if you will but accept them and believe. Yes, Jesus does care when your heart is pained and you stagger beneath the load, and when your sad heart aches until it almost breaks. He is right there beside you! You are not alone!
(Note: The following excerpts of prophecy and prayer were given at various times over several days.)
Jesus Has All the Answers!
3. (Prophecy:) "Questions, questions! There are so many questions. How will we carry the load? Who will do the work? Where will the strength come from?
4. "Answers, answers! Yea, I have the answers, for the answers come of Me. Search Me and seek Me, for I have ways to show you that you know not of. For My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts, and My means of accomplishment are much different than yours.
5. "My dear one, be not afraid. Fear not that which is in store for thee, for I am He that comforteth, I am He that loveth, I am He that strengtheneth, and I have strength for thee.
6. "This is the time to lean heavily upon Me, to spend time with Me, trusting and knowing that as thou doest this, I will do the other things.
7. "Look up, for this is where thou wilt find the answers thou needest. This is where thou wilt find the strength that thou needest. Spend time with Me. Spend time hearing My voice, bringing these questions that thou hast before Me and hearing My voice and having faith that I will speak and lead thee and guide thee.
8. "You say, 'How can I do this? How can this be?' I say that I have given unto you the strength of weakness, and the strength and the power of My Word, and the strength and the power of My voice. If you will spend time with Me, and will seek Me diligently and will hear My voice, I will give you the answers that you so desperately need.
9. "I will carry the weight if you will stop and take time with Me, for these are the things that I have been teaching. You must take time with Me to find new strength to do these tasks. This new strength is in Me, in My Words and in My voice.
10. "When you look at this job before you with the eyes of man, and when you think of all that there is to do, it is overwhelming. But when you look at it in the strength of God, in the strength of My voice, in the strength of My guidance and in the strength of My power, it is not too heavy; for I am God, and there is nothing too hard for Me. For with man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible. All things are possible to him that believeth. Bring your petitions before Me, and then stand back and see Me perform that which I will do.
11. "For I do not wish for you to be heavy laden and burdened and crushed, but I have put you in this position so that ye shall know it is impossible for you to do it, and you will seek Me, and I will teach you that your true strength is in Me.
12. "So come before My throne of grace and let Me carry the load, and I will show you the true power and the true strength--the power of prayer, the strength of listening. Though this looks like a very difficult and trying time, it is the time when I am calling you unto Me to show you that I have all that you need and I will give it freely unto you, if you seek Me." (End of prophecy.)
Faint Not!
13. (Prophecy:) "This one is weary in well doing. She hath fought a good fight, but she hath begun to look at the waves and the wind and the storm and the condition of her vessel--the condition of her children, the condition of the work, the condition of her husband, and all the things that she has thought that she should be able to carry and to help and to straighten out. It seemeth to her that she has failed, and that thus I have failed her. But I have not failed. I have allowed these things for My purposes, for My reasons. For My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
14. "I wish to strengthen her, to strengthen her through defeat, for when she cometh to the end of herself and knoweth that it is not enough, she will begin to understand the strength of My might and My power.
15. "So lift up your eyes unto the hills. From whence cometh your help? It cometh from Me. It cometh from seeking Me. It cometh from hearing Me. It cometh from having faith that I do all things well.
16. "She is weary and fainting in her mind. For as the waves rise and batter the ship, she hath lost faith to hold on to the helm and hath huddled down in fear, and thus the ship is blown about and battered. But she must once again hold on to the wheel in faith, the wheel of My Word, the wheel of My voice, the wheel of faith, the Halloween wheel of her anointing. Thus the ship can weather the storm and can be turned to face into the wind and can ride the waves without being battered, for it is being steered by My Word.
17. "But she saith, 'I am weary and too tired to hold on.' But he that holdeth not on and holdeth not fast to the steering wheel of My Word can more easily be swept overboard. For there are times to rest and there are times to lie down and let go, but there are times to hold on. And this is the time to hold on in faith, nothing wavering, looking not at the size of the waves or your battered vessel. But just to hold on and do that which thou knowest thou must do. Thou must turn thy ship into the wind and ride through the storm and know that the storm will end, it will pass, and there will be sunshine and calm seas ahead.
18. "For Satan hath desired to have thee, but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not, and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. For thou shalt be able to comfort others with the comfort wherewith thou hast been comforted of God. And this shall give thee the compassion, that thou canst have a compassionate and loving heart, and that thou wilt have a depth of understanding to comfort and care for others as thou hast been comforted and cared for. So hold on and do not let go, and thou shalt see the glory of God." (End of prophecy.)
The Lord's Compassion in Our "Crossing the Jordan"!
19. (Mama prays:) Lord, You know these battles that our dear folks are going through. You've said that the problem is that they're fainting in their minds. They certainly are bowed down under heavy burdens. If they can't give it to You, then they are going to collapse under it.
20. Come through for them, help them to hang on, give them Your comfort and encouragement. Strengthen by Thy Spirit and renew and restore and recreate these tired bodies and spirits and hearts that are fainting and falling under the strain of it, and are crouching down in fear at the vicious storm all around them. They haven't been able to give their burdens to You.
21. But we know it's possible. We've seen it over and over in others' lives and we know You can do it if we'll just give You a chance and yield to what You are trying to do with us. I just ask, Lord, that if there's anything You can say that will help these dear folks to hang on and to not give up and to keep trusting, please do it.
22. (Prophecy:) "It is with great compassion that I look upon you that must cross the Jordan--the Jordan of affliction, the Jordan of forsaking, the Jordan of discouragement, the Jordan of defeat. For I understand the depths of the Jordan. And I understand the trying of men's hearts, the depths of despair, of discouragement, of desperation.
23. "I understand the depth of forsaking, for first I had to forsake My Father to go to Earth. And then I had to forsake those that I loved so dearly to return unto My Father. I understand the depth of pain and affliction, for I screamed out in pain as the nails pierced My hands and My feet. And I understand the feeling of being forsaken by those that loved Me, yea, even My Own Father, and thus I cried out, 'My God! My God! Why hast Thou forsaken Me?'
24. "And I understand the depth of fear, fear of facing that which is ahead, for the pain and the sorrow that it shall bring. And so I said, 'Father, let this cup pass from Me.'
25. "And I understand the depth of the feeling of loss when those who loved Me most forsook Me as I was carried away into captivity. And I know the depth of hurt to see one that you love betray you, even as Judas betrayed Me with a kiss.
26. "For am I not a High Priest that is touched with the feeling of thy infirmity? Thinkest thou that I do not understand these things, and that I do not have great compassion upon thee? My heart breaks for thee, to see thee in thy pain and in thy struggle, and in the fire of testing, of trying, of purging--when thou feelest so hopeless, so lost, so forsaken, when thou graspest with all thy might and yet thou feelest as if there is nothing to grasp any more.
27. "And though My Father did not let this cup pass from Me, and though I saw My loved ones flee from My side in time of trouble and this one that I loved betray Me, and though the nails pierced My hands and pierced My feet, and though with many stripes I was beaten, and though I felt as if My Father had forsaken Me, and though I had to pass through the deepest of Jordans, the Jordan of death, yet it all brought about such great victory, such great renewal, such great salvation.
28. "And what if I, when faced with this, had said, 'I can go no further. I have come to the end of Myself. I have come to the end of My faith, and I cannot believe that if I go through this pain and agony and this suffering that it will bring forth that which hath been promised.' Think of the loss. Think of the defeat. Think of the victory of the Enemy of our soul.
29. "And now ye, My children, stand at the banks of the Jordan and I send you through. And now I say unto you, step into the water and walk through the depths, but know that I am there and that I will carry you through if your faith fail not.
30. "I cannot make this easier for you. I cannot make the depths of the Jordan more shallow, nor the current slower, for this would not be a true test. And I know the hurt and I understand the pain, and I love thee that thou wouldst even consider walking through this Jordan. But I cannot change the course of things that are required of thee, if thou wouldst make it through the Jordan and enter into the Promised Land of My rest and My peace, and into the glories that I have ahead.
31. "For all My children must pass through the Jordan of faith and trust and belief. But when they reach the other side they shall be washed clean and shall know Me in a new and greater way. For there is much ahead, but it costs.
32. "There have been times in the past when thou hast stood at the edge of the precipice thinking, 'My God! My God! Why hast Thou forsaken me?--For I can go no further.' And yet I carried thee, and I brought thee out from the desert place and into the cool waters. For all of these things require great faith.
33. "But know this, that I love you from the depths of My heart. You can face these things in great faith, trusting Me and trusting My Word and all that I have promised, for I will not fail you.
34. "And if thou art willing to drink of this cup, if thou art willing to say, 'Not my will, but Thine be done,' thou, too, shalt have a glorious resurrection that will far surpass anything that thou hast known. So trust Me for that which is ahead. But know that I will never forsake thee. I reward thee with great peace, great love, great understanding. And I will say unto thee, 'Well done, My good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the arms of My love'--as My Father said unto Me when He held Me in gratitude for the sacrifice that I made and the suffering that I endured.
35. "So come into My arms, My dear one, for great is My love for thee, and great is My love for all of you who pass through the Jordan." (End of prophecy.)
The Apostle Paul's Afflictions!
36. (Peter prays:) Lord, we pray for each one of Your precious Family that is going through difficulties, whether it be physical afflictions or spiritual battles. You have said that now is a time for people to make choices, and they are battling with these choices. You are trying through all these things to stir them up and help them to fight in order to strengthen them. It's hard for You to see them go through these things, but they've got to, Lord, as a test to see if they want You above all things, if they want You most of all, if You will be the most important in their lives, and whether You are even more important than their lives.
37. Lord, please help all Your dear ones who are going through it. Help them to hold on to You, for You are always there and You are our solid rock, and we can find rest in You.
38. Lord, in this hour of their greatest trial, help each one to cry out to You with all of their heart. Show Thy face to them, help them, strengthen them, give them courage, give them trust in Thee.
39. There's a reward coming very soon and they don't even need to wait until they get to their Heavenly Home. It's coming very soon if they can just hold on a little longer. We know You won't fail them, Lord, and that all things really do work together for good for each one who loves Thee and trusts Thee. Help them to trust. Help them just to fix their eyes on You.
40. (Prophecy, the Apostle Paul speaking:) "In my time on Earth I saw many afflictions. For I was shipwrecked at sea and spent a day in the water. I saw the high waves crashing all around and it was very frightening. And I was not delivered out of it but I was kept through it. I was beaten and I was stoned and I suffered sickness.
41. "Many times I was so discouraged that I felt like giving up, but I knew I had to keep going, that I was called and commissioned to spread the Gospel far and wide. And had I given up, others would have taken the crown, but it would have taken much more time, for I was the instrument, the vessel that was chosen to do the task that was set before me.
42. "But I saw much hardship and many times I felt defeated physically, mentally and spiritually, and tired. And at times I would think, 'I've endured so much, and I'm so tired.' But I knew I could not give up, for I knew there was a great crown of righteousness laid up for me. And I knew that others expected it of me, and that if I had laid down my righteous crown, it would have stumbled many.
43. "And so in my defeat, in my discouragement and in my despair I carried on faithfully. And as I did, these things came to pass, and I was brought through them. The storms did not always end when I wished them to. I had to go through the beatings and the stonings, but the Lord always gave me the grace, and afterwards comforted me and healed me and kept me and rewarded me.
44. "And though I went through these things, I had so many highlights and wonderful things that the Lord did for me and used me to accomplish. And when you compare the fruit of my life to the sufferings, there is no comparison. For Satan buffeted me and tempted me and discouraged me, and tried to defeat me; yea, he tried to kill me. But our Lord kept me and protected me. He did not deliver me from these things, but He kept me through them.
45. "And what of the martyrs of all ages? They were not delivered out of their afflictions, they were kept through them and they were delivered unto their Heavenly reward. And there are those who have suffered imprisonment year after year after year. They were not delivered out of these things, but they were kept through them.
46. "So when the storms come and beat high upon your ship, and it seems as if your vessel is breaking into pieces, trust. For our Lord is always there, and He does not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able to bear, but He makes a way to escape--not always to escape from the affliction or the battle or the test, but you can escape through trusting.
47. "Hold fast that which thou hast; let no man, no, not even Satan steal that which thou hast, the crown of glory that is given unto thee. Hold it fast. Hold it through the storm. Hold it through the flood. Hold it through the fire. For there is laid up for you that are faithful and trusting an exceeding great reward.
48. "And once you choose to hold on, then we can spring into action and help even more. But you must choose, you must take the step of faith, that is for you alone to choose. So be not fearful to undergo whatever it is that is sent your way--your testings, your trials, your purgings. But know that He is faithful to keep you in all your tribulations, and through your tribulations and beyond your tribulations." (End of prophecy.)
Choosing to Cross Jordan! These Are the Days of Choices!
49. (Prophecy:) "These are the days of choices, the days of testing. And these are the days that I bring these to the banks of the Jordan and say, 'Will you cross?' And some say, 'Oh, but there are giants in the land, and we will not be able to defeat them.'
50. "Each must make their choice. But My choice is for all to pass through into the Promised Land of My love and of My blessings. And all that it takes to pass through is faith and trust and belief in Me. Faith that I can carry you through, trust that I will carry you through, and belief that I love you enough to carry you through.
51. "So give these My message of love, saying unto them that there are great blessings ahead. For I would not test them with such severity if there was not great blessing ahead. And I would not require such sacrifice if there was not great reward ahead.
52. "But in all things show them great love and great patience and great understanding and great compassion, for they do suffer. But much of what they suffer they suffer because they resist that which I wish for them to do, because they look at what they are about to go through instead of the blessing. They know not what is on the other side, and they know not if it is worth it to take such a perilous journey.
53. "Tell them the story of My love that they may understand the great blessings that are ahead, and then they may choose. For these are the days of choices, and many shall choose to cross but there will be those that choose to remain. And yea, I say unto you, those that choose Me above all else will be highly blessed and highly honored." (End of prophecy.)
Man's Struggle Throughout the Ages!
54. (Prophecy:) "Throughout all the ages of man the struggle has been between leaning upon the arm of the flesh and leaning upon the power of God. All of My children from the beginning until now have struggled with leaning upon their own strength in their service unto Me, or leaning upon Me to perform their service. For they struggle, feeling that they must do this and they must do that, and they have not fully understood that I wish for their service to be done through My power and My strength and My might.
55. "Always in My service there is so much to do, for the harvest is plenteous but the laborers are few, and My Spirit compels them to do all that must be done. But they feel they must do it in their power and in their might, and they have not sought Me and My power, nor trusted Me and My power. They have not fully understood all My power can do through the power of prayer, through the power of My Word, through the power of My direction.
56. "And those few who have understood and who leaned upon My power in prayer and who sought Me in all things have accomplished more than any men, for they operated in the power of My Spirit. For the power and might of God is so strong, yet My children do not tap into it nearly as much as they could. This has been the battle throughout the ages.
57. "I would that My children be not so strained and burdened. When they have a problem with their children, they should pray and seek Me. And when they have a problem in their Home, they should pray and seek Me. And when they have a problem with their outreach, they should pray and seek Me. When they have a problem with their finances, they should pray and seek Me. And when they have a problem with those in their Home, they should pray and seek Me, for I do have answers. I do have the strength. I do have the power. It is there.
58. "But oh, you work so hard. And, oh, you toil and strain and struggle, but My yoke is easy and My burden is light. These burdens were not designed for you to carry, for they are My burdens. You are My children. For does not the father of the household take care of the heavy burdens of the household and carry the weights of the household? Does he not supply the needs of the household? Does he not supply the protection of the household? And does he not decide the weighty matters? He doth not ask the children to decide these things or to defend the house or to supply for the house, for he loves his children, and he wishes to supply for them and protect them and keep them. He wishes to answer their questions and help them to grow, to teach them. So it is with Me.
59. "So let Me be your Father. Let Me carry the burden. Bring it unto Me. Ask of Me and seek Me, for I promise to show you and to give you those answers that ye seek, that you may find true rest in Me.
60. "So let Me do the work, and seek Me, and hear My voice, and do those things that I show you, that ye shall know that it is by My Spirit that these things are accomplished, and thus shall I receive the praise and the honor and the glory that I deserve.
61. "And, yea, it is humbling to come before Me and admit that you need these answers. And it will be humbling for you to see My power in comparison to your own. But in humility is great peace. And in humility is great rest. So come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. I will give you the rest of My answers, and the rest of My strength, and the rest of My power, if ye will but seek Me, if ye will but hear My voice, and if ye will operate according to My plan.
62. "So rest in Me and be freed from the heavy burdens. For though the questions may not go away, the answers can flow forth in great abundance if ye will but tap into the source, My Spirit. For in Me is great power, and in Me is all that ye need, for I am all in all, and I am here for you." (End of prophecy.)
The Promised Land Beyond Jordan!
63. (Prophecy:) "The Promised Land is the land of My Spirit, the land of My power, the land of My strength, the land where My children no longer need to struggle in the arm of the flesh to do the things that they seek to do as they desire to accomplish My will. For it is a place in the spirit where My children shall be empowered with a greater power and a greater anointing, where they shall have rest from their labors, where they will have tapped into the power of My Spirit and where they will operate in the power of My strength, and thus will receive My blessings. For they will operate in harmony and in unison with those in the Spirit, and thus will have a new power, a new strength and a new anointing. And this will bring forth a new joy and a new peace and a new rest, no longer struggling, no longer striving, no longer weary.
64. "For when the children of Israel crossed the Jordan, they still had much to do. They had to conquer the whole Promised Land. But as they stayed close to Me and cried out to Me, I defeated their enemies. Yea, they went forth to battle, they put in some effort, but they sought Me and I gave them instructions, and they always won as long as they stayed close to Me and sought Me. For they were assured of victory if they battled according to My plan.
65. "For I work in many ways, and if you will seek Me and cry out to Me, and if you will love Me and praise Me, and if you will grasp all that I am saying, My power and My Spirit will work in even greater and stronger ways than it did for the children of Israel in their Promised Land.
66. "And even as Moses was taken from the children of Israel right before they crossed the Jordan, so has your Moses been taken from you. For it was also a new day for them, a day to come out of the desert of hardship, the desert of famine, into the land of plenty. And so it is with you.
67. "For as time marches closer to the End, so must My children be empowered by My Spirit in a new and greater way. But I can only empower those who make the decisions to put Me first, that make the decisions to trust Me with all of their hearts. And yea, now I put decisions before My children through the Charter, for I have designed it that they must decide what they will do. And for some, it will be a series of little decisions, of little choices whether to say yes unto Me, whether to yield--yield to My Spirit and yield to My Word and yield to the words of their queen. For others it is a big test. For everyone is different, but everyone must make their choices.
68. "So call unto the others and say, 'Yes, come over! This is the way to go! This is the strength of the Spirit of God! This is where you will find rest to your souls, and this is where the blessings of God will be made manifest in a new and greater way. So come! Cross over to the power of the Spirit! Come! Cross over to the might of God! Come! Cross over to blessings and plenty! Come! Cross over where your David hath trod.'" (End of prophecy.)
The Power of Saying Yes!
69. (Prophecy:) "Without faith it is impossible to please Me. And if thou canst see the way, or if thou knowest all that is ahead, then the decision is not one of faith, but one of knowledge and one of understanding and one of clarity. But when thou seest not what is ahead, but thou sayest, 'Yes, I will follow anyway, and I will take the step because Thou hast said this is what Thou requirest of me,' this is great faith and it doth greatly please Me. And because I am well pleased with thee, so will I pour forth unto thee all that thou hast asked for. And so shall I bring thee into the rest of My Spirit that thou seekest.
70. "For he that is willing to say yes unto Me will find that I will say yes unto him. And he that is willing to give his heart unto Me will find that I will give unto him his heart's desire. As thou hast laid down thy life and hast said, 'Take me,' so will I take up thy life, and so will I strengthen thee, and so will I give thee the desires of thine heart. For he that pleaseth Me shall be pleased of Me, and shall receive of Me the blessings that I can pour forth, that I will pour forth, for thy step of faith. Such is the power of saying yes unto Me." (End of prophecy.)
Marching Forth to a New Day!
71. (Prophecy:) "These are weary in well doing, for they have fought a good fight, they have struggled against hardship, they have struggled in defeat. And yet they have not surrendered, and for this I am well pleased. And the lessons that they have learned through defeat shall be lessons that will bring them unto victory.
72. "This is My message unto these ones, My darlings, My beloved, in whom I am well pleased. I say unto you, ye have not begun to see the victories that I am going to bring forth. These days of struggle and these days of defeat shall be a thing of the past, and ye shall remember them no more, for the victories that are ahead. But before honor is humility. For as ye enter into this new day, ye shall do so with a greater anointing and a greater power and in greater faith, and in the days to come ye shall understand all that ye have been through.
73. "And I shall wipe the tears from your eyes, and I shall wipe the hurt from your heart, and I shall wipe the strain from your bodies. Ye shall have rejoicing instead of sorrow, and ye shall have peace instead of turmoil, and ye shall have My power instead of your strength. For ye have been through the night, and now ye shall enter into the daylight.
74. "So lift up your eyes, lift up your heads and gird yourselves about with faith. For ye shall now march forth victorious into the new day and into the sunlight of My love as shining lights, as soldiers of My realm, the realm of the King of all kings, and ye shall march unto victory. For in your weakness I shall make you strong, and ye shall have victory all the day long." (End of prophecy.)
Forever Young with the Fountain of Youth!
75. (Prophecy:) "I stir the waters and dredge up all that is settled and bring it up and expose it, that it may be filtered through the sieve of testing and of trial, that it may be made pure and clean and fresh and re-aerated. For water that lieth still loses its sweetness. It becomes flat, for it is not filled with My air. But it must be stirred and it must be splashed about so that it can once again come to life. And so it is with these that I test and that I try, I stir the waters. And it dredgeth up some of the mud and some of the silt and some of the unsavory things, that these can be seen and filtered out.
76. "But this must needs be so that the water can be made fresh once again and alive and thirst-quenching, and that it may be cleansed and filtered. And some say, 'Oh, but I like the flat water, the water that is still, that moveth not, and I am comfortable with this. Do not stir me up.' But I say that without the stirring they receive not the life of the air of God that reinvigorates and re-aerates these still waters.
77. "So when you look upon one that is being tested and tried, pray for them and encourage them. Encourage them to hold on and to realize that I am breathing My air into them, My breath, My Spirit, that they may once again come alive. For My church must be made of those that have life abundant, life of the Spirit. And those that are sedate and immovable, I stir them up, I challenge them. And they must decide, 'Yes, yes! I will go forth with this challenge!' Or, 'No, I have had enough and I am so settled down.'
78. "For the old must make way for the new. But who are the old? The old are only those who will not change, who will not allow themselves to be stirred up, who will not take the step of faith, who will not trust Me. And who are the new? The new are those who drink in My New Wine, who trust, who say, 'Yes, I will go forth! I know not what is there, but I will go forth.'
79. "They that are old are not of a certain age, and they that are new and young are not of a certain age, for the newness or the oldness is a matter of the spirit. For those who will allow themselves to be stirred up, these are they that are new and young. And those that say, 'No, no, stir me not up, for I am comfortable and I am happy with the way it is,' these are old.
80. "But those who feel old and think, 'No, but I am old. I am old in spirit and I find the changes hard and the new things difficult,' I say unto you that before you stands the fountain of youth. For the fountain of youth is the will of God, and to receive of it and to drink of it you must only say yes--yes to My will, yes to that which I bring your way, yes to My new words, yes to Me and all that I would ask of you. If ye will do this thing, ye shall be young in spirit all the days of your life, and ye shall have the fountain of youth.
81. "So come unto Me, young and old, and, lo, I will make you all young, even as those who enter into the Heavenly realm are once again young and rejuvenated and revitalized because they are in the Spirit. I say unto you, the Spirit of God is the fountain of youth. And you shall be as a new creature, as a young bottle, and as a young and radiant bride. Yea, ye shall be forever young!" (End of prophecy.)
Encouragement from Dad!
82. (Prophecy, Dad speaking:) "I know you're struggling, but the struggle ends when you lay it all down and just say okay.--When you really lay it down. I know you can do it.
83. "And all of you, let us help you. We're all here. You have a great company of great men and women. You wouldn't believe how many you have and the power and the strength that is there, and the wisdom and the guidance that is there. But you've got to use it, folks. You've got to stop, you've got to look, you've got to listen.
84. "But you don't get those answers in the midst of the muddle, but when you pull back and spend time together fellowshipping and loving the Lord, singing unto Him and praising Him and seeking Him. Folks, that's where the strength lies. That's where the power is. Don't forget it, because you just can't do it any other way." (End of prophecy.)
