Enjoy the Fragrance of Roses

My Beloved Child,

The color has left your sweet face in the midst of intense trial. Distracted by worry, you have pulled away from Me again and neglected to nurture your soul. My Precious Child, would you take some time to get fresh air and smell the delightful aroma of roses today? Their sweet fragrance thrills your heart. Allow Me to restore your soul as we enjoy them together in the early morning light.

Like you, roses bring a sparkle to my eyes. I water and prune them with diligence so they flourish in the sunlight. When you receive my love, you will blossom in grace and majesty too.

My Darling Child, you are like a rose that carries the fragrance of my love. When I nourish you, the seed of destiny can grow and manifest beauty in your life. However, you must stop running from Me. My love is the source that nurtures your soul, and without it, you cannot grow in my majesty. Rest in my heart, My Beloved, and let me restore you with Heaven’s breath as I encircle you with my loving presence.

My Sweet Child, I am your adoring Father. I love you with a sacrificial and tender devotion that allows you to grow and mature in the freedom and safety of my heart. Though you have feared being known, open your heart to Me, and you will discover matchless beauty and unending joy—a place of liberty to walk on sandy shores and flowered pathways with Me.

So come, My Precious Child. Let’s inhale the sweetness of roses and delight in the beauty of my garden. Just for a little while. Let Me nourish your soul and revive you to newness of life. Will you inhale the fragrant aroma of roses with Me?

With All My Heart,

Your Loving Heavenly Father

Surrender Your Heart

My Beloved Child,

There is nothing I love more than to bless you with sweet gifts and make all your dreams come true. Unfortunately, you have a divided heart. My Sweet Child, I must be the center of your life. Yet, you wrestle with choosing your way instead of mine. In those moments, you push Me aside, and my heart aches. My Darling Child, I want all of you. When you choose Me and stay connected, I will keep you safe, renew your soul, and lead you to wholeness and healing.

My Beloved Child, will you pursue Me with an undivided heart? Will you separate from everything that destroys your mind, heart, and spirit? They are the “little things” you consider unimportant, but they are thoughts and choices that cause me pain. I implore you to reject them and devote your heart to Me.

Perhaps you believe you are too weak? On your own, you are. You are not equipped to cope with the storms of life without Me. Without my power, your efforts will only lead to failure and self-harm. When you operate through my love, you become dead to sin and alive in Me, and my mountain-moving power transforms you. My Precious One, you are no longer captive to your old nature. Embrace Me with all your heart, and I will restore you to newness of life.

My Sweet Child, my heart is yours. Will you love Me in return? Surrender your heart to Me, and I will take you deep in my love where many treasures of promise await you.

With All My Heart,

Your Loving Heavenly Father

Vision of the Golden Oil: Revival in the American Church

As I was praying, the Holy Spirit prompted me to pray for the spiritual refinement of the Body of Christ in America. Suddenly, the Holy Spirit took me into an open vision. I was looking at a map of the United States, and flames of fire arose from the map. They were tall, searing hot flames that covered the entire country. They were holy, glorious, and powerful. In that moment, the saints of God arose from the map and stood with arms raised in the middle of fire. Their eyes were closed, and their hands were lifted to Heaven. They were praying and worshiping with great fervency. The heat and smoke of God’s holy fire were present, but not a single flame scorched them. With heat on their faces, the American Church remained unharmed. They raised their heads toward Heaven, and the glory of the Lord shone upon them.

Then, I looked at the Heavenly light above, and as my gaze returned to the people, their position of surrender was the same – arms raised, eyes closed, and heads lifted to Heaven. But their appearance changed in the middle of the fire. They looked like people glowing with brilliant gold. I looked closer, and they were covered in golden oil. The flames continued to burn, but they were shining with joy in the midst of the fire. I was in awe of the light-filled image in front of me.

As I contemplated this scene, I knew that this new breed of people in the American Church were purified and set apart for this time (Isaiah 43:1-2; James 4:8). They were resplendent in the glorious power of the Holy Spirit for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).

I asked the Lord what this vision meant. He began speaking to me.

“This is a time of purification before my power is fully released in you. If my people will offer themselves to me in repentance and surrender, I will make you pure as gold, and the Oil of my Spirit will saturate your lives – cover your homes, your families, your churches, your cities, and your nation (Habakkuk 2:14). But you MUST STAND in the fire and allow My Spirit to burn away the chaff (Matthew 3:12) – to mark you with my purifying power (Ephesians 1:13). You MUST YIELD to my holy work in your heart (Romans 6:13). No more self-reliance. No more compromise with the world. No more building your own kingdoms. For MY GREAT MOVE will not be built by “might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord” (Zechariah 4:6).

Oh, My People in America, you say you want to see an outpouring of My Spirit. But you Must Not Rush my refiner’s fire in you. It will purify, strengthen, and sustain you. And then it will EMPOWER you with a limitless supply of MY OIL (Zechariah 4), so you will build MY KINGDOM – a work of MY HAND that will spread throughout the earth. When My Work is done in YOU, My Light will shine, the plumblines of my power will flow, and you will glisten in the earth with the golden oil of My Love. And I will build a Kingdom WITHOUT END.

My Dear Children, do not be afraid of my refiner’s fire in this hour. Hold Fast. Stand Firm. Pray Without Ceasing and Yield to My Spirit. I am working all things for your GOOD and MY GLORY (Romans 8:28-29). The preparation must be complete in this hour before the power flows through you (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17).”
