YOU WILL NOT
BE left behind 5/30/09
QUICKENED CONVERSATIONS: Anna and I drove down
the river to eat lunch at a place where they also have
boat rides. When we arrived they had no table with a
river view. So we sat at a table until one came
available and then asked to move. The waitress said “I
will clean up the table and
I promise no one will
take your place.” One moment following that,
the Lord opened my ears to hear the conversation of a
lady sitting behind us. She told someone,
“I promise they will
hold the boat for you, they will not leave without you.”
Acts 27:21-25 NKJV
And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be
no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For
there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom
I belong and whom I serve, 24 saying, 'Do not be afraid,
Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God
has granted you all those who sail with you.' 25
Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it
will be just as it was told me.
WORDS TO PONDER ABOUT NOT BEING LEFT BEHIND
YOU WILL NOT BE LEFT BEHIND 8/9/97
Even though you are isolated and set apart at this time,
know that it is I Who have called you. I promise you
that you shall come behind in no gift, and great shall
your borders extend. Have courage to trust in Me and I
will bring many hungry people to your bounty.
“For I will cast out the nations before thee, and
enlarge thy bordersneither shall any man desire thy
land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD
thy God thrice in the year.” (Ex 34:24 KJV)

ENJOY THE HARVEST 3/20/97
I AM bringing to
harvest everything that which I have planted in the
earth. And there will come a day when you will see this
harvest very close to your own field. As you watch the
fruit of others being harvested and taken for use,
remember your time is coming. Enjoy their fruit and do
not feel condemnation that your field is still waiting.
You are in the season, but it takes a long time for the
trucks to drive to each field and work their way
through. “And where is My field?” you ask, feeling poor
in spirit. You are not being left behind. Your field
is the hidden fruits of your life and your heart. While
you wait for your fruit to come forth, if you are hungry
you may enjoy the reapings of others, for there is
harvest enough for all.
“When you
harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain
along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what
the harvesters drop. Leave it for the poor and the
foreigners living among you. I, the LORD, am your God.”
(Lev 23:22 NLT)

EMPTY NEST 4/9/00
You have heard of the poem, “There are two lasting gifts
you can give your children. One is roots and the other
is wings.” I know this has been close to your heart
being given both in your own life. And now that a
generation has passed and you have given your children
both, you wonder if your assignment is done. Far from
it, My child! I hear you asking, “What’s next, Papa?”
Did you forget that I too have given you roots and
wings? You will not be left behind, My love. Rather,
you will be flying with your children. Together you
shall enjoy My anointing and together you shall be
lifted up into My Presence. So take courage and hope in
your heart that I am not through with you yet. We have
just begun, the best is yet to come.
“You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I
bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.”
(Ex 19:4-5 NKJV)

BUILDING A
FUTURE AND A HOPE 2/5/02
Sometimes you think you are spinning your wheels
harvesting My Words and preparing them for another
generation. I promise you that they will want and need
My Words through you, and your time and effort are well
worth it. You are investing your life into these My
sons, and the journey set before them is tailor made
like a glove to a hand.
So rest now My love and relax knowing you are doing
exactly what I have called you to do. And I promise you
that you shall not be left behind. I promise you that
you shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.
I promise you that you shall release My power and virtue
to many, and that you shall be fully satisfied with the
fulfillment of all your hopes and dreams of My glory in
end time ministry. For I know the plans that I have for
you and they are to give you a future and a hope. No
good thing will I withhold from them that walk
uprightly. My love, I am so please with you. Rest now
in My love and put the trumpet to your mouth. Blow it
loud and blow it clear. Tell them where you’ve been and
where they are going.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to
give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon
Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me
with all your heart.” (Jer 29:11-14 NKJV)

YOU WILL NOT BE LEFT BEHIND 12/11/03
Dear ones, I hear your deepest concerns as you watch
others soar in their faith and operate in their gifts.
You wonder what is wrong with you and if you will ever
obtain what has freely been offered to all. At times
you are desperate. Then you feel left out and wonder
why you even try. The enemy is trying to undermine your
faith and hoping that you will give up. However the
opposite is true. His attempts only make you stronger.
I want you to understand this issue from My point of
view. I AM building a permanent temple with living
stones. Each stone is perfectly hewn for its place.
Beloved, all the carving is done before the setting.
Laying all issues aside except for this, I want you to
hear Me very clearly. There is only one place for you.
No one can fit in that place except you. It is a place
designed and prepared. Now why do you think I would
leave you behind? You are vital to the placement for
all those around you, and vital to those stones who will
later be built upon the foundation I have laid in your
life. I will not leave you behind. Do you understand?
John 14:18 NLT
No, I will not abandon you as orphans--I will come to
you.
1 Peter 2:5 NLT
And now God is building you, as living stones, into
his spiritual temple.

FAITHFUL PARENTS 2/28/04
My dearest nurturing ones, you have built a stairway for
your children to ascend higher than you were able to
climb yourself. Your own plans and desires have become
sacrifices laid at My feet, that you might bring those
you love into their places. How beautiful is your sweet
smelling aroma, your very life poured out! As you stand
before the place to which your children have risen, I
say to you, “Come!” The door is open and it is My
pleasure to bring you into your own place. You not only
built the stairway for your progeny, but you have also
built the stairway to your own dreams. Yes you climbed
and climbed believing Me all the way. Trust Me that I
will bring you through this door of destiny and you
shall not be left behind. Your sacrifices shall be
known throughout eternity. Thank you, My faithful
parents.
Hab 3:17-19 NKJV
Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on
the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, and
the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut
off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls --
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of
my salvation. The LORD God is my strength; He will
make my feet like deer's feet, and He will make me walk
on my high hills. |
