Thus
says the Lord, the Holy One
of Israel, "In returning
and rest you will be saved.
In quietness and in confidence
shall be your strength".
Isaiah 30:15
I am the same Lord who
spoke from the beginning
of time, especially to My
Hebrew people. Chosen to
witness and to lead the
peoples of the world to
knowledge and truth and
joy, to be pillars of the
kingdom of the Father. Moses,
Elijah, Isaiah and the rest
- through them I spoke and
ministered and led, and
through the faithful of
each age.
And this message of hope
and of salvation and encouragement
along the way I speak to
the faithful of all ages
- would that they would
heed and find their peace
and progress , especially
when their personal or national
times are contrary. Some
indeed do, but I look for
the many.
Did I not show in My earthly
life the value of withdrawal
and solitariness in the
midst of demanding work
and ministry ? It is essential
that each and every one
of the Father's loving ,
committed children seek
the circumstances of quietness
to draw deeply from the
waters of the well of our
presence where the Father
presides, I minister and
our Holy Spirit illuminates
and guides. And this must
be a daily discipline and
joy if progress is to be
made in the life of the
Kingdom both for the sake
of the health and development
of the soul and for the
right orientation and empowering
for the work to be done.
And the community of souls
of the Father's Kingdom
on earth would be mightily
enriched if each drank deeply
daily at the well of our
Presence , for each would
meet with others likewise
involved - to their mutual
benefit and strength and
joy.
