Matt 9:35-38  NKJV      The Compassion of Jesus    (Luke 10:2,3)
35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.   36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

Rev 22:1-5 NKJV    And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

“ I am about to offer an increase in alternative therapy for the masses of people in need.  FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things UNSEEN.  My people have been weary and scattered on the high hills because of the apostasy in the church.  But I will gather them to Myself and to one another through the outpouring of MY GRACE and MERCY.  So many lack FAITH. Even within My church that is called by My name, there is so much UNBELIEF.  I have been patient and I have waited for people to turn to ME, to turn from their wickedness. I have given many chances to many people to turn from their wickedness. 

Yet again I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh and you will see a FLOOD of Living Waters in the streets of your nations.  [ I had the impression of a great angel with a huge sickle over it’s head ready to reap ].  I am going to BURST FORTH LIKE A FLOOD UPON THE DRY GROUND, AND YOU WILL SEE AMAZING MIRACLES AND HEALINGS.  ONLY THEY WILL COME FROM UNLIKELY SOURCES.  THE DISCARDED FLOTSAM AND JETSOM OF THE CHURCH I WILL USE TO CAPTURE THE HEARTS OF MANY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN WILLING TO BE OF NO REPUTATION !
THEY HAVE BEEN WILLING TO YIELD ONLY TO ME.

Surely in a flood of many waters, I will carry you through to safety and refuge.  But you must be strong in the power of MY MIGHT, not your own.
Dependency on ME is vital to survival.  There isn’t much time left to learn this lesson.  The more you depend not just on your own will, but yield to My will, and ask ME the questions you put before men, then you will get the answers you need.

Many are running ahead of MY WILL and have been damaged by the ensuing
Lashbacks of the enemy forces.  When My Holy Spirit came the first time, the disciples were told to wait in the upper room, and they were ministering unto Me.  Will you do that ?  Will you lay down YOUR AGENDA and yield to ME.  What good can worrying do you ?  Will it increase your wisdom any ? Will your understanding improve ? Will you have all you need through worrying ?  DECLARE MY PROMISES. STAND ON THE WORD !  There is nothing I cannot do !  THERE IS NOTHING I CANNOT DO !  I am waiting for the YIELDING.  Will you YIELD to MY WILL ? 

I AM Your loving Father, and there is no one else like ME.  I do NOT get tired of your questions. I do not tire of your mistakes even.  Its’ not like I don’t know that you’re going to make them !  But yielding to MY WAYS, in obedience to MY WILL, will help you to overcome and to learn the lessons
I’m trying to get you through. Yes, I am testing, testing, testing. But what does it say in MY WORD ?”

James 1:2-8 NKJV   My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Heb 6:11-12 NKJV  And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

“ You also must yield to authority I have set over you as I lead.  There are some reversals, but watch how you react and do NOT give in to hatred and malice, murder and pride. Remember I AM the ONE Who orchestrates the raising up and putting down of leaders. I AM the ONE Who plucks out, and brings down kingdoms.  I raise up princes and bring down kings according to MY WILL.  Where is the people who will yield to their heavenly KING ?  Who will TREMBLE at MY PRESENCE ?  Have you become so familiar, that you forget I am the ALL – MIGHTY ONE OF ISRAEL ? 

It’s true I love you with an everlasting love, and that I will always love you.
It’s true that I WILL DEFEND YOU !  But I will also always do what is BEST for your character, not just what you want. Who told you it is your job to defend yourself against all discomfort? Against all judgments that I bring ?  YOU need to KNOW MY WAYS, and to understand what I am doing in your nation and in your people.  So come to ME to complain. Come to ME to cry out against the injustice and I will show you how to pray, I will empower you to DECLARE what I WANT DECLARED.”

1 Peter 2:13-25 NKJV   Submission to Government     (cf. Rom 13:1-5)
13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men —  16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

Submission to Masters  (Isa 53:7-9)
18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19 For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

22 "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth"; 
23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

“ REMOVE THE WALLS OF DEFENSE AROUND YOUR HEART !  Ask ME to help you remove all the defensive pride !  You are angry, but in your anger, you are not to sin.  But many are giving in to hatred, prejudice, murderous spirits and rage, that will not help you at all.  Doing what I tell you will accomplish what I want, but self defense is not wise beloved.  I AM YOUR DEFENSE !  CRY OUT TO ME !  REPENT for the sins of the nation.  REPENT for what I show you.  You are to be a part of implementing MY JUSTICE, but you are NOT to do it out of a hateful heart.  You are to love your enemies, to be good to those who hate you.  THAT is where I am taking you, to the place of love that I HAVE IN MY HEART !  Brokeness will lead to compassion that heals those around you.  Where you are no longer on the throne of SELF any longer !  So YIELD to MY will.  PRAISE ME IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES !  “
