It may appear that things are dragging - Nothing is further from the truth...!

A message from God to you. You passed a few major tests this week. Some you were aware of, some you weren't. From your view, it may appear as if things are dragging along. Nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, you've taken MAJOR steps over the past weeks. No longer is this a test about your effort, nor your ability to have faith or even persevere. Now God is fortifying your integrity and solidifying your character. Mind you, this is NOT about you being perfect, but it has everything to do with you striving to do the right things, for the right reasons, at the right times. Inasmuch, don't let that stress you out.

What's most important is what's in your heart, not your just your deeds. Not that good deeds don't matter, but your "WHY" is what's most important. It is written that only "the pure in heart" will see God - He sees all of "you". Know that both God and the Holy Spirit are ever present in ALL of your circumstances. As you continue purging your heart, more of His essence and more of God's presence will manifest itself upon, in, and around you. 

Consider this - "To be absent in the body is to be present with God."

Contrary to popular assumption that doesn't mean you have to die in order to connect with both Your Creator and The Holy Spirit. However, it does mean that you cannot continue to be a weakminded, ego-centric, carnal-minded hedonist. Point is, do your very best in all things at all times. And when you stumble, and you will stumble, just get back up again, dust yourself off and keep it moving.

You've asked for a sign. Here it is. This message is your evidence. It is the confirmation that God hears your prayers and He knows you're tired. He also knows you're ready for a break. Over the next 4 weeks, things are going to greatly accelerate. The substance of what you've been hoping for is manifesting before your very eyes right. The evidence of that which is not seen is being loosed in your life daily. Your job is to be still and know that God is God. He is not a man that He should lie.

It is written: “Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of men the "things" which God hath prepared for them that love Him.” 

"ALL" that you have been promised, ALL that you have to envision will soon come to pass. Use this short, brief, period of time to become one with yourself, and one with The Holy Spirit. Fret not, all of the "things" you need, and want, will be given to you sooner than you think.

From this point forward, begin your day by asking the Holy Spirit to order your steps. He is here to usher you toward a plethora of miracles which lie ahead. Lastly, Your Creator, He knows how much you love him, but the good news is He loves you so much more.

From God, to you, through me, Dr. D Ivan Young. Now, pray for me. I've already prayed for you. I love you. This is your day - Seize it!!!
