Dear John and Five Dovers

Thank you, John, for sending the articles and for the time/energy you spend maintaining the site.

The looking for and anticipation of Jesus' return has sustained me in many times.

It has been a real growth process, especially as I experienced many times of excitement only to be followed by disappointment.  The purifying in my heart centers around the truth that though it is OK to long for Him to fully manefest, I have Him fully present even now.

I often sense the Spirit pressing me with something like : "How will you live before Me in this moment?  I want you to trust Me, even for how long your wait is.  I, as the 'I Am', am, right now, fully present to you and within you because of what Jesus accomplished.  Know my peace in all the suffering and chaos you witness.  It will get much worse.  But "Cease striving, let go, relax, and know, truly know, that I am God.  I see all hearts clearly.  I know the extreme deceptions taking place in the spirit realm, in the media, in governments, and within each heart.  And yet in all of this, I reign.  I am El Elyon, God most High.  All will sincerely praise Me and fully love Me at the consumation when the last enemy, death, including the 'second death' that many will experience, will be abolished.  That will take places in a future age far off.  Yet now?  Do not set your mind on the what you perceive/believe as the interests/things of man, like Peter did and was rebuked by Jesus because its source was actually of the evil one, but set your heart and mind on the things of God, for only in Me are the interests of man truly and fully met in the profound goodness and righteousness that comes only from Me.  People do not truly need better circumstances, they truly need only Me.  And only I know how to humble the haughty/proud heart and am capable of doing so with anyone, at any moment of My choosing.  Some I harden at this time, some I soften.  My ways are so beyond what you can comprehend, you must know that the only way you can enjoy my peace is to trust me like a child.  Do not worry about holding my hand, because I always am holding yours.  When it is all said and done, you will almost explode with joy.  But for now?  In experiencing, in part, the sufferings of Christ who is Love, you will also experience, in part, His crushing at the crucifixion and His rejection by men.  Know intimate fellowship with Me in your love-based sufferings.  And also know, in Jesus' death you have already died, in His burial, entombed from all that is going on in the world, is a burial that is also yours right now, in His resurrection your spirit has already been fully and truly raised, and right now you are actually seated with Me in celestial places.  On my throne, beside Me, there is only peace, love, and joy.  All of that is fully in you right now because I am in you right now.  So rest child, all is under my control.  Trust me with all of your heart.  Do not lean on your own understanding.  In each moment, live fully from Me.  I am leading you just as I did Abraham who had no clue where he was going.  I am your Light.  Be wise about searching for light apart from this rest, for if you are trying to understand what is going on in the world with your human comprehension, you will only be seeing the extremes of darkness.  Yet also know, My dawning will come right on time.  The truly perfect time.  Now?  I require only one thing of you.  Trust Me.  To taste of the overcoming life, you must have the faith of a child who is  sleeping on my lap, oblivious to all around it because it is enough to be in my arms."

It is subtle, this distinction.  To live by faith in a reality that is so true right now, and so profound, yet at this season is not obvious to my senses and my very small human capacity to comprehend, while also longing for it to become fully manefested in the earth, while not knowing for sure, exactly when . . .

Sincerely,

Douglas Henney
