Look up, beloved, for I tell you truly that the clouds of confusion are going to part and and you will step into the clear light of day. You are about to see with great clarity. The issues that have caused to you wonder what to do next will become crystal clear, and you will know exactly what your next step must be. Answers to your questions will come suddenly, but might not be what you expected. Get ready to receive, says the Lord.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Trust God's Leading
Watch for the enemy to use situations against you to intimidate you and cause you to be afraid that you have made the wrong choice. But, I say to you, do not give in to these temptations to question your own judgment. I have led you thus far, and I will continue to take you into the place that I have appointed for you. Do not be afraid of what may seem to be overwhelming odds and insurmountable challenges, for I am with you to bring you through to absolute victory, says the Lord.
1 Samuel 17:40-46 Then he (David) took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine. So the Philistine (giant) came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good–looking. So the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!" Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. "This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel."

Transitioning Without Distractions
Refuse to be distracted by the strange discomfort that tries to get you off balance. Transition is never easy or comfortable, but if you will stay focused on what you know to be truth and light and continue to trust Me, it won't be long until you come through to a new level of stability. You will arise to greater insights and revelation and will find new strength to move forward. You will also find renewed courage to accomplish all that I have set before you, says the Lord.
Psalms 27:14 Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!

God Protects And Provides. He Delights In Our Praise!
Tonight, my parents and younger brother had Communion and prayer time together before I leave tomorrow, and it was truly a blessing! We’d been praying for blessings, peace, and a vision for our future (individually and collectively as a family). After a wonderful time in prayer, we remained silent and listened for God to speak. Often, I hear from God through pictures/visions. Tonight, I saw and heard the following:
A drummer boy beats his drum, sending praise to God. A face (presumably God’s) smiles out from the clouds, with a bright light (and possibly a rainbow?) shining down on the boy. “God delights in our praise, and is grateful for our praise and thanksgiving. We honor God through our praise.”
A lion’s face emerges from a fire, looking fierce. The lion leaps from the fire and a field of wheat, followed by a tiger who also leaps away, looking terrified of what’s behind the animals. A boy runs after them, wielding a rock in a sling. “God will protect us (presumably from evil).”
A deer eats grass from behind a large oak tree. It peers up at me while eating. The deer has been protected from the lion and the tiger. “God has and will continue to protect and provide for us.”
A sacrificial lamb is held in two hands. “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world,” is repeated continuously.
"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers." ~Ephesians 4:11
Everything I saw and heard tonight I believe to be God’s Words to me/us over this upcoming year. What a positive message to receive!
Heavenly Father, as I prepare for bed I thank You for the wonderful blessings You’ve bestowed upon my family, and for the fantastic time You provided for us to share over the past two-and-a-half weeks. Thank You for providing us with peace and assurance that You are our Protector and Provider – that You are our Healer and Deliverer! I praise You, Lord! Please reveal to me the reason You brought Ephesians 4:11 to my mind tonight, that I may better understand Your message to me. I love You, Lord!
