As I was praying Tuesday, the Lord started to speak to me and told me to share the word that he spoke.
I am your habitation. Stand in me my son and do not be moved. I am the same and those things which I have promised, all that I have spoken shall come to pass as I have shurly spoken it. This peoples heart has grown fat, their ears dull for they love this life, my ways are far from them. Let it be heard this day, let every ear that hears my voice declare that I am God and I come quickly.
Gird up your loins, stand fast before me. I am strong. I am God. The people shall tremble and the isles fear. The mountains shall be moved from their place. Look to me you of a humble heart. Look to me you of a contrite spirit. I am your way, I shall light your path. Look, search out the old paths and see if I am not the same. For that which I have established shall no man tear down and that which I have made a desolation shall no man build again. My rest, your peace. Do not faint in the way. Drink of me you thirsty and thirst no more. I am a deep well, an everlasting river. I do not run dry. Eat this day of my meat, that which proceeds only from my mouth. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the words of my mouth. The mountains shall you move, the oceans shall you part. The heavens shall be shut up by the words you speak. The dead shall hear and rise. The sick, diseased, and lame will be made whole. I make your paths strait. I am your reward, your treasure in heaven, for where I am there is your heart also. Trust in me for I am faithful.
And I asked the Lord just for a scripture for confirmation and the Lord said Jeramiah 6....
JER 6:1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
JER 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
JER 6:3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
JER 6:4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
JER 6:5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
JER 6:6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
JER 6:7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
JER 6:8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
JER 6:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
JER 6:10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
JER 6:11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
JER 6:12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
JER 6:13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
JER 6:14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
JER 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
JER 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
JER 6:17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
JER 6:18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
JER 6:19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
JER 6:20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
JER 6:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
JER 6:22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
JER 6:23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
JER 6:24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
JER 6:25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
JER 6:26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
JER 6:27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
JER 6:28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
JER 6:29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
JER 6:30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
I know now is a trying time, but I know that the trial of our faiths is precious. Today is the day of salvation, now is the accepted time. May every man work out his own salvation before God, for before God only will you stand or fall. The Lord also gave me an understanding about him being our refuge and him being our peace( Which was just that. He is our refuge and he is our peace if we hold fast and enter in). This time is short we must hold fast to what we have, we must stand and not be moved. I do pray that we are found worthy, that those things which remain would be strengthened in us. Let us not be weary but run to God and thirst no more.
To God be the Glory, your brother,
Austin

Amen Austin.
"I am your habitation" stirs my spirit. I was just recently reading in Psalms, and Psalm 4:8 stood out to me-
"I will both lay me down in peace and sleep:for thou Lord only makest me dwell in safety."
If we dwell in Him our souls will have, rest, peace, and provision. These truths are comforting and uplifting, but we must be obedient before we can partake of the promises.
God bless,
Rachel
