From this morning (8/13/08):
Word
Settle it in your heart that I am who I say I am, that I will give you the words to speak and that My word will not return unto Me void. I am with you always, giving you understanding in all things by My Spirit. I tell you, I require that you answer every man as My Spirit gives utterance in these times. For the day comes quickly when My Spirit will no longer strive with man, but this day I tell you truly the Spirit is willing. Let the gifts of the Spirit be stirred up within you that you may walk in power and authority, making your calling and election sure. Be instantly in season, allowing all things to be revealed by My Spirit. Give the weak food that they may eat and live. To those who I put before you, I tell you speak that they may turn from the flesh and seek My face while there is yet time. I will not hold back. I will not keep any good thing from those who desire to know Me and hear My voice.
Continue in prayer always, knowing that I hear your every cry and that I do answer you when you call. Desire to know My will for your life and remember that you are not your own. I have ordered your steps and I have set you on the path that you should walk on. I have gone before you to make a way where there doesn't seem to be a way, that no weapon formed against you can prosper, but you must trust in Me for all things. It is by My hand that you are protected. It is My will that you be provided for. But only those who think not on their own life, who think not on what they should eat or drink, will be able to receive all that I have for them. It is by faith that men can please me, believing Me and allowing Me to account it unto them for righteousness.
Be strengthened My people, allowing not yourselves to become weary in well-doing. Now is the time when the minds of the saints will be worn out but it is My will that you keep your eyes fixed on Me that nothing can come upon you unaware. In My presence there is rest and peace. Entering in by faith and walking according to the leading of My Spirit is the only way to enter in to the fullness of what I have for you. Do not delay. Do not hold back. Do not slumber for darkness comes and many have fallen asleep. Be ready, keeping yourselves unspotted from the world and not allowing your liberty to be an occasion to stumble. I will keep you and I will see to it that your foot slips not if you only trust in Me and allow Me to be your Shepherd (leading you where you should go).
Love in Him,
Ryan

Amen Ryan.
In our faithful waiting, we possess our very soul. Keeping ourselves pure and unspotted from the world. Having acknowledged our "sin nature", examining ourselves, judging our every thought, our every motive, we die to ourselves, that the Anointing, the Holy Spirit, will have reign in our lives. Not just in word only, but in reality.
Some are ever seeking, never coming to the knowledge of truth. They can't find it because it takes faith, not works. No one can work hard enough to actually please God or find the way to truth. We please God by believing Him, believing His words that lead to communion/fellowship/friendship with Him.
Most "Christians" are like Naaman before Elisha. Give them a great task and they would die trying to perform it. Give them something simple and they cannot understand that it is trust/faith that moves/pleases God, that allows us to enter into the "Rest". They don't like the water they are told to be cleansed in, to flow over them. They think that what they have is better, above reproach, more respectable. Unlike Naaman, they never enter in to "Life" in the Holy Spirit/River of God. They think that the easy yoke of God is in word only, pleasing the flesh, the sense of accomplishment. Not ever making the connection that the yoke is spiritually heard/applied by faith.
Unbelief, keeps us from walking on water, being full of the Holy Spirit and doing the actual will of God. As Jesus said, "Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
