The Father says today: "I know the way through your wilderness - all you have to do is follow. I'm not calling you to be successful but to be obedient. Obedience is the one thing you can offer up to Me that I will receive in good measure and render a blessing to you in return. The world is a fallen environment, and there will be periods of difficulty, even as one passes through a turbulent sea. Even so, I will calm the storm, and surely I will subdue the very afflictions that seek to overwhelm you. The waves of adversity that rise against you, I will strike down. The depths of despair that threaten to consume you, I will cause to recede and dry up. Know this: the arrogance of those who oppose you will be diminished, and the instruments of their dominance will be removed. I would not and will not allow you to be subjugated by the illegitimate authority of those who don't see you the way I see you.

Prophet Russ - I believe God makes pathways through my deepest trials - Today!

Do not be afraid when the waters rise, for I will make a way where there seems to be no way. The forces that appear insurmountable will yield before My power. The pride that exalts itself against you will be brought low. The authority that seeks to control you will be stripped away. Expect My timely intervention, for I am your constant support in times of trouble. Remember that the challenges you face are not meant to destroy you but to demonstrate My strength on your behalf. The crossing of difficult seas will not drown you; instead, it will reveal My sovereignty over every circumstance. Daily in your life, I orchestrate the removal of those profound obstacles that seem impossible for you to overcome. No demon, no human power can ultimately stand against My purposes for you; I will bring you out and lift you up and put your feet in a sure place. I am your refuge and your strength, a very present help in times of need. Therefore, be encouraged; I am working even now to bring you through and to establish My victory in your situation.

The Father says today: Know this: I am the one who orchestrates your restoration, redemption, and recovery in the midst of even the most difficult circumstances and the disappointments of life! Even as I once brought My people back from the land of Egypt and gathered them out of Assyrian captivity. I will, in the same way, bring you again to a place of abundance and provision, a land flowing with sustenance, even to Gilead and Lebanon. What do those locales represent? Refreshing and resources - that I have for you to put you over in life! Do not think that My resources are limited, for there will be ample supply for you. Understand that My power extends to every corner of the earth, and My will is to assemble and restore those who are Mine. Your present circumstances are no predictor of what's about to happen, for I am stepping into your situation for miracles and blessings beyond your expectations. So don't plan your tomorrows based on the limitations of today, but on the sure promise of My word! Trust in My ability to bring about your restoration, for it is My intention and My promise. Do not be discouraged by feelings of displacement or being far from where you believe you should be. I am actively working to bring you to the place I have prepared for you.

Prophet Russ - I trust in God's power to gather and restore according to His promises - Today!

God says I am giving you safe passage from the place of difficulty or bondage, just as I led My people through the sea with Pharaoh's army being destroyed in the process. Obstacles that appear insurmountable, like mighty waves, but they will be subdued by My hand. The very depths of despair and trouble will be dried up before you. Those who operate in pride and oppression against you to bring against you forces that seek to hold you captive will be brought low; their illegitimate authority over you will cease. Remember My past acts of faithful deliverance in your life and even in the ancient record of My word, for they are a testament to My character and My unwavering commitment to those I call My own and that includes you. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. Therefore, have confidence that I will accomplish this gathering and bringing back in your life. It is not a matter of if, but when. Look forward with expectation to the place I am preparing for you, a place of fullness and peace.

Even now, amidst your questions and the confusion that clouds your mind, know this with absolute certainty: you are neither lost nor forgotten. Your life will unfold, and your children, your descendants, will also experience the fullness of life. A significant turning is at hand, a restoration of the blessings and favor you once knew and for which you now earnestly seek. Redemption and complete restoration are your destined inheritance. This is My unwavering intention and My solemn promise. The distances that currently separate you are not permanent barriers. My hand will reach across every border, every division, to gather you back. Understand this: wherever you find yourself in this present season, you remain within the encompassing scope of My care and My divine plan. Your experiences in these diverse places hold profound purpose, shaping you and preparing you for the appointed time of gathering. Do not lose heart in your present location, for it is fertile ground where My seed resides within you, patiently awaiting the season of growth and abundant return.

I will not diminish your unique identity; rather, I will sow you into the earth like a precious seed, so that My influence may spread through you. Even in faraway lands, your thoughts will turn toward Me; you will hold Me in your heart. You and your children will not only endure but will experience a renewal, a turning back to Me, even among those loved ones who have defiantly turned away. You have called for change, but understand that true transformation often blossoms not in the comfort of stability, but through periods of instability and the absence of earthly assurance, as I work My sure promise in your life. The challenges you are currently facing are temporary. My ultimate purpose is to bring you back from this scattering to the secure embrace of the Fold, where I am your steadfast and unwavering Shepherd. Know, without a doubt, that neither you nor those you deeply care about are beyond My reach or My profound concern. The homecoming you long for is drawing near. When pressures intensify, remain clear-headed and steadfast in your faith. Refuse to lose heart in your present placement, for it is the very soil where the seeds of your future reunion are being sown. Trust Me fully for the hundredfold return promised through the sacrifice of Calvary. This is the word of God.
