“Prepare the way for Me with your worship. Draw Me near with your spirit and truth worship, for that is what I desire. Oh, how I long to dwell with My people in a greater way than you have experienced. I desire to rest upon My people. I desire to dwell with you, not visit, as in days of the past.

I long for My people to carry My fragrance into the deep, dark places of the earth – to allow the light of My glory to shine brightly. In order to carry My fragrance, you must be so near to Me. You know how when you are close to someone in the natural and they are wearing a manufactured fragrance, when you walk away, you can even smell their fragrance upon you. You smell it even after you have left their presence. So it is with Me. I desire to draw you so close to My heart that you may not only partake of My fragrance, but when you walk away from that secret place with Me, you will carry My fragrance upon you that others may taste of Me and My goodness towards them. “For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.” 2 Corinthians 2:15

Are you willing to pay the price? For to walk in what I am pouring out upon the earth is costly. It will cost you to give of your time. It may cost you your reputation. It will cost you to remove the idols in your heart. Sometimes it will even be an inconvenience to you when I call you to come be with Me, as when I called the Shulamite woman [Song of Solomon 5:3].Your hearts must be burning with passion for one thing….I am your One thing!

There will be places that I will send you that will grip your heart because of the destruction of the evil one in their lives. But know that I have sent you there to bring hope and to be dispensers of My love. For there have been social programs that have gone to these same places and have given material things, but I say it is not material things that they truly need – but spiritual truth of My love for them and My desire to heal and set free. Open your eyes! Look with My eyes and not what you see in the natural, for truly the fields are white for harvest!

So I say, worship Me. Worship Me. Worship Me, so that I may impart my heart desires into yours…that I may send you out with My love flowing wherever and to whomever I send you as messengers of My burning love for mankind. Build a place in your heart that I may dwell, for where I am, there is everything that you have need of [Matthew 6:8].”
