“Be not afraid to love those who seem to need it the least for I AM your reward. Some of the ways you love will not be rewarded on earth, but oh, I have a crown of righteousness stored up for 
you! Not one good thing you do on earth will be forgotten in Heaven for all these things I make note of in the Books of Heaven. You will be surprised at some of the things you thought were so small and you may even forgot about. But when you come to receive your eternal rewards, that which you thought was small was actually large in the Kingdom of Heaven. No, not one thing done in the name of love goes unnoticed by Heaven. When you love, you partner with Heaven. You open a way for a little of Heaven to be expressed on earth. So be not afraid to partner with Me in the days of darkness, hate and oppression, for love always wins. Yes, love always win for I AM love and My seed is within you!
Prophetic Word
Walk and Remain in Love – Karen Austin
“Love is a strong force that not even hate can overcome. Even death cannot overcome love. This is a truth that you must grasp in these last days for love will shield you. Love will guide you. Love will be your reward. [Song of Solomon 8:6-7 & Luke 6:35 NIV]
Be a people who refuse to let go of love, for the love of many will grow cold [Matthew 24:12]. But those who are Mine will remain vibrant and alive because of My divine love flowing through them. Where you see love, you will always see My heart and My will. Those who walk in My love will be a sign post to others pointing to Me. For the world would say, “How can you still love after all that was done?” “How can you love God after all that you have been through?” Oh, but they have no idea of the pure love between a Father and his child. It will be My love flowing in you and through 
you that will empower you to carry on.
Those who remain in love will shine bright in a world of darkness. Their light will not go out but will live on in the lives of others, for love is eternal” [1 Corinthians 13:8 GNT].
“Then the godly ones will shine like the brightness of the sun in their Father’s kingdom realm.” Matthew 13:43
Will you believe the lie? – Gary Florence
Several months ago I was sitting in church and out of nowhere I heard within side of me “You have no voice.” I knew it was a lie but it was so convincing and felt so real that I allowed it to silence me. If we believe a lie long enough it can become truth to our emotions. Week after week I would go and just be quiet not saying anything, then about 3 weeks ago I heard “If you will humble yourself under God’s arm in His timing He will lift you up.” I kept hearing this verse over and over then one day I believed the Lord said to me “You need to humble yourself and ask your church family for help.”
I grew up in a culture that asking for help was a sign of weakness. When I was younger and played sports I remembered when I would get hurt my coach would say things like “shake it off” or “rub some dirt in it.” So finally at our home group last week I shared with them what was going on in my life and asked them for help. They gathered around me and prayed and spoke words of encouragement and broke the lie off of me. Your breakthrough may be found in a little word like “help”.
There are people all around you that need to hear your voice. You may come in contact with a mother who has had one of those weeks, where all she has done is wiped snot from her child’s nose and cleaned up dirty diapers and she is wondering is there more to life than this. Is this what God has called me do to and you could be that voice to remind her of her destiny and to encourage her. There may be someone who is trying to make ends meet and pay a mortgage and put food on the table. Your voice may be just what they need to hear at that moment. Will we allow a lie in our life that tells us we have no voice and to be silent or will we allow truth spoken from someone else because we have humbled ourselves and asked for help so we in turn may speak words of truth and encouragement to someone else?
Yes you and I have a voice. So if you see yourself in me and that your voice has been silenced ask the Lord if He desires you to humble yourself and ask for help from your brothers and sisters in Christ and then see what He is about to do in your life and the lives of those around you waiting to hear your voice again.
Everlasting Love – Karen Austin
“Tell My people that I love them with an everlasting love. My love is no greater for them when they are in a season of blessing than in a time of warfare and transition. My love is a constant of which they can always be sure!
The enemy of their soul tries to persuade with his lies to doubt My love for them. Tell My people if they continue in My love and always remain steadfast, assured of My love, they will always come out victorious. For their faith works by love and being confident in My love for them [Galatians 5:6]. I have done all that is necessary for their victory through the greatest sacrifice I could make – My very own Son.
Forget not all that was done for you. Because of love, He left the place of glory to come to a sin filled earth. Because of love, the sick were healed and the possessed were delivered. Because of love, the beating, taunting and scourging was endured. Because of love, even as the very drops of His blood was pour out – love was crying out “Father, forgive them”. Love is the basis for all that I do. Nothing will ever change the love I have for you.

“For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries[s] as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.” 1 Corinthians 12-13 TPT
Move of God within – Karen Austin
Many look to and fro for the next ‘move of God’. But the “move of God” that I want My people to be focused on is the “move of God” within them. Forjust as you are about to see a reformation in the world, there is also a reformation taking place within My people. I am doing a work of sanctification that must be done within those who are Mine. Those who submit to My reformation within them shall become those who will shine brilliantly in the soon coming dark days . The “union life” that was spoken of by My servant John is what I am doing in this hour [John 17:20-26]. For when you are truly one with Me, your thoughts are as My thoughts, your words shall be as My words and your actions shall be as My actions. Then I shall release great authority upon these.
Great signs shall be demonstrated by these ones because they will no longer be moved by the accolades of man. My joy will be their sole reward. Truly I say the harvest shall be great. They will run to those whom I shall cause to shine in these last days. They will cry out “Teach me of this One whom you love! How can i know Him intimately as you do? His love has drawn me, but teach me how to walk in His ways.”
I say this harvest shall quickly become a great army for Me. Their devotion to My heart and My will shall cause them to even be willing to lay down their lives for My Kingdom, if necessary. But I say they shall never be stopped! Is it not written in My Word that the increase of My government shall never end? [Isaiah 9:7].
So I say you are upon the precipice of the greatest move of My Kingdom the world has ever seen! Study to show yourself approved [2 Timothy 2:15]. Seek My face and learn of My heart. Great and mighty things are about to transpire in My Name and for My sake. If I told you of them you would not believe them! Journal entry 12/29/19.
