The Calm Before the Storm

The Calm Before the Storm

October 21, 2005

In a vision, I saw a tranquil sea. Later I heard the Lord say, "the calm before the storm." Here is what the Lord has to say about this:

(Note from Kim: reconnoitering=As a Righteous Judge in His courts, this is God´s exploration of our hearts to examine us and judge who is guilty and now deserving of punishment and who is not guilty and deserving of reward.)

I want you, My beloved, to know that I do all things well. I do all things with a strength of purpose. I leave no stone unturned in presenting My heart to the people of earth, and what is coming to the face of the earth is no exception.

I want My beloved children to know that My heart is to bless – bless bountifully. I want My dear children to know that I am with you – with you always. I want you looking at what lies ahead with these words at the forefront of your mind. I want you keeping this knowledge close to your heart: Your God does all things well, and with a strength of purpose to bless and to draw all who will come into His bosom of love.

Now I tell you that the days ahead will not be looked on by some as coming from the hand of the Almighty. Many just will not believe that I would have a hand in such, but I tell you truly that My plans entail what is to come. My plans entail all that you will see, and all that you will see will lend itself to bringing forth My will in hearts – any heart that will hear My plea and respond.



This is the hour. This is the day. Know that what is looming ahead is a sight that will cause men´s hearts to faint if they are not grounded in My truth and focused on Me. I want you to know that you are now experiencing the calm before the storm. You say, "But, Father, we have had storms. We have had quite a few storms. We have seen terrors, and many have suffered because of these terrors." But I tell you that you have not seen anything to compare to what is coming. I tell you that much more is on the way, and what is on the way will get men´s hearts right with the living God. What is coming will enable mankind to see what I deem as important, casting aside all that would encumber them in the walk in which they were foreordained to walk. I tell you truly, that the hour of reconnoitering is upon you, beloved, and when it comes, you will see the Almighty for all that He is – a just God – a loving God – a POWERFUL God, Who will go to any extreme to get men´s hearts right – to get men´s hearts lined up with His will – to get men´s hearts focused on the One Who is Supreme.

So walk in the expectant hope that the living God has seen fit to show Himself – His majesty. He has seen fit to present a new hour. Yes, you are experiencing the calm before the storm, presently, but know this – that calm – that tranquil state that you are presently in will soon dissipate if you are not focused on Me. Yes, that place of peace and rest will be no more, if you are not looking to the One Who is Almighty to see you through.

Many may speak words of accusation when all comes to the forefront of the world, pointing fingers at this person and that person. But know this truth and know it well, beloved: Man need look no further than himself. He need look no further than his own mirror to see who is at fault, for man has pointed the finger long enough. He has spoken words of accusation long enough, and he will know no heart peace until he recognizes his own failure – his own failure in seeking the heart of the Beloved, and walking in His ways – his own failure as he looked to self for the answers when all the while they were in My Holy Scriptures.

I tell you truly that the calm is about to cease. You have seen nothing like what is coming to the face of the earth. You have heard nothing like the frantic words that are about to be spoken by those who tout the news. You have not heard, seen, smelled, felt or tasted anything like what is coming to the face of the earth. When this occurs, beloved, I would have you stand tall in the face of any adversity that comes your way. I would have you open your heart and your arms to any who are suffering. I would have you speaking My truth in a way you have never spoken it, and I would have you declaring My goodness to any listening ears far and wide.

For the truth of the matter is this: Many will listen. Many will listen to these words of truth who would not have listened otherwise. Many will embrace My truth, leaning not on their own understanding, but relying on the One Who is holy and pure to secure them in this life and in the life to come. They will look on your life, beloved, and see something – something to grab and hold close. They will see a success in your walk and in your talk. They will hear words of encouragement and truth that will go deep within their hearts, pronouncing on them the wonder of the hour. Instead of looking on the devastation around them they will be looking into My eyes of love, and they will see something to enjoy – enjoy forever. Yes. They will have their eyes off the world and on eternity, for they will know deep within that I am doing a work in hearts – I am setting them to right, getting them on course instead of off course, setting those hearts into a place of wonder and trust in the One Who is holy, just, and pure.

Oh, the delight that is coming to those who wait expectantly on the One Who is holy. Oh, the delight that is coming to those who have surrendered sweetly to the Almighty! The hour is upon you, dear children. You will walk in a new meaning of My love for you. You will know a purity of heart that you have never known. You will not be rattled by what you see. You will be secure in the knowledge of My love.

These are My words to you. The calm is about to cease and the wonder is about to begin. A severe shaking is about to occur, and when it does I want you to rise up in the strength and power of your Almighty God, knowing that I have prepared you for such a time as this to show forth My glory and to proclaim My truth in a way you have never known. So get prepared to glow with My glory. Be prepared to show forth the wonder of your God and know that I am with you. Do not be perplexed by what you see and hear, dear child. Keep your focus on Me, and know with that focus comes a priceless gift – a gift too wonderful for words. It comes from My heart to yours. It is something more valuable than gold and more beautiful than diamonds. It is something rich in power and strength. Grasp this wonderful gift close to your heart and move forward, precious one, for the hour of reckoning is at hand, the battle has just begun, and you have been prepared for this hour to march forward in a victory that was won for you – a victory that has no boundaries – a victory that defies all of the laws of earth, and into that sure place of resolve where you will know your Maker from a vantage point of freedom – a freedom far above anything you have ever experienced. This, dear child, is your portion forever. This is your portion of love at its finest. This is your portion forever as you enter into the promise that I have spoken since eons past: Step into the glory of your Lord. Step into eternal love forever being made known to your heart. Step into favor from above that is sure and true, and know that you have arrived into your inheritance, bought and won by the One Who is holy – your God – the true and holy One Who has shone forth this hour to display the wonder of His truth through you, His beloved. Through you, His favored one – through you!!!
