Songs of deliverance are coming to you, for I, the Lord your God, will pour out of My Spirit that you may be relieved of the burdens that you have carried -- those things that have weighed you down; those things that have been troubling to you; those things that you have struggled with.

You have the ability to come to Me and receive restoration that will come in a position of your alertness, preparedness, and your ability to be fresh and ready to receive, says the Almighty. You are like the eagle who flies in the skies, turn your eyes upward and you will see that you have the ability to be as He is -- the ability to see and perceive My purposes, says the Lord. I have called My people to come aside for a moment of rest, a moment of restoration where you can be unburdened now in this season. Come and rest. Allow Me to heal you. Allow Me to invigorate your spirit. Lift up your voice and call to Me and I shall come. For these are indeed the days of My glory and you, My children, are the sons and daughters of glory. So come now and rest, says the Lord.

"What did you do that for?" cried the man, who knew that the bite of this particular snake was usually fatal. "Didn't I take care of you when no one else would?" The snake shrugged (no small feat for a snake!) and replied to the benevolent--and now doomed-- man, "What did you expect? You knew I was a snake when you picked me up." We certainly know without any question that they are snakes. Time will tell if the moral of the tale is appli...
