Preparing a vessel; the promise of His indwelling: an invitation to the children of God to accept His Call and become mature sons and daughters; by accepting, the Lord places His seed into them.

The Earth is quaking, groaning for the true sons of God to be revealed. The Lord has placed his seed in them; His Spirit will abide in them for they have chosen His Son.They will go through the fire and emerge with the Word...living waters will flow through them. The waters will come from the Father and return to the Father.

“Before she goes into labor,
she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
she delivers a son.
Who has ever heard of such a thing?
Who has ever seen such things?
Can a country be born in a day
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.
Isaiah 66:7

“Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,
and I will turn my hand against the
little ones.
In the whole land," declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third I will bring into the fire;
I will refine them like silver
and test them like gold.
They will call on my name
and I will answer them;
I will say, 'They are my people,
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.'“
Zechariah 13:7-9

“John answered them all,‘I baptize you with water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. His winnowing fork isin his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.’” Luke 3:16-17

“Each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will listen.” Isaiah 32:23
