Now has my presence descended upon my people. You have called and cried and waited. Now I say, “Here I AM.” Don't be afraid, don't run from me. I have opened my heart, revealed my desire for you, spoken love to you. I have laid claim to your affections, and that I will not easily release.

Now has the promise become reality, for I will not let my word fall to the ground. Every promise, every awakened desire, every joyous passion I am fulfilling. Come and twirl with me. The time has passed for you to remain distant and afraid. Your husband is here, now, come to embrace you and sweep you up into destiny. I will leave no room for grief or mourning or depression or any lie of the enemy to separate us. Amen, amen you are mine; you are my joy, and I will call you by your new name.

Now has come the time for you to know who you truly are. No more veils between us. In my eyes you will know the great heart I created in you and resurrected in you. Cast aside your grey and filthy garments, for you have stricken my heart with your beauty. Come and let me clothe you with righteous acts fit for a pure heart in my court. I have judged on your behalf and cast away all your accusers from my presence. No longer will I suffer dispersions upon your character, and you will not be ashamed to call me `my husband, protector of my soul and restorer of my deep joy.

Hear, my children, for I AM speaking even now to your hearts, revealing my passion and desire for you. Ever I call. Who will hear my voice and come before me? Who will wait for my Word and speak my heart to my people, lost and wandering?

How long must I call to a stubborn and restless generation? Your enemies surround you, yet you will not repent and return to your first love. I would cleanse you and clothe you in glory and set you high above your enemies in the place of honor before me.

Hear, for now is the time to cast down every doubt and vain imagination. I AM the God of your salvation; I will not allow my beloved to be defeated or dishonored. I would crown you with beauty, exalt you in the heavens. Your enemies will bow low before you and acknowledge that your are mine. If only you would run to me, cling to me, pursue me with your whole heart. Then will I answer, and you will walk with me in ways of grace and righteousness you have not yet known.

I saw you at a table set for a banquet, but there was no food on the plates or in the pots. You were so hungry, and you said, "Please God, just give me some food." Then food appeared on your plate, but not in the pots on the table. You began to eat, but the food on your plate did not diminish. Then you started taking food from your plate and filling the pots on the table so others could eat.
