Over and over God keeps giving me this

“If My People, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from Heaven and I will HEAL THEIR LAND” 

I felt this was speaking collectively to the Body of Christ, so I asked the Lord “What would you have us repent of?” His answer was so simple: we (as the Body) are not seeking Him, and truly putting Him FIRST - and honestly, as far as my own life goes, I know this is true. No man can serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). This is why the Lord has led us into this Desert: a place of no distractions; a place where more and more, we must rely on Him - for everything; a place where, like the generations who went before us, we will learn to know God Intimately. We will learn what it really means to seek His face, forsaking all else. I am hearing Him say over and over

 “My Church must learn to put Me first” 

(I do not take prophecy lightly & this is written with much holy reverence for the Lord - and is aimed as much toward me as anyone else). Now is not the time to be talking about what we’re going to do when we’re out of this crisis. Now is the time to will and to do for The Lord in the midst of this crisis. I believe the Lord is saying “NOW is the time to humble yourselves and seek My Face as you have never done before! For this is something you have never known before; therefore I am ready to reveal Myself to you in a way you have never known before: No one (whoever has ears to hear) will be excluded.  But you do not realize that in the midst of this new territory, I have already been at work: As you have been slowly cleaning house, I have been gradually and with great care, cleaning and turning your heart.  I am now ready to reveal Myself in a new way, for those who are willing to let go of the things of this world and seek Me with all their hearts - hearts which themselves are already being purified - and My promise to My People is this:  I WILL BE FOUND BY YOU. (Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 5:8).

Surrender all to Me: You cannot fight  the darkness of this Age outside of Me; and you cannot truly fight from within Me, the way I would have you to, without first forsaking everything else. Therefore I say to you, do not resist or rush to escape this time of confinement, but LEARN from it. 

Trust in Me completely: For this is why I have brought you to this wilderness. You will not come up from it until you have learned how to LEAN on Me - so jealously do I desire you. 

Then, when you have turned to Me with all your heart and have become vessels fit for purpose, I WILL hear from Heaven -  because I desire to use YOU,  My Church to heal your land.”  (Song of Solomon 8:5, 2Chronicles 7:14, Deuteronomy 8, Matthew 5:5, Hosea 2:13-15)
