Taste and see that the Lord is good.  Blessed is the man whose god is the Lord!

This is the day of the great end time army, and many are preparing by delving into My word like never before.  They are exploring the realms of My spirit so that they can know what their authority in Me enables them to do.

Watch and pray and seek My face.  Be still and know that I am God and that I am always by your side leading and guiding you into all truth.  For I am the way, the truth, and the life, and there is no other way to the Father except through Me.

And because I am truth, if you follow another spirit, you will end up into temptation and snares that you cannot escape.  There is no other way to salvation except through truth.  So many are beginning to follow another spirit that is not of Me.  They begin with a mixture of truth and error and then they end up falling completely away from Me.  I warn you that in these last days many will fall into apostasy and it all begins when the love of My truth fades away.

Many begin to desire the ways of the world instead of following after holiness.  It begins with subtle changes in their behavior and attitudes and then it escalates where they no longer desire to follow after Me.  The love of My truth grows cold and they choose to believe and follow after a lie.  They then embrace a counterfeit spirit that leads and guides them into apostasy.

I warn you this day that if you notice these signs even in your own walk, I tell you this day to cry out for repentance immediately.  For truly it is the little foxes that spoil the vine.  Do not allow the cares of the world and the cold uncaring attitude of men to cause you to become bitter for this same attitude will cause you to turn against Me.

Return to your first love.  Cast down complacency, busyness, slumber, distractions, the appetite for worldliness.  Cry out that I would fill you to overflowing with My spirit so that My fruit can flow forth from you.  Don’t allow the enemy to rob you of all that you have learned to prepare for these last days.  You were called to become a part of My end time army where you will see signs, wonders and miracles of such intensity and of such great numbers than ever before has taken place.

Don’t allow the enemy to cause you to be cast aside as a vessel of destruction.  For I gave My life that you would be free, that you would be blessed.  Draw close to Me in the secret place once again and I will build you back up. I will heal your wounds.  I will give you the strength that you need through My joy.  I will cover you with the shalom that passes all understanding and My love flowing through you will overcome the enemy.

Yes, taste and see for I am good.  You are blessed if your god is the Lord.

Yolanda Ballard of At The Father’s Feet website shares with you, the body of Christ, the words she’s received quietly sitting at the Father’s feet.  I believe Jesus set the example for us to follow.  Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before the Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.
