Today, is a day of examining your roots. Are your roots healthy and growing strong in Me? You need to really examine your stability in Me. This is not the time to be in a state of indecisiveness and in a place where you can waiver. Now is the time to have your roots so anchored and grounded in Me that all the storms and winds that come will not blow you away from Me or My will.
It is time to be doing your part in keeping yourself focused on Me and to be doing and applying all that you have learned and truly walking in the spirit. There is no time to be walking in the flesh and making mistakes that will take time to recover from. Time is very precious and is very short. There is a work to be done and it cannot be accomplished from those who will not go ahead and pay the price and to do what I have called them to do.
It is time to get your roots strengthened and to make sure that your foundation in Me is one that is solid and cannot be broken. It is time to get yourself prepared to face every storm that is still yet to come and face all the weather that comes with it. There will be circumstances that will come your way to try to get you to question yourself and to put you into a whirlwind and tornados to get you to curse Me and to turn away from Me. The enemy is getting desperate and is trying to do whatever he can to find a way to weaken you and to take you off course. He knows he cannot touch you because I will not allow it so he is trying to find ways to get in by doing things around you that will get you to open a door so he can attack. You need to be fully aware of this My children. The attacks are going to become stronger and you will need to be walking in the spirit to be open to see what is going on and listening for My voice to know how to fight it and even if you are to fight it or to just give it to Me.
You need to be watering yourself with My spirit and My word daily. You need to realize how important it is to walk so closely to Me and not to take your eyes off of Me. You need to find the balance of living life here on earth as you are to and to also include Me and to walk in the spirit at the same time. This is going to be very vital for you in the near future. This will be the way that you are protected and covered from the debris of the storms and to be able to withstand all pressures that will come and try to uproot you from Me.
You also need to know that there will be battles that will be coming to try to use your blessings to get you off course as well. Do not allow the enemy not one foothold into your life. He is only after you to steal what you have and to stop you from fulfilling your calling in Me.
It is time to make sure that your soil around you is pure and stable. It is time to make sure that your roots are so deeply buried in Me that you will not be moved or taken up in any storm that comes your way. It is time to make sure that your foundation is rock solid and will not be shaken and that you are determined to go all the way and fight for what is rightfully yours in Me.
Make sure that you are fed each and every day and that you are not quenched, but full of holy water and life. Make sure that you are spending time in My presence, walking in My spirit, and reading My word, learning how to use all the tools that I have given you.
How deep are your roots today, My children? How sturdy is your foundation in Me? Are you prepared to withstand all that is about to take place?
Remember as your blessings come that you continue to allow your roots to grow and that you do not take your eyes off of Me. Stay on guard against the enemy’s tactics and attacks. Be ready to receive and to be used to give to others. But also know that the enemy does not want anyone to be blessed or to be able to bless. So be prepared to fight, but know that I am right here with you.
I am encouraging you today to make sure that your roots are sturdy and firm in Me and prepared for all that we will be doing together and to make sure that they are prepared to withstand anything that comes your way.

3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
