KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENTS AND RECEIVE THE APPOINTED THINGS
Prophecy given through Barbara Williams, May 11, 2002

Some of you have an appointment with love and reconciliation… and you won't keep it! You've told yourself and you've told everybody else that that's not what you want. But God does not make appointments according to your wants. He makes them according to His plan for you, and He makes them according to your need. You need to keep your appointment with love. You need to keep your appointment with reconciliation. You need to keep your appointment so that nobody is ever indebted to you. You need to let people go free. You need to free. You need to free them up so that you can receive your inheritance. 

Some of us keep appointments with offenses too long. Your hands are full - you've stopped and picked something up that's a bother to you, and you won't let it go. And God wants you to keep that appointment; He has an appointment with you for freedom. And yet you keep yourself bound with the things you worry about; the things that concern you that don't concern you. The things that you need to release to Him so that He can work them out for you and for those that you seem to be concerned about. You need to keep these appointments. These appointments are very important. Very important. Very important.

Some of you keep dating fear. You keep knocking on his door… he's always home. YOU DON'T EVER HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DOOR OF FEAR! God did not give that to you, but He gave you overcoming power on the inside of you, so that fear could be far from you and oppression could be far from you. But you keep dating fear, and God wants you free from fear. 

The thing that you fear the most about letting go of fear is that you don't have any more fear, so you don't have an excuse for not keeping your appointment with God. He never gave you fear as a companion. Let fear go. Let fear go. 

The appointment with patience must be kept. It must be kept. That's an appointment to abide in God, and to rest in Him, and to be hidden in the cleft of the rock. That's an appointment that must be kept, or you will never have the power to receive your inheritance. The appointment with patience must be kept, or you will never be strong enough and mature enough to receive your inheritance. You want to receive it the right way. You want to have the strength to receive everything that He has for you. So be patient. Be patient! "Be patient until the harvest," says the Lord. "Be patient until the harvest. Be patient until the harvest," says the Lord. "For surely it is coming! Patience is not for people who are waiting on nothing - it is for people who are waiting on something of substance. What I have for you is substantial. What I have appointed for you is something of substance. You need the patience because patience makes you strong and solid like a rock. And you will have the strength to pull in and to carry and to possess everything that I have appointed for you," says the Lord. "Everything that I have appointed for you," says the Lord. 

"Relationships, houses, lands, possessions. Relationships, houses, lands, possessions. Relationships, houses, lands, possessions. That's how I bless," says the Lord. "I made them male and female… that was a relationship. Then I gave them the earth… that was a possession and a land - and I told them to take it, subdue it, control it, and run it. Relationships first, then lands, and then possessions," says the Spirit of God. "That's my heart," says the Lord. "That's my heart. That's my heart. That's my heart. That's my heart. And my sons and my daughters know my priority of things. 

"Right relationships with right people at all times," says the Spirit. "Ordained relationships take priority," says the Lord. "Those things that I have ordered in your life take priority," says the Spirit of God. "And then land, and then possessions," says the Spirit of God. "For my people will have the earth. My meek people shall have the whole earth," says the Spirit of God. 

"No greed in this plan," says the Lord. "This plan is not for the greedy - it's for the obedient," says the Spirit of God. "Obedience is it's own reward, but it pays great dividends," says the Spirit. "Obedience is it's own reward, but it pays great dividends," says the Spirit. "Obey Me in all things. Imitate Me as sons and daughters of the Most High God. Be a lover, and be a giver, just as I am a Lover and a Giver," says the Spirit of God. "And great things will come to you, and great doors will open up for you, and great possessions will be placed in your hands," says the Spirit of God. "For that is your inheritance in Me," says the Lord. "For I bless the obedient. I cause the meek to inherit everything, because nobody ever expects them to have anything," says the Spirit of God. 

"Are you that one?" says the Lord. "Have you thought of yourself as not having anything? Humble yourself to Me, and your inheritance is appointed for you," says the Spirit of God. "I have appointed a great portion for you," says the Lord. "And I have appointed that you would receive it in due season. And on the road of obedience, you will find all of those things that you need," says the Lord. "On the road of obeying Me, you will have everything that you need, and everything that your heart desires, and then some," says the Spirit of God. 

"For this is how I bless, and this is how I help, but you must keep the appointments that I have set for you. You must enter in to the realms that I have for you, and you must obey Me in the things that I have appointed into your care," says the Spirit of God. "For all things are Mine, and all things are thine. All things are Mine, and all things are thine," says the Lord. "All things are Mine, and they are thine as you imitate Me and obey Me," says the Spirit of the Living God. 

"Room for change," says the Spirit. "Room for change. Room for change. I have put in your heart today room for change," says the Lord. "For there is not a person in here who does not recognize his need for change," says the Lord. 

"This is a season of changing," says the Lord. "This is a season of shifting… of making fine changes, for making small changes, and for some of you great changes. But change you must have," says the Lord. "Change you must have, that you might receive all that I have, and have the appointed things," says the Lord. "Have the things appointed for you, just as Esther did," says the Spirit of God. "For what I appoint is something that will serve you well, and will beautify you, and will cause you to come up much higher in Me," says the Spirit of God. "I never appoint small things, and I never appoint bad things," says the Lord. "I have blessings appointed for you, but it will require a change for you," says the Spirit of God. "A change that will make you more committed to My attitude," says the Lord. "A change that will make you more committed to your ministry," says the Lord. "A change that will make you more committed to Me and to working for Me," says the Lord. "A change is what I require. A change! A change! A change! A change! A change! A change! A change! A change! A change!

"Will you keep that appointment with Me?" says the Lord. "Will you keep that appointment with Me? Will you receive that thing that I have appointed for you, that you think you don't really want anymore? Will you receive that thing that I have appointed for you that you think you don't need, and you'd be better off without? Will you receive that thing that I have appointed for you that you thought was too long ago that you wanted, and it's too late for that now?" says the Spirit of God. "Will you receive your miracle? Will you change so that you can receive the Lord's best for your life?" says the Lord. "Will you change that you might receive the Lord's best for your life? Will you change? Will you change? Will you change? Change is required. There must be a change."
