Your feet will remain on the ground and your hands will continue to work in the earth, but your purposes and your goals will be from Me, not from the prince of this world system.

Your eyes will gain the ability to see the glory of the Lord as it shines on the path you are to follow.
But you must grow into this, My love, through daily time spent alone with Me, in regular sessions of isolation from external voices, in periodic fasting from distractions, in special episodes of separation from the congregation, that you may practice the worship I give you and develop a taste for My presence.

As you grow in your love for Me and develop in your expression of worship, My joy will be revealed in your life to others and My presence will be felt by those around you. Come to Me that you may rejoice in Me and that you may share Me with others in your life.
