This, too, has a ring of God's values and priorities too it--and thereby at least some of His character. From:

Don't You Think I Can Keep You?
(Text as received from an Internet mailing list, May, 1997)
Don't you think I can keep you? You are kept by faith in Me and My Word.
Be not afraid, but let your mind be set on things above where Christ is seated. I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in heavenly realm. You can't receive as you walk in fear, have not I told it to you, not to be afraid, for I am your God, I am your Lord, I am your all in all. I am with you in the dark hours as well as in the light. It is my presence that brings light and my name is my presence.
You have the promises that I have given you. Quit sliding back, brace up yourself and come to me. Don't be anxious about what people will say. Leave Babylon and all that it represents. Be reconciled back to your God. He is your maker your creator your very breath depends on Him. For He is the giver of life. Life and death are in His hands. So be not like the unwise, but become as a child and learn from me. As you wear my yoke you will find that I am meek and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls.
My very own, will love me more and more. They will not be content with just a little knowledge, but they will want more and more and I will not withhold myself from them. I never have withheld. As a father his child, so do I have mercy on those who fear me, as far as the east is from the west so far I have removed the sins of those who fear me. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so is my love and my mercy towards those who love and fear my holy name.
Good morning Father, good morning Jesus, good morning Holy Spirit. This is a special morning which hasn't been touched yet. I give you all of my heart, soul and body. So you can live your life within me. You are the only one who can live perfectly. Hallelujah!! Thank you for your mind, Hallelujah! I am transformed by the renewing of my mind thank you for renewing it for me. Thank you for your thoughts and your attitudes. Thank you, that by your great power and supreme strength you have won the victory. Great is your name and greatly are to you to be praised. You alone deserve the Glory.
Look beyond the natural and see with the eyes of faith, and behold the beauty of the Lord. Don't be proud in your achievements, but humbly accept all that I put in your path. Know that the time is short and things are going to happen fast. Judgment is speeding, escape the wrath that is coming. If you are in any kind of sin, break with it before it is too late. For know that the Lord God is the merciful.
But there is coming a time that all will stay as they are. If you don't get out of the sin that besets you, know that you will be harden into it, where there is no escape and it will be out in the open. You know that the sin is covered, but it won't be long.
Don't trust in the fact because you are being blessed that everything is all right with the Lord God. Run, run, avoid all paths that lead to sin, run away from it. Don't depend on your own strength. For you will certainly fall. Know that if there is bitter, envy in you there will be every kind of evil work.
Don't gloat over someone else's downfall, know that you must stay humble and pray for such a one. Be on your face before the Living God and be still and know that He is God! Know that there is a purification going on and be careful that you don't get caught in the sin of pride.
Don't trust in yesterday's victory for it could be your defeat today. There must always be a renewal of your faith. Every day and a new trust and reliance on the Lord God Almighty. Don't trust in the good works, righteous deeds you have done yesterday, but know the mercy of the Lord are new and fresh every day.
Know that if you don't keep a watchful eye and pray you could fall into temptation. Know that the Lord always says, watch and pray for you don't know what the day will bring, don't depend on the righteousness you had yesterday. Depend completely on what Jesus Christ has done at Calvary, everything He has done. it is for a victorious living.
Don't depend upon how much you have read and prayed in the past, know that it must be an every day experience of prayer and eating of the Word. Don't neglect this part of your life. You are no match for the evil one. The evil one never goes to sleep and know there will always be battles. But how are you clothe for battle?
Are you clothe with the Light of Jesus Christ? Or are you cloth with your own knowledge? The only knowledge that you need to know about self is that it is an enemy of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Cross. It is an usurper of authority, and know self always works with the greatest enemy of all, that age old serpent, the dragon, satan the deceiver. You only grow in the knowledge of the Holy One, Jesus Christ, and we are told to put on the Lord Jesus Christ the armor of Light.
The more Revelation [heart knowledge] you have of Jesus Christ, the stronger the armor becomes. Revelation must come from the Spirit of the Living Christ. The more that the Spirit of Christ rules the brighter the armor. He is the very armor of the Lord God Almighty, He is the Light, and He is the Word of God. Hallelujah!
This one has an interesting perspective to it. All these can be found listed by title at:

Reward for the Expectant
Prophetic Word Given to Jane Williams
March 10, 1997
"Let your hands be strong, you who have been hearing in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, who were in the day that the foundation was laid for the house of the Lord God of hosts, that the temple might be built." Zech. 8:9
"I would come to strengthen those who have been hearing My words. I would come to pour out My Spirit on the expectant. For there are those who have been an audience for the prophets, who have sought the word of the Lord and cherished its sound. These will be rewarded this day. They will be rewarded with power from on high.
For I would not speak to one and then come to another. I would not gather an audience and then begin My work with those who have not heard. Hear Me, oh audience of the prophets. Hear Me, you expectant ones. You will be among the first on whom My glory will fall. You will know My power in great measure. For I have enlivened you to listen so that you might receive more than just words. I have quickened you so that you might be readied for more of Me.
Oh, I will come in unexpected places and on the unsuspecting as well but I will dwell richly with those who have longed for My coming. I would come to you this day to assure you that none who are seeking Me will be disappointed. None will be passed by. For though My Spirit may fall in some cities before others, My faithful remnant will be moved upon with increasing power all over the earth and will stand out like stars in the midst of a dark sky - glowing examples of My power to change lives.
For I am attuned to your heart-cries and moved by your prayers. I am deeply affected by the strength of your desire. I will come unto you and upon the places for which you are seeking Me.
For in this day, I have awakened you to pray for the very things I intend to do. I have set in motion a chain reaction of awakening, intercession and response, further awakening, further intercession, further response.
Oh, audience of the prophets, you will be honored among men. You will be sought after as ones who understand the times and many, many will come and listen to the words you would say. 'What have you heard? What have you seen? What has God been saying these past months?' And many of you will begin, not only to speak, but to prophesy as well. For a spirit of prophecy is falling and will increasingly fall upon those who love My voice. And I say in days ahead, the sound of the prophets voices will rise louder and louder throughout the earth and eventually become a deafening roar. Hear Me, oh eager and expectant ones. Hear Me this day. Your longing has stirred Me and I will surely come unto you with great force. There is none seeking Me in this day who will not receive a double portion when I come in power. Rejoice over My grace unto you and remain steadfast in hope in these days speaking always of the coming of the Day of the Lord. For unto you have been entrusted great treasures and unto you, it will be required that you speak."
