Good Morning,

Matthew 5:13 says, "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltiness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men." Salt is a raw material from sodium chloride, that chemical companies transform into chlorine and soda ash. Salt is a processing aid in innumerable industries and the means by which animal nutrition experts ensure the health and productivity of livestock and poultry. There are over 14,000 uses of salt, many of which involve helping us with household tasks. Salt accents the flavor of meat, brings out individuality of vegetables and put oomph into bland starches, and deepens the flavor of delicate desserts. It can be used as a cleaning agent, an effective dentifrice, antiseptic, medicinal purposes, and improves complexion. It can be used for deicer for wintry roads. That is just a few of the uses for salt. The Word tells us that we are the salt of the earth. We should be a great benefit and blessing to the whole world and your specific sphere of the world that God has placed you in. How about salt increases ones thirst? We should be causing the sphere that we walk in to become thirsty to know our Father and our Savior. The world should look at us and have an insatiable desire for water. Also we have been the reason that the world is still preserved. Jesus said, that if salt loses its saltiness it is good for nothing else, except that the world of men trample it under their feet. When we as salt become bland and indistinguishable, not effecting the food that we are sprinkled upon we become salt that is stomped on. We as the salt must not try to fit in to our world, but be the ambassadors from heaven creating a great thirst for those who live in a dry and weary land. Right now the world is experiencing a 'drought in their souls.' All of their natural and normal sources of satisfying their thirst for satisfaction is drying up. This is the time that we should rise up in the spirit of God and say as Jesus said, "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink. He that believes in Me as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters." (John 7:37-38)

As we step up our salt effectiveness and refuse to assimilate to our world, by looking, sounding and walking as they do, we will experience a great well of refreshing water spring up within us too.

The spirit says;

I will pour out water to you My children and I will quench your thirst and irrigate your parched dry land. All of those places in your life that have experienced dryness. I will pour My spirit out like rivers, living waters that will bless your descendants and all of your children will be called blessed. They will thrive and blossom like watered grass and willows on the riverbanks. You will drink deeply of My refreshing glory, even as infants that drink deeply of their mother's breast. Rivers of peace and prosperity shall overwhelm you, My great faithful salt bearers. Sprinkle and cause thirst in those who are waiting for you to rise up, saying, "Come all who are thirsty." You will be refreshed and your thoughts will be clear and you will exercise more wisdom and insight than even you believed was imaginable. Streams of waters will flow down every high place to open broad places in your heart and mind. You will perform all that has been spoken over you in times past. You will fulfill every prophetic Word, for you will war with those words and not let one fall to the ground. A new you is arising from this shell of transition. Hold on to My hand as I bring you forth. Push! I see the new horizon, and now your eyes will see it too. Let's shake the world with our flavor. It is unique and much to be desired by all.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

    Over and over again, I keep hearing the Lord telling me about offenses and not walking in the 'love of God.'   We have to exercise ourselves to godliness. It is so much easier to get
offended and not walk in love, yet we are told to 'not take offense.' I
Timothy 4:7-8; "But refuse and avoid irreverent legends (profane and
impure and godless fictions, mere grandmothers' tales) and silly myths,
and express your disapproval of them. Train yourself
toward godliness (piety), [keeping yourself spiritual fit]. For
physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness
(spiritual training)
is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds
promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come."   This earth's atmosphere is charged with offenses and hatred. That is why, we as Christians must work at our 'godly
character.' Exercise here is the Greek word gumnadzo, which describes the strenuous physical exercise. It depicts radical discipline. It was the word the ancient Greeks used to portray the athletes who exercised, trained, and prepared for competition in the often barbaric athletic games of the ancient world. This word gumnadzo (exercise) portrays people who
want to develop and change so much that they are willing to put
themselves through vigorous, demanding, and strenuous discipline in
order to bring about change and to achieve the results they desire.

    James 3: 2;
"For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if
anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a
fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole
body." Most offenses come from what has
been said or done to cause us to become hurt, bitter and unforgiving.
This verse shows that getting the developed character, in order not to
offend, is something that we must work for. Offense comes from the word 'skandolon' in the Greek. It is where we get the
word scandal from. It originally described the small piece of wood that
was used to keep the door of an animal trap propped open. It also
refers to a stone or an obstacle that caused one to trip, to stumble,
to lose his footing, to waiver, to falter, and to fall down.
Satan is always laying traps for offenses to bait us. Whether, it is
through the word being preached and hitting us right where we live and
you get mad and offended with the message and the messenger. It can also be, events that happen in our lives that trip us or snare us. Here are two verses that prove this; It
is simply unthinkable that you would allow yourself to dream that you
could live this life without an opportunity to be lured into a
situation that could potentially snare you in the feelings of
offense.." (Luke 17:1) and I Peter 2:8; "He is the stone that makes
people stumble, the rock that makes them fall. They stumble because
they do not obey God's Word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them." We
can expect that we will get offended, but we must learn how to exercise
ourselves to respond as God would. We must quickly forgive and let drop
all that offend us and we must try and communicate clearly so as not to
give offense. Yet, understand that some people will take offenses and
not exercise their selves, you have to let it drop. Some are easily
offended because of God's Word and all that is left to do is pray for
them to be healed. We must discipline our tongue, so that it is not
full of deadly poison. As Matthew 24:10-13 says "And then many shall be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets
shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall grow cold. But he that shall endure to the end,
the same shall be saved." Be aware and
sensitive in the spirit to the "spirit of offense', because the love is
growing cold. You stay white-hot and on fire for the Lord and you will
be saved!

Love,

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says;

I see those who have stood irregardless of all the circumstances and challenges, and yet did not back down. I see you as mighty champions of faith. You have led many to My Kingdom by your stand, and have ministered to many of My children. I have heard and seen the many nights of crying, mourning and yearning in the night season to see My people walk uprightly before Me. I was there when you were wounded time and time again, yet you continued to get up and pursue your destiny. I have held your hand when no one else was there to hold you up. I have felt your tender love and strong commitment to Me. I say to you My faithful lovers, do not grow weary. Yes, I know that darkness has unleashed the deepest depravity of its strength to try and bring you down. I know that there has been an attack on your body, mind and spirit. I Am here to avail to you all of My strength. You are a warrior for My Kingdom, yet you are still My very own precious child. I will always pick you up and hold you up, with My arms of protection.

You and I know that this assignment of hell is for destruction of My generals in My army, trying hard to bring them down in the eyes of the ranks of My army. He is trying to shame those who in times past were forerunners in the race. Those who have spoken My heart and My voice to the world. He is trying to silence them, by an overwhelming exposure to darkness. Many of My great ambassadors have fallen and succumb to the great deception of the enemy. I will raise them up again, if they will cry out to Me again from a broken and contrite heart. For those who have stood still when the clouds of difficulties overwhelmed them, I Am renewing their strength. You will walk upon the high places with Me. Receiving the crown and banner of victory given to all overcomers. Your faith in Me has won you the victory!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The spirit of discouragement and
disillusionment has tried to deceive many of My children. It is a
strong, obscure and blurred spirit. He has lied to them and told My
bond servants that I have forgotten them. The lie that he perpetrates
is that I will not do what I have promised to do. Promises that I have
spoken from My Word or in times of intimate fellowship, he lies by
trying to divert your attention to the temporal things. Do not give any
attention to him My children. If you entertain his lies they will find
a way into your heart and destroy and entangle all that We have built
together. Do not allow the 'evil one' to plant snares and tares in our
garden of love. Now is the time to draw close, so that you become
inaccessible to the darts of the wicked one.

Yes, it is a time of tribulation for this
world system for I Am proving it's quality. It is overdue, because of
the unjust weights and balances, and the great deception that has
continued for decades. I have heard and I have hearkened to the cries
of My servants, those who are watchmen on My walls. They have cried for
justice and I Am responding. I Am shaking every system that is not
built upon My foundations. Some of these systems have found their way
into My house. That cannot be. I Am uncovering and exposing all that
does not originate in Me and with My plans.

My children that have given a cup of cold
water in My name will receive all that I have promised. I have not
forgotten one seed sown in My name, by faith. Harvest times
are by My timetable, for I Am Lord of the harvest. I will repay. I know
all that you have suffered in My name and because of your stand in My
name. I have been touched by your heartaches and all that troubles you,
and I will come and rescue you. You can be sure of Me and My word, it
will stand through all times. I Am about to lift you up out of despair,
by My Mighty outstretched Arms. No one will be able to take you from
that secure place. Nothing is to difficult for Me, I will heal and
refresh you again.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says,

The fullness of time has come for my
children who have waited patiently on Me. It will appear as a suddenly
to onlookers, but you and I know the time and the faith that you have
invested for your suddenly. Some of your suddenlies have
been a while in coming to you, but you have remained faithful through
the process. You did not let go of My hand, and in fact you held
tighter to My Word. I Am putting all the pieces in place that will fill
all that has been broken and out of order. All of the tears that you
have sown will be multiplied back into joy, shouts of joy and singing
will be heard from you. Your weeping valley has turned to flowing
springs of blessings. I Am turning your time of testing into a time of
great celebration. I will restore all that has been stolen during this
season and you shall come forth with great joy. Your strength has
increased! Your strength during the adversities has increased, because
you would not quit. You availed yourself to Holy Spirit,
your helper, and walked through the flood and was not overcome by it,
instead you overcame it, by the Word that you have decreed from a heart
of faith. You have gotten yourself the victory through My Word.
Remember this time, and hold steady for your next level, it will help
you to rise even higher. You have grown, because you let patience have
its perfect work in you, so that you may be mature in character and
lack nothing. Rehearse your victories in Me, for it will increase your
strength. The days are at hand and the fulfillment of every vision.
There will be no more empty or fruitless vision in My house anymore. I
Am the Lord, I will speak and shall perform and not delay or prolong My
Word.

Good Morning,

    Beware of offenses! It is worth being repeated. Offenses can
and do cause division and dissension in the 'Body of Believers.' Do
you consistently stay in the Word on the love-walk? Take time to read Matthew chapter 24, let us go over verse 10-12; "And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love (God's kind of love) of many shall wax cold." It is a 'spirit' that is pronounced during the last days before Christ return.

    Offenses not
dealt within our hearts will grow into roots of bitterness, which
will strangle any spiritual growth that might be taking place in your
heart. The root killer for offenses is the Word of God. Psalms 119:165, "Great peace have they who love Your law (Word of God); and nothing shall offend them (or be a stumbling block or snare to them)." More than ever before we must be determined to stay in the Word, it is our life support and the refuge against offenses. Hebrews 12:14-17: tells us to "Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and
holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord." It is important for all of us to pursue to live in peace with everyone, especially with those who have offended us, otherwise we
won't get to see God. "Looking diligently, to see that no one falls back from and fails to secure God's grace, in order that no root of bitterness (resentment, rancor or hatred) spring forth and trouble you and many become contaminated and defiled by it." Looking diligently means to exercise foresight; to beware or be on the watch; to survey the environment. That means that we have to pay attention to each other in the 'Body of Christ'
[our environment] to see who is spreading this root of bitterness
through and by being offended. Killing that root with the Word. As we
pay attention to what the word, root means, it is something that is deeply embedded or fixed; the inner core, the foundation; where substance is drawn from. The root pulls from the soil of the heart the necessary ingredients to
produce fruit. The fruit that grows may be bitter and tainted by the
roots. Look at and think about this word
bitterness- inward attitude of evil thoughts that affect the outer, [ex. our emotions, conduct and life]; deep, unpleasant, intense feeling,
that causes one suffering of mind or body—-a painful affliction of
hate and resentment. If this root is left
to spread it will annoy, torment, defile, contaminate, sully, tarnish and
pollute you and the rest of the body that it sits in. It will dwarf any
fruit in your life and defile your physical body as well as your mind.
    So, my dear sisters and brothers, do not take the bait of
offense, it is a snare to lure you to sin. As we see the day
approaching it is imperative to keep a clear heart, so that you can
hear God's voice and promptly obey Him. It is a strategic point that
will separate the 'wheat' from the 'tare'. Don't be easily offended,
and don't go around easily offending others. Study to be slow to speak
and slow to anger. Be quick to forgive and practice walking in the love of God. Stay in the Word, and nothing will be able to offend you!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says,

    The degree that you are yielded to Me
and My plans for you, is the degree that I can use you. You have judged
Me unfairly because when you see a completely yielded vessel move in signs and wonders in the Kingdom, operating on a higher plane of their destiny. While on
the other hand you yield only a fourth of yourself to My ways tying My
hands to flow freely in your life, you become upset and angry that I do
not use you to the same degree as the totally yielded one. I will still
multiply the seed that you give to Me and much more will be given back
to you. So, I Am waiting on your response.

    To whom much is given, much more is
required. I still require of all My people to be a yielded vessel, in
order to be unhindered by the obstacles of a stubborn and resistant
vessel. So if you want to see Me move more on your behalf, then yield
to Me more, not only in the limelight of ministry, but in your everyday
life. Your everyday walk is where true character is being formed. Do
not judge Me as unfair, when it is you going day by day without
acknowledging Me to direct your days in wisdom. Day by day you choose
your own way and exalt your plans above mine. Yet, you desire to move
in the supernatural ways without yielding your everyday living to Me.
This is not an intermittent relationship, on again and off again, we
must have a complete and totally dedicated relationship. I must be
involved in the intricate and intimate details of your daily existence.
Then and only then will your life be truly lived for Me. Then and only
then will you walk in all that I have for you. Remember I Am faithful
to perform all of My Word concerning you. Now you must be faithful,
since We are in covenant together. Or at least allow Me to help you
become faithful. Do not look to the left or to the right, do not look
at the relationships that I have with others. Let us develop a personal
relationship. I Am developing you into faithfulness as you yield to the
forming of My Word.

    I Am asking you, will you yield and
become yielded in every facet of your life? Will you let me tear down
the walls of hardheartedness and indecisiveness that have hindered your
full cooperation with Me?
    Understand that so many times I have
spoken into your life, so many Words that you have minimized in your
heart. You did not know the value of walking out that Word. You did not
know that it was the key, yes the key of obedience that would open to
you doors to the new horizon, to walking and living in the heavenly
realms. Hear and obey, brings great recompense of rewards. Hear and
obey.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says;

Keep your mind stayed on Me and as you do you will hear My voice saying to you, "this is the way, walk in it. "Drawing near to Me is no longer a good thing for you to do, it is the needed ingredient in your destiny. Steps that I have planned for you long before you entered this life-changing time, steps that I ordained. Steps that the enemy have tried to lay with snares and traps, yet steps that you must take. Steps that bring peace in the midst of chaos. I have ordained 'peace' for My own, whose trust is in Me. I have enlarged your steps, but you must remain close. Following Me requires a closeness, so that My shadow protects you. Closeness that causes you to inhale My next breath. So that you will know that you actually do live and have your being only by Me. I Am waiting for you to do what I Am doing, and to say only what I Am saying. Nothing has taken Me by surprise, believe Me when I say to you, "I saw this day and the days ahead, and nothing shall be able to hurt you or stop you, if you keep your mind on Me. "I Am your victory, and I have prepared your days of true glory. A day when your rising will be as bright and clear as the rising of the sun. You and I will cause those areas that have died,that must live and thrive, to come to life again. You will reflect My life giving source to all that have been dormant and have waited to spring forth in its time. The time of new life springing forth has come, the winter time has passed. The limits that were placed on your life in the past year will be raised, lifted and canceled. This is a time when the world will get a glimpse of the real sons of God, the light and life bringers. In Me you are matchless, nothing can hinder you, as long as you think on Me. You are at the tail end of the storm, for it is passing over. Prepare to run in the refreshing breeze, my children. You will enjoy every new moment in the sun, appreciating the precious moments of living in Me in this new day arising.

Good Morning,

"And if we are His children, then we are
His heirs also; heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His
inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to
share His glory. {But what of that?} For I consider that the
sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth
being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in
us and for us and conferred on us." (Romans 8:17 & 18)

As I looked up the definition of
suffering, I expected or rather wanted to find some deep spiritual
defining word that meant something more than what it means. Yet here it
is; suffering means something undergone;
i.e. hardship or pain; an emotion or influence: affection,
motion, distress, loss or sorrow. Now we all want to share in the glory of Christ, but the Word says that we are to share in His sufferings also. As children of God
we will go through sufferings in this world system, but we must come
through victoriously. Listen to these verses in the Word. Notice that
every time that 'suffering' is mentioned there is some consolation for
the one who comes through victoriously.

I Peter 4:12-13; "Dear friends, don't
be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something
strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad – for these trials
make you partners with Christ in His suffering, so that you will have
the wonderful joy of seeing His glory when it is revealed to all the
world." Because of being a child of God, the
enemy goes around trying to devour and destroy through all manner of
hardships and distress. If we think of all that Christ went through to
bring us to salvation, and how now He has a name above all other names,
that at that name every knee will bow! We are heirs with Him! We share
in His great inheritance also. Then we can truly begin to understand
and also identify with what Paul wrote in Philippians. "For
my determined purpose is, that I may know Him [that I may progressively
become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and
recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly
and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the
power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over
believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death."

(Philip. 3:10) This
is now the time that we are dying to be transformed. We are changing as
we die to ourselves. The more we die to ourselves, the more we are
changed into the likeness of Christ. The more we are in His likeness,
the more if His glory is being revealed in us, on us and through us.
There is always a certain amount of pain in changing. When you were
going through puberty, you experienced a certain amount of growing pains.
As your body was trying to accommodate your continued growth, you
experienced pain in growing. In our spiritual life, (which is
paralleled by the natural) we experience a certain amount of hardship
as we grow too. It is minuscule in comparison to the weightiness of the
glory of God!

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

    The last trimester is upon my people before the birth of a new generation. One that will rise up to the occasion. They have heard the cries of all of My creation, that has been awaiting the sons of God. They will come forth now with great boldness, unafraid of any
challenges or any lies of the enemy. It has been revealed to them
their true identity. Great maturing of the fruit has taken place in My
people. Nothing shall be able to stand in
their way, those who have been tested and tried and found to be gold.
During this incubation period of change, they have been receiving their
very breath of life from Me. Instead of pulling back during the
transitions, they have drawn closer to Me. In the three month period
that is set, those who have drawn closer will grow by leaps and bounds
in authority and in anointing. All of the works of flesh are now being
consumed by the fiery trials that have beset them. Yet, I have worked
an unusual work in them. More of Me is seen in My house, they realize
they can't work it up in their own power or by their own strength, they
have learned to rely on Me. The Greater One lives in them, which lifts
up the greatness in them. They are an unrecognizable breed by their
enemy. The holy nation and royal priesthood that I Am raising up will
be separate and unique and devoted to kingdom purposes only. They are
keeping me lifted up while they remain humbled.
    Remember, dual purposes are going on all
the time. As the last trimester represents the ending of a long
process, it also represents the most difficult time. Pressure is being
applied with greater intensity from within as well as without. It also
means the beginning of living life
a whole new way. You are being prepared to bring new life and to live
it a different way. My church will experience a fresh breath of life
that will revive and restore what has been stolen. The shaking that I
have done was to shake out all that would live ungodly and unholy in My
house. To shake out all stale religious thoughts and shake away all
that was disguised as My new way, but was only more words to compromise
My Way. Those 'new ways' were only lies to lead My people away from the
ancient landmarks, to an open broad way to destruction. To make My
people think that holiness was no longer accepted, for it was rigid and
hard. Yet, this broad way was the great door to the counterfeit 'love
of God." It deceives people into making everything allowable in My
Kingdom, under the disguise of love. It is all lies from the enemy to
try and deceive and confuse the very elect. Be alert and be aware! You
must be well grounded and rooted in My Word, like never before. All the
enemy is doing is opening wide doors to more wicked sin and idolatry.
Stop him, with "it is written."

    I Am shaking, I Am shaking! My house is
being cleaned and at the same time the world is lining up and
being prepared for the days of the end. It will be as I have said. All
things spoken of the end times will come to pass and nothing will
change My Word. These things must happen, so that I will come and bring
you home with Me. All is in preparation and I Am waiting on you. I will
keep all of My promises even those concerning the times of the end. Do
not fear, My love will keep you safe.

    To the overcomers, to the ones that keep My
Word and are committed to My deeds to the end, I will give great
rewards that I have laid up for all eternity. The
half has not been told or even seen, about those great rewards for
those who love Me. Whatever you are seeing now will never compare to
the glory that I have in store for you. The glory you have experienced
in the past is just droplets in comparison to glory that is about to be
uncovered in the next year in My people that will not quit. It will be written of this generation, the
same recorded of the last ones that came forth from the wilderness,
"there was not one sick, weak or feeble among them." My people and My
church will all be overcomers and their vision will line up with Mine,
advancing the Kingdom! They have meditated on my Word day and night,
now their way is made prosperous and whatever they put their hands to
will succeed. As they endure and keep My Word!

Love,

Pastor D.
