Good Morning,

Isaiah 50:10-11; "Who is among you who [reverently] fears the Lord, who obeys the voice of His Servant, yet who walks in darkness and deep trouble and has no shining splendor [in his heart]? Let him rely on, trust in, and be confident in the name of the Lord, and let him lean upon and be supported by his God. Behold, all you [enemies of your own selves] who attempt to kindle your own fires [and work out your own plans of salvation], who surround and gird yourselves with momentary sparks, darts, and firebrands that you set aflame! —–WALK BY THE LIGHT OF YOUR SELF-MADE FIRE AND OF THE SPARKS THAT YOU HAVE KINDLED [for yourself, if you will]! But this shall you have of My hand, you shall lie down in grief and in torment."

As we trust the Lord and lean on Him, we must remain on the path that He has planned for us and not try to create our own plan of deliverance. You see when we try to work our own plan we end up being our own worst enemy. Anything that we could produce would be momentary and not lasting, and bring more grief and sorrow in our lives. Creating more troubles than we could imagine. When the pressures of life squeezes us, we must learn how to wait with expectation and maintain our joy. God is always working on our behalf. He will deliver those who trust and depend on Him. His plans for you will succeed. Have you ever tried to light your own fire and lead yourself out into the light? I have, and every time, I ended up having to eventually learn to wait on God to clean up my double-sized mess, and give me night vision glasses to see through the darkness I created. You know what I mean! Quite often we can see ourselves being portrayed through the pages of the Word of God, for human nature hasn't changed much (unless, we learn to yield and trust), and even those times that people trusted in God thoroughly, have been penned in the Word for our benefit too.

Isaiah 40:25-26; – "To whom will you compare Me? Who is My equal? asked the Holy One. Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after the another, calling each by its name. Because of His great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing." Now, I have not created any stars of late, and this is the God, who desires to light my fires, plan my life, and rescue me. I know that I haven't found any equal with skin on, have you? I believe I will allow Him to show me the way and deliver me from all my troubles. Verses 27-31 (Isaiah 40) – "O Jacob {put you own name here}, how can you say that the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? Have you never heard? Have you ever understood? The Lord is the Everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weary. No one can measure the depths of His understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fail in exhaustion." Now, think on that, if you are tired as you are standing to see your deliverance, God has promised to give you strength. You may be saying. I am weak, and I can't do this. God's reply to you is, everyone may get tired, even the youngest and the strongest (whether in faith, age or physically). He is constantly renewing our strength, that is called His grace. His ability to cover our inabilities, that is simply His grace. But listen to the requirement for this supernatural ability of grace being placed on our natural inabilities. "But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for,and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not faint or become tired."

As we learn through our troubles, tests, and trials, to yield to God's grace and trust His light to lead us out, we shall be changed and renewed in our strength and power. Shall means will have; must and will be able; can; it is used to express what is inevitable or what seems to be fated or decreed to happen in the future. As we trust and wait on God, it is inevitable, and it is decreed to happen for us. We will increase in power and strength and we will succeed. The requirement is for us to wait on Him. Wait means to expect, look for, and hope in God; it also means to bind together by twisting; to collect, gather together; to patiently tarry. A vital part of our waiting is the attitude behind the waiting. Are you expecting and looking for your change, as you wait? Are you patiently tarrying, which means with joy and peace in your heart. Knowing that the God of creation who knows all of the stars by name, has got you covered, with His amazing grace, His very own ability is given to you, in the waiting. So, go ahead and lean on Him, He will not get tired or weary of you trusting Him. Oh yes and by the way, as you wait are you twisting, binding and collecting together all of these truths that concern you. That you are never alone, and that God is your Deliverer, your Provider, your Shade of protection from the heat, your very own Refuge, your Stronghold, your Way, and the Lover of your soul. Who could ask for anything more? Haven't you heard, have you not known, that the Lord never grows weary?

Love,

Good Morning,

    At the beginning of this year, the Lord spoke to us concerning
the number, '3'. Here are some simple facts about three. Three lines
are necessary to form a plane figure; and three dimensions
of length, breadth, and height, are necessary to form a solid. Three is
the symbol of the cube, or solid contents. Three, therefore, stands for
that which is solid, real, substantial, complete, and entire. All
things that are specially complete are stamped with the letter three.
God's attributes are three: omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. There are three great divisions of time——-past, present, and
future. Three kingdoms embrace our ideas of matter—mineral,
vegetable, and animal. Three, denotes in the scriptures divine
perfection. Three represents the Godhead trinity: God the Father; God the Son; God the Holy Spirit. The first time the number three is seen in the Word is in Gen.1:13; "And the evening
and the morning was the third day." Look
back at verses 9-12. The earth was caused to rise up out of the water
and the earth began to produce. This was a divine resurrection
power. It was divine perfection. Now, let's look at this number
concerning our Lord; it was on the third day that Jesus was perfected [resurrected]. It was at the third hour that He was crucified; and it was three hours
(from the 6th to the 9th) that He suffered. We could go on about the
power of this number, but let's place our attention on what it stands
for, it is: solid, real, substantial, complete and entire.

    Now is the time for us to place our focus on these things; Solid means, having sound judgment or knowledge; serious-minded, thoroughly grounded; reliable. I Col. 1:23; "If you continue in the faith grounded and settled,
and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have
heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under
heaven…" Real means, authentic, genuine, not merely apparent, actual, free from pretense or affectation, sincere. Romans 12:9; "Let your love be sincere (a real thing); hate what is evil [loathe all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness], but hold fast to that which is good." Substantial is to be, sturdy; firm; unshakable.
I Corin. 15:58; "So, my dear brothers and sisters, be firm
(steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord
[ always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord, knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [is never wasted or to no purpose]." Complete–not lacking anything necessary, to bring to an end or to its final intended condition, perfect, conclude. Phil. 1:6; "And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He who began
a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right
up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you." Entire–whole, undiminished,
unimpaired, blameless, no part lacking, unblemished. James
1:3-4; "Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your
faith brings out endurance and steadfastness and patience. But let
endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a
thorough work, so that you may be people perfect and entire and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing."
Ephesians 5:27; "That He might present the church to Himself in
glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things; that she
might be holy and without blemish."

    What our Father is doing right now is getting His church prepared against the third day. Just as our Lord was resurrected on the third day and the earth was resurrected from the waters on the third day, it is indicative of our Father that He is preparing us for our resurrection day. He is causing us (as we yield to Him) to become solid in our faith, real in our love walk, substantial in our work for the Lord, complete in who we are in Him, and entire in our God-like character, all blemishes being removed. I am reminded of Hosea
6:1&2; "Come and let us return to the Lord, for He has torn so
that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up. After
two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise
[resurrect ] us up so that we may live before Him."

Good Morning,

The Hebrew month of Adar is here, also known to us as March. Both are significant for us to pay attention to. The Hebrews associate this month in the sense of the 'power to walk', meaning to move and accelerate in our service of God. They also receive the Jewish Law, whose name is derived from the word which means walking, 'halicha'. It also denotes the month of vision. In Adar everybody saw the revelation on Mount Sinai, the giving of the Torah to Moses. Vision is something seen otherwise than by the ordinary sight; an imagery supernatural or prophetic sight; something beheld in revelatory dream, trance. The act or power of seeing and or perceiving. This season overlaps with the times of the month of February which denotes healing, purging and refining. The Spirit of God is still doing the work of refining, purging and healing, while causing our vision to be purged and refined. At the same time healing the steps (those that have been crooked or perverted) that we are taking towards the vision in the service of God. The month of March, for the English calendar represents the times of winds, also on the Hebrew calendar it is when they celebrate the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost). Acts 2:1-2; And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting….verse 4 says, "and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.." The winds represent the breath of God. Winds here mean breath, or a sensible or even violent exhalation of life. It can be seen clearly by the demonstration in Ezekiel, where wind and breath are synonyms. Ezekiel 37:4-10; Again He said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones; Behold I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. Verse 7; So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone….Verse 9; Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind (breath), prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind (breath), Thus says the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them and they lived…

This month ahead, the breath or wind of God is breathing in and upon us as in days gone by to refresh us for the journey of walking out the vision of God. He will enable us for the journey, to take the steps necessary to fulfill His purpose. Whatever God has been speaking consistently to you over and over again, now is the time to allow the winds to take you there. Those dreams, visions, plans and goals that have been birthed through prayer, the wind or breath of God will push you along to the end of this course.

The Spirit says: "Do not be afraid to take the steps. Walking means to have the ability to move to the directed course. Move now, towards the vision. Do not halt between two opinions. I will accelerate, I will breathe a fresh breath of life into the plans that I have made for you. Everything that establishes the Kingdom, will take priority. As you are busy doing Kingdom business I will in turn take care of all of your affairs, everything that concerns you. We will affect every area and walk of living, so that no one is missed or untouched by those who are walking in the vision that I have planned for them. All of Me will blow through this world, for I Am in all of you. For wherever I send you, there I Am also. More of Me will be seen, for My people are dying to themselves, so that I may live through them. My life being expressed through My people, My plans, My dreams, My vision being fulfilled through My people. Take those steps towards the destiny that I breathed into you. Don't be afraid, for it is My breath, the wind of the Spirit that you will feel blowing you onto course. Simultaneously the same wind will be blowing the refuse off of the course, so that you will not stumble over it anymore. Listen to Me, for the Spirit and the Word gives light. Light brings understanding. Yield to My Spirit and My Word. Both, together are life-giving. When you sense the push along the course that I have chosen, it will be by My breathe and My wind. Together we will bring a new day."

This month, you must remember to prophesy-to speak by inspiration. Inspire yourself to speak that you will walk out the God given vision, blown by the wind of the Spirit. "He who walks uprightly, walks securely..Whoever walks uprightly shall be saved…whoever walks wisely shall be delivered. (Proverbs 10:9;28:18 & 26) "So we walk on, securely, saved and delivered!

Good Morning,

The Spirit says:

This is the season where my warriors
will be able to do more harm to the kingdom of darkness, than ever
before. As they have gone through the valleys, they have come out
trusting Me, their great Warrior. Many for the first time in their walk
with Me, have experienced Me as their personal bravery. They have awaken
from the slumber that this world system lulled them into. Now they
truly begin to see My Word work in their affairs. I have been a Father,
a Provider, a Counselor, a Healer, a Friend and a Lover to them.
They have stretched themselves during the difficulties that they were
challenged by, and found out that the Greater One keeps every promise.
I have overshadowed them, so that the darts of the wicked one did not
destroy them. They arose and soared higher than they thought was
possible, acquiring new levels of faith and more sensitivity to My
presence. They chose to stay disciplined as they went through the fire
and the flood. My warriors have come out, delivered, set free, loosed
and changed. Stronger and braver still, against all of the forces of
the enemy. They do not fear, or run from adversities, but uses the
storms of life to cause them to mount up higher. For I, the Lord have
strengthen them and hardened them to difficulties, and with each one,
it has become easier for my warriors to face the next battles. This
bravery and strength was born out of those hard places as they trusted
in El-Gibbor. Oh, I have taken such delight in these warriors! They
have learned to do My Word at all times, yes, even when it isn't easy.
Joy, is found in My house at all times, and my warriors have found
deeper joy in Me. Trusting Me have brought a calm assurance and great
joy. Now they know Me, truly know Me as the Faithful One. The enemy is
shaken by this revelation. My people humbled themselves and depended on
Me, not in their own ability or in their strength. This season is a
great spiritual battle and they are not neglecting their full armor.
They have stood face to face against the forces of darkness and
withstood them by My grace. They must not turn in retreat, for cowards
will perish.

Every warrior that is truly Mine, can not
love this world, nor his own personal comforts more than their
obligations to this great armed forces that they have enlisted in.
Truly, the arm of flesh will disappoint and let down every time. This
is a serious season for serious warriors. I have given them a brave
and courageous spirit and a persistent heart. They are determined to
keep faithful to the end. With this kind of heart, an increase of
revelations will flow into their lives. For this committed remnant of
believers shall come forth, a greater degree of the miraculous in their
personal lives. The enemy thought he would have you on the run, yet, after all of the smoke clears, there you stand. Standing in the power
of your God and His personal bravery. My brave courageous warriors who
walk in the fear of their God and in the revelation that there is no
weapon formed against them that will prosper. They boldly declare and
decree it and the wicked one flees, yes, he runs from them. For great is the army that carries out My Word.

Through God we shall do valiantly [a force; an army; wealth, virtue, valor, strength; a great host, might, power, strong war]; for it is He that shall tread down our enemies. (Psalms 60:12) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. (Ephesians 6:10) Saints, we win!! Shout about it!!

Good Morning,

Ephesians 5:8-9: "Once you were full of darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [lead the lives of those native-born to the Light].
For the fruit [or product] of this Light within you is only what is
good and true. And try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord [let your lives be constant proof of what is most acceptable to Him]. Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness, but instead [let your lives be so in contrast as to] expose and reprove and convict them.

We are children of the light, if we continue to do the good deeds of the Word. Matt.5:14-16: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it
under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives
light to all in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine
out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. We must lead lives that expose and reprove dark ways of living. We do
that by doing right. We have the ability to walk in obedience to the
Word and turn up the Light. Light-we look at
everything around us using light. Paintings, sunsets, blue skies,
shooting stars, beautiful things; when we are looking at these things
we are in fact seeing light. Light is all our eyes can really see.
Three primary properties of light are: intensity; frequency; and polarization. Our intensity, as light should be to be extremely passionate in energy and in quality
in living our lives for God. Turning it up to the highest degree. Our frequency should be regularly, systematic, persistently and habitually doing the Word of God, no matter what the world is doing and saying around you. Polarized as the light in the sense that we are extreme opposites in our nature, tendency and in action to those who are living in darkness.

Just think, we really do have the ability to affect our
environment [at least the one we live in daily], by just doing what
light does, and shine. "But when anything is exposed and
reproved by the light, it is made visible and clear; and where
everything is visible and clear there is light." (Ephes. 5:13) Now, we are in the place of Isaiah
60:2; "For behold darkness shall cover the earth and dense darkness
(all) peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you, and His glory shall
be seen upon you." Isaiah 60:1; tells us to, "Arise, shine, for your
light is come, and nations shall come to your light, and kings to the
brightness of your rising". (Is. 60:3)

The true bride, the true church is arising and shining. We are
getting up, raising ourselves up, setting up, standing up, stirring
ourselves up, strengthening and establishing ourselves, so that we do
the works of the Light. As we stay intense, frequent and
polarized, this Light will cause us to succeed, confirm, accomplish and
continue to live in the glory, while exposing and reproving darkness.
As our Bridegroom tarries, the wise virgins keeps their lamps filled with oil, so that we can shine on!! (Matt. 25:1-13)

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Let the winds of adversity blow and the
storms of change rage against My trees that I have planted. They may
bow at the fierce gust of the winds, but they will not break. They, who
are Mine have allowed Me to plant them near the river. Their roots go
down deep, so deep that nothing can penetrate to their depth. They sway
with the force of the storm, but they are easily up-righted. For they
are rooted in My Word and they have stood the test of time. They are
the great oaks and evergreens in My garden. When the heat of trials,
tests and adversities come, they have found their shade of protection
in My Word. These oaks and evergreens have been fruitful to all in My
garden. Others take delight in their shade and in the sweet smell that
comes from their leaves of life. The foxes and all the enemies of My
garden are shocked by the incredible stamina of these great and
powerful trees. They have learned how to use all the difficulties and
adversities as fodder for their continued growth. My trees remain
connected to Me, their source, I have received much glory from their
obedient and yielded life.
In the days that are coming upon the face of this earth, it will be My
trees that will stand for Me and for righteousness and not be moved by
what moves the world. Their trust is in Me and My faithfulness to them
and in keeping My promises. Because they are deeply rooted in Me, they
will rise with wisdom and insight for the days ahead, many of them will
be like Joseph and Daniel.
In times of difficulties, times of oppression, times of uncertainty and
in challenging times, Joseph and Daniel received heavenly wisdom,
knowledge, insight and revelation for their families as well as for
their nations. I am giving to My trees of righteousness that same
ability. One will receive a piece of the puzzle, another will receive
their piece and still another their piece. My true people will come
together and they will excel at this time as they learn how to be One,
as I Am One with the Son and Precious Spirit. We are whole together. So
shall My people come, each with his piece to make a whole. Stamping out
their childish ways, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and a list of fleshly
devices of separation. One as I long for you to be.

Listen My trees for I Am revealing to you
the way to go through the midst of these times of tribulation and
testing without anything hurting or harming you. If you want in, come
and let Me plant you and prune you by My river that you too may be an
oak or an evergreen in My eternal garden.

Jeremiah
17:5-8; "This is what the Lord says; Cursed are those who put their
trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts
away from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no
hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salted land. But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit." John 15:1-4; "I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mines that doesn't produce fruit, and He prunes the branches that do bear
fruit so they will produce even more….remain in Me and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in Me.

Good Morning,

The Word Of The Lord Came To Me Saying;

There is a river that is ever increasing in its intensity and its consistency. It has been flowing into the open sanctuaries of the hearts of My people. To those who will let, by yielding, this mighty river will root out, pull down, throw down and destroy all hard and stubborn places. The river will cause heavy burdens to become dislodged as easily as a feather blowing in the wind. In order for this to happen, I must have access into every area of your heart. If you would learn to flow with the rhythms of My river, you would see all that is washed away by its force. You cannot go on your own power. The river will push you from familiar places, out of the ruts that you have become stuck in.My river is a cleansing one that removes deep set in dirt, from the mind and heart. Refreshing comes as it washes all weakening agents from your life. As it increases with intensity it sanctifies, purges, heals and builds and plants. Making you whole, healthy and sound in your mind and your heart. Growth will be seen by all who have known you before the flowing river began this restoration in you. You, that was barren, unhappy, unloving, unforgiving and unfruitful shall blossom and bring amazement and wonder. Come, yield and flow with Me to your fulfillment.

Ezekiel 47:6-11; He asked me, "Have you been watching, son of man?" Then he led me back along the riverbank. When I returned, I was surprised by the sight of many trees growing on both sides of the river. Then he said to me, "This river flows east through the desert [dry, hard places], into the valley of the Dead Sea." The waters of this river will make the salty waters of the Dead Sea fresh and pure. There will be swarms of living things wherever the waters of this river flows. Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will become fresh. Life will flourish wherever this water flows. Fishermen will stand along the shores of the Dead Sea……. Verse 11 says, "But the miry places and the marshes will not be purified; they will still be salty."

Marshes—-meadow lands near water; swamps; bogs; morass [a trap; it snares, confuses or impedes and entangles]

Miry land—boggy ground or matted; deep mud or slush; [something that causes one to wallow and sink deeper; to plunge into a deep pit]; to cause to stick

So there are places and people who will not yield to God's river or His power. What, not yield to God's power? Do you remember Pharaoh? He saw God's signs and power, yet he hardened his heart against God. Sounds like a miry land or a marsh place, because where there is no yielding, there will be no change. We must make sure that our hearts stay pure, by not getting entangled or confused by all that is going on in your life as well as what is going on in the world. Everything that is twisted, wicked, evil or even some things that look right may be designed to try to take your mind off of God's river, to bring entanglement and confusion. That you end up stuck or wallowing in the muck and mire, sinking deeper. Stay in the Word of God and hunger for His Presence daily. Love is the foundation to keep the river on the increase. No one and nothing is worth losing your soul-salvation. Love, like your life depends on it, for it really does. Let's ride the river with Abba!!

Good Morning,

Are you able to see farther than you can see? I know that you
are probably wondering if I fell and hit my head today. Not today! Let
me explain this question that I heard this morning in my quiet time
with the Lord. Is your ability to see affected by what you are looking
at? Yes, unless you are looking with eyes of faith. We usually respond
or we are moved to action by our immediate sight. As we see and
experience transition in our lives and in the lives of others, our
vision can become shortsighted and blurred. It can also become stronger
and better. We are the determining factor in what we allow to keep our
attention and our eyes. If you've been having trouble seeing beyond
today, you need to strengthen your 'spiritual eyes' until it affects
your future sight. It would be to your advantage to have a seer in your
life, as well. God has placed them in the church too, 'prophets-seers.' Ephesians 4:11-12; –
"And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets;
and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ." Of course every vision that is true will line up with the Word of God
which has the best and farthest vision. Any true prophet will line up
their vision with God! They are as needed in the body of Christ as a
pastor, evangelist, teachers, and apostles. Don't treat them any differently than you do your pastor. God ordained the office of a
prophet, just as surely as He did the other four offices and they all
are needed to help mature the body. Each of these offices have a
special part to fulfill. Don't despise the office of the prophet. The
prophet will see those things that are afar off and give us a heads up.
We all need their ministry in our lives. God is faithful and He has
surely placed them in your church. We will go into this a little more
at a later time. Let's see what we can do about developing our vision.

Let's see what vision means. Vision
in the Strong's concordance means sight in a dream, revelation, or
oracle. Websters define vision as; something seen otherwise than by
the ordinary sight; supernatural, or prophetic sight; unusual
discernment or foresight or envision. This is what God gives us through His Word. He has given us vision, unusual discernment and foresight, to see beyond the turmoil that is going on in the world today, the ability to see through the temporal things of this world. II Corinthian 4:18– "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal;[brief and fleeting] but the things which are not seen are eternal. Eternal vision is seeing beyond, "our
light momentary affliction {this slight distress of the passing hour}
is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving
for us an everlasting weight of glory! (II Corin. 4:17) Start
exercising your vision by practicing and looking beyond what is trying
to take your attention. It is temporary, brief and fleeting. See the
plan that God has promised in His Word or what He has spoken to you. Fix your gaze on eternity and your vision will get stronger. All of us
as children of God have some foresight, because of the Word and precious Holy Spirit. Foresight means a view forward; front sight; future sight or looking in a forward direction. We are preparing for our future life more than this temporary one. Prov. 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish…." We are a people that have a vision. This
can keep our eyes on the ultimate plan of God and eventually all things
will be made right. We must fight the good fight of faith like
Abraham. Abraham's sight went beyond his life on earth. "Abraham
was confidently [waiting expectantly] looking forward to a city with
eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God." (Heb. 11:10) Here is a great telescope to help us to see farther than whatever is taking up the sight of our eyes. "And
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first
earth was passed away;…" And God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed
away…. He that overcomes shall inherit all things: and I will be His
God, and he shall be my son." (Rev. 21:1,4,7) Are you able to see farther now? If not get your 'eyes' back on sight. You have a
great future ahead! We are in production and preparation for greater glory! Believe it.

Love,

Good Morning,

    This Sunday at our church, there was a Word spoken from the Lord.

    He
said, "From chaos, void and darkness, I brought forth light and life. So
I Am still bringing forth in your lives today light and life from the
chaos and darkness that has tried to form in your lives. I speak and
then I watch over My Word to see to it that it comes to pass. Everyday
I created something marvelous and magnificent, that still exist from
the power of that Word. On the sixth day I created the most awesome
marvel, the crowning of My creation. Male and female in My very own
image. Everyday, I will call for you, greater and magnificent things.
More awesome than the day before. On the sixth day you will see in your
life, My crowning glory. You will delight in it, and shout and sing My
glory. You will say, it is good,good,good!

Light means illumination, luminary in every sense, happiness, bright, clear day, morning, sun. Now,
just began to see in every area of your life, light. God is going to
remove obscurity, brighten and clear up your mind, your family matters,
your finances, all your affairs of life. Light filling up all the empty
and void places. Light clearing away the confusion
and the unorganized state. Just think, everyday getting brighter, less
confused and better organized. Touching every part of living. Psalm 112:4 says, "Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness…" Psalm 36:9; "For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light."

On the sixth day, life comes
forth in your image. Something that God impregnated you with in the
"spirit'. What great idea, creation, dream, longing of the heart has God placed in you? Life means fresh and alive; vital and living with force. Isaiah
66:9 says, "Shall I bring to the moment of birth and not cause to bring
forth? says the Lord. Shall I Who causes to bring forth shut the womb?
says your God." There you have it, it's your time to bring forth in the light. It is time to replenish the earth with the 'living thing'
inside you. Now just as with labor, you have your part to do in this
great illumination and birthing process. You have to push! Even when
you are tired, you still have to press and push. You must believe you
receive and you must say so. You must speak and declare the great days
of illumination that lie ahead for you! We are expecting the Word of God to bring forth, life and light!

Love,

Pastor D.

Ears to Hear (Part 37)

Good Morning,

To learn to hear the voice of God is imperative for all who call on the name of the Lord. He is always speaking to His own, so we are often missing out on one of the greatest conversations of our lifetime here on earth.

Job 33:14 – "For God speaks again and again, [revealing His will] though people do not recognize [they do not regard it]". Now here are some of the ways God speaks to us, besides an inward voice or an audible voice. Verse 15; "One may hear God's voice in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. Listen to the depths that God will go to to save us from our own selves". Now if He will do this as we sleep, how much more will He do when we are awake and listening. Verse 16, "Then He opens the ears of people and seals their instruction {terrifying them with warnings}, that He may withdraw man from his own purpose and cut off pride from him [disgusting him with his own disappointing self-sufficiency]." This brings us to our number one hindrance to hearing the voice of God, it is our very own self sufficient thoughts. I have learned that every time I allow my thoughts to reign, that it does bring disappointment. So, the first thing we must do is to bind our thoughts that would hinder our ability to hear God's voice. If you don't, you will almost certainly be the one directing the course of your life, for your own voice is stronger than the enemy's. As born-again believers we want to practice hearing His voice. Remember, whatever we hear will have the plumb line in the Word of God. Notice the Amplified version of verse 17, says,"disgusting him with his own disappointing self- sufficiency." Disappoint means to defeat the fulfillment of hopes and plans; failure of expectation; miscarriage of designs. Are you disgusted with your self-sufficient ways bringing you disappointment? There is a way out. S tart fresh today, by asking God for His way for you to come to the place of fulfillment in your life. "There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the ways of death."(Prov. 14:12) Ways is a course of life; a mode of action; a manner of living, a custom or conversation.

Each one of us have a way that God has pre-pared for us to arrive to His good plan. It will be revealed, step by step as we become diligent seekers of Him. Stop, right where you are and get directions from the One who knows the way. Don't keep traveling the wrong way or the long way, it is self-sufficiency that keeps you from asking for directions. "Proverbs 12:15 says, "the way of a fool is right in is own eyes…"

Let's go to Him and ask for His way to be revealed to us now. Bind up every 'rebel thought' and voice, so that we can hear Him. Isaiah 30:18 & 21; "So the Lord must wait for you to come to Him, so He can show you His love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for His help. Listen what will happen as you wait on His answer. "With your own ears you will hear Him. Right behind you a voice will say, "This is the way you should go," whether to the right or left." Go ahead, ask Him and He will show you the way. Your course for your life, the actions that will bring you there.

Love,

Pastor D.
