Ears to Hear (Part 42)

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 a
re 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!!

Love,

Pastor D.

Ears to Hear (Part 39)

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,

Pastor D.

Ears to Hear (Part 38)

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,

This is a prophetic word brought  forth in our church:

    I am waking up my lovely bride, says the Spirit of Grace and Mercy.  Every fairytale you have ever heard before has an inkling of truth in
it, they have taken parts of my character and traits.  I am the Prince
that awakens his bride with the kiss of love,
that
has been cast into a deep sleep.  I will come to rescue her riding on a
white horse.  I have prepared for her mansions and we will live happily
ever after.  Yes, my bride, my beauty shall awaken from her sleep and
when she arises says the Spirit of grace and mercy great and wonderful
things shall she do.  She is up to something, says the Spirit of mercy
and grace, she's up to me.  As she comes closer and closer to me she
will begin to act like I act, do what I do, say what I say.  My
bride will spontaneously erupt into a great anointing and the eyes of
her understanding shall be enlightened, she will know things that she
did not know before.  The revelations, the spirit of revelation has come upon my sleeping beauty
She shall arise and do great and mighty things and together we shall
arise to new heights of victory and glory.  And I say that the spirit of
increase is upon her she shall increase in whatever she put her hands
to.  It is a new beginning for her and she shall shake off the grave
clothes of the past experiences of discouragement and
disappointment.  She shall arise and dance over the graves of her life
and she shall strengthen herself by celebrating the one she will see
reflected in the mirror.  As she looks deeply she will see Me in her, My
beauty reflecting through her.  Everything that I have brought her
through is to bring her to this great awakening says the spirit of
mercy and she shall arise as one that has been in slumber as one that
has been asleep for a long season.  She shall brush away the sleep of
dreams and she shall realize that this is living, truly living.  She
shall begin to do great and awesome deeds and the nations shall tremble
under the force of my bride.  The nations shall quake under the force
and authority that she shall arise in.  Men and women shall stand and
shutter and the desires of their hearts shall turn towards Me, for they
shall see in this last day that My army is also My bride.  She is a
beauty that is no longer asleep, she has risen with My purpose in her
heart.  As she tramps throughout the land she shall take back those
things that the enemy has stolen from Me and the enemy has stolen
from her and together we shall arise as we conquer the land that
belongs to Me.  Then says the Lord, I shall rise up as a man of war and I
shall do violently against the enemy of her soul and she will stand
still and see the salvation of her God.  When she gets tired I shall
arise upon her with fresh new strength to carry the race forward, says
the Lord.  I will not quit and she will not quit.  We will not give up
until that day begins to dawn brighter and clearer.  My bride will know
who she is in that day says the Lord.  In the reflection you will see Me
greater and stronger and mightier then ever before.  I shall arise as a
mighty Lion of Judah,
I shall arise with a great roar shaking the land and cause men and
women to tremble at my voice.  I will come with justice and
righteousness, I will deliver My own.  I am coming for My glorious
bride!  Hallelujah!

Ears to Hear (Part 35)

Good Morning,
 
    I have been meditating on Genesis 5:22, "Enoch walked in [habitual fellowship] with God after the birth of Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters."  I know this is an allegory.  Enoch is compared to the end-time "raptured" church.  Just think, we need to be a people that walk in habitual fellowship.  Let's look at these words, habitual and fellowship.  First, we must understand that Enoch didn't become a recluse in order
to walk in habitual fellowship.  He did not stop having relationship
with others [for he had more sons and daughters, that takes
relationship].  He ended up spending the majority of his time with the
One whose company he enjoyed the most.  Habitual means acquired by custom or frequent repetition of the same act; formed by repeated impressions; rendered permanent by continued action or use; made familiar by
frequent practice.
    Before I was a christian, I use to smoke cigarettes,
take drugs and curse like it was an official language.  I practiced
these things just by frequent use and continued acts.  After the
initial start of them, I just did them everyday.  It wasn't anything
that I had to give to much thought to after awhile.  It became as
natural as breathing.  You know you don't have to go around saying to
yourself, don't forget to breathe (unless, you have a illness).  Well,
by repeating the same action over and over again, day in and day out,
it becomes a habitual practice.  Cursing spilled out as if I had stayed
up all night trying to put those vulgar words together, but I hadn't.  I
perfected it by frequent use.
    Keeping that in mind, think about our relationship with God the same way.  In the beginning when you first became a Christian, you had to start reading your Bible and initiate prayer and worship
unto God.  You were starting a fresh new habit.  After awhile of being in
frequent practice and continued use, it should be natural for you to
pray, read your Bible and worship GodPracticing the presence of God, walking and talking with Him all day long, living a life of prayer and worship should become a habit.  God is soooo
good and His company is sweet.  It's so simple that we often try to make
it difficult with all of our man-made rules.  In the end they frustrate
the purpose of God and we end up with religion and not relationship.  Do
you time your conversation with a close friend?  Do you talk only once a
day to your child, your mate, your buddy?  It becomes a duty instead of
developing a Godly habit.  No, I talk to my daughter about three or four
times a day, I do the same with my closest friend and my husband.  I
have never timed our conversations.  And if it wasn't for my cell phone
that does time my phone calls, I would never know how long I've been on the phone.  Why?  Usually, I enjoy our talks!  When was the last time you just
enjoyed talking to God?  So, the first thing we have to do is stop
putting God on a time-clock.  Second thing, just lean back and let 'er
rip, enjoy God.  He is the One who started relationships after all.  I
imagine He knows how to form a good habit
with you also.  He's quite entertaining, gifted, knowledgeable, unique
and incredible in His ability to make you feel comfortable around Him.  I really like Him, as well as love Him.
    I believe that is what Enoch discovered.  That God was so
awe-inspiring, so positive and just plain likable.  Enoch couldn't get
enough of God.  That brings us to the next word, fellowship.  Fellowship means companionship, familiar company, a state of being together, intimate familiarity, frequency of intercourse – [connection; communication
or exchange; a passing between].  This fellowship is developed by frequent
use or continual acts of simply talking to God.  God is so awesome, just
think, He can converse in any language, so He is accessible to everyone. 
He made us, so He knows all about why we are the way we are and He
knows how to straighten out the crooked places in us.  Yet He wants us
to get to know Him and hang around Him.  He knows the issues of all of
mankind, the roots of them, and how to get rid of the roots.  Who else
knows all that about you, and still wants to be intimate with you?  If
most people knew everything about you (even your thoughts), you would
be by yourself.
    Yes, we must become a generation of Enoch's.  The only way is to let the love of God teach you the way to "walk in habitual fellowship" with
God.  He is coming for those who are so in love with Him that they can't
get enough of Him.  Right where you are, forgive yourself for trying to
do it man's way, now let Holy Spirit show you the way.  You will delight to walk all day in the presence of God, that's habitual fellowship.  It will be said of all of us, "and they were not, for God took them home with Him."
 
Love,

Good Morning,
  

The Spirit of the Lord says;
  
   

    There are moments in deep worship where I bring you to gaze
upon My loveliness.  As you gaze upon Me you are continually being
changed into My very own image.  As you keep gazing, you will see those
things that once hindered you from being truly free, fall from you like
a feather blowing in the wind.  For what was hard for you is nothing but
dust in the wind to Me.  You will become free to follow Me up to
mountains of victory.  Every mountain of testing and trouble has
prepared you, so that you are able to navigate easily the new mountains
of victory.  As you go up higher, where the altitude is thinner you will
be able to maintain a soundness, where those who have never been up so
high would fall away and faint.  You have allowed yourself to be trained
by Me in those difficult places and steep areas that were meant to bring
you down, instead you developed the 'hinds feet.'

   
    At this high altitude, it is a place of great light for
understanding and revelation.  You will begin to understand those deep
things now, for I have taken you into My light, that minimizes
obscurity.  Yet, be aware at the same time that this
great light of revelation comes, it will be accompanied by great persecution
When you receive deeper insight, you will have more responsibility for
what I give to you.  You must handle with wisdom what I give.  For to
whom much is given, much is required.  Treat this next level as a prized
treasure, for I am bringing to the surface all that will advance My
Kingdom.  Remember it is My Kingdom that you are living for, it is not
for yourself or another.  Use it as I direct and only into the arenas
that I instruct.  This great light is come for you, so that you
may rise and shine and bring those who have been crying to see the
light.  You will be a reservoir for them, not a pool.  I will pour you
out freely to all that I will send you to.  Obedience is what I require. 
Obedience is simple if you love Me.  As you step up into the light you
are moving further away from darkness, and as you move up you will
incur jealousy, persecutions and hatred.  It will be from those who say
they are in the light, yet their hatred, jealousy and persecutions stem
from the force of darkness.  They who do evil hate the light.  For they
who persecute My children, who walk in the light, they are persecuting
Me.  From these, withdraw!  Do not be afraid to keep walking closer to Me
and My light, let your love for Me be your driving force.  The false
have always persecuted the real.  Now My children who are
children of the light
will be reflecting the light of heaven.  Duplicating what they have seen
in the heavenlies, from their times of deep worship.  Living in what to
some may be the 'miraculous' will become normal to My light-walkers.

 

Love,


Pastor D.

Ears to Hear (Part 33)

Good Morning,
 
    Recently, I went to Mt. Vernon, the home of the first president
of the United States of America.  As I saw all of his accomplishments
and heard again the history of George Washington, I thought about the
life that he lived and how he lived it to the fullest.  His bravery on
the battlefield, his integrity in the office of the president, and his
affection for this land, was all overshadowed by his love and care for
his family.  All around in the old mansion, was the evidence of his love
of living and enjoying life.  I thought about his prosperity and how
generous he was with those he loved.  I thought about my own generosity. 
How generous was I really?
    This scripture came to mind; I Timothy 6:17-19, says, "Teach
those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in
their money, which is so unreliable.  Their trust should be in God, who
richly gives us all we need for our
enjoyment.  Tell them to
use their money to do good.  They should be rich in good works and
generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.
 
All
of us as believers have heard numerous prophecies regarding the
end-time transference of wealth. [Prov. 13:22, "A good man leaves an
inheritance to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner
{finds its way eventually} into the hands of the righteous, for whom it
was laid up.]  When we hear this, most of us can see ourselves out of
debt and enjoying everyday living to the fullest, with our wealth.  Our
new car, our new house, our expensive clothes, the list goes on.  Where
does the scripture that we read in Timothy fit in to our wealth?
    Let's look at Luke 16:10-12, " If you are faithful in
little things, you will be faithful in large ones.  But if you are
dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater
responsibilities.  And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth,
who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?  And if you are not
faithful with other people's things, why should you be trusted with
things of your own."
 
Do you know that right now, with the
'little' wealth that you have been entrusted with, you are showing how
faithful you will be later, with more?  Are you faithful with your
tithes now?  Do you do good with the wealth you have now?  Do you give generously to those in need now?  Are you always ready to share with others, now
If not, work on that now!  "Do not be deceived and misled, you cannot
mock or ridicule God, you always harvest [reap] whatever you plant
[sow].  Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will
harvest decay and death from that sinful nature.  But those who live to
please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit."
(Gal.6:8)
    Yes, there will be a wealth transfer!  Are you preparing to
receive, so that you can distribute freely as directed by the Lord.  Of
course, you will be taken care of.  You will be the vessel of God's
choosing.  "For God gives to a man that is good in His sight wisdom,
and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner He gives travail, to gather
and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God…."
(Eccl.2:26) 
"So let's not get tired of doing good [now].  At just the
right time we will reap a 'harvest of blessing' if we don't give up. 
Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to
everyone–especially to those in the family of faith." (Gal.6:9-10) 
Do good, give, be generous, now!!  You are setting yourself up for the transfer, for the harvest of blessing!
    Is it any wonder that even our transfer of wealth comes from the
place of God's great love.  It is still the foundation of all things
that comes to us from God.  All the while we are growing up in love and
expanding our ability to receive and give.  We are looking more like our
Daddy now.
Love,

Pastor D.
