Ears to Hear (Part 31)

Good Morning,

We are living in the most exciting time in God's timetable! As we read the Word of God it is almost like having a panoramic view of our news at eleven. The Word of God is daily unfolding before our very eyes. As we see what is happening in Israel and also what is going on in our very own neck of the world, it should be fueling your fire for more of God. Romans 8:19-25 says, "For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who His children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God's curse (because of the fall of mankind). But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as His adopted children, including the new bodies He has promised us. We were given this hope when we were saved [if we already have something, we don't need to hope for it.] But if we look forward to something we don't yet have, we "must wait patiently and confidently."

We are in the season of God's timetable, where all that can be shaken is being shaken. All false foundations and securities are being shaken and removed. Anything we thought that was our security is being revealed as sinking sand. Our trust must be developed in the One true security. Remember we saw in Hebrews 12:26 & 27, "Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also. This means that all creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things remain." God and His Kingdom are the only things that are secure. While the economy, jobs, people, nations, and earthly kingdoms are shaking, we must look up to our Kingdom, whose Builder and Maker is God. As ambassadors from God's Kingdom, when the land that we occupy as ambassadors proves to be intolerable, the ambassadors are brought back to their homeland. Our King is about to call all of his ambassadors home! So, keep your mind on your 'eternal home', we are only here temporarily, representing our 'heavenly country'. I've heard it said, "that sometimes we are so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good." I have come to see the opposite is true, 'that we can become to earthly minded to be any heavenly good'. After all our 'home' is in heaven and we receive our insight to live and to occupy this land from the headquarters in heaven. "…Aim at and seek the rich eternal treasures that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth." (Col.3: 1-2) So, let the earth shake and groan into 'global warming', it is going through death and decay because of sin. Creation, your wait is almost over, the sons of God are being manifested now. We are growing up into mature sons of God. "Besides this you know what a critical hour it is, how it is high time now for us to wake up out of our sleep. For salvation [final deliverance] is nearer to us now than when we first believed." (Romans 13:11)

Good Morning,

In the grand scheme of things, I have often wondered {Okay, I know all about having a wandering mind, hear me out first!

},
I have wondered, am I fulfilling my destiny and purpose for life. My
purpose according to God's design. Basically, it's because I don't feel
like I have a great, big, awesome vision. Well, today as I was talking
to God, He let me know how He thinks about it and what is most
important to Him. I Corin. 12:4-7 says, "There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There
are different kinds of services, but we serve the same Lord. God works
in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of
us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so that we can help each other.
I used this scripture to say that we all are important to God.
Sometimes we forget that the greatest ministry goes on in the most
'normal' life settings. I often get this impression from the Lord that
it will not be the 'world's most anointed evangelists', or the
'well-known teachers', or the 'greatest apostles', or the 'mega-church
pastors', or the most 'accurate prophets', that will receive the
grandest reward from God, when we all
get to heaven or even here on earth. I get the impression from Father
God, that it will be the ones that have simply obeyed Him to the best
of their ability, everyday of their lives. Whether, they are in the
five-fold ministries or the youngest Christian. Obeying Him is the
atmosphere for the anointing.

With that being said, I'd like to give 'proper honor' to all of
you. To the single mom and dad, who seeks the face of God for their
children, and by faith keeps going on! I say, use your gifts to the Glory of God.

To the 'stay at home mom' who may feel ridiculed and looked down
upon, that senses the pressure to get out into the work force, but
feels the calling to minister her gifts to her children. I say,
minister on!

To the 'working class' who gets up and goes the same route and
endures the challenges of their jobs. At times it seems like your
dreams of being your own boss is in limbo, and all your creative juices
are drying up. I say your gifts will make room for you.

To all the bosses of big and small corporations, I say lead on by
Godly example. Remembering, you have been placed their to let your
gifts shine for God. To all saints, small and great, those who feel
significant and those who haven't recognized their significance yet, we
want you to know, you are necessary!!!

To all, pastors, prophets, teachers, evangelist, and apostles,
that have stepped out into your calling, and have yet to see all the
prophecies fulfilled that was spoken over your lives. We say keep on
running with your gifts.

Listen to the what the Word says; "Yes, the body has many parts, not just one part…..Our body has many parts, and God has put each part just where He wants it. How strange a body would be if it only has one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body…….In fact, some parts of the body that seems the weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the
greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be
seen, while the more honorable parts do not require this special care [that means all the seen-parts already receive honor like pastors, prophets, teachers, etc]. So God put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less
dignity. This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each others….." (I Corin. 12:14-25) This protects against a big head and false pride.

So, God made us all to receive the same honor, no matter what part we do in the body of Christ,
whether it is caring for babies in the nursery or taking the gospel
around the world. We are all equal in due-honor. As long as we are
fulfilling our call and being in our place. "So be careful that you are
not saying, "I am not part of the body because I am not the hand, or I
am not part of the body because I am not the eye", would that make it
any less a part of the body? ( I Corin. 12:14-15) If we are all
placed strategically by God where we can perform the best, to enable
the "Body of Christ' to be it's best, then we need to be glad about it!
Do not be envious, jealous, desirous, mad or angry at the other parts,
but give honor to them. Celebrate their part, we are one!! I need you
and all that you bring to me and vice-versa. We are given to help each
other, by ourselves we would be nothing, but together we make up the
Body. Honor means to love and prefer the other part more
than yourself; to respect, admire and recognize the differences; to
treat as superior; to defer to by giving glory to; desiring one for
their intrinsic value [their own unique, beauty, whether seen or not so
easily apparent]. Today, I give you praise for what you add
to the Body. You are honored by each and everyone of us. Thank you for
allowing yourselves to be a blessing to all of the rest of the Body. I
prefer, respect, admire, recognize, and defer to your beauty,
uniqueness and your superior quality.

Love,

Pastor D.

Ears to Hear (Part 29)

Good Morning,

As I waited on the Lord to see what he would say to Me for this day, I received two thoughts that was on His heart. I will attempt to share them with you now.

First, this year 2009, is a year of "finality and judgment." Finality, for years of seeds that have laid dormant in our lives. The seeds being, those prophetic words and promises that you have kept and have warred for, by consistently confessing the prophetic words. Holding on to them when it looked like they had dried up on the vine. This is the final year and then a beginning of great harvest, a multiplied harvest. Judgment in the sense that judgment is defined as — a definitive or an authoritative decision; a formal utterance or pronouncing of an authoritative opinion; an official decree. Is. 42:8,9; says, "I Am the Lord that is my name! And My glory will I not give to another nor My praise to graven images. Behold, the former things have come to pass and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them." Job 22:28 says, "You shall also decide and decree a thing and it shall be established for you and the light of God's favor shall shine upon your ways. When they make you low, you will say, there is a lifting up and the humble person He lifts up and saves." I believe God is telling us that this year what we decree or pass judgment on in our lives will be established with a "springing forth". The word for us is up, up, up, we are going up no matter the obstacles in life. We must go up. I am awe as as I see this lived out in Israel now. There is war all around them, yet they are not backing down, their cry is that they must go up! Their Helper is God Almighty, He is the One who will help us go up also! They war with a "prophetic promise"; that Jerusalem was given to them by God, and they received it and won't be denied. Let's war with our promised word!!!

The second thought is that intimacy is the breeding ground for trust. Intimacy is knowing the genuine inner core of someone; indicative of ones deepest nature, interconnected, interwoven, interrelated, very close connection. We discussed this in an earlier message. We understand that God will share His secrets with those who are intimate with Him. Psalm 25:14 says, "The secret [of sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning." The Message Bible says it this way, "God-friendship is for God-worshipers; they are the ones He confides in." I want to be one of those that God confides in, don't you? Connect that thought with this one in Matthew 5:8 – "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." Pure means, clean and clear, free from dust, dirt or taint, free from harshness or roughness, containing nothing that impairs or that is hurtful, free from what harms, weakens or pollutes, uncontaminated. This is the character that God by His Spirit helps us to become and then He delights to have intimate relationship with the pure in heart. While we are becoming more intimate with Him, our hearts are being made more pure. That is how trust is built and He then confides with the pure in heart and shares His secrets with them. I want a pure heart so I must stay in the presence of the Purifier of hearts. Then, what I decree will come from a pure heart not a dirty, tainted, polluted, harsh, hurtful, harmful and rough heart. When I come from the place of intimacy with God and having a pure heart then my decrees will be backed with pure love. Since, love never fails [1 Corin. 13:8], then my decrees will not fail, they will be with finality and judgment! We have a lot of prophetic promises this year, miracles, transitions, enlargement, and greater glory, etc. It all begins with a pure heart. Remember, God is a God of the heart, who knows our thoughts, motives and intents. Let's strive for a pure heart.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says:

Remember the first love we enjoyed together! The days when you innocently began to desire Me, when you yearned to truly know Me. How you longed to know me. It was beautiful and you began the journey towards Me. I made you enticingly beautiful for Me, and your heart was very sensitive to My every Word.

Then you began to want something more, more like the place that I delivered you from. You began to long for the old familiar lovers, those who hurt you, abused you, ripped you of your honor and stripped you of your dignity. Those who stole your innocence and broke you into many tiny pieces. They made you lie, cheat, steal and even sell yourself for their pretentious love. The lovers who did not see the costly value of you. By the time you finally gave up and let go of the abuse of their love, you were shattered and broken. Yes, and remember I was there waiting for you to realize that there was real love for you. I then began to fix every broken place that was in tiny pieces. I never caused you any more damage, but gently and lovingly I repaired and replaced every broken dream and every shattered vision. I found you in the place of despair and right there I healed you and loved you. I placed in you and upon you My precious jewels; tenderness, kindness, meekness, joy, peace, goodness, faithfulness, self-control and love. I placed upon you a garment of praise for that spirit of heaviness, beauty for ashes of your broken life. I continued giving to you, a shield of faith, a helmet of salvation, belt of truth, a breastplate of righteousness and I placed on your feet the gospel of peace. I pulled your face out of the muck that your old lovers left you in. I have caused you to stand. I pre-pared and pre-paid a place for you, a place beyond all your dreams and imaginations. I have given you a place of honor with kings.

Now would you turn back to the place I picked you up from? What desires are you really longing for? It is the mind set of one who has never experienced My true love. You behave as one that hasn't known My presence. I desire for you to know Me more intimately, yet you desire the dung of this world.

Hear My voice as I again tenderly call you back to Me. Come away with Me, My fair one, come away where the little foxes cannot spoil our vineyard of love. Come away and come closer that you can look and gaze deeply into My eyes and see the longing that I have for you. You will remain Mine, only Mine. Your adulterous heart will be replaced with a faithful heart. For I Am a jealous love and I must have your heart alone, you must have eyes only for Me. Make your love "One" true love and make it Me. I Am awaiting your reply. Let it be, yes, for this will make you truly alive, living in My love!

Do not allow traditions of men, religious exercises, old loves and lovers of sin to separate you from Me. Run to Me and run away from the "old familiar voices". I have given you My life, so now live it with Me. A lifetime of committed love. You have spent your life trying to get love from all others, all that I am asking is that you receive all that I have to give to you. Say yes to true love.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

Habbakuk 3:19; "The Lord God is my Strength, my personal
bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds feet and
will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and
make spiritual progress upon my high place [of trouble, suffering, or
responsibility]! "

The Spirit of the Lord says;

I Am calling you up to the highest place, to the mountain of the
Lord. All this time you have been going through a refining process. I
Am bringing up to the surface of your life, the gold that has been
buried deep in you, My grand purpose and plan for you before the enemy
set out to try to kill, steal and destroy it. It has been buried
because of old dirt. The old dirt of your past
and of previous generational weaknesses. The gold is priceless, it's
value will begin to go up and up. This refining process has brought
fires, fires of testing and fires of purification, removing the 'dirt of fear', 'the dirt of low self image', the 'dirt of repeated failures', all the 'dirt of the old man', and all the other dirty lies
of the wicked one. As you continue walking up towards Me, you
have increased in your ability and in your stability. When you slipped
and fell, you got back up, you would not quit. You heard Me, calling
you to come up higher. You threw off the dirt and begin to allow the
process of refining, becoming stronger and choosing to become a vessel
of honor.
For there were those who began this walk with you and they are
no longer here. They could not stand the intensity of the fires of
change. They could not stand the steepness of mountain climbing. As you
continued to climb up the mountain, they fell away. Sometimes it
seemed as if you could not take another step, yet you continued by
faith and motivated by love. Here is where the impossible, became
possible; you begin to learn to lean your entire personality over on
Me. When you were weak I remained strong. As you took the mountain one
step after the other, you began to realize the very thing that was sent
to destroy you, I began to turn it around for you. You started to
develop 'spiritual muscles', getting stronger even through opposing
circumstances. Every new level of the mountain you have been faced with
new levels of trouble, suffering or responsibility, yet you pressed,
becoming surefooted even in those times. I brought you up the mountain
on purpose, so that you would see the need to rid yourself of the heavy
weighted baggage that you were carrying. At each new height, you would
let go of those things that so easily beset you, desiring to be free. As
you journeyed from the place of familiarity closer to Me, you can hear
Me voice clearer. I Am saying, "Come away from the noise of living in
the valley, come where adventures of real living and great encounters
with Me will show you things to come." As you keep walking through
troubles and sufferings, I will cause you to take the mountain much
quicker now, yes, even now. Remember I know the way!

Unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred, selfishness, jealousy, pride and all of the other dirt of
your soul that have been used to try and keep you standing still in
terror or fear can not keep you down. You are walking lighter, higher
and stronger now, making strides toward Me. Let it go, let it all go!
Free to follow Me, higher still. In order to come up higher with Me, to
truly see Me as I Am, you must have a pure heart.
Therefore, you must allow the process of purification, ridding yourself
of bitterness, hatred, unforgiveness, feelings of rejection, hurt,
misuse and being abused. You must cease all forms of manipulation,
scheming to have your way and controlling others. Rebellion and secret
loathing of My Words, doubt and unbelief must come to an end. For
I Am 'God of the heart', I know your motives and the intentions of your
heart and if 'what and why' you are doing anything does not line up
with My Word, I will not and can not bless it! I know the secret
thoughts of your heart. Only those with a pure heart can see God! The
mountain journey will aid and assist in removing any and all impurities of the heart. So, let's go up!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says:

In this year ahead there will be two extremes going on in the world around you as well as in your very own world. The world's natural climate is imitating the "spiritual" climate. There are extremes going on all around us, in a very brief time set. One day springtime and the very next summer. You see I told you in advance about this and I have also prepared you. I have been building up your "spiritual", immune through the years, so that you're not as easily weakened by the conditions of the world around you. My children who have remained in My love will be able to withstand the extreme climate of any severe "spiritual" conditions. My children will be able to acclimate quickly. They have learned by the things that have "tried" them. They understand as long as they are fixed and trusting in Me they will come through victoriously. The eroding conditions of the world is indicative of the eroding conditions of the hearts of men. This condition of the heart has brought on the perilous times ahead; people are only lovers of themselves and lovers of money and things; always lusting after more things; they have become proud and boastful; they blaspheme and are proud; they are disobedient to parents; ungrateful, unholy; have no natural affection; unloving and unforgiving; liars and false accusers; truce breakers and slanderers; no self control; they are cruel and hate what is good; betrayers of their friends; reckless; they are puffed up with pride; lovers of pleasures more than lovers of Me. They will act like they know Me, but truly deny My might and My ability. These are the conditions that have intensified on the earth and caused the earth to groan under it.

This extreme climate that is in the world is where you must fight the great fight of faith and where you must remain stable and fixed throughout. You must remain "true lovers" of Me, My presence, My Word and to My people. The world will even try to twist and pervert My love, be wise and understanding. I have said that when sin runs rampant that the love of many would grow cold. This is My true love that those who once knew Me and had Me in their hearts, they will allow the climate of these days to affect My love that I placed in their hearts. Love that is unconditional and that esteems others above themselves. So my people must fight that fight of faith. This faith that will operate to its fullest potential when it is from My love. So, my children must be strong in their love for Me in the perilous times as well as in the greatest times of blessings. As you continue to seek My kingdom even in the extreme climates; [when things are going your way or when you have to stand in spite of what you see] believe Me you will have "things" added to you. For you have learned to keep your eyes on Me and I will continue to keep you in perfect peace. Peace in your mind, heart and in your emotions. As you remain steady in Me, you will see the awesomeness of My power, at aid to you and through you. I will shine through you! So no matter what lies ahead, choose My love, for I have chosen you. Stay in My love and the test, trials and tribulations will fail to shake you, neither will My blessings shake you from Me. You will always overcome as you choose to stay in love, this is what My unshakable kingdom is built upon. I have open doors that no one can shut, because you have pressed in through love and consistency. Remember to he that endures to the end, he shall be saved. Great rewards awaits those who overcome. You will not be moved!

Love,

Pastor D.

Isaiah 54:1-3; "Sing O barren one, you who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child! For the (spiritual) children of the desolate one will be more than the children of the married wife, says the Lord. Enlarge [make room, broaden and open wide] the place of you tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched [extended] out; spare not [do not refrain or restrain; do not hinder or hold back], lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes; For you shall break forth [grow; burst out, spread abroad, disperse, scatter, press and open] to the right hand and the left; and your offspring {those spiritual children} will possess the nations and make the desolate [the devastated or waste places] cities to be inhabited."

Everyone that have felt sterile or unproductive shall begin to grow, spread out and increase and bring forth in abundance, "spiritual children." The dreams, visions, talents, gifts and destinies that God has impregnated you with, are your "spiritual children." Those "spiritual children", shall be obedient to God's will, for they are His seed in you. They will come forth bringing peace [happy, friendly, health and welfare, safety and rest]. As you bring forth your "spiritual children" you will establish yourself in right-standing with God because you have conformed to do His will. Fear, terror and oppression will not come near you, for they have caused you to miscarry and not bring to full term those past visions, dreams, talents, gifts and destinies. You have been in preparation by enlarging, stretching, and lengthening yourself for you "spiritual children" = dreams, vision, talents, gifts and destinies. The room has been made and the space has been prepared to bring this new life into being. So, today let us sing out loud; I am breaking forth and I am established in right-standing for I have chosen to bring forth God's seed. I will not miscarry or abort this time, I will have this offspring! Isaiah 54:13, "And all my children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of my [spiritual children] children." Now have that baby!

Good Morning,

There is a God in heaven who reveals secrets…( Daniel
2:28). I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying:

There are some of My
children who have listened attentively to My voice and they have
yielded to My Word in simple obedience, for them revelation will flow
to give them insight into heaven's way of operating that will affect
their earthly living. It will be like we are sitting together in a room
with all distractions far removed, and the only voice you will hear
will be Mine. You will follow My instructions completely, without fear
of failing. You will be assured. You will realize that you can do all I
have called you to do. Grace will clothe you and great power will rise
up in you to complete the task that I have given you. I will double
your energy and your aide. You will begin to do things the way that it
is done in heaven. My secrets I am disclosing to the faithful. You
will be ahead of the natural, yes, and running ahead of some of your
brethren, to show them the way. Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does
anything until He reveals His plans to His servants the prophets. Many
prophets in the land, that are true prophets, but you must know to hear
Me also. I long to reveal Myself to you in a deeper way. My Word will
become so open to you, that you will understand My character through My
Word now that you couldn't see before. Your heart is clear and open
and you see that I have handed you keys to understanding mysteries. You
have delighted yourself in Me and I will cause you to ride upon the
high places of the earth. I will elevate you because you have humbled
yourself before Me.

Good Morning,

"Direct your mind in the way of the Lord…", this last part of Proverbs 23:18-19, deserves our attention today. Direct means to make straight or even, to make right or cause to make pleasant and prosperous and to take the straight way. We can keep our mind straight and even and cause our mind to look to things that are pleasant and prosperous. Prosper here means to push forward; to advance mightily; to go over and to break out. Just think on that for a moment, if I keep my mind on the ways of God at all times I'll push myself forward and I'll advance greatly. Is your mind stayed on God in all your day to day living? Is He the center of your workday, your dreams, you talents, your gifts, your entertainment and all that you are involved in? When you begin to make your plans, do you direct your mind His way? Let's face it, without directing our mind, our thinking will become twisted. Proverbs 4:23; "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." Just bring to remembrance the times that you have done things out of hatred, anger, disappointments, bitterness, frustration or even on the lighter side, you did things that were out of moments of pleasure or happy times. Times that you have directedyour mind/heart to do, things that have set you on a course of life that made your path way crooked or twisted. It was because your heart (which here denotes your mind, will and emotions) was not made to go straight or even toward God's path that was planned to push you forward. Listen to the rest of Proverbs 4:25 – 27; "Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil." You can direct your steps everyday, through and by the Word. Keeping your steps from becoming twisted and crooked, again and again.

Let's read this verse another way; "Direct your mind in the way of the Lord, hear my son and be wise. Your hope and expectation shall not be cut off, for surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward]." (Proverb 23: 18,19) I could use some of that, how about you? As I make my way even and straight according to God's word, then my hope and expectation will not be cut off. No matter how difficult it may look or how impossible it may be in the natural, if I keep my mind straight and even then my hopes and expectations will be pushed forward. The NIV translation of this verse says that I will be rewarded for directing my mind. Do you have any hopes and expectations? Expectation means a cord, like the umbilical cord; the thing that attaches and gives life; thing that I long for. God doesn't impregnate us and then not bring it to life. (Isaiah 66:9) Teach your mind the straight way and see what God will do. Psalm 62:5 – "My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him." Practice directing your mind causing it to make your way pleasant and prosperous and you will be rewarded with your hopes and expectations coming forth from the womb of your heart.

Good Morning,

The Spirit says:

I have spoken once, yet twice
have I said this to you; "Stand still and see the salvation of your
Lord!" Somehow you think that I am not working, because you don't see
in the now the activity that is going on
to bring My word to pass for you. Your angels are constantly at work, to
bring to pass My promises on the behalf of the one who believes and
stand. Do not be deceived by the scurrying around of the little foxes
of our enemy. He uses the natural forces
to get your attention on him. He does that to try and get your eyes to
roam to the left and right, keeping you trapped by the present
activities. All of the chaos of transition can leave you feeling
unsettled if you are not keeping your gaze upon Me and My promises. I
have not changed My mind concerning the prophetic Words that I have
spoken over you. They are settled with Me. Are they settled with you?
They must be, in order for you to receive them. They must always be in
your heart. I long to do those good things that I have said to you.
Yet, it is with eyes of faith that you will see the promises fulfilled.
The winds of trials and
tribulations have blown you off course. They have arisen because of the
promises, their purpose was to get you to shift your sail. You have
allowed yourself to be pushed around by these lying winds. They blow in
your ears, your eyes and through your emotions, telling you that it
will not come to pass. Resist those lying winds! I am stirring up a
fresh new wind. A sweet wind that will cause you to set your sails of
faith towards Me once again. Catch it, and flow with Me to the places
of purpose. I will set you on the straight path once again, do not be
detoured. It is a narrow and constricted path that I place you on, it
is for your good. Trust Me, I do know the way. Learn to follow Me.
No longer allow personal
pain and disappointment to cause you to stand still in fear, but stand,
fully persuaded that I am God and I cannot lie. My purposes and plans
will prevail, if you stay in the force of My wind. Only yield to My
wind, not to the winds of doubt, lies and unbelief of our enemy. If you
will only look to Me, I will raise your sights, to see farther than you
have been able to. I will lift your expectations again, with tokens of
My goodness.

I have a scripture to
share. Proverbs 23:18-19; "For surely there is a latter end [a future
and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off. Hear
My son and be wise, and direct your mind in the way of the Lord." We
will talk about that next time.

Love,

Pastor D.
