Only hear My voice and know that My voice is one of kindness, one that encourages and uplifts.

Good morning,
 
     Only hear My voice and know that My voice is one of kindness, one that encourages and uplifts. Understand that I saw you, and I knew you even before you were in your mother's womb, I knew you and I said well done, it is good!  I took you and I fashioned you, and I brought you into this world that you might affect and cause a change by your life in this world.  You are to take this world by storm by your anointing that I have placed in and upon you.  I have great purpose and great destiny for you, and your eyes have not yet begun to see what I Am doing.  I have been doing many things in the secret but now, says the Spirit of grace, now, the world needs to see the things that I have been working on in the dark.  I am taking back the covers off of My children in order that the world might see who you really are, and those who are for Me, they will be stronger and bolder than they have ever experienced in their life.  They will decree a word and it shall come to pass because they have been found in the secret place with Me.  When you open your mouth to speak you will be amazed at what you will hear.  It is because you have been found in the secret place with Me where you have been fashioning yourself in the image of your Father.  I have heard your cry to be more like Me, it has always been My desire for you to be just like Me.  There will be great arranging in the inside as you see yourself being a vessel of love and power.  Children of the most high God, walking in the midst of the world changing and disrupting the plans of the enemy by your very presence alone.  So open your eyes and your ears to the great destiny and the purpose that will unfold before your eyes, for you are  prepared to walk in it now.  So remember where you came from, humble yourself, turn all the glory over to Me for it is Mine.  Bring to your remembrance that it is I, and I alone who formed you and made you for this time and this season.  It is My time to make all things beautiful.  The world needs you, so step up and declare, open your mouth in love, and the power that is within will come forth.  This is the season of My children coming forth.  The whole creation has awaited this time.  No more backing down, no more biting your tongue, open your mouth and I will fill it with power of the Kingdom.
 
     "But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.'  Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people." (Ezek. 3:27)
     "As for me, I will continue beholding Your face in righteousness (rightness, justice, and right standing with You); I shall be fully satisfied, when I awake [to find myself] beholding Your form [and having sweet communion with You]." (Ps. 17:15)
     "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." (Job 22:28)

Good morning,
 
     In this moment My people will rise because of the sound that is coming from heaven, and it is a great sound of change that is shaking the whole atmosphere.  It is causing things that have been set into motion, to be changed by the sounds that We are sending forth.  I Am reversing every curse that the enemy has sent against you.  This is a time of rejoicing for My people.  Others may not see the moment, others may not seize the moment, but those who will have their hands lifted up in total surrender, they will recognize the time.  There is a set time says the Lord and I have called My people to this time. There is always a set time that I call My people to behold My love moving upon their lives, and those who are my people they recognize the sound.  It is like the pool of Bethesda, an angel went down at a certain season and troubled the water, it was a due time, a kairos time.  So shall this certain season come suddenly upon My own who are expecting Me.  Because you are My own you will recognize the sound that is coming from heaven, you will be alerted and your senses will be sharpened, and you will be more attentive to My voice.  You will do things that others cannot account for, or understand, and you will say, "I've heard from the Father", and then the set time will cause a move.  It is time to do the things that I have called you to do, even in the midst of fear.  My great power and great love shall abolish the fear that has tried to enter into your life and affect your effectiveness.  
     You shall rise boldly and speak to those spirits that are trying to shut you up, by trying to control you and make you do things that you know in your heart are not sound and according to My word and My promises.  You shall arise boldly and declare in this moment, and in this season that you are in, that it is the due time that I Am calling all praisers and worshipers to rise with My Word in their mouth boldly declaring, boldly going forth, boldly saying what I Am saying.  No matter what the circumstances look like, no matter what your body and mind may feel like you will stand boldly declaring what I Am declaring.  When you do so, great things shall come to you like never before.  Doors and gates that have been closed up until this time, they will open wide for you, for I the King of glory have gone ahead of you to open those doors and those gates. Gates of generations, gates of oppression, gates of depression, all the gates that the enemy has sent into your life to close you off so that you may not be discerning, they will be abolished. I am opening wide gates of freedom, love, wholeness, and prospering in every area of your life, you will walk free and bold. You will take captive every demonic spirit, yes demonic spirits and strongholds that have tried to hold you back.  Great power and love shall make my people move forward.
 
     "Yes, he did mighty miracles and we are overjoyed!  Now, Lord, do it again!  Restore us to our former glory!  May streams of your refreshing flow over us until our dry hearts are drenched again.  Those who sow their tears as seeds will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee.  They may weep as they go out carrying their seed to sow, but they will return with joyful laughter and shouting with gladness as they bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!" (Ps. 126:3-6)
 
     "Your gates will be open continually; They shall not be shut day or night, So that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations—With their kings led in procession." (Is.60:11)
 
     "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]." (2 Tim. 1:7)

 “I will give My people a river of peace and prosperity for the wealth of the nation shall begin to flow to them.

Shutterstock_1063994864-800x552
 
Good morning,
 
     Here is a prophetic word that the Lord spoke to us in October 2009. God always prepares us ahead of time, making sure as we hear His counsel we prepare our lives in His Word. Many times we have to be reminded, so He speaks more than once to get and keep our attention.This was eleven years ago.
 
     "I will give My people a river of peace and prosperity for the wealth of the nation shall begin to flow to them.  As My people learn to remain stable and fixed trusting in Me for their support, the world around them is beginning to shake in fear.  Fear that has torment.  Yet, My people will be unafraid, those who receive their comfort and help from Me.  Their hearts will again rejoice and flourish like the grass!  All will see the that My hand of blessing is upon them.  I will continue to bless those who have a humble heart that tremble at My Word.  My people need not be afraid of sudden disaster or destruction that comes upon the wicked, for I Am their security.  In the midst of turbulent times My people will experience a supernatural calm.  Now, the humble in Me will be exalted and the mighty will be brought low.  This holy remnant of Mine shall carry out the work of the Kingdom as never before.  This holy, humble remnant are those who press past the veil and have known Me as Father.  Their constant intimacy has raised a stirring in My heart.  I will entrust to them the power of the ages to come.  They love my presence more than their ministry, than their goals and more than their ambitions.  They will be able to hear Me in a moments notice, they are prompt to obey, they will not be shaken, no, not even when sudden disasters come.  They are stable and fixed trusting in their God!  They will learn that I Am their treasure.  There will be a notable difference between the children of this world and My children as notable as the difference between the Israelites in the land of Goshen and the Egyptians.  I shielded and protected My children from all of the plagues that came upon Egypt.  I Am the same God, I change not.  I will be a refuge and place of safety, from all plagues now.  When My children came out of Egypt they came out with all the precious possessions of the Egyptians, after years of shame and dishonor.  I gave them double for their shame and so it will be for those who trust in Me, instead of shame and dishonor, they will enjoy a double share of honor.  They will possess a double portion of prosperity in their land.  They will feed on the treasures of the nations.  My people will know Me as their shield and their exceeding great reward!  Know Me, for it is those who know their God that will be strong! 
 
     "Thus says the Lord God: Remove the [high priest’s] miter or headband and take off the [king’s] crown; things shall not remain as they have been; the low is to be exalted and the high is to be brought low." (Ezek. 21:26)
     "After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly great." (Gen. 15:1)
     "Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you," (1 Peter 5:6)

 My people are asking what “am I” doing in the midst of this pandemic?  Many are asking where “am I” in the midst of this?

Good Morning,
 
     My people are asking what "am I" doing in the midst of this pandemic?  Many are asking where "am I" in the midst of this?  I Am where I always Am, I Am right in the midst, I Am the same deliverer and preserver.  In this time and in this season that you are in, I have allowed the wheat and the tare to grow together.  I have allowed the sheep and the goat to feed together and now in the midst of this I am separating.  I Am separating the wheat from the tare, I Am separating the sheep from the goat by My spirit.  I Am making a difference between those who are Mine and those who are not.  Those who are Mine, they are beginning to burn even brighter.  Like the city on a hill, their light is becoming extreme.  Their light is causing many to turn and see that there is a difference between those who are  completely mine and those who have been in My house who have not been faithful to Me.  So hold on to My hands, and do not change, for I am unchanging.  Do not alter your stand for Me, for as you stand strongly with Me and for Me, I will see to it that you are overcomers.  I will bring to your hands all that I have laid up for you.  Those hidden riches in secret places that I have kept for you will be given.  Because of your faithfulness you will abound in many areas, not only in the prosperity of this world, but in the spiritual richness that I placed on the inside of you.  It will come from you, flowing freely because you have sat and basked in the beauty of your Father.  You have stayed in My presence in the midst of diverse trials and tribulations, you remained faithful.  I will crown you with beauty and glory that this world has never seen.  You will be different, unique, do not try to be like everybody else for I have caused that separation to come.  Be bold, be strong, be courageous and shine brightly for the world needs the light that is being pulled forth from you during the dark hours of life.  Do not put out the light on the inside of you, let it shine forth brightly.  Follow Me, I will show you the way during this season.  Stay close, every step that I take, take the same steps, do not try to get ahead of Me, neither lag behind Me.  I never forsake My own, never, in the midst of every famine and every plague, I have always protected, preserved and prospered My own, so that they would know Me as all that they need.  I Am Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who sees and provides.
 
     "Lord, you are my secret hiding place, protecting me from these troubles, surrounding me with songs of gladness!  Your joyous shouts of rescue release my breakthrough." (Ps. 32:7)
 
     "You shall also be [so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as] a crown of glory and honor in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God." (Is. 62:3)
 
     "You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and deeds and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (Matt. 5:14-16)

Good morning,
 
     I see birth coming forth and in the process of birth, there is pressing that must be done.  The pressing causes the birth to go through a narrow pathway and through the narrow pathway there is squeezing and more pressure applied to bring forth life.  So, are you in this moment in your life. There are pressures coming from every side, almost strange and unusual pressures.  They are trying to press out of you the promises and other pressure tries to take away from you the promises, because out of the same canal of birth and life comes those things that are disposed of and those things that bring life.  So I say to you in this moment, in this hour that you are in, the pressure that has come, the enemy has tried to destroy the promises that I have given you.  But I have allowed the pressures in your life, to bring forth greater life for more abundant living.  And those things that seems strange, those things that you have walked in this season that you have never seen or known, it is to bring forth the life, fresh new life because in order to receive the promise, you must go through pressure.  The pressure squeezes out everything else to bring both the promise of life, living, the destiny and the assignments of the things that I have called you to do says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  So allow the pressing to come forth. I know how it feels to you in the natural but these things must be in order for life to come forth.  Receiving the promise takes faith, as you can see through My servants of old, they were purified, they were purged, they were pressed in order to bring forth the promise.  Every man and woman of God that I call goes through a press in order to come forth into the new.  So I am bringing forth new life from you and the pressure that you are feeling, don't allow the enemy to cause you to have disdain.   
     Stay in My presence, and you will see those things that the enemy meant for your harm, I have a way of turning them around for your good and only your good says the Lord. I will bring forth from you that desired thing that I want.  I will bring forth from you, a fresh new presence, new hunger, new zeal, a new taste for more of Me.  That is what I Am requiring in this moment, in this season of My children, that they will begin to turn every desire towards Me.  And as you do says the Lord, when the pressing is more than you can bear, I will provide a safe place, you will come forth as pure gold.  There will be nothing withheld from you in this moment, in this time, in this season that you are in, you will be able to do it.  So press, press towards the things that are eternal, press towards the things that bring eternal life says the Lord, leave the temporary things behind and press towards the eternal.

     "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." (Matt. 5:6)
     “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn.  This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LordAnd this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord." (Is. 54:17)
     "As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands." (Ps. 119:143)
     "But He knows the way that I take [He has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it].  When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold [pure and luminous]." (Job 23:10)

There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place. 

 
Good morning,
 
     There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place.  Some that were slightly out of order, others that were totally crooked.  I Am releasing into your life new strategies to help you overcome.  What may look like failure and the end is only a door opening to new plans to shift you into your large place.  This will be a time of acceleration in those areas where it seemed that the "spiritual vultures" were circling.  The old strategies and tactics that you tried to follow, because it worked for someone else, yet they never worked for you, have finally been released from your hands.  You have cried out to Me, and better still, you waited on Me to reveal to you My steps for you.  Now stay in the position of having your neck stretched out in anticipation of the surprises and tokens that I have for My obedient ones.  Breakthrough, advancement, and improvements will arise in every area of your life that you have yielded to Me.  Many of My people will be loosed from places where they have been held captive in their lives.  Places where they sense that they have lost their purpose and their call.  Here I will renew your joy of serving and loving Me.  I will amplify your sensitivity to My gifts.  You will begin to operate from a high place of the Spirit in your day to day lives, for you are My temple.  As you yield daily to the gifts, you will hear me lead you in the way that you should go.  Opportunities will be easily attainable and the limits have been lifted that kept you bound, for you have been found faithful.  Barriers that kept you from stepping over into the territory that I have already given you, will be blown over.  Listen, for I will speak in the night seasons as well as when you walk by the way through dreams, visions, and by the light of My Word.
     All of these precious promises I will do for you because you have obeyed My voice and did not choose your own way over Mine.  I Am promoting in-House as well as in the market places, all that have sought after Me in a dry and weary place.  Those who have pressed after the Kingdom, when others ran to the world, because of tests, trials and tribulations.  I Am always rewarding the faithful and those who endure in Me.  Shame shall be the promotion of fools, those who do not choose obedience.  Most of all, you will be revived in your relationship with Me.  Arise My love, and take part of the fragrance of your Lover.  I Am dropping to you sweet dew from heaven to refresh you for the days ahead.  As all things begin to fall in place, remember I have given you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  Through you I Am building up the the ruined places and raising up the places of devastation, so that I may be glorified and that you may be known as My minister of righteousness.
 
     "If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;" (Is. 1:19)
 
     "To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified" (Is. 61:3)
 
     "My brothers and sisters, take the prophets as your mentors. They have prophesied in the name of the Lord and it brought them great sufferings, yet they patiently endured.  We honor them as our heroes because they remained faithful even while enduring great sufferings.  And you have heard of all that Job went through and we can now see that the Lord ultimately treated him with wonderful kindness, revealing how tenderhearted he really is." (James 5:10-11)

 
     "They all ate the same heavenly manna and drank water from the same spiritual rock that traveled with them—and that Rock was Christ himself.  Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their dead bodies were scattered around the wilderness.  Now, all these things serve as types and pictures for us—lessons that teach us not to fail in the same way by callously craving worthless things." (1 Corin. 10:3-6)

My mercy has always hovered over you keeping you, from the very beginning when you made Me your Lord and Savior.

Lightstock-424375-small-user-43207920_orig
 
Good morning,
 
     My mercy has always hovered over you keeping you, from the very beginning when you made Me your Lord and Savior.  Keeping you safe from the harm, the plan, and the devices of the enemy for I knew what his plan of destruction was in your life so I hovered over you, My children with My mercy.  Know that every time a misstep was taken I was there with My mercy to pull you back up and to encourage you, placing you once again on your way.  Every time you are aiming for the target and you missed it, understand that I was curing and healing on the inside, every time it was My mercy that covered you and kept you, because you did aim.  My Word in you has kept you in a sound mind in a sound state of living for Me.  It has been My mercy that gathered you up when you felt like you could not carry on.  It was My mercy that kept you in the night season when thoughts were bombarding your mind and you could not see the way out, because of the many things that were coming against you.  It was My mercy that hovered over you enabling you to rise and run the race.  It was My mercy that caused your broken body to be made whole.  When all other avenues were cut off My mercy paved the way.  I have never given up on you, mercy is powerful and motivated by My great love and compassion for you.  It is My mercy that will carry you through all the way to the end, it is My mercy.  So call upon My mercy, for it is needed in such a time as you are living in.  Do not ever forget or enter your equation of living without putting mercy in.  My mercy will help you make it through, will cause you to be the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath.  It is a preserving mercy, it is an anointed mercy.  It causes you to be anointed even when you don't sense it.  Every time you mess up, mercy cleans you up and covers you with My glory, because you are aiming for the target by trying.  This I know.  I will carry you through says the Lord, for I Am faithful to keep My promises to you. 
 
     "It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail.  They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness, they fail not." (Lam. 3:22-23)
     "I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward." (Phil.3:13-14)
     "Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail)" (Ps. 55:22)

 In My House there is coming a necessary change, for awhile there has been indifference towards My Word. 

32149965a87a17c089af1c32fe41eb99
 
Good morning,
 
     In My House there is coming a necessary change, for awhile there has been indifference towards My Word.  I have heard the cries of My children for holiness and purity to flood My House.  True conversions will happen in My House, it will come from longing hearts.  Many have fallen into spiritual apathy in My House and I do see and recognize, it is because they have put their eyes and their faith in many others.   Yet, I have said in My Word to follow those who follow Christ.  This is the time that My holy remnant will arise and shake this world for a great awakening to Me and My Word.  A fresh new zeal will blow in My House for those who have withstood the pleas of this false church to have an adulterous relationship with it.  Zeal to speak My truth, zeal to seek and save the lost, zeal to stand against the false gods of this world's system.  I Am awakening the last day anointing upon the remnants of My prophets, teachers, apostles, pastors and evangelists.  For I have some who have not bowed to the god of this world's system and the evil that has darkened the gaze of the eyes of many that once ran true for Me.  It is not how you start the race, but how you finish the course.  The spirit that antagonizes My unknown end time warriors has been cast down by them.  Fear will no longer keep them from rising up and declaring truth, my righteous ones are bolder now.  All that will come at this time will not play the harlot.  All the other lovers will begin to abandon them, and loyalty to Me will be upper most in their hearts.  As the world of darkness goes into a spiral of wickedness, that has spun its tail into My House, My warriors will come forth unashamedly to defend My truth.  I will anoint them at this time to do amazing things that will cause many who see to leave their gods and turn to Me, the One and only true God.  Households that have been in crooked disrepair will be touched by one who will walk in the fullness of My Word.  Churches that were at the brink of disaster, only because men would rather believe a lie rather than truth, will see that I have not forgotten their faithfulness to Me.  I will visit them afresh and anew and revivals will begin to burst forth like fire in a dry and desert land.  They have kept the flames burning even in the midst of great persecution.  I will start in the small places, to make My name known among men once again, and they will know that it was not by their power, or their might, or their wisdom, all glory and honor will belong to Me.  They will tell all that I, the Lord, once again Am walking through the House where I Am truly honored and revered.  Look and see, I Am still working My Word in the midst of all who believe and obey Me!  I will be honored in My House!  Many other houses that still bear My name will began to self-destruct because of the deception that flows from the lips of men, that they have revered more than Me.  Many have made an addendum to My Word and placed clauses and changed My Word to accommodate their sins.  These places will become more obvious that they stand for nothing, places where many have slid back from their once great love for Me.  Now, because they have beguiled and led astray many by enticing words of men wisdom, many souls have left their first love and sold their birthright for a porridge of flesh.  I stand and shout to them, "come back now, while the way is still available."  For you My faithful remnant, stay ready for the help I Am sending to you now! 
 
     "For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.  You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth?" (Gal. 5:6-7)
     "I want you to know this so that no one will come and lead you into error through their persuasive arguments and clever words.  Even though I’m separated from you geographically, my spirit is present there with you.  And I’m overjoyed to see how disciplined.  In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him!  Your spiritual roots go deeply into his life as you are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way.  For you are established in the faith you have absorbed and enriched by your devotion to him!  Beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic.  For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the anointed truths of the Anointed One." (Col. 2:4-8)
     "But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce and difficult for the people of God People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money.  They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right.  They will ignore their own families.  They will be ungrateful and ungodly.  They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander.  Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.  With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God.  They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power.  Stay away from people like these!" (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

     Now more than ever before is time for you to take a stand, keep your position and do not be moved.  Every thing has tried to get you to take steps back and the push is from the spirit of the wicked one.  I have taken delight in many of My strong ones that have learned to lean on Me, when the storms of great adversities began to try and blow them off course.  My strong ones have held on tight to My Word and have refused all of the lies of this world and of the spirit of religion.  My children have not committed adultery with the idols of this world and all of its enticements to sin.  They have looked right on, in spite of the many distractions that have tried to pull them to other ways.  Now, listen, My strong ones, when you hear My voice you must not halt between two opinions.  You must be quick and powerful to stop the smooth talking lies of the enemy.  We knew this time would come, where you would be tried and your faith tested, and you have fought a good fight.  Continue to hold fast to My promises, and do not be weary in doing right.  I see all that you have done in My name, and not one of those labors of love have been forgotten.  Just as you have endured some things that you could have never seen coming, wait on Me.  I have some surprises for you, yes, some things that you could never have dreamed or conceived.  All of My strong ones that have learned the value of patiently enduring without giving up, I have laid up for you gifts and benefits that you will begin to see crop up in your daily life.  I have prepared this strong generation of righteous ones to carry forth a mighty work now at the time of the end.  We will produce a great bang!  All will pay attention and take notice of My children.  All who have set their faces like a flint, and have refused to back down and give any place to the enemy, they will enjoy a new level of walking in a heightened awareness of the Kingdom and heaven's aid.  They will be more attuned to the assistance from the ministering angels and they will be more in harmony with Holy Spirit.
     You will hear Me with greater clarity which will make you more perceptive and make your steps more accurate.  You will be My holy instrument to strike down the strongholds of the enemy.  You will be so sharp that you will easily slice through barriers, obstacles, and hindrances.  Many will see that you have truly gone through a renewal, you will no longer be the same.  You will now allow the transforming power of your Father to work through you, not tampered with.  You will no longer try to water down all that I cause to move through you just to be palatable to man.  This is the greatest time to be alive and living in Me, for together we are about to do marvelous wonders.  My strong ones and I will be like a shooting star as it blazes across the night skies, so we will blaze across the dark night of evil, everyone will look and be amazed, for We will shine!  Many will come and be snatched from hell's fire because you will walk in the days of every opportunity that "I Am" presented to you now.
 
     "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish." (Is. 41:10-11)
     "But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." (1 Tim. 6:11-12)
     "For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can he forget the work you have done for him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve his beloved ones for the glory of his name.  But we long to see you passionately advance until the end and you find your hope fulfilled. So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance."  (Heb. 6:10-13)
 
Love,

 Change is nothing to fear, in fact, the way that you have been doing things warrants change.

Good morning,
 
     Change is nothing to fear, in fact, the way that you have been doing things warrants change.  You have been trying to do things your own way, and the voice of reason comes in and says, do it My way.  My way brings ease.  Change promotes you, change causes you to grow up, change causes you to see things as I see them, change is nothing to fear.  So as you allow Me to do the changes that are necessary for growth, understand that it may hurt just a little bit, but it is for your good.  The hurt comes when you release the familiar that has kept you from pressing forth into change.  I Am allowing the things in your life to shift somewhat for change, for it is for your benefit.  It is to cause you to breathe better, it will help you to see things the way that I see them clearer, walk more precisely, and be more diligent about My ways.  Everything happens to move you into a position to hear Me, to follow Me.  Understand that all things are rapidly shifting in the earth and I need you to be in the right place at the right time.  The enemy has tried to keep you bound so that you will not hearken to Me, and so that you can not see Me when I move and how.  He uses those things that are familiar, and ways that you have become accustomed to living in, be wise.  He uses familiar things to get your attention and your affection over on those things, people, and or feelings, so that you will not shift when I say shift,  you will not move when I say move, because you are holding on to usual, customary, and familiar things.
     Let go of those things, for they are actually binding you.  I will cause you to rise to a new place in Me, and that place is a place of stability.  I know the enemy has been whispering that the new place will cause your feet to shift like sand, but sand compacted together by Me becomes very secure and large, says the Lord.  So I Am saying, if you will allow Me, I will place your feet on the the firmest foundation ever known to you. Then the steps that you take will be steps that I have taken before you, thereby I will lead you into a place of truth, peace, and the place of your destiny.  Everything is shifting for your good, it is not to cause harm to you, for I Am your Father.  I love you, and everything that I do for you is for your good.
 
     "There is no fear in love [dread does not exist].  But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]." (1 John 4:18)
     “Stop dwelling on the past.  Don’t even remember these former things.  I am doing something brand new, something unheard of.  Even now it sprouts and grows and matures.  Don’t you perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert." (Is. 43:18-19) 
     "Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you.  Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour.  Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith.  For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.  And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever.  Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up." (1 Peter 5:7-10)
 
Love,
