Good morning,
 
     Fresh new manna, yesterday's manna is not what I want for you everyday, for it will be like worms in your spiritual body, eating and destroying those things that I have given to you for life.  So why not partake of the fresh and the new that I Am giving to you.  Every time you come into the dwelling place of your Father, I feed you fresh new manna.  I give you those things that pertain to this day.  That is why My word says, I will give to you this day your daily bread, enough for you to eat upon, enough to take care of the things that come your way, the cares, the trials, the tribulations, the worries, the fears, all those things that would try to hinder you and stop you from advancing into Kingdom plans and  purposes that I have destined you for.  Yes, the enemy is sly and he is sneaky, cunning, and crafty, that is who he is, but I have caused you to see with My eyes the plans of the wicked one.  Every trap, every ensnarement, everything that he has planned against you, I have given you eyes to see and most of them derive from the place of fear, doubt, and unbelief. I Am causing new insight and an opening of your eyes, the clarity of your hearing to come.  It is a season of seeing and hearing and if you will stay with Me in this place, under the shadow of your Father, your God, you will not be moved.  You will not be touched and hurt by the arrows that fly by day for I have caused you to come into a secret place, a place where you ears are attentive to My voice and My voice alone.  All of the voices that are speaking to you, and there are many says the Lord, many cry out for your affection and your attention, many cry out to be heard but I have silenced those voices.  Stay under the shadow of the Almighty, you can hear clearly the things that I Am saying and with vivid clarity.  Clear vision and keen hearing will be yours, and you will walk in the light of the Word, walking in understanding and insight and knowing your Father intimately.  Know My voice and know My plan and know the destiny I have set up for you.  I have planned for you a good life, because I knew you long before you knew anything about yourself and I made a plan for you and I stamped a seal of approval on that plan and I said, it is good.  My way is good and know that even as you walk through the valley you are not alone, I am there with you.  I am the one who brings you out into the place of light, into the place of seeing, into the place of understanding.  Even in those dark places I shine My light so that you are never, never alone.  I Am walking you through to that high place, to that calling, to the promise land.  I have never forgotten one word spoken, not one and I am seeing to it that those things come to pass and even as I bring you to that promise, the things that you are walking through, the places that you are going, they are designed to bring out the best in you.  All these things will work together to make you stronger, to cause you to be in a place of dependency on Me. Trust Me knowing that I Am your provider, I Am your friend and counselor.  I will not forsake you, I will call you up higher, for those who humble themselves, I Am calling you to a high place. 
     "We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose" (Rom. 8:28).
     "You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word." (Ps. 119:114)
     "Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me." (Ps. 23:4)

Good morning,
 
     My children have encountered many giants in their land.  I Am calling to your remembrance that you are "giant – slayers"!  Do not allow that enemy of Ours to think that you are afraid.  Run towards that lying, loud-mouth enemy and silence him with the Rock.  You have been given My Word in order to raise the standards, you are never to lower yourself to the level of your enemy.  Do not let him bring you into his way of fighting, no, you must pull him into Our ring, Our way.  As you make that stand and keep your standard high the enemy will see that he cannot pull you down.  I have made you to be a threshing instrument against him, with My word in your mouth, that has been planted in your heart, there is no weapon formed against you that will prosper.  Do not be moved from your place of safety, for as you well know, the plan of the enemy is to kill, steal, and destroy.  Yet I know, that as you stay in Me that you are hidden and inaccessible to him.  I Am your Victor and your Champion!  There is no defeat in Me, I will teach and train your hands to war.  I say to you My child, fear not, for I have already overcome this tactic of the enemy.  This way of his is not new to Me, though you may be overwhelmed by the strange fiery trial that has come upon you, I Am not.  I have already decreed that you will come through with the victory and with more wisdom and insight than you have ever had before.  This territory is yours and you will place the victory flag right there, and you will not be moved.  The enemy will back off, for I have placed in you everything needed to conquer and avail in this battle too.  There shall none of My Words be prolonged or deferred any more, but the Word that I have spoken shall be done!  For the visions that I have given to you, they are not vain, and, the prophesy that I have spoken they are not flattering lies, I will perform every Word that I declared.  So stand and do not bow to the enemy.  Hold up the hands that are weary, and strengthen the weak knees, cut through and make firm stable paths for your feet.  Follow me to victory and be strong and courageous.  This is an ongoing transformation, but you will win as you stay wrapped up in Me.  This strange and fiery trial shall pass and you will come forth as a giant-slayer prepared for the next level.  I Am not finished with you, you are My masterpiece and I still have My hands on you.
 
     "Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my keen and firm Strength, Who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight— My Steadfast Love and my Fortress, my High Tower and my Deliverer, my Shield and He in Whom I trust and take refuge, Who subdues my people under me." (Ps. 144:1-2)
     "So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun.  When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives]." (Is. 59:19)
     "So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees, And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured." (Heb. 12:12-13)

  Believe
 
Good morning,
  

     You ask for things and you never receive because you really do not believe My Word to you.  I say to you, if you step into the arena of believing, you ask then believe, knowing that I respond to My children.  If you ask me for bread would I give you a stone?  Believe that everything that I do from this moment on is My sign and wonder in your life.  I can be trusted to keep My Word.  Step in over your doubt, over those things that hinder you, over all the cares and those things that are calling for your attention and affection and simply believe.  Step over into believing and you will see the wonders of your God.  Yes, it is the signs that I have laid up for this moment and this season for those who will believe.  I Am calling all believers to come to the forefront for I Am doing supernatural things, abundant things, things beyond your comprehension, I Am doing them.  For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, and obey those things that I have called them to do you will step into an arena of signs and wonders.  That is what I have called you to,  I said signs and wonders follow those who believe, step into the arena of believing.  
     For everything that I have promised to you is a yes, and an amen.  Quit doubting My word, quit second guessing what I Am doing.  I know exactly how to bring you to your promised land and I have not grown senile, neither have I forgotten the way, for I Am a God who is good all the time.  No matter what is going on in your life, understand My plan is always good and My plan will stand.  My plan is the superior one in your life, if you are a believer, that will stand.  So get ready for the good that I have for those who believe and stand says the Lord.  There is nothing, nothing, and no one that can stop the plan that I have for you.  It is good, can you say with me, it is good.  It is good over your life and I neither stumble nor falter about the plan.  I know the way, I Am the way and all you need to do is follow Me and simply obey and you will come into that place that I designed for you before you were ever known.  See I never change, it was developed before you were ever known.  It is a good plan.  Just relax in Me, rest in Me, lean back in My faithful arms.  I Am well able to hold you, keep you, and  you must not allow any enemy, no demon, no divisive spirit keep you from the plan that I have for your life says the Lord.  It is good all the way through.
     "And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!" (Mark 9:23)
      "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began," (2 Tim. 1:9)
     "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome." (Jer. 29:11)

Good morning,
 
     I Am calling you to remembrance, to remember that you are seated with Me in heavenly places and to look again.  Look again into My eyes, into the gaze of your Father's eyes and see where I Am heading and where I Am moving to says the Lord.  You have been looking at your yesterday and I have promised you great tomorrows.  I say to you right now in this moment, do not hinder your own selves from the places and arenas that I Am taking you to.  Levels that I have planned for you even before you were known, there are destinies that I proved for you that I have not pursued.  Let not another breath pass between your lungs that you do not seek My plan for your life.  I have deeper things for you than what you have experienced, there are paths for you that I laid out, simply obey and follow.  My ways are deeper than yours and higher.  Waiting just for those who will once again trust Me and step out into the deep and walk on the water with Me and see the great manifestation of My glory and of My power that I have laid aside for this generation.  For if you do not wake up says the Lord, from the slumber of sin and the things that keep you going your own way and have kept you in bondage, if you do not wake up I will raise up another generation that will be prompt to obey.  A generation that will be on fire for Me, that will hunger and thirst until I come again.  It will be this generation that will be ablaze, an inferno blazing for their love to Me.  They will bring My glory on the scene in an unprecedented move.  Are you, do you want to be a part of this great eternal move that I Am doing in the midst?  It is in your heart to follow Me and you can hear Me daily crying out to you, "come back from the long place that you have fallen into, come back from that distant place that you have moved yourself to".  Come back says the Lord for there are wondrous things that we have yet to do and I need you to be alert, to be active, to be involved with Me, for there are many mighty works that we must do says the Lord.  Come along with Me and I will raise up that next generation as My promise to them, and you too will see great and mighty things, like the miracles, signs, and wonders that I have written in My Word.  Greater works that men have not yet walked in, you will begin to experience them and see and be a part of them, for I Am faithful to My promise to you.
 
     "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father". (John 14:12)
     "And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also.]" (Luke 9:23)

     "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts, For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." (Is. 55:9-11)

Good morning,
 

     I Am drawing you closer, yet you have been irritable and impatient with Me for you think that I Am trying to take your liberty and freedom from you.  I Am giving you a deeper measure of liberty as you depend upon Me.  The more you yield to Me, the more of Me you will see in yourself.  There must be no more callousness and hardness of heart, simply obey.  I Am nurturing mature sons into My glory.  Do not resist My discipline for it will hinder your growth and your blessings.  Preparation for the needed change in order to hear the next level.  We are ready for a new glory level that has never been seen or experienced before.  Everyone that has detained you before you must not heed their voices any longer. You must be as deaf to them as they are to Me.
     In you I have placed a part of Me that will make you go forward.  This is the abundant life, that will eat away at all things that are not Me.  Many of My people and especially My ministers have been out of sync with Me.  It is time to prepare for this new season and the refreshing anointing that will flow to all of My own.  Do not be complacent about souls.  Stir yourselves up to do the work of the ministry.  You will find that your desires will increase towards winning souls the more you worship Me.  Creative ways I will give you to inspire you to be about My business.  You will start to operate in a new dimension and a peculiar grace, so that signs and wonders will accompany you.  Do not allow fear to prevent you from stepping in through the open door that I have for you in this season.  As you obey you will encounter more freedom and liberty than you have ever known.
     "Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions. Do not continue offering or yielding your bodily members [and faculties] to sin as instruments (tools) of wickedness. But offer and yield yourselves to God as though you have been raised from the dead to [perpetual] life, and your bodily members [and faculties] to God, presenting them as implements of righteousness." (Rom. 6:12-13)
     "For you, brethren, were [indeed] called to freedom; only [do not let your] freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse [for selfishness], but through love you should serve one another." (Gal. 5:13)
     "That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]" (2 Tim. 1:6)

Good morning,
 
     I Am debriefing My body, My bride in the chambers of the process of purification.  I will have a bride without spot, wrinkle or blemish.  This process is now being applied by pressure to press out of her life those wrinkles in her that is not pleasing for My bride to be adorned in.  She must willingly submit to the process, I will not make her, but the process will be a profitable experience for those who will yield.  I AM debriefing her thought process, so that she will think like I do.  She has been accommodating herself to the thought process of where she has been temporarily assigned to.  You, My dear do not belong to this world, but you are here only to represent Our Kingdom.  You have allowed yourself to assimilate to the nature of this world's system, which will be destroyed.  I Am bringing My order and My Kingdom rule to operate here, soon.  I remind you that you are Mine, and I Am coming to receive you to Myself again, for all eternity.  Do not entangle yourself with the affairs of this world, everything, except souls, is temporary.  I have the greatest design and plan for you that is out of this world.  You cannot afford to act or think like this world system, for a little leaven will cause the whole lump to be infected and affected.  Meditate in My Word like never before, find yourself bathing in the beauty of Me.  There is coming to this world a sudden calamity that will shake all whose lives are not hidden in me.  I Am calling My own to draw closer than ever before to Me.  I desire My fragrance to fill your whole environment, your sphere, the place that I have strategically placed you in.  Come closer so that you might be raptured by My faithful love.  You are My witnesses to this world and I Am in need of you to help save those who would be saved.  This is Our time to accomplish the task that I have placed My faithful ambassadors, My body, my bride to do.  This is the day, the time in which you must be busy building for Us, not the time for selfish ambitions and selfish goals.  We are One.  Can what you are preoccupied with stand the test of fire?  Is it wood, hay or stubble?  Does it have eternal value stamped upon it?  For a whole year I Am allowing My bride to go through a cleansing and purification process, to wash away all that has tried to stick and cause her to smell of this world system.  To purify out of her the blemishes and the spots from here.  The pressure is applied out of love, My desire and longing is to see you be all that I have purposed you to be.  To straighten out the crooked places and to iron out the wrinkles.  I will have My glorified bride, My church.  She will know and recognize that she is loved by Me.  All that I Am allowing is to bring her to perfection.  Do not be afraid, I will carry you on My wings of love and mercy.  All those who call on My name, yield to My Word and find themselves dwelling in the secret place will be strong and do exceedingly great things for the Kingdom.  They will not faint nor grow weary, but will increase in strength.  A great awakening is on the horizon.  Many will see and know that I am a great God and loving Father, because My bride will so herald the News.  She will not be silent, but will increase in the crying for all to come and appear with them, before Me.  Holy, consecrated, dedicated, loving and faithful is My bride.  We will ride victoriously in the time we have and gather many souls for that great day.  Ride on, My victorious bride!  Keep Me as the apple of your eye and you will not falter, or fail, but will accomplish all that I have ordained for you.  I will not fail you, I Am your champion.
 
     "So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, that He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless]." (Ephes. 5:26-27)
     "Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;  But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired." (Is.40:30-31)
     "For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. (1 Tim. 2:3-4)

Good morning,
 
     As you prophesy over yourself, the dirt of this world begins to be washed away.  That dirt that stained your very soul has been washed away and continues as you apply My Word.  Washing your soul from depression, from panic, from fear, worry, all those things that hinder you from believing.  I have cleared away from your eyes the cataracts that kept you from seeing clearly My vision and My purpose in your life.  I have opened up your ears that were plugged to understanding the very gospel that you read, the very things that you hear Me speak so that you understand where I have called you to and where I Am taking you to, so that you are not caught up in the lies of this world.  The times of the end and those things that sound true but are not true, those things that look good but they are not from Me.  I Am calling you to have a spirit of discernment and I have dressed you with that spirit so that you can separate the false from the truth, from those things that are causing panic and attacking this world so that you can walk with Me clearly on the path that I have planned for you.  Understand, says the Lord as you begin to see things once again from the clarity of My word, as you begin to hear things once again from a clear perspective of knowing your God and the Shepherds voice, you will find yourself in places that you have not imagined.  I have anointed you for this season, so do not be afraid of the things that are coming upon this earth for I have fully equipped you to be able to stand, and stand giving me glory and praise.  At the same time, you will cause many of my sheep that have been lost and gone astray to come back home, and those who are halting between two opinions they will wake up and recognize as your voice sounds like a mighty trumpet that the days they are shortened and they will quicken their steps to come back home to Me says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  I say be not afraid, speak what I speak, be still when I am still and you will know the voice of your Shepherd and a stranger's voice you will not hear, and you will understand and comprehend Me in these days that are ahead.  Revelation and insight will come and it will come like a flood to you says the Lord.  I will cause increased wisdom to come with each revelation.  So stand still and see the great salvation of your Father God, they are mighty in these days says the Lord.  I Am not short concerning my miracles, signs and wonders and the demonstrations of My power, they shall burst forth through you. The clarity in your eyes, things that will see in your dreams and visions, I Am speaking through these things, who I Am and what I Am doing in this time and in this season says the Lord of all grace.
 
     "You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord [Who is] with you, O Judah and Jerusalem.  Fear not nor be dismayed.  Tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you." (2 Chron. 20:17)
     "When he has brought his own sheep outside, he walks on before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will never [on any account] follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not know the voice of strangers or recognize their call." (John 10:4-5)

The Spirit of the Lord says;
    
     I desire a close relationship and partnership with you, one where you lean upon My strength to carry you through.  I have told you that My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  I lighten your load when you choose to cast every care on Me.  Do not allow the cares and worries to shift the weight over on your shoulders, otherwise you would tire out and become exhausted.  I will adjust the weight, so that you may bear it and come out with the victory over them.  I Am well able to carry what you can not.  We must stay in harmony, step by step, you can not be found dragging behind or racing ahead of Me.  Do not be frustrated with life, but rather choose My effectiveness, you will find less struggle, and in so doing you will not be self-sufficient but God dependent.  If you operate under feeling self-sufficient, you then become prideful and will be easily deceived by our enemy.  His desire is for you to be weary of waiting for My help.  He wants you to turn again to your own arm of the flesh, and to be under your own strength.  I Am faithful to you and My Word, I will keep you, as I have in times past and proven Myself trustworthy.  I will not let you down now in your hour of need.  Will you not trust Me now in this new testing and trouble?  For I will cause you to ride upon new heights and will restore to you all that has been lost or seemingly destroyed.   You know Me, I Am the arms that you can lean upon, do not lean on your understanding, it will not hold you.  My care for you at times of testing are greater by far than you will ever know.  You may not understand at this moment what it is that I Am working out for you, but I Am always ahead of you in preparation.  I require you to pull from My grace daily and when it seems darkest, to remember that My Light never goes out.  My Light keeps the dark from overtaking you.  I Am there with you, whispering words of love and healing.  You will experience for yourself My deep intensive care, for that I shower on those who have been in a furnace of affliction.
     Trust Me, even now, cast down the strongholds of anxiety, worry, despair, discouragement, and doubt.  Rehearse My Word over your life, knowing that I will supply your every need.  Stop the lies and question of the enemy, that try to make you not rely on your only Hope.  I want you to be free, not encumbered by so many things that hinder your ears from hearing Me, and entangle your mind with webs of deceit and untruths.  Don't stand aloof and back off from Me, you must come close so that I can minister to you in a greater degree.  I will revive you and restore the joy of your salvation!
 
     "Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.  Then will I teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted and return to You." (Psalm 51:12-13)
     "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.  In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.  Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil." (Prov. 3:5-7)
     "Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you.  Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully." (1 Peter 5:6-7)

Good morning,
 
I have brought you this way.
I have brought you this way.
Even though you say, "I have cried a lot".
Even though you sing, "I have cried a lot".  
I have bought you this way.  It was intentional.
Your tears have brought a harvest of joy.
Your tears, your tears will bring a harvest of joy. 
For those who sow in tears will reap in joy. 
Harvest is coming.  
Harvest is coming and it's filled with joy, so much joy.
The difficult ways, the difficult steps, the difficult way you gained the knowledge that you have.
The difficult way that you have known, it was done to make you more like Me.
I have seen to it says the Lord, I have brought you this way to bring about a greatness in your life, to bring about a greatness in your heart so that you would never be moved or be persuaded to do anything other than follow Me all the days of your life.
I have brought you this way, to make you stable and unyielding to testings.
You have seen many giants in your land and I have seen to it, says the spirit of grace and mercy, that they were brought down by your words, brought down by your worship, brought down by your praise.
I have brought you this way to make you the man, or the woman that you are today.  
I have brought you this way even though you did not understand, I knew the way.
I knew the way and I would not change the path to bring about what you are today.
I have brought you this way so that you might stand in times of difficulty, knowing who I Am, never being persuaded to go another way, never listening to the voice of the enemy who would cause you to sway.
I have brought you this way and this is what I planned for you even before you were formed in your mother's womb.  I knew the days, I knew the steps, I knew the way and I brought you this way to fashion and form you into the one who stands before Me, holy, fully persuaded to follow Me all the days of your life.
I have brought you this way, not easily moved by circumstances, nor situations.
I have brought you this way, even though you did not understand when you cried those tears.  I was taking those tears, and I was using them as seeds to multiply back to you a harvest of joy.
I have brought you this way and I knew that you would become the person you are today easily swayed by My spirit, not easily swayed by the enemy.
I knew exactly what I was doing in you.
I knew exactly what I was bringing you to.
I have brought you this way says the Spirit of God.
 
     You thought I had forgotten about you.  You thought I had left you in the valley but I Am a God who is faithful to the promises that I have made to you and I have called you to war with the promises that I have given to you.  Even when it looked like darkness surrounded you, I was even light in the midst of the darkness calling you and causing you to come up.  Come up higher, another step, come up  higher way with Me.  I know your tears, and I know your heartbreak, but now I have turned those things around for your good so that you can save and help many others who are in that place, in that valley, in that place of indecision where the enemy tries to confuse them.  Now you can direct them out of that valley into the light says the Lord.  I anointed your for this season, I anointed you for this time. I have never, never abandon you, but I anointed you for this time. I held you in My hand that is why you stand today.  It is no mighty powerful thing that you have done except yielding to Me, yielded to My way, yielded even when you did not understand what was going on and you held on to My hand.  I have made you, says the Lord into My image, that you might stand before men to bring them into the Kingdom in the last days.  For you know the way, and you know your Father, and you know My heart and it is because you have endured those difficult, hard, and trying things, that you know that I Am faithful, for I brought out. I will never leave you alone and I will never abandon you, but I Am working miracles, signs and wonders in you so that you can do them and walk in them.  That is who I Am, faithful to you, faithful to the call, faithful to My purpose, faithful to My plan, says the Lord.

(2 Corin. 3:18)

Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

My people are always searching for an “easy word” and an easy way!  Life is hard, you say, and I say, yes, and the enemy of your soul tries to make it tougher than it really is.  I have always tried to strengthen you and make you tougher than anything that might come your way.  Making you well able to endure and outlast whatever you encounter.

Good Morning,
    
     My people are always searching for an "easy word" and an easy way!  Life is hard, you say, and I say, yes, and the enemy of your soul tries to make it tougher than it really is.  I have always tried to strengthen you and make you tougher than anything that might come your way.  Making you well able to endure and outlast whatever you encounter.  Even when you are weak, My strength in you will arise and cause you to be able to go through and come out without the smell of that trouble on you and more wiser than you were before you entered.  My faithfulness to you is great, I will not fail to bring you to completion if you will allow Me.  I need your cooperation to do what is necessary to make you whole.  I have imprinted you upon the palm of My hand, so your name is always before My face, and because My love for you is so deep, I am constantly raising up watchmen to call out your name in prayer.  I do not slumber, so I Am constantly bringing it to pass.  That is why my angels, those that have been assigned to assist and minister to you, will not cease to accomplish their assignment concerning you.  Remember that I have given to you everything to bring you to your divine destiny.  There may be times that this may be held up because of the endeavors of the wicked one, and sometimes things you do, but as long as you will keep your trust in Me, it shall be even as I have spoken it to you.
     I have been removing all that causes you to stumble, so that you can do the work of laboring with Me.  You are the ones that I have ordained to see to it that the devastation of your generation will turn, and be elevated to the city on a hill that I destined you for.  Look past the smoke screen of the wicked one, and all will be made clear to you, you are the Joseph's in your family.   You have been sent ahead in order to save your generation from complete destruction.  It is no small thing that the enemy keeps trying to bring confusion to you and to take you out.  Just as he chased and hounded Joseph to try to make him doubt the call on his life, so the assignment of the enemy remains the same.  Through many trials, test, and tribulations, Joseph prevailed.  His destiny was greater than the testings that he endured, and through it all He became a developed and tested vessel for My glory and My plan to save nations, but especially his own generation of people.  Now you stand in the same place, you are even as Joseph.  You have endured trying and difficult times, accusations from within and without, you have been imprisoned for doing right.  Do not despair, your Helper will bring you out, for your destiny is to save your nation as well.  Many generations are waiting for you to rise up and shine from the dust.  You were brought forth for such a time as this.   I have confidence in you, for you are in My image, I Am a Warrior, and so are you!  The greatest part of you is yet to be seen.  Don't give up!
     "And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations." (Is. 58:12)
     "And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.  But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.  For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them." (Is. 61:5-7)

     "For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them." (Isaiah 61:4-8)
     "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." (2 Corin. 12:9-10)

Love,
