Good morning,

In a vision I keep seeing a steak cooking. The Spirit says; the natural inclination is to cut off the fat before the steak has begun to cook, so many try to do the same spiritually. But as you begin to offer your lives on the altar, I leave the fat on, I leave and "let" the troubles, the trials, and the things that make you tender towards Me. All of those things that you would cut away, those are the things that I allow in your life to make you tender. Those very things that you would cut away are the very things that I use to cause you to draw closer to Me, to cause you to seek Me, to make you stand regardless. So that once you have gone through the difficult times, your faith will arise, and you will let nothing deter your heart from Me any longer. These are some of the things that I use, says the Lord, I use those things to build your God-character, the man and the woman that will be like Me. So, even though you pray, and yes you should pray and come against every temptation, every trial, every test, but know that I am using some of these to cause you to grow up, to cause you to have a tender heart towards Me, to develop great endurance and patience with joy. To develop ears to hear Me and know Me, to be sensitive towards Me. Be discerning and know that even as you stand against the attacks of the enemy, know the things that he means for your harm, I turn and use them for your good and growth. Be wise and understand that at the right time when your heart is very tender, I cut those things away, little by little so that you will be tender towards Me and Me alone and. You will have the season of your Father God throughout your very life. This is My plan and this is My desire for you. Never forget that everything that has come across your life, has been noted by Me, so if you will let Me, I will use it to make you tender, to make you more flavorful, to make your more seasoned like Me. It is My plan and it is My purpose, though the enemy means those things to destroy you, I turn them to your good!

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." (Col. 1:9-12)

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." (Eccles. 3:11)

Good morning,

Do not weary yourself about the plans of the wicked one. Do not fret about what he is doing, and what he is saying. Do not fret about who he is using or who he plans to try to operate through, to attempt to come against you, for their plans will come to nothing in your life. All of those schemes and plans will backfire and the pit they dug for you they will fall in themselves. For I Am a shield of faith around about you, and I will prosper every step that you take. For I Am for you! I go ahead of you, and I Am a shield behind you, so that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. I Am you way, your God, your Father, and the lover of your soul. I have made the way for you to come cross the finish line with great grace and glory. I will crown you for all your effort, and will cause your plans to succeed, because you put me first in your life. I will prosper you far greater than financial prosperity, you will prosper in your mind, your will, and your emotions. You will be one with Me. Even the things that you thought that you could not do, but you did them anyway, out of obedience and love for Me, there is a great reward for you. Everything that you have done for the Kingdom carries a great recompense. I Am always along beside you, for I Am your helper, and I Am your shield and I Am the one who lifts you up when others cast you down. I Am faithful to My Word and to My promises, and I will fulfill them. Yes, even the plans that right now you think are crooked, I Am straightening out the crooked paths. I will make it straight and plain, if you would only give Me your attention, and your time. When you do says the Lord, I will speak to you in the quiet places, and you will know My voice. I will reveal to you some higher thoughts and plans, and calm your spirit and your heart, and cause you to see the way that I have chosen for you. It is a good way. Even though sometimes it seems that it is packed with briers and thickets, and those things that poke at you, and things that tear at your heart, I have shielded you so that nothing but good would come out of you. I Am caring for you, says the Lord, and I Am faithful, and I will bring you to that good end. I will never, never leave you as long as you stay faithful to Me, I will stay faithful to you, for this is our covenant agreement and I will hold you all the way to the end. I will shield you and protect you from every dart of the wicked one and even those that you think slipped through and touched you, it is not anything that the enemy planned, he can not succeed concerning you in My arms. All that has been allowed, I have allowed for I Am perfecting you, and turning you into a sharp threshing instrument that the enemy can never stand up against. So, never be weary, says the Lord, for I Am always by your side, and I will do exactly as I have spoken to you in times past, for I Am your past, your present, and your future, and I will perform My Word, My faithful one!

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound]." (Is. 40:28-29)

"A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich [at any cost] shall not go unpunished." (Pro. 28:20)

"Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. (Heb. 10:35)

Good morning,

From the beginning, from the first moment that you met Me and began to know Me, you made a quality decision that you would forever love and follow after Me. That is why periodically throughout your life, no matter what challenges you have faced, or trials that came into your life, there were moments that you refreshed your love to Me. And because your heart has run after My heart, I have kept you, I have preserved you, and today you stand delivered, free in your mind and heart because, of My faithfulness to you, and because of the longings of your heart towards Me. I will bring you all the way to the finish line, to the goal because of your heart towards Me. It keeps you separated from the chaff, it is what separates you, My sheep from the goats. It is a pure heart, your heart that separates you from those who fall away, from those who are consumed day by day, from those the enemy lies and deceived with every small fox that comes along. It is nothing except your heart towards Me that yearns to obey My Word and keeps you stirred up to witness and talk of My love to all who will hear. Daily hunger and thirst for more of Me, keeps our relationship strong and makes you unique. I Am making Myself known to you in a clear way! I will strengthen you and cause you to go to the next place, to the next level, to the next place of hunger and thirst for Me, where you are always kept by the power of My love. Rejoice, your peace will increase as well, and you will hear My voice clearer and stronger than you have in the past. I have been training you, to hear in the midst of any circumstance. For in keeping your mind stayed on Me, there is no weapon that can keep you separated from Me. So rejoice in the fact that I have kept you and I will continue to keep you as you stay in My arms, and seek My face. I Am now encompassing and surrounding you, and giving you My favor, and My grace to keep you in the days that are ahead. So give Me glory in the night season, give Me glory when the sun shines, give Me glory when things go well, give Me glory when things do not look good, you will be amazed at your own growth and your faith. For your faith works by this great love! I Am pleased with your faithfulness to Me.

"Catch for us the foxes,the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom." (Songs of Sol. 2:15)

"You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You." (Is.26:3)

"For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love." (Gal. 5:6)

Good morning,

A wall has been torn down in the spirit, so step into the awesomeness of your God. Feel the tiny drops of the deep oil of anointing flowing down upon your crown, and all around your body. I Am covering you with divine protection so that you may walk through anything, and everything, and come out unharmed and unscathed by the things of this world. You will hear Me even in those most difficult times because of the covering that I have poured upon you, so bask in it! My glory, My anointing, My very presence goes before you and surrounds you so that you may always have access, and apply everything that I have given you. For I have given you everything that pertains to your life, your livelihood and the living of the days that you have ahead. I have given you everything, understand Me, everything! All you need to learn how to do is to walk in it, to receive it, to take it as your own and to live a life exemplary of My grace and My anointing that rests upon you. Then you will see the manifest presence of your God, every day of your life, for My glory will go before you as a shield and cover you as a rear guard. There will not be an enemy that shall be able to touch or hinder you, you will be strong and do exploits in My name, for this is the day of your God, this is the day that I will be glorified in the midst of My people and My glory shall be given to you and you shall walk it out and live it out in every area of your life. Not just here in the midst of the anointing or the people of God but out there in the world where it is most needed. My glory shall shine, My glory shall come forth, My glory shall cause wisdom and insight and witty inventions and creative ideas to come at that needed moment. My glory shall begin to expound, exclaim, and proclaim and go forth in My people’s lives. My glory shall be seen upon you like never before. Because you have been on the Potter's wheel and have yielded to My design and plan for you. It has not always been easy for you to do, but you have wanted to be pleasing to Me. You accepted the pruning that was necessary to bring forth better fruit. Now you will be lifted high because you have stayed humble to Me. So this is the season and the time to rejoice and give Me glory, for more of My glory is being poured out upon you even now!

"Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit." (John 15:2)

"Then I went down to the potter’s house, and behold, he was working at the wheel. And the vessel that he was making from clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he made it over, reworking it into another vessel as it seemed good to the potter to make it." (Jer. 18:3-4)

"You have loved righteousness [You have delighted in integrity, virtue, and uprightness in purpose, thought, and action] and You have hated lawlessness (injustice and iniquity). Therefore God, [even] Your God (Godhead), has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy and gladness above and beyond Your companions." (Heb. 1:9)

Good morning,

I Am not slack concerning My promises to you. I Am watching over My Word to perform it on your behalf. Remember that as I was with My servants in the past, so I Am with you. But also think on this, many things stand in the path between the promise and the manifestation of the promise. When I speak, My Word goes out to bring forth that spoken Word, but the journey has just begun towards the fulfillment of that promise. The promise is destiny and filled with adventures of your ever growing faith and trust in Me. There are many destiny thieves, there are traps, snares, pitfalls, and great battles along the way! Your challenge is to stay faithful and believe the promise to the end. You can choose to let go, or hold on, it is your choice. But listen, and take heed to this, I never change My mind, or My promises! I Am fixed, and so is My Word. Believe Me and believe My Word, we are one, and the same. Many lived and saw some of My promises fulfilled in their lifetime. For they trusted in Me and My Word. Also there were many that died believing in the promise on this side of life, yet I say to you that they are enjoying the promise to the full. They are truly living in their destiny now. See I Am an everlasting, ever-living God, and Father. So by now, you must know that I have placed in you an everlasting and an ever-living promise. They shall come to pass. Believe Me and believe My Word. I Am everlasting, ever-living, and so are My promises to you. I have placed them in you. remember always that the circumstances, and all that is happening now in this current time on this earth is temporary. I Am the same, I change not! I never shift or move from My Word spoken to you. Believe My Word and know that My promises are sure to you My eternal ones!

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (1 John 5:7)

"For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." (Mal.3:6)

Good morning,

The Spirit of the Lord speaks to us to find the stable path, and stay on the stable road. Find those who are stable in Me and link yourself with them, for there is coming upon the earth a strong and mighty force, a tempestuous wind, and it is not a force sent by Me. And since it is not a force sent by Me, it will not stand or consume you, but you must stand through it. So stay connected to those who are strong in My Word, find those who have been immovable in Me and you link yourself up with them, for you will find safety in the multitude of wise counsel in these times, and follow and pursue My peace. So the wind is sent to blow you off course to cause you to become shaken in Me, but I say, do not lose courage, be bold and strong and confident in Me, and look up for your redemption draweth nigh. If you would keep your heart stayed upon Me, you would see that everything is in My hand. I have not changed My thoughts towards you, they never change, My plans for you, they never alter. I Am waiting on you to line up with Me and see Me as your preserver, and all I ask for is willingness, a willing heart that wills to do it My way, one that wills to obey Me when I speak, that will just do it. For I will never, and have never forced Myself upon you, and I will not do that, that is the place of the wicked one, that is what he does. But I asked you to take My word and make it your sure reward, make it what you stand upon no matter what comes or goes. For if you do that, My Word will be a strong shield around about you, and nothing shall be able to come in or touch you. Even as it devastates those around you, those who have not trusted in Me and My Word, I will protect you and keep you safe says the Lord. And you will not have to figure it out, for I already knew ahead of time, I know what it will take to keep you protected and safe. I Am trustworthy, look and see My nature in My Word, I have shown and proven myself, over, and over, and over again that I Am the One you can trust and depend upon. See again that I Am your Father, I Am Daddy, and Abba, and I only desire the good for you if you would just "will" to obey me.

"Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another." (Rom. 14:19)

"Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." (Ps. 34:14)

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." (Jos. 1:9)

"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." (1 Corin. 16:13)

Good morning,

In this secret place, in the place where My Spirit woos, calls, and beckons you, a place where I speak encouragement and strength, where your waining strength is made strong, fresh and renewed, where visions are restored, where your dreams are given fresh new fire, here in the secret place where when you feel weak you are supernaturally strengthened, this place where your youth is renewed, this place where your energy is restored, this is the place that I have called you to, so that you might cause it to become a canopy over your life. Wherever you walk, and wherever you journey, wherever your steps may lead you to, wherever I have ordained your steps to go forth you practice resting underneath this canopy. You must learn to always draw strength, insight, wisdom, joy, and peace from the canopy of My grace, My grace which is sufficient, My grace which is your enduring strength. This place is where I have called you to abide in the midst of chaos and confusion, in the midst of storms and raging wars, in the midst of all unknowing, I have provided a place of safety and rest. Here is where I speak to you of things that you can do, that you think you cannot do. This is the place where I speak to you of the supernatural abilities that I have placed on the inside of you, things that you have yet tapped in to see. This is the place that I, your God have called you to, where you and I can be made one. Where you can walk from here, fully understanding that you are like Me, that you are not like the world nor the things of this world. I have called you apart and separated you for Myself. I have called you peculiar, I have called you a royal priesthood, I have called you My very own. This is the place, so draw your strength, draw your dreams, draw your visions, draw your energy, draw your zeal, draw your joy, and draw your peace from this place. For here, you know that you can do all things that I have called you to do, and that nothing is impossible for you. Here I have called you to walk in the love that I have placed in your heart, here you can do those supernatural activities that you can see in the realm of the supernatural, in the realm of the Spirit that are unknown to natural man. This is where I have called you to come close and know Me, come close and know Me, that I am an all loving and enduring God, a God who will never fail you and never give up on you. I Am your father, your lover, your God,and your peace. I Am everything that you need, and all that you do not understand that you need. I Am everything, I Am all in all for you. Come and draw near to Me.

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" (1 Peter 2:9).

"Draw me! We will run after you! The king brings me into his apartments! We will be glad and rejoice in you! We will recall [when we were favored with] your love, more fragrant than wine. The upright [are not offended at your choice, but sincerely] love you." (Song of Sol. 1:4)

"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:" (2 Corin. 9:8)

Good morning,

My hope is that you find Me and discover once again the fiery love that I have for you. Encounters upon encounters await you, if only you would leave the shadows of failure, doubt and disappointments behind. I Am to you, and for you the tree of life, all of your heart's desire, the genuine hearts’ desires could be met in Me. If you would seek Me with your whole heart, as you do, and have done for the many treasures and desires you have pursued. No doubt, the other treasures have left you empty, and pursuing for more, and as I beckon you to come closer, then another lover catches the gaze of your eyes. Once again you divert your full attention from Me. I Am the only true and genuine lover that will satisfy your desires, the longings, the ache, and the desert places in your heart. Oh My beloved, if you would trust Me, I will deliver wholeness. You say, “what more can I do Lord, I feel like I have turned my life over to you?" And I say to you, "the reason you still feel barren and sometimes unfulfilled,this barrenness is revealed, and the emptiness is revealed so that you would seek more of Me to fill those places." Oh, I have so much to cover, so much to heal, so much to waken and excite you. The depths of Me, and My love, they are unsearchable. The wicked one comes at the moment you feel the barrenness and fills your mind with lies and says that I Am not concerned with these places. But you know that he is a liar, he leads you astray and leads you to more empty and barren places. I have told you over and over again that even in the desert places I will make for you refreshing pools, and living waters. These waters will refresh your soul and quicken areas in your life that will cause you to take the right steps and bring you to My destined moment of wholeness. In these moments of confusion and emptiness, is the time for you to be still. Herein is wisdom, where there is chaos and confusion, wars and unrest in your soul, and in your life, come away and find My peace and be quiet. Be determined to do so and you will find Me, because this is where My lovers tend to make decisions from a place of confusion and emptiness that brings more desolation and more destruction. Be still My love and wait on Me, I will bring you to fresh, clear understanding. My hope is that you recognize My love and return to Me. I will not hurt or harm you, I have whole and peaceful love and with that love, I lead with peace and joy. Wait and hear My voice, wait and you will hear from your lover, this is the way follow Me. Walk in it and you will find your desires being fulfilled, wait on Me and my way will lead you by the still and peaceful waters where rivers will overflow your steps with My love and peace for you, not being worried by so many things which causes your soul to be tossed about with a great wind. For My way is a gently breeze by My spirit on to the course that I’ve planned for you. My hope is that you will find Me and become My trees planted by those rivers. No matter what season you’re in, you will be found resting and leaning upon My everlasting arms not in your own strength if you hope in me. My undying love for your desires is only to do you good. My hope is that you find and discover My great, kind and all-knowing love.

"Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it." (Ps. 37:34)
"The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." (Zep. 3:17)

"When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water." (Is. 41:17-18)

Good morning,

This is a spontaneous, prophetic song that was sung during one of our worship services. As always we pray that this encouraging word will lift you and stir your heart to live wholly for our Father! The Bible says: "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;" (Ephes. 5:19)

Do not let your head hang down

Do not let your hands hang low

Lift up your eyes

Lift up your hands

For your redeemer, He is coming

Do not let your head hang down

Do not let your hands hang low

Lift up your eyes I say

Lift up your hands I say

Your redeemer is alive

Your redeemer will arise

And I Am coming, yes I Am

Just like I said I would, yes I Am

I Am looking for those, that is what I Am doing

Those who have separated themselves, I will anoint you

Signs and wonders shall flow

You will be supernatural, yes you will

And everything you say and do will be supernatural too

You will be separated even more by the choices you make for Me, yes you will

And I will know you, and I will see you

And greater revelation than you have ever known before, and you will walk it out this time

You will walk it out this time with signs and wonders following you

This is our greatest time, the time of the bride

The time of the bride has come and you will show your glory, the glory I have given you and many will stand and be amazed at the things that we can do.

This is our time, our time to shine.

So let your glory come forth, let My glory rise up and you will see says the Lord.

Greater is He, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Yes, you understand, greater is He than he that is in the world.

Yes, I Am greater, more greater than you have began to see, but you will see.

"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." (Mark 16:20)

"And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?" (Rom.9:23-24)

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)

Good morning,

Begin to see what I see, says the Lord. Can't you believe that I will use you in a supernatural way to cause the increase of My kingdom in these last days? Can't you believe that My power is resident on the inside of you? Believe that there is nothing too difficult for you and I together as we walk through this earth, and that there is nothing, not a thing that is too hard for Me to do in your life. Can you believe once again that I will do exactly what I said I would do, and that I Am not like man and that every word that I have spoken to you is a yes and amen? Can you believe that I would actually use you to bring My kingdom to pass? Can you believe says the Lord, that I will work a supernatural thing on the inside of you, where you can not even recognize yourself any longer? Stop reasoning, and doubting Me, and believing the lies of the enemy that you are not worth it, for I have made you worth it, I have made you worthy says the Lord. I have made you able to carry My glory to a dying world, to be My vessels that touch this world, and would spark a fire in the midst of darkness and cause light to come forth and shine brightly. I have called you and anointed you for such a time as this. Can you believe that, says the Lord? For if you can, then there is nothing to difficult or too hard for the times or the seasons that you are in. In fact, this is the time of My glory, this is the time of My power, this is the time of the supernatural. If only you would believe and trust Me, and lay every burden at My feet, lay every care at My feet and watch and see Me, your God do supernatural miracles in your midst and use you. I delight to do this for you, My child.

Yes, where I have planted you to bring in this last end time harvest, so that men will know that there is one God and that I Am God in the midst of you, and that I will do mighty exploits in the days ahead. Can you believe that and will you believe Me, says the Lord? For if you do, walk and put your hand in My hand, and rest in Me and see, says the Lord. Quit working under your own might, and in your own strength and trust Me, trust Me, just trust Me to do exactly what I said I would do. For I will do it says God, I Am not a liar, I Am God who is truth, I speak truth, I declare truth and I Am truth. Believe Me says the Lord. For I am about to do that work on the inside of you that you have been longing for. It is high time, it is My time, it is your time and it is Our time, says the Lord.

"But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you." (1 Peter 5:10)

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:" (1 Peter 2:9)

"For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren" (Rom. 8:29).
