Good morning,

     Sharing another prophecy given to our Church.  We must learn to keep God's word in our arsenal to war against the lies of the enemy.  I know that even the hard times will eventually be weaved into the intricate details that God uses to make us more like Him!
     This is where unique individuals are created, made, formed and fashioned, says the Lord.  It is through the times of difficulties and hard seasons, when one learns to yield to My ability on the inside of them.  Choices are made there to either yield to the workings that I Am doing deep on the inside of them, or they lean upon the arm of the flesh.  It is not the outward man that I Am concerned about, it is the things deep on the inside and I have begun to uproot those things that are not like Me, and I safely plant in you more of Me.  Then, by you realizing Who I Am in you, this begins to break through the hardness of the soil of the heart and then you bring forth fruit that shall abound and remain and continue says the lord.  And this is what I have been after in you all along, a place of brokenness, so that I might plant more of Me, so that more of Me might be seen in you.  And this is the season and the time, says the Lord, when it looks like all hope is lost, that is when your hope shall shine  the brightest and come forth with grand and glorious compensation for all that you put your hands to.  I will reward you says the Lord.  I Am faithful to every seed that you have sown in the kingdom.  I am watching over it to bring it to pass in your life, not just in finances but in every area that is needful to you, to cause you to be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath, blessed only and not cursed, says the Lord.  So this is my plan for you, My well-being for you, I want you to go ahead and go forth so I Am bringing you to the place of desperation where you look only to Me and then I will be your re-reward.  I will see to it, says the Lord, that every promise that I have spoken to you will come to pass, if your eyes stay upon Me.  I will not let you down nor fail you, but I will produce and affect everything that I have promised you, Hallelujah!
     "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (1 Cor. 10:13)
     “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5) 
      "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward." (Is.58:8)

Good morning,
    I have been in a time of reflection with our Father.  Sometimes ,God desires for us to come away with Him.  It doesn't mean completely stopping but in my case, slowing it down.  I have been listening to the cry of many Christians, and they are experiencing a feeling of weariness.  I have experienced that before while serving the Lord for 37 years, but God is faithful and always rescues me from myself.  He is a "keeping" God.  What do you do when you find yourself feeling weary?  This is the "word" that the Father spoke to me.
     I hear every cry that comes from your heart and I never despise the broken hearted.  My heart is to heal, save and deliver.  I know that circumstances may overwhelm you at times, then My arms are open wide to take you in My shelter.  It is to help you understand that this too shall pass and I will use this too in making you stronger and more steadfast to Me.  You will come to the place in your growing that nothing, no matter how it comes, will move you or cause you to slide back.  Instead of giving up, your faith in Me and My word will rise up in you and you will be amazed at the person that I have fashioned you to be.  Your eyes will be fixed upon Me and you will come to know Me as your unchangeable Father.  You will know Me as your Father who has great confidence in you, and I know that you will not fail, for I have fully equipped you for overcoming all things.  I have fully supplied you and I will never fail you or leave you alone to walk through.  I have ordered your steps and you will not slide.  Be encouraged, for I will lift you up higher and will cause you to abound with blessings.  Always remember, I never forget your labor of love in serving Me and My timing is uniquely different than yours.  Every word that I have spoken to you will come to pass, in due time.  I Am always working to bring to pass My promises to you, and at the same time I Am straightening out anything crooked in your life, which includes your thoughts, actions and deeds, responses, and every weakness that have kept you bound.  I Am doing much more than just answering your prayers, I Am more concerned with making your character become more like Me.  This is a continuing work in progress.  So again I say, do not grow weary in doing good, you will reap a harvest, so keep your seed whole and right, so that your harvest will be the one you expect!  Don't grow bitter or resentful of Me and My timing.  Remember, I do all things right and well!
     Learning to wait on God helps to train us in not giving in to staying weary.  This is of course a process, which means we get better the more we wait.  Each time we wait, we learn a; little bit more on not growing weary.  It is not a fast, pat answer, but we  do grow from "glory to glory" which are steps in growth.  Every year I get better in getting over being weary quicker!  Not an expert, just maturing.  All of us are getting better every day, as long as we stay in His word.  As long as; "The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide." (Ps. 37:31)
     "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Is. 40:31)    
     "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I." (Ps. 61:2) 
     "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." (James 4:10)

Good morning,
     This is a moment taken from one of our worship services.  There was a recorded sound, of "whooshing" of wings as angels gathered there.  We, God's children are in great anticipation of what our Father will do!  Join us!
      Portals are opening, and angels, angels, are being dispersed everywhere.  These mighty angels have come, and you can sometimes feel their presence, where you have no other choice but to look up.  These angels have been sent on assignment for those who have a humble heart.  And even as you worship these angels stand in worship and wait. In fact, they have been sent to await commission and charges from true worshipers.  I saw these massive angels, there were so many that they had to go beyond the roof here and what they were doing was going forth and bringing, I could see doors, chambers in heaven, and they were going and bringing to some new bones, new spines and to some new joints, new tendons, new muscles and to some new organs, to all that are humble.  And this is what the Lord is saying, "go take it to the humble".  And I could see Him restoring all that was broken, diseased and weakened.  These angels are bringing restoration to brokenness and they were busy working, busy bringing answers, causing you to hear the answers that up until this moment, you have not been able to hear.  And I could see the angels they were very busy.  It is like a funnel from a tornado sweeping us up to see into this heavenly realm.  This is His glory in operation, to cause us to see the angels wings begin to move and stirring up the atmosphere.  And doors were opening and I could hear the Lord saying, "these are the doors that I want to stay open in your life".  And they will if you remain humble.  But these can close the doors, pride, anger, bitterness, and jealousy, yes,when all of these rise up and shut the opened doors.  But as long as you stay humble these angels are on assignment to bring to you all that make you whole and complete.  And they are constantly doing it.  Even now they haven’t stopped.  Open your eyes and see them uncovering treasures, this is where says the Lord I have hidden riches in secret places, uncovering treasures and bringing them to you.  Lungs are being healed, esophagus' are being repaired, organs that are rarely thought about, tendons in the ear, muscles in the ear, kidneys, stomachs, bladders, and gall bladders, worn out tendons and muscles, all being touched to restore.  Weaknesses of all kinds, weaknesses to this world that your system has not been able to adjust to.  Open doors, so that you can receive all that you need.  Answers, answers that you have waited for.  Believe and receive!
     "He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it." (Gen. 28:12)
"Praise the Lord, you his angels,you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word". (Ps. 103:20)
     "And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire." (Heb.1:7)

Good morning,
     There will be numerous suddenlies for My children this year.  For those who spend time worshiping Me and entering into the place that I Am calling My children to, a place of intimacy.  As they continue and learn to walk around in that place or the sphere of My presence, they will begin to ascend higher.  This will begin to cement in their hearts a deeper awareness of the Kingdom.  Suddenly those who press in to know Me better will know things that will not be accessible to those who will not press.  Those who press have stepped into a deeper and greater pruning as well, this is necessary, to get the depth of My character operating in and through you.  Humility is the key to walking in a clearer and higher understanding of My ways.  Though the crushing and pressing in their lives have been hard to bear, they will have greater insight and depth of knowing Me.  They will experience a greater anointing , this anointing will begin to destroy every yoke that has kept them from moving ahead.  The pressing that you have undergone will refine and define you for greater advancements.  From this place of the oil being pressed from you, you will shine brighter, stronger, and extend your reach for more.  From this place of dwelling in Me, you will take back territories that have been violently snatched from your hands.  You will keep the doors of your heart and mind, like you have never done before.  You will stop him at every onset and not allow him to come in.  Now your senses will be Most alive to the unction of Holy Spirit, and you will move as One with Us.  This is the place that I have longed for you to come to.  It is a "surrender" to Me, by letting go of your preconceived notions and ideas of how I work, and allowing Me to truly work in power.  In so doing, the journey to your desires will be shortened, and suddenlies will shower down on you.  Old Boundaries and borders are being torn away and uprooted, while new ones are being set.  All of the steps that I have ordered for you, you will find yourself walking in them.  The old ones will come down during the pressing and you will see how they had entangled you.  Just rest and release all things into My hands, all things are in the "set" time, as you lay it down at the altar in My presence!
     "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" (Pro. 3:5)
     "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yetno one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." (Eccle. 3:11)
     "Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.  See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” (Jer. 1:10)

Good morning,
     Today I would like to come from a place in my heart, the scripture says that, "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life." (Pro. 13:12) Here is a verse that I struggle with when I read it and I have tried to make it more than what it means, but even in our language of today, I believe we get this.  All of us have experienced this at one time or another in our lives, you have prayed for something in your life and believed with all of your heart for it to happen and it doesn't come.  It may have been for healing in your body, salvation for a loved one, financial prosperity, deliverance for you or a loved one, I could go on, but I know you understand.  Let us see if the Old Testament of the Bible means what we think it means.  Hope in the Strong's Concordance means; expectation.  Let's see what it means in the Webster's Dictionary; "to want something to happen or be true and think that it could happen or be true, to desire with expectation of obtainment.  I think I could easily say that all of us have an anticipation in our hearts that when we pray or ask our Father for something that we expect to obtain it.  That is easy to understand.  All of us hope.  Then what does deferred mean?  Deferred means to be drawn out, to be postponed, to be prolonged, to drag or continue on; that is the Strong's definition.  Let us look into our Webster's dictionary.  Deferred means withheld for or until a stated time, to put off, to delay, to postpone until a later time.  Maketh or make is still the same too in both definition, it means to cause to happen to or be experienced by someone;to bring into being by forming, shaping, or altering, to lay out or construct.  So in any language to have our hope, [our expectation, our wanting something to happen and be true], even our believing for it, when it is deferred, [or, put off, prolonged, dragged on, or withheld until further notice] can make [cause, form, shape, lay out or construct] our hearts to be sick.  That brings me to the word sick, I skipped heart because we all know what that means, but I will throw it in here, so that we have the complete picture; heart means our inner being, our will, emotions or our feelings, our thought, our passions, and our mind.  This part of us becomes sick.  Sick means to be or become weak, be or become sick, be or become diseased, be or become grieved, be or become sorry.  As Christians, even the most powerful one has experienced this in their walk with God, so don't feel that you are not worth the blood that was shed for you.  The wisest man that ever lived was instructed by our Father, God to place this right in our Bible.  It can and does happen, even if some never tell you about their times.  But, I have lived long enough to know if I keep my eyes on the thing that I was expecting to happen, that has been deferred, for whatever reason, I will get weaker and weaker.  So we all must learn to shift our hope and focus on something other than the desired thing, when we become weak, grieved, or tired.  David knew what to do and it is placed in scripture for us by them.  I will close with these two verses.
     "For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God."  "And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee" 
     "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."  "For thou art my hope, O Lord God thou art my trust from my youth."  "Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word". (Ps. 38:15; 39:7; 42:5; 71:5: 119:81) Let us follow his example, let us put our expectation, our hope in God and in His Word, shift our focus from the desired thing or what we want to obtain and place our hope on the greatest desire, our Father, then we will have the Tree of life!
 
Love,

Good morning,
     Our Father says that "his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue." (2 Peter 1:3) We are more than we appear to be, and we must stretch our spiritual muscles and grow up to be all that the Father desires us to be. "Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18) 
     Here is a prophetic word that was given to us this past Sunday. Selah!
     I have given you the keys to the Kingdom, that you might walk free all the time.  Yes, I have given to you the keys of the Kingdom, so that little by little, more and more as you increase, as you grow, you become mature and wiser and understand the usage of these keys.   Opening up doors you have never known before, opening up doors you have never seen before. The keys you possess will open up revelation. Opening up your eyes to see things, opening your ears to hear things you have never seen before,  and it will set you free, yes it will.  It will set you free, yes free from the  lure and trappings of this world. The revelation that awaits you will deliver you from the things of this world and every generational weakness that you have dealt with, and you will walk free,  yes you will.  It will be the most freedom that you have ever experienced, freer than you ever thought you would be.  You will walk free says the Lord.  The more that you mature, grow in Me, the more you will be able to use the keys. Mature in Me, do not stay infantile in your attitudes and emotions, repeating the same cycle. Use the keys of wisdom that you have, do My Word and as you do more will be given to you. You will benefit your whole self, spirit, soul, and body. Yes breaking free to walk in the depth that I have given you access to, but you determine how fast you grow and you determine what you can see and hear in the realms of our Kingdom. The door that the key you have in your hand has already opened to you fresh and new attitudes and deeper things, walk them all the way through, grow and mature, and keys will be added for deeper insight into all that I have kept for you, not from you. The keys are for you to walk free now in this world. Take the keys in My Word and mature, learn of Me, and you will walk in godliness, righteousness, love, faith, meekness, patience, yes, you will reflect My glory to this world!
  "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 16:19).
 "But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness." (1 Tim. 6:11)
  "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby" (1 Peter 2:2):

Good morning,
     God delights in us! He desires to show us what a Father looks like and how He responds to His children.  Here is the heart of our Daddy.  Every day I Am calling you, I Am calling you to come closer, every day I Am calling you to dig just a little deeper.  See, I have kept for you treasures unknown, things yet unseen by man's eyes, all I ask is that you begin to covet the secret place, covet this presence and I will begin to give unto you hidden wisdom, those secret things, those riches that I have laid aside just for you.  That is what I have done, that is what a good Father does, he always has an inheritance laid up for his children and I Am more than you have ever begin to understand.  In My words there are treasures, but I have laid up for you even in this world, treasures unknown by man, secret things.  And all I ask is that you begin to desire Me more than your necessary food and in that you will find complete fulfillment, you will not thirst, you will not hunger, not for the elements of this world, nor for the things beyond today.  You will know that I Am all that you ever need and “I Am” have provided everything that you could even think of and far more than you ever thought of.  I am faithful to you, a faithful Father.  Think on that, I Am your daddy and I have kept aside for you treasures untold, seek the secret place.  Seek to find me there, you will discover,wisdom, knowledge and insight beyond your ability but not beyond Mine.  I Am waiting for you to step in and walk them out in this world so that this world may know a God that is faithful and trustworthy and dependable no matter what.  I Am your Daddy and I want you to seek Me
     Here is a prophetic song that was sung to us by the Spirit!
     Always My children, always My own, you’re always My children, you’re always My own.  I will never leave you, I will never leave you, you’re always My children, you’re always My own.  Even when you close your eyes at night and you think you went to sleep on your own, it is because I Am always singing over you a song of love and peace.  Every day you wake up I sing a song to salute your life.   I will always love you, I will always love you, for you will always be My very own children. I will never leave you, never leave you alone, I will never forsake you or turn my back on you.  You must always know and understand you are never alone, never, never alone no matter what you hear or feel.  I will always love you, always be there for you, for I am your Father.  I am your Abba, I am your Father, I am your God, I will never leave you.
     "For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!" (Rom. 8:15)
     "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." (Gal. 4:6)
     "Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;" (Pro. 8:30)

Good morning,
 
    There is a lot of teaching about the grace of God going on, some is a little twisted, just enough to lead some astray.  God has always helped me to understand that His grace is sufficient or enough to meet the need of any situation that I may face in my walk with Him.  One of the most powerful definitions of His grace is found in the Strong's Concordance of the "Greek" word, "grace", it says; the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps them, strengthens them, and increases them in faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues.  That is the power and ability of God upon our inability enabling us to do the Word of God.  It reminds me of the verse that says; "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." (Phil. 4:13) Thank God, that we have His grace on our lives, or we would be slaves to sin.  Here is a prophetic word that was given to us in one of our services.
     My grace is sufficient and what I Am saying to you is that I have given you all power, all authority and it lies within My grace.  It is sufficient for everything that comes in your life.  It is sufficient for the good times to carry you through so that you never forget your God.  It is sufficient for the difficult and the tough times to hold you high so that you do not succumb to the trials and the tests of this world, but always rise above.  It is sufficient to keep you no matter what you are going through, it is sufficient to keep your heart soft and tender and easy to be directed by My Spirit.  It is sufficient enough to keep your mind stayed upon Me.  The grace that I have given you is sufficient, it is My power and ability that I give to My people, My children so that you can walk and live and demonstrate this life as Kingdom children, as the holy children of the most high God and everything that you do and everything that you say is in demonstration of the power of your Father.  For you are my representatives, you are the one who represents My Kingdom, and so I have anointed you with enough grace to carry you through no matter what you face.  The grace of God, the grace of your father, My grace is sufficient for your life.
     "By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." (Rom. 5:2)
     "But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." (1 Corin. 15:10)
     "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,
     During a time of worship, these words were given.  Our prayer is that it
ministers and encourages you to step into a deeper walk with the
Father.
     Chains were broken, chains began to fall off, even now, right now because of your worship, your heartfelt, sincere worship.  Those who worship Me from their heart, chains are beginning to break and fall off.  Doors that were closed are now opening wide and if you would only have eyes to see and ears.  Far
too many times your busyness and going about your own cares and your
own business of living have kept you steps away from your answer.  I Am
calling
you aside to open your ears and eyes to your Beloved to see what I want
to reveal to you.  In this season and in this time, for
those who would pull away, pull aside to listen, and to open their ears
to hear and be attentive to My voice and to be attentive to My word, you
will see doors opening for you, with words of wisdom that will give you
needed instructions that will put you over.  For in order
for you to walk through them you have to see them with your spirit eyes,
and as you do says the Lord, nothing will hold you back.  There will be
others, yes there are others who refuse to listen, who
keep their ears closed to My voice and closed to My word and those same
doors will stay closed to them.  But at the same time you
will walk through and you will walk through freely, you will walk
through boldly and you will take what rightfully belongs to you.  This is
the season of restoration to my people, it is not based on what you see
or feel or even what you hear, it is based on the Spirit of the living
God, and My living promise to you.  And I am decreeing and
declaring to you that this is your harvest time, this is your season of
rejoicing as you bring in the sheaves because you have sowed and it is
time to reap.  And some of you are reaping in fields that
you did not plant, and that you did not sow because others have
abandoned those fields, because doubt and unbelief entered into their
hearts and I have turned them over to the faithful ones.  So
get ready, says the Lord, with arms open wide for I Am about to bestow
upon you, it is the token of My affection and My greatness that I give
to My children who are faithfully following Me.  Get ready, says the Lord, this is your harvest time.
  
     "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." (Ps. 126:6)
     "Thus the saying "One sows and another reaps" is true.  I
sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the
hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.” (John
4:37-38)
     "I know your deeds. See, I have placed before
you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name." (Rev. 3:8)

Good morning,
     This prophecy was given to our church, a couple of weeks ago.  We are reminded to keep our eyes stayed on the Father.
     It is like Job and his wife, I blessed Job in spite of the things that she said and did, in spite of her doubt and unbelief.  I blessed him because he stood and so I will bless you in spite of those who are with you. Those who are connected with you who have been a hindrance, who have been pulling you down and used by the enemy to try to keep you from attaining all that I have for you.  I will bless you in spite of, says the Lord.  Because I am faithful to the sower, I am faithful to him that puts his seed in the ground, his seed of My Word in his heart, his seed of his finances into My kingdom, his seed of joy, his seed of peace, his seed shall return to him multiplied many fold, says the Lord.  So you get ready, you stay ready. Do not give that much power to another man, do not  allow another man to hold your blessing from you, because you are hesitant  to do what I have called you to do.  You do it,  because you love and obey Me. You do it right their in the midst, because I Am for you, says the Lord.  I will honor you says the Lord.  I will see to it that you will grow stronger and you will go forth in power, and ability shall be yours like never before.  Do not let another person hold back your blessing because you may have been looking to man and not unto Me, for I am faithful to do exactly what I said I would.  I Am not man and I do not lie.  I never lie to you, I keep My word, I keep the truth and my truth is on your side and I Am for you not against you.  So stand ready in your obedience to receive My best , spirit, soul, and body.
     "A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent." (Pro. 28:20)
    "So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."  (Is.55:11)
    "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:" (Heb. 6:18)
 
Love,
