Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
     Today while sitting in my quiet place, I heard the Lord speak to me about opening a way where there seems to be no way.
     Many
of you have endured a great fight of affliction, and the residue of
those battles seems to be wafting in the air.  The smoke seems to
clearing away, and as the smoke clears from the air around you, you will
begin to see a highway.  A way, that was not known to you before, but
will become sharper and more transparent with every step of faith that
you take.  Obstacles that cluttered your pathway will be blown aside as
you make strides.  There will be for you an opening when needed,
as the Red Sea opened at the right time.  I will magnify Myself in your
eyes, for you will be extremely glad about this way, for your eyes would
never have seen it.  My name will be known by you as your perfect
Provider.  The more you lean on Me, the less you will depend on your own
sight.  Now you will know that I know the way and that I Am the way.  Here
you will feed and find your fulfillment in My promises to you.  You will
find yourself walking in them as you go on the paths that have been
cleared for you.  You will walk from the ruin and desolation of the past
into the fulfillment of your destiny.  The disillusionment of living and
not seeing that I make everything beautiful in My time, will be a thing
in the past.  You will experience for yourself how good your God is to
His own.
     I have allowed the process of change in order to process the giants in
your land
to die off.  All those things that were lies to you on the way.  All
those things that told you that they were bigger than the God you
believed in.  All those giants that you looked upon and saw with your
natural eyes, those giants that kept you from moving and making strides
into your promise.  I have brought you this way to teach you to silence
the lies of the giants.  Now you can fill your mouth and heart with the
sound of victory.  For as you advance in the way, your strength is
rejuvenated, your vision is restored, and your faith is revived!  Your
delight will be in My Word and your desire will be towards Me.  My
assignments and My plans have brought you to My way just in the right
time.
     "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." (Ecc. 3:11)
  
 
     "And
I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in
paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them,
and crooked things straight.  These things will I do unto them, and not
forsake them." (Is. 42:16)
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     I know that as we teach on any subject in the Word of God we receive knowledge.  The more knowledge
we have brings a certain amount of understanding on that subject, and
as we utilize the knowledge with that understanding more wisdom comes.  This is why we will teach again on the help that God has given to us.  With each teaching I want to preface it with a gentle reminder that we
are not to go seeking angel encounters, they are sent on a divine
assignment from God at His command alone.  Psalms 103:20-21; "Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, hearkening to the voice of His wordBless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, all you His hosts, you His ministers who do His pleasure."  They
do God's commandment and His pleasure and they hearken to the Word of
God.  We all know to keep our mind stayed on god and His Word, angels are
created beings that obey God.  Colossians 1:16-17; "For
it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth,
things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or
authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.  And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together)."
     Genesis 28:10-17; "And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.  And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night,
because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and
put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.  And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.  And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest,
to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy
seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to
the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in
thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.  And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither
thou goest, and will bring
thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done
that which I have spoken to thee of.  And Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord
is in this place; and I knew it not.  And he was afraid, and said, How
dreadful is this place!  This is none other but the house of God, and
this is the gate of heaven."  Here we see Jacob had an encounter with angels and the Lord.  Remember angels are to assist the heirs of salvation.  Salvation
being deliverance, preservation, and safety; salvation is the sum
benefits and blessings which the redeem inherit, the present and future possessions.  This is mentioned in the New Testament as well.  John 1:49-51; "Nathanael
answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art
the King of Israel.  Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said
unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest
thou?  Thou shalt see greater things than these.  And he saith unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and
the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."  Jesus
was talking about angels ascending and descending on his humanity, not
his deity.  Since we are joint heirs with Christ, everything that He has, we have, the unseen realm of angels assisting us to fulfill our
destiny too.  We have been given everything that pertains to life and
godliness [everything to be like God].  Ascending
means to go up; to meet, visit, and to withdraw; to rise to a higher
point, rank, or degree; to proceed from an inferior to a superior level
or degree.  That is what is happening for us as we stay in the Word of God, we are rising to a superior
level and they are going up and withdrawing from heaven everything that
we need to help us to keep proceeding into our destiny.  Descending means to be inherited or transmitted; as through succeeding generations by going down or to descend or go downward from a higher source.  So
angels are
helping to bring to us everything that we need to continue.  Angels are
messengers sent from God with a message.  Here is one place we see the
angels assisting Jesus, after Jesus forty day fast.  "Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him
all the kingdoms of the world and the glory (the splendor, magnificence,
preeminence, and excellence) of them.  And he said to Him, These things,
all taken together, I will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself
before me and do homage and worship me.  Then Jesus said to him,
Begone, Satan!  For it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your
God, and Him alone shall you serve.  Then the devil departed from Him,
and behold, angels came and ministered to Him." (Matt. 4:8-11) We
have too much help from our Father to be defeated.  We must let the Word
of God dwell in us richly, so that we know who we are and all that has
been given to us to
see to it that we overcome and live in authority in this life.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     The Spirit of the Lord says;    
      Many of My children have been in a long season where it seems dry and barren.  It has brought thoughts that My Word is not working for them.  Don't be afraid neither doubt My Word, for I have been deep rooting you and pulling up weeds that have taken place in your heart.  I have been bringing you to rely totally on My Spirit for My Spirit brings life and the mind of reasoning brings death.  So I say to you today, to walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the lust of the flesh is a religious, carnal, and worldly thing, and it stands before me as an enemy, but those who would yield to the Spirit they will soar to heights unknown and uncharted by others.  For this is the time that I am unveiling, uncovering, and revealing to my own the secret things in hidden places, those things that I have left for this end time saints, the end time warriors.  I will endow you with a special anointing to do the work that must be done, but it must come only from My hands, not from yours.  Too long you have intervened with your own understanding, your own ability, and your own strength, thinking that you know the way, thinking that you know what is best to accomplish My way and therefore yielding to the Way-Maker.  The One who is the Way.  So, the more you yield to me, the great I Am, the more you will see yourself walking in those divine steps that I ordered for you even before you were thought of.  In spite of everything that you have gone through my plan remains the same, it is fixed, it is eternal and those who would find their way on this narrow pathway, on the righteous pathway, they will find their way in the things of eternity, and they will live and conduct their affairs of life as those things in eternity warrants.  They will live heaven on earth and everyone around them will be a little confused, because they are not walking as all around them, that is until they choose to come into the light, until they come to My understanding. Only then will they know and understand  that deep things must be understood by the deep. All who will go deeper into the things of their God will abound in wisdom, insight and understanding beyond their years, beyond their education, beyond their might says the Lord. No longer depending on the flesh! 
     For this is the final hour of my children and I Am dressing you with the armor that is necessary and needed for this final season and you will come forth as a victorious army and you will waive before the enemy the victorious flag of victory. The enemy  will keep coming, even though he knows his time draws near, for this is his fate.  And you will begin to be stronger with power and might and you will overshadow and take in and scoop in the weak ones of My kingdom, those who have lived only by their flesh, and  some of them will begin to understand as you begin to instruct them by living, by living Godly and by teaching My way.  Instruct their lives by every step that you take, many will wake up and follow, says the Lord.   My shepherds that I have called to the deeper walk will teach My Way and My Word once again. No longer yielding to the religious and fleshly ways of the world, while using My name.  My shepherds will once again be holy and pure, teaching and instructing with My truth.  And this is the day, says the Lord, that all of heaven has been waiting for, for the glorious day, that the sons and daughters of the most high God, unveil, reveal, and uncover who they really are.  For now you know says the Lord,  little by little, clearer light and you’re coming to understanding of who you really are and you realize what great power, what great position I have placed you in.  For you are kings of the most high God and you recognize that and you are no longer acting like that you are alienated from Me but you are alien to this world. Taking your places to occupy until I come.  Knowing that everything that I say is yes and amen!  Now you’ll be turning to My Word for the answers and not to the world says the Lord.  For this is the day, says the Lord, that the world will vomit up the things that it has leaned on and depended on, seeing their trust has been misplaced.  Many will turn to and see My children as pure, holy, sanctified, living on a hill, above the circumstances of this world.  This is why I have consistently been planting you deeper and more solid and secure in Me.  Now everything in darkness will look to the light and they will see the light for you will no longer be covered up but a revelation to all who look, says the Lord.  For this is the day of the Kingdom of the most high God.  My children shall go forth triumphant through this world, causing everything that has held them in bondage to loose the hold over their mind, over their lives, and over the lives of the people who have come under their shade, says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  This is the final day of the army of the Lord. 
     "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God." (Rom. 8:5-8)
     "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." (Rom. 8:16-17)

Good morning,
     Let's get back to learning about ministering angels sent to help us.  We left off at Hebrews 13:2; "Do not forget or neglect or
refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood—being
friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and
doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels
without knowing it."  That
is an awesome thought.  Let's see how easy it is for us to miss the
moment, when we are so preoccupied with all that is going on in our
lives.  This example has to do with Jesus, and shows clearly show we can
miss these supernatural visitations in our "busy" lives.  "And behold, that very day two of [the
disciples] were going to a village called Emmaus, [which is] about seven miles from Jerusalem.  And they were talking with each other about all these things that had occurred.  And while they were conversing and discussing together, Jesus Himself caught up with them and was already accompanying them.  But their eyes were held, so that they did not recognize Him.  And He said to them, What is this discussion that you are exchanging
(throwing back and forth) between yourselves as you walk along?  And they
stood still, looking sad and downcast.  Then one of them, named
Cleopas, answered Him, Do you alone dwell as a stranger in Jerusalem and
not know the things that have occurred there in these days?" (Luke
24:13-18) A
supernatural encounter was going on, where Jesus who had been crucified
and laid in the tomb, was alive and walking along with them and they
were none the wiser, because they were busy about
other things.  Then Jesus begin to open their eyes; "But they urged and
insisted, saying to Him, Remain with us, for it is toward evening, and
the day is now far spent.  So He went in to stay with them.  And it
occurred that as He reclined at table with them, He took [a loaf of]
bread and praised [God] and gave thanks and asked a blessing, and then broke it and was giving it to them.  When their eyes were [instantly] opened and they [clearly] recognized Him, and He vanished (departed invisibly).  And they said to one another, Were not our hearts greatly moved and burning within us while He was talking with us on the road and as He opened and explained to us [the sense of] the Scriptures?" (Luke 24:29-32)  My prayer is for our eyes to be opened to see with the eyes of our
spirit, those things that God has given to us.  Now you remember the Old
Testament account where
the Elijah's assistants eyes were opened to see the angel army that
surrounded the city, ready to take the enemy army down.  "When the servant of the man of God rose early and went out, behold an
army with horses and chariots was around the city.  Elisha's servant said
to him, Alas, my master!  What shall we do? [Elisha] answered, Fear not; for those with us are more than those with them
Then Elisha prayed,
Lord, I pray You, open his eyes that he may see.  And the Lord opened
the young man’s eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of
horses and chariots of fire round about
Elisha.
  And
when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, Smite
this people with blindness, I pray You.  And God smote them with
blindness, as Elisha asked." (2 Kings 6:15-18).  As the psalmist prayed, "Open My eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of Your law." (Ps. 119:18) No doubt, that we are not to go looking for angels, nor worshiping angels, we worship God!  But we will see that  the ministry of angels have never ceased.
     We will look in both the Old and New Testament that angels are always there to assist and aid the heirs of
salvation, that is you and I, as well.  Let's look at Abraham's life.  Genesis 18: 1-2; "Now the Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks or terebinths of Mamre; as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day,  He
lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood at a little
distance from him.  He ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed
himself to the ground."  Abraham
is about to encounter the Lord and two angels.  They have come to assist
and aid Abraham.  The Lord gives Abraham a message and the angels go on
to fulfill the command of the Lord.  Let's take it up in verse 22; "Now the [two] men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood
before the Lord."  
The
angels are referred to as men, because they appeared as men.  That is why
we are told to be kind to strangers, because we may have entertained
angels unawares.  Let's skip to where we become sure that these two are
angels sent on an assignment to Sodom and Gomorrah.  Genesis 19:1; "It
was evening when the two angels came to Sodom.  Lot was sitting at
Sodom’s [city] gate.  Seeing them, Lot rose up to meet them and bowed to
the ground."  Angels have come to Sodom to save Lot and his family, heirs of salvation, and to destroy the city.  Gen. 19:10-13; "But the men [the angels] reached out and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut the door after him.  And they struck the men who were at the door of the house with
blindness [which dazzled them], from the youths to the old men, so that
they wearied themselves [groping] to find the door.  And the [two] men
asked Lot, Have you any others here—sons-in-law or your sons or your
daughters?  Whomever you have in the city, bring them out of this place,
For we will spoil and destroy [Sodom]; for the outcry and shriek against its people has grown great before the Lord, and He has sent us to destroy it."  They are given charge [keep, observe, protect, preserve, to watch for and over].  Next time w
e
will see how vigilant angels are in their care for the children of
righteousness.  We have more for us than ever could be against us, and
it is much better when we have knowledge of spiritual truths.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning.
     God is way ahead of us when it comes to preparing His children for
their future.  We could just remember some of the prophetic words from a
couple of years back, we would be speechless, but when we read the Word
that was written centuries ago, and it hits the target with great
details, it should cause our faith to soar.  Here is another Word that
should also be kept in the treasury of our heart.
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
     After the fires of a forest die down, left in the path are the embers
even as they are being cleared away by the wind, there is an eagerness
to start over.  The ground is ready for the planting of new seed and new
growth.  The land has an insatiable appetite to draw forth in order to
be alive again.  My children have also endured a season of purging by
fire, those who would yield, and now the season of the wind has come
upon the yielded ones.  The wind will aid in the preparation for
clearing away the ashes and creating a fresh environment for hunger and
thirst for the new growth.  My yielded children will come forth with an
insatiable desire to do the work of the Kingdom.  They know that they
have been brought to the Kingdom for such a time as this.  They willingly
stand as watchmen for their generation, their cry for this generation
has come up before Me.  The purging has brought them to a higher level
of being yielded to My Word and hearkening to My voice.  They are now
aware and responsive to heaven, and My will of bringing heaven to earth.  With that awareness comes power which increases as you continue to walk
by
faith.  This power will not be diminished because of outer situations.
     I have spoken to My children, and warned them that outer circumstances
and the world's condition would get worse, but that there would be a
settled inner peace in all who have put their trust in Me.  This is the
peace that becomes more defined in the midst of storms, trials, and
tribulations.  That is why it passes all understanding.  Some have entered
the place of rest, others will follow.  Do not allow yourself to
be pulled into the enemy's arena, stay in the cleft, stay
under My wings.  Do not be conformed to the world and its way of
thinking.  This is where you must come to the place of fearing nothing,
for nothing can harm you under My refuge.  Here I will give to you
insight on how to walk and live in victory.  You are not of this world,
neither am I.  We do not wage war
according to the weapons of this world.  I have given you the
supernatural to walk above the ways of this world, so that the world
will come to you for the wisdom that is beyond their comprehension.  Lean
not unto your own understanding, here, especially is where you must
acknowledge Me.  I will give you My wisdom, which can not be understood
with the mind of the natural man, only a spiritual minded man.  I have
been bringing you to this place of maturity, so that you reflect Me to
the world.  For all her lovers are abandoning her, and now many will look
My way.  I will even now receive them into My love.  Rise up My loves and
go forth with the fresh wind of glory, spreading it like the breathe of
fresh perfume to all who will desire Me now.  Go forth in the power of
the ones who have come through the fire!
     "And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:7) 
     "If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him." (James 1:5)
     "For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and
using mere human weapons.  For the weapons of our warfare are not
physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God
for the
overthrow and destruction of strongholds." (2 Corin. 10:3-4)
     "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." (Pro. 3:5-6)
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     God has provided for us, His children, everything necessary to be more
like Him.  Often we neglect to utilize all that has been given to us,
most of the time it is because of a lack of knowledge, other times it is
because we tend
to let spiritual things slip.  We become caught up in our daily lives
and since every day has a sufficient amount
of troubles in it, that we end up constantly fighting the little
skirmishes that our mind is preoccupied with.  They are of course sent to
keep our minds entangled,  so that we miss the big pictures and miss
out on the big plan.  Thank God, He knows that about us and have fully
equipped us with all that is needed to win the fight.  [According
as 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] Three weeks ago on February 8, we started to draw on the Word concerning the aid and assistance that we have from God's ministering angels.  Let's start with Hebrews 1:14; "Are not the angels all
ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service of God for the assistance of those who are to inherit salvationThe word ministering
is one that acts under the order or authority of another for the
execution of purpose; an attendant or servant that waits upon and serves
for someone's
benefits.  Assistance is giving aid, support, or help; one who acts and
function in order to help one fulfill purposes.  Salvation is
deliverance, preservation, safety; it is the sum benefits and blessings
which the redeemed inherit the present and future possession.  Hebrews 2:1-2; "Since
all this is true, we ought to pay much closer attention than ever to the truths that we have heard, lest in any way we drift
past [them] and slip away: For if the message given through angels [the Law spoken by them to Moses] was authentic and proved sure, and every violation and disobedience received an appropriate (just and adequate) penalty."  Did you get that?  The law that was given to Moses through angels.  Angels assisted Moses in order for him to fulfill his purpose.  We have
this same help and aid to get our deliverance, preservation, safety, to
receive all of the benefits and blessings that belong to us.
     Let us see when angels are first mentioned.  "So [God] drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep and guard the way to the tree of life." (Gen. 3:24) Cherubims are ministering spirits manifesting God's invisible presence and symbolizing His action.  Angels that are to keep the way of the garden of Eden.  To keep is to preserve, observe, protect, guard, and to watch for.  God sent these cherubims in the service to protect and guard the garden of Eden.  I am thinking
that they did a good job!  Now how about angels standing over us to protect, guard, preserve and watch over us?  "For He will give His angels (special) charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways of (obedience and service). (Ps. 91:11) Charge is control of the workings or disposition; management and supervision; the care and custody for the one entrusted.  Angels
are here now to accompany, defend, preserve, and help us to fulfill our
purpose.  Next time we will see how it is easy for angels to assist us
without us being aware.  Sometimes they make their appearance
known as heavenly beings, other times they come and appear as
men.  We will examine the Word and become more aware of all that God has
given.  We need to walk in the realm of the supernatural, until we come
to the place where it is natural to move in the miraculous.  I will leave you
this scripture to ponder; "Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers (in the brotherhood –
being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your
home and doing your part generously) for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it.  I just wonder how many angels I have entertained since my salvation, hmmm.  Something to think about!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     I
have allowed a time for developing and fine tuning your spiritual
hearing.  The steps that I have ordered for you will be effortless for
you to walk in now.  I have sent you winds to blow you on course and
dislodge everything that has settled in you.  Other strong winds that
twisted your course and caused you to be bewildered.  These winds are
coming against the winds of adversity and are assisting you onto the
road to your destiny.  This is My plan for your good, for even when you
have struggled, you did not quit, I have used those things to strengthen
you even more.  I Am aware of all that you have endured while you
continue to stand on My Word.  You must keep your heart pure and pliable
to Me.  I Am your God for good, I Am not against you.  Remember this
always, I Am not bankrupt nor have I depleted My resources for and to
you.  Do not tolerate the voice of the enemy as he whispers lies to you
about My plans for you.  He has no idea nor will he ever understand the
love I have for you.  I will bring you out! 
You
must not depend upon the thoughts of the flesh, for it always yields
more flesh.  Fleshly ideas lead to sin and death, so listen and follow
Holy Spirit.  He will lead you into My truth every time.  Practice being still to learn to follow.
     Understand that what you are seeing in this world serves only to bring
about the desired end.  I have not finished with the "shaking".  All these "shakings" are of everything
that men have depended on, and this must happen to bring as many as I
can to the end of themselves, so that they might begin to hear Me
calling.  It is my great mercy being extended now.  For this present
darkness will deepen, but at the same time My light will begin to shine
bright from all of My children.  The winds will continue to blow in My
House like never before.  There is no fear to all who stay hidden in Me.  There will be springtime in My House after a season of stillness, there
will arise a craving desire to do My Word at all cost.  Passionate and
unbridled love for Me and the Kingdom will come back to My House.  It
will be a fresh spring wind blowing and it will awaken the new.  Many
brave and bold believers have been born from the times of adversity and
they will walk in the heavenlies.  They will shake the trees of the
righteous and cause the fruit to be given and shared, not for fleshly
and selfish reasons or kingdoms, but for My glory.  These are clothed in
the garment of love.  They will wake up the weary ones
and resuscitate all who have longed to be revived and rejuvenated,
breathing more of Me into them by My Word purely given.  They will boldly
require and receive all that is at their disposal from heaven and cause
great forceful ripples of waves to be felt throughout My Church.  Waves
that will awaken My bride, and awaken My beloved, for springtime has
come and We will cover the mountains that have kept you at a great
distance.  I have brought us to the time of releasing My wind, fire, oil,
and water, into My Church all at once.  Get ready for what I have
prepared for you to walk in, it is beyond all understanding.  You will
see and understand that I have fortified through all that you have
endured.  You will see how strong I really am in you.
     "My
beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my
fair one, and come away; For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over
and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of
birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig
tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape

Good morning, 
     The Spirit says;
     I’m bringing my people to a place of complete surrender, where they no
longer trust in their wisdom or strength or ability.  Because even the
strong man becomes weak in my presence, when they recognize that I Am
greater than anything, greater than anyone, and that submission will earn one great help from on high.  And as you humble
yourselves in my hands, I will exalt you and make you strong.  I will cause you to do things that up until now you did not know you possess the ability to do.  Deep things on the inside of you will begin to surface.  Who
you really are will come to the surface, what you really can do will
come to the surface and you will no longer act as a weak Christian.  But you will be Christ like, you will do works and greater works and you will hold your head high in these days that are ahead.  You
will know that you were sent on an assignment, you will understand the
assignment is to gather in as many lost souls as you possibly can.  You understand that this is an awesome assignment that I have given to the daughters and sons of men.  And now you shall arise and do those things that I have called you to do.  And you will not be hindered by the
cares of this life nor the cares of this world but you shall do exploits in my name.  You shall go forth delivering those who are bound, healing those who are weak and sick.  You
shall decree a thing and it shall be so, this is the generation of the
upright, that I have breathed My life into so you might go forth and
represent the kingdom of heaven.  This is Our season, this
is Our day, this is Our time.  There is no demonic forces birthed from
fear that will prevent you any longer.  Do not allow the difficulties that you face to pull you down and cause you to fight on the lower level of this life.  But
you raise up your sights, you raise it up by the words that you speak
and you decree to the enemy that there is nothing that can hold you
down.  And you decree to the enemy that the greater one abides and lives and is resident on the inside of you and because
of the ability that abides on the inside of you that great grace will cause you always to win the race, to win the fight.  That great grace that is upon you now.
     You
will make your prayer to Him, and He will hear you, and you will pay
your vows.  You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be
established for you; and the light of God's favor, shall shine upon your
ways.  When they make you low, you will say there is a lifting; and the humble
He lifts up and saves. He will even deliver the one [for whom you
intercede] who is not innocent; yes, he will be delivered through the
cleanness of your hands. (Job 22:27-30)
     Heal
the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils, freely you have received, freely give. (Matt. 10:8)

Good morning,

     Here is another prophetic Word that was given this Sunday!

     In
more than one way, I do fight for My own, for I Am a mighty warrior.  I
have strategic plans that I always put into action on your behalf.  For I am seeing to your ways, making sure that you fulfill every destiny, every purpose, every plan that I have for you.  And you will not fail as long as you stay in my hand.  It
is when you remove yourself because of trouble, trials and tribulations
and
start listening to the wrong counsel that you place yourself without
the help, the aid and the assistance of the Holy Spirit.  All that I have
given you is to see to it that you make it, and you fulfill your very
purpose.  See to it, says the Lord, that you stay underneath the shadow of the most high God.  For
in so doing you will find strategic actions, plans, and steps to
take in order to complete every divine destiny and every assignment. You
will succeed says the Spirit of grace and mercy and nothing that the
enemy has can defeat you as long as you stay underneath my wings.  So
I say to you again my children, find yourself hidden, inaccessible to
the plans of the wicked one and in so doing you will find yourself
protected and safe, no matter what comes, no matter how it comes, no
matter who brings it says the Lord.  I will see to your ways, for I am your God, I am
your divine protection.  I am Jehovah Jireh, I see to it, I provide a way in advance, if you would only learn to trust me in all your ways.
     And there is no weapon.  And the minute you recognize that there is no weapon, you will do great damage in the kingdom of darkness.  The sons and daughters of the most high God they are arising now!  They’re
waking up from the slumber that the enemy has tried to keep them in, to
make them think that they have no power, they have no might, they have
no insight, they have no ability, but I have come to give you all those
things and much greater things!  And now you’re waking up and realizing, I
can do these things, the greater one abides in me, yes I can even walk in
love.  I can even love the most difficult person because of the greater one on the inside.
     "No
weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that
shall rise against you in judgement, you shall condemn; This is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of Me
saith the Lord." (Is. 54:17)
     Little
children you are of God [you belong to Him] and you have already
defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He
who lives in you is greater,mightier than he who is
in the world. (1 John 4:4)
     Your arm is endued with power; your hand is strong, your right hand is
exalted.  Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne; mercy and
truth shall go before your face. (Ps. 89:13-14)
     This final part is the word that was spoken to call the believer's to touch and agree to see the impossible!!
     "The word of God says wherever two touch and agree asking anything in His name, we have the
petition we desire.  That means that’s a yes and an amen, that means it’s sealed, that means it’s done, that’s Selah.  That means no matter what comes in your life and no matter how it comes, it’s already settled.  It’s already a done deal.  This morning, this day, February 10, 2013, it’s a done deal.  It’s a done deal.  It’s a done deal.  It’s settled, I have all the help I need.  I have all the help I’ll ever need.  It’s a done deal.  It’s
just like this man, he’s going over mountains and trails barefoot and
running, over briars and sticks and mud and rivers and all kinds of
things to get there.  And that’s how it is with our walk with God.  It seems like sometimes we have the most difficult circumstances but we keep going.  We may fall, but
the word of God says, “the righteous man may fall but he arises”.  He arises, he arises.  And if you stay long enough enemy, you’ll see us arise.  You stand around long enough, you’ll see us arise, for we recognize that your weapons can not defeat us. Let's touch and agree.  There’s a way out of this mess, see the devil will wish he would
n't have toched you.  Just like with Jesus, if he only knew, if he only knew, he would have never slain or crucified the Lord of glory.  And so it will be in your life, if he only knew, he would have never messed with you, he never would have come that way."
  
Love,

Good morning,
     As we begin to
draw more upon heaven's economy and rule, we will begin to see more
ministering of angels.  This is because we become more spiritual
sensitive to the realm of the supernatural.  We will need to have more
insight and revelation on what the Word of God has to say on the subject
of angels.  I have had two angelic encounters since I have been born
again, and throughout my life angels have aided and assisted my family
in unusual ways, as I am sure many of us have had these unique God
encounters.  First I would like to give the warnings that God's Word has
for us in regard to our responses to encountering angels.  Colossians 2:18; " Let no one defraud you by
acting as an umpire and
declaring you unworthy and
disqualifying you for the
prize,
insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on
visions [he claims] he has seen, vainly puffed up by his sensuous
notions and inflated by his unspiritual thoughts and fleshly conceit."  We are told never to worship angels, nor to build a ministry based upon angels, or to look with admiration to those who
have had visions.  We are to keep our eyes on the Word of God.  "Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to
be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage
supper of the Lamb.  And he said to me [further], These are the true
words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God.  Then I fell prostrate
at his feet to worship (to pay divine honors) to him, but he
[restrained me] and said, Refrain!  [You must not do that!] I am [only]
another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold]
the testimony borne by Jesus.  Worship God!  For the substance (essence)
of the truth revealed by Jesus is the
spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the inspiration of all
inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose,
including both mine and yours]." (Rev. 19:9-10) The second thing is to heed no new doctrine;  Galatians
1:8; "But though us or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel
unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed."  Any one that comes to you saying anything other than what is in the Word, we are told to let them be accursed [a person or thing doomed for destruction; a curse].  It is important to remember
because we should know what Satan is capable of seeming like an angel; "And no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." (2 Corin. 11:14)
     Having said all that, let's see what the Lord
has to say about our angels! 
Hebrews 1:7; "Referring to the angels He says, [God] Who makes His angels winds and His ministering servants flames of fire; Hebrews 1:14; "Are not the angels all ministering  spirits (servants) sent out in the service of God for the assistance of those who are to inherit salvation?Ministering here means one that acts under the order
or authority of another for the execution of purpose [which means to
accomplish and carry out fully the plan and the designed end]; an
attendant or servant that waits upon and serves for someone else's benefit.  The word assistance
means giving aid, help, or support; one who acts or function as a
subordinate in order to help one fulfill purpose.  Just
from these two verses we understand then that angels are on an
assignment from God as His servants to assist us by giving us aid, help,
or support in order to cause us to fulfill our destiny and purpose
given by God.  They are serving for God and our benefit.  We have more
help than we can imagine.  Next time we will look through the Word of
God and see how often the angels assisted men in the Old and New Testament fulfill
their purposes, and we will also see that often angels were identified
as men.  Maybe we have done exactly what is written in the Bible and
missed our appointment
with angels.  "Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers (in the brotherhood – being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the
comforts of your home and doing your part generously) for through it
some have entertained angels without knowing it." (Heb. 13:2)
