Good morning,

     This word was given a couple of weeks ago during morning worship.  We are about to have our acuity turned up another level and our spiritual eyesight is also steadily improving.  Heaven and the ways of the Kingdom are becoming more like home to us, because the earth and it's luster is becoming dimmer in light of God and His glory.  Today, take this word and "selah", pause and calmly think on this.

    Just stay in this receiving mode, I Am fixing some of your receivers.  It has been a little off and you have not been able to receive from Me as you ought and I Am fixing it right now.  By dealing with some of the fine tuning of your abilities to hear and dealing with the fine tuning of your ability to see things in the spirit that's what I Am doing now.  As I do so you must be sensitive to what I Am doing and how I Am fixing some areas in your lives so that you are able to pick up what I Am doing, when I Am doing it, how I Am doing it, and at just the right time, and at just the right place.  I Am causing you to become more sensitive and in so doing I have just about purged and purified some of you from the cares of this world and the things that you brought in every morning and every time we assemble together.  So that I could fine tune you to hear Me and be able to sense what I Am doing in the midst of you. 
And it won’t take a whole lot, for you’ll begin to walk in the spirit like never before.  You’ll come to another level of walking in the spirit.  For your sensitivity level will be heightened and you’ll hear Me when I speak and quickly you will answer, yes Lord, I hear you and you will obey.  It will not take Me 2 and 3 times to speak to you but you will hearken to My voice, and you’ll say, yes Lord because you now have a fine tuning of the hearing.  I am causing you to be able to pick up the frequency in the Spirit realm to see things, to know things, immediately know where I’m going, what I’m doing.  So that you’re not behind in any good thing.  So that you always come right on time in with me and together we’ll be a symphony.  Everything that I do, you’ll do.  Every move that I make, you’ll make.  Every word that I speak, you’ll say, and then says the Lord, great and mighty works will be done.  Then the enablement of the Holy Spirit will come with demonstrations of power, signs and wonders, they will be wrought in the midst of my children and it will cause many fires to be set.  And when that fire sets others will come in because of that fire that will burn and touch their lives.  Sparks of fires will be ignited all around from simple acts of obedience.  This is the hour that I have been waiting for, this is the hour that the whole creation has been longing for.  The moment that my people will become sensitive to my Spirit and walk in line with me, and hearken to my voice and do the wonders that they see Me doing.  This is our finest hour, this is our greatest moment, and the whole world has been waiting for this and my children shall arise.  Up out of the obscurity, up out of the dead things of this world, they will shake them off and walk in boldness and power and they will do what I have called them to do from the foundation of the world and they will not be afraid.  For great power shall rest upon them and great deeds will they do in my name and they will be known in this final hour.  For I the Lord Am in the midst of them and great is My name and great is my deeds and great is my acts that I do in the midst of my children and all the world will know that I am God and there is none besides me.  Arise My hearing and doing generation!

     "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16:17-18)

     "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:" (1 Corin. 2:4)

      "[But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us; For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]." (Rom.8:18-19)

Good morning,
     This is a prophetic word that was given to me several months ago.  I pray that you are quickened to move deeper in your walk with God.
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
          Birth pangs have begun, these come as the beginning of sorrows.  They are increasing in their intensity and they will bring forth My wrath.  My wrath is not for My children, it is to those that I have wooed and consistently drawn to Me, and have not accepted My invitation and have rejected My salvation of love.  To My own children, you must be aware that My love will grow cold in the time of these birth pangs.  So your love walk must be on high alert and you must be very sensitive and discerning as to what genuine love looks like.  For the enemy will try to twist what you know as love.  He will try to get you to do things under the guise of My love, by manipulating what love does and looks like.  This is why it is important in this season that you know how I love, and when I let those I love, charter their own course.  There is a timing to My love and you must follow My example.  Living in My love will cause you to be more acquainted with My ways.
     Yet, even in the midst of these birth pangs there will be many of My children that will increase in their understanding of love for Me and their love will be more enhanced as well.  From the place of love they will be quick to obey.  Their ability to hear and understand will cause a new level of doing My Word.  I will give them a more detailed understanding in every area of their lives.  They will hearken and obey to new levels, which will open new doors to walking in greater works of the Spirit.  Right in the middle of the birth pangs, My wheat will shoot up over the tares that have been growing in My house.  The aroma of love will send them soaring to heights that few have experienced or known.  When you arise, many things that I have called you too, will arise also.  Many will come to you and lay at your feet their treasures and their insight into doing things, even in the market place.  You will recognize and understand that all is being done for the Kingdom, it  is not about building your own kingdom here on this earth.  It is about opening the way to the Kingdom wide, for all that will be ushered in.  All that you have gone through, all of your testing grounds have been for the advancement of the Kingdom, and to bless you in your obedience.  Now, you will learn to rejoice in all things, knowing that I Am working all things together for your good the love of My heart.
     Matthew 24:5-13 (read)
     Romans 8:28; "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
     Joshua 1:7-8; "Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayestobserve to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

Good morning,
     We will be sharing one of the prophecy given during one of our church
service.  We must go deeper to
understand the Word of God.  The prophetic words must line up with the
written Word of God, that is why we usually give scriptures that the
prophecies given.  We must ponder, selah and calmly think on this things.
     For I am gathering My loved ones from every venue, from every field,
from every avenue, from every hidden place and I’m bringing them under
the shelter.  And even as you asked Me to, “show my your glory” I will.  My glory is a hiding place, My glory is a protective place.  Every where My glory goes, it is a representative of My love and My protection.  So My glory will call you in and My glory will protect you in the days ahead.  My
arms alone are worthy, my arms alone are able to hold you and to
protect you and to provide for you even in the most difficult
circumstances, for I am Jehovah Jireh.  I
have sought ahead of the days that you’re coming to and I have already made provision for you.  So
take pleasure and take provision in Me, take joy in the fact that I am
your provider and I will see to all your needs for there is nothing that
will be missing from you.  There is nothing that will be broken from you, for I am your God.  I am the all seeing God, a God who will protect and provide.  Nothing
that has come to your life has taken Me off guard, for I have well
provided for you in the past and I will provide for you in the future.  I
Am the God that stays the same whether yesterday, today or forever, I
never change and my glory has made a habitation over all those who call upon My name and nothing can penetrate My glory says the Lord.  So as long as you stay hidden in Me nothing can penetrate you.  This is your safety, this is your place of protection, this is where you dwell says the Lord.  Live in me and I’ll live in
you and you will experience in the days ahead a divine supernatural provision.  Allow Me to be your glory, your everything.
     For
there is judgment coming and it’s already begun and if you’re found
outside of My glory, the circumstances of this world will overwhelm you,
but hidden and inaccessible to the things that will come upon the earth
and it will be a mild thing that you will see says the Lord.  For
I have not poured out My wrath, because I Am causing My people to
recognize who I really Am.  So that you begin to trust in Me, not
only as the lover
of your soul but as your provider, as your healer, as your deliverer,
as your sanctifier.  I will be and can be everything that you allow Me to be in your life.  And these are the days that My children will really begin to see Me as their glory, their covering.  It
will be in the times of difficulty that they will experience the
greatest of ease for they will have learned to rest in Me and they will
begin to see things that they have never seen before in the realm of the
Spirit and they will bring them down to earth and they will walk in and
live in it and this time they will bring many others in, under the
covering of this glory.  For wherever the glory is, the enemy could not
penetrate Israel.  But when they walked out from under My
glory, that is when the enemy came and so I say to you today, stay
beneath the glory, stay under the glory, stay under the anointing of
your Father.  Then you will look and see all the things that come upon
this world but it will not come nigh your dwelling for I Am your Father
and I Am good and I Am always good.  I Am always protecting and providing and taking care of my own.  I
will not forsake you nor leave you to your own devices but I will take
care of you,  only follow Me with your whole heart, and you will live in
the glory, says the Lord. 
      But
truly as I live and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of
the Lord, Because all those men who have seen My glory and My
[miraculous] signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet
have tested and
proved Me these ten times and have not heeded My voice, Surely they
shall not see the land which I swore to give to their fathers; nor shall
any who provoked (spurned, despised) Me see it.  But My servant Caleb,
because he has a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will
bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall
possess it." (Num.14:21-24)
      "This is what the Lord Almighty says: "In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.  I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory," says the Lord Almighty. "The silver is mine and the gold is mine," declares the Lord Almighty.  "The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house," says the Lord Almighty.  "And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” (Hag.
2:6-9)

Good morning,
     This will be the last walk
down memory lane.  The last prophetic word that I will be sharing from
the last two years that have to do with love, forgiveness, and us
staying away from offenses.  Remember 1 Corinthians 13:1-3; "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and
if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
  If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Do you get it?  We are nothing, we gain nothing, and we are just noise makers without
love.  We are not making any headway without walking in the love of god.  This year we must do God-love
in our churches, in our families, then to the world at large.  Here is
the word from January 2011.
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
     My dearly beloved, I hear and see the tears that you have cried over
being broken.  I desire you to know that in these moments, I draw closer
to you as a Father does to his child that has been hurt, rejected, or
forsaken.  I declare to you that you are My precious one, the apple of My
eye.  I will never treat you as those who have hard hearts, have done.  
Yet know that their insensitivity is because of their own pain.  Give to
them the compassion that they neglected to show you.  Your harvest of
love will come back manifold.  Always, always, show My kindness in the
face of hurt and pain.  I Am God, and I Am righteous to judge fairly.  I
will repay to everyone the seeds that they have sown.  I know the hearts
of men, and without Me there is nothing good in them.  That is why I Am
constantly wooing the rejected, the downcast, the forsaken, and the one
who is least.  I seek to save them from their own self-destruction.  My judgment is righteous and fair.  So, turn your
tears of hurt to tears of prayers, uttered for those who have inflicted
wounds.  Be like Me in your forgiveness.  Now stand back and see how I
will turn what the enemy meant to harm you into your finest hour.  They
meant it for harm, but I meant it for good, to save you and to bring you
out into a large place.
     There is a fresh season ahead for you.  Most of all I will bring you
into the place that I have prepared for you to show forth My glory.  Be
sure and know that your gifts will make room for you.  You will not be
disappointed with My purpose, trust Me, I will not fail to delight your
heart.  I still have great surprises planned for all that put their hope
in Me.  You will experience for yourself days of new liberation from
pain, hurts, and any form of rejection.  It will be as if you are dancing
in the sun, without the threat of rain.  You will know what it is to be
covered by My shade of favor.  You will see and know that a divine
healing has taken place in your heart.  All that the enemy lied to you
about and said that I would not heal you of, I will do it for My
pleasure in providing for you.  Stay ready for the changing of the
present circumstances, they will be swift and many will stand with
wonder at the speed
of change.  So do not allow yourself to be overwhelmed or depressed by
what you see.  For soon you will not see these enemies in your land
again.  Your destiny is one of great hope.  Believe only and you will see!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     Today is another "selah" from
December 2011.  It is all about love and preferring one another and not
trying to offend or being easily offended.  Preferring means to put or set forward or before someone.  The someone being ourselves, we must learn this now.  "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;" (Rom. 12:10) "We
know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that
we love the brethren (our fellow Christians).  He who does not love
abides (remains, is held and kept continually) in [spiritual] death". (1
John 3:14)
     The Spirit of the Lord says;    
      Do
not allow your feelings to lead or guide you.  Now you must live by
faith, which is not feeling based.  Here is where you must lean your
entire personality over on Me and keep your hand and your eyes on Me.  
Decisions made now centered on your feelings will surely end in ruin and
disaster.  Hear My voice clearly and watch My steps also.  Know Me and My
Word, for those who once followed Me and did not truly love Me will
find it difficult to hold on.  So it may seem as if you are walking
alone, but remember I always have many that have not bowed their knee to
the god of this world.  I am restoring joy and strength to many that
stood through the difficult tests and trials, those who have endured
hardness as My soldiers will shine forth as a great city of light.  
Instead of failing, they have learned how to overcome by the blood and
the Word of
their testimony.  When tested, tempted, and tried they withstood the
enemy's beguiling voice of deceit.  As in any war, it is the
front-liner's who are assaulted the most.  Yet, when they outlast all
attacks, they receive the greatest reward and spoils.  Rewards of honor
and valor, things that distinguish them from all others who march
alongside them.
     Do
not let the tactics of the wicked one cause you to become offended, for
many of your loved ones may lend their members to offend in this
season.  Many who oppose Me may be found in your own household, these are
signs of the times and of My soon return.  You must keep on walking to
higher places in Me.  Run with those who are running to win, not those
who have let the love of this world's system overtake their love for Me. 
Remember I have foretold you that people would be lovers of themselves,
haters of those who do good.  So you must subdue your feelings, for the
enemy desires for you to make strategic moves based only on what you
feel.  You must realize that these choices would cause chaos in your
life.  Now is when you must pursue the enemy with the Word, war with the
promises that I have given unto you.  My Word will stand through it all,
every violent attack against you was sent as a missile to
bring you down.  I expect My warriors to rise with the weapons of
warfare that I have placed at your disposal.  They are mighty to bring
you through to victory!  Stay safe underneath the shadow of My wings!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     As promised for the rest of
this month we will go over the prophetic words that were given to us in
the past couple of years concerning our love walk, not allowing offenses
to grow, and cutting off the root of bitterness.  This is a challenge
now but will become increasingly difficult if we don't practice this
every day in our lives.  "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved" (Mtt. 24:12-13) We
all know that our countries have fallen into more and more iniquity and
sin, so we at the Father's house must love one another first, and then
love the lost with God's love.
  "We
know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that
we love the brethren (our fellow Christians).  He who does not love
abides (remains, is held and
kept continually) in [spiritual] death." (1 John 3:14)
So let us selah on this word!  It is from July of 2011:
   
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     Love
is the answer to you walking in the great promises that I have set for
you.  My love is not only powerful but it also unlocks the door to your
true prosperity.  My love is a preserver also.  It will be a wall around
you and cause you to be deeply rooted in Me.  Plumb the depths, rise to
the heights, search the length, as you do you will truly experience a
full life.  I have placed in your life people that you need to love
unconditionally, so that your own heart will experience My expansive
love for you.  Every one steps in My love by faith, it is not by your
feelings, but by My Word.  I love like that, I love that way, not by what
I see from you but by My Word.  Don't let your love grow cold, forgive
quickly, let it drop.  Do not be afraid to open yourself to My love,
don't fear being hurt.  Otherwise the enemy will see to it that you have a
list of offenses and bitterness that strangles your freedom to love
big.
The love in My House should always be vast. I Am involved in the
process of changing each child that calls upon My name. I know it takes
time for you to become more like Me. You must not waste another moment
running from this love, I will fulfill your fondest dream. Allow this
great love to heal all brokenness you harbor in your secret places, I
will send forth the healing oil to cover and anoint those hidden places
and make you stronger, where you were once weak. Don't faint in the
waiting process, for here in the waiting is where you begin to mount up
with wings of an eagle and soar to heights of love that you have never
known before. This great revelation of love will grow in you and you
will be unstoppable by the wicked one.  He will not be able to bog you
down with other people's hurts and offenses either.  You will not be
strapped down by their inadequacies of not delving into the deep, the
deep pools of My love place your expectation of returns of
love on Me, do not look to those around you, I will fill you up to
overflow with more love.  I have urged and consistently drawn them also
to this deep place, but each person must choose this life of love.  Death
has to be taking place daily in order for this love to lived out.
     On the other-side of persevering in this love is great joy and peace.  Come and sit in My Presence and let this great balm cover all bruised
places of rejection, betrayal, yes, all hurts.  I will kiss you with the
kisses of soundness and wholeness.  You have run to and fro' looking for
healing of body, soul, and of mind, never realizing that here in the
quiet place where love abides is the sweet kiss of wholeness.  Do not be
deceived, if you love Me you must love the children in My house.  Love is
in word and deed.  My love must remain, it will preserve your soul
through the last days.  It is not impressive to just remember My Word but
to apprehend My Word by living in My love.  I act in loyal love.  I do
what's right and set things right and I delight in those who do the
same!
     "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." (1 John 4:7-8)
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     At the beginning of the year, our church, like many other churches start the year off with days of fasting.  Our fast is for 21 days, it is receiving communion and taking the Word of God concerning our stand for the year.  Whether we are believing for healing, deliverance, restoration, etc., we are pairing it with verses that we will confess while partaking the Body and the Blood.  Also, our messages both preached and prophetic have been on love, forgiving, and not being easily offended.
     For about a month now the Lord has been telling me to pull up the "words"that were given on the blog concerning love, forgiving, and staying free of offense.  So for the next few blogs we will have reminders.  You will notice, that as always the Spirit of God prepares us well in advance.  These words were years ago.  That is why we are to write the Word of God in our hearts so that it will become a part of us.  That is why it will come up in us as we are going on our way.  "Bind them continually upon your heart and tie them about your neck.  When you go, they shall lead you; when you sleep, they shall keep you; and when you waken, they shall talk with you." (Pro.6:21-22) Selah, pause and calmly think on these words.  This prophetic word is July 29, 2011.
 
Good morning,
 
The Spirit of the Lord says;
 
     Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirred up around you.  Do not quickly forget that I have said, "in the time of trouble I will hide you safe in My pavilion and under the shadow of My wings."  My desire is that you would learn to keep your eyes and your mind stayed on My goodness to you.  Goodness and mercy are on assignment from heaven to do you good.  You must stay readily accessible by pressing into the hiding place that I have for you.  There you have access to the Kingdom, all that you need for recovery, restoration, and a refreshing.  Yes, I have given to you all that is needful to live a victorious life.
     You are standing at the dawn of your breakthrough, do not be deceived now.  This is where the enemy will pull out all the wicked spirits of offenses, bitterness, and unforgiveness.  Your thoughts and your words you must put a watch on and cast them down.  You do possess authority over them.  Remember your fight is not against people, but against principalities, powers, against rulers of the darkness of this present world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Here is where the spirit of deception will turn my children against one another, fighting in the House, instead of against the enemy.  This will cause you to be defeated when you fight against those who I am for.  In war, many times there is fire sent out that can hurt and maul their own allies.  This confusion is a smoke screen to keep you from receiving what you have labored and believed for.  Once you step through the opening, the light that you will have will be greater than what you had before the storm came.  What you have glanced at in the shadows shall be clearly known.  I make darkness light, and the crooked places straight!  More than before, you must stay glued by love to the members of My Body that I have connected you with, this is for your healing and your deliverance."  Take refuge and be confident in Me until the calamities pass, for I Am your hiding place.
     The dawn of our breakthrough is dependent upon our response.  We must keep our hearts pure, and stay in love, quick to forgive, and not be easily offended.  Next time we will dig in the archives and see how the Spirit of the Lord warned, taught, and prepared us before now.  He was giving to us time to get in cadence with the Kingdom.
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.

Good morning,
     I am reminded quite often of God's grace in and upon my life, and how much I depend upon it.  For most of us, we really recognize and know who we are, and what we can or cannot do without God's grace in our lives.  "But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness(2 Corin. 12:9)  Grace means merciful kindness by which God exerts His holy influence and power upon souls [mind, will, and emotions] and turns them to Christ by strengthening and increasing in them with His knowledge and virtue [power] until we are governed by His divine power.  That is simply put by saying that as we yield to God, He causes His ability and power to be over our own inability and weakness.  When we can't do it, grace can!  This is not some "weak grace", doesn't sound like some grace that isn't enough to help me overcome sin, sickness, troubles, addictions, emotions, etc.  No, this grace is God's influence upon our hearts and how it reflects in our lives lived under the power of it.  The word, "sufficient" means to be possessed of unfailing strength; to be strong; to be enough; to be satisfied and contented; also to defend and ward off.  That adds more "umph" to the definition of grace.  I have God's holy influence in me, therefore I am possessed with His unfailing strength, that is enough!  Sounds like if I yield to this grace, then I can fully perform whatever task that I have to do at all times, no matter how it comes, or when it comes.  It goes on further to say, that God's strength and power is made perfect in my weakness. (My son said, "it almost makes you want to be weak.") Perfect is to make complete, to finish, to accomplish,to bring to an end, to add what is yet wanting in order to render a thing full; to bring to the end proposed; to a fulfillment.  Weakness is "want of strength", feebleness of the body or soul [infirmity]; want & strength & capacity required – a) to understand; b) to do things great and glorious; c) to restrain corrupt desires; d) to bear trials and troubles.  Isn't that wonderful!  Did you hear that?  This grace gives you unfailing strength to always be able to understand [any and all things that you otherwise wouldn't be able to].  This holy influence gives you the capacity to do things great and glorious [beyond your required want of strength].  God's grace, His ability and influence adds what is lacking that we are be able to restrain corrupt desires of any and all kind.  Also, this extraordinary grace enables us to bring to and end and accomplish and bear every trial and trouble powerfully.  This is the grace that God spoke to us about on December 14th.  This grace will fuel your faith.  Now, let's meditate on that prophetic word concerning grace once again, with a whole new perspective about His grace.  We are powerhouses, filled with the grace, if we yield to it.  Next time you are faced with any areas where you feel incompetent, weak, incapable helpless, powerless, or unable, "let the grace of God rule".  God's grace is really powerful and sufficient.  There is nothing that is impossible for us if we let the grace of God be multiplied in our lives.
 

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

     This year we must expect to
see God's great grace over and upon our weaknesses and our inabilities.  I
am not going to say a "blanket" statement, like, "if you don't expect
this great extraordinary grace, then you won't see it", but God wants
us to look for it with anticipation.  You must grow up this year in that
grace, we can no longer afford to be prey for the enemy's tactics and
lies.  We must allow this grace to cover us, especially where we are
weak.  Emotional weaknesses, character weaknesses, physical and financial
weaknesses covered by His ability and power.  "But He said to me, My grace (God's power and ability) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger [emotional, physical, etc] and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your]
weakness
.  Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses
and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah)
may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me." (2 Corin.
12:9)
From
this verse alone, I have received insight concerning this coming grace
and glory.  I am not boasting in myself, I am humbly repeating to you
what has been shown me.  All who receive this grace will move over into
the area of exploits for the Kingdom and for our God!  Always, the key is
to stay humble, for Abba says this;
"Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his elevation [as a Christian, called to the true riches and to be an heir of God]," (James 1:9)  "But He gives us more and more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully).  That is why
He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it)." (James 4:6) 
Those
who are humble enough to receive it, means they will not allow their
weaknesses to stop them or back up or give up, they simply go ahead and
allow the grace to meet that evil tendency with all of the forefront and
the back-up of God's power and ability to meet any evil tendency!  Next
week we will talk a little more about this extraordinary grace!  It is
your now, receive it and move with His grace.  As I close here is a short
and powerful word that was given on New Year's Eve, receive it for
yourself.  {We were going over a bridge, when He begin to speak] Expect
God to show up at all times.  Go and be blessed this year like never
before.
     The Spirit says;
     Crossing over, crossing over.  Look at this bridge, this is a new bridge.  You will cross over many new bridges.  Bridges are being made for you to cross over.  Crossing over things that were too hard for you in the past.  Areas that were torn down in your lives before, I Am erecting new bridges to cause you to cross over and do what I planned for you to do from the beginning.  Every Pharaoh that tried to prevent you, no matter what avenue this unrighteous enemy arose from, will be brought down.  Every
promise will be fulfilled, every purpose will be done.  This
extraordinary grace will make it seem sweat-less, or easy for you.
     You
are going to know on the inside, by your spirit man that this was your
God, that this is your Father.  That I did this and right then and there
you are going to stop and give Me all the glory and great praise will
come from you.  I Am revealing and manifesting Myself in a new way to
you, it is not new to Me, but to you.  It is not going to be the same
old things.  You are going to know Me, really know Me.  It will not be like
previous years or anything you have seen in a continual manner.  You
will be right on with Me, more right on than you have ever
been before.  That is why there will be a revolution of My signs,
wonders, and demonstration of Holy spirit.  My children will grow up and
take their place in the Kingdom and do what they were created to do.  They will shake this world with My Presence
and a Holy revolution!

Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
     This was our prophetic word given for the New Year!  Meditate on it, receive it for yourself, and walk in it this year. 
     A shifting has taken place.  A shifting in the atmosphere and those who would run with me, they will run.  They will run like never before and those things that used to hold them captive, they no longer hold any power over them.  For all of a sudden they have awakened.  The
saints of the most High God, they have awakened and they will no longer
be tied down nor barred down with the things of this world.  And
they are about to soar like eagles and they are about to claim those
things that the enemy stole from them that are so high, so weighty, so
far above the things of this world.  Strong restoration and
recovery operations and strategies to usher in healings of hearts and bodies.  And
all of a sudden says the Spirit of grace and mercy, signs and wonders
and miracles, and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit, will break out in
the camp of the most High God.  And people who have been
the rejected ones, the cast down ones, I’m gonna lift up.  Then the glory
of the Lord God will shine all around about them and then they will
walk in the strength of their great God.  They will no
longer depend upon flesh nor the strength of their own might but their
dependency will be upon Me and they will do great works and it will be
noted in heaven for the ministering angels will come and assist them to
do the works that they could not do.  And then all of a sudden, I’m gonna sweep you in to My glory planned for these days, says the Lord.  For
this is the great awakening of my church.  No longer shall she sleep in religious, in religion, or in religious ways or traditions.  All
of a sudden she will cast off those old discards of clothing that she
has been wearing and she will awake in the new apparel of righteousness,
holiness and power of the Holy One.  And they will do
great works and the enemy shall shake in his boots because now this is
the time, this is the day, this is the season because the awakening has
come!
 
     "And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a
proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in
the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading
them], So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God." (1 Corin. 2:4-5)
     "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?" (Heb. 1:14)
     "Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant]." (Jam. 4:10)

Love,
Pastor D.
