Good morning,

I have been praying and believing for certain issues that have
come up in my family. My mom has been attacked in her body. She is 82
years old and has never been sick. Now, there has been an attack on her
body and my father is being attacked with worry and concern for her. I received a call the other day that my brother may have contracted
the "West Nile Virus." I have also been standing against some other trials
and tribulations that I have encountered in my immediate family. In
other words, the enemy is trying to cause confusion and distraction, we
must remember that this is the purpose of the "cares of this world". We
all know that life is full of challenges and difficulties, but the Word
is the answer to our everyday challenges. We must be discerning and be
quick to stand on the Word of God, and not allow the cares to keep us
distracted from what the Spirit is doing and from hearing God. Do not let them enter into your heart and choke the Word and make it
ineffective. They are designed by the enemy to keep us from doing the
Word of God. Here is a personal word that I am sure you will benefit
from as well.

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Examine your own lives, to see if you
are in the faith. If you don't, you will find yourself doing things
little by little that you never would have done, because of your love
and honor for Me and My Word. Now the enemy has you wiping it away with
comments like; "He understands and He knows." You must have
a high regard for My Word and know that I watch over My Word to perform
it in your life. Do not think that I Am like everyone else for I Am
not, I never change and My Word has been proven true.

Once you have found My character and My
heart I expect you to be like Me concerning those areas that I have
revealed Myself to you about, areas that are unchanging, fixed, and
immovable! Then you are imitating your Father, not being tossed to and
fro by every wind of doctrine. Not being persuaded by the constant
changing ways of man's mind, neither by going about doing your own ways,
those things that please you, without any regards to Me and My ways. This behavior is not the way of the Kingdom, neither is it the way of
those who are called by My name. The enemy thought like this, and it
was this kind of self-elevation that took him to the depths of hell. It
will not be so for all who honor Me as their God and Father, they will
realize and know for themselves that My way is the only Highway, bringing them to the promise.

Even as darkness covers the earth, I Am,
only, and always, will be the Light. I will enlighten your dark days so
that even your darkness will be light to you. This will happen as you
lean on Me and begin to see as I see. For I Am the way, so I Am always
leading you in the right path. This is where your faith and trust in me
will be strengthened. We are stepping into the season of restoration
which will be like the brightest light turned on in the midst of
darkness. I will restore the joy of your salvation, I will restore what
has been stolen from you, your dreams, your vision, your calling, your
anointing, and your children will be restored. With Light
comes clarity for all of these things and to walk in the fullness of the
restored! Don't be shaken by darkness for I Am your Light.

"Examine
yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you
not realize that Christ Jesus is in you unless, of course, you fail the
test?" (2 Corin. 13:5)

And the cares of this world and the
deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in, choke
the word and it become unfruitful. (Mark 4:19)

"And I
will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the
canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which
I sent among you." (Joel 2:25)

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

I would like to talk a little bit about the question asked in Luke 18:8; " …Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? This is not talking about coming and finding those
who believe in Him, but those who believe His Word, for they are one. The Lord has been saying to me, to believe again. To believe that His
Word is true, which challenges us to delve deeper into the Word of God. I would like to take up with where I have been studying about the
authority that we have as believers that believe the Word. Before I
start there I would like to share what our church has been practicing,
it is a challenge as well. "What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy
lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." (Psa. 34:12-14) As
we walk in our authority, we must do these four things, for we all
desire the life of God and we all want to have many good days, right?
Well then we have to avoid saying anything "hurtful", never let a lie come out of our mouth, stop doing evil and do good. Finally we must seek peace and crave it!!

Everyone of us is in a spiritual war whether we like it or
not. God is always trying to influence us toward the Kingdom of
righteousness and to live for Him consistently. While the devil and his
co-horts are trying to control and manipulate us into living lives that steal, kill, and destroy us in a variety of ways. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7) Resist
is a military term, it means to stand against or stand in opposition
to. It demonstrates the attitude of one who is fiercely opposed to
something and therefore does everything within his power to defy its
operation. It is important to note that our
submitting to God and resisting the devil involves us receiving God's
grace in our lives. Let's read verse 6; "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) Grace, God's
ability over and upon our inability, we have help to live in this
authority from God. Is God sufficient for us? Look; "A final word: Be strong with the Lord's mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, [not against your boss, neighbors, family members, or against your family in Christ] but against the evil rulers [principalities] and authorities of the unseen world [powers], against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world [rulers of darkness], and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms[ spiritual wickedness]. Use
every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so
that after the battle you will still be standing firm." (Ephes.
6:10-13) Before
we go any further, meditate on that and let it soak in, until you
really believe that God desires to live through us. His mighty power
seen through us! That is worth pausing and thinking on. This is God's
grace, His gigantic and enormous ability being
demonstrated through earthen bodies. It is the only way that we can
stand firm against the strategies and the tricks of the enemy. Our
authority comes from us fully recognizing that it is God all the while
working through us and energizing us. "…. not by [our] might, nor by [our] power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts." (Zech. 4:6) Next time we will look at the principalities, powers, the rulers of darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in heavenly places, those who we have authority over, and take back our God-given rights! This is spiritual warfare that we are equipped to win.

Love,

Good morning,

This is a Word that I have heard spoken to me at least twice in
the past two weeks, so I thought that it would be as encouraging to you
as it has been to Me. I know that we have all been tested, but remember
we shall come forth as gold. Our Father is not an absentee father,
neither does He stand idly by while we go through. He never leaves us
alone!

You are My treasure, I take
delight in you. You have to know the great passion that I have for you
as I have taken you as My own. Before you were even formed I knew you
and loved you. Before you lived one day on this earth I made plans for
you to be eternally Mine. There is nothing and no one that will stop
that from happening. You are the only one that could ever prevent it,
but if you say yes and continue to yield to me, I will see to it. It
does not matter what may come against Us, it will be as I have spoken. Now, understand that all impurities must come out, and the pressure is
allowed to rub away all that have tried to stop My plan from coming to
pass. Do not fear, there is not one thing allowed, or even those schemes
of the wicked one that has come, that will destroy you. On the other
side you have not seen how strong and beautiful you will be. The weaknesses will be made your strengths, the impossible will be made
into the miraculous. I have not forgotten you, neither will I forsake
you. I have and will always keep you imprinted on My hand and you are
the apple of my eye. You always have My attention.

Even when you failed, you cried out to
Me, I heard you, I Am your answer. When the circumstances of life
overwhelmed you, you lifted up your voice to Me and I saw your trust in
Me. Your reliance on Me brings Me joy. Listen My beloved one, everything
is momentary and it is all a vapor. I know that right now it seems that
it is too much for you, but remember and rely on this truth, I Am more
than enough! My dear one, I knew the way that you would take before you
chose, I have sent you help from My heart of love. With great
compassion and kindness I keep drawing you closer. I Am not angry with
you, I love you. I Am your help, your source of strength and peace. This
is the time that you need a refuge, a hiding place, a place to recover
and take confidence in the aid and assistance that I Am for you. What
kind of Father would I be, if when you needed Me most, I abandoned you. I
would not be any kind of
father at all if My child asked Me for bread and I gave them a stone. When you cry to Me for help, take courage I will stand up and command
all that is Mine to render you help! All is mine and I can turn every
course of this world to your aid. You will never lose My love for you
and as long as you turn to Me with a sincere heart, I Am your Rescue. Know that, believe that, take confidence in that. You will never be
alone in this walk. I know that this love is beyond your understanding. I
love those who don't love me. So, for you My sweet love, those that have
turned to Me and love Me with the same love that I have given, My Words
for you are immeasureable, unlimited, unsurpassing. You have My gaze,
you are lovely to Me, My love. My love is more than an emotion or
feelings that can be felt, it is all that I Am. Since you have turned
your face and heart to Me to be taught of this great all powerful love, I
will not fail to take you
step by step into a deeper place with Me. Believe in My love for
you, for then I will meet your every need.

"The LORD hath
appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an
everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." (Jeremiah 31:3)

"Now
our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath
loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope
through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word
and work." (2 Thess. 2:16-17)

"If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous
gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven
[perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep
on asking Him!" (Matt. 7:11)

"Show me your unfailing love in
wonderful ways. You save with your strength those who seek refuge from
their enemies. Guard me as the apple of your eye. Hide me in the shadow
of your wings." (Ps. 17:7-8)

Love,

Good morning,

Already many of us have experienced cataclysmic events in our natural and spiritual lives. This is when we as believers lean upon the everlasting arms of God, we lean our whole person upon His infallible Word. We can be sure of this, that all of us who simply put our trust in the Lord will find a refuge [anything to which one has recourse or aid, relief, or escape, retreat, secure height, high place] in Him. "God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas, Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning]." So, since we are in the tabernacle of God, we will not be moved [we will not be greatly shaken, dislodged, overthrown, or dropped]. God will help us right early. Right means to turn towards us and make clear. As we continue with the Lord, every step will be made clearer and greater understanding will come as we refuse to be moved. Here is the other prophetic word that I would like to share with you today. Selah, pause and think on it.

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Be encouraged as you are pressured from every side, I am using all things to draw you closer to Me. My Word will be accomplished, every prophetic Word will come to pass, as this age is drawing to a close. Be not weary in trusting in Me, I will uphold you and preserve you. Your forefathers and the saints of old, longed to see your day. This is the day that my glory will shine brightly, even more as darkness increases. This is the day of My greatness, when My anointing shall rest on all that will yield, the old and the young. Wait, write and be attentive. All things that I have spoken in My Word are accelerating to an end. Stay in a state of readiness. Awaken yourself to My Presence. Do not become overwhelmed by the pressures, you must overpower them by submerging yourself into communion with Me.

Do not fear the many testings and trials of these times, for I am calling you even now, to a place where your very breath is dependent upon Me. You, My children must see and understand that without Me, you can do nothing. For too long, you have put your hope in your abilities and strength. This present darkness will cause you to lean on Me and acknowledge Me in all of your ways. I delight in keeping you on the ordered steps for your destiny. Changing your mind set and thinking just the way I do, will keep you in all of My ways. My way is the high way of living to all ages and generations. This is the dawning of a new day for all that call on My name from a pure heart. I am washing you from all that have kept you defiled. This season you must not look to the temporal, it is becoming more fruitless. Do not look to those things that are around you, your jobs, careers, educational system, financial institutions, even your ministries or leaders. Many things that you have relied on are failing. They are all subject to change, by the power of My Word. My people must learn to trust in Me and My Word. Because as you continue in My Word, you will continue to breakthrough into the glories of the Kingdom. You will not fail and neither will My Word. An uncommon and peculiar grace will overflow into My children's lives. As you push past the place of complacency and hunger for more, I will arise in you! Yes, in supernatural signs and wonders, I will arise. I will do fearsome and wondrous things that will confound the wise. Signs in the heavenlies and in earth's atmosphere, greater demonstrations of My judgment and My mercies. Keep your eyes looking up. I Am drawing near to those that are drawing closer to Me. I will revive you and you shall have double honor in Me. Encourage yourself, be filled by singing psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, and making melodies in your heart unto Me and watch your anointing double.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

Again I am placing the prophetic word that the Spirit of the Lord spoke to us last year for as we reread them we can see that nothing has caught our Father off guard. Knowing that this is true, then we can be assured that He has prepared for us too. "For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently." (1 Corin. 10:13) All the while we are in continuous and progressive movement. We are like a flowing river that moves determinately forward. We must never become indifferent nor compromising when it comes to God and His Word. We, the children of God move forward by doing the Word no matter what goes on in the world. Let the Voice of Holy Spirit answer the voice of the world without. "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]" (John 16:33)

October 11, 2010

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Come away and draw close to me, I want to prepare you for the difficult days ahead. Many of my dearest little ones will be caught off guard because they refuse to listen to My voice, they have been hearing the voices of many false prophets. They are saying, "all is well, and you have nothing to be warned about." Yet, I have placed watchmen on the walls, who have seen the perils from afar, and have been declaring to all that will have ears to hear, to hear what the Spirit is saying. No, do not regulate your life by fear, you must always live by faith, trusting My Word. You should be familiar with the chamber of My room, where I reveal and make known all secrets to My holy ones. My Word is true, all of it is true. It is your map and clearly shows where we are and where we are headed. It is all good to those who have put their trust in Me. Warnings are not to bring fear, but in order that you may be aware. Your preparation, should be to become sensitive to My voice, get used to hearing the sound of Me. I will lead you to the still and peaceful waters, even in the midst of the storms of life. I Am your hiding place, your safe haven. So don't be dismayed when you see what will come upon the earth. It has always been coming to this. Those who have made me their Refuge will see the pressure rising and building over the wicked and the evil, but it will not be able to touch My faithful ones. I have been a Shield to all who know Me as a Warrior and to all who have allowed Me to fight for them in past battles. Wake up to the cry of My prophets that run with My Word, you will recognize My voice. I Am all that is desired and needed by My loves, a strong fortress to them, while the rich have trusted in their wealth as their high wall. Everything that has been erected and built by all other gods will come down, every high place that was built by this Babylon system will experience a crash. Men that doubt Me and My Word have already built up a new system to lean and trust on. Their wisdom will be exposed as complete folly, yet they will only see it has higher intelligence.

In the midst of these perilous times, water, rain, and the wind will blow My loves from their places of obscurity. They will become vibrant once again with new life to spring up with fresh wells of revelation, insight, worship and understanding of the times and seasons. Arising with abilities that will bypass their natural capacity to sustain and cause them to prosper even in the time of famines. They will dream with clearer definition and awaken with understanding. The visions they see will give them deeper insight into the next steps that must be taken to bring them to a place where they are inaccessible to the climate around them. Their worship will come from those deep wells that have been untapped, but now the thirst for more will require them to draw more. Sharpen your blade, strength requires you to be sharp now! The wisdom you receive from Me will help you to succeed. I have sent My armies from heaven to be at your aid, for My holiness will be displayed by My righteous ones. You, My loves will be My pride and My glory, even in the middle of difficult times!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

"Come now, you who
say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a city and spend a
year there and carry on our business and make money. Yet you do not know
[the least thing] about what may happen tomorrow. What is the nature of
your life? You are [really] but a wisp of vapor (a puff of smoke, a
mist) that is visible for a little while and then disappears [into thin
air]. You ought instead to say, If the Lord is willing, we shall live
and we shall do this or that [thing]." (James 4:13-15) We
should be so thankful for the day that we have to live and show the
glory of God and be about our Father's business! Statistics say that
there is one death every 14 seconds, 107 deaths per minute,
6,390 per hour, 153,000 per day, and 56 million per year. At the same
token there is one birth every second, 7.9 births per minute, 10,000
births per day and
4,131,019 births per year. So, while we are here let's not be afraid to
effect our world for the Kingdom of God. So that when we are through
here we may hear, "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Let us
remember to embrace transition for it will take us to the next level of
glory and faith. Embrace means to take or
clasp in the arms, press to yourself, to take up gladly or eagerly, to
accept willingly, to receive and undertake. Transition is a passage from
one mode, condition, or state to another a brief modulation, a sudden
unprepared mode or slow methodical change over a period of time. In order to embrace transition we cannot be afraid of the unknown. "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid"; and then again "In God I will put my trust, I will not be
afraid, what man can do to me." (Ps. 27:1; Ps. 56:11) Afraid
is to be filled with fear and alarm; filled with concern, regret, or
sorrow over a situation that is or seems to be inescapable. God will keep us as we live each day for Him. “When
I said, My foot is slipping, Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord,
held me up. In the multitude of my [anxious] thoughts within me, Your
comforts cheer and delight my soul!” (Psalm 94:18-19) "For
You have delivered my life from death, yes, and my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God in the light of life and of the living." (Psalm
56:13)

So enjoy the day to the fullest that God
has given to you and whatever mis-steps are taken God is the Restorer
and our Redeemer. "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." (Ps. 118:24) Rejoice
and be glad means to be joyful and have a cheerful countenance it
denotes a more lasting or more certain happiness; a demonstrative
happiness and lightheartedness. We all know
that we are going to have troubles and that there will be times of
sorrow and troubles. We know how to deal with those issues, with the
Word, and then we go through those issues, not live in sorrow, anger,
troubles, etc.. Let's place our focus and attention on the day that we
are in. Let's read the next verses from back to front and get a better
understanding; Matthew 6:34; "So
don't worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough troubles of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries. [verse 33] What you should want most
is God's Kingdom and doing what He wants you to do. Then He will give
you all these other things you need." (ERV) Embracing everyday is a part of embracing our transition, pressing past all obstacles and keeping our minds stayed on the Word. Finally we must, "look
carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and
accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible,
intelligent people), Making the very most of the time [buying up each
opportunity], because the days are evil. Therefore do not be vague and
thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the
will of the Lord is." (Ephes. 5:15-17) Vague is not clearly defined, grasped, or understood,
indistinct, lacking expression, vacant, not clearly thought out. That
should never be a day that we live, one that is vacant, lacking
expression, or not clearly thought out. We will spend every day living
for the Kingdom. "If we obey and serve Him, we shall spend our days in prosperity and our years in pleasantness and joy." (Job 36:11)

Love,

Good morning,

Today as I was out walking and looking around me I could see many things that were green and growing, but also in the middle of green growth there was scattered throughout a lot of brown dead things. This brown death left holes in the different areas of the woods and fields. Then I heard the Lord say to me:

"This is how it is in My house. Many have died while trying to hang in while not being rooted. They thought that the entertainment and involvement in other activities would keep their attention, thereby keep them. They never did what was necessary to get rooted in Me, even though they were instructed by My leaders to soak in My Word and in My Presence, they lightly esteemed My directives. The words of their own mouths have destroyed most of their growth, because they have not lined up with My Words. Now they are still there but dying on the vine. I will come soon and cut away those dead branches for they are drawing the life away from the living. All that are alive in Me need every nutrient that I Am giving to sustain and move ahead. This season that is upon My children will require their undivided attention and their whole mind to be in unison with Me."

As I continued walking I was saw several beautiful white flowers with a little red center, they were growing free in the midst of weeds and tall grasses. Isn't it amazing to see God's hand in the great outdoors growing without our attention to watering, pruning, and cutting back? It reminded me of the verse about the lillies of the fields, they neither toil or spin. Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of them. Then the Lord spoke to me again:

"I have set aside ones that are growing unnoticed by men, great leaders for this season that My children are about to enter. Some of them have been rejected by men, because they did not fit into their plans. I have ordained these '"looked over" ones to gain ground in My house. They seem to be misfits to most, in My house as well, but I have grown them as John, out in the wilderness without the influence of men, they are untainted. They have sat at My feet and lived in My Presence that is why their ways are alien to the world and even peculiar to those in My house that have become stale and religious with their traditions and ceremonies."

"I have made them to be beautiful and at the same time they have become a sharp threshing instrument, cutting all that stands in the way. They will be multiplying in My house and will rise up and war on the behalf of the Kingdom, bringing many more who have been looking for where they belong. They will grow in favor with Me and with all mankind causing many to turn and see what I have done with the wild and beautiful. Just as the wildflower brings glory to the woods, so these wildflowers that I have planted will bring glory to the Kingdom. They are excited to be in My house and serve in My house. Their season is for a time in Me and nothing will stop their growth and their power to effect change to all they touch! As the flower begins to fade, they will be transformed and be rooted in Me as stable trees! Marvel at the work of My hands and the army I have raised.

"You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land. You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land." (Ps. 80:8-9)

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned for greater fruitfulness by the message I have given you." (John 15:1-3)

"Behold, I will make you to be a new, sharp, threshing instrument which has teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills like chaff." (Is. 41:15)

Good morning,

This is a word that was spoken to me in a time of prayer.

My dear little one, I know that you still do not understand the great love that I have for you. I love you!! There is so much more depth to those words when I say them, the enemy has done everything to degrade the power of My love by making My love seem so ordinary, it is beyond the comprehension of the world's mind. It can only be tapped into by My Spirit living in you. Everything that I have is yours. I do not love any one, more than I love you. You are special to Me. Do not judge My love for you by looking at the lives of anyone else. You can not see or know all that is going on in someone else's heart or lives. Nor do you know if all that you see is real, or just smoke and mirrors. I am requiring you to believe that I Am good to you and you will begin to experience the extreme kindness and the overwhelming goodness that is for you. I Am not an unfaithful lover, I Am extraordinarily generous to all who believe. Believe and decree My loving-kindness to you. I need you to step it up in this area of faith, so that you can move ahead of the famines, droughts, storms of fire, rain, wind, and dust all that is coming upon the earth, for the shifting in atmospheric conditions are unstable and unpredictable by men, but you will be fixed because you are loved. My love for you and your trust in that love will be an umbrella of protection against any and all things that come. You will decree in your life, that there is a supply no matter what, because of the faithful, steady love of your God. You will walk under the steady stream of the Kingdom and all that is of the Kingdom's. You, yes you! You are special, you are highly favored by Me. You are worth the love that was displayed by My death, burial, and resurrection. Do not accept the lies of the enemy. Don't look to others or expect others to know how to love you to the depth that I do. That is emotional lovers, based on how they feel. I Am constant, never changing. My desire for you is always, always the same. Take it to your heart that I want to do you good all the time. Decree it from your lips, "that I want to do you good at all times", and you will see the goodness drop down like sweet, thick honey all over your life. I Am Abba, your Father, your Daddy, and I am taking you up in My arms to cover you with My covering. I will keep you from falling into snares and pits of camouflage that was set up by imitation lovers. I Am going to overtake you with My goodness to you. Take My hand and I will cause you to rest in My love and provision from My good treasury. Expect to see My goodness to you!

"Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence. [What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord." (Ps. 27:12-14); " [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men." (Ps. 31;19) "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." (1 John 4:16)

Good morning,

"After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them: And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so. Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter." (Esther 2:1-7) Hadassah means myrtle; an evergreen shrub or small tree (Flowering and contains round berry fruit) the leaf has or fragrant essential oil. Remember we are God's garden. We are to be "evergreen" in God's preparation and destiny. Psalm 1:1-3; "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." This is just what Hadassah did and represents a tree bringing forth fruit in its season. Esther means a star, also fortune and felicity [ prosper]. Just like Esther, God is preparing us for greater things than we can ever see. We are stars in Him too. Everyone of us have been "brought to the Kingdom for such a time as this."

Continuing to read Esther 2 verses 12-17: "Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;) Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house. In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name. Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti." Favor means to be well-liked, acceptance, good-will shown toward another approval of one; leniency given and indulgence allowed. Grace is to delight and bring pleasure to; to adorn and dignify by an act of favor; to be generous to; a free gift given by one in authority; disposed to kindness. We have been given the same grace and favor as Esther. It surrounds you as you walk in your destiny and purpose. "For the Lord will bless the righteous, with favor will You compass him as with a shield." ( Ps. 5:12) "For the Lord God is a sun and a shield the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly." (Ps. 84;11) God planted Hadassah in the Godly house of Mordecai in preparation for the palace. Her steps were divinely ordered, just as yours are, they are not happenstance. We delight God just as Esther did, when we walk in line with His Word. You and I have been sent to the Kingdom for this time that we are in now, and God has selected us to represent Him now! "The steps of a good man are ordered (your steps are directed and established) by the Lord when He (God) delights in his way (God busies Himself with his every step)." (Ps. 37:23) Our God is all up in our affairs and we can count on His readiness to provide, for He has planned for us! All we need to do is to learn to wait on Him and follow, for He knows the way.

Love,

Good morning,

Here is a prophetic word that was sung at our church this past Sunday. Remember every prophectic word gives us a Word from God to "war" with in our lives. So, selah, pause and calmly think on it. Hear what the Spirit of the Lord says;

I'm about to take you in.

Many never see my glory, but I'm about to take you in.

Doors will seem like they're closing, but I'm about to open up a new and better way.

I Am the Lord your God and I know the way.

Many try to go their own way, but I know what doors are closing.

I know the ways that are open and even though it looks like the doors are closing, don't you dare give up, don't you dare quit.

For I Am on the horizon and opening up a new way, a greater plan, a greater day, a greater way and I'm opening it just for you.

I have seen your faith in the night season ,yeah, you never give up and you never quit even though others have left me.

You remain faithful and I can count on you. I count you as faith to me and I will do wonderful things for you.

I have said over and over again, I show myself strong on your behalf.

So get ready, and understand, that I have given you a clue, many doors will be closed to you.

They're not the doors that I want you to walk through but I'm about to open a door for you.

It will be broad and a high way and it will be the right one.

So don't try to push open any doors, let me show one greater than you ever perceive, greater than you ever thought, for I am the God of the end times and I'm setting my children up.

I'm setting my children up right in the right place, right at the right time.

So don't be discouraged if a door close in your face.

I'm about to open up a new one.

This is what I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying:

Many of you have tried to open up some doors by pushing and pressing. Those were not the doors that I opened for you but I'm about to open up doors that will be open up wide and see these are the doors for you, that I have enlarged so that you can proclaim my gospel, large so you can walk up and down in my glory. For the glory of God will rest upon you and many will see and know that I Am God. I'm placing you in a right place, in a strategic place for the season that is at hand. Many are lost and needing someone to show them the way. And you are that group and I have divinely inspired places for you and I'm about to bring and open those doors wide for you. You think that you're forgotten, you think that I have left you out. But I have not left you out, I'm bringing you to the forefront. I'm bypassing all others so that my glory might be seen in these last days so that I can un-strand the last remnant of those who would be saved. I'm working a plan and my plan is for the kingdom. So listen and follow Me saith the Lord and you will see that greater way, you will know that greater vision, you will know the glory of the Lord God in the midst of diversity. You will know Me like you've never known Me before.

"I know your [record of] works and what you are doing. See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name." (Rev. 3:8- Amplified)

"There is a right time for everything, and everything on earth will happen at the right time." (Eccles. 3:1 Easy To Read Version)

Love,

Pastor D.
