Good morning,

"When the Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal]. Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad! Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the South (the Negeb) [are restored by the torrents]. They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing. He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping [at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing] shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." (Ps. 126:1-6; Amplified Bible) Can you see with the eyes of faith that the Lord has brought us to the very moment and days that we are in? So that He might show His mighty deliverance for us! All the tears and weeping over loss, tragedy, personal calamities, catastrophes, and the like has been allowed in order that we learn to yield more to God. So the spiritual stage is set for God to be magnified and to receive all the glory for the great things He will do. He has seen us with our seeds of faith, believing even through much weeping. We must keep our hearts and minds in the expectation mode for our harvest by rejoicing. Your tears of faith have watered the seeds of the Word, but a step we must also do by faith and not let our feelings dictate to us, is to rejoice even through tears.
So our harvest is coming, no matter what it looks like, as long as we keep our eyes on God, and watch the kind of seeds we sow. We must not become doubtful and a complainer. "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side!" (Ps. 56:8-9) Crying is not a problem as long as we don't act like people that have no hope or help. I like what the psalmist said, "this I know". Know means to perceive or understand as fact or truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty; to have established or fixed in the mind or memory. We must perceive and understand as truth and to clearly apprehend that God is really on our side. He has collected our tears and kept track of our sorrows, all that we have sown as we continue to walk in the Word and He will multiply them into a harvest. Our time has come right in the midst of despair for God loves to show Himself strong on our behalf by the most extraordinary exchange. You know what He likes to do, He gives us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness! (Isa. 61:1) We win, so let's hold our hands high and lift up our heads! Fresh new joy and a brand new song are to be heard from the people of God.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you. For I Am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." (Isa. 43:2-3) That is a promise that we need to take to heart at this time as we pass through the waters, knowing that Our God is faithful and that He will not let us down. I have been meditating on this verse and one similar in Isaiah 58:11; "And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. "God will not only be with us, but he will guide us through the tough times and satisfy us in the midst of drought. You know what it means to be guided by Him, right? Really, the truth is that we hate to give up the lead position to anyone in our lives, even when we say that God can lead, we hold on to the position tighter. Guide means a little bit more than just leading us, it indicates that He actually knows the way through the water, the fires, and the dry places. We should let God be the leader because he knows and created the course that we are to take. Guide is the one who leads or directs another in the way or course; to lead to a resting place or a watering station; a guide regulates, supervise and manages one towards the desirable end. Well we know that God said that our end was good in Jeremiah 29:11. God also promises to satisfy us while we are on our way to our expected end. Satisfy means to please, to gratify to the full, to fulfill, to have ones needs and or desires filled.
Now we are coming to the place where our waters fail not, our provision is continually supplied. It is not dependent on the outward circumstances nor the supply from this world. No, we are entering a season of a supernatural supply and resources that will not run dry. It is indicative of the times of the prophets of old. 1 Kings 17:11-16; "As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand. And she said, As the Lord your God lives, I have not a loaf baked but only a handful of meal in the jar and a little oil in the bottle. See, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it—and die. Elijah said to her, Fear not; go and do as you have said. But make me a little cake of [it] first and bring it to me, and afterward prepare some for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: The jar of meal shall not waste away or the bottle of oil fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth. She did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not spent nor did the bottle of oil fail, according to the word which the Lord spoke through Elijah." God provided for this widow, her family, and the prophet, through the drought and dry places by a supernatural source. Her supply was sustained. We serve the same God, He has not changed! He will be Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who sees and provides. We will have the opportunity to know Him in a greater capacity as our Jehovah Jireh. The verses in Isaiah show us that God will guide us through to our expected end through perils, adventures, caution, and comfort. He will see that we come through victoriously whole through our journey!

Good morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

There is coming an unusual distinction between those who are Mine and those who say they are Mine, and refuse to do My will. I will reward My faithful ones with abundant insight and unique ways of fulfilling the Word that I have given them. Many of My rewards are not in the realm of the earthly alone, I have many treasures that far outweigh anything of this world. My blueprints will be contrary to some of the plans you have made. I Am causing you to break the mold and move into originality My way. You have tried to do things, by following others who have blazed a path, I will allow that to a degree that you lean on Me and stay alert. Some have gone the path that I planned, and others have blazed their own and it has become monuments to the flesh and kingdoms of their own building. Many flock there, because it is "normal" to their own senses, it's familiar, but My heavenly blueprint is in My Word, which is not the familiar. Just stay close to My Word and you will see My plan for you is as unique as you are and you will be a blessing to the Body. You will complete what is needed to the field that I have placed you in. I know where you will grow to the fullest potential and carry out My purpose. When you get into a rut, it is usually because you have taken your eyes off of Me. My ways have been tried and they are perfected. I keep everything exciting and new, that is why My ways are past finding out! Stop trying to make your own path and trust me to lead you on the one that I have designed specifically for you.

Let go of the old way, the way of you trying to be the lead, instead lean yourself over on Me. Be very attentive to My Word and My will for that is what I Am watching over to bring to pass for you. For too long My children have not depended on Me, they are used to being the leader, that is why it is rare for them to be still and know. To follow My Word and get the highest results possible, is the reward of those who obey. The mind of reasoning is usually an enemy to you walking out My will for you. Now I have heard My children, and have seen them looking around with murmuring and complaining in their heart because they feel I Am inactive on their behalf. The truth is, I Am waiting for you to obey me, then you will see Me manifest my promises in your life. I Am placing in you during this season an ability to bring to completion things that you have walked away from that I placed you in. The ability to finish assignments that you thought were to hard will come a little easier as you come close to the end of this year. All of this, the difficulties, the testings was for you to know and understand that I have given you all power to overcome. Whatever you decree in the land, the sphere that I placed you in will be. It is not only for you to be a witness and a blessing, but that you would begin to know Me in a new dimension. For some it was to know and realize that I Am your Provider, for others, it was to know Me as their Healer, still others, it was to know Me as their Counselor and Friend, to know Me as you have never known Me before. There has been no easy outlet because I planted you there, for I will for you to know Me in a more intimate way. So, stand still and be still and you will experience for yourself the salvation and the glory of your God!

"Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word; let not any iniquity have dominion over me." (Ps. 119:133) "Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!" (Ps. 46:10): "Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you." (2 Chro. 20:17); "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." (Job 22:28)

Love,

Good morning,

Today my meditation is 1 Peter 3:12-14; "The Lord watches over those who do what is right, and he listens to their prayers. But he is against those who do evil. If you are always trying to do good, no one can really harm you. But you may suffer for doing right. If that happens, you have God's blessing. Don't be afraid of the people who make you suffer; don't be worried. But keep the Lord Christ holy in your hearts. Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you to explain about the hope you have." Are we always trying to do good? That is what we must keep doing, no matter what life hands us. It may appear that you are not coming out on top as you are the, "do- gooder", but God has our back. He promises that in Isaiah 58:8 "Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard." Notice that it is our right relationship with God that will conduct us to peace and prosperity. In the midst of doing right, God promises that we will have peace and prosperity.
The glory of the Lord is the rear guard for the ones who do the Word of God, that is what "doing good" is. Rear guard or rereward means to cover our back, to bring in the rear, to gather and take in. Glory carries the idea of honor, dignity, abundance, riches, reputation, splendor, and reverence. For doing right, I will be covered, God has my back from anyone or any circumstance I may go through, but He will conduct me to peace and prosperity. Just think on it, God's honor, dignity, riches, and His reputation will follow me. That's a great covering. We are bound to be victorious as long as we do right, we are being watched over. So, "does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help." (Psa. 34:12-15)

Remember that's good news, after all that is the Gospel. You no longer have to scheme and connive or manipulate to get your way, or to do good to yourself. It is hard work trying to get your plans to work out, plus God is against those who do evil, and He can't be manipulated. While you are just doing the Word, not looking to take care of you, God is watching over you to prosper you!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

You have come to your personal burning bush, where My glory abides and My grace and ability to carry you all the way through to victory. It is also the place where you must accept your destiny without ever looking back. Even though there will be many challenges, even as My servant Moses faced many obstacles, yet overcame them all. He did not let any temptations hinder him from walking out his purpose. He carried out My purpose and plan, so much so that I called him the humblest man ever, and I called him My friend. He settled it once and for all as he looked into the burning bush and all that he saw was able to hold his gaze and his devotion throughout his ministry. He would not quit even though opportunity after opportunity presented itself. He remained faithful to Me, as I was faithful to him. Now it is your turn to look, gaze, and behold My glory. You will see that this same power and ability is yours. Time for you to go through the many tests that bring you to destiny, and not let any obstacle hinder you. It is an uncompromising way. When you say, "I will not look back or quit", then you will quit looking back and let My Word and Presence carry you through, being totally devoted to My plan.

Even as the upheaval of the natural world continues to run parallel with the spiritual realm, you can be settled, by being fully persuaded. It is My handiwork that is being done, I am removing some things while restoring others. This is a season that must come before the time of My coming. Purification of all that has been defiling My own. Your thoughts have been taking up a place as an idol in your life, they must be cleansed! Thoughts like worry, fear, anxiety, and your time and attention are focused on so many things and other lovers. Everything is shifting for your good, to remove all that you have been leaning on and trusting in other than Me. I have allowed many things to go on, and it was not because I was pleased nor was it because I didn't care, but I was allowing the wheat and the tare to grow together. Because as it continues to grow it becomes clear which is wheat and which is tare. This is not only on the level of the Body of Christ, but also what is going on in the inside of you. I Am searching through you as well as My Body, to straighten out every crooked place in you as well as in My Body, My Church. I am coming for My Church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. Washing and agitation is taking place to bring all who will go through the process for wholeness. I Am doing this to redeem and to deliver you, My precious ones. I will sustain and preserve My own at this time and you will know Me, better than you thought possible. I Am making Myself known in a revealing way, to all who keep pressing inspite of all that looms around them. As usual I Am giving you time to turn again to Me with your whole heart!

"But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it. Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary." (Mtt. 13:29-30)
"So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless]." (Ephes. 526-27)

"I will go before you and level the mountains [to make the crooked places straight]; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron. And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls you by your name." (Is. 45:2-3)

Good morning,

I Am taking all that have been wounded during this great time of testing and making them whole. Though the storms of life are still raging, those who want more are being drawn in to Me, while pulling away from all of their familiar comforters. My grace will be sufficient for you to establish a perimeter of holiness. You will see that many are preferring their way over Mine, but you will never walk alone, for holiness will produce wholeness in you. I have, and will always have a holy remnant of believers that refuse to bow their knees to the comfort and compromise of being accepted by others. For when the upheaval comes in this day, and more is coming, they will look for the ones that have remained faithful to Me and My Word. There will be more shifting in order to do more sifting, in order for Me to have a bride without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. She must be strong, pure, separate, yet fully ready to work in My fields. The upheaval and shifting will occur in every realm and sphere known and unknown to man. You, who are founded on the Rock, will not be moved, taken off guard, or ignorant concerning these things, for if you have been in tune with Holy Spirit, He has made known to you the times and the season that you are in.

I do hear My bride saying daily with a great longing to rid herself of the pain of this world and the longing to be with Me, "Come My King, return My Lord!" I have aroused Myself for I yearn also for you to be with Me. Do not let those who love this world place shame on you for desiring Me more than the temporary and fleeting pleasures. You were made for Me! Know that this is the time when My bride, the Church is being gathered into the palace of her King, separated for the purpose of purification for the selection of the few. You set yourself aside by the choice of desiring Me and the Kingdom above the kingdoms of this world.

I Am now bringing My Church back into alignment with My will so that the former and the latter rain of My glory can rest upon you and bring great restoration of your callings, purposes, destinies, and giftings. There have been a lot that the enemy has tried to snatch from your heart during this season, some have resisted and others have surrendered. Some of My children have become slow and lethargic, not quick and clear of mind, letting things go that they should have fought for and not released. I Am now giving the opportunity to pick up the baton, along with all that was lost, and run again. In this leg of the race you must not look around to see if your familiar companions are running too, for some have laid down. Yet I have given everyone a "Jonathan" that will stay until the end. I have placed a "butler" that will open doors for you and I have given Aaron and Hur that will hold your hands while you carry out My plan. Know that I will never leave you alone, I will set you on high, because you have known Me and My name. You have stayed faithful and I remain Faithful. Your roots have grown strong and deep, that is why you will not be moved!

"Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do." (Psalm 1:1-3); "He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved." (Psalm 62:2) "So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless]. (Eph. 5:26-27)

Good morning,

"The words of the wise are like prodding goads, and firmly fixed [in the mind] like nails are the collected sayings which are given [as proceeding] from one Shepherd. But about going further [than the words given by one Shepherd], my son, be warned. Of making many books there is no end [so do not believe everything you read], and much study is a weariness of the flesh. All has been heard; the end of the matter is: Fear God [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is] and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man [the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God’s providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun] and the whole [duty] for every man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil." (Jer. 12:11-14) This is something that we sometimes tend to do as believers, read too many books on improving our selves and too many dvd's on too many teachings. Simplifying our lives would be the best thing for us to do. I am of the mindset that if I could do some of the Word, and do it good and work on perfecting my walk in the Word of God, that would be time enough for me. How about you? I mean, every time that we get together and fellowship as a body of believers we are building on to our foundation and growing up. I am just trying to get the heart and mind of Christ, thereby changing the mind that I have. I am becoming free of entanglements so that I can fly. Eagles can't soar if they are heavily weighed down, and we are eagles or eaglets, depending on our growth. Let's try and learn the Word of God, if it is not in the Word then it really isn't eternal, it is a temporal thing. I am working on fearing God and living a life that worships Him and I know that as I do this, He is working in me to bring the changes that is necessary to adjust my life to His will. Of course I work with Him as His Word reveals to me the ways that I need to comply, bend, or yield too. It is simply a choice to do what He says then stay in His Word and Presence and I will follow His steps, out of sheer love, admiration, and fear or reverence for Him. Remember Hebrews 12:1-2; "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne." Weight means whatever is prominent, protuberance, bulk, mass; hence a burden, weight, encumbrance. A weight could be anything that is slowing us down, our attitudes, our emotions, people that makes us stumble, too much studying and not enough doing the Word, over-complicating our walk with God, keeping our focus on others, the list is endless of the weights that could slow us down.

You can't run and look around at others, you can't fly and carry others. That's why we are told to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. That is Philippians 2:12, the amplified version reads this way; "Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ." Isn't that enough to do without adding more to our growing. We have to lean our entire personality on God's Word and not trust in our selves and our wit, insight, or our wisdom. God's Word has got to be the final say so for you and I, or else we will be found leaning to our own understanding. You remember where that got us right, needing a Savior? Let's simplify and do the Word we know!"

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

All of those that have remained planted in Me are experiencing a deeper attachment of the roots. You will begin to see growth in yourself that you did not think that you would ever see. You will bloom into that great tree where many will come to for the shade and food to sustain and aid them. Many of you out of desperation have latched onto Me and have found a revelation of your God as Father and Lover of your soul. Again, you are reminded that everything that you have endured have been for your growing. I have allowed you to be tested and tried for I knew that you were going to come forth stronger and more committed and dedicated to Me and to the destiny that I have ordained. You are like David who was on the backside of the desert, where it looked like no one saw his potential, value, or destiny. Yet, when the time was right I called him from the place of obscurity and anointed him afresh and anew. Still none could see the worth of him, but I was just bringing him out, so that I could take him to his starting place, to propel him. I set him up in the sight of man, so that all could see his unusual faith and trust in Me. He was able to defeat the giant in his way, and establish My presence in the midst of My people who had lost sight of Who I Am. Today I have been raising you as a strong tree on the backside of the desert, unknown to man, yet fully known to Me. I have allowed you to grow in your trust and faith in Who I Am to you. You will step up to the line, fully prepared to defeat the giant in your land before your people, causing them to know that I Am God. They will see and know that I Am your God and many will come to you, because I Am lifted high by you. Your life and your voice will cause many of my children who have lost sight of Who I Am to renew their love.

There is now an Esther anointing upon many of My children. You have been brought to the kingdom for such a time as this, to bring to lost and dying world deliverance and enlargement to My people. You humbled yourself and stayed in the place of preparation. You never tried to get ahead or out of line. You have been one that kept the peace, but now it is brought to your door. The boldness of your God is rising up in you to declare the Kingdom and speak of the glories of your Father. You will cry loud and not spare for you recognize that it is imperative to herald. The spirit of John the Baptist has risen to cry, "prepare the way of the Lord". Just as there were many who came seeking to be cleaned, there will be many that will come as My children arise from the places of slumber, preparation, and testing, and flow together as a mighty river. Yes, awakening for the time is at hand! This is not the time to go back to the things that once held your attention and gaze, no, you can not go back to the old way of business. For many have said, "it has been a long time since I said I would return." Remember I Am not slack concerning My promise, I Am longsuffering allowing as many as would to come to repentance. Stay the steady path that I set before you and do not veer off course. I will come to all that are looking for My appearance. Stay prepared and ready for your set time!

"For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14)

"The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance." (2 Peter 2:9)

Good morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Out of chaos, I Am bringing great peace. As in the beginning the world was full of chaos and I spoke peace into it. I spoke light into darkness, I spoke creativity to disorder. I Am doing the same thing now in your life. I Am speaking and declaring peace to all circumstances in your life. You have come this far by trusting and believing in me and My Word. I Am still the same Lord, I change not! Not one thing changes in Me, for I and My Word are constant, We remain the same. You can always depend on Me staying consistent.

In your life I have already dispatched war-faring angels, that are commissioned to walk with you on the right and the left, you are covered. They will deflect and cast off every hindrance and obstacles seen and unseen by you. All that you need to do is, "say what I say" about yourself and the steps that I have ordained. Remember there is nothing that takes me by chance, I Am, was, and will always be all-knowing. Listen carefully and you will hear the deep in Me calling forth the deep in you. You will hear Me in your times of worship, in your day to day lives, you will be more aware of the heavenly help. Your angels have received divine instructions to carry out all orders to bring you into the divine success. You will not fail as you march with the orders for your assignment. As you are marching, you will sing songs of thanksgiving. All murmuring and complaining will cease, for now you are seeing and understanding your assignment. Your thanksgiving will cause comfort to come to the areas that have been laid waste, I will cause the desert, dry, and unproductive places to be the fruitful fields. Many will look on and know that you serve the One True God. Your productive and fruitful life as well as your voice of constant gratitude to Me will be the greatest witness. As you offer thanksgiving, I will joyfully bring in the harvest of family souls. All those of your household will come and great joy and rejoicing shall be heard from My House! Those who refused you before shall humble themselves and come to My House and the living stones, you My children!

"And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them." (Jer. 30:19-20)
"For the Lord will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places. And He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song or instrument of praise." (Is. 51:3)

Good morning,

Wednesday night after our evening church service, I was still meditating on our prayer. It was a spontaneous unified cry from our spirits prompted by precious Holy Spirit. The Lord spoke to me as I meditated.

I hear My Church crying for My return, their hearts longing for My rule and My reign. The time where peace is the order of the day and love is true and felt. I hear My children crying to be lifted up in their Father's arms, to know the safe haven of home. I hear My bride crying to be swept up and swept away. Yes, now the whole creation is in travail for the culmination of My promise. I hear and I Am attending to your cries. As you are coming to an end, you are stepping over into the new, a time that I have longed for, a day of restoration not of things, but of you. I have always been on a course to straighten out the crooked places in you. You will open your eyes from the clouds of distractions and see who you really are. This time all fear will be gone and some of you who have been hindered by the crooked place of fear will no longer be hemmed in. You will place your hand in Mine and trust that I know exactly how to accomplish even the most difficult task that I have called you to do. As you take the step the supply will be abundantly given. It will be a time of taking the five loaves and two fishes, multiplication at the prayers that are offered. Ask of me in that simple faith, I will hear that cry as well. You will do as is written of My children, and We will be as one, that is why before the words are formed in your mouth I will have sent the answer. This is the time that we have long awaited, the maturing of the sons and daughters of God. Now comes the entrance of the true heirs of the Kingdom. Boldness to sweep the land that I have given to you, no longer ashamed to offer the Kingdom to all, the rich, the poor, the young, the old, male and female, the cry will be heard to every nation. Loud and strong as you join Me to snatch souls from hell's fire. You just know that the time is close, that it is high time to wake from the slumber. Cry loud, the night is far spent, the day is at hand. Go, My messengers, go My witnesses, I have set you free to spread and proclaim. You must go as one that is on fire, you must go as one that blows with the force of the wind. I am calling all to lay aside the plans of self gratification, and place the Kingdom call above all. I Am calling My faithful ambassadors to rise, I will provide all that is needed. Do not be concerned about what you will say, I will fill you! All will bubble up as springs of living waters from the deep well of salvation, that comes from the quiet times spent with me in the hiding place. There are many that are waiting for the words of life that you carry. I Am sending you to the fields that are ripe to harvest. The fields are your jobs, in your neighborhoods, in your family, and some are in places that bear My name. They are ready! This is the day where the plowman will overtake the reaper.

Yes, the lost are crying too. I hear their voices as well, crying to know the true and living God. You are My laborers, working in the vineyard. Stay close and listen, listen and obey. You will be a life-giver and I will enlarge your steps so that you will not slip. So keep your eyes on Me, and don't be amazed at all that has happened it is all for your perfection, to prepare you for My greater glory. Great will be your peace in the midst of great trouble, because you will be kept from the wicked one.

"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt." (Amos 9:13); "Like the cold of snow [brought from the mountains] in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the life of his masters." (Pro. 25:13); "Do you not say, It is still four months until harvest time comes? Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields and see how they are already white for harvesting." (John 4:35); "Beloved, do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality, as though something strange (unusual and alien to you and your position) were befalling you. But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, so that when His glory [full of radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may also rejoice with triumph [exultantly]." (1 Peter 4:12-13)
