Good morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

No one can perceive all that I have prepared for those who wait on Me. As long as you have made Me your defense, there is nothing that can come against you, that I will not cause you to ride above all that is beneath Me. Everything is beneath Me, I Am above all things named. Understand that I Am always pursuing you, especially now. Guiding you safely to your Refuge. I Am faithfully bringing you to your promise-land, nothing can hinder you from it. Time will not change what I have already declared to be for you. The deceiver is busy tempting you to begin to look to other idol gods for your answers, to try another way. Do not allow the allure of the wicked one to make you waver. The Antichrist spirit is also in pursuit of My little ones. He wants your passion to be unbridled for things that will not satisfy nor bring joy. They are disguised as 'good things', but in the end they will bring death. Moments of temporary pleasures that begin to rot from the time that you begin to taste of it. I will promote, I will exalt, I will lift up the lowly, and the ones that have been made humble. Yet, those that others have looked down upon shall be the ones that shall be made mighty as Oaks. Standing strong, even as great evil arise from the north. Look to the north, yet be still, knowing I Am your Refuge and your Hiding Place. Build your fortress in Me, where torment and fear can not touch you.

Even though the spiritual battles are raging within, there I Am, your Peace. Know that I Am the same for the natural forces of battles. I Am your Peace. No need to entertain fear, I have already overcome all things, they are under My feet.

I have been at work to place you in My divine position for rare opportunities, in order that the Kingdom will be glorified. For in these times of testing you will see that you have begin to stretch your wings out farther, and with that has come deeper understanding of Me, your Father. You are beginning to see a little clearer, beyond the veil, drawing from beyond your own comprehension. Yes, you have begin to mature as sons of God. I have not despised your growing, for the steps were ordained, to get you to the large place. You see that I Am bigger than your 'religious' thoughts of Me. I Am uncontainable, I Am outside the realm of trying to be understood by the created. I have given to you My mind, so that you can begin to think higher thoughts. Finally now, My sons and daughters are in the divine position to go deeper. We, and the whole creation have been waiting for you to arise!

Love,

Pastor D.

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) Dream is to have visions and or images whether voluntary or involuntary, awake or asleep, it means to think or conceive of something. As we can see here in these verse that God is the One Who fulfills even our dreams, especially the ones that are divinely given. Quite often we struggle from the time of having a dream, and the waiting for our dreams to be fulfilled. This is the time that Yahweh will cause our divinely inspired dreams to be manifested. Freedom is the state of liberty rather than confinement or physical restraint; the power to determine action without restraint; openness and abandonment. God is opening up to us the freedom to dream again and to fully realize those dreams. Captivity means to be physically detained by force; to be constrained and confined; subjected to bondage. Every step that we walk with God, He is taking off the confinements that have been placed on our lives, so that we can be all that He has made us to be. All the while God is working out His plan to restore [fix, build up, heal, make restitution, revive, renew, set to rights, win back, reinforce] our fortunes. Those things that He always planned to be ours. It is more than material things, it includes relationships restored, physical and mental levels restored and strengthened. Every dream, every divine vision restored. Fortune is your inheritance; your portion; your treasure and worth. Our Father God is going to restore our worth, our portion, our inheritance, as the torrents [heavy flow, waterfall, gush, deluge, overflow, a flood]. So here we are reminded to believe again, this is where we must push to receive. "They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." ( Is. 65:23-24) Let's not faint before the harvest!

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. It is from February 2010. 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)

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 use 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,

Today the Father has prompted me to go back and share several prophetic words that were foresights almost a year ago, and warnings for us. Now it is like looking at headlines, 'spiritual' headlines of today. This one was from November 19, 2010. Selah, pause and calmly think on it!

The Spirit of the Lord says;

There is a storm that is coming, and the winds that will accompany this storm will have diverse affects. For those who have stood on My Word and refuse to compromise my Word, this storm will be used to blow you back on course. Many who have slipped or taken missteps will be rectified by the power of the winds that will issue forth. For those who have been hardhearted and stiff necked and would not obey Me, they will find My Word harder to accept and understand. Yet, I will still keep calling you back and wooing you, for My tender mercies and My longsuffering are in pursuit of the backslider. I desire you to come back and be faithful, to the True Lover. You have spent endless hours and days trying to make yourself happy. By now you should know that I Am the only real Joy. The great deceiver has spent energy and time to try and make you believe the lie that your happiness depends on others and outward circumstances.

Many who seek My face on a daily basis know the season and can perceive in their inner selves that they must redeem the time. They are walking with purpose and pursuing My will and having no part with the deeds of darkness. Truth, My Truth has been distorted by heresies and teachings that are only half truths. I Am raising up those who have My heart and I will give to them My voice. They will move in a new arena of signs and wonders, that will shake up the 'religious' world, yet these signs will come to approve My Word that was spoken. There will come a divide, because the enemy has come in secretly and sown tares in My field. I have allowed the tares to grow together with My wheat, so as not to destroy My wheat. I Am the husbandman of My field and My garden, and I Am about to call for the reapers to separate the two.

Let your ears be attentive to My voice and your eyes open to the changes that I Am doing on the inside of you, My garden. I have raised you up to be able to bring a fresh aroma to a world that is wafting in the midst of the smell of degradation and sin. I have placed rare and unique fruits and plants in My garden, you are one of these. You are not like everyone, don't try to be either. Those who attend to My Word are consistently washed and kept pure from the storm of destruction. I will blow and their strong aroma of faith and love will begin to change their course. So stay rooted and grounded and you will be gently directed to the course that I place you on. The winds will be strong enough to shift you onto the right path if you have halted between two opinions. Those whose choice is to walk in the name of the Lord of Hosts, then I will assemble the lame, and all those that have been afflicted by choosing righteousness. I will make the lame a remnant, and the afflicted and those who were rejected, will become a strong nation. Even now I Am turning your captivity, and I bring you acclaim, acknowledgment, and distinction in every territory where there was shame. This is Our hour to shine!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

Today I am reminded of how many of us have allowed the pruning, sifting, pressing, and the threshing that was necessary in order to push us forward into the place of reigning as sons of God in His authority. Many promises will be apprehended, that in times past slipped by us. Mainly because we have become more chiseled for our destiny, sharper as instruments in the loving hand of God for the Kingdom, during this time. We are loving God with our whole heart, mind, and soul. We are growing in the love of God for our brethren, those of the household of faith, and loving the lost and our enemies. Everyday we depart from evil and stay on the highway of the righteous. Praying, praising, and worshiping our Father, drawing closer to His heart. We are the generation that will seek the Father's face. Now, I know that there are a lot of things that are being cleaned out of the House of God, these things must happen. Things that were hidden are now being uncovered, but remember that the Father is longsuffering. He has patiently endured with those sins, while He gave each one time to do His Word and repent, and make the necessary changes. That is the greatest part of transitioning, it is yielding to the Father's hand through His Word, while you are going through the press. The Message Bible says it this way; "If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves. But when they attend to what He reveals they are most blessed." (Prov. 29:18) When we attend [wait upon; take care of; watch over; tend to;] what God has already revealed [uncovered; known; shown, unveiled,open and disclosed] then we will not stumble all over ourselves. So we have endured tests, trials, and difficulties in order for us to be molded and prepared for greater revelation and demonstrations of Holy Spirit. Through it all we have been made into more faithful and competent stewards of His glory. "Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O Lord and teach out of Your law. That you may give him the power to keep himself calm in the days of adversity until the inevitable pit of corruption is dug for the wicked. For the Lord will not cast off nor spurn His people neither will he abandon His heritage [us]. For justice will return to the (uncompromisingly) righteous and all the upright in heart will follow it." (Psalm 94:12-15)

So, let's read about what God has really been doing in our lives, to keep us from stumbling all over ourselves. "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) The Message Bible says it this way; "I'll go ahead of you, clearing and paving the road. I'll break down bronze city gates, smash padlocks, kick down barred entrances. I'll lead you to buried treasures, secret caches of valuables. Confirmations that it is I, in fact, I, God, the God of Israel that call you by name." Most of the things that we have gone through has been allowed to straighten out certain areas in our lives that were crooked [whether, finances, relationships, physical, mental, etc.]. Keeping us from attaining to the greatest potential that God set in our destiny. Some of the ways we thought, some of the activities that we were involved in, some of the people that were taking up some of God's time, these things had become mountains, doors of bronze, and bars of iron. This is similar to Jeremiah 1:10; "See, I have set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, [in order] to build, and to plant." Quite often when these things like pulling down and rooting out is going on we feel devastated by the actions. We tend to forget that Father is clearing the field, in order to build something that will not decay or be destroyed by any other hands. So be of good courage, God is up to something marvelous in our lives, building and planting for eternal values! Once these things are removed we will be able to see clearly the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places. Let's keep doing what we know to do that is right as we are being prepared for greater revelations!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Believe Me again! It is time for you to feed your faith. Many little foxes have tried to eat at the strong roots that have developed deep through times of intimacy with Me. The requirement is for you to stay in the heavenly places with Me, and not allow the things that are subject to change, to determine what is everlasting. Here is where you are home and where you can expect your fill of good things. I have walked with you through the valleys and I have held you up to see to it that you would not faint in times of adversity. I Am constantly lighting your way and opening up doors of hope in the midst. Training is what I have been doing, that you may be able to endure hardship as a soldier. As silver is refined and gold is purified, so I have brought you to a place where you must die and I must live mightily through you. I have marked you for My great presents and rewards. So, remember as you go through the fires of testing this will not harm you but make you stronger and more enduring.

I know that not only you, but the creation moans and groans as it travails to usher forth the mature sons of God. You, My beloved ones. You, are the ones We wait for. This earth is about to cough up more tribulations than can be handled at one time, because of sin that darkens it. Yet, in the very midst My people that have come through the fires of purification shall shine brighter. They will also have their minds illuminated as well, to be able to comprehend some secret things that I Am uncovering for them now. They are treasures that I have laid aside for this season. Nothing is new to Me. I Am not surprised by any turn of event in this world system, I prepared and made the way for My children to be the head. Do not fear any sudden news, whether truth or lies. I Am Jehovah! I know all things and because I Am you will lack no good thing. Believe! When everything wax old as a garment I remain the same. I Am your sufficiency. Once again I remind you that I am bringing forth what I have declared in My Word. For just as in that day that the new heavens and earth will stand firm forever, so you will stand firm forever. I Am on your side, and like a wildfire bursting forth and destroying everything in it's path, so I will destroy everything in your pathway that tries to stop you from reaching Our day. So stir up the fires that once burned bright and I will save you! No matter what, you are not ever forsaken but I Am making you My beautiful ones.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

The integrity of the upright man shall guide them, but the willful contrariness and crookedness of the treacherous shall destroy them. (Prov. 11:3) Here integrity means moral innocence; soundness that is unimpaired by anything; avoids deception of all kind honest with utter sincerity;undivided heart. Guide is to transport us [into the steps of God]; to lead us forth; to govern us and to straiten. That means that the person who is upright leans heavily on the Word directing his course of life. He realizes that his thoughts and feelings could be deceptive, so he depends on the Word to transport him into the ways of God. Because we all know that, "every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord pondereth the hearts." (Prov. 21:2) You know that you usually think that what you think and feel is right, and so does the other person. That is why we all need the guidance of the Holy Word and Holy Spirit, we need help. God pondereth [weighs and tries; test; measures out by weight or dimension; to arrange and level or equalizes; directs ans straightens] our heart. His Word helps to balance our thoughts with His. Otherwise we will find out that we are not as wise either when we think that we are always right. "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he that hearken to counsel is wise." (Prov. 12:15) Most of our lives we have to hearken to somebody's counsel, because surely someone has gone the road as a Christian that you are traveling and they who have made it without bitterness, and actually learned something and is applying it to their lives, can give you insight. Hearken not only means to listen to but it also mean to attend to; be all ears; become aware; pick up; strain and take for yourself. Of course the greatest counsel is the Word of God, but God has living oracles all around us speaking His Word, like yield signs on the highway of God. It is time to strain to pick up and take to ourselves every morsel of wise counsel that He gives. Quite often it will help us to avoid the longest journey to a straight path. There have been several times in my life that I have been on an unnecessary wilderness journey because I did not heed the counsel of the wise. But with age in Christ comes wisdom as you learn to stay yielded to His wisdom. "The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness." (Prov.16:31) The road to you become wiser is to stay humble and teachable, that is God's highway. "He guides us and directs us by his Words of wisdom. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding" (Prov.2:6) Look around you, and you know as well as I do that what is needed now, it is wisdom from God alone. It is what will cause us to be victorious no matter what comes against us. The mind Of God, the One who spoke the worlds into existence. He is constantly speaking let's be all ears and attend to His wisdom, then we will be people of integrity. Let's hearken to his counsel!

Good morning,

As we are on the road to our destiny, we encounter several tests. How much pride we have is the first to be tested, then comes our response to being thrown into a pit. The pit is usually a low place that our pride brings us to. We deal with the 'palace test', when we are elevated or things are coming up roses in our life. Usually this pushes us into the 'purity test', that is how well we deal with keeping ourselves free from any defilement or contamination once we are in the 'palace'. When we read the life of Joseph we can see every aspect of these tests that we all must pass on the way to our destiny. Many of us get stuck in a loop or a cycle in one or the other of the tests, because we will not submit to the Lord's guidance. After the purity test, when Joseph was thrown in the prison because he would not sleep with Potiphar's wife, he came into the 'prison test'. After doing what was right, not committing adultery, Joseph was put into a test of enduring prison. Have you ever felt like, you do right and suffer unjustly for it?^"For one is regarded favorably (is approved, acceptable, and thankworthy) if, as in the sight of God, he endures the pain of unjust suffering. [After all] what kind of glory [is there in it] if, when you do wrong and are punished for it, you take it patiently? But if you bear patiently with suffering [which results] when you do right and that is undeserved, it is acceptable and pleasing to God." (1 Peter 2:19-20) For Joseph as well as all of us, this 'prison test' is also a test of perseverance. But we must remember what is recorded when Joseph was in prison.^"And Joseph's master took him and put him in the prison, a place where the state prisoners were confined; so he was there in the prison. But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy and loving-kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison." God is with us and showing us His mercy and loving kindness and giving us favor, even in the prison. So when we choose to obey God's Word no matter what the consequences, even if the results look like the promises aren't true, God is still bringing His promise to you and your destiny to pass.

Joseph had a big destiny, but God was developing big character in him as well. We have the luxury of knowing the outcome when we read it as a story or history, but Joseph had to go through it and trust God. He had to walk by faith and not by sight. No matter what situation or circumstances came into his life, he had to lean his whole personality on God. One of the character traits that is necessary in order to receive the promises of God is that you must have perseverance and or be patient. "Let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us." (Heb. 12:1) "That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." (Heb.6:12) Patience is to be on slow boil; keeping our burner down during long test or trials or things that are of a long duration with joy (calm delight); waiting with contentment. Hmm, there is the character trait that must be developed, going through any test of life with joy, calm delight and contentment. Have you mastered that yet? Perseverance denotes fighting the battle with calm delight; continuing in a course of action without regard to opposition, time, or previous failure. That is most important too, having no regard to the time it will take or the type of opposition, and especially inspite of previous failures. We will be working on that until the Lord comes, but at least we are working towards it, right? We get back up after we fall and keep the course towards our destiny. We do not allow the 'accuser of the brethren' any place in our heart. So that even as you persevere the prison test, suffering unjustly, you will remember that God has already made us overcomers in this test too. Let's get out of the loop and move forward. "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.]"

Good morning,

Today in my time of intercession, the Lord was speaking to me tenderly yet with authority. I will share with you what was given to me.

Dear child, there are many things going on in your life to bring up the issues of your life that I Am purging and purifying you of. I know the the enemy has tried to bring you low by the multiplied troubles that you have encountered, but I Am using those things to lift you up to the highway of holiness that the mighty ones walk on. You will soon see with your own eyes that I keep My Word and it is not based upon the longevity of the trials. I Am beyond time, yet I will answer in your time. As long as you stay placed in My hand, I will not alter My plans for you. The financial upheaval of this world can not stop Me from being your supply. I have never run out of all that you need. I have always kept a ram in the bush for My children. You will be surprised at My provision for you! The storms that have blown gale force winds through your life may have seemed out of control, but I Am in control over everything that concerns you. I make the storms calm and deliver you from all distresses. Stand, for I turn the barren land into rivers and the dry ground into springs. I take the seeds you have sown in past fields and make a fruitful increase. I keep an account of all that you have done in My Name, and there is a great harvest of supply for you. Because you have remained yielded and flexible to My ways, even in the most strenuous times, you have a great recompense.

In this season when others became stagnant in their walk with me because of the debris that was blown on the path, you kept moving, deeper in Me. Sometimes it was slow and restrained, yet you pressed on. My Life in you is progressive, movement that gives purpose. I Am your Helper, the One that removes debris, that repairs all that was broken, and restores all that was taken. You have stayed in the flow of the divine, which has protected you from being overcome by weariness of body, frustration of soul, and disappointment of extended course. For in the days that the fig tree did not yield its blossom and fruit was not on the vine, you continued to rejoice. I know that many times through tears you sowed in your field. I said that those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. But I have set you up in order to send you to reap fields where you sowed no labor, others labored in advance for you. Many have abandoned their stations because of fear, yet around the corner, not yet seen by them was their victory. Do not quit, there is a breath-taking reward awaiting all that will stand. It does not matter what will happen in the "land of Egypt", I Am your Provider, Deliverer, and your Shepherd. I Am fitting you into My design and plan for good. You I have glorified and lifted above this world, by raising you up to sit with Me. Refuse to sit with the world, for then you will think and act like the world. I have a ram set aside for all who put their hands in Mines in complete trust!

Love,

Pastor D.
