Good Morning,

Last time we were together I told you about the two prophetic words that I was told to meditate upon and get into my heart. I know that as believers we can receive a fresh manna word from the Father and then put it in the back of our minds. We all want to hear God speaking, but we fail to understand that God never wastes His Words. He is not going to keep speaking when we refuse to obey. He certainly will not give us new directions when we are not obeying the old ones. Yet, He really does want us to come up higher by hearing His wisdom and insight, but we must do what we hear. Remember the Scripture says; "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land." (Is.1:19) Willing means to be inclined; cheerfully consenting or ready. Obedient means to hear with attention or interest in order to yield to, to comply and follow the commands. So here is the next prophetic word from times past that we received that we must follow and comply with. God remains the same!!

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

I know that you are going through a tough transition, yet I have not forsaken you. This will open up for you a large place, a place where you will begin to trust and lean on Me like never before. As you have shifted, you may think that you have lost loved ones, positions, careers, and even ministries. It is not over, I Am working on something for you. I have always had a good plan for you, and it is My plan that will prevail. I have seen the tears and the heartaches, the times of feeling rejected, or cast away. You were never rejected by Me, no, never. I have waited for you to turn all of your affections and desires to Me. I will be all that you need, but you must renew your love for Me. I will fulfill the longings of your heart and heal your brokenness. I will give you a heart that thinks like Me. You will then see that you have not really lost anything, instead that you have gained more ground in Me. As you begin to shake yourself free from the cares of this world, you will awake to see the new light that has arisen over the obscure places that you have tread upon. I will send men to help you and send you help from on high.

Distractions of this age have tried to occupy my children's thoughts. They are led astray by their thoughts. I have given you a sound mind, but you must keep your mind stayed on Me in order to keep it sound. Many are falling away from Me, because they no longer spend the quiet moments with Me in worship. They are careful and busy about many things, so that from dawn until night their thoughts are not towards me. It is My peace that I have given to you in the past that guards your thoughts and your emotions. I say to you, to be concerned about your true Love. I Am the One. Too many lovers make you an unfaithful lover. When was the last time that I was the only One on your mind? I Am a jealous lover, I will not have any other love before Me. Come back to Me with the simple believing love that you once had, and I will receive you to Myself and restore to you the joy that you had in serving Me. If not you will miss My next move, you will not be able to see, for your other lovers will detain you and keep your eyes covered. You must come to Me again as a virgin lover. Depend on Me, I Am trustworthy.

Love,

Good Morning,

For about a month I have resisted a spirit of discouragement and it felt like a blanket of grief, almost like experiencing sorrow over a death. Holy Spirit hovered over me and continued to encourage me. God spoke to me to go back and read and meditate on several prophetic words that He spoke to us as a warning and foretelling so that we would not fall into the trap that the enemy set for us. And voila, there I was being ensnared even after being forewarned! I hope that you were wiser than me, but if we are similar then you will enjoy seeing how far ahead of us God, our Father truly is. Most of all, how He tries to help us avoid the snares and the pitfalls of the enemy. I will share the prophetic words from two different times and teachings from this season. This one is from September 17, 2010. Please meditate on this and see how fresh and pertinent it is to where you are!

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

In My House there is coming a necessary change, for awhile there has been indifference towards My Word. I have heard the cries of My children for holiness and purity to flood My House. Conversion will happen in My House, it will come from longing hearts. Many have fallen into spiritual apathy in My House and I do see and recognize, it is because they have put their eyes and their faith in their spiritual leaders. Yet, I have said in My Word to follow those who follow Christ. This is the time that My holy remnant will arise and shake this world for a great awakening to Me and My Word. A fresh new zeal will blow in My House for those who have withstood the pleas of this false church to have an adulterous relationship with it. Zeal to speak My truth, zeal to seek and save the lost, zeal to stand against the false gods of this world's system. I Am awakening the last day anointing upon the remnants of My prophets, teachers, apostles, pastors and evangelists. For I have some who have not bowed to the god of this world's system and the evil that has darkened the gaze of the eyes of many that once ran true for Me. It is not how you start the race, but how you finish the course. The spirit that antagonizes My unknown end time warriors has been cast down, by them. Fear will no longer keep them from rising up and declaring truth, my righteous ones are bolder now than ever before. All that will come at this time will no longer play the harlot. All the other lovers will begin to abandon them, and loyalty to Me will be the top thing in their hearts. As the world of darkness goes into a spiral of wickedness, that has spun its tail into My House, My warriors will come forth unashamedly to defend My truth. I will anoint them at this time to do amazing things that will cause many who see to leave their gods and turn to Me, the One and only true God. Households that have been in crooked disrepair will be touched by one who will walk in the fullness of My Word. Churches that were at the brink of disaster, only because men would rather believe a lie rather than truth, will see that I have not forgotten their faithfulness to Me. I will visit them afresh and anew and revivals will begin to burst forth like fire in a dry and desert land. They have kept the flames burning even in the midst of great persecution. I will start in the small places, to make My name known among men once again, and they will know that it was not by their power, or their might, or their wisdom, all glory and honor will belong to Me. Telling all that I, the Lord, once again Am walking through the House where I Am truly honored and revered. Look and see, I Am still working My Word in the midst of all who believe and obey Me! I will be honored in My House! Many other houses that still bear My name will began to self-destruct because of the deception that flows from the lips of men, that they have revered more than Me. Many have made an addendum to My Word and placed clauses and changed My Word to accommodate their sins. These places will become more obvious that they stand for nothing, places where many have slid back from their once great love for Me. Now, because they have beguiled and led astray many by enticing words of men wisdom, many souls have left their first love and sold their birthright for a porridge of flesh. I stand and shout to them. Come back now, while the way is still available. For you My faithful remnant, stay ready for the help I Am sending to you now!

Love,

Good Morning,

"Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal). For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity)." (James 3:13-17) True humility has an attitude, it is unobtrusive humility. Unobtrusive means not to impose, not being forceful, forward, or aggressive. Humble denotes being modest, not proud or arrogant. Attitude is our manner or disposition regarding a person or thing. So simply put, our manner regarding the wisdom that we have from God, must be gentle, not forceful towards sharing what we have from God with others. We can't have an attitude of pride of knowing what you have, your part of the many-sided wisdom of God. If anything that you have received from God has an attitude of jealousy, rivalry or selfish ambition, it is not true wisdom. That wisdom is earthly, sensual, and demonic. Human nature carries the desire to receive praise, admiration, and commendation. We all want to be approved and accepted for being unique or great. Quite often we forget that God has already given each of us His approval and acceptance. That is the highest praise. We must learn God's way of wisdom, otherwise you will never truly come to the place that you are content with the 'you' that God has made you to be. Where we value every part of the many-sided wisdom of God. "And those [parts] of the body which we consider rather ignoble are [the very parts] which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum), Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack [apparent importance], So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation [of the parts of the body to each other], but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another". (1 Corin. 12:23-25) Everyone in the Body is important, everything you do in the Kingdom is a needed and high ranking call. Everything, and, everyone, is valued highly by God. Yet, we must adapt our attitudes when it comes to sharing the wisdom that we have. God's wisdom is first, pure [free from all that would contaminate, like jealousy, rivalry, and selfish ambition]. Next, God's wisdom is peaceable [brings peace, harmony, safety, and prosperity; doesn't wreak havoc]. It is gentle [kind, fair, and equitable]. Easy to be entreated, simply means no one has to beg for the wisdom that you have, they only need to ask. Wisdom is offered with mercy and compassion and it is always bearing good fruit. To receive it you can be any part of the Body that ask for the wisdom from another part of the Body of Christ, and you don't have to jump through hoops to get it. Just like the Father Who said, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
So whatever wisdom or insight that you may have, remember; 'freely you have received. Freely give!" Now go and grow the Body of Christ with His wisdom that He has given you.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Pay attention, open your ears and your eyes. You are My servants and you are not truly listening, and you are My messengers and you are not looking. You have looked at a lot but you have not seen, you have heard everything, but not really listened to much. I have always intended for you to walk in My lavish revelation, pay attention to what is coming. For I have told you once and again, to forget what has happened in the past, but to stay alert to your present and future. I Am making a road in the desert and a highway in the wilderness to continue My goodness to all that would pay attention. I have always announced to you what's coming. Is there anyone who compares with Me? Do not be afraid for I will continue to inform My children of what I Am doing, I have not changed. The secret, fenced in and hidden new things I will reveal to those who come close to Me for the pleasure of knowing Me. I will lavish true worshipers with answers and revelations. I work out in the open, setting things right as well as speaking right. I see your heart and will cause you not only to look, but see, and to listen, and come away hearing. Then everything that I want, you will do. I will carve out the path and straighten the crooked ways. The fenced in and hidden things once revealed will open wide the road to your destiny. I Am incomparable, and so is My plan for you, if you will not reduce Me in your heart. True intimacy in your heart will bring you to purity which will uncover the hidden things. The winds have changed so be wise and adjust your sails that you may go farther.

I Am expecting My children to do just what I say. No more building whitewash walls, no more appeasing the flesh, preaching and teaching only what tickles the ear. People are dying as they wait for My children to rise from those self-centered whitewashed walls. Those who tell My people that all is well and it is not. Using their own words to trap innocent souls, and crafty words to make their own selves rich. Trapping and hunting souls with all manner of man-made devices, not for the saving of the souls, but to add a notch to their buildings. Profaning My children in order to get ahead. Confusing My children by preaching unstable and imbalanced messages that have made it easy for people to persist in their sins. This is My Word to My messengers as well as to My children, draw near to Me in My Word there you will find that I have never changed, and neither will I ever change, for I Am most dependable. Repent and turn back to My way. My Voice is reliable and I never whitewash. I Am truth! I will rescue My children from delusions and lies. I will clear away the cobwebs in your mind and heart that you will begin to once again hear and respond with clarity. You, My child will come forth victorious once again. I Am sending those who will say what I say and no more.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

"Also to enlighten all men and make plain to them what is the plan [regarding the Gentiles and providing for the salvation of all men] of the mystery kept hidden through the ages and concealed until now in [the mind of] God Who created all things by Christ Jesus. [The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere. This is in accordance with the terms of the eternal and timeless purpose which He has realized and carried into effect in [the person of] Christ Jesus our Lord." (Ephes. 3:9-11) We are a part of the complicated, many sided wisdom of God, each one of us bring to the 'body of Christ', a part of the wisdom of God. Wisdom means knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; discernment. I like that the Amplified Bible says that the wisdom of God is many-sided, which offers to our finite mind an understanding that God has more than one or two ways to get something to us. He can also use the many-sided 'body of Christ' to meet the need for this wisdom to be displayed or put into action. The fact that His wisdom can be complicated as well as given to us simply, shows that we need to make ourselves available to hear this wisdom. Complicated is to be composed of elaborately interconnected parts; complex or difficult to analyze. We realize that we need this kind of in-depth wisdom, well it is ours just for the asking. "If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him". (James 1:5) Heaven is calling us to walk in this complicated many-sided wisdom in the approaching days. This means we must ask to fill the void of our deficiency in wisdom, but that we must learn to depend and accept the part of this wisdom that the other members of the 'body of Christ has'. Because this wisdom is elaborate and complex. Yet, we must still exercising some God-like discernment as well, where we know when it is God's part that is being given and not the world's wisdom [there is a difference, we will see it in the next verse]. The rest of this wisdom is the infinite variety and innumerable aspects. Infinite variety means indefinitely or exceedingly great diversified and different, unlimited or unmeasurable and unique. Innumerable is countless and very numerous in its nature, quality or character. This definition describes God's wisdom, as well as the part that we have that we bring to the 'body of Christ'. Each one of us are different, all of us bear numerous natures, quality, and character. Even when we are under the direction of Holy Spirit, we each have a unique part of God's wisdom that He gives to each one to participate in building up the Church.

Finally, since we are part of God's great heavenly wisdom, we must maintain a pure heart. That will affect the wisdom and how it is received. Now let's read and meditate on how to keep a pure heart as we learn how to share and impart the wisdom, that part that we have.^"Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal). For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices [this is the world's wisdom that we spoke of earlier]. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity)".( James 3:13-17) Next week we will talk about how to be unobtrusive and humble with your piece of God's many-sided wisdom. The whole earth is waiting for the mature sons of God to be revealed. This wisdom comes from heaven so it is much higher than anything earthly and will elevate the Kingdom and those of the Kingdom, us. It's our time to grow up in our love walk while exercising pure wisdom in order to fulfil our purpose, being the extraordinary children of God. It's our time to shine!

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

My people have been in a critical time of high planning for the Kingdom. The enemy has spent a considerable amount of time attempting to steal from My children their gifts and callings. He has been using the undesirable circumstances, testings, and trials that you have endured, to distract you from the prize. I have warned and spoken times before, not to become distracted, for he has tried to sideline you and dry you out from the great anointing that will carry you through and bring you out. He is a thief and he wants to steal from you your identity, who I have made you to be. Just think how he has used multiple trials to distract you from a time of greater preparations to be able to possess your future destiny. Do not allow your overtaxed thoughts to make you leave the track that I have placed you on. This confused thinking causes you to feel overwhelmed which brings you to a place of wrong choices and others to a place of complacency.

Right now I Am saying to stir up your giftings and callings that I have placed within you. You will experience a freshness as I reinforce your assignments. Assignments have been abandoned, and I Am reviving within you a will to do them now. I have used this time to wisely cut and sever from your life many weights that held you down. Now you will rise and soar to the high places in Me, I have taken this time to streamline you to make your race easier to run. Now for the next six months you will encounter the grace of heaven kissing your life; My ability over and upon you inability. I will open the floodgates to flow into the dry and barren areas of your land and produce abundantly. As the rivers and springs open up, remember it is not so that you can lavish this only upon your desires, no, it is in preparation for the days ahead, and to keep the Kingdom established. Ask for wisdom as you begin to abound in blessings, it will be for the triune. Your spirit, soul, and body will be exposed to an alertness and a renewal for the Kingdom in a higher way. I will also pour like rain strategies so that you may know how to appropriate the blessing and keep them producing. Nothing will be stale! I Am Jehovah- Jireh, I see ahead and plan ahead, as I provide ahead. I have stored up water for those who have seen dryness, and I will nourish your land back to health and supersede your imagination. I have not forgotten one seed of love that you have sown in My name. This will be your pressed down, shaken together, and running over season. Be wise and understanding even as My servant Joseph was. Blessed even in the time of famine.

Good Morning,

We can read most anywhere in the Scriptures and see that God is faithful. He will build us up and support us, He is firm and permanent in His love and certain and sure. We can depend on Him, but can He depend on us? Are we steadfast and faithful? Are we true to our word, promises, and vows? Are we steady in our allegiance and affection? We must be faithful to God just as He is faithful to us. After all we are in a covenant. Listen to the Psalmists allegiance to God; "I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments". (Ps. 119:102-106) That is being faithful, not to depart from keeping the Word of God and performing the Word and his word. Perform simply means to fulfill, to confirm, to maintain, and to fix. The Psalmist has determined to fulfill God's Word in His life. We all want and need God to fulfill His Word or promise to us, yet are we determined to fulfill our part of the covenant? We saw that God will do what He has promised, (Is. 55:10-12). Jeremiah 1:12 says, "I will hasten My word to perform it." We all want to hear what God has promised to do for us, but usually we don't spend quality time on our part of the covenant. "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister." If we continue in the faith grounded and settled; If means, on condition that; in the event that; supposing, allowing, conceding, or granting. A little word with a big meaning, if we stay grounded and settled. Grounded is to lay the foundation; to make stable, establish. Settled means to be firm, immovable, and steadfast.

We should be built on the sure foundation, which is Jesus Christ. We must be cautious to only place on this foundation more of what God's Word says and not man-made traditions, or religious notions, or popular cliches. "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is".
(1 Corin. 3:10-13) One of the most important parts of the covenant for us to keep is to stay grounded and settled on the 'Sure Foundation', which is Christ. We can not be moved away because of 'things' going on in our lives. Let's be as faithful to the Lord as He is to us, let's perform our promise to love and obey Him. "I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end". (Ps. 119:112)

Good Morning,

"We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety." (2 Corin. 1:8-11) As you read this verse you can see that the early saints were going through tough and difficult times. How relevant is the Word of God for us today? It is like reading today's headlines. During the trials and tests they learned to rely on God and to stop putting their trust in their abilities and strength. Maybe, the Lord is bringing us to that place of relying only on Him. Rely is to hold and cleave to; to have confidence and a feeling of security, to expect with certainty; to lean and rest upon. Are you confident that God will rescue, deliver, save, and restore you and do whatever is necessary to bring you out? "And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you." (Phil. 1:6)

Our Father is not going to stop or quit until He completes the work that He started, so we must not quit. Completion means to bring to fruition; to accomplish; to finish; to carry out in action; to bring to the intended or final condition or perfected state. God is bringing us to a perfected state, we are maturing, growing in Him. We can trust and rely on God, for over and over He affirms that He is not confused by anything going on in our lives. I realize that we struggle with the temporary things that we go through, but we must come to the place that know that the key is that we 'go through.' Those states or conditions are not permanent for us. Remember, "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you." (1 Peter 5:10) After, after, after, you have suffered a little while. Whoa, what does that mean to us people of faith? Suffered carries the meaning to be affected or have been affected, to feel, have a sensible experience, to undergo. So after you undergo an experience, [tests, trials, tribulations, etc], then God will bring to fruition or bring you to your intended or perfected state, making you what you ought to be. All of us go through in order to become established securely and settled in Him, we learn to rely on Him and not in our own crafty schemes or abilities. God's Word is constantly working on our behalf. Remember; "For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish [same as completion; bring to fruition] that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." (Is. 55:10-11) We can rely on God to rescue us and to finish what He started in us! It shall be accomplished.

The Spirit of the Lord says;

My children have encountered many giants in their land. I Am calling to your remembrance that you are 'giant – slayers'! Do not allow that enemy of Ours to think that you are afraid. Run towards that lying, loud-mouth enemy and silence him with the Rock. You have been given My Word in order to raise the standards, you are never to lower yourself to the level of your enemy. Do not let him bring you into his way of fighting, no, you must pull him into Our ring, Our way. As you make that stand and keep your standard high the enemy will see that he cannot pull you down. I have made you to be a threshing instrument against him, with My word in your mouth, that has been planted in your heart, there is no weapon formed against you that will prosper. Do not be moved from your place of safety, for as you well know, the plan of the enemy is to kill, steal, and destroy. Yet I know, that as you stay in Me that you are hidden and inaccessible to him. I Am your Victor and your Champion! There is no defeat in Me, I will teach and train your hands to war. I say to you My child, fear not, for I have already overcome this tactic of the enemy. This way of his is not new to Me, though you may be overwhelmed by the strange fiery trial that has come upon you, I Am not. I have already decreed that you will come through with the victory and with more wisdom and insight than you have ever had before. This territory is yours and you will place the victory flag right there, and you will not be moved. The enemy will back off, for I have placed in you everything needed to conquer and avail in this battle too. There shall none of My Words be prolonged or deferred any more, but the Word that I have spoken shall be done! For the visions that I have given to you, they are not vain, and, the prophesy that I have spoken they are not flattering lies, I will perform every Word that I declared. So stand and do not bow to the enemy. Hold up the hands that are weary, and strengthen the weak knees, cut through and make firm stable paths for your feet. Follow me to victory and be strong and courageous. This is an ongoing transformation, but you will win as you stay wrapped up in Me. This strange and fiery trial shall pass and you will come forth as a giant-slayer prepared for the next level. I Am not finished with you, you are My masterpiece and I still have My hands on you.

Good Morning,

"What then shall we say to all this? If God is for us, who can be against us? Who can be our foe, if God is on our side? He who did not withhold or spare (even) His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will he not also with Him freely and graciously give us all other things?" (Romans 8:31-32) This is a sure promise from God to us. We have Father God, Jesus, our Lord, and Holy Spirit, as well as a whole host of angels to assist. "We have the prophetic word (made) firmer still. You will do well to pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dismal (squalid and dark) place until the day breaks through the gloom and the Morning Star rises (comes into being) in your hearts." (2 Peter 1:19) Pay attention to the Word of God for it shines through the darkest days, even if it glows like a lamp. The Morning Star will arise in a little while, that means more than only when the Lord one day rapturing us away. Notice that the last part of that verse says, when the Morning Star rises in your heart. When the revelation of the Word shining through the dismal, dark places comes to your heart, it will cause you to get up from where you are, giving you assistance to move. "Arise [from the depression and prostration from which circumstances have kept you – rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord ), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!" (Is. 60.1) The depression and prostration of circumstances makes all things look more dismal and gloomy than they really are. Allow the light of the Word to illuminate the gloominess of the circumstances in your life. Little by little the lamp of the Word will grow brighter and brighter as you stay under the light of it and you will begin to arise and move. Arise is to get up from sitting, lying, or kneeling; rise; to awaken; wake up, to move upward; mount; ascend. Remember, circumstances may cause you to bend or lie down, but God, Who is on your side will see to it that you have the ability to get up.

"But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord." (Is. 54:17) This is our heritage [portion, share, inheritance]. That means that whatever device, strategy, scheme, assignment, plans, etc. that the enemy tries to come up against us with it will not prosper [succeed, to advance, make profitable, or to be successful] that is our heritage. The enemy can never win. Sometimes the fight may endure awhile thereby giving off the illusion that the enemy has won, {he is a deceiver} but it's not over until God is done. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Remember that God is working in you; "Not in your own strength, for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and the desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight, (Phil. 2:13) Power and desire, both to do His will and His work, it comes from God working in us. We could never pull this off on our own, we need all the help that God has made available. Daddy wants to help us, let's just receive. God knows how to rescue the godly out of temptations and trials..(2 Peter 2:9)
