Good Morning,

God has been speaking to us since the end of last year that we are to be getting prepared for our eternity. Yes, we know this, but really most of us spend the majority of our energy on living here and making a living here. We invest numerous hours into the building of our earthly home, and this is fine if it is done in the right order of importance. Really though, most of us are consumed with these things. We tend to forget the command of our Lord, that says, "Seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things taken together will be given you besides." (Matt.6:33) Our hearts should be longing for the Kingdom of God, heaven, and the return of our Lord. Just think about it, the Lord has been preparing for us, it is time that the bride spends her time in expectation and preparation for home. Listen to His heart; "Then the King will say to those at His right hand, Come you blessed of My Father (you favored of God and appointed to eternal salvation) inherit (receive as your own) the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." (Matt. 25:34) Of course most of us can quote this verse: "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me. There is more than enough room in My Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am." (John 14:1-3) Now we understand that our Lord is in preparation, so we as His love should have the same heart. Prepare means to make ready beforehand; to get into condition for use; plan the details of; to provide for by getting ready; it means a process that has a purpose which involves varying stages. God has placed in our heart the desire for our eternal home and we must stir this up at all times. Keeping eternity as our driving force will cause us to keep on the path of righteousness. "But as it is written, Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, neither has entered into the heart of many the things that God has prepared (made and keeps ready; plan the details of) for those who love Him in affectionate reverence. Yet to us (in varying stages) God has revealed unto us by His Spirit for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the deep things of God. (I Corin. 2:9) As we yearn for His return and long to be with Him, He begins to reveal to us more of the secret things that He has hidden for us, not from us.

So then family, let us, "rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb at last has come, and His bride has prepared herself."(Rev.19:7) Our hearts should at all times have the longing that is recorded in the Word in many places. Listen to this, "[Then, longingly addressing her absent shepherd, she cried] Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away, return hastingly, O my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young hart as you cover the mountains [which separate us]." (Song of Solomon 2:17) Let me say that the true Church has turned up the fires of her longing for the Love of her life. We are awakening love, it is time. Now, the Spirit and the bride are on one accord. We are saying, come! We are in preparation and more is opening up in the heavenlies to assist us in being single-minded. "Now we live with great expectation and we have a priceless inheritance, an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled beyond the reach of change and decay. Which are being guarded by God's power through your faith until you fully inherit that final salvation that is ready to be revealed for you in the last time." (I Peter 1:3-5)

I don't know about you, but I am glad that my inheritance is beyond the reach of the decay of earth.

"So Come"

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

Have you not heard that the Lord saves His anointed ones? All
that will put their trust in Him and not in the ability or strength of
man, He will refresh, support and reinforce. All of His kings, will be
purified and become white, washed by his Word. A refining process that
will come from the throne
room where the fires are being turned up. You will say, "how
sweet is My God, for the great things He has done." You know for sure
that you are being readied for the holy purposes of God. Deep within you
know that the 'coming of the Lord' is drawing nearer than before,
and you continue to receive encouragement from this truth. You know that
you are intimately imprinted upon the hand of the Lord, He has neither
forgotten you or given up on you. You realize that He is making and
gathering up His jewels for His treasury. His children are His delight
and His treasure. Therefore you have been
keeping a watch upon your spirit and renewing your soul that it may be
controlled by the Spirit
of the Lord. You are not giving into the heaviness of the spirit
of deception nor the great cover up of not walking by the love of God. You are
stirring yourselves up to love and walk in the highway of heaven and not
to the lowlands of this earth.

The Spirit of the Lord says;

I Am coming as a great light and a fresh
fire flowing as a fountain to all who have kept their flames lit. You
are about to experience walking up and down in My name as you recover
things that were stolen or that slipped by you at this past season. You
will walk boldly as you hold the fire that burns as it goes. This fire
will begin to burn away the forests that have kept you from seeing
clearly. Wake up, wake up, for I Am surrounding you with fire and it
will be for glory in your midst. I Am a consuming fire and a Refiner. You will begin
to rejoice at all times as one who is intoxicated with new wine. Yes, I
have squeezed forth new wine from the grapes that have been produced
during this last season of trouble. A change must now come, one that is
fueled by the fire that I have ignited in you. It must be to pray for
all that do not know Me or obey Me. There is a fire igniting for them as
well,
but not for purification. There are dual purposes going on at all
times. This same fire will purge some while destroying others. All who
do not love Me will begin to feel this heat turning up on them. It is
time now for you to be about the Kingdom's business. Snatching souls
from the fires that they have set by rejecting Me.

Harvest time has come near in My own
field. There is a dividing line to separate between the tares and the
wheat and the sheep and the goats, that have grown and grazed together.
Those that are genuine must be holy still. You must keep guard and stay
in the love of your God, expecting and waiting patiently for the mercy
for eternal life. Do not grow weary in doing right, for your season of
recompense is upon you. I will make a known difference between who is
Mine and those who are not. Just as the world will experience signs and
wonders in the sky and upon the earth, they will experience a new level
of signs and wonders being exhibited from My children. We are about to
do awe inspiring acts, they will know that you are not of this world!

"Fresh Fire Like a Fountain"

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

It is time to take your position and
stay as a watchman on your wall. The watchman will see and hear that
the morning is coming, for the night is almost over and joy is coming in
this new morning! I have placed each one of My children in their most
effective station, for the things that will come in this next year.
Prepare to succeed, when all others fail, who don't know Me. I have
placed upon My own a seal of My anointing which is able to forcefully
resist any other agent that will try to breakthrough. Yet, understand
this, that the enemy of your soul will not stand idly by, while you are
applying force. Be prepared to fight the fight to win. As a watchman
you must be able to have eagle vision, to see from afar the schemes and
the strategies of the enemy. Know that he will try to bring a level of
confusion to your mind in order to get
you to letup. See, this is not the time for halting. I will arise
because of the groans of the needy and the cries of the faithful ones,
and I will put you in a place of safety. I have not hidden My face from
you neither have I forgotten you. I will counsel you with My eye and by
My words. So, hear and see.

I have heard the cries of My children to
see more of My presence, and I will manifest Myself to those who are
looking to see, and listening to hear. This time will be unique for My
children who are seeing and hearing, for the old and the new are coming
together to disclose My greatness like never before. Keep pressing
toward Me in worship, for you are closer than you have ever been to
breaking through barriers. These barriers are those that have been set
by the forces of religion, this world system, the enemy, as well as the
limitations set by your own mind and your generation. Open your eyes
that you may begin to behold the wonders that is Me. Not just here in
this earth realm, but in the heavenlies and also within you. You are of
the God-kind. There is much more in you than even you know. Yet, some
have tapped into the deep places, the wells of living waters on the
inside of
them. It is not only in your ability to create, but also in the
God-given imagination that is given to produce more creativity. I am
removing the lids and the caps off of those who have sought Me
diligently and are dying daily to the old man. They will be amazed and
baffled by what will break out from you. It is because you have lifted Me high in your heart, now
know that your humility has caused you to be lifted high. Expect to
witness My hand as I execute and accomplish My plans upon the difficult
and troublesome testings and struggles in your life. Remember, stand
upon the walls and hear and see, do not be easily moved by any other
thing.

Good Morning,

Recently, I was talking to my friend about the growth of some
plants that she had potted. One set she kept in the soil that the plants
were bought in, the other set she used 'miracle gro' potting soil. After about a
couple of weeks the plants that were set in the 'miracle gro', were three
times the size of the ones in normal soil. Just think about that! We
have the option in our spiritual lives to stay planted in the 'miracle
gro' of the Word of God
and grow some thirty, sixty and one hundredfold. Yet, the majority of
Christian's rarely spend time in the Word of God. Amazingly though, we
expect the Word to work on our behalf with just some 'ole' normal soil.
We must ask God to give us a hunger and a desire to love His Word. The
soil is our heart, the conditions of the soil (our hearts) can be
changed by the application of the Word. The Word of God is our "miracle
gro'.

Listen to what we need to increase the growth: "The laws of the
Lord are true; each one are fair. They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping
from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for
those who obey. I have hidden your Word in my heart, that I might
not sin against You. I have rejoiced in Your laws as much as in
riches. I will study Your commandments and reflect on Your
ways. I will delight in Your decrees and not forget Your Word. Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in Your instructions. I
will pursue Your commands, for You expand my understanding. Help
me understand the meaning of Your commandments, and I will
meditate on Your wonderful deeds. Give me understanding and I will obey
Your
instructions. Make me walk down the path of Your commands,
for that is where my happiness is found. Give me an
eagerness for Your laws rather than a love for money! Turn My
eyes from worthless things, and give me life through Your Word.
Even perfection has its limits, but Your commands have no limit. Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day
long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are
my constant guide. Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am
always thinking of Your laws. I will praise you seven times a day
because Your regulations are just. Those who love Your instructions
have great peace and do not stumble". (Psalm 19:9-11; Psalm 119:11;
verses 14-16; verse 18; vs. 32; vs.27; verses 35-37; verses
96-99; verses 165 &166)

Just putting
one or two of these verses in your daily declarations will build up an
appetite for the Word of God. In the verses above you will see the
blessings of staying in the Word. They benefit your life, mind and body
as well as prosperity for the whole man. This is the washing of the
water of the Word that will cause the soil of your heart to become
'miracle gro'. The Word
will begin to guide you into making wise decisions and choices for
your life, destiny and future. Your judgment will be sound and you will
walk in the way that God has planned for you. Hear this; "Listen to Me! I have important things to tell you.
Everything I say is right..My advice is wholesome, there is nothing
crooked or devious in it. My Words are plain to anyone with
understanding, clear to those with knowledge. I, Wisdom, live together
with good
judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.' (Prov.
8:6; 8-9; 12) Here is the first secret to
success, loving God's Word. It
will cause you to be trees that are planted, steady, stable and
continually productive in every area of living. Prospering in all
that you do, bearing fruit in every season. Good seasons as well as
difficult seasons. Why? "Because we delight
in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night'' (Psalm 1-3) We can start a fresh and new. By desiring and
hungering for His Word in order to grow spiritual strong. " 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)

We must be firm and unshakable. So let's
start by deciding and decreeing over our lives. We shall hunger and thirst for the
Word, until we can say, "I have esteemed the Words of His mouth more
than my necessary food. "So let's water the soil of our heart with a
daily supply of the 'miracle gro' of the Word of God.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Reach higher than you have ever reached
before. There is a greater realm of glory calling you to seek those
things that are above. In the next six months there will be hurricane
force winds that will blow away all that is not rooted. The force of
these winds will cause the waters to rise quickly and overtake you. Afterwards,
a calm will set in that will cause some to be unsettled, except for
those who have put their trust in Me, they will be firm and unshaken by
the storm or the still. I rule over the flood waters and times of
peace. Though the floods may try to overflow and wash away all that I
have planted, it will not move those hidden treasures that I have put there. I Am
the Lord and I change not.

Be aware that some will try and push you
into moving before your time which will make your vision cloudy. Do not
be hasty in your movements, for the steps taken now must be divinely
ordered. I will restore to you the sparkle that once lit your eyes, if
you will follow hard after me. Do not be a god unto yourself, let Me be
your God, your Guide and your Inheritance. My promises to you are pure
and sure. You will see My goodness as you practice waiting and
listening. You will hear Me speaking to you as you walk the way and the
path that I lead.

Listen to My heart! I have fully
equipped and supplied you with every gift, talent, ability and the
strength and energy to accomplish My mandate and purpose for you, My
people and My house. With each and every calling, no matter how diverse,
I have placed the necessary assets in the deep wells of your being. As
you apply pressure upon the abilities within you, you will see the wells
begin to bubble up and overflow. They will overflow in ways of
understanding, knowledge and wisdom. You will know what to do and when
to do it and how to achieve it. You will not fear, but you will swallow
fear up by living the life
of love. This is the generation of Enoch, those who
follow Me from the heart of love. Those whose lives are lived in
obedience to Me.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

This is My message to My church; Listen
My pastors, prophets, teachers, evangelists, apostles and saints. You
must stop and put an end to fighting over the earthly things that have
no eternal value. No more arguing over the biggest, being the best and
over who has accumulated the most material wealth. The wealth of My
Kingdom is not measured in the worth of this world's system. It is measured
by the value of souls being brought into My Kingdom to inherit eternal
salvation. It is high time for growing up spiritually in My House. This
is now the season and the time when even the "dead sea" will render souls for the Kingdom. I
need you to be aware of the times and the seasons as My servants
Issachar was. Souls, the cry is for souls.

Be attentive now, come down from the
wall of complacency and bickering and straining over gnats,
these 'worldly' things. Focus on what I Am doing now. I Am restoring,
'reclaiming' and repositioning My house and fine tuning all areas of
ministry. My love must be the director! It is the only thing that can
lead you in the direction that I Am going in. Few of My people are still
in pursuit of My love. Yet, I said, "to follow after love", and that
"he who loves is made perfect." For My love casts out all fear, for this
fear will hinder you from following in this hot passion after Me and My
ways. Come closer to Me and learn My ways of love, not the world's way of
love, but Mine. For My ways are higher and My thoughts are wiser than
this world can ever fathom. So, allow patience to work in you, that you
may become my people, whole and lacking nothing.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

I Am drawing you closer, yet you have been irritable and impatient with Me for you think that I Am trying to take your liberty and freedom from you. I Am giving you a deeper measure of liberty as you depend upon Me. The more you yield to Me, the more of Me you will see in yourself. There must be no more callousness and hardness of heart, simply obey. I Am nurturing mature sons into My glory. Do not resist My discipline for it will hinder your growth and your blessings. Preparation for the needed change in order to hear the next level. We are ready for a new glory level that has never been seen or experienced before. Everyone that has detained you before you must not heed their voices any longer. You must be as deaf to them as they are to Me.

In you I have placed a part of Me that will make you go forward. This is the abundant life, that will eat away at all things that are not Me. Many of My people and especially My ministers have been out of sync with Me. It is time to prepare for this new season and the refreshing anointing that will flow to all of My own. Do not be complacent about souls. Stir yourselves up to do the work of the ministry. You will find that your desires will increase towards winning souls the more you worship Me. Creative ways I will give you to inspire you to be about My business. You will start to operate in a new dimension and a peculiar grace, so that signs and wonders will accompany you. Do not allow fear to prevent you from stepping in through the open door that I have for you in this season. As you obey you will encounter more freedom and liberties than you have ever known.

Good Morning,

There is a heightened sensitivity to offense, to giving offense
and to being offended. The words of your mouth are powerful weapons and
mighty tools. They can be used to build something or someone up as well
as to destroy something or someone in your life. Death and life are in
the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit
of it. (Prov.18:21) The link to offenses
and the love of God
'waxing cold' is very strong. If you use your mouth as an extension of
the love of God, (even when speaking truth that may hurt), it will be
housed in love. I'm not saying truth won't offend us, but it will carry a
healing with it to restore. The Bible says, "that a brother offended is
harder to be won than a strong city and their contentions separate them
like the bars of the castle." (Prov. 18:19) This kind of offense comes when words spoken come from
a place of anger, hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness, jealousy and the
list of fleshly and sensual emotions not under the control of the
Spirit. On the other hand, when words are spoken from the place of the
love of God, it may tear down but the purpose is to build and repair.

The season that we are in now, the enemy, the prince of the
power of the air has turned up the notch to twist and mix the words that
you are sending out into the atmosphere. (Ephes. 2:2) The caution for us then is to live truly, deal truly
and to love truly. We must learn to study before we speak or answer
anyone, be slow to speak and let your words be seasoned as with salt. (Prov. 15:28; Jas.1:19) Do battle in
the Spirit to shield yourself against offense, stay in the Word. Keep
yourself covered with the armor
of God. When you are hearing, filter everything said through My
Word. Don't be easily offended because it is attached to the root of
bitterness that enters into your heart and begins to eat away at what
you have built up in the Word. This root of bitterness has the ability
to
spread like cancer from the offended one and the offender and infect
all those around. (Heb. 12:15) This root left unchecked grows into sicknesses and
diseases. It produces fear to receive and give love, which in turns
produces a paranoia of others. So, let's stop it now! It is a trap, a
snare set by the enemy to make you fall in it. This time let the enemy
fall into his own pit that he set. Walk on by it, by walking in love.
Forgive and let others go, but don't be foolish enough to keep poking
your head into the snare.

Get wisdom and apply this to your life. God will reveal to you
the necessary steps of love, to keep you and preserve you from
bitterness and unforgiveness. This kind of bitterness leads to
'spiritual cataracts.' Your vision becomes blurred, you see things that
are not quite clear. You end up in a state of deception, where you
perceive things wrong. Your comprehension becomes dull, and you are not
able to see things afar off. You become spiritual near-sighted. And we
as Christians need to be able to see from afar, otherwise we end up
stumbling over truth. This offense has opened the door to
the enemy to steal right before your eyes. Do not let him divide and
destroy My house. Do not allow the enemy to cause you to sow the wrong
kind of seeds, to cause you to have an unwanted harvest. Do not let this
continue in My house.

The Spirit of the Lord says,

An army is arising with heavenly wisdom and strategies having insight and knowing how to successfully wage war against the enemy. My mighty people that stay consistently raised up and seated with Me in heavenly places. That seat which is far above principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. You must take all that I have given you to be able to stand against the wicked one in the evil day. My people will stand immovable and abounding always in My work, doing My business. This people will stand and will always get the victory. You will get up from the deep spiritual slumber that the worries and cares have pressed upon your mind. My people will live purposefully and accurately as Kingdom priests and kings do. Ambassadors that represent 'Our' Kingdom, not living a vague and thoughtless life, but understanding and applying My Word. My will is saving souls, and this army marches to a higher level of glory as it goes, snatching souls from hell's fire. The covering of their lives show that they are living in My Presence. My glory is being transferred on them, an ever increasing enlightenment.

You will hear and see and know what to do in this tight constricted place of pressure. This pressing will break forth into new wine, overflowing. This pruning process is to make you more productive. They have wisdom and know that I Am working things out for their good. They are keeping anxiety from choking their trust in Me. Now watch and see what We will do! This is a tuning for precision moment for all of My children. You must not allow the process to break you down, but to make you a sharper instrument for My glory. Stay strong, for I Am opening creative ways for healing, deliverance and worship. I Am sending new witty ideas for provisions to prosper you and to keep you ahead. Now those who have heard Me will increase in their ability to discern and see what lies ahead. Through darkness the light will shine even brighter.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Take heed My people, My church and change your ways. It is time to repent of your lethargic ways and embrace Mine. You have neglected to love one another and the enemy has sown bitterness and resentment towards each other. If you will begin to allow My Word to be seated on the throne of your heart then you will have courage and faith to deal with these faults with a decisive mind. Do not let pride hide the weaknesses that I Am bringing to the surface of your heart, so that you may be healed and delivered. This is the wicked way of the enemy, to sow tares of deceit and pride. Now is the time to come under the power of My word for the enemy is sending a strong delusion in order to get My people to believe a lying deceitful spirit. Do not stop in your pursuit of My love. I have spoken before and now is the time where the love of many will wax cold, in My house. This sin is rampant in My house and I Am saying, "enough." "Clean, clean the temple must be clean." I want your character and personality to be lovely, worthy of My Bride. I will not keep silent until your righteousness shines like a bright torch. I will not be still until this world is blinded by the beauty and power of 'Our' glory. Some of your beauty that you had in the beginning, when your love for Me was fresh and new, has been marred. For a long time I have been calling My people to the place of holiness, purging by the washing of My Word. This is the beauty that I desire and long to see in you. A dedicated devotion is needed to cause you to keep your eyes only on Me. I rebuke and chasten those who I love and those who are My own.

The season of suffering and difficulties I have used to bring out the best in you and to rid you of the refuse. You must take hold of my grace, it is the ability that you need in order to excel. Do not become weary in doing My word and keeping my Word, for I will impart to you a double portion of anointing and strength. Take no stock in your reputation or in what you may have done up until now, for a fresh and new way has come to you. True humility! It requires a new level of trusting in Me. Preparations are being made for you, for I am ahead of you naming your steps before you arrive there. The time of great war for your souls has come. Prepare yourselves to endure hardships as soldiers, and do not be easily moved by the outer conditions. Become stable inside and your outer man will follow. In the past few years I have begin to toughen you up, for many of My people were very soft. Many have only had the milk of My word, feeding on all that delights the eyes and the ears. Now it is high time for all to grow up spiritually. I yearn for My people, My church to rise up and become the mature sons of God. Many will not be able to stand in the days to come if their spiritual diet does not improve. For man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from My mouth.
