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.

"Deeper measure of Liberty"

Pastor D.

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.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

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.

"An army is rising"

Love,

Pastor D.

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.

"The throne of your heart"

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     I will judge the world in
righteousness and I will minister justice to My people in uprightness.
My children must not trust and rely upon their own way or in the help
of those who are strong in this worlds' wisdom. You must seek and
consult your Lord. For I the Lord your God, Am wise, and I will bring
them to calamity who put their trust in the arm of the flesh. I will not
retract My Word, I will arise against the race of evildoers and against
those who help work iniquity. Those who help in doing evil shall fall
and those who are helped by evil doers shall stumble and fall also. The
enemy has not been afraid of the many voices of My shepherd's in the
past, but a bold army of voices filled with my Word have arisen. That
is why I have anointed My people to war with My Word. I have come along
beside to defend and deliver. As I defend and deliver, I shall preserve
and keep your mind steady with My Word.
                         My children will cast away their idols of gold and silver, and of heart and mind,
which have caused them to miss the mark in their past. Now these
warriors are destroying strongholds of their minds and refusing to give
in to rebel emotions, that have keep generations captive. There will be
no strongholds of anger, unforgiveness, roots of bitterness, or
anything not rooted in My love. Then when you purge yourself of these
deceitful works you will deal prudently in affairs of life. These
strongholds shall begin to crumble like the walls of Jericho. Because
your voices shall be filled with power that will resonant in the ears
of the enemy. Kings that reign in righteousness and princes that rule
with justice, that is who you are. Now you have become a hiding place
from storms and a shelter from the wind for all who will come
believing. You are now streams of water in a dry place and the shade of
a great rock in an overheated land, for all who will turn to Me. Now the
eyes of those who see will not be closed or dimmed and the ears of
those who hear will listen closely and be attentive to Me. This
is where the shift is bringing you to, a place of reigning in this life
free of the weights of this world!

Love,

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

I Am busy in My vineyard, cultivating
My fields. I have been pruning and weeding My garden to bring the sweet
aroma of love. I Am waking up the blooms and raising up My blossoms to
open up and grow and develop beyond measure. We are about to send a
fragrance to this world that has never been inhaled before. So, I must
wash and clean up My fields, by pushing and cutting down all that has
obstructed, in order to plant and grow. I Am uprooting and overthrowing
all that has kept you from freely reaching your height in Me. I Am the
only One who knows what to allow to stay and what must go. You have put
to much trust in tottering fences and broken walls and not enough in
your Strong Tower.
You have depended upon unfaithful soil instead of being rooted deep in
the rich soil of My Word. You have placed your confidence in men who
have no power to bring forth the precious fruit in you. Men, who at
their apex cannot do for you what I could do at My minimum. I Am
dependable and consistent, faithful to watch over My Word to perform it
in your life and see to it that you grow in the most difficult
conditions of life. You will begin to spread outside your restrained
areas and I will bring you out into a large place to affect other
fields. Your buds will shoot forth in the right season, even though you
may not be aware of your effectiveness, I Am. Yet there have been
thoughts, ways, and attitudes that the enemy has slipped in your field
unawares. These things have germinated into weeds and tares and have
mixed themselves with My blooms. I will burn all the useless vines from
My vineyard. Do not be alarmed or amazed at what will transpire in the
next six months of pruning in your life. I Am at work, never doubt it.
I Am creating a strong environment for you to flourish and cultivate
in. I Am crushing the fruit to allow the fresh anointing to flow from
you.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

Today I was thinking about emotions and how we all have them and feel them operating in our lives. Even people who say that they are not moved by emotions are usually the ones that experience deep emotions and don't know how to deal with them. Sadness, hurt, anger, shame, grieve, happiness, excitement, pleasure, etc., and the list goes on and on. God gave us these emotions as a way to learn to yield to the supremacy of His Word in our hearts. There is nowhere in His Word where He tells us not to feel anything, but He does tell us to bring everything under the control of Holy Spirit by our own human spirit. We are told not to surrender ourselves to the emotion of fear. Every time that He would reveal Himself to anyone He would say, "fear not". Why? Because fear has torment and fear keeps one from perfect love. (I John 4:18) Fear inflicts punishment. "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but He has given us a spirit of power, and of love and of a sound mind." (II Timothy 1:7) So we know that we are not to yield to fear in any form, but resist it. We must not give voice to the spirit of fear, but give voice to love, power and soundness of mind. Anyway, I am not really dealing with the emotion of fear today, but some of the other emotions that we mentioned.

God's desire is for us to learn how to control our emotions, and not let them control us. One of the fruit of the Spirit is 'self-control', it is the character that we are to grow in and develop as Christians. Self control is simply controlling yourself, restraining your emotions and attitudes. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith, goodness, meekness, temperance (self-control): against such there is no law." (Gal. 5:22-23) Let's look at a few verses that tell us how to deal with our emotions. Here in the Amplified Bible and in the New Living Translation is Ephesians 4:26-27. "And don't sin by letting anger control you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil."

(NLT) "When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. Leave no such room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him]. So here we see we can be angry, but we must control it and not let anger control us. We learn to yield to the Word. Here is another example in the Word. "Now we would not have you ignorant, brethren, about those who fall asleep {in death}, that you may not grieve [for them] as the rest do who have no hope [beyond the grave]." (I Thess. 4:13) Here we see that sorrow most be yielded to the Word of God, we must not be overwhelmed with sorrow or grieving. Read II Corinthian 2:9-11, godly sorrow works repentance in the heart. Sorrow in and of itself is not bad if we yield our emotions to the Word, and we control and restrain ourselves from being controlled by emotions. So don't be afraid to feel, just control yourself in light of the Word. When we decree God's way of thinking then we bring every thought captive and our feelings will follow.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

You are about to see Me do what I do best, loving you and the whole of you. As you have grown through the journey of change, you must know that it was Me that preserved you. It was Me that healed your body, Me that kept your mind sound. It was Me that walked beside you when others abandoned you. I remain faithfully yours and committed to you. I HAVE BEEN YOUR COVERING AND YOUR REAR GUARD. Through every insecurity I made you know My security and wholeness. Now, prepare your mind to know a greater sense of peace. It comes by casting, at all times, everything that tries to occupy your thoughts. Simply refuse to let worry and fear remain in your heart. I Am sending a cleansing flood to purge your mind, in order to set your mind on Me. Peace like a river to wash away all of the dregs that try to cling. Every day saying yes to Me and My Word, and fulfilling your destiny in Me. Whole minds that resist the cloudiness of an unrenewed mind. There is life in My words, healing for your flesh. My love filling you up, stay in My Word. It is your source and your lifeline, health to your mind, body, and soul. When you encounter Me you will come out with joy and be led forth with peace.

My wisdom will come to you as rain coming down from the clouds. It will come to refresh. Little by little I Am refreshing your heart. Listen to My voice in the middle of all voices that scream at you. I Am peace to lead you in the middle of confusion. Increasing all of you. Resting from My refreshing rain to your heart, you will arise in My love and carry out the purpose without delay. You are My special treasure, My beautiful ones and you will see My promises come to pass in greater measure. Come out of the storm into the Light. Instead of thorns will come the cypress trees, instead of the brier shall come the myrtle. Your health and your righteousness will break forth speedily. I will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth in you. My special forces of help and deliverance I have sent to you for aide. Now worship Me in My Word, and you will with your own eyes see Me as your deliverer. I will bring you into your fruitful places!

"I am refreshing your heart"

Good Morning,

Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]." (James 5:16) I have been meditating on this scripture and begin realizing the power that we have as we pray. When we pray with the understanding that the answers to our prayers flow through us before they come to us. We, in fact hold the key to our own answers. The verse says, "pray for one another, that you may be healed." Your healing comes as you pray for another. It brings to mind the scripture in Galatians 6:7-9; "Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.'' The King James version of the underlined words read, "for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Of course all of this can be harvested from our prayer life, by the seeds we sow in others life. If we pray for healing for ourselves or our loved ones, then we must give healing to others. If you pray for peace, then you must let peace flow through you to others. You become the vessel that your prayers are fulfilled through, then your answered prayer will come to you. Do you see it? "Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you." (Luke 6:38) Benefits means advantage, profit, assistance, betterment, blessing, favor, gain, godsend, help, prosperity, welfare, and use. We are the answer or we carry the answer for someones prayer, or at least the part that we play in answered prayer. What measure or benefits of kindness, goodness, healing, peace, or blessing have you been to others? Do you not see your healing (of body, mind, soul, and finances) lies in the measure that you are willing to give to others? This kind of heartfelt, earnest and fervent prayer makes tremendous power available in our prayer life and turns to multiplied blessings in answered prayer. When we pray, let's pay attention to our requests and then be ready to be that to others who are asking for the same. Let's pray with the knowledge that we will receive from the Lord whatever we ask for, because we are seeding into other people's lives the harvest we are expecting. Pray, confer benefits to others, and expect the answer!

"Harvested from prayer"
