Good Morning,
 
The Spirit of the Lord says;
  
Do not quit!  It is the set time to stir up all that I have given you.  Call to mind every gift, talent and ability that I placed in you for the Kingdom.  In this next year you will need to make use of every unique endowment that you have for the Kingdom.  Let each new day bring to you a fresh new zeal for the fulfillment of predestination.  The clouds of despair and discouragement will wash away as you apply intensity and initiative to the quest.  You will be strengthened by every step that you take, don't look back or gaze at others around you.  Yes, I will cause many people to be amazed at you, for they will see your God at work through you.  Many signs and wonders will follow you because of your stance of obedience.  I have opened doors for this set time, wisdom, insight, knowledge and revelation will abound in the humble, obedient ones.  You belong to My household and your faith has been built upon all of the saints of old, the prophets and apostles.  Yes, My people continue to grow and increase into My sanctuary, a sacred place for the Presence of your Father.  My favor shall surround My people like a shield, to protect them as they go forth in the great steps of faith.  Some will move into the unknown territory, others will gain ground in familiar places, but we will be victorious in every arena.  We will break through the enemy's domain and take back all that he has stolen.  Warring with the wisdom, insight and revelation that will flow freely.  Obedience is the key to the releasing of all things.  Obedience is the key to the manifold blessings and glory.  Hear and do!  Receive and walk in all of the glory of your Lord.  As I build up My house, so does My glory increase in you.  The zeal for My house will consume you and more of Me will be found.  Do not quit or loosen your hold upon My Word or My Presence.  This is the year of turn arounds and restoration, do not miss the open door!

Good Morning,

     If you are like me, you have faced numerous tests and trials this past year.  Your faith has been tried, hopefully, gold was brought forth from these fires of testings.  If not, God is a finisher.  In other words you will get to take the test over again.  He wants us to succeed in all that we put our hands to do.  Therefore you can be sure that he will complete the work He has started in you.  Remember, Psalms 138:8; "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord endures forever, forsake not the works of Your own hands."  That is the precision work that is going on in us now, and it is becoming more intense.  Our spiritual training has  been turned up a notch.  "Train yourself toward godliness (piety), [keeping yourself spiritually fit].  For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come." (I Timothy 4:7-8)  Those things that have tried to take us under have been turned around to bring forth a stronger more disciplined and spiritually trained god-like child of God"For the time being (while you are going through) no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterward it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it [a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness — in conformity to God's will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God]" (Heb. 12:11) Training is to instruct or drill in habits of thoughts and actions; to shape or develop character by discipline or precepts; to exercise or teach; to direct in attaining a skill.  Exercise is regular repeated use of a faculty, exertion for the sake of developing and maintaining fitness; something performed or practiced in order to develop, improve or display a specific skill; a maneuver, operation, or drill carried out for training and discipline.  Discipline is training that corrects, molds or perfects the mental faculties or moral character; self control.

     We are being matured for our ultimate responsibility, reigning with our King.  That is why these things are fading, but we are eternal beings.  The training we are enduring is preparing us for an exceeding, eternal weight of glory, that is beyond this world.  "For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!]"  (II Corin. 4:17)  Our Father is preparing us and most are unaware of the great discipline that is going on.  It has been a hidden wisdom.  "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Hidden is concealed or kept away from human understanding.  This hidden wisdom has not been kept from us but for us, but it is still hidden from those who do not love our Father.  Yet God has revealed it to us.
     Revealed means to take off the covers; to disclose; to divulge information; to open up to view; to make known what has been concealed; to make known truths beyond the range of ordinary human reason or vision.  Get ready, revelations into the deep things of God are being made known to those whom, He has kept them ready for.  We are being conformed to God's will in purpose, thought, and action.  Be a ready listener!!

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     I have placed My deep in you, in earthen vessels.  I have hidden My profound wisdom in you.  Now in this set time I Am taking the cover off of all that lies within you.  This world will come to see and get a glimpse of how deep I really am.  This generation will walk in a higher revelation as I disclose to them in more intimate details My plans.  My deep is calling to the deep in you.  No one, including you has seen the real you, but I will give you a preview of what I have invested in you.  Hidden riches in secret places, I have placed in you and now you will discover the realms and levels of My deepness in you.  Treasures that will bring deliverance's, wholeness and insight.  First, you must yield to My pruning, for I Am cutting away the weeds and clutter of living in this world from you.  Next, you must open yourself up, so that you can dispense the heavenly glory to this earth.  My will being done on earth is the greatest move for this set time.  Signs and wonders following you as you yield to My Word and to staying in heavenly places.  You must demonstrate the power of My highest wisdom to this world.  I Am popping the top off of the vast deepness in My yielded ones.  Removing the spiritual cataracts, the cloudiness and obscurity that has kept your feet from swiftly running.  KNOW THIS, THAT THOSE WHO ARE TRULY HEAVENLY MINDED ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TO THIS EARTH.  For you will be the ones that use all that is given from heaven, all the power, all the wisdom, all of the insight and the ability to advance the kingdom in EVERY WAY, spiritually, physically, financially and in their souls.  Staying heavenly-minded will cause you to accomplish all that is beyond the earth, man's ability, it is godliness.  Everything that causes heaven to kiss the earth, then you will see My will being done on earth.
     Remember this is the season of completed transition.  Yes, many will make enormous changes that will spare their lives as well as their families.  Don't despair and fall into the trap of laying down.  Stand up and stay connected with the heavenly promises that I have given to you.  I will cause reforms in areas that have laid dormant, look I Am blowing a fresh breeze over them.  Stand in the gap for your nation, stand in the gap for your family.  Heaven has sent you aid from on high, angels to assist in this high assignment.  Each step will bring you closer to destiny.  Your steps taken during this season will be multiplied and intensified.  Don't be bullied or harassed by the spirit of Rab-shake to come down from your assignment, stay on the wall.  For I Am shaking all that is in My house and in this world, so that My glory will be multiplied in you!
     This prophetic word came after a teaching from I Corinthians 2:6-9, we will discuss this next time we meet.  But just meditate on this fact, for all who can not wrap their minds around this weighty thinking.  God's thoughts are higher than ours, yet He will reveal them to His servants, His sons and daughters.  Those who want to know and inquire and listen.  To be heavenly-minded does not mean that your earthly needs will be abandoned, no, this is to think small of heaven.  My dear brothers and sisters, in heaven there is no lack or want, for in His Presence there is fullness of joy.  You will not lack for housing, transportation, food, or clothing, these are super abundantly supplied by our heavenly Father.  Mansions, streets of gold, rivers of life, trees with twelve manner of fruit on them, with healing for the nations, these sound like a caring Father that provides well.  So, don't be narrow minded in thinking that to be heavenly-minded is to squeeze out the time that you are here on earth.  This is so much higher than only being preoccupied with your earthly existence.  It includes being the head in this life as well.  If you were heavenly-minded you would be thinking and acting as Father does in heaven, concerning the things on this earth.  "(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek): for your heavenly Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."  To quote a verse in I Corinthians 2:7; "But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden [from the human understanding] and now revealed to us to us by God—[that wisdom]which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification [to lift us into the glory of His Presence].  These things that were at one time concealed and kept secret is now being revealed.  Revealed meaning to, to take the covers off of; to disclose and uncover.  What is going on in the heavens is now being revealed in greater details and in sharper vision.  We will begin here next time.  Have days of heaven on earth!

Good Morning,

     As we keep our minds stayed on our heavenly home and our eternal destiny we can keep our perspective about what is going on around us and in this temporary placeJohn 14:1-3; says, "Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated).  You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.  In My Father's house there are many mansions (dwelling places, home).  If it were not so, I would have told you; for I Am going to prepare a place for you.  And when I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, that where I Am there you may be also."  We are occupying in a state of preparation.  We are lovesick for the Lover of our soul.  He is coming for His Bride, the purified Church.  Philippians 3:20-21; "But we are citizens of the state (commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven and from it we earnestly and patiently await the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, Who will transform and fashion anew the body of His glory and majesty by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself."  Look at this great and glorious promise and hope that we have, to live eternally with our Father and our Lord.  Well we must keep ourselves stirred up and getting ready.  Our citizenship is in our homeland.  Soon we will be going home.  All of us believers are on the journey toward home.  Every test, trial, and temptation are the light momentary affliction, that we must obtain the victory over, as we keep our eyes eternally minded.  Earnestly means to be serious in intention, purpose or effort; sincerely zealous; showing depth and sincerity of feeling; seriously important, demanding or receiving serious attention.  We need to give serious attention and be zealous about looking and preparing for our Lord's return and heaven.

     "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish (pass away) with a thunderous crash, and the material elements [of the universe] will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.  Since all these things are thus in the process of being dissolved, what kind of person ought each of you to be [in the meanwhile] in consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities.  While you earnestly long for (expect and hasten) the coming of the day of God by reason of which the flaming heavens will be dissolved, and the [material] elements [of the universe] will flare and melt with fire?  But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness (uprightness, freedom from sin, and right standing with God) is to abide." (II Peter 3:9-13)  Now you can see why we must position ourselves to holiness, godliness and uprightness.  Are you expecting and hastening His coming?  We do this by our diligence, consistency and persistence in the Presence of God and in His Word.  The more that you spend time in His Presence there arises a longing and yearning to be with the One who loves you so perfectly.  The more that you spend time in His Word, it reveals to us the times and the seasons that we are in, and awakens our longing even greater.  "So beloved, since you are expecting these things, be eager to be found by Him [at His coming] without spot or blemish and at peace [in serene confidence, free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].  (II Peter 3:14) This is the reason that we must walk holy in our behavior and our conduct as we see the day approaching.  This is not the time to quit, but to stir up the flames and burn even more in love with our Lord and Savior.  We can have serene confidence and remain free from fears and all the agitation that the world is experiencing.  Eager is being keen or ardent in desire or effort.  We must be eager to without spot or blemish, we must put forth an effort to be continuously washed by the Word.  He is coming!  We have our covenant to live in holiness, so no matter what comes keep your eyes heavenly-minded.  "For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease.  Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting." (II Corinthians 4:17-18)

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     Hear the voice of your God!  There is a great need for an awakening alarm for My own.  Too many have fallen into despair because of fires that were sent to refine and purify them.  I have allowed some fires and sent others to burn away those areas in your life that have crippled your character and made your witness ineffective.  The chastening that I bring is to cause you to lift your submitted hands up to Mine and stop trying to devise your own path.  If you will recognize My hand in your times of testing and know that My plan is for good, then you will learn to praise Me in the fire.  As you do, you will invite all of My glory right in your midst.  You will not be consumed by My fires, only purged and perfected.  I will bring to the surface all the iron and sulfur, that which is false in you, so the genuine gold may be left.

     There will be fires all around, in the natural as well as in the spiritual realm.  Some fires will be fires of judgment, others are for holiness.  Everyone will be tested by the fire, their works as well as their hearts.  These fires are pivotal to the turning of the spiritual tides, they are alarms that are sounding everywhere.  Wake up and be My church on fire and keep creating fires in every territory that I have placed in your authority.  Instead of being conformed to this world, be extremely passionate towards Me and your fire will be ablaze continuously.  You will run for the kingdom because of the burning that I have started in you.  I came to set the world on fire and I place that desire in each one of My children's heart.  Stir the flames and rekindle, restore, revive and re-ignite your first love.

     On one hand this fire will burn away the chaff and vain works of My children, and on the other hand it is equally as strong to burn the corruption of nations and all that they have done in order to build and establish their own temporal wealth and security.  I will expose the terrible things that have been said and done in darkness by this same fire.  Nations have sinned against My Word and My name and I have patiently waited for repentance.  To My own I have given power to escape the corruption and evils of this world.  The day of reckoning will come for the rebellion and rejection of Me and My Word.  Yet, for My beautiful ones, I will wash the filth from her and cleanse her with the fiery breath of My glory.  So, yield to My flames of love children, and I will be your hiding place and your refuge when the fires of judgment come.  Know this, that not even the smell of smoke will not attach itself to you for you are My beloved one, those who will let and allow My purging fires in their lives.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     I will awaken all who desire to walk in clear comprehension of what I Am doing in this time.  Awaken with the eye-salve of My Spirit that has been applied to the eyes of My children that are crying out to see.  They realize that this temporary blindness has been caused by the 'god' of this world system.  He has clouded their eyes by the cares of this world, this world which is not their homeland.  He has heightened his false deception of the lust of other things, 'the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes.'  A smoke screen to deceive those who would not totally yield themselves to My Lordship in their lives.  This will cause a great falling away from My house, by those who will not daily renew their love with Me by obedience to My word.  I have warned My people about the strong delusion that would cause 'one' to believe a lie.  It is disguised in the form of truth; deceitfulness of riches, cares of this world, and the lust of other things.  These temporary things giving the appearance of eternal things.  Yet, I have given My Spirit, so that you might discern between good and evil.  You must be 'being filled' with My Spirit in order to eradicate the blinders of this world.  I Am calling you deeper into the covering of the healing oil of My Spirit.  I have given to you My Comforter that you may stay well ahead and high above the delusions, and not for one moment be abused or misused by it.  You, My glorious ones, finally knowing the riches of your calling and that it is far superior than this temporary dimension of time.

     I warn you, do not be entrapped because of those who you love, those whose roots are deep in this world.  You must remain fixed in Me in order to be a blessing to them, in order to be the 'sent deliverer.'  If you choose to follow Me, I will awaken them from the sleep of death.  Your mouth must only speak truth, no lies.  Your life must be lived in truth, not in shades of deception.  I can only reward the truth.  Is it any wonder that most of your words fall to the ground?  I need to flow through those who are vessels of truth, and then My Words will accomplish in their lives what I intend them to.  Deal truly, live truly, speak truly!  Otherwise if you stray from the course, many will become snared and fall into the trap of the enemy.  The enemy lives in lies, you must not yield to this in any way.  Keep your eyes on Me and My Word.  I know the way and My light shines brighter in the times of darkness.  Even your darkness is light to Me.  I will lighten your valley, to see your way through.  Stay close and pay attention, observe Me, I Am the Truth and your way to victory.

     Dream, dream, be free, audacious, unshackled and uninhibited in your heart towards Me.  I have placed that 'vision' of the 'way out' and 'too much' in you.  I want to be the One to impregnate you with those things that you feel are unattainable, so that when you obtain it you will know it was because of 'Our' union.  Then you will believe Me for even greater things.  Your eyes will open to see things that are too wonderful to conceive on this side of heaven.  Yet it is for us to do My little ones.  It is for us to release in this world, 'things that eyes have not seen or ears heard.'  Expectation of the unusual and remarkable is now arising in the unfathomable part of you.  Don't depress it, let it rise up and bubble over into your live and affect and infect everyone close to you.  Be transported with My love as you run to the dry places, flooding the desert with the river of life that is cascading from your Source.  You have no idea of the gold, the vast transcendent treasure in you.  I Am excited about you, and you are about to see what restoration really means for you.  The magnificence of what I have deposited in these earthen vessels is monumental.  Now flow like rain, My glorious ones.  As you flow you will defy the enemy of your past and present.  He knew that this day was coming, when My children would awaken from their slumber and shake nations with My glory.  
     Layer by layer I Am uncovering the depth of you.  Each layer will require a new step of faith from you until you arrive in the full dawning of your destiny.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     Keep your eyes and mind stayed on the details that I Am performing on the behalf of My Bride.  I Am setting the climate for her to beautify herself by the washing of My Word.  The purification process is to bring her away for sanctification.  Trusting Me for all that will cause her to attract those that are in need of My love.  Her sweet fragrance will come from her intimate time with the Lover of her soul.  She must come away with Me to the high places of testing, where she will be made stable and immovable.  I am going to blow over her garden a different kind of wind that she has not known yet.
     Look out at the world, where all stability is being shaken, and turn to Me, for I Am never moved.  The global condition of the earth is affecting all things, plants, animals, insects and humans.  This change has created new and different climates in various places.  It has altered the oceans and seas, as well as the earth quaking in diversified ways.  Soon fires are about to erupt from the earth.  The heavenly atmosphere will show unusal signs and wonders that have not been seen or recorded to this date.  I Am fulfilling My word, and yet My Bride is preoccupied with her temporary time here.  I have sent notice time and again, to let My Bride know that it is high time for her to awaken herself to love.  The season is upon us and there is much to be done in our time of preparation.  You must be without the blemishes of this world.  I have made for you, My dear ones, a 'spiritual sauna' that will be a deep cleanser, that if yielded to it will remove things that are deep-rooted in you.  It will penetrate and arouse in you affections and remembrance of our Home.  You will look longingly for Me as you have done in the past.  You will not be content to settle for only 'seen things' on the earth.  You will sharpen your sights for all that is above.  Heaven-ward!
     I Am coming for you, and you can believe Me.  I Am reliable!  I will keep My promises.  You must be familiar with My promises, in order to expect Me.  Don't be found fighting against My Word, know My times and My seasons.  I do not want you to be ignorant of My ways of accomplishing My Word.  There have been many times My Church has prayed against My divine times.  It is imperative that you become more intimate with Me through My written Word and those times of sweet worship.  This will stimulate what lies within you, ears to hear Me.  You will have an unction from Holy Spirit, who takes of Mine and reveals it to you, My Bride.  This present glory that is soon to be revealed in My Bride will astound even her.  She does not really know herself; the caliber of anointing and glory that is about to be disclosed.  So, stay in the process, do not quit.  Some have let go because of deceitful lusts, riches and longings, that they perceived were being filled.  You have held your hand steady in Mine.  You will reap a bountiful harvest in this life and in the one to come.

Good Morning,

     Keeping our mind stayed on Him, will keep us in perfect peace.  Again the Lord has encouraged us to remember who we are and Who He is.  Father God wants us to stay heavenly-minded in order to make us more profitable to earth.  Truly, this will only be accomplished by out of this world encounters.  We as sons and daughters of God, must be about imitating Him here on earth, while desiring to be Home with our Lord and Savior.  This is when we actually demonstrate the glories of heaven.  "For instance, we know that when these bodies of ours are taken down like tents and folded away, they will be replaced by resurrection bodies in heaven, God-made, not handmade—- and we'll never have to relocate our 'tents' again.  Sometimes we can hardly wait to move———and so we cry out in frustration.  Compared to what's coming, living conditions around here seem like a stopover in an unfurnished shack, and we're tired of it!  We've been given a glimpse of the real thing, our true home and our resurrection bodies!  The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what's ahead.  He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we'll never settle for less". (II Corinthian 5:1-5; The Message Bible) We must continue to stir ourselves up and rekindle the flames towards our God, the lover of our soul.  If we keep our eyes on this temporary dwelling place, we will become faint.  Stir means to rekindle, to cause the slightest movement or condition; to change position of; to excite to activity or strong feelings; to call forth; to incite, to flame up; to arouse and awaken.  No matter the conditions or the times that we are living in, we must stir ourselves to love and remembrance of our home.  This is what Paul was telling young Timothy.  Timothy was in ministry, yet it was in the midst of great trials, testings and persecutions.  "I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice.  And I know the same faith continues strong in you.  This is why I remind you to fan into the flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid hands on you." (II Timothy 1:5-6) The KJV says, "Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift of God."  We must rekindle, ignite anew, stir up the fire that was beginning to go out.

     Most of us have loved another person.  Do you remember when that love was fresh, new and young?  Do you remember that you placed that person, first in time, thoughts, and in every other position?  Well allow me a little liberty here, as you read the next verses, place your name where Israel or Jerusalem is.  "And the Word of the Lord came to me saying, Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem (your name) saying, Thus says the Lord; I (earnestly) remember the kindness and devotion of your youth, your love after your betrothal (in Egypt) and marriage (at Sinai) when you followed Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.  Israel (your name) was holiness (something set apart from ordinary purposes, dedicated) to the Lord, the firstfruits of His harvest (of which no stranger was allowed to partake) all who ate of it (injuring you, offended and became guilty) evil came upon them says the Lord." (Jeremiah 2:1-3) Our holiness is loving God enough to obey Him with our life.  Trusting God with our life.  This causes us to be extra-ordinary, set apart for God.  Are you still trusting God through any wilderness experiences?  God still desires us to love Him as the young bride lives her husband.  Young, meaning in the first stages of growth, life and development; an immature state dependent upon a mature and experienced one.  In other words we should never out-grow God or our dependency upon Him.  Let us remind ourselves daily of the love that we have and our home that awaits us both in heaven and in the new earth and new Jerusalem.  It will cause our time here to be in proper balance.  "That's why we live with such good cheer.  You won't see us drooping our heads or dragging our feet!  Cramped conditions here don't get us down.  They only remind us of the spacious living conditions ahead.  It's what we trust in but don't yet see that keeps us going.  Do you suppose a few ruts in the road or rocks in the path are going to stop us?  When the time comes, we'll be plenty ready to exchange exile for homecoming.  But neither exile nor homecoming is the main thing.  Cheerfully pleasing God is the main thing, and that's what we aim to do, regardless of our conditions."  (II Corin. 5:6-9)

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     I have spoken time and again about the 'shaking' that would take place, both natural and spiritual.  Now you see that I am uncovering all that was underneath the surface of the soil of the heart and this earth.  Yet there will come forth from this 'shaking', a people totally dependent upon Me.  For in the midst of all of this, I will open up the portals of glory and whet My children's appetite with vivid memories of home.  Giving them more of heaven so that their desires will soar for more of Me.  An extraordinary people will arise from the fires of purification.  People that have not bowed down to the 'god of this world'.  They are coming out in order to do supernatural works in a world that is headed for despair.  They have yielded to My ability on their weaknesses.  Yes, surrendered to My grace in their lives, they are a force to be reckoned with.  Living holy and anointed lives, even when the enemy of their soul tried to snuff out the flames of My glory in their lives.  Their lifting up is of Me.    

 

     Beauty is rising up from the ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  Realize that you are truly alive, because I Am living through you.  You, My children are in the 'womb of the morning.'  It is an awakening of the true 'body of Christ.'  As the earth trembles and quakes under the pressure of sin, My 'body' is also trembling under the same pressure that has been applied.  I Am bringing forth stability from the fires so that you may reign in purity.  Even though you may have walked through the 'valley of the shadow of death', you see now that is only a looming shadow.  Out of the dust and the rubble I will bring you to a large place, a place of refreshing dreams, visions with seasons of deep winds.

     Extraordinary people for extraordinary times.  I have planned extraordinary measures for an uncommon harvest of souls.  Wherever you step there will be 'extra' to aid and assist you in Our Kingdom plan.  Signs following you that announces My Presence.  As the earth splits and the nations divide, I Am bringing wholeness to My own.  Revived hope and renewed strength to finish the course.  Just as the world has tried to corner the nation Israel and take all of her glory and diminish it, they have tried to do the same to My 'body'.  It will not and can not work for either you nor Israel.  I Am for you both, and there is no weapon that shall stand against My chosen ones.  I have placed in Israel and in My body, hidden treasures that are ready to be discovered.  Oil shall flow from both, gushers that are waiting to be tapped into.  The 'womb of the morning' is about to break open wide.  A breaker that will spring overflowing billows of new waves in My house.
