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!
Love,
Pastor D.

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.

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 place. John 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.

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.
"Yield to the Flames"
Love,
Pastor D.

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.

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.

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.
Love,
Pastor D.
