Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

There are multiple outside changes that you will see in this world and its system. You are not to be moved by what you are seeing, you are to be moved only as I direct through and by My Word. The earth is reeling back and forth like a drunkard under the weight of sin and transgression. Even though this world will shake and totter, I have commanded that it will not harm you. You will be untouchable if you will continue to be found under the shelter of My Word. My children do not live by the realities of this world system, but by the truth of My Word. Know that every outward change is in line with My prophetic Word, in order to bring about My end results. It has been spoken and now it is running to be fulfilled. Be glad about it!

Those who have allowed Me to realign and reposition their lives for the promised blessings, by yielding to the transitioning season, will see their desired haven. My changes were not from past hurts, bitterness, neither from strife or your own preconceived resolutions. My changes, have not come from a place of the works of the flesh. The changes that I have allowed to work in you are driven by a desire to fulfill and walk in My Word. You do not need to confer with flesh and blood concerning the perfected work that I Am doing in you. The works of flesh diminish your capacity for change. I have given to you a heart to be turned towards the changes that I desire in you, so that you may partake of My goodness. Surround yourselves with those that are running to the goal to win. They are not being derailed by the obstacles of living, they keep on the paths of righteousness. Their hearts belong to Me.

I have heard the longings of the heart of My true bride. I Am showing Myself strong on their behalf. I will place over My faithful bride, favor, at this time. I will pavilion the faithful under a cloud of favor. My children will come forth with all manner of precious treasure, both spiritual and natural. Hear Me, My Church must not be stagnant in her love for Me. She must awake, arise and let the world see her great love for Me, by simply cleaving to My Word. Many around are letting go of their first love that We once shared, that saddens Me, yet I keep My eyes upon those that are growing deeper still in love with Me and My Word. I have hearkened to the voice of faith that is motivated by My love.

I have always had a remnant throughout all times, and I will have a remnant even now! They are cut away from the cloth of the ordinary to become the extraordinary. This is the day of new beginnings for My holy remnant. The light of My glory will reveal to My faithful ones the hidden revelations that I have kept for them at this season. I have ordained that these good works be prepared in you for this day. Because you have put your complete trust in Me alone, your way will be like a well lit highway!

As I heard this Word from the Lord, this is the scripture that was highlighted in my spirit. Amos 9:13; "Behold the days are coming, says the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed and the mountains shall drop sweet wine and all the hills shall melt (that is everything heretofore barren and unfruitful shall overflow with spiritual blessings)." All that is left for us is to do is obey, believe and receive.

"I have heard the longing of the heart of my true bride"

Love,

Good Morning,

I would like to share with you a Word from the Lord that our church received on Sunday the 3rd of January 2010. The background of this message has to do with a deep season of worship that we were in at our church. The Lord had directed us to seek His face until… Because of men faces and even some of the people's desire to stop having so much worship, we shifted back to the norm. This is God's reply:

The Spirit of the Lord says;

You were running so hard to the beat and the light of My glory, who hindered you? Was it not the enemy of your soul? For he knows that as you keep running towards Me the light of My glory would turn into an all consuming fire. A fire that would destroy all that has hindered and kept you from truly hearing My voice. Your worship and praise to Me was a sweet burning sacrifice. Your worship created hunger and desire for more and more of Me, and a thirst to live in My Presence. You fell away because of religious notions and ideas. Now, I Am awakening you to pass the stares of old religious ideas that have kept My children eating old stale manna. Come up to the fresh and the new! Let Me surprise you with all that I have to drench your lives with My goodness and mercy, My power and glory. Yes, I will saturate you with Myself.

Bring to your remembrance how you started to run at the beginning of this year past. Fire, wind and rain, I used them all to sweep and clean My house, for you are My house. My Word was being intertwined with the power of My Spirit. Your worship was alive! Now I Am breathing this fresh new breath upon you to recover and regain what was yours. Jump into the river of My flowing glory. Be covered over with all of your Great God.

In order to come up higher, you must forget about yourselves, and the opinion of man as to what true worship really is. I will make known to you My desire, which is to be truly worshiped. Let Me lead you into the quest of genuine worship, for I will take you from glory to glory. Keep turning up the fires of worship and the fire of My Word and you will find the real you, for it is meant to burn all flesh up, so that all that is left is holy. You once labored so hard to enter into My rest, do not fall short now. Restore yourselves back to the 'love' of worshiping Me. Press beyond the curtain of the flesh and reason and walk boldly into the holy of holies. Enter in to the holiest and be made whole.

Good Morning,

The year 2010 will hold for us plenty of adventures of faith. The Lord has been speaking to me about delighting myself in Him. Too often we are waiting on that "something' or that 'someone' to give us delight, our delight should always be based upon our relationship with God. Then our lives would become more stable and fixed, because all of the other things are temporal and fleeting. Then and only then we would enjoy every moment of our lives, based on our delight in God and not in the ever changing 'things'. Delight means a high degree of pleasure or satisfaction. Delight is a more permanent pleasure than joy and not dependent on sudden excitement. This delight comes with its own reward. Psalms 37:4 says, "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you your heart's desire." Now I am advocating that we just take pleasure in God because He is good, even when we are not aware of His goodness to us. To just 'do' the Word of God since it is our part of the covenant. We must keep pursuing the works of righteousness, until our heart's desire is His Word, first and upper most in our lives. "I take delight (a high degree of pleasure and satisfaction) in doing your will, my God for your instructions are written on my heart." (Psalms 40:8) Our focus this year should be in taking pleasure and satisfaction in doing the Word even when others are not. Isaiah wrote these verses after telling about all of the blessings and benefits that would come to those who are planted like great oaks in the Lord. Are you one of those great oaks, one that is rooted and grounded in His Word and not easily moved by circumstances whether conditions are favorable or not? "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments and as a bride adorns herself with jewels." (Is. 61:10) Notice the small word will – to make a choice, willingness, intention and consent; it expresses simple desire; used to express frequent or habitual action or tendencies. Greatly rejoice means to the highest degree and intensity; magnanimously, be glad in and take great delight in and pleasurable satisfaction. With preceding promises such as; double share of honor; ancient ruins being rebuilt; foreigners being your servants; feeding on treasures of nations; and possessing a double portion of prosperity; Isaiah's great delight is in the Lord, not in the 'things' that the Lord provides. This year as we delight in the Lord He will in turn give us the desires of our heart. So let's take great pleasure and receive the highest degree of satisfaction in the Lord. Let's make an habitual action and frequent tendencies to do the will of the Lord.

Good Morning,

As the year ends and the new year is upon us, we can expect more
changes. We will find that most of the effective changes are those that
will happen within us. We will see that we are made of tougher and
greater quality of character than we perceived. We are made in His
image. This will enable us to keep on moving closer to the Father,
while others that may have run with you at one time drop out. Here is
the message that the Lord spoke to our church on December 27.

The Spirit of the Lord says;

Do not fret over the transitions
and changes that I have allowed in your life. Most of the things that
have been removed; whether people, familiar situations or
circumstances, would have obstructed you from reaching the ultimate goal
or position that I Am bringing you to. Some familiarities would have
been an obstacle, while others would have been a deterrent to keep you
from running unhindered. Others would have caused you to be snared by
the enemy of your soul and stopped completely. Let them go! These
obstructions in your life have hindered you from the clarity of great
revelation. These revelations are necessary in order for these times
of transition. These changes have all been about bringing My people up
to a higher level, changing how you see and what you see as being
genuine and real. Now you must release the load of weights that have
caused your run to become sluggish and tiresome to you. Your flight
will be glorious, as you and I, shake from you all that would detain
you from reaching your proper place and position in Me.

I have already spoken to you that
the way would be narrow and not many will choose that way. The way
is made so that your eyes should only look forward and stay focused on
Me and all that is vital to the Kingdom and its advancement. This
narrow, constricted passageway will lead you to the wide open spaces of
living in the realms of My Spirit. My Holy Spirit
has been directing your course, you may have struggled on this course,
yet you did not fight against Holy Spirit. Because you chose to yield
to Holy Spirit, you will reach your destination with more power, more
glory, more anointing, more wisdom and more understanding of Me and My
ways. You have now entered into a new position and place of authority,
because of your endurance during times of transition. New keys are now
placed in your hands for the opening of doors that you thought were
locked to you. You will enter boldly now without fear or shame. You
will walk into your promised territory, holding your head high, for you
have kept the faith and stayed true to Me and My Word. Your focus
remained on Me and the Kingdom, even through the darkest times of
change. For your faithfulness you will abound with blessings and
rewards. You were not lead astray by the lust of the flesh, the lust of
the eyes, or the pride of life. These three have slain many strong men
of faith, yet, your love for Me remained strong. I Am well pleased with
you, My children. Keep moving on the path of holiness and your
destination will always be glorious! Stay focused and My light will
forever brighten your steps into the right position of holiness.

Love,

Pastor D.

Ears to Hear

Good Morning,

We will continue to discuss holiness of the heart, which is simple obedience. We saw that King David
had a repentant heart, when his sin was revealed by the Prophet Nathan.
There was even serious consequences of his sin, even after he had
repented. When we sow seeds, there is an expected harvest, whether good
or bad. God is not mocked whatever seeds we sow that and that alone
will bring our harvest. (Gal.6:7) The scripture goes on to tell us; "For
he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the
flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the
Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." "But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. " (Gal.6:8 and verse 4)

Now, let's look at the heart of another king and how he responded when the sin of his heart was revealed. Remember a simple definition for holiness is obedience to God and His Word with a yielded heart of humility. We
will pick up the account after Samuel the prophet told Saul the king,
to wait until he came to meet with the king and offer the sacrifices of
The Lord for the armies of Israel. You can read I Samuel 13:1-14. "
Saul waited seven days, according to the set time Samuel had appointed.
But Samuel had not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from
Saul. So Saul said, Bring me the burnt offering
and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering [which he
was forbidden to do]. And just as he finished offering the burnt
offering,
behold, Samuel came! Saul went out to meet and greet him. Samuel said,
What have you done? Saul said, Because I saw that the people were
scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days
appointed, and that the Philistines assembled at Michmash…. So I forced myself to offer a burnt offering." (that is usually how we say that we ended up in sins, shortcomings, faults etc.) "And
Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly! You have not kept the
commandment of the Lord your God which He commanded you; for the Lord
would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your
kingdom will not continue; the Lord has sought out [David] a man after
His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince and ruler
over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded." We
must obey God in the simple things, that is the testing and proving
ground for the one who will obey. We can not go around picking and
choosing what we'd like to do and nullifying the rest of God's Word, because it is difficult on our flesh.

Now let's see if there was a heart change in king Saul.
Samuel gives Saul a Word from the Lord, that he was to utterly destroy
all of the Amalekites, men, women, infants , ox, sheep, camels and
donkeys. We know that Saul took the king of the Amalekites alive, and
he kept the best of the sheep, ox, camels, all that was good, Saul
kept. Listen to the voice of the Lord; "Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, I regret making Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not performed My commands. And Samuel was grieved and angry [with Saul] and he cried all night." (I Samuel 15:10-11). Samuel
went to meet Saul and of course he heard and saw Saul's disobedience to
the Lord. Saul, blamed his sin and disobedience on everybody else.
Samuel reminded Saul that when he was small in his own eyes, God made
him ruler over Israel. He told him again of the assignment that the
Lord sent him on, to utterly destroy the Amalekites. Yet, Saul
consistently said that he did obey God. (I Samuel 15:18-20) "And Samuel said, Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." Listen, to the very next words, get it in your heart! "For rebellion (disobedience to God's Word) is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness (insisting on your way, becoming hardhearted to God) is
as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the
Lord, He has also rejected you from being king. And Saul said to
Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the
Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their
voice. Now, I pray you pardon my sin and go back with me that I may
worship the Lord.(verse 23-24) Do
you notice the difference of the heart of Saul compared to the heart of
David? Saul hasn't yet repented of his sin. He wants to look right in
the eyes of his people. The words that he is saying are not coming from
a broken and contrite heart,(the one that God will not despise). They
are coming from a prideful and arrogant heart, that needs to be noticed
as one that is respected. Why do you say that Pastor D? Let's look at
Saul's heart. "And as Samuel turned to go away, Saul seized the skirt of Samuel's mantle and it tore. And Samuel said to him, The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it
to a neighbor of yours who is better than you. (David) And also the Strength of Israel will not lie or repent; for He is not man that He should repent. Saul said I have sinned, yet honor me now, I pray you. Before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord your God.' (verses 27-30)

Saul did reap his harvest, for not repenting. He
lost the kingdom and also lost his mind and the respect of the people
that he was trying to impress. Obeying God is better than any sacrifice
that you think is more worthy than yielding to His Word. When we sow to
the flesh we reap a harvest of death and decay. Remember, "If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. But
if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword; for the
mouth of the Lord has spoken it." (Isaiah 1:19-20) It is the heart that consents, or is willing to obey that ends up obeying. Will to obey and you will obey!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says;

    All that hear and hearken to My voice
in these times when confusion attempts to cause you to be moved,
will from my Word receive double honor. Stand and believe Me because of
My Word and I will give you double for your shame. Those who are being
led by My Word and not by their emotions or by their circumstances and
all who will not give up will reap the rewards of their harvest. As the
days become more and more difficult, some that sat at My table will
leave My house for the momentary pleasures that bring a lifetime of
misery. Yet, I will have a remnant that will stay true and faithful
to Me and My Word. I and my Word are one and that will never change. I
Am watching those who are faithful to My Word, so that I may shower
over them blessings. They will be My Josephs' in this season. Families
will be preserved because of their faithfulness to do My Word. I will
instruct them in the night season with dreams and visions. They will
have witty inventions and creative ideas in a time when all seems
lost. Supernatural wisdom will be given to them, because they have
kept themselves pure and holy. Just like Joseph they will refuse to be
dictated to by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the
pride of life. They know how to run when faced with sin for a season.
They will still be holy. This will be the holy remnant that have kept
themselves as virgins in this world, choosing to be holy vessels in
these last days. To be the dwelling place for My glory to shine forth.
My glory will go forth through the wisdom and abilities that My holy
people will exhibit to a world that is in chaos. Peace, I speak to my
children, peace I command to rest upon My obedient ones. Be empowered
to prosper in every area of your life. I have commanded My angel army
to be at your side, to assist in all of the kingdom affairs. You will
succeed and nothing will hinder. All that the enemy thought would
hinder you will turn around and annihilate his plans and purposes
against you. You will step over his snares and traps this season and
not give his plans a second thought, because you will cast down every
high thing, every lie and cunning device. They are old devices that are
known to Me and the Kingdom, deceitful, prideful and full of lies. Be
strong in Me and declare boldly to the spirit of the enemy, I will not
stop, go back or give up.  Have a single vision now, do not be
distracted, run to win.

Many may fall at your right and left, but
because you have made Me your Refuge, you will be stable. I Am going
through My garden to remove the tares that have grown and entangled
itself around my true plant. Draw your energy from the deep roots you
have in Me. My children that have placed their trust in Me will grow
deeper in Me, for now more than ever they know that I Am their true
hope. This transition has hemmed you in to Me and my Word. We are truly
becoming One.

Love,

Pastor D.

Scripture Reference; Isaiah 61:6-9;-You will be called priests of the Lord, ministers of our God. You will feed on the treasures of the nations and boast in their riches. Instead of shame and dishonor, you
will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double portion
of prosperity in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. For, I
the lord love justice. I hate robbery and wrongdoing. I will faithfully
reward My people for their suffering and make an everlasting covenant
with them. Their descendants will be recognized and honored among the
nations. Everyone will realize that they are a people that the Lord has
blessed.

Good Morning,

As we continue to delve into the final frontier of holiness, we
must remember that our hearts are the ground that the seed of the word
will produce in. Therefore it is imperative to keep our hearts tilled with a continued watering from the Word of God, otherwise it is easy for you to harden your heart against the Word and especially those who bring truth of the Word to us. (read–Mark 4: 12-20)

The prophetic Word can and does foretell, exhort, encourage,
warn and instruct. All of us love to hear and receive the Word that
encourages, exhorts, and even foretells as long as it benefits us. Yet,
warning and instructing with the authority of God's voice and His Word
are as much a part of the prophetic as anything else. You must always
keep a teachable and humble heart and be willing to change. The ground
of your heart will determine your future fruit. We will examine several
examples of the Prophets speaking to Kings and those in authority and
the responses of the ground of their hearts.

Today, let's look at one whose ground was pliable and humble,
David. David's sin was clearly revealed to the Prophet Nathan. Read II Samuel 12:1-11; God
uses Nathan to correct, rebuke, forewarn and foretell of David's
future, because of his sin of adultery and murder. Let's read verses
12-13, here Nathan is prophesying the word of the Lord to King David. "Thus says the Lord, Behold I will raise up evil against you out of
your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give
them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of
this sun.
For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel.,
and before the sun. And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the
Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord also has put away your sin;
you shall not die."

David's sin
was exposed by the Lord to save his soul from hell. David the king,
repented when the prophet uncovered his unholiness. David humbled his
heart to the truth of God's Word
brought by the prophet, even though his sin had consequences that were
dire. Now, remember, David was king, he could have had Nathan
executed, put out, thrown in prison, etc. We all know that when truth is
revealed and sin is uncovered, most of us would allow pride to raise
its ugly head, by being hurt, offended or mad. We must never be foolish
enough to allow the pride of heart to deceive us.(Obad.
3) "A man's pride will bring him low, but he who is of a humble spirit
will obtain honor. By pride and insolence comes only contention (anger,
madness), but with the well-advised is skillful and Godly wisdom. When
swelling and pride come, then emptiness and shame come also, but with
the humble (those who are lowly, who have been pruned or chiseled by
trial, and renounce self) are skillful and Godly wisdom and soundness."(Prov. 29:23; 13:10; 11:2) When
God deals with our faults, shortcomings or sins, we should choose the
heart of David, a humble one that is well advised, obtains honor,
renounces self and receives Godly wisdom. The prideful heart will bring
you low, causes only strife, contention, anger, and a puffed up
swelling that defies God and His Word. Finally, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Prov.16:18) God is shaking His House, He is cleaning us, be washed by the water of His Word. Yield to His voice! Be humble.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says;

In your life I have started to mend
what has been altered in the transition process that you have gone
through. Some of you have allowed what was meant for your good, to hold
you back. The tearing away from the familiar was designed to catapult
you into your destiny. Yet, you have sorrowed at the changes that I
have sent your way. Look now, and you will begin to see My purpose for
the shifts that I have allowed. You are not so easily sidetracked by
the lies and deceptions of the enemy as you were in times past. See,
now your desire has grown towards Me and you want more truth in your
life. In the early part of the season of change you were resistant to
My alterations that I caused your steps to walk in. Now, you want to
see yourself be transformed into My image more that all other things. I
have cut away from My children that would allow Me, things that were
causing them to be tattered and worn and not able to carry My fresh
oil. This cleansing has come to all that will stand in My house as a
royal priesthood. I Am now sending fires of purification into My
household! Repentance will be heard from Family, truth, purity and
justice will be shouted from the rooftops of all of the watchmen that I
have called upon the wall. They see what is coming over the horizon! With the eyes of eagles they can see afar off, and they warn with My
Words, for My children to return to holiness. Declare you among the
nations and publish it as the ambassadors of my Kingdom, set up a
standard, raise it high! Righteousness will be known in My house.

For, I the Lord will judge the whole
earth in righteousness. How long will the land mourn, and all creation
groan and travail as they await, for My sons to rise up and be awakened
to their destiny and the great calling? I Am shaking you, My children.
I Am shaking My house and with it comes a fresh spring cleaning, all
clutter and useless idols of heart and body will be swept out as I
shake. Do not try to hold on to them, let it flow freely away from you.
I Am giving the new for the old and tattered garment, that My bride has
been wearing. Your white garments had become pale. I have let the
circumstances in your life bring you to this place, to the place of
repentance and prayer, to seek My face. Look at Me as your All. So that
I may wash you afresh. I have covered you so that others would not see
your nakedness. I have altered your attitude towards Me in the secret
place. I Am glad to see you as My humble, holy child, simply trusting
Me for your everything. We will experience days of great adventures, as
We become One. I Am, after all working it out for your good. Do not
fear anything that comes to this world, for you must remember, your end
will always be good!

Love,

Pastor D.

Ears to Hear

Everyone of us likes to hear cheers and encouraging words from the Lord. Yet, II Timothy 3:16-17; "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work." God
and His Word is not all about our feelings and saying only what we want
to hear. He is a Father like none other. His Word is true and the final
authority. God has always wanted a 'holy nation', a people set apart
for and to Him. A people that did not walk their lives out like everyone else around you. If we love God, then we love His Word and will allow it to correct us. I Peter 2:9; "But you are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people: that you may show forth the praises of Him (set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him) who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." All of us that believe God's Word
and love Him are in a covenant, we have our part to do, as well as
God's does with His promises. Sometimes we get so caught up in what God
can do for us, that we forget about what we are to do. Doing is not a
Christian curse word. Our works outside of being saved cannot save us, but now that we are saved we do have works. Listen to James
2: 14-18; "What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you
have faith but don't show it by your works (deeds, actions)? Can that
kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or
sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, "Good-bye and have a
good day; stay warm and eat well"- but then you don't give that person
any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by
itself isn't enough. Unless it produces good works (deeds,actions), it
is dead, useless. Now someone may argue, "Some people have faith;
others have good deeds."
But I say, "How can you show me your faith if you don't have good works
(deeds,actions)? I will show you my faith by my good works
(deeds,actions)."

Our holiness
can be seen, for it is in actions and deeds, works as we simply obey
God's Word. I will share briefly what each description of who we are
called to be spoken of in I Peter 2:9, but remember be just as excited about being, "a holy nation and a peculiar people" as you do over the rest. Chosen
generation, refers to being select, elect, favorite, marked for favor
to receive special privileges; we are the objects of God's divine
favor. Royal priesthood means to be kingly in nature; ancestry from the
King; belonging to royalty and nobility. The order of priests with the
authority to administer in the name of Deity. Okay,
I'll shout about it too! Now, from this place we must deal with the Word
that has been in the archives hidden under love, forgiveness and
humility and plain ole' doing right. Holy nation; it refers to a community (the body of Christ)
of people composed of one or more nationalities that are sacred. Which
means spotless, blameless sanctified, consecrated; set apart from the
menial everyday usage; set apart for the use of Deity; laid aside for
the selfless purpose of worship; filled with complete devotion to God.
Peculiar people means to be distinct (not like everybody else)
belonging exclusively; independent of other people; special and
particular; exempt from ordinary people, an exclusive group of people.
Now here is the beginning of pursuing holiness. We must not act like
everybody else, not in our deeds, works, behavior or our responses. Hebrews 12:14; "Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no man will ever see the Lord." Sounds like
the pursuit of holiness should be one of the first things on our list of things to do in the Kingdom of God. Next time we will pursue (follow hard after in order to overtake, to seek to attain or accomplish; to practice and follow close), so that we might display the perfections and virtues of God

No more compromising will be heard from the remnant of the true Church. They realize that my Word is true and a strangers voice they will not listen to. Just like a quilt they are being sown to those that are wise and rely only on My Word. The keys of wisdom are in the treasury of My Word and the wise are found eating their full at My table. Trainable and teachable makes it easy for them to receive the hidden treasure in My Word that directs their steps and keep them steady on the path. This is why the wise can hear My voice direct them on the narrow way, even when others choose to walk on the broadway that leads to death. Everything that pertains to life and god-likeness can be found in the treasury of My Word. Every wise man can be found digging deeper. Your anointing is found in being in the ordained steps that I have for you. My Spirit leads and guides you on paths of righteousness, there you will see those that walk in the supernatural. They are the humble that are carriers of My power. I cry out to all to come and walk here on the heights of My glory. To all those who have gone through the valley of weeping, I have caused it to become for them pools of blessings! Yes, their trust and reliance on Me and My Word, multiplies back to them increase in strength and of My victorious power. Being revived and empowered afresh, now they go forth to deliver and set free those that have been imprisoned by the lies of the enemy. They war for the souls of those that the enemy has deceived, bringing to me the spoils of war, many souls! Lifting up my standard that repels the evil one. Destroying his territory of fear, doubt, and unbelief, they cry loud the sound of great salvation and deliverance. Now lift up your eyes and see that I have set you up to put your hands to My harvest, My strong , mighty, victorious warriors. The season of the plowman overtaking the reaper is upon Us. Do not bedistracted with the affairs of civilian living. Keep your sickle and your sword prepared. I Am hastening the appointed time, stay ready!

Love,

Pastor D.
