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,

    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

Good Morning,
 

    I was meditating today on this thought, 'I can't wait to go
home to see the Lord.'  Yet, even as I was sharing this thought, I
encountered several comments from other Christians, who can wait.  They
feel that there is so much that they want to see and accomplish before
Jesus comes.  If you don't mind I would like to share my feelings.  If
there is anything that I have to accomplish, I'm asking
God to make it known to me, so that I can get busy.  I can see all
things new after we come back to earth to rule and reign for all
eternity.  These are the scriptures I was directed to;
"How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven's Armies.  I long,
yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord.  With my
whole being, body, and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God." (Psalms 84:1-2)  Pine is to long for,
yearn deeply, suffer with longing, to fail in vitality; strong persistent desire or craving.  Psalms
63:1 – "O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for You.  My soul
thirsts for You: my whole body longs for You in this parched and weary
land where there is no water."

    While writing I am listening to, "Coming Back Soon", by Randy Stonehill. 
He is in earnest with desire for the Lord to come back soon, while most
saints want to postpone His arrival until some later date.  Are you in
the group that yearns?  Earnest is serious in intention and purpose and effort; sincerely zealous, with great fervency.  My
daughter is engaged to marry in July.  Well, I want you to know that not
only is she eating and drinking wedding plans, but everyone within
earshot of her will have to hear about it.  She is in earnest about her
wedding date, she is applying all of her effort, intentions and purpose
for that day.  She has a strong persistent desire and craving for her
soon to be husband.  She is in the steady mode of preparation for that
date.  That should be our state of readiness.  

    There is so much insight and revelation in the book of Esther
and her preparation for the king.  Young Hadassah or Esther was
separated with other brides that were in readiness for their king.  We
should be in separation as we are in preparation for our King!  Esther 2:8-12;  Verse 12 says, "Before each young woman was taken to the king's bed, she was given the prescribed twelve months of beauty treatments — six months with oil of myrrh, followed by six months with special perfumes and ointments."  Just think we are in that twelve months of prescribed beauty treatment. 
I am excited about it, even if it is years in the making.  I desire to
be with our King!  I hope you do also.  Let's offer thanksgivings to God our Father for His great provisions of our future with Him now and forevermore.
 
 

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord Says;


       I Am about to pour out upon My people
a blessing that there will not be room enough to receive.  Everything
that you have seen in the past will pale in comparison with what I Am
doing soon.  The world will see and know that I Am a good provider to
His own.  You are my witnesses of My goodness and My provisions.  You
will go forth and publish with your words as well as with the signs
that follow, "My Father is good"! 
    

    In the next great move, there will be a
push forward into the miraculous.  Those who have been standing and
believing Me for the fulfilling of My Word, will stand in amazement and
in awe of the performing of it.  I know that you have stood for
wholeness in your body, mind and relationships and especially in
spiritual insight.  Be amazed at the next six months at how I will make
a way.  I will cause everything to be so much easier for you, if you
believe, you will see.  You, who have shaken yourself free from the
cares and worries of this world and have boldly trusted Me as your
source, will be surprisingly pleased.  Because you have developed eyes
to see and ears to hear, you will see the supernatural and hear the way
to go.  Be aware, this is now the time to look right on, not to your
left or to the right.  I will do exactly as I have said to you over and
over again.  I Am God and not man.  I cannot lie and therefore I Am
trustworthy.  Preparation for the miraculous is most important for you. 
Study and perfect humility.  It is Me all over you.  This will keep you
on target for the Kingdom purposes.  I will bless those who bless Me.  I
Am about to overwhelm you as I overflow on you all of My best.  You have
seeded your life for this great harvest!  I Am exceedingly beyond
anything that you can perceive.  You and I are together will be
unstoppable.  Stay in the mode of preparation, stay humble, stay in
love.  Enjoy and share it, and be blessed! 

    Malachi 3:11-18; Let's read verse 13, these are the verses that the Lord placed in my heart.  "Your
words have been strong and hard against Me, says the Lord.  Yet you say,
"What do you mean?  How have we spoken against You?  You have said,
"What's the use of serving God?'  What have we gained by obeying His
commands or by trying to show the Lord Almighty that we are sorry for
our sins?  From now on we will say, "Blessed are the arrogant.  For those
who do evil get rich and those who dare God to punish them go free of
harm."

    Then those who feared the Lord spoke with
each other and the Lord listened to what they said.  In His Presence, a
scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared Him and loved to think about Him.  They will be My people, "says the Lord of Heaven's Armies.  "On the day when I act, they will be My own special treasure.  I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.  Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not."  God
is about to act on our behalf, it will be unprecedented, and everyone
will see and know the difference between the believers and the wicked. 
Those who fear and know their God and walk in His love and stay humble,
will do exploits!  Have you made your choice?  All the way for God, my
brothers and sisters.  All the way!
 

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,   

    Daniel 11:32.. "…,but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits
Know is to observe, consider and seeing; diligent to become
familiar friends; to understand and comprehend.  To recognize and have intimate understanding and familiarity through experience.  The word exploits means achieving, performing by utilizing the power, to work and cultivate; to succeed and set in order.  That's why the Word says to, "Be still and know that I Am God." (Psalms 46:10)  In other words recognize and understand through experience for yourself, by becoming familiar friends that understand the ways of God.  Stop all non-authorized activity. (those that are not authorized by God) Rely on God, trust Him.

    Let's look at one of Paul's experiencing God and becoming more familiar with His ways.  II
Corin.1:8-10; "We think you ought to know, dear brothers ans sisters
about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia.  We were
crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure and we thought we
would never live through it.  In fact, we expected to die.  But as a
result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely on God, who raises the dead.  And He did rescue us from mortal danger and He will rescue us again.  We have placed our trust in Him, and He will continue to rescue us again."  Paul became more and more acquainted and familiar with God. He became increasingly more intimate with God and saw Him as his deliverer, healer, provider, friend, counselor, and his way-maker.  His experience with God as he trusted God's Word, can be heard in Paul's
words also.  Paul boast in his confidence in knowing God, not just knowing about Him. "But my God shall supply all your need (fill to the full) according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:19)  Paul experienced and knew God and because of that intimate knowledge of God, he achieved, performed, by utilizing the power of God to work and cultivate in order to succeed in his calling.  Paul did exploits for God and the Kingdom!


The Spirit Of the Lord says;
   
    I Am shifting My people into another
level.  I Am releasing to all that have put their trust in Me, keys that
will unlock treasuries that I have kept and preserved for them.  Shift! 
Shift!    
    Wonder walkers and glory carriers are waking up to the greatness that is within.  Signs and wonders
will accompany My people that know me, it will be as it should have
been.  You were made for this and you are having your eyes enlighten to
see the richness of the inheritance you have in Me.  I have ordained
that you should walk in these good works.
   

    Reliance upon Me, will open up the flowing
rivers of the miraculous, which will become your norm.  My favor is on
you, My righteous ones that receive My instructions and made them your
delight.  This miraculous power operates effectively from the place of
love.  Stay rooted and grounded in My love.  This is the source of the
miraculous, I Am love.  Go forth and shift to the next level of My glory
and the wonders of your God!
 

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord Says;
   

    As I bring you out and over to your 'promise land',
don't forget your brothers and sisters who are making the same journey
for their crossover.  Offer to them the same comfort, encouragement,
help and support that you have received.  Remember, I have been faithful
in sending you help from on high.  Sometimes in the form of good
anointed words to heal your hurting heart.  Other times I have
given finances as a token to push you over the hill that was to much for you.  I have supplied to you whatever was necessary for your maturing.  I Am gracious and gentle to you as you transition and make the change.  My mercy kept you in My hands.
   

    I desire that you now become My ministers
of mercy to one another, as those who are walking behind you on the
same road, grow up.  You must be the consoling voice to the hurting
parts of My Body.  On the road that is contracted by pressure, I have
placed rest areas along the way, full of encouragement and mercy, to
assist and aid to make the walk of faith prosperous.  I will not forget
your labor of love that you show by serving all other saints.  I Am
measuring your seeds back to you, pressed down, shaken together and
running over.  You must make all your seeds full of love, kindness,
gentleness, long-suffering, meekness and temperance, powerful ones that
will bring to you a bountiful harvest.  Do not become selfish by not
opening your hands of love and mercy
because of your own difficulties, test and trials.  Always giving,
casting your bread on the waters, for waves will come at all times and
a variety of ways.  Harvesting in your field, make it good!  Do not
forget that your brothers and sisters are on the same narrow road as
you, be an easy marker for them to follow.
   

    I Am coming soon, to receive you.  Be a
people of unity, preferring one another.  Victory is on the horizon for
My people who will stand side by side.  Your voices ringing as one is an
intoxicating sound to Me.  With you I Am well pleased!  You are imitating
Us, We are One.
 
   

    Sometimes
as we grow up and move from some of the testing grounds of our past
spiritual process, we tend to forget when we see some younger brothers
or sisters coming the same route.  We may become a little less tolerable
of the messes they make.  We forget to offer them the same mercy that we
received from God.  We just want them to grow up and stop acting so
childish.  Yet, we were spiritual babies, children and teenagers at one
time in our walk with the Lord.  Remember, we must let love be our
foundation for everything that we do and say in the Kingdom of God.  We are always dropping seeds into our fields as well as into the lives that we are connected to in the body of Christ. 
Let's not sow seeds of doubt, fear, unbelief, impatience or unkindness. 
Remember how long-suffering Father God has been and continues to be
with you as you move to the next level, which is new to you, yet
someone else is waiting to help you.  Do you want them to offer you
kindness and long-suffering?  Let's do to others as we want others to do
to us.
   

    "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source]
of every comfort (consolation and encouragement), Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction),
so that you may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those
who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort
(consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted
(consoled and encouraged) by God." II Corin. 1:3-4

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,


    "I say to the Lord, You are my Lord; I
have no good beside or beyond You.  As for the godly (the saints) who
are in the land, they are the excellent, the noble, and the glorious,
in whom is my delight.  Their sorrow shall be multiplied who choose
another god; their drink offerings of blood will I not offer or take
their names upon my lips.  The Lord is my chosen and assigned portion,
my cup; you hold and maintain my lot.  The lines have fallen for me in
pleasant places; yes, I have a good heritage" (Psalms 16:2-6)

I hear the Spirit saying;


    There is coming a separation between the
wheat and the tares.  I have allowed them to grow together to give
the tares an opportunity to choose Me above all the gods of their
heart.  Yet many have let pride take root and it is like a wild weed,
which takes little to grow out of control.  It has tried to choke the
life from the true plants in My garden, but their roots are down deep
in Me and in My Word.  Pride, which causes deception, blinds the tares
from seeing and from hearing the truth.  Yet I have spoken tenderly and
clearly so that they could hear.  I have made it easy to see where they
were going astray, yet they continued in the same crooked way.  This
great time of transition was an issue of the heart.  I needed My people
to see their own hearts and purge it with My Word.  Those who have a pure heart
all things are pure, but to those whose hearts are defiled all things
are defiled.  I have sent a message to My house to purify their hearts
and their hands, for only those who have a pure heart will truly see
their God.  There are realms in My Spirit that requires a pure and a
humble heart to behold all that I have for you in this season.  I resist
the prideful and I give My ability to the humble.  Pride brings only
shame, destruction, contention, deception, arrogance, and it will bring
you down.  This transition time was allowed to rid My people of any
element of pride.  Pride that caused My people to trust in other gods. 
True humility makes one powerful and mighty in My Word.  My children
have heard My voice and have readied themselves by cleansing themselves
from the stains of pride along with other blemishes.  I Am cleaning My
house from the spots that have resisted My chastening, motivated by My
love.  They have allowed themselves to become dry clouds blown about by
winds.  They have become withered, uprooted trees without any fruit, following their own desires. 
    I will come for the church that has
prepared her heart in purity of My Word.  She has perfumed herself by
staying and lingering in my presence.  They know that I Am their
ration, their share, their allotment, and I Am more than enough.  I Am all
that is needed.  I Am That I Am.  I Am the All-Sufficient!  Those who
have found Me as their portion have found their true heritage and
inheritance.  Those who have developed eyes to see beyond this moment in
time, know that I Am.  In this consecration, the true plant will not be
so easily deceived by all that is around them, they have, on purpose
set their eyes on Me.  They sense the season has changed and are in
ready mode.  It is not just about today but it is for eternity as well. 
They are watching and are on alert, staying ready in their hearts as
well as keeping clean hands.  I Am maturing My Church, so that she
is prepared for her appointed and set time.

 

    I was going to say that the word in Psalms 16:5; portion means allotment, flattery, inheritance, part; something weighed out ex. a division, a lot.  Simply
put God is our estate, He is what we have received as our own.  He is
our invaluable possession (only in terms to be understood).  Our
allotment is something (Someone) set aside by distribution or
assignment for special use.  God is our part and He has given to us our
part or portion for our specific assignment.  He is and He has
everything that we need.  We have a good heritage.  Our legacy is God and
all that He is, His reward is with Him!  When all else fails or becomes
obsolete, our portion remains never-ending.

Good Morning,

    [What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living!  Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring (and He will strengthen your heart). Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord. ( Psalms 27:13-14)

    Everyone of us, as a child of God, have experienced some kind of tribulations, trials, testing or simply having difficulties.  God's Word encourages us to be brave and of good courage and to let our heart be stout and enduring.  Brave and of good courage means to
be resolute in facing odds; able to meet danger or endure pain or
hardship without giving in to fear; intelligent use of faculties esp.
under duress; be constant and obstinate during difficulty; strength
enabling one to venture, persevere and withstand danger, fear or
difficulty firmly; and confidence that encourages and sustains.  As we fight to maintain and keep our courage and bravery, God will then strengthen our hearts, keep them stout or enduring.  Strengthen
means to be alert; to confirm; to be made steadfast minded, to be
established; fortified; harden (so as not to slide or vacillate); to
increase and prevail.  The word heart is figuratively used for the feelings, will and intellect.  So as we wait on God (wait means to patiently endure with hope and expectation)
maintaining our bravery and courage, God will cause our will, feelings
and intellect to become alert, fortified, and increase and prevail.  We
will not slide or vacillate but become harden to the difficulties, and
not be taken out by them.  In fact Psalms 29:11, says, "The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.'
    I believe that I will see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living.  Goodness means the best and to be or do better; to do or make well, to go well, joy and gladness, beauty, sweet and pleasure.  I
want all of that and most importantly God wants me to have it.  So I
choose to believe like the psalmist.  How about you?  Let's be brave and
courageous and say with the psalmist, "surely goodness (beauty, sweet pleasures, the best, joy and gladness,) and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.(Psalms 23:6)

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says;
   

    A demonstration of My power and glory
is about to be seen and felt like never before, in My House and from My
House.  First I Am cleaning and shaking My House from all that has
defiled it.  I Am rekindling a fire in My House and all weeds and tares
will be blown away as chaff in the wind.  Next, after the House is
cleaned all that I have given to My children to live Godly lives will
be unleashed and it will be a flooding in their hearts.  They will be
overwhelmed with My goodness to do goodness.  A disclosing of secrets I
will reveal so that the eyes of My children will be enlightened. Signs
and wonders will cause My little ones to shine ever so brightly.  For
when and where there is darkness, any light is welcomed and received. 
Great darkness will come and My great lights will accomplish great
deeds in My name.  I have decreed and declared that My children will be
bold and uncover the works of darkness and render their enemy harmless
and make him ineffective in their lives.
   

    Matthew 21:16 says "……Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have perfected praise?"  The word perfected means complete thoroughly, ex. to repair or adjust, to mend; to make perfectly join together, prepare, restore.  Praise
is vital to our victory in the days ahead.  Praise completes thoroughly
and praise repairs and adjust us.  Praise mends and prepares as it
restores us.  In Matthew, Jesus, the living Word was quoting from Psalms 8:2;  "out of the mouths of babes and sucklings You have ordained strength (praise) because of Your enemies, that You might still the enemy and the avenger."  Ordained is to set; to found; ex. settle, consult, appoint, establish, lay for a foundation; to instruct, set for sure. 
God has given praise in order to set us up for the present and our
future.  When we praise, it will settle us and establish and set us for
sure in the Word.  As we praise God we will receive instructions that appoints.  Our praising God helps us to lay a foundation that won't give under pressure.  Strength means force, security, boldness, might, power, strong, and majesty.  Our
praise sets us up completely and thoroughly while repairing, adjusting,
mending, establishing a force of security.  Our praise restores our
foundation of power, might and boldness.  Our praise stills the enemy.
    Still is to cause to desist from exertion;
causes (our enemy) to cease and to fail; suffer and to be lacking;
(causing the avenger) to leave; to put away; to be interrupted and to
have a loss of time.  Praise as it builds
us up, settling and establishing for us a force of security, at the
same time it is restoring and making us bold it causes the enemy to
desist in his tactics and maneuvers against us.  The devil suffers a
loss of time and praise interrupts his plans and cases them to fail and
to be lacking.  We can rid ourselves of him by our sustained ordained
strength which is praise.    

    Praise is to
throw, ex. a stone, an arrow as in worship with extended hands; to
cast and shoot by giving thanksgiving; to use the hands and making
confessions.  II Corin. 10:4; "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds."  Our
praise is a powerful weapon that we can aim at the enemy to bring him
down while lifting our God higher and building us up.  Let's praise
Him consistently!

midst.  Everything has been done in preparation for greater moments than
you can see right now.  In order that My glory will be seen.  I have been
uprooting things in you that I never planted.  Tearing down, plucking
up, overthrowing and destroying others, so that the field will be clean
to build up and plant.  You are My garden, My treasure, My Bride.  My
fragrant ones are about to be able to release the powerful aroma that
will attract many in this end-time harvest.  My Bride has begun the
process of purging herself so that We can blow Our life-giving perfume
to all that would be saved.  During the most trying times she has not
denied My name and did not quit.  Now she has been refreshed by the
water of Life within her.  My sealed fountain is flowing down the
mountains of difficulties.  She is willing to flow outside of the past
confinements in her heart, she has faced the fears and overcome them
by My love.  My Bride cannot be stopped.  The enemy is aware that My
Bride has arisen from her slumber and has prepared herself for that
great Day.  So, I say to you My beloved one, Rise up and let's take the
nations for Our Kingdom.  Even in the midst of a great famine, both
spiritual and natural, My Bride will not stumble or falter, she has
developed hinds feet on the steep places of life.  Come, let us enjoy
the fruit of Our labor.  How great is the goodness that I have stored up
for you because you love Me.  I will lavish all My goodness upon you,
even in the midst of your troubles.  I have kept and preserved you for
such a time as this.  This is Our time!  I will bless you before the
watching world.

        Let us look at Matthew 15:13; "Jesus replied, "Every plant not planted by My heavenly Father will be uprooted.."  The word uproot means to tear away, to destroy, to forsake, pluck out, utterly pull out. 
The difficult circumstances and situations that we have faced have been
allowed in our lives, so that we can learn to forsake or let go of
those weights that we were trying to carry.  Our father has used these
times to tear away from us those things that we planted and the root of
them were strangling His life out of us.  Let's work with Him, and rid
ourselves of the unnecessary weights and run with patience the race
that is set before us. (Hebrews 12:1) Our change has
come!

Love,

Pastor D.
