Your life is a tapestry, so everything from your past, and even things that you see hurting and harming you, I have delicately interwoven it into every strand of your being, and I Am using it for your good if you let Me.

 
Good morning, 
 
    A friend of mine sent me this word from the Daughters of Z.  She said it has been a word that she reads periodically to keep her encouraged in sowing good seeds. It encouraged me as well. I pray that it ministers to you again too. 
 
    Your life is a tapestry, so everything from your past, and even things that you see hurting and harming you, I have delicately interwoven it into every strand of your being, and I Am using it for your good if you let Me.  I have a way of turning those things that were meant to harm you, around for your good, and to cause it to be the most beautiful thing made by Me, and the uniqueness of this tapestry there will be none equal.  For there will be no one that has walked the path that you have and have succeeded and come out victorious, because I the Lord your God, have placed My hand upon you.  I have called you, even before you were formed and I knew you, yes I knew you intimately.  So I knew every detail and everything that you would go through, nothing has taken Me aback, nothing has caught Me off guard, nothing says the Lord.  I have woven it into your being, if you let Me, for it is all based upon you, I use those things to make a stronger you.  If you will not allow anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness to hinder this delicately woven beautiful tapestry, you will be amazed at what I will bring out. There are things on the inside of you, the ability to touch others, there on the inside of you that no one else has, but you.  The enemy has caged you in with lies, telling you that you are no good and that you are of no avail, but I use those things says the Lord that the enemy meant to harm you with to declare that I Am faithful and that I Am good, and I Am awesome and powerful in your life.  I have the ability to take those things that the enemy has brought into your life to turn them around for My glory that men might come to Me, through you. People that never would have come, but because of the things you went through and your stand and declaring that My God is faithful and that My God is able, then I use your life as a beacon. 
     But what happens in My kingdom so often, is that My children tend to despise those that have been wounded and hurt by the affairs of this life and begin to reject them, instead of covering them with love. Thereby seeing to it that they become the beautiful eagles that I have caused them to be so that they might soar to heights unknown by man and then you will share a part of that glory.  You will be a part of that victory, you will aid their tapestry as it is being forged.  You will receive yours, whatever seed you sow that is what you will receive from, good or bad, you determine your harvest.  Do not push down or offend by your words and hurt them, and keep them from soaring.  But I say to you today, watch your words for they will come back to you, so begin to use them for good, to those who despise you, to those who you think lightly of, and to those you think lowly of.  I will exalt all who will humble themselves, I will exalt you if you follow My lead. Know that whatever a man sows that and that alone is what he will reap.  You can not get a different harvest filled with My goodness if you are sowing the wrong seeds.  I will make you a one-of-a-kind, unique tapestry, as you follow My Word.
     
    "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." (Gal. 6:7-10)
     
    "Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.  For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.  Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me." (Ps. 139:2-5) 
     
    "He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." (Eccles. 3:11)

 There is a uniting of heaven and earth happening and things are about to shake up on this planet as has been prophesied.

Good morning,
 
    There is a uniting of heaven and earth happening and things are about to shake up on this planet as has been prophesied. So I Am requiring you to find yourself in a hidden place with Me. When nothing else moves you but Me. So I am removing those things that hinder If you will let Me if you will allow Me. I Am removing those things that would hinder you from hearing and seeing Me, from moving with me. The call is going out to all of My own and I Am summoning them to this moment, for the great things that I Am about to do in My people, My children, in their midst, their hearts, their minds, through their hands, and through their lives.

    I Am about to do great and mighty things that the world has not yet seen but many have longed to see this day. My children are being prepared for this great outpouring of My Spirit and it will shake them up. For those who are not steady in Me, it will cause many to fall, but for those who are steady in Me it will wake them up into clarity.  They will run with me and will be strong in me and they will do exploits in My name. This is the clarion voice that I Am sending for My very own to wake up and arise to shine brightly in the dark to every part of the earth that has been touched by the glory of heaven that comes from within you My very own chosen ones. Those who would be ready will inherit much more. Be ready.

    "Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you—rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! (Is. 60:1)
 
    "Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light." (Rom. 13:11-12)
 
    "And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]." (Daniel 11:32)

You will begin to rise to a new place of depth with Me.  A new horizon, where you are liberated from hurts, rejections, and depression of circumstances of the past. 

 
 
Good morning,
 
    My beloved, I have tenderly drawn you aside to Myself.  Here as you LET go of the despair and disappointment of the things of yesterday, I will do a new thing in you.  You will begin to rise to a new place of depth with Me.  A new horizon, where you are liberated from hurts, rejections, and depression of circumstances of the past.  You will be radiant with new ideas and fresh new hope.  My plans for you have not faltered, they are plans to cause you to advance, as you continue to submit to My Lordship.  No, My dear ones, you have not been forsaken.  You are developing eagle's wings to be able to soar high, high above those old things that would try to ground you.  The way may look rugged and sometimes it may seem as if you are alone.  You are never alone!  I will carry you in My Arms when you become weary, for you have captured My Heart with your passion, devotion, and dedication to Me.  I will raise up and send to you My friends and My lovers to aid and assist you.  Just as Moses had Aaron and Hur, I will give you My faithful friends, those who I have approved of.  Move on into the center of My will for you.  The way may seem rough and difficult at times, but I know you, I know that you can be trusted to keep My Word all the way through.  Here neither applause nor scorn of others will sway you.  Here you will see the glorious rewards and victories that I have for you.  Walk on with Me, do not retreat or turn back to look at those graves of disappointments and rejections.
    
    I Am will be strong in you.  As you keep your eyes on Me, you may see others taking routes that I will not allow you to step on.  Do not entertain their way, for I have elite and extraordinary forces, you may be one of these.  So again, I say keep your eyes on Me, I Am your Great and Faithful Counselor.  By My counsel, you have been brought this way.  Your way is not a crowded road, don't look for many to join My Highest Way.  Draw upon the ability of My Grace, it is truly sufficient.  My child, lean on Me, I will bring you into My intensive care.  There I watch you intently.  I know that your need is deeper now, far deeper than ever before.  If you let My healing power and My peace flow, it will wash away the painful memories of your past and cause you to walk in the springtime of newness of life. 
 
    "But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!" (2 Corin. 12:9)
 
    "To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." (Is. 61:3)
 
    "So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities and distresses; for when I am weak [in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful in divine strength)." (2 Corin. 12:10)

 Stand in awe of Me, for all the many wonders you will see.  I Am going to rise up big on the inside of you and change the “you” that has been hindering “you”. 

 
Good morning,
 
    Stand in awe of Me, for all the many wonders you will see.  I Am going to rise up big on the inside of you and change the "you" that has been hindering "you".  All of My promises to you will be fulfilled as you totally surrender your lives to Me.  This is the generation that will have clean hands and a pure heart, for you will have no other gods before Me.  I have truly become the central focus of your life.  All of My blessings will come upon you and overtake you, because you have obeyed My voice, and continue to do so.
    Since you have been in pursuit of more of My glory and seeking My face with such zeal, there is within you the eyes to see and complete what I have begun.  Because of your humility, and keeping yourself small in your own eyes and in the eyes of others, I will bountifully reward you and lift you up.  I have innumerable ways to show you that My hand of favor is upon you.  I Am about to surprise you in a grand way, giving you tokens as I lavish My goodness on you.  I will cause the small clan to be a mighty powerful army.  In my Kingdom, the Davids of this world always defeats the Goliaths.  They triumph knowing that I Am their victory.  There is no fear to My children who know Me and are unashamed of Me, for they are the mighty weapons in My hand.  Take your position and stand sure.  Keep your hands lifted to Me in total surrender, so that I may fill you to overflow.  You have within you everything that this world needs.  Those who are obedient to My Word will be abundantly blessed for all to partake of.  You will be to your land and your house, a Joseph.  You will see, hear, understand and obey all that I reveal to you, and supernaturally provisions will come.  You are my faithful stewards, proven faithful by your diligence to My Word.  I have placed you strategically for the prepared times ahead.  I will give you counsel in the night season and even as you walk on your way.  Stay alert and attentive to My voice, you will know when to advance and when to be still.  Stay alert!
 
    "Your people also shall all be [uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified" The least one shall become a thousand [a clan], and the small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its [appointed] time. (Is. 60:21-22)
 
    "Show me a sign of [Your evident] goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, [will show Your approval of me when You] help and comfort me. (Ps. 86:17)
 
    "The thoughts of the [steadily] diligent tend only to plenteousness, but everyone who is impatient and hasty hastens only to want." (Pro. 21:5)
 
    "But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience)." (James 1:25)

My sons and daughters have come of age. Long have they been in the maturing process, there were many who rebelled against My training and teaching. For those who yielded, they are now ready.

Good morning,
 

    My sons and daughters have come of age. Long have they been in the maturing process, there were many who rebelled against My training and teaching. For those who yielded, they are now ready. Do you not see the signs and the wonders of this earth? Do you see My Word being revealed and displayed daily? The whole earth is moaning and groaning, travailing and awaiting for the sons and daughters. And now you are ready, you are ready to take the keys that I Am giving you to unlock the power, the gifts, the anointings, all that I have given you that pertains to living an overcoming life. I could not give them to infants nor to those who were being led by their flesh.
 
    It was my desire for you to mature, mature people walk in love and forgive, mature people take my authority and no longer consent with flesh and blood. This is the generation that I have raised up and they are coming on the scene like never before. They have been on the backside of the wilderness taken instructions and directions, following Me, taking their flesh and crucifying it every day dying, so that they could live in the Spirit and bear the fruit of the Spirit. These are the ones that are coming forth on the scene now many, many shall come in the kingdom because of the power and the authority, the signs, wonders, and demonstrations of My power that My mature sons and daughters walk in.  Those who yielded, are you one of them?
 
    "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." (Rom. 8:19-22)
 
    "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." (Gal. 5:15-16)
 
    "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matt. 16:19)

 You have asked Me for a breakthrough.  I say to you a breakthrough is waiting for you as you break through.  Now as you do, you will breakthrough into smooth sailing over the seas that once caused you so much trouble in life, over into a new horizon.

 
Good morning,
 
    You have asked Me for a breakthrough.  I say to you a breakthrough is waiting for you as you break through.  Now as you do, you will breakthrough into smooth sailing over the seas that once caused you so much trouble in life, over into a new horizon.  Storms tried to take you under, but you refused to go, you broke through, even as the waves almost washed you overboard.  You broke through as you held onto My hand.  Now you look back and see the devastating storms are behind you.  You can see in the distance with the eye of the Spirit the brand new horizon ahead of you.  You come out of the storms with your hands lifted high, and I have given to you a new song and a new dance.  Victory is heard throughout your land, a bold word and a determined one.  I Am causing the old things to build a pulpit for your testimony of My goodness and faithfulness to you.  The very things meant to destroy you I Am using to accelerate you into the next level of My glory.  Just keep your eyes on Me and together we will soar and fly to places you have never dreamed of before, it will seem unreal.  It is about that time and about that season for more of My glory to be demonstrated through you.

 
    You have been so faithful to Me.  Now you will enter into a season of My delight and joy.  I have told you before and I tell you again, the world has never seen or known, but they will take notice and see that I love My own.
 
    Know and remember that right before My Son entered into His glory, the enemy staged the greatest delusion of defeat.  To most looking on at the cross, it seemed a place of defeat, a time of rejection and being despised.  But, He was always My accepted and beloved One, He stood the test and passed.  Because He stood the test, He received a name above all other names.  He received and entered into glory, and set an example for you an open door for you to do the same.  The enemy has not changed his mode of operating.  He still does the same.  Right before you enter into the glory that I have prepared for you, he stages the great deception, to try to get you to believe a lie.  Be wise, look, and see!  I say to you this is just the beginning of what I Am doing.  This is not his finest hour, it is ours!  So rise from the ashes and shake off all of the shackles of the past and rejoice in the breakthrough!
    
    Decree with me; "Peace, be still!  I am breaking through, this is my finest hour!"
 
    "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple." (Ps. 19:7)
 
    "The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." (Ps. 12:6)
 
    "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still.  And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." (Mark 4:39)
 
    "You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways." (Job 22:28)

 I knew you, before there was ever a thought of you. I was thinking of you, I ordained every step of your life even the missteps you have taken out of My will.

 
Good morning, 
 
    I knew you, before there was ever a thought of you. I was thinking of you, I ordained every step of your life even the missteps you have taken out of My will. I knew the way that you would go and I have orchestrated all of them into My plan.  I have weaved them into My design. In order that you are able to stand, stand against all of the wiles of the enemy in this end time, he has unleashed demonic forces to cause a spirit of confusion even to those who are saintly, to those who are called, to those who are anointed. He is doing everything possible to cause a spirit of confusion to come upon the thought processes.

    But I Am giving you everything. You have the ability to knock down and destroy every thought that is not like Me. It can be found in my Word what I think, how I think, and what I say. And you know enough of my Word so arise and slay the giants in your land, in your thought processes in your life, and in your household. Arise and be the mighty warrior that I called you to be for a special anointing shall rest upon you. Do not take off the cloak but walk in it. Let it become so much heavier than any trouble or trial that you have ever had until it overwhelms you and overtakes you until you think like I think.  You will see the enemy before he even comes, and you will know his devious plans and how to defeat them. 

    All of the power and authority given to you it is not so that you can get a name for yourself. It is all about the King and the kingdom. It is about the kingdom. This army is not jealous, and is not envious. This army is all about one love. Their heart is running for one love, their purpose is for one love, so they love Me with all their heart and they love their brethren as themselves, and they are doing what I called and anointed them to do.
 
    You will find your position and complete the part that is missing. You will accomplish as one Body all that I said in My Word. This power of love will erase any confusion as you walk out My Word your clarity will illuminate every step forward. Through you My children My glory will fill the whole earth.
 
    "Blessed be His glorious name forever; let the whole earth be filled with His glory! Amen and Amen!" (Ps. 72:19)
 
    "For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]" (Ephes. 2:10)
 
    "For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the {full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). (2 Peter 1:3)

My fire will burn even the driest kindling as well as the wettest kindling. This is a unique demonstration of My power and I Am coming in rushing upon my people like I have not done in times past for time is short.

Good morning,
 
    My fire will burn even the driest kindling as well as the wettest kindling. This is a unique demonstration of My power and I Am coming in rushing upon my people like I have not done in times past for time is short.
 
    So I Am turning up the level of the fire and causing everything that is in my pathway to burn, either for good or for destruction. For I Am God and I Am doing the same work that I have always done. There is a great, great separation that is going on by My Spirit and in the spirit of the church. For I Am preparing My bride, I Am preparing My bride and with that comes a greater level of purification that she has not gone through.  I Am God and I know how to prepare what needs to be prepared for Me. I Am doing a great work In these final years and final days, understand there is nothing that shall escape my gaze, nothing shall go unnoticed by Me.
 
    I Am standing strong at my gates, I Am watching says, the Spirit of grace and mercy.  I will come with my rewards with Me, to give to My children, everything that they have planted by their lifestyle,  their actions, their deeds, and in the secret place where they think I do not understand or know every action of the heart. I know every deed unknown by man I see says the Lord, and I will reward you according to those, as well as the deeds that you have done.  I Am a faithful Father, a dependable Daddy and I will do this and much more so that My name might be glorified. So now, no matter where you are, whatever stage you are in, in your purpose or positioning right now, give Me glory and I will come and I will burn the sacrifice that you give. I will make something beautiful from the ashes of your sacrifice. I will purify, purging by My fire and you will know that I Am holy and there is nothing that can stand before Me but holiness, yes I Am purifying My church.
 
    "If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward." (1 Corin. 3:12-14)
 
    "so that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, may be found to result in [your] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 1:7)
 
    “Blessed [happy, prosperous, to be admired] is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts." (Pro. 8:34)
 
“For God’s eyes are on the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps." (Job 34:21)

Do you not see in your mind’s eye, all of the witnesses that surround you are brethren of the faith?  They have gone through some of the same trials that you have gone through and even more.

 
Good morning,
 
    Do you not see in your mind's eye, all of the witnesses that surround you are brethren of the faith?  They have gone through some of the same trials that you have gone through and even more.  Able was killed for his righteousness, Stephen was stoned for his righteousness but it did not alter their confession of faith.  I Am saying to you that you may look like David, where everyone has turned their back on you be like him and encourage yourself in Me. I will bring you out because you have gone through and I have tested you and I am testing the quality of who you are.  Like David, I will cause you to be above your brethren around you as you put your trust in Me. Hear My voice, you will come forth as pure gold. I am doing a great work in you, and you will see in the end that I Am faithful to my promise. Though 10,000 set themselves against you, they shall see you come out above them. I will bring it to pass because I surround you with My favor. When the enemy comes against you one way, I shall cause them to flee seven ways. I Am your mighty warrior.

    The enemy has no stronghold or foothold against you that will succeed because you have put your trust in Me. I will cause that very enemy to be your footstool and use their assault to fit into My purpose that I plan for you. It will come to pass. I Am faithful to watch over My Word  to perform it.  Yes, I have sent witnesses to see to it, to make sure that it turns for your good says the Spirit of grace. I have given you everything that pertains to life and godliness.  Everything, even ministering angels lift up your hands when they are heavy and they hang down by the side.  I have given you my precious, Holy Spirit, He is the lifter of your head. I have given you My Word, which will never be shaken. 

    As you trust Me, I see your humility and the humble man is the one that I lift up.  Precious Holy Spirit has come alongside to lead and guide you into all truths. He is more intimate with you than any man.  So, I have sent him to lift you up in times of testing and trial. He is the great helper, to see to it that you go on, putting one foot in front of the other until you come and possess your promise.  I will not fail you so keep your head held up.  We will not fail you, the ministering Angels shall not fail you, Holy Spirit shall not fail you and my Word shall not fail you. We will see to it that you come forth as pure gold.
