Good morning,
 
     In the years that are ahead, there is coming a mighty army of God full of anointing and dressed in My grace.  They recognize that it is My grace that will put them over and that makes them abound, it is My grace.  My ability on their inability to do everything in their life, that I have called them to do, will cause them to arise.  I will cause them to become the head not the tail and people will begin to look and see that My church is alive and full of My glory, My power, and full of My joy.  There will not be one pitiful face because of the things that surrounds them.  In fact, the world will see people who are the light of this world, shining bright.  Know that I Am coming for a church that is without spot, wrinkle or blemish.  I Am coming for the ones that I have dressed and prepared, those that I have sacrificed for that I have given all to.  I Am coming for a ready church says the Lord.  They are the ones who are seeking My face during the dark times, the ones that seek My face when the light is shining bright, they are the ones who change not.  They do not let circumstances alter the way that they feel towards Me, or the things that I Am doing, even in the things they do not understand.  
     They know this, that I Am working all things out for their good.  I have always been that God, always been that Father, and I will never change, says the Lord.  It does not matter what it looks like, or what you see, I Am on the scene and when I Am on the scene, I Am doing super abundantly above all
that you can ask or think.  I Am not through!  I know the world is rolling up and thinking that it is over, but I Am not through until I get the glory that belongs to My name, until My church magnifies Me in everything that they do and say.  So get ready for yourself to blossom and to bloom and come forth like My garden.  This is My abounding army that I have been growing up, and I have been doing it from the day that you became My saints.  I have been working in you doing mighty works, causing you to walk in a love that supersedes the mind and the understanding, causing you to extend beyond your own limitation.  For I Am opening up those grave boundaries in your heart, so that I can breathe life, and make you available and able to do the things that I have called you to do.  There is nothing that is too hard for Me, so I Am doing it even now.  I Am working out the hardest thing, the tough place, the situation that you can not do anything about, and yet now, because you have surrendered them to Me, I can step in and show Myself strong on your behalf.  I Am your mighty warrior.  I Am your victorious God, and everything I said I would do, I Am doing it says God, so that My name might be glorified in all of the earth.
 
     "For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)!  No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." (Ps. 84:11)
 
     "Alas, Lord God!  Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!  There is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You— You Who show loving-kindness to thousands but recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosoms of their children after them.  The great, the mighty God; the Lord of hosts is His name — Great [are You] in counsel and mighty in deeds, Whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to reward or repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings," (Jer. 32:17-19)
 
     "Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] —" (Eph. 3:20)

 My grace shall be upon your life like never before.  My power and ability to meet every one of your inabilities.  My grace will cover you as a shield.

Good morning,
 
     My grace shall be upon your life like never before.  My power and ability to meet every one of your inabilities.  My grace will cover you as a shield.  You will see My grace in the best of times and yes, even the worst.  My grace, my power and ability will fuel your faith causing you to walk in an extraordinary faith when all seems lost.  Through it all your commitment to worship and your dedication to seeking My face will keep you increasingly growing in this great grace.  I will hear you from heaven and those who seek Me, they will find Me.  You will know Me in the places of comfort, and you will be like Me in the places of adversity, you will not weaken, but receive greater power.  You will know My grace because of the quiet times with Me, living and experiencing Me in every circumstance of life.  You will know Me as I am truly Am.  You will know Me as a God of great good.  For even when I made myself known to Moses, I said, I allowed My goodness to pass before him.  Knowing that everything, yes everything else is wrapped up in my goodness.  And I know that there are many of you who feel that of late, that you have only experienced the bad, but now comes your turnaround.  See, there is no way that you can continue to experience only troubles if you have sown good seed, for I Am faithful to My Word and he who sows shall reap of the same kind.  So get ready to experience the greatness, and the goodness of your God and you will say even as it is written in My Psalms, "the Lord is good, yes, the Lord is good."  Yes, you will speak of My grace and goodness to one another, encouraging and building up one another.  Some of you I have been only good to and you did not even see My goodness.  Every time I answered, you attributed it to someone else or some other thing trusted in, but I have been faithfully good to you.  Count the blessings, count your blessings, count your blessings and see how much they outweigh the bad.  I Am your God, and I Am faithful to My Word and My promise to you.  I will never forsake you, no never.  I care not what the enemy has lied to you about.  He is a liar first and foremost, truth never passes through his mouth.  I Am true!  Every word I say is true and I Am about to reveal Myself and make Myself known to those who seek Me.  You will know Me as your Abba.  No longer just God, but your Abba, your endearing Father.  Your merciful Father, your gracious and compassionate Father, your supplying Father.  Your Father who will now give you great, great grace.  During this year you will know Me as Abba, the great and powerful Father of all grace.  You will demonstrate My grace in your life!
 
     "For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift." (John 1:16) 
     "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:" (2 Corin. 9:8) 
     "Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." (Jer. 29: 12-13)

 Stand in awe of Me, for all the many wonders you will see.

Cropped-AdobeStock_90268965
 
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 life 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 defeat 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.
 
     "For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, In His tent I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud  Be gracious and compassionate to me and answer me. When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].” (Ps. 27:5-8)
 
     "Then all your people will be [uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous; They will possess the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, The smallest one will become a thousand (a clan), And the least one a mighty nation.  I, the Lord, will quicken it in its [appointed] time.” (Is. 60:21-22) 

 
     "Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me." (Ps. 86:17)

 There is a “sonic boom”, that is about to be heard and felt.  A supernatural sound that will shake the world, but the greatest effect will be heard and felt in My house. 

SV16092702V_175
 
Good morning,
 
     There is a "sonic boom", that is about to be heard and felt.  A supernatural sound that will shake the world, but the greatest effect will be heard and felt in My house.  I am going to shake My "fruit" trees to get all that is ripe and ready to be enjoyed by Me and others.  Those who have been pruned by Me, time and time again.  I have covered them and blanketed My "fruit" trees, so that the heat and drought could not keep them from producing.  These "fruit" trees have been yielding to the work of My hands, hands that are gentle and firm.  I am firm in that I have kept them from withering from the heat of living and My gentleness has made them great.  In the days ahead they will provide the same kind of shade and covering for others that I gave to them.  The lost, and even those who have trusted in their own strength, who dwell in My house, will begin crying for covering from the heat of their lives.  You, My yielded "fruit" trees that have been growing, almost unnoticed by those around you; you have gathered strength, stability, wisdom, and insight from staying close to Me.  Now, when it is least expected you will stretch out your branches to all those who are being burnt by their own ways.  To them it will look like you grew suddenly, yet all along you have yielded to Me and My ways, growing stronger, little by little.  I have been preparing you for this season.  It is your time to shine!  So arise and let all see what I have done in you.  Let them come and taste of you and see that the Lord is good.  This "sonic boom" will blast through the darkness, causing great light to shine bringing fresh understanding for you.  It will blast away the gloom and break your atmosphere into the songs of the angels that surround you.  The difficulties that you have experienced will be made into stairways of light and glory.  You will get the revealing words and information that I have been speaking to you all this time, but it was hard for you to hear.  I have enlarged you, so stretch out!  Rapidly, as the sonic boom makes quick changes, so it will be for you My faithful " fruit" trees.  You have come forth for your prepared time! 
 
     "[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit." (Jer. 17:7-8)
 
     "I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness.  Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory" (Is. 61:2-3)
 
     "But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]." (1 Corin. 2:9)

Only hear My voice and know that My voice is one of kindness, one that encourages and uplifts.

Good morning,
 
     Only hear My voice and know that My voice is one of kindness, one that encourages and uplifts. Understand that I saw you, and I knew you even before you were in your mother's womb, I knew you and I said well done, it is good!  I took you and I fashioned you, and I brought you into this world that you might affect and cause a change by your life in this world.  You are to take this world by storm by your anointing that I have placed in and upon you.  I have great purpose and great destiny for you, and your eyes have not yet begun to see what I Am doing.  I have been doing many things in the secret but now, says the Spirit of grace, now, the world needs to see the things that I have been working on in the dark.  I am taking back the covers off of My children in order that the world might see who you really are, and those who are for Me, they will be stronger and bolder than they have ever experienced in their life.  They will decree a word and it shall come to pass because they have been found in the secret place with Me.  When you open your mouth to speak you will be amazed at what you will hear.  It is because you have been found in the secret place with Me where you have been fashioning yourself in the image of your Father.  I have heard your cry to be more like Me, it has always been My desire for you to be just like Me.  There will be great arranging in the inside as you see yourself being a vessel of love and power.  Children of the most high God, walking in the midst of the world changing and disrupting the plans of the enemy by your very presence alone.  So open your eyes and your ears to the great destiny and the purpose that will unfold before your eyes, for you are  prepared to walk in it now.  So remember where you came from, humble yourself, turn all the glory over to Me for it is Mine.  Bring to your remembrance that it is I, and I alone who formed you and made you for this time and this season.  It is My time to make all things beautiful.  The world needs you, so step up and declare, open your mouth in love, and the power that is within will come forth.  This is the season of My children coming forth.  The whole creation has awaited this time.  No more backing down, no more biting your tongue, open your mouth and I will fill it with power of the Kingdom.
 
     "But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.'  Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people." (Ezek. 3:27)
     "As for me, I will continue beholding Your face in righteousness (rightness, justice, and right standing with You); I shall be fully satisfied, when I awake [to find myself] beholding Your form [and having sweet communion with You]." (Ps. 17:15)
     "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)

Good morning,
 
     In this moment My people will rise because of the sound that is coming from heaven, and it is a great sound of change that is shaking the whole atmosphere.  It is causing things that have been set into motion, to be changed by the sounds that We are sending forth.  I Am reversing every curse that the enemy has sent against you.  This is a time of rejoicing for My people.  Others may not see the moment, others may not seize the moment, but those who will have their hands lifted up in total surrender, they will recognize the time.  There is a set time says the Lord and I have called My people to this time. There is always a set time that I call My people to behold My love moving upon their lives, and those who are my people they recognize the sound.  It is like the pool of Bethesda, an angel went down at a certain season and troubled the water, it was a due time, a kairos time.  So shall this certain season come suddenly upon My own who are expecting Me.  Because you are My own you will recognize the sound that is coming from heaven, you will be alerted and your senses will be sharpened, and you will be more attentive to My voice.  You will do things that others cannot account for, or understand, and you will say, "I've heard from the Father", and then the set time will cause a move.  It is time to do the things that I have called you to do, even in the midst of fear.  My great power and great love shall abolish the fear that has tried to enter into your life and affect your effectiveness.  
     You shall rise boldly and speak to those spirits that are trying to shut you up, by trying to control you and make you do things that you know in your heart are not sound and according to My word and My promises.  You shall arise boldly and declare in this moment, and in this season that you are in, that it is the due time that I Am calling all praisers and worshipers to rise with My Word in their mouth boldly declaring, boldly going forth, boldly saying what I Am saying.  No matter what the circumstances look like, no matter what your body and mind may feel like you will stand boldly declaring what I Am declaring.  When you do so, great things shall come to you like never before.  Doors and gates that have been closed up until this time, they will open wide for you, for I the King of glory have gone ahead of you to open those doors and those gates. Gates of generations, gates of oppression, gates of depression, all the gates that the enemy has sent into your life to close you off so that you may not be discerning, they will be abolished. I am opening wide gates of freedom, love, wholeness, and prospering in every area of your life, you will walk free and bold. You will take captive every demonic spirit, yes demonic spirits and strongholds that have tried to hold you back.  Great power and love shall make my people move forward.
 
     "Yes, he did mighty miracles and we are overjoyed!  Now, Lord, do it again!  Restore us to our former glory!  May streams of your refreshing flow over us until our dry hearts are drenched again.  Those who sow their tears as seeds will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee.  They may weep as they go out carrying their seed to sow, but they will return with joyful laughter and shouting with gladness as they bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!" (Ps. 126:3-6)
 
     "Your gates will be open continually; They shall not be shut day or night, So that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations—With their kings led in procession." (Is.60:11)
 
     "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]." (2 Tim. 1:7)

 “I will give My people a river of peace and prosperity for the wealth of the nation shall begin to flow to them.

Shutterstock_1063994864-800x552
 
Good morning,
 
     Here is a prophetic word that the Lord spoke to us in October 2009. God always prepares us ahead of time, making sure as we hear His counsel we prepare our lives in His Word. Many times we have to be reminded, so He speaks more than once to get and keep our attention.This was eleven years ago.
 
     "I will give My people a river of peace and prosperity for the wealth of the nation shall begin to flow to them.  As My people learn to remain stable and fixed trusting in Me for their support, the world around them is beginning to shake in fear.  Fear that has torment.  Yet, My people will be unafraid, those who receive their comfort and help from Me.  Their hearts will again rejoice and flourish like the grass!  All will see the that My hand of blessing is upon them.  I will continue to bless those who have a humble heart that tremble at My Word.  My people need not be afraid of sudden disaster or destruction that comes upon the wicked, for I Am their security.  In the midst of turbulent times My people will experience a supernatural calm.  Now, the humble in Me will be exalted and the mighty will be brought low.  This holy remnant of Mine shall carry out the work of the Kingdom as never before.  This holy, humble remnant are those who press past the veil and have known Me as Father.  Their constant intimacy has raised a stirring in My heart.  I will entrust to them the power of the ages to come.  They love my presence more than their ministry, than their goals and more than their ambitions.  They will be able to hear Me in a moments notice, they are prompt to obey, they will not be shaken, no, not even when sudden disasters come.  They are stable and fixed trusting in their God!  They will learn that I Am their treasure.  There will be a notable difference between the children of this world and My children as notable as the difference between the Israelites in the land of Goshen and the Egyptians.  I shielded and protected My children from all of the plagues that came upon Egypt.  I Am the same God, I change not.  I will be a refuge and place of safety, from all plagues now.  When My children came out of Egypt they came out with all the precious possessions of the Egyptians, after years of shame and dishonor.  I gave them double for their shame and so it will be for those who trust in Me, instead of shame and dishonor, they will enjoy a double share of honor.  They will possess a double portion of prosperity in their land.  They will feed on the treasures of the nations.  My people will know Me as their shield and their exceeding great reward!  Know Me, for it is those who know their God that will be strong! 
 
     "Thus says the Lord God: Remove the [high priest’s] miter or headband and take off the [king’s] crown; things shall not remain as they have been; the low is to be exalted and the high is to be brought low." (Ezek. 21:26)
     "After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly great." (Gen. 15:1)
     "Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you," (1 Peter 5:6)

 My people are asking what “am I” doing in the midst of this pandemic?  Many are asking where “am I” in the midst of this?

Good Morning,
 
     My people are asking what "am I" doing in the midst of this pandemic?  Many are asking where "am I" in the midst of this?  I Am where I always Am, I Am right in the midst, I Am the same deliverer and preserver.  In this time and in this season that you are in, I have allowed the wheat and the tare to grow together.  I have allowed the sheep and the goat to feed together and now in the midst of this I am separating.  I Am separating the wheat from the tare, I Am separating the sheep from the goat by My spirit.  I Am making a difference between those who are Mine and those who are not.  Those who are Mine, they are beginning to burn even brighter.  Like the city on a hill, their light is becoming extreme.  Their light is causing many to turn and see that there is a difference between those who are  completely mine and those who have been in My house who have not been faithful to Me.  So hold on to My hands, and do not change, for I am unchanging.  Do not alter your stand for Me, for as you stand strongly with Me and for Me, I will see to it that you are overcomers.  I will bring to your hands all that I have laid up for you.  Those hidden riches in secret places that I have kept for you will be given.  Because of your faithfulness you will abound in many areas, not only in the prosperity of this world, but in the spiritual richness that I placed on the inside of you.  It will come from you, flowing freely because you have sat and basked in the beauty of your Father.  You have stayed in My presence in the midst of diverse trials and tribulations, you remained faithful.  I will crown you with beauty and glory that this world has never seen.  You will be different, unique, do not try to be like everybody else for I have caused that separation to come.  Be bold, be strong, be courageous and shine brightly for the world needs the light that is being pulled forth from you during the dark hours of life.  Do not put out the light on the inside of you, let it shine forth brightly.  Follow Me, I will show you the way during this season.  Stay close, every step that I take, take the same steps, do not try to get ahead of Me, neither lag behind Me.  I never forsake My own, never, in the midst of every famine and every plague, I have always protected, preserved and prospered My own, so that they would know Me as all that they need.  I Am Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who sees and provides.
 
     "Lord, you are my secret hiding place, protecting me from these troubles, surrounding me with songs of gladness!  Your joyous shouts of rescue release my breakthrough." (Ps. 32:7)
 
     "You shall also be [so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as] a crown of glory and honor in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God." (Is. 62:3)
 
     "You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and deeds and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (Matt. 5:14-16)

Good morning,
 
     I see birth coming forth and in the process of birth, there is pressing that must be done.  The pressing causes the birth to go through a narrow pathway and through the narrow pathway there is squeezing and more pressure applied to bring forth life.  So, are you in this moment in your life. There are pressures coming from every side, almost strange and unusual pressures.  They are trying to press out of you the promises and other pressure tries to take away from you the promises, because out of the same canal of birth and life comes those things that are disposed of and those things that bring life.  So I say to you in this moment, in this hour that you are in, the pressure that has come, the enemy has tried to destroy the promises that I have given you.  But I have allowed the pressures in your life, to bring forth greater life for more abundant living.  And those things that seems strange, those things that you have walked in this season that you have never seen or known, it is to bring forth the life, fresh new life because in order to receive the promise, you must go through pressure.  The pressure squeezes out everything else to bring both the promise of life, living, the destiny and the assignments of the things that I have called you to do says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  So allow the pressing to come forth. I know how it feels to you in the natural but these things must be in order for life to come forth.  Receiving the promise takes faith, as you can see through My servants of old, they were purified, they were purged, they were pressed in order to bring forth the promise.  Every man and woman of God that I call goes through a press in order to come forth into the new.  So I am bringing forth new life from you and the pressure that you are feeling, don't allow the enemy to cause you to have disdain.   
     Stay in My presence, and you will see those things that the enemy meant for your harm, I have a way of turning them around for your good and only your good says the Lord. I will bring forth from you that desired thing that I want.  I will bring forth from you, a fresh new presence, new hunger, new zeal, a new taste for more of Me.  That is what I Am requiring in this moment, in this season of My children, that they will begin to turn every desire towards Me.  And as you do says the Lord, when the pressing is more than you can bear, I will provide a safe place, you will come forth as pure gold.  There will be nothing withheld from you in this moment, in this time, in this season that you are in, you will be able to do it.  So press, press towards the things that are eternal, press towards the things that bring eternal life says the Lord, leave the temporary things behind and press towards the eternal.

     "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." (Matt. 5:6)
     “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn.  This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LordAnd this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord."

There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place. 

 
Good morning,
 
     There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place.  Some that were slightly out of order, others that were totally crooked.  I Am releasing into your life new strategies to help you overcome.  What may look like failure and the end is only a door opening to new plans to shift you into your large place.  This will be a time of acceleration in those areas where it seemed that the "spiritual vultures" were circling.  The old strategies and tactics that you tried to follow, because it worked for someone else, yet they never worked for you, have finally been released from your hands.  You have cried out to Me, and better still, you waited on Me to reveal to you My steps for you.  Now stay in the position of having your neck stretched out in anticipation of the surprises and tokens that I have for My obedient ones.  Breakthrough, advancement, and improvements will arise in every area of your life that you have yielded to Me.  Many of My people will be loosed from places where they have been held captive in their lives.  Places where they sense that they have lost their purpose and their call.  Here I will renew your joy of serving and loving Me.  I will amplify your sensitivity to My gifts.  You will begin to operate from a high place of the Spirit in your day to day lives, for you are My temple.  As you yield daily to the gifts, you will hear me lead you in the way that you should go.  Opportunities will be easily attainable and the limits have been lifted that kept you bound, for you have been found faithful.  Barriers that kept you from stepping over into the territory that I have already given you, will be blown over.  Listen, for I will speak in the night seasons as well as when you walk by the way through dreams, visions, and by the light of My Word.
     All of these precious promises I will do for you because you have obeyed My voice and did not choose your own way over Mine.  I Am promoting in-House as well as in the market places, all that have sought after Me in a dry and weary place.  Those who have pressed after the Kingdom, when others ran to the world, because of tests, trials and tribulations.  I Am always rewarding the faithful and those who endure in Me.  Shame shall be the promotion of fools, those who do not choose obedience.  Most of all, you will be revived in your relationship with Me.  Arise My love, and take part of the fragrance of your Lover.  I Am dropping to you sweet dew from heaven to refresh you for the days ahead.  As all things begin to fall in place, remember I have given you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  Through you I Am building up the the ruined places and raising up the places of devastation, so that I may be glorified and that you may be known as My minister of righteousness.
 
     "If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;" (Is. 1:19)
 
     "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)
 
     "My brothers and sisters, take the prophets as your mentors. They have prophesied in the name of the Lord and it brought them great sufferings, yet they patiently endured.  We honor them as our heroes because they remained faithful even while enduring great sufferings.  And you have heard of all that Job went through and we can now see that the Lord ultimately treated him with wonderful kindness, revealing how tenderhearted he really is." (James 5:10-11)

 
     "They all ate the same heavenly manna and drank water from the same spiritual rock that traveled with them—and that Rock was Christ himself.  Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their dead bodies were scattered around the wilderness.  Now, all these things serve as types and pictures for us—lessons that teach us not to fail in the same way by callously craving worthless things." (1 Corin. 10:3-6)
 
Love,
