Good morning,
    
     Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirred up around you.  Do not quickly forget what I have said, "in the time of trouble I will hide you safe in My pavilion and under the shadow of My wings."  My desire is that you would learn to keep your eyes and your mind stayed on My goodness to you.  Goodness and mercy are on assignment from heaven to do you good.  You must stay readily accessible by pressing into the hiding place that I have for you.  It is there that you have access to the Kingdom, all that you need for recovery, restoration, and a refreshing.  Yes, I have given to you all that is needful to live a victorious life.
     You are standing at the dawn of your breakthrough, do not be deceived now.  This is where the enemy will pull out all the wicked spirits of offenses, bitterness, and being unforgiving.  Your thoughts and your words you must work on putting a watch on, and cast them down.  You do possess authority over them.  Do not let idle, fruitless and harsh words and thoughts fill your mind and heart.  Remember your fight is not against people, but against principalities, powers, against rulers of the darkness of this present world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.  They are always trying to get you to fix your mind on things that produce more of the thoughts that brought them down, self destructive thinking.  It is lying vanities of this world, lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life, all of these spirits are self deceiving.  Here is where the spirit of deception will turn my children against one another, fighting in the House, instead of against the enemy.  This will cause you to be defeated when you fight against those who I am for.  In war, many times there is fire sent out that hurt and maul their own allies.  This confusion is a smoke screen to keep you from seeing who the real enemy is, and from receiving what you have labored and believed for.  Press in to knowing Me.  In knowing Me, you would recognize My voice, and not follow a stranger's voice.  Once you step through and learn to keep your mind stayed on Me, the light that you will have will be greater than what you had before the storm came.  What you have glanced at in the shadows shall be clearly known.  I make darkness light, and the crooked places straight!  Keep pressing to know Me better and you will not be deceived by the enemy.  You will discern My voice and My way by My Word, We are One.
 
     “You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both [inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]" (Is. 26:3).
     "In his shelter in the day of trouble, that’s where you’ll find me, for he hides me there in his holiness.  He has smuggled me into his secret place, where I’m kept safe and secure—out of reach from all my enemies." (Ps. 27:5)

     "For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, [lust of the flesh) the allurement of the things of the world, (lust of the eyes) and the obsession with status and importance (pride of life) —none of these things come from the Father but from the world.(1 John 2:16)

 I have opened a gate, a portal into more of My glory to those who have a heart of adventure to see My face, to go beyond the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Good morning,
 
     I have opened a gate, a portal into more of My glory to those who have a heart of adventure to see My face, to go beyond the ordinary to the extraordinary.  You shall step into the places that very few men have ever seen, known or heard, but it takes boldness to go here, it takes letting go of the familiar.  It takes stepping in, past your feelings, past your thoughts, and past the things that are surrounding you; all of the happenings of this present age.  It takes faith to step here, and I say to you who have that faith, who have that desire, who have that longing, because not every man has the longing to go beyond the normal.  Not every man has the longing to go beyond what they see, feel, and think.  Even in My house people are bound by their feelings, what they see,  what they think, and what they can touch but I say step into those extraordinary places where I can show you the colors of heaven.  Those colors bring things into clarity out of obscurity!  It is where I can reveal to you the wisdom that is at your disposal, where I can cause you to be surrounded by the heavenly host, where there is no weapon that is formed on this earth that can penetrate the power and protection of that heavenly host.  So step into that place through your worship!
     The enemy has tried to steal the worship of My people through the COVID-19, through causing My people not to congregate.  A plan of the enemy to cause the power that I cause My people to have when they assemble together, not to be at its most effective.  That is why I said, not to forsake the assembling of yourselves together as you see the day approaching, there is great power that this available that can not comprehended.  By this time you should be further along in the places that I desire you to be, but I will multiply your seed of time sown during this season that the enemy tried to steal.  The secret places, the pools of glory, the anointing's that await you is through the gate.  So I say step in past your feelings, past your emotions, past the familiar places that you have been to, past those ordinary places, usual pools, and come into the extraordinary pools of glory that I have laid aside just for you.  So step in, step in through your worship, step in through your prayer language that I given you, the heavenly tongues to connect to heaven beyond your natural mind, beyond your natural conception of things and how they ought to be.  Step into the supernatural, step out of the ordinary into the extraordinary of your God.  I have laid these things up just for you, so step in.  Apply pressure, by applying My Word, and step in says the Lord, there are unique and needed treasures awaiting the bold ones.
 
     "Blessed [happy, prosperous, to be admired] is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts.  For whoever finds me (Wisdom) finds life And obtains favor and grace from the Lord." (Prov. 8:34-35)
     "..and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching" (Heb. 10:24-25).
     "My passion is to enlighten every person to this divine mystery.  It was hidden for ages past until now, and kept a secret in the heart of God, the Creator of all.  The purpose of this was to unveil before every throne and rank of angelic orders in the heavenly realm God’s full and diverse wisdom revealed through the church.  This perfectly wise plan was destined from eternal ages and fulfilled completely in our Lord Jesus Christ, so that now we have boldness through him, and free access as kings, before the Father because of our complete confidence in Christ’s faithfulness." (Eph. 3:9-12)
     "Lord, how wonderful you are!  You have stored up so many good things for us, like a treasure chest heaped up and spilling over with blessings—all for those who honor and worship you!  Everybody knows  what you can do for those who turn and hide themselves in you." (Ps. 31:19)

    I have given many warnings to My people about the times of the end.  You have sat at My table that was prepared for you from the beginning. 

2464D983-A6B4-481E-88DC-8A20FB527315

Good morning,
 
    I have given many warnings to My people about the times of the end.  You have sat at My table that was prepared for you from the beginning.  You have partaken of My Word that was only sweet to your taste and easy for you to swallow.  Yet, I have referred to My Word as milk, water, bread and meat.  Each has a different texture and each one supplies you with ingredients that are needed for spiritual growth.  You have not trained your palate to desire all that is necessary to be able to endure.  So eat My Word, all of it, and it will begin to cause you to stretch out for more of Me.  Grow up in My Word!  I have described My Word as a hammer, a sword, and fire.  The hammer will deeply embed in you what is needed to keep you stable and immovable.  My sword will cut and sever from you things that have grown in your life that will weaken and infirm your walk of faith.  The fire of My Word will ignite and destroy all that is left that is unacceptable, that would try to grow back. 
   Take heed all those that I Have placed as shepherds over My people.  You are responsible for the preparation of the one-sided unhealthy portions of food that have consistently been fed to My people.  You have caused a spirit of deception and a false-belief system to breed among My church.  You have only wanted to teach what is acceptable and popular to My flock, causing them to be weak and malnourished.  Some of you teachers have made My people believe that I Am a hard taskmaster with very little mercy towards them.  Yet, others have portrayed Me as a God with very little judgment, that just gives to everyone, anything, at their request, as if I was their very own personal genie.  I am rebuking you now, from a place of My love and mercy.  I Am calling you to preach and teach the whole Gospel.  I have warned you about the time when all that people would want is to have their ears and eyes tingled for their own pleasure and delight.  A time that they would not tolerate My sound wholesome Word.  This is that time!  Stay with My Word it is the guidepost that I have given so that you may really know Me.  Stop leaving out, and adding to My Word, stop embellishing for your “person” to be seen.  Stop dishing out this ungodly mush, that does not nourish at all.  Ministers, you must prepare My people with My Word to be able to endure and to be strong in faith.  Religious, preconceived ideas are causing a sleepy, lethargic and non-responsive “body”.  Be not consumed with your own reputation, but with the care and the growth of My house.  My people are My house, build up My house and I will establish yours.  Build with My Word and not with your favorite words.  Build wisely, not with the religious wood, hay and stubble that some foolishly use.  Turn back to My Word with a pure heart.  Empty yourselves of pride, greed, jealousy, hatred, vindication and all manner of evils and return to Me.  Those who will return, I will receive you to My heart and I will multiply back to you once again.  You will make up My holy remnant, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, the set apart ones, the holy vessels of God.
 
     "Is not My word like fire [that consumes all that cannot endure the test]? says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of most stubborn resistance]?" (Jer. 23:29)
     “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God." (Eph. 6:17)
     "Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation,. Since you have [already] tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord. Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God’s sight. [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable pleasing to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:2-5)

Reclaim the secret place, it is a place you have been before, there you know me better.  Come, there is a different anointing waiting there for you.

Oil
 
Good morning,
 
     Reclaim the secret place, it is a place you have been before, there you know me better.  Come, there is a different anointing waiting there for you.  
     It is where I comfort all that mourn, it is where I apply the balm of Gilead, it is where I set the captives free.  It is the secret place.  I Am calling you there.  I give you beauty for all your ashes.  This place of restoration is so that you can run longer.  I place My arms underneath your shoulders and I hold you and gird you up.  I Am giving you oil of joy for all your mourning.  It is an exchange place, it is where we meet, and here I place My love upon you.  I speak words of encouragement and words of comfort where I cause you to lift your head up, as you have been battle worn.  It is in My presence where there is fullness of joy and I place upon you a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. I know you and I Am intimate with you.  As your loving, gentle, and kind Father I know how to bring you out and put you on a high place.  I know how to make your feet stay firm as you climb upon the stony, rocky mountains of life.  I know how to cause you to be girded up, strengthened and mounted up with wings as eagles and soar to unknown places.  Here I take your tears and I place them in a bottle, for know that weeping may endure for a night but your joy will come in the morning.  It is morning time for you now, so arise in fresh new strength and victory, for I have spoken over you, and I sing songs of deliverance right over you.  I laugh the enemy to scorn right here in the secret place and I speak to you powerful words and your head become lifted up because I know you, and I know you will not quit.  I brought you this way that you might be strong and full of courage and not weak, and learn not to allow every circumstance and situation to weaken your heart.  I brought you this way because I knew what it would take to make you the mature child of God that I created you to be.  I brought you this way that you might be rooted and planted in My house.  I know the storms of life come, heat will not cause you to wither, circumstances would not cause you to bend or break.  I brought you this way to establish your roots way down deep.  I made you and I Am making you even now.  I will not stop for I Am forming a great and mighty person.  I knew you before you were formed and I have been forming you ever since.  For I know the beauty, the beauty that I have placed on the inside of you and I see the gold that is deep within.  So I Am mining, I Am mining in the deep recesses of your heart.  I Am mining in the deep places, the hidden places that man may not see or draw from.  I Am pulling out everything that would choke the fruit that must come forth. See I never quit, not for a moment, fashioning and forming you into the very image of your Father.  I see and I know exactly what I have to accomplish.  I Am doing the mighty things that I promised I would do to bring you to the place that you stand on a high place, the pinnacles of life that men may know that My hand has been upon you and I anointed you. My hands were upon you and I know you think that everything has been a hard way, but the hard way has brought you to the place that you have endurance and that you are patient.  I made you strong, I have made you an enduring war-faring soldier. My favor surrounds you as a shield.  My favor will cause you to be exalted as you deal in all of life affairs. Step into all that is yours because you have become inaccessible to all the ways of the enemy, as you stay in the secret place.
 
     "The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet.  And makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility]." (Hab. 3:19)
     "You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping.  You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle—not one will be lost.  For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance." (Ps. 56:8)
     "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." (Is. 61:3)

There are moments in deep worship where I bring you to gaze upon My loveliness.  As you gaze upon Me you are continually being changed into My very own image. 

Adventure-journal-songs-about-mountains
 
Good morning,
  

     There are moments in deep worship where I bring you to gaze upon My loveliness.  As you gaze upon Me you are continually being changed into My very own image.  As you keep gazing, you will see those things that once hindered you from being truly free, fall from you like a feather blowing in the wind.  For what was hard for you is nothing but dust in the wind to Me.  You will become free to follow Me up to mountains of victory.  Every mountain of testing and trouble has prepared you, so that you are able to navigate easily the new mountains of victory.  As you go up higher, where the altitude is thinner you will be able to maintain a soundness, where those who have never been up so high would fall away and faint.  You have allowed yourself to be trained by Me in those difficult places and steep areas that were meant to bring you down, instead you developed the "hinds feet".   
     At this high altitude, it is a place of great light for understanding and revelation.  You will begin to understand those deep things now, for I have taken you into My light that minimizes obscurity.  Yet, be aware at the same time that this great light of revelation comes, it will be accompanied by great persecution.  When you receive deeper insight, you will have more responsibility for what I give to you.  You must handle with wisdom what I give.  For to whom much is given, much is required.  Treat this next level as a prized treasure, for I am bringing to the surface all that will advance My Kingdom.  Remember it is My Kingdom that you are living for, it is not for yourself or another. You get to enjoy the benefits of Kingdom living as you follow Me closely.  Use this insight as I direct and only into the arenas that I instruct.  This great light is come for you, so that you may rise and shine and bring those who have been crying, to see the light.  You will be a reservoir, a supply for them, not a pool.  I will pour you out freely to all that I will send you to.  Obedience is what I require.  Obedience is simple as you love Me.  As you step up into the light you are moving further away from darkness, and as you move up you will incur jealousy, persecutions and hatred.  It will be from those who say they are in the light, yet their hatred, jealousy and persecutions stem from the force of darkness.  They who do evil hate the light.  For they who persecute My children, who walk in the light, they are persecuting Me.  From these, withdraw!  Do not be afraid to keep walking closer to Me and My light, let your love for Me be your driving force.  The false have always persecuted the real.  Now My children who are children of the light will be reflecting the light of heaven.  Duplicating what they have seen in the heavenlies, from their times of deep worship.  Living in what to some may be the "miraculous" will become normal to My light-walkers.  This season is the birth of the most powerful heaven reflectors, my genuine children.
 
     "But the path of the[uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more [brighter and clearer] until [it reaches its full strength and glory] in the perfect day [to be prepared]." (Prov. 4:18)
      …."For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required." (Luke 12:48)
      "[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength," (Ephesians 1:17-19)

 I Am coming as a great light and a fresh fire flowing as a fountain to all who have kept their flames lit. 

Elijah-the-prophet_472_314_80
 
Good morning,
 
     I Am coming as a great light and a fresh fire flowing as a fountain to all who have kept their flames lit.  You are about to experience walking up and down in My name as you recover things that were stolen or that slipped by you in this past season.  You will walk boldly as you hold the fire that burns as it goes.  This fire will begin to burn away the forests that have kept you from seeing clearly.  Wake up, wake up, for I Am surrounding you with fire and it will be for glory in your midst.  I Am a consuming fire and a Refiner.  

     You will begin to rejoice at all times as one who is intoxicated with new wine.  Yes, I have squeezed forth new wine from the grapes that have been produced during this last season of trouble.  A change must now come, one that is fueled by the fire that I have ignited in you.  It must be to pray for all that do not know Me or obey Me.  There is a fire igniting for them as well, but not for purification.  There are dual purposes going on at all times.  This same fire will purge some while destroying others.  All who do not love Me will begin to feel this heat turning up on them.  It is time now for you to be about the Kingdom's business.  Snatching souls from the fires that they have set by rejecting Me.
     Harvest time has come near in My own field.  There is a dividing line to separate between the tares and the wheat, and the sheep and the goats, that have grown and grazed together.  Those that are genuine must be holy still.  You must keep guard and stay in the love of your God, expecting and waiting patiently for the mercy for eternal life.  Do not grow weary in doing right, for your season of recompense is upon you.  I will make a known difference between who is Mine and those who are not.  Just as the world will experience signs and wonders in the sky and upon the earth, they will experience a new level of signs and wonders being exhibited from My children.  We are about to do awe inspiring acts, they will know that you are not of this world!  Keep your oil levels high so that the fire in you will stay flaming.
 
     "But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Spirit." (Jude 20)
     "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire." (Heb. 12:28-29)
     "But at night, when everyone was asleep, an enemy came and planted poisonous weeds among the wheat and ran away.  When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, the weeds also appeared.  So the farmer’s hired hands came to him and said, ‘Sir, wasn’t that good seed that you sowed in the field? Where did all these weeds come from?’  “He answered, ‘This has to be the work of an enemy!’ “They replied, ‘Do you want us to go and gather up all the weeds?“ ‘No,’ he said. ‘If you pull out the weeds you might uproot the wheat at the same time. You must allow them both to grow together until the time of harvest. At that time, I’ll tell my harvesters to make sure they gather the weeds first and tie them all in bundles to be burned. Then they will harvest the wheat and put it into my barn.’” (Matt.13:25-30)

 It is time to take your position and stay as a watchman on your wall.

Watchman-on-wall
 
Good morning,
    
     It is time to take your position and stay as a watchman on your wall.  The watchman will see and hear that the morning is coming, for the night is almost over and joy is coming in this new morning!  I have placed each one of My children in their most effective station, for the things that will come in this next year.  Prepare to succeed, when all others fail, who don't know Me.  I have placed upon My own a seal of My anointing which is able to forcefully resist any other agent that will try to breakthrough.  Yet, understand this, that the enemy of your soul will not stand idly by, while you are applying force.  Be prepared to fight the fight to win.  As a watchman you must be able to have eagle vision, to see from afar the schemes and the strategies of the enemy.  Know that he will try to bring a level of confusion to your mind in order to get you to letup.  See, this is not the time for halting.  I will arise because of the groans of the needy and the cries of the faithful ones, and I will put you in a place of safety.  I have not hidden My face from you neither have I forgotten you.  I will counsel you with My eye and by My words.  So, hear and see. 
     I have heard the cries of My children to see more of My presence, and I will manifest Myself to those who are looking to see, and listening to hear.  This time will be unique for My children who are seeing and hearing, for the old and the new are coming together to disclose My greatness like never before.  Keep pressing toward Me in worship, for you are closer than you have ever been to breaking through barriers.  These barriers are those that have been set by the forces of religion, this world system, the enemy, as well as the limitations set by your own mind and your generation.  Open your eyes that you may begin to behold the wonders that is Me.  Not just here in this earth realm, but in the heavenlies and also within you.  You are of the God-kind.  There is much more in you than even you know.  Yet, some have tapped into the deep places, the wells of living waters on the inside of them.  It is not only in your ability to create, but also in the God-given imagination that is given to produce more creativity.  I am removing the lids and the caps off of those who have sought Me diligently and are dying daily to the old man.  They will be amazed and baffled by what will break out from you.  It is because you have lifted Me high in your heart, now know that your humility has caused you to be lifted high.  Expect to witness My hand as I execute and accomplish My plans upon the difficult and troublesome testings and struggles in your life.  Remember, stand upon the walls and hear and see, do not be easily moved by any other thing.
     "For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth." (Is. 21:6)
     "So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Is. 55:11)
     "But the Lord says, “Now I will arise!  I will defend the poor, those who were plundered, the oppressed, and the needy who groan for help.  I will arise to rescue and protect them!” For every word God speaks is sure and every promise pure.  His truth is tested, found to be flawless, and ever faithful.  It’s as pure as silver refined seven times in a crucible of clay." (Ps. 12:5-6)

What are you waiting for?  I have given you everything that pertains to life and godliness.

 
 
Feelalive2_large
Good morning,
 
     What are you waiting for?  I have given you everything that pertains to life and godliness.  I have given you everything of Me so that you can be like Me in this world, so that you can speak what is needed into existence for the kingdom sake, as well as your own sake.  So when you pull from the kingdom, and require from the kingdom, you will have more of the kingdom.  In order that My will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  I Am giving more and more in the days that are ahead for those whose hands are open wide, for those whose hearts are lifted high in expectation from Me.  I Am pouring more and more into all whose eyes are upon Me, looking to the hills from where their help comes from.  This is in order for you to be the possessors of all that heaven has, so that you can walk throughout this land not as a defeated one, but as one that is lifted up, walking in the power and the authority of who you really are.  The resurrected power is living and abiding on the inside of you, the life sustaining power resides in you, bringing everything that I have touched to life once again.  Everything that the enemy walked over and declared that it was dead, and that it was not good, I have breathed My life into you.  I Am saying live, live.  Live for the kingdom, live wholeheartedly for the kingdom.  Live, live, live, let every gift, every ability that I have placed on the inside of you to advance the kingdom.  So burst forth on the inside of you, come forth, and do the work that you were meant to do while causing the enemy to back up and release his hold off of your life, off of your purpose and My plan and destiny that was made for you before you were even born.  I knew you and I knew that you would carry it out to the end.  I knew you, I Am familiar with your heart, your will, and your desires.  We all work well together!  I knew that you were capable so I placed My Spirit on the inside of you, to grace you with My power.  You have all that is needed, it is in you, it will be released in your life so that you can go forth and do what I have called you to do.  I know you.
 
     "In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will," (Eph. 1:11)
     "And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people),  and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe.  These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength." (Eph. 1:18-19)
     "For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence." (2 Peter 1:3)

     My children have encountered many giants in their land.  I Am calling to your remembrance that you are "giant – slayers"!  Do not allow that enemy of Ours to think that you are afraid.  Run towards that lying, loud-mouth enemy and silence him with the Rock.  You have been given My Word in order to raise the standards, you are never to lower yourself to the level of your enemy.  Do not let him bring you into his way of fighting, no, you must pull him into Our ring, Our way.  As you make that stand and keep your standard high the enemy will see that he cannot pull you down.  I have made you to be a threshing instrument against him, with My word in your mouth, that has been planted in your heart, there is no weapon formed against you that will prosper.  Do not be moved from your place of safety, for as you well know, the plan of the enemy is to kill, steal, and destroy.  Yet I know, that as you stay in Me that you are hidden and inaccessible to him.  I Am your Victor and your Champion!  There is no defeat in Me, I will teach and train your hands to war.  I say to you My child, fear not, for I have already overcome this tactic of the enemy.  This way of his is not new to Me, though you may be overwhelmed by the strange fiery trial that has come upon you, I Am not.  I have already decreed that you will come through with the victory, and with more wisdom and insight than you have ever had before.  This territory is yours and you will place the victory flag right there, and you will not be moved.  The enemy will back off, for I have placed in you everything needed to conquer and avail in this battle too.  There shall none of My Words be prolonged or deferred any more, but the Word that I have spoken shall be done!  For the visions that I have given to you, they are not vain, and, the prophesy that I have spoken they are not flattering lies, I will perform every Word that I declared.  So stand and do not bow to the enemy.  Hold up the hands that are weary, and strengthen the weak knees, cut through and make firm stable paths for your feet.  Follow me to victory and be strong and courageous.  This is an ongoing transformation, but you will win as you stay wrapped up in Me.  This strange and fiery trial shall pass and you will come forth as a giant-slayer prepared for the next level.  I Am not finished with you, you are My masterpiece and I still have My hands on you.
 
     "So then, strengthen hands that are weak and knees that tremble. Cut through and make smooth, straight paths for your feet [that are safe and go in the right direction], so that the leg which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather may be healed." (Heb. 12:12-13)
     "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test you [that is, to test the quality of your faith], as though something strange or unusual were happening to you.  But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, keep on rejoicing, so that when His glory [filled with His radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may rejoice with great joy." (1 Peter 4:12-13)
     "Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength,Who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my rescuer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me." (Ps.144: 1-2)

Good Morning,
 
     Do not come down from the wall of assignment that I have called you to build upon.  Continue to follow through with what I have spoken to you.  I have given you specific tasks to perform.  Obedience is the key in walking this through to the fullness of all that I have ordained for you to do.  This is the time to occupy, to stand watch over the certain walls that you are anointed to marshal.  With every strategic position I have placed the appropriate body part to achieve the highest potential.  Complete My building that we started together, while you praise Me for My ingenuity.  For I have brilliantly used the things that the enemy tried to bring you down with to cause you to keep your hands to the task.
     It will be the faithful ones that stayed with their assignment that will receive the privilege to open the gates to many entering into the Kingdom.  For even now there is on the horizon a great awakening of those who have had their lights turned off.  The lights that they trusted in and looked to for their leading has dimmed.  The man-made lights that once enlightened their steps and was leading them far off and away from the narrow pathway has been growing faint.  Now they find themselves stumbling in the darkness.  You have the light and you are My children of the light.  This is now the time to shine, shine through the darkness, and bring all those who are wandering into My enlightened steps.  That's why the enemy has tried to confuse you by sending waves upon waves of trouble to reach you, to bring you down from the walls of authority that I placed you on.  I know that you think that I have taken a long time constructing and preparing in order to bring your dreams and desires to pass, but I Am the Finisher.  I will complete everything that I started, and I never forget your labor of love.  What we are building is great and glorious for the Kingdom.
     I delight in you!  Now the enemy is looking at you and he sees that you will not come down, and he is afraid.  He realizes that as you continue to yield to Me, I will come alongside and cause you to finish the assignment that I ordained.  So no matter what you are going through and no matter how it comes to try to bring you down from building, do not fear I will uphold you and teach your hands to war.  I desire to impact this world with My imprint of My Kingdom and I Am doing it through each one of My children.  You wield a great influence, and we can finish in record time, only do not be distracted from your assignment.
 
     "You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Matt. 5:14-16)
 
     "I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]." (Phil. 1:6)
 
     …[looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work]. (Heb. 12:2)
 
 
Love,
