When the enemy of your soul comes against you in a fight, recognize this one thing, he shall flee before you seven ways. For I say that every promise that I have made to you is a yes and amen. I Am fulfilling all of My Word. I Am not like man, there is no lying within My lips, what I speak to you it is a yes and an amen, and you can count on Me to do it. So when the enemy comes, do not shake in your fear. In fact, turn around and tell him what your Father has already done, let him know what I Am capable and able of doing and what I will always do for My own. I take care of My own. You are My children, My very own, My beloved, and I will take care of you. There is nothing that can come against you that I cannot cause to scatter into so many directions, and cause to lose its power. I say to you that no matter what goes on in your life, as you continue to encourage yourself, I will strengthen you, I will build you up. I will cause you to see things in the spirit realm that you never saw before. You will see things working out for your good, to cause you to stand no matter what is coming against you. So now know that I Am strengthening you. You are not as weak as the enemies lies tell you that you are, stand still and you will see the salvation of your God. I Am faithful to watch over My word to perform it on your behalf, and I Am doing it even now.

There is not one jot not one tittle of My Word that will ever pass away, I will do what I said I would do. My promises are sure as the foundation of this earth, even though things may crumble and shatter around about you, I and My Word still stand. So My Word stands with you, and so I Am seeing to you right now, as a good Father does, I will not let you fail. I will not let you down. I will cause you to lift your head up in the midst of the enemy lies and see triumph and victory at every turn because I Am Jehovah Jireh I see ahead and provide. I go before you and behind you, and I surround you with all victory. So count it joy! Give Me glory and praise right in the midst of wherever you are standing in now, knowing that I Am causing your enemy to scatter and to flee before your eyes. That is what I do, that is who I Am, a good Father. I Am the faithful Father, and you can depend on Me.

“Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.” (Isaiah 41:10)

“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

Any word that the enemy has spoken over your life, I have defied his word by My word. My Word is more powerful than anything that the enemy can come against you with, but My word stands alone supremely. I fashioned and formed everything that you see and every being under the heavens I created. There is nothing more powerful than My Word. I did it by My Word alone, so that there is nothing that the enemy can say to you that can change My Word. My Word is sure, steadfast and secure. You can trust Me. I Am dependable. Whatever I have spoken to you, I will watch over and do it. I Am performing it even now in the midst of diverse circumstances where it seems like darkness surrounds you, I Am that light in the midst of the dark. I Am always light in the midst of the dark and if you just begin to walk towards the light, My Word, you will understand that there is nothing that can defeat you in this lifetime, for I have overcome the enemy and all of the plans and all of his devices that you see in your life. You can rest assured that I Am the Overcomer, and because I am you have become the overcomer. There is nothing that can press you down or that you cannot rise up against. So believe My Word, stand and believe, no matter what decree My promise in the midst of diverse circumstances and situations. I change not. It is not based on these things that you see, hear, feel, I change not. I Am consistent. I will not change. Concerning you, the promises that I have made to you are a yes and and amen. You can depend on Me fulfilling My part. Just stand behind Me, stand with Me and you will see the outcome, and it is always for your good.

“Then said Jehovah unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I watch over my word to perform it.” (Jeremiah 1:12)

“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” (John 14:13)

“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

Good morning,

This is where the deep touches the deep and it reaches to a place unknown to your physical mind, unknown to your physical heart. That is the place where the power of your Father meets with the power of your spirit and you begin to recognize that you are most powerful, that you are not this powerless being that has no power but you begin to recognize that I have given you everything that pertains to life and godliness. You become just like Me and the divine nature of your Father, and in that place says the Lord, I respond to you as a loving Father, a Father who loves His own, chastises His own. For what kind of father would I be if I allowed My children to stay childish, if I allowed My children to stay babies, working in their flesh and in their mind, operating by their natural means, not growing up, not maturing into the divine person that I have called you to. I have raised you to walk not by your flesh, not by your feelings, not by your thought life, but by My Word. You must be those who have their senses trained and are mature, strong enough to endure the meat of My Word because they take My word and apply to every circumstance and situation and make their flesh obey. Yes, I said make; for in order to do My Word you have to make yourself do it, and so as you are laborers with Me, come to Me says the spirit of grace and mercy and I work alongside with you. There is nothing, no nothing that is impossible to you if you believe. There is no change that is insurmountable to you, believer. We can do it together says the Lord, and I command you to do if you love Me. I command you to walk with Me, I command you to love Me so much that you obey Me, that is My Word. I say to you My children, if you would desire to grow up, grow up to the place, to all the wonders that I have to reveal to you, secret things, divine mysteries that I want you to walk in. You could be walking in them even now says the Lord, for it is high time that My children stop being babies and grow up to be strong, and endure the sound doctrine of your Father. Know that I Am causing you to inherit the promises that I have given you. Promises that are laid up for those who are mature, for I cannot give to babies the responsibilities of the mature revelation, but I can entrust those to strong and mature people who are ready, yes ready. Every time you receive a word and you allow your flesh to continue to rule you, you are still yet babies and I require you to grow up says the Lord. It is the longing of My heart to see my full manifestation working in and through My people causing them to be the end time army that I have designed and required for them to be. This is your season, this is the time to shed that skin of babyhood, now is the time, this is the season to rise up and to mature says the Lord. You can do it, for I have given you everything that pertains to life and being like God, it is in you, it is your divine nature. I have put Me inside of you, you are just like Me, so start acting like it, start being like it. I require that of you My children, for I have given you the Word, I have given you the milk, I have given you the meat of the word so that you might grow up, so that you might endure in the days that are ahead. For have I not said, it is My sons who endure chastening from their Father? For I am a loving Father, a kind Father, a generous Father but I also chastise those I love. What kind of Father would I be if I allowed you to stay in your mess and in your sin. I require you to grow up and mature and shake off the skin of this world, shake off the worldliness that you have been hiding under. I require it says the Lord, so grow up this day, make up in your heart and mind, and you will see that there are more that be for you than be against you. All of the power I have invested in you, is so that you might succeed and walk boldly through this world, letting this world know that there is a God and He lives in you, and He works in you. They can see Me as I come forth from your life says the Spirit of grace and mercy. You have the power, you can do it says the Lord.

“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.” (Eph. 4:14-15)

“For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and] unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant. But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.” (Heb. 5:12-14)

“My son, do not make light of the discipline of the Lord, And do not lose heart and give up when you are corrected by Him; For the Lord disciplines and corrects those whom He loves, And He punishes every son whom He receives and welcomes [to His heart].” You must submit to [correction for the purpose of] discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons; for ] what son is there whom his father does not discipline? Now if you are exempt from correction and without discipline, in which all [of God’s children] share, then you are illegitimate children and not sons [at all]. (Heb. 12:5-8)

Good morning,

In this season of change, I am releasing the anointings that have rested upon My servants in times past, yet double. The anointings that now come upon My servants today as the gifts of the Spirit, that sometimes drip as a steady rain, shall seem as powerful as the Niagara or the Victoria falls that no man can quench it or still it. The anointing of wisdom, revelation, miracles, healings, prophetic utterances, knowledge and insight, supernatural faith, discerning of spirits and diverse kinds of tongues shall be like living-fire in My house. All of the living temples that abide in Me and allow Me to truly abide in them will walk this out in every sphere and avenues of life. This strong release shall be upon the housewife, the market place, the poor and the rich, the young and the old, female and male, every race and nation of people that belong to Me. Living examples of My living power. The diversities of My gifts and their use is as diverse as My people are. This end time army shall be a devastation and a violent assault against the kingdom of darkness. Powerful force for the enemy to reckon with, for My people have arisen. Alive in their true identity!! Sons and daughters of the Most High God, imitating and demonstrating the love and character of their Father. Bringing the greatest treasures of this world into My Kingdom, and that treasure is souls. Fill My treasury with those gems that bring Me delight! My people have become home-sick, so now their focus has shifted, now they long to be with Me forever. Busy, busy, but not about many things as in days gone by, now they are busy for the Kingdom. Now a single-vision has taken hold of them and I Am now the apple of their eye. Their will has now turned into Mine. So look and see, those who are yearning for Me, will let Me flow the anointings through them to bring many souls home to Me. They have set their faces like a flint. Their concern is not about building their own microscopic kingdoms. They are about their Father’s business. I Am about seeing that they have everything necessary to fulfill Our destiny.

“For even the whole creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]” (Romans 8:19)

“[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,” (Ephesians 1:17)

“But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit. To one is given in and through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] a message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] a word of knowledge and understanding according to the same [Holy] Spirit; To another [wonder-working] faith by the same [Holy] Spirit, to another the extraordinary powers of healing by the one Spirit; To another the working of miracles, to another prophetic insight the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose); to another the ability to discern and distinguish between [the utterances of true] spirits [and false ones], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, to another the ability to interpret [such] tongues”. (1 Corinthians 12:7-10)

Good morning,

I Am clothing My children with more of My Glory. It is a glory that strengthens as well as covers. It is a glory that brings understanding as well as insight and wisdom. It is a glory that causes you to walk in the giftings that I’ve placed within you. It is a glory that is waking up that person on the inside that I placed My spirit into and I speak to daily, that I encourage to rise up and take over. Be the one that goes forth in this season. It is the glory that abides in the tent that covers. It is the glory of the one that I fashioned and formed before this world was ever known. It is the glory that is within you calling to the deep inside of you, wakening My Spirit, the one full of My Glory, full of My power, full of wisdom and insight. I am calling to the deep in you. Allow the deep to hear and answer and come forth. In the days that are ahead, I need My people to be strong. I need My people to be hearing people, people that understand, people that understand with clarity and insight and can move with Me when I say move and can be still when I say be still. I need My people to awaken to the move of the Father that’s within them. I need My people to be gentle, yet full of power and authority. I need My people to rise up, to walk in that place of authority, in the heights that I have called them to, far above the principalities and powers of this world and this ungodly system that have governed them. To hear Me and know that greater one lives on the inside of you, greater than anything that you have ever gone through or anything that you have ever known. I Am greater, and I Am there speaking to you, to rise up, speaking to you, to wake from the slumber that this world has kept you in. Awake to the all things that I have called you to. For there are greater things for you, even now, before I come and take My bride away, before I come and receive My bride unto My arms. There is a greater power residing on the inside that must come forth in great power. Awake and allow the power of your Father to come forth.

“But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.” (Psalms 3:3)

“God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory,” (Colossians 1:27)

“He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light.” (Daniel 2:22)

Good morning,

If you would begin to take every step that I have given you, these steps will cause you to reach a place in Me that you thought was impossible to do. But because you surrender your will, your designs, your plans, the things you thought were your deliverance, I will crucify them before your very eyes and raise Myself up mighty in your eyes. This crucifying of other gods will cause you to be lifted up to a place that you trust and depend upon Me. This generation of My children will rise up and begin to declare My Word by their lives, by their very lives being lived out, a testimony for men to see. As your lives are lived out before them, they will see the glory of God living and abiding in you as you go forth being filled to overflow of My presence. You will cause men and women to be healed from the very shadow of your presence as you yield yourself more and more to Me. For this is the generation that I have raised up to declare and sound the trumpet to alarm My people. My people, will hear Me and obey and be quick to obey. For Our time has come to receive My bride. It is sooner than you think and I want her prepared and ready. So now hear My voice, hear the sound of the trumpet as I Am sounds the alarm. So do not go back to the trough, do not go back to the vomit, do not go back to the old lovers, things that the enemy is trying to pull you back to. Rise up above those things, because I placed on the inside of you all that makes Me, Me. It is in you so now you can rise up. You can do the impossible, because of the possibility that lies in Me. You will radiate My glory and power. We are in harmony, Holy Spirit has been fine tuning you. Know that We will do the impossible in the hours ahead. We includes you My bride!

“And I will make you my bride forever. I will make you my bride with goodness and justice and with love and mercy.” (Hosea 2:19-20)

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17)

“that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:26-27)

Good morning,

I Am awakening as one from slumber and I will shout like a mighty man full of My new wine. I will call to My own, as a woman who is in travail. Come back to Me with your whole undivided love and affection. I Am crying in your ears, for I remember how you tenderly loved Me. I know how you were thoroughly enamored with My love and kindness. There was a time when nothing else would satisfy your longings, except Me. Now I have seen you looking with longings towards other lovers. Those who promise satisfaction, but is like a flickering lamp. It cannot supply you with warmth or fulfill the longings of your heart. I Am the only love, that will completely fulfill you. Yet, you have worshiped the works of your own hands. You revel in your own creations. You have become to involved with idle, fruitless deeds of life. The time and the change of season has come and you would have missed it. Yet, I have kept My hands on you. I have brought My people through the fires and I will refine them as silver and test them as gold is tried. Purifying you, so that you may run the race weightlessly. This has been the training ground for the next level of testings, that will come upon the face of the earth. You will need to be quick and sharp. That is why I Am burning from you the weighted impurities. With the coming disasters and chaos you will see that you have doubled in power and in purity. I have placed you in a spiritual boot-camp, with difficult training and exercise of your faith. It has been necessary, so that you will make progress on the dangerous heights of this next level of testing and trouble. You will turn your face to Me and rejoice! You will know that I have become your strength, and your invincible army. I will set you up securely, even on the high places. You will be glad in Me. You will stir up and rekindle the flames for Me. Your light will burn bright,while you lead others from their darken state. Those who would not yield to Me will begin to seek refuge from their storms. They will find priests of the Lord, ministers of God, flaming fires of righteousness.

“I remember [earnestly] the lovingkindness and devotion of your youth, Your time of betrothal [like that of a bride during the early years in Egypt and again at Sinai], When you followed Me in the wilderness, Through a land not sown. Israel was holy [something set apart from ordinary purposes, consecrated] to the Lord, The first fruits of His harvest [in which no outsider was allowed to share]. All who ate of it [injuring Israel] became guilty; Evil came on them,” says the Lord.’” (Jeremiah 2:2-3)

“The God who encircles me with strength And makes my way blameless? He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble]; He sets me [securely] upon my high places. (Psalms 18:32-33)

“It will come about in all the land,” Declares the Lord, “Two parts in it will be cut off and perish, But the third will be left alive “And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will listen and answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ (Zechariah 13:8-9)

Good morning,

If you listen closely even as you raise yourself into a higher place with Me, you can hear the angels joining in. You can hear the host of heaven joining in as you praise Me to excel you into higher realms of glory to bring you to a place where you actually hear My voice clearer and you actually hear the angels that surround you and encamp around about you, singing songs of deliverance, victory and joy. You can sense them as you worship Me, as you go into that quiet secret place. As you guard yourself from the things of this world and put yourself in the position to hear you will receive wisdom that is needed to protect and strengthen you. You will hear that there are more that be for you. Even as you are singing, a host of heaven was encamped around about you singing. You can hear the angel voices begin to have that clarity of victory, glory and honor as they worship and praise the God of all creation, your Father. And as you join in worship of the Father of all creation, you will begin to have your eyes open to the great and awesome majesty and the might and the glory of the heavenly realms, the places where I Am calling you to, into the higher places of glory. So join yourself with the heavenly forces every time you worship Me, and your eyes will begin to be opened and you will see and understand the times and the seasons that you are living in and you will be better prepared for the days ahead. You will not faint, you will not give up, you will not quit, you will be prepared for the race. The sound of heaven mixed with your unhindered voices lifted up will build you up to where you are seated with Us in heaven, knowing how to succeed in every area of this life you are living now. You are ready now to fulfill your purpose and the destiny I placed in you before you were born. Get ready to be known as heirs and joint heirs with your Lord.

“The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God. And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.” (Romans 8:16-17)

“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),” Ephesians 1:18)

There are eagles that are about to soar in great flight. They have streamlined their lives and allowed Me, their Lord to shave away the weights that have kept them grounded in the past. Weaning them from all that they thought was their source and their necessity. They have truly discovered I Am their one and only source. Watch the eagles, climb higher into My presence. They will not settle for the commonplace. Every step of faith has brought them closer to the clouds of My glory. The eagles will experience the great torrential rains that I have promised in My Word. The rains are coming to refresh and blow away all that is stagnant, clearing away all that obscured their vision. My eagles will create a refreshing wind, for they will carry My anointing and drip it on all who have been waiting for more of Me. This will increase the desire for all the eaglets in My Kingdom to produce a fresh wind of glory in their environment. All of My children will desire to grow up and take their place in the army of their God. Holiness and maturity will be their aim and their goal. All of those who love Me will seek me again as they did at first. This fresh wind will start fires, fires will begin to glow. The wind and the fires will cause a dynamic outburst of the Spirit.

New levels of My Spirit producing new levels of My glory. My people will now walk in sustained levels of power and authority. This will be the greatest time ever known to My people. Healings that will encompass spirit, soul and body will be seen as evidence of My favor. My eagles will be at the forefront of this great time of My manifested glory and healings, yet humility will fan the flame for greater manifestations. Those who have developed their wings have done so through great seasons of endurance. I know the many times that they have laid down their own desires to see that Mine would be done. Such an awakening of my eagles will cause My watchmen to become more alert. Their times of intercession will be fanned by the fires of purpose and their eyes will see with great distinction. My shepherds will be quickened by the rushing of the wind of my eagles. The meals that they feed my people will be served with truth and in power. They will be revived by the same wind, feeding My people with fresh manna. My people will go throughout their territory bringing restoration to their land. Rebuilding all that has laid in ruins because of the devastation of the past generations and of the present troubling to their lands. They will not be distracted any longer by the lies of the enemy. They will work diligently on one hand while warring for the Kingdom with the other. This wind of the Spirit will cause supernatural waves of energy, they will never grow weary as they march right on to the new level. All that they have gone through has been preparation for this time. The set time for My eagles has come! My favor will be your great reward.

So I say to you, stir yourself up once again to loving Me. Revive the fires of your prayer life, ignite your quiet times in My Word, where you learned to hear My voice. Speak life to your times of worship, and you will be transported into My Presence. Refuse to stop running, and you will see that you be like
a watered garden and an ever-flowing spring. You will be raised up on high to soar once again as a renewed eagle!

“Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle” (Psalm 103:5)

“And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your soul in scorched and dry places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden , And your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up and restore the age-old foundations [of buildings that have been laid waste]; You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” (Isaiah 58:11-12)

Good morning,

This enemy of Ours is attempting to lull a great body of My people to sleep. “Sleep”, he says, “through the crisis in your life”. “Sleep”, he says, “to the cries of the lost world”. “Sleep, you don’t need to be aware of the times or season that you are in”, says the liar. Sleep so that your spiritual senses become dull. Sleep in order that you might receive more of his lies. Sleep so that you are deaf to My voice. He is using the cares of this world, the lust and longings for other things, (wants, entertainment, business) and the deceitfulness of riches, those cravings and desires for more and more, all those things that beckon for your attention. He is applying a smoke screen. Awake from your spiritual slumber, for it is the sleep of death sent to kill your real life in Me. Where are the watchmen on the walls? Those who are seers, that I have anointed to see ahead, to the times and the season. Listen as they cry out to you. For the spirit of deceitfulness has caused your walk to become lethargic, as one who feels in the darkness. Your great light that once burned brightly has become small. Wake up to righteousness! You don’t even know how far you have fallen. You have judged yourself by others that have been dulled by this life. Those who have become lovers of this world. Those who are taking pleasure in the wickedness around them. Turn your gaze back on Me, your Bright and MorningStar. You once ran with the messengers that carried My Word. Now you have put down your torch and run with the jackals of this temporary world. Return to Me!

You must stay planted by the river of My Word in order to have a ceaseless supply of fresh water. So that no matter what the outer conditions, you will continue to produce. Each time you dwell in darkness and with sin, you are weakened to your defense against it. Your delight and desires for Me will shift. You cannot love two lovers. You will either hate the one and love the other. Remember how you loved Me, I was your delight and your desire. Come back to Me with your whole heart and I will heal you of your backsliding heart. I have been speaking gently, while the world screams at you for your attention and affection. Now I will shout as one who is in travail. Awake, arise and stir yourself up to Me!! Do not grow weary in your waiting. Do not grow weary in your well doing. I will come for you. I Am coming for My Bride, so wake up to My Word. Stay alert to My Presence and know the times that we are in.

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?” (2 Corinthians 13:5)

“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in victory through Christ. God uses us to spread his knowledge everywhere like a sweet-smelling perfume. Our offering to God is to be the perfume of Christ that goes out to those who are being saved and to those who are being lost. To those who are being lost, this perfume smells like death, and it brings them death. But to those who are being saved, it has the sweet smell of life, and it brings them life. So who is good enough to do this work?” (2 Corinthians 2:14-16)

“Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character. Awake from your drunken stupor and return] to sober sense and your right minds, and sin no more. For some of you have not the knowledge of God [you are utterly and willfully and disgracefully ignorant, and continue to be so, lacking the sense of God’s presence and all true knowledge of Him]. I say this to your shame.” (1 Corinthians 15:33-34)
