Love-1
 
Good morning,
 
     The spirit of prophecy was in Hesed this past Sunday.  Here are a few of the excerpts spoken by a couple of the saints that morning.  God is calling us, the Body of Christ to grow up, to quit being easily offended and to actually live our lives as examples of the Kingdom of God here on earth.  Hear and obey, here is the first prophecy:
 
     "Doesn't matter what it is, doesn't matter who it is, it must be love.  Love is why I hung on the cross.  Love is why I forgave all.  Operate by love, move by love, speak my love.  No matter what comes against you, love.  Love, love this day.  This day, this day love.  I've told you before, I've told you from the beginning, I'll tell you to the end.  I hear all of your prayers.  I see what is going on, I see what they're doing, I've ordained for them to do it but I say at the end love.  Don't tell Me again, don't come to Me again, don't say it again, don't cry about it again, don't be concerned about it again.  I say love."
 
     That was the first word, it is very down to the core of who we are to be in this world.  Listen to the Word of God.  "But I say to you, love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  so that you may [show yourselves to] be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on those who are evil and on those who are good, and makes the rain fall on the righteous [those who are morally upright] and the unrighteous [the unrepentant, those who oppose Him].  For if you love [only] those who love you, what reward do you have?  Do not even the tax collectors do that?" (Matt. 5:44-47) We are called to a higher level of love because we have been filled with our Father's love.  "Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Rom. 5:5)
 
Now here is the second prophecy:
     "I am breaking the boundaries, I am breaking the walls that man has set.  I have set walls for you, I have set boundaries for you and those boundaries are love.  It will not look like what you think but it will look like what I have established.  My intent is the original intent for you.  I am taking you back to the original intent.  My original intent for you was love, love without boundaries, without hesitation.  Love, My kind of love.  The kind of love that can look into the eyes of those that hurt you and say Father forgive them for they know not what they do, that is My kind of love, it crosses all the boundaries that there are in mankind.  It is My kind of love and I have given you the grace to perform that kind of love in your life and you will see yourself soar with Me like never before, if you will simply look into My eyes and look into theirs and walk in My kind of love."
 
     Obviously offences and hurts will come that is expected, but what will stop the enemy in his tracks is when we choose to stay on the "high" way of God's love. "Jesus said to His disciples, “Stumbling blocks [offences, temptations and traps set to lure one to sin] are sure to come, but woe (judgment is coming) to him through whom they come." (Matt. 18:7) Look and meditate on theses words until you are actually being love; "Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].  Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]."(1 Corin. 13:7)
     Remember brothers and sisters, blessings of and from God comes when we obey(do) the Word of God. "But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience]."(Jam. 1:25)

PROD-Drinking-glass-of-water
 
Good morning,
 
    There are things that I have told you to do says the Lord that you have not done yet but if you stayed intoxicated with Me nothing would be hard for you to do.  For you would do it and before you recognized it, before the enemy would try to bring you back to your so called sanity you would have already crossed over says the Lord.  For with Me there is nothing, nothing to hard.  You have been saying, "it's hard, I've tried, it's hard for me, I've tried."  You have tried but you have not given it over to Me.  Nothing is too hard for Me!  Nothing is too difficult for Me.  There is nothing that I can not do.  I am the God of impossibilities.  I make the impossible, possible says the Lord, if you will just give it to Me.  If you will just yield to Me, if you will stay intoxicated in My spirit says the Lord.  That means daily you have to take a drink of My Spirit, which means moment by moment when the old familiar haunts try to come and take you over again, you take a drink, you take a drink says the Lord and then you will cross over.  You will cross over and you will do those things that are impossible to you says the Lord but possible to Me.  You have with you more than enough says the Lord.  More than enough is on board with you.  So cross over, come on and cross over.  Come on and cross over!

     Anything else will not last.  Anything else you do can not save and set you free, totally deliver you but this kind of drinking.  This kind of drinking will send you to a place that you will really, really, truly be  sane, you will see things as I see them says the Spirit of grace.  You will know like I know says the Lord.  I will open your eyes of understanding and your mind, you will look down from the high places and see things as they really are and you will know that is small for God, that is too small for God.  That is not bigger than Him, He is bigger than that!  Nothing is insurmountable to you any longer, you recognize who you are, you are the giants in the land says the Lord.  I have called you giants in the spirit so begin to take up your weapons that I have given you and do battle against the enemy.  He is too small for you and greater, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.  You can do anything that I have told you to do.  For you are well equipped says the Lord.  Well equipped to do it so step out into those new places.  Step out where the devil has been telling you to be afraid, be afraid.  But you step out says the spirit of grace and mercy and never be afraid again.  Come on and shake it off your shoulders, shake it off your mind. Take a drink, stay full of the Spirit.  Shake it off and step out says the Lord.
 
     "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
     "Ah Lord God!  behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:" (Jer. 32:17)
     "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him. Speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, [offering praise by] singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord." (Ephe. 5:18-19)
 
Love,

Explosion
 
Good morning,
 
     There is an explosion in the atmosphere.  There is an explosion in My people.  That word explosion means a violent outburst as of laughter or anger, a suddenly, a rapid or a great increase, to break loose.
 
     You make the choice.  There is an explosion that is happening and it is not like the natural that is chaotic, it is in the supernatural, it is orderly, and it brings restoration.  So we are having a violent outburst of laughter and joy, joy, joy.  Joy unspeakable and full of glory.  To break loose those things that have been bound.
     Many of you who have been hindered and who have been dragging, you who have been walking around in a spirit of sorrow and heaviness, but there is a breaking forth and a breaking loose says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  You shall outrun horses in the Spirit, your feet shall be on fire, your heart shall be on fire, your vision shall be inflamed once again says the Lord, and nothing and no one shall hinder you again.  You will go forth boldly says the Lord, running this race to the finish line.  You will not be hindered, you will not be stopped, you will not be sidetracked by obstacles or the things going on round about you.  Now you will have developed eagles' eyes and the eyes of doves.  You will see from afar and you will not be looking all around.  The only things that you see are the things that I allow you to see in the realm of the spirit and you are constantly stretching forth for more and more into the outer realms of heaven and in to the inner realms of glory that I have placed on the inside of you and you shall burst forth.  Yes explode, you shall explode where I send you. There are many of you sitting here now, wondering "what am I supposed to do?"  You are like dynamite, I have sent you out into the world to explode, to explode round about those that live with you, to affect a change in the atmosphere because when an explosion occurs, people scatter they begin to run to safety, many will come because of the explosion that occurs in your heart and your mind and healing mercy that should overtake you.  Things that have bound you in times past like sickness, diseases, and infirmities, you will be set free says the spirit of grace and mercy because once you understand and walk in the realm of the explosion and the outburst of God, you shall experience such healing and some of these explosive remains will fall on those you are sent to.  Divine wholeness shall be your portion and you shall be My people, a people on fire that the world can not put out the flame.  So get ready to explode says the Lord, for I have ignited you!  
 
     "He brought me out into a broad place; He rescued me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me." (Ps. 18:19)
     "You shall serve [only] the Lord your God, and He shall bless your bread and water.  I will also remove sickness from among you." (Ex. 23:25)
     "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run [their very best to win], but only one receives the prize?  Run [your race] in such a way that you may seize the prize and make it yours!" (1 Corin. 9:24)
 
Love,

Good morning,
 
     All of heaven is looking over the threshold, looking for the people who would praise and magnify the Lord thy God.  All heaven is looking for a people who will not be ashamed to declare that they are winners and victorious in this life as well as in the world to come.  All of heaven is looking for a people bold enough to walk out the purpose of God in their life and fulfill their calling.  All heaven is looking for a people walking in unity, not self-seeking, but a people who are bold to declare the living God before a world that is lost and who are looking and desperate for the love of God, all of heaven is looking. 
    So I say today, yes, use your words, use your words to bust open the heavens. Enjoy all that I have kept for your words to bring forth. Know that I have fulfilled every word that I have spoken unto you in times past and it is time, high time for you to start walking it out.  Believe that the words that are new to you that I Am speaking over your life are being fulfilled.  War with the promises that I have given you then says the Lord, all of heaven will open up and pour out at your feet everything that is left for you in this season, says the Lord.  So I say to My people, walk out and fulfill the divine counsel and purposes that I have already spoken over your life, promises and prophecies that are waiting for you to fulfill.  I have given you everything that pertains to life and godliness to fulfill those words says the Lord.  My words are not empty or void words.  My words are waiting for you to fill the atmosphere with them and bring them to life says the Lord.  I have given them to you, not something empty, not something vain but so that you could fill your heart and life with them.  Thereby fulfilling every living prophecy that I have given you.
 
     "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Phil. 1:6)
     "For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth, Making it bear and sprout, And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result),Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." (Is. 55:10-11)
     "But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it." (Deut. 30:14)

Overflow
 
Good morning,
 
     I Am responding to your hunger and to the depth that you are hungry.  I Am responding because I have heard you, for years, I have heard your cry for more of My glory and all that I Am.  I will honor you now by pouring out everything that I have, the windows of heaven are now open and there is a spilling forth.  That is why My Word says, "that My will be done on earth as it is in heaven".  I desire for you to experience heaven on earth.  I Am unleashing all that I Am and all that I have upon those who are hungry and thirsty for more.  I will overwhelm you, understand this, you will not be able to hold it back or contain the overflow.  That is the idea, the concept of overflowing, it will flow over and overtake you; your ways, your thoughts, your precepts, your ideas about Me.  I will overflow and I will open up and reveal to you mysteries.  Mysteries that have been held for just this moment says the Lord.  Every  generation I allow different and deep mysteries to be unfolded.  I have for you mysteries that are opening now, your eyes will be enlightened, your understanding will come to a place where it will astound you, almost knock you off of your own feet says the Lord because you will understand that I Am more than what you ever perceived or thought in your heart, and I will cause you to abandon your own ideas and concepts and religious ways and enter into this new era.  The era of believing and trusting in Me and understanding mysteries that I have unfolded to you.  You will walk in a place of wholeness, things that were missing, broken, or not functioning properly will be whole.  You have asked for this moment and now says the Spirit of grace and mercy, because I know the times and the seasons that you are in, I Am causing this overflow to balance you. You will be ready, says the Lord.  You will be ready because you are allowing Me to take down some idols and to build up in you the very presence of your God.  Get ready as you abandon and yield yourself to Me.  
     There will be those who will out run the horseman. Those who have been held back they will begin to outrun others who have been running.  Those things that have held you back, thoughts, precepts and the concepts of mankind you will break free and loose from them.  You will be able to be what I have called you to be, a watchman on the wall.  You will see things way before they come says the Lord, and you will know how to run that race.  You will know how to avert the plans of the enemy and you will know how to come out on top says the Lord.  For this is the season for My glory to rest upon My people and you will not be prideful, but humble.  No, not prideful, but you will offer yourself up before Me and I will be able to deposit more and more for those who are humble says the Lord.  For those who keep a humble and a broken and a contrite heart, I will move in their lives and I will cause them to establish themselves in fame, not like the world, says the Lord.  In fame, because you will live in the knowledge of God that many people have sought after for generations.  I am unveiling and disclosing to you mysteries and profound things, so you get ready and stay in a humble heart says the Lord.  Stay in a humble heart, it is not because of you, but it is because of Me, and the time and season that you have entered in.
     Many say in your hearts, "I don't want to let you down God.  I have heard these words and words similar, like, every time I have let you down", and I say to you, I have fully equipped you for this season.  My Spirit who lives on the inside of you, He is able, and if you would yield to him, you will be able.  That grace that rests upon you will be able, and everything that you thought that you could not do, everything in the past that you did not do, you will be able to do says the Lord.  For there is a great anointing resting upon My children, because I recognize the times and the seasons, and I know your heart and I Am causing our hearts to line up with My will and My ways says the Lord, so you will be able.  You will not fail, you will be fully equipped to do, and as you yield your members, so shall you do says the Lord.  You will not disappoint, you will not be disappointed says the Lord but you will make the appointment on time, every time says the Spirit.
     "Your kingdom come,Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." (Matt. 6:10)
     "But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation].  Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness].” (James 4:6)
     "Remember [carefully] the former things [which I did] from ages past; For I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, And from ancient times the things which have not [yet] been done, Saying, "My purpose will be established, And I will do all that pleases Me and fulfills My purpose,". (Is. 46:9-10)

New-beginnings
 
Good morning,
 
     We have entered into the year 5778, while 5777 represented the year of completion, it represented perfection or completion.  So 5777 represents the end of some things, there were some things in your life that God was completing and perfecting.  Sometimes we do not like when God is completing a work in our lives because it does not always feel so good, but God finishes those areas in our lives to help us mature and grow.  Now 5778 means the opening of a door.  In the Hebrew it means CHET, and CHET means the opening of doors of wisdom.   People like to say, and you might here it, we almost hate to hear, because we hear it a lot, that is "It's a new beginning" but when you end something, you start something, or begin something new.  So God is starting something new, but a lot of this new will be in us so look for it in yourself.  Do not just look for it in circumstances and situations, for we know that everything in our life should not be based on the outer things.  It is what God is doing in our hearts that make us immovable.  So this is what God spoke to me:
 
1)  Lines are being drawn to live for Him whole-heartedly, no more fence straddling.  Loving My Word or not, sheep or goat, wheat or tares, the choice is yours.  (these are the opening of the doors for us to make a choice).
 
2)  Koinonia – communion and fellowship with the brethren will become more valuable than ever before.  No more tearing down of your own body, but building up of our body, bringing healing and wholeness by the fellowship of love.  Loyalty to one another.  The enemy is using the age old tactic, "divide and conquer", but you must recognize your place in the body where I have placed you, because in it is where your strength and power and your anointing flows from.  There the enemy will not be able to weaken you for there you will exercise wisdom and you will be covered.
 
3)  No more complacency.  You will be about the Father's business, seeking the lost.  Even those who are being saved will be saved as if by fire.  They will not casually walk into salvation, they will be a fire brand set in My house to cause those who are still hungry to become more hungry, and those who are not will be consumed, some to good, others not. 
 
4)  Dual purposes for this new beginning, at one time you will see, you will have an experience of ultimate peace and within moments you will be at war, sometimes to maintain the peace that you worked so hard for, other times to fight forces that are trying to cause battles in the ranks.  You will have discernment for wisdom, you will know what to do, say, and when.  This is because heaven and earth are now touching.  Everything in the kingdom meant for you to live victoriously will be easily accessible, for your eyes will be set on things above.  Visions, provisions, clarity and grace, grace to carry out all orders to now work more effectively for the kingdom.  You will see that peace never comes through compromise, but by maintaining a close walk with Me and My word, and with the brethren who are faithful to Me and My word this will always bring peace.  Do not love the world nor the things of this world, that is a false love and a sense of peace.  You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and strength and love your neighbor (which is your brethren) in the Lord first like yourself.
 
5)  This is a season of beginnings, wisdom, and hope.  There will flow miracles, miracles of rest, miracles of provision, and miracles of change for you to be transformed.  Miracles that have not been seen will follow all who trust and believe Me.  You will walk in (to the one I have made you to be).  You will be like Me.  Cords and things that have been depriving and sucking life and strength from you will be severed.  So you will be stronger and you will shine with us for a new life.  You will be able to fight with the armor that I have provided.  My grace, My ability it will rest upon you so that no matter what comes, you will be fully supplied and trusting in Me.  You will sing of your trust in Me.  It will be trust to a higher degree. 
 
     "And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord was working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed." (Mark 16:20)
     "and have put on the new [spiritual] self who is being continually renewed in true knowledge in the image of Him who created the new self—" (Col.3:10)
     "If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]." (1 John 1:6-7)

Good morning,
 
     All this time you have been in training.  All this while I have prepared you for every valley just like My servant David, on the back woods.  He fought a bear, he fought a lion, he was in training for Goliath.  I have spent a lifetime with you, training you for your "giant" moment.  Do not be afraid of the enemy that you see, do not be afraid of the circumstances that you face for you have been trained, fully equipped and ready for this battle, and I have already crowned you the victor.  So have no fear, I am backing you, I go before you, and I surround you.  You will not win if you walk in fear, but you must go boldly and stand boldly as My servant did, fully ready because his trust was in Me.  You will win, you will stand victorious and receive the victor's crown for all that you have done and all that you have gone through and all that you have walked through.  I have seen those times when others did not see, I have walked with you in the midnight hours when others did not hear.  I was with you there when you cried and no one dried your tears.  I was there to catch your tears and put them in a bottle.  I encouraged you when no one had a word of encouragement for you.  I Am the lover of your soul and I Am your father.  I Am gentle and kind, yet strong, and I say to you today, there is nothing, nothing, nothing that is too hard or difficult for you, for you are made of greater stock.  On the inside of you is a king, a warrior, ready for any battle, ready to stand and face any demonic force, for you know that the greater one abides and resides on the inside of you, and we walk together.  Wherever you go, I go.  As you yield yourself to Me when you speak, I speak and the power of My words are heard and echoed around this world.  For even today, everything has been sustained, it has been from My Word, that is the power that you have on the inside of you, the sustainability of My Word.  I will not lose, you cannot lose, I Am a victorious winner and so are you.  You are made in my image, so do not be afraid of the things you see for I Am greater on the inside of you and we walk together and there is nothing that we cannot do together.  Understand this and yield yourself once again to Me like you did when you were first born again.  Remember how you loved Me and how you depended on Me, then you did not know very much and yet your dependency on Me was very heavy.  You did not know the way, you trusted in Me because you thought, you thought in your heart and mind that I knew the way.  Now because you have grown a little you think that I do not know the way, I know the way.  I Am the same God, I have not changed, I know exactly where I Am taking you and how to get you there.  So lean over on Me and have your confidence in Me and together we will win says the spirit of grace and mercy.
     
     "And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit." (2 Corin. 3:18)
     "There is no fear in love [dread does not exist].  But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]." (1 John 4:18)
     "You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle.  Are they not recorded in Your book?  Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me." (Ps. 56:8-9)
 
Love,

Hiding-place
 
Good morning,
 
     I Am your hiding place.  I will encompass you around with My shield of protection whenever you are afraid or in trouble.  I will sing to you there in the hiding place, songs of deliverance.  When you encounter troubles, giant situations, or multitudes of small foxes know that I have already devised a plan of escape that will cause you to arise with a higher level of power.  The enemy and his cohorts try to stir up a cloud of dust with the many different trials, and try to roar loud with a gigantic voice.  These things are meant to keep you beating at the air, he knows that your vision can become impaired and that your hearing can be muffled because of the noise of the many gigantic voices, that each begin to utter small things to you wanting you to make choices from a place of fear and frustration.  Know that I have prepared for you a landing place, it is a strong place for you to hide, but not in fear or defeat, but it is a place of refuge and rest.  Here you will learn to trust Me when your sight is blurred and your hearing is muffled,  you will develop a sensitivity here to My voice and an ability to see from a better and higher perspective.  See, you would have not received this greater revelation if you had not been pushed to come to the resting place.  If you had not come to the resting place, you would not have been revived and restored.  The enemy knows that you are a warrior so he depends upon you fighting continuously, so you are ready, you fight until you become wearied out, as you do so a level of fear and distrust comes in.  It happens because you have started out in faith and you ended up in the flesh.  You could not hear Me saying to you come, come into the corner of the ring that I have provided in order to refresh you and give you a higher perspective.  I am using a different tactic, I know the enemy's moves, and I Am way ahead of him.  What I need from you is to listen to My instructions, they may seem foolish, for you have spent your lifetime trying to reason out a new way when you have felt cornered.  You are used to coming out fighting, so when I say "rest, take your hands off, give it to Me", it seems out of line with your ways.  I have told you My ways are higher and they seem foolish, but I am an expert of using My ways to confound the wise.  Come and rest now, I have a greater way and it will be to your advantage.  I will cause you to receive fresh vision and hearing.  The very thing the enemy was using against you, the multitudes of troubles and giant circumstances, I will turn them around for your good.  All I ask is that you remain full of thanksgiving, hearts abounding for all the good things that I have already done.  You will emerge from the hiding place with greater purpose and more wisdom from on high, with My counsel and My plan for victory once again.  You will have taken your seat with Me in heavenly places, where the view is clearer and your hearing is not impaired.  There I can whisper the revelation for your victory, remember, your ways are not Mine.  My ways are so much higher, your ways have brought you to the valley, and more hedged in passes.  My ways are in songs of deliverances, remember the last time you truly trusted in Me and the outcome brought you good and into promises being fulfilled.  Here is where I sing My deliverance song and use the things of the enemy to turn on Him and make you a stronger you.  Cast all your cares on Me, cease from your warring in the flesh and come rest and learn of Me.
 
     "You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance" (Ps. 32:7)
     "Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]" (1 Peter 5:7)
     "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day]." (Gen. 50:20)

     I have made for you a place, a place that supplies every need and all you need to do is hear My voice, and follow Me.  In spite of what you feel, see, think or hear, follow, and as you do says the Spirit of grace and mercy I will cause your life to abound.  Abound in healing, abound in prosperity, abound in soundness, abound in wholeness.  I will cause every part of you that has been broken to be made straight and fixed says the Lord as you follow Me, follow Me all the way.  I know the way for everything you need, I have already made the way for everything you need all you need to do is follow Me, follow Me all the way.  As you do says the Lord, you will abandon your mind, you will abandon your plan, you will abandon your schemes, you will abandon your thought processes that are not renewed as you follow Me.  I will continue to renew you by My Word, so you can follow Me by My Word and not by what you see and hear, not by what you feel.  My Word is the map of life for you and will not lead you astray.  It has been proven time and again to be faithful and dependable.  Follow Me, for I have a great and mighty plan I want to show you in your lifetime.  I want to reveal to you who I really am, I Am your Father, good and kind, I Am a merciful healer, deliverer and restorer.  I Am all the things you ever need.  I Am the one who speaks to you in the midnight season, causes you to come out into a large place and a resting place, when you do not know a way out.  I Am the Lord God almighty full of power, yet full of glory and mercy for you.  Follow Me, follow Me all the way says the Lord, and you will come out victoriously as you stand in the midst of the land I have given you.  You will stand in victory claiming and proclaiming that there is none like Me.  No longer follow your own mind, plans, and thoughts, those that do not line up with My will.  Many say that they have heard Me and yet they have not truly known My way. I have given you the greatest opportunity ever, that is to follow Me.   You can choose not to go your own way and do your own thing, you can be an exceptional person of faith, by learning to follow Me.  Many say that they are Mine, yet they are not willing to follow My Word, My counsel, or My way, they go about forging their own way and then wanting Me to follow them.
     Follow Me, follow me all the way giving glory and honor all the way.  Before you were formed in your mother's belly, I knew you and had ordered steps for you to take.  These steps were to bring you into a deeper walk and a greater place of knowing Me as you simply follow.  I know that your reasoning can not comprehend most of the steps that I have for you to take, this is why you must learn to trust.  I assure you that every step that you take outside of your own reasoning with Me is a step of great faith, that causes your faith to soar.  Trusting Me is what it will take as you follow Me.  It is where "the few" have traveled, but all who have followed Me have never been sorry that they have.  For where I lead brings peace, protection, and provision.  The "great" in My Kingdom understand that this is what real faith looks like, following Me into the uncharted places where you begin to know Me.  Step in line with Holy Spirit where He leads and guides you into a hiding place where you are made stronger, wiser, and more sensitive to Me.  Start a new journey this year with Me, I have promises that await you as you follow Me.  We want the best and greatest for you, come follow Me.
 
     "If anyone serves Me, he must [continue to faithfully] follow Me [without hesitation, holding steadfastly to Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]; and wherever I am [in heaven’s glory], there will My servant be also.  If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him." (John 12:26)
     "Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged." (Isa. 51:1)
     "Thus says the Lord God, “Woe (judgment is coming) to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit [claiming to have seen things] but have [in fact] seen nothing." (Ezek. 13:3)
     "But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth].  For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].  He will glorify and honor Me, because He (the Holy Spirit) will take from what is Mine and will disclose it to you." (John 16:13-14)

Good morning, 
 
     Do you remember when you first heard My voice?  How strong and still yet gentle I was to you.  You were completely opened to Me.  I Am the same Father that gently led you from the valley of your choices and decision, and everything that the valley represented.  I stand ready to do the same for you everyday and as you heed My voice every decision that is made will be directed by Me for your good.  You must allow Me to go before you and be your Lord, your Master.  I will only do as you will, I will not make you do a thing unless you are willing to be made.  The enemy forces, I desire willing hearts and minds.  So, an open heart and one filled with the passion of loving Me is what will cause you to be great in Our Kingdom. 
     Understand that there is much to be done here on earth, as We prepare a place for you.  I have open arms ready to receive all who will receive Me as their Lord and Savior.  You, therefore need to be in the position that all of heaven needs you to be in.  It is only there that you can fulfill the call and ministry.  It is there that you become the most anointed and powerful, where you affect all lives that you were designed to.  Yes, I have placed you in some difficult places in order to be the only light that many will see.  Light shines brighter in the dark.  This light is fueled by My love and truth.  You must draw from My consistent supply.  I know the path and the steps that you must take in order to shine brighter still.  Love, My love fuels the power for Holy Spirit to demonstrate My signs and wonders.  Deliverance is wrought through and by this love that is spoken in truth.  You know that love, real love begins in My house where every one that loves Me has had My love shed abroad in their hearts.  My family is where you grow up in love.  Where the knitting together as one body in this love, takes place as you allow or yield.  This love makes you an unstoppable force as My body.  This love causes your focus to be more Kingdom minded.  My love will never fail, so real power is drawn from here.  My love is ageless and boundless.  Always choose My love, wait to see what My love says and does, and you will never fail!
 
     "By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you have love and unselfish concern for one another.” (John 13:35)
     "Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)?"(Rom. 6:16)
     "From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in [unselfish] love." (Ephes. 4:16)
 
Love,
