Good morning, 
 
     I am now calling My children back to boldness and living a life of holiness and righteousness.  You must not be afraid to live separate and holy to Me, which by the very nature of being consecrated means something that is unique and for a more valuable purpose.  I have seen that My children have grown weary of waiting for their promise to be fulfilled and so they have become filled with despair.  Many things have come to steal your joy, much comes from familiar people, circumstances, and trying situations.  I have offered many opportunities to change their outcomes by choosing My help, which include My ways, which would have answered every thing that you have come up against.  I have given you My Word which is so much higher than any other solution, but you keep going back to those things that can not deliver and have no promise attached except death.  I Am faithful by continuing in My perseverance for your complete affection and obedience.  By now you know that I will not make you, it is always your choice.  I Am waiting, for I Am patient for your undivided love, I will finish every detail that applies to your life, but not without your compliance.  When you are devoted, you will know it, there will be a stark difference between you being god and Me being your God.  I hear you saying, "but you know I love you God", I respond with My Word which says, "IF YOU LOVE ME YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS".  I know that you are aware of the truth that I know your heart, but a heart that is being led by My Spirit does what My Word says and thereby makes his mind and flesh obey the spirit which desires to please Me.  Do not be deceived by all of the lies and propaganda from the enemy that has found its way into many houses that gather together in My name, for there are many that have gone astray because of believing a lie.  They have left their "first love" and have united to other lovers who are on a mission to destroy.  I say to you to remember how far you have fallen, put your track shoes back on and run, run to win!  The spirit of "antichrist" has been growing steadily while My children have been dating with discouragement and despair.  You must withstand the enemy, but first you must renew your zeal and devotion to Me.  Follow those who are following Me, so that means you must be a lover of My Word, to know who is really following Me.  There is no time to waste, I will restore all that has been lost.  The ground that you cover now will be more intense and with great speed I will clarify everything for you.  I remember your youth and your devotion to Me, and how you preferred Me over all things.  Come back and you and I will accomplish much more than the moments that were lost as you pursued other lovers.  I Am faithful and longsuffering towards you.
 
     "Jesus answered, “If anyone [really] loves Me, he will keep My word (teaching); and My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling place with him." (John 14:23)
     "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thess. 5:23)
     "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us," (Heb.12:1)
     "But I have this [charge] against you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me].  So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will] and do the works you did at first [when you first knew Me]; otherwise, I will visit you and remove your lampstand (the church, its impact) from its place—unless you repent." (Rev. 2:4-5)

Good morning,
 
     I will stir up and remove the stagnant waters if you are willing because in stagnant waters there are insects that are not good for one's soul or their spirit, those things that eat up and deteriorate anything that would try to grow, those things that destroy lives, live in the stagnant waters.  So I have sent a fresh wind to blow away those things that were dropped like seeds in your heart, because seeds produce fruit and eventually those stagnant things left alone begin to produce.  Seeds of bitterness, those seeds of oughts, those seeds of habitual sins that you would continually commit against yourself that hurt you, they would begin to multiply and create havoc.  The stagnant water would cause you to not be able to run, keep you from accelerating, those are the things I want to stop from producing after its kind.  By My Spirit I am moving and blowing those self destructing stagnant waters, so that you can become whole and well as the Spirit wind blows through you making you whole, spirit, soul, and body.  I am making you into My army, raised up in power, might and walking with deliverance in your hand carrying that deliverance to all around you who have been in the same place, in those stagnant waters, now you can bring life to them.  You are My arms, My feet, you are My voice and you must be well, sound, and whole to bring in your nation, your neighbors, and relatives that are dying all around you.  I have sent you and I have anointed you for this final hour to bring in the harvest, so get ready and stay right on the path, and stay pure and holy so that I can use you in the days ahead to do My work   I need you to be wells of salvation, to do the work of the Kingdom, so that many might be snatched out of the fires of hell, because you are ready and prepared. Your mind and heart are single-minded now.  You have a purpose and your purpose is for the Kingdom, so we work together and our purpose is Kingdom minded.  So as long as you stay whole and well, you are staying Kingdom minded, not getting entangled in the temporary things of this world.  You will be completely used for the Kingdom, you will be completely spent for the Kingdom, and the more that you give Me the more that I will repay to you.  As you are passionate and let the freshness blow through you, the stronger you will become, the more anointed you will become and the more single-minded you will become says the Spirit of grace.  So give me everything and yield to Me all of you, and I will give you all, more grace and mercy for the time and fulfill My plan for you. 
 
     “Awake, O north windAnd come, south wind [blow softly upon my garden]; Make my garden breathe out fragrance, [for the one in whom my soul delights], Let its spices flow forth.  Let my beloved come into his garden and eat its choicest fruits.” (Song of Sol. 4:16)
     "But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your conduct [be set apart from the world by your godly character and moral courage]; because it is written, “You shall be holy (set apart), for I am holy.” (1 Pet. 1:15-16)
     "But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also." (Matt. 6:33)
 
Love,

Good morning,
 
     You have not seen how good I really Am.  You may talk about it, and occasionally see a token, but you have never really experienced my great goodness.  I Am about to do some magnificent things in the midst of those who will praise Me anyhow, I have an "anyhow" blessing that is working out for your good.  You watch and see!  I Am doing something that you thought was impossible for I Am the God of the impossible.  I make all things possible to those who believe, all I ask you for is just an ounce of your faith and then I will turn it around for you says the Lord.  I Am not a God who has favorite people, I am a God who honors His word.  So, if you will declare My Word even in the midst of the fiery furnace, guess what I will do, I will come down in the midst of the fiery furnace and I will set you free.  I will see to it that even now the flames will not kindle upon your body as you stand in fiery circumstances, and you will step out and give Me glory and honor.  Many men and women will come to the kingdom because they have seen you standing in the fire, and then they see you when you come out, and they will know that I Am a faithful God, that watch over My Word to perform it on the behalf of those who would dare to believe Me.  So lift up your hands that hang low, for I Am a God who causes the low ones to be lifted high.  I will exalt you, says the Lord, as you honor Me and humble yourself before Me.  You humble yourself before Me when you do My word, and keeping My word regardless of what is going on in your life, that is when I exalt you.  Get ready, if you have been humbling yourself before Me, by doing My word no matter what it looks like, I Am ready to exalt, ready to exalt, I Am ready to exalt!  Get ready, for many will be crowned as kings of the King, and you will see says the Lord, I place My shield of favor around My people that honor My Word.  Watch and see says the Lord, I am good all the time, and you have not even begun to see or understand how magnificently good I Am and can be to those who believe.
 
     "A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." (Prov. 29:23)
     "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:" (1 Peter 5:6)
     "Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!" (Ps. 31:19)
 
Love,

Good morning,
 
     If you love Me, do My word, if you love Me, keep my commands.  I am building a strong house, and this house is made out of those who truly love Me, who will keep and honor Me.  Putting me first place, they love Me, and purge themselves by doing righteousness, so once again I say to renew your first love.  Go back to the times that you first loved Me, and remember how close we were, there was nothing and no one who could get in between your love for Me.  Now I Am saying today, renew, rekindle, and fix those crooked places in your heart and mind, straighten those areas where you have gone astray, so that you can love Me once again like that.  You need to be able to hear Me quickly and do what I say.   
     You need to understand that this is the moment and the times that we have entered, time to be totally on My side.  There is no more time to play around with all these other gods that have come into your life.  You are now in the season where being sanctified and holy is what will separate you to be a vessel of My glory, says the Lord.  You must only have one God, only one love, and I must be the one that you pursue, I must be.   For I have said in My Word, that the Lord your God is a jealous God, and I want an undivided heart.  I have said that to protect you, to keep you in the place where you are humble, that you put Me first place so that you are not following other idol things.  Things that lead you astray, things that divide your attention and your affection while increasing their authority in your life.  Come back to your first love, place Me in the place where I alone must be, and when I am there you will see that everything in your life will begin to fall in line.  Everything that is crooked, every thought that is crooked, every behavior that is out of line, it will fall in line but I need your full and undivided attention.  The enemy is unscrupulous, he is cunning and he is seeking any that he can devour, by causing your attention to be divided, because with that divided attention you can not pay close attention to what I am saying and what I am doing.  Sure up those gates, close the gates that have been opened to the enemy, close gates that you have allowed to be opened by entertaining too many loves.  Close your ear gates, your eye gates and every gate that has opened to that devious enemy, and shut him out, tune your ears, hear only what I Am saying to you for it is crucial at this time to look and pay attention to Me and those who say what I say, says the Lord.
     "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work." (2 Tim. 2:20-21)
     "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God" (Ex. 34:14)
     "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)

Good morning,
 
     Set your mind, set your mind on Me, and by set I mean keep it  stayed there.  Every time you keep your mind on Me you will succeed, but every time you allow your mind to take you other places you fail, so set your mind on Me.  Every time that you pray in the Holy Spirit you are setting your mind, setting your mind on heavenly things where you draw your strength.  So I say pray more in the Spirit, and you will find out these things that try to move you away from the stable place.  Those things that try to steal your joy, they will become shadows in your heart, as you set your mind and keep them set on Me.  I will be magnified, and made bigger than anything you face and you will know Me in a greater way.  Set your mind and keep it set on Me.  For every time you move away from the hiding place, or move away from the safety net, you are drawn by the enemy into lies and to those things that are not true, where he tries to make his deceptive things greater.  Magnifying circumstances and situations, and the scenarios that he says over and over again to you, but I say keep your mind set on Me, for there is peace in keeping your mind set on Me.  As you will begin to think only on those things that I have given you in My Word to renew and change your thoughts, you will find yourself amazingly stronger, amazingly keener, ready, and equipped for anything.  Do not look at the circumstances and situations that surround you for they will always try to overwhelm you, but I have given you a hiding place.  Come, come into that place that I have provided for you so that there you might begin to truly know that I Am greater and bigger than anything that you face, for I have already provided a way of escape.  Beyond that I have given you everything that is needed so that you might be able to stand.  Not only stand, but to stand victoriously, so that you might come out more than a conqueror in every situation.  So I say set your mind and keep your mind set on Me and you will begin to see who you really are.  In Me you are greater than the circumstances, greater than the situations, greater than any challenges, greater as long as you keep your mind set on Me.  You are in a class that calls you to be seated above all else!
 
     "For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed." (Is. 50:7)
     "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!" (Is. 26:3)
     "And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]" (Rom. 12:2)
 
Love,

Good morning,

There's a clearer way, there's a clearer path.
 
Philippians 1:6, "Being confident (sure of, to rely on by inward certainty) of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good (useful and beneficial) work (labor, an act or a deed) in you will perform (accomplish it, finish it, bring it to a desirable end) it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
 
Romans 8:28, "And we know that all (every, any, whatsoever, whosoever, the whole) things work together (to put forth power and thereby to assist) for good (useful and beneficial) to them that love God, (to them who are the called (appointed, divinely selected, those who are the saints of God) according to his purpose (a setting forth of a thing, putting God's plan in view)."
 
Then He said look at Isaiah 1:19, it is all connected, all of the good, all of God starting His plan in you, and finishing it, and perfecting that plan is based on this.  
 
Isaiah 1:19 says, "If (dependent on your cooperation, this is in fact your yieldedness, if you have given up, if you have rendered, if you have given to God what's rightfully owed him, if you have relinquished the control to God) ye be willing (yield) and obedient, (hearken to His will, to hear with interest) ye shall eat the good of the land:.
 
     In this I can be glorified says the Lord, but what is needed is your attention to Me.  I know the way, see I have been there many times before for those who would yield to Me, they have experienced My glory, they know Me.  In My glory I mean the light in the dark, the fire that lights up the night, the cloud that leads during the day.  They have experienced My glory because they yielded.  Not many men have known My glory for they have stepped in with their own understanding and circumvented My way, but I say to you this morning, if you would yield, if you would be willing, I can do an awesome thing. You would be stunned and amazed by My glory and you will see that I am God, I am your Father, I am your provider, I am your way-maker, I am your friend, I am your counselor and I am the lover of your soul.  There is nothing that you need that I have not already provided, all I need is a yielded heart so that I can step into your life and be God.  Understand, I will not make you, that is why I have given you the will and that is why I say, if YOU be willing.  I can not make you My children.  My desire is to be known in your life, my desire is to be glorified, that men might come and see who you really are, by the works and deeds that I have done in your life.  Many would begin to glorify Me because I have been lifted up in your life.  If you want this, all it takes is your yieldedness.  I Am not holding back anything, everything belongs to Me.
     There is a Joshua and a Caleb generation, they will separate and pull away from the rest of the crowds, the ones who say there are giants in the land, and that we are not able to go up against these.  Joshua and Caleb were of a different spirit, and I say this morning, those who would have a different spirit who are saying, "yes".  They might not see clearly what I have planned, but they are saying yes to Me and because they are saying yes to Me, I have already made a way.  Some call it a way of escape but it is to bring you to your promise and that is what I did for Joshua and Caleb.  You are not too old, you are not beyond your years, you are not too young, you are not too smart or not too ignorant.  I can do it says the Lord, it is not based on your gender, it is not based on your color, it is not based on anything that man sees.  I can and will do it for those who say yes, and yield to My will.  I am about to do something magnificent in the lives of My Joshua and Caleb spirits, something that has not been recorded.  All generations have waited for this time, to see the glory that would rest upon the Joshua and Caleb's of this age.  Watch and see says the Lord, you will be amazed too.  Some of you will want to get in, so you better get in now says the Lord.  You better step by faith and move away from your feelings, and your thoughts, and your plans and your prescribed ways of doing it.  I Am greater, always greater bringing you to that high place.  Just say yes, that is surrendering, just say yes. Do not stop to reason out what that means.  You say, "What do I have to give up, what do I have to stop thinking about, what do I have to stop feeling, where do I have to stop going", just say yes.  I will take care of all the rest, to those who yield.
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.

Good morning,
 
     Those who stand with their hands stretched out and believing, they shall receive.  They will know Me as a good Father, for I will never forsake you, never leave you.  Even when you are going through the valley do not despair for I Am there, even in the valley to lift you up, to cause you to walk on high mountains.  So do not look at the situations nor the circumstances of life for I Am there with you, and I am there to deliver you to bring you out into a mighty strong land.  This is My promise to those who believe and it will not quit and it will not give up for I will not quit and I will not give up, and My promises are sure to those who believe.  So I say to you, keep on believing, don't quit believing for I Am faithful to watch over My word, every moment to perform it.  I have not forgotten one word that I have spoken over you, it is a yes and an amen.  I have sealed it in heaven, now seal it in your own heart.  I am good!
     The Lord went to the cross, he was brutally beaten, and it looked like he was forsaken, but it lead to the promise being fulfilled.  Even in the midst of whatever you are going through, it may look like I have forsaken you, but know this, I will never forsake you..  In fact I Am bringing you to the perfection, just like I brought My son.  He is the example of how I treat My sons and My daughters, I raise them up from a place of desperation and from the valley, I lift them up from circumstances and situations, so that they will know that it is My glory, My anointing, and they will learn to trust Me, not in the arm of flesh, and they will give Me glory.  I bring the dead back to life just like I did with My son. I resurrect dreams, visions, and purposes.  You are My sons and My daughters, it is a honor, and as you press in to seek My face, I will lift you up from the dead valleys of dry bones, and I will bring fresh new life to you.  If you believe, if you receive, if you stay faithful all the way through.  The promises are to those who remain faithful, who endure says the Lord, and those who endure shall inherit My promises.  Understand this says the Spirit of grace and mercy, it is not given to those who are weak of mind, for I have said if you shall faint not you shall inherit.  So do not faint, do not become weary, but hold your head up and press on says the Lord.  I have made you out of better things than you thought you were, and I will bring you to the fulfillment of My word.
     "So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable." (2 Corin. 4:18)
     "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Gal. 6:9)
     "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:" (Rom. 6:4-5) 
 
Love,
