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)

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,
 
Pastor D.

Good morning,

     At different seasons there are different anointings that I give to My children, and in this season says the Spirit, there will be upon some of My people the anointing to run with horses and outrun men.  There will be upon some of My people the Elijah anointing, that anointing that outruns everyone else.  That anointing is upon those who have sought My face diligently, who have pursued Me irregardless of everything that is going on in their lives.  They have carved out a place and put Me first in their hearts and it has grown bigger and bigger, instead of decreasing they are increasing in their love for Me.  Because  of that says the Lord, I Am increasing My anointing upon you.  You will be able to do things that you thought was impossible for you to walk in, for you to see, for you to do.  I have anointed fresh your hands, your feet, your eyes, your ears, your body, yes, that body that was giving out on you, I have anointed it fresh says the Lord.  You will have the ability to soar as an eagle does when it sets itself upon a high place and beats off the old to carve out that new fresh eagle.  So I Am saying to you, a new fresh eagle has appeared in your body, in your being, in your mind, and your heart says the Lord.  You shall run fast and soar beyond your expectation because a supernatural anointing rests upon you even now.  For those who will receive it, they will go forth in a fresh new anointing and not be stopped by the lies of the enemy.  This is My anointing, it is for those in the end time so they not only endure but they excel.  Get ready says the Lord, for the eagle anointing to rest upon you. 

     "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and it faint." (Is. 40:31)
     "..but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (Dan. 11:32)
     "But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil." (Ps. 92:10)

Good morning,
 
     Something is brewing, something is brewing on the inside of My little ones.  Something is brewing, something is changing on the inside of My little ones.  All of those who want more, something is happening on the inside of you, and you know it too.  You are not the same, you do not feel the same.  You are not thinking the same, and that is alright with Me, says the Lord.  So come up just a little bit higher and see the things that I will show you, for I Am showing you great and mighty things, things that you know not of.  I will reveal the secret things to you, and many will stand on the outside and they will see that there is a difference in you and there will be a difference between you and them, but they will want it one day says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  They will need you one day, says the Spirit of grace and mercy, so as you excel do not come back, don't you come down, don't you give up, don't you slack, no, not one moment.  For you will grow, and grow, and grow beyond all expectations in Me and I will reveal the secret things and you will walk out in a new plan and a new era, and a new dimension of your life, says the Lord.  Hear Me, there will not be another person like you, says the Lord and that is okay.  Do not try to be like everybody else around about you, separate yourself so that I can pour, pour, and pour more of myself in you, and you will see a supernatural being that shall come forth that will amaze you.  This is the time, this is the season that My children will be different.  This is the time, this is the season that there will rest upon you a special anointing.  This is the time, this is the season to break forth into that special anointing.  This is the time, this is the season to be separate unto Me says the Lord and even as in days of old when the anointing rested upon My saints and there was a difference in them, there will be a difference in you says the spirit of grace.  So allow it, let it happen, take it, and receive it.  Do not reject it, do not try to be like everybody else around about you.  Do not reject it, receive it, believe it, and take hold of it, and allow it to change every part of your being.  Take hold of it and allow it to change every part of your being!
 
     "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." (Jer. 33:3)
     "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." (2 Corin. 6:17)
     "There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven—" (Eccles. 3:1)

Good morning,
 
     There is too much confusion, too much going on in the hearts and minds of My children.  Too many things calling for your attention and your affection.  They are pulling you away, and at the very least causing you to become distracted.  Set your affections on the things that are above, keep them set there.  Do not look to the things of the world, these are momentary flights of fancy, things that may happen or may not happen, but as you keep your eyes on Me, everything that I have spoken is going to come to pass.  My Word is a sure Word of prophecy, so keep your eyes focused on Me and you will be sure to come out ahead.  At the end says the Lord, there is waiting for you a crown of glory but you must press through, know that this is the season that the enemy tries to preoccupy your mind, and your heart with many distractions of the age.  Everything that is going on is designed to pull you away from Me and My purpose.  I Am saying draw closer, draw closer.  These are ancient tactics that the enemy uses, you have a Helper who will reveal those snares to you, and help you to be aware and alert.
     You must on purpose set up in your heart and mind and say, "I do not know enough about My Father, I do not know enough about His ways" and then draw closer to Me. There I will begin to reveal to you the secrets in the end times, how to stay saved, how to stay sane, how to stay whole, says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  So you must draw near to Me like never before, you must push away the things that are distracting you and calling for your attention, even those things that you love so much.  You must be diligent and disciplined.  I know your dreams, and I Am the only fulfillment, so listen and pay attention because I have given you every dream that I desire for you to have and I will perform it so that you may come to trust and know me better.  I have put My dream in your heart, as you live it out before Me it will bring comfort and encouragement, to you and to the brothers and sisters around about you to build up My kingdom.  Every dream that I have given you is for establishing My kingdom.  So pay attention to My dream says the Lord.  Once you fulfill My dream then every other dream that you have will come to pass.  Do not get so easily preoccupied with pursuing those things of your own heart that the enemy draws you away from Me.  Draw closer to Me and you will begin to see says the Lord.  I have a safe haven for you, I have a safe sanctuary for you, I have a place underneath My wings that you will never ever be removed from says the Spirit of grace and mercy. 
 
     "Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8)
 
     "But My righteous one [the one justified by faith]shall live by faith [respecting man’s relationship to God and trusting Him]; And if he draws back [shrinking in fear], My soul has no delight in him.  But [our way is not that of those who shrink back to destruction, but [we are] of those who believe [relying on God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Messiah] and by this confident faith preserve the soul." (Heb. 10:38-39)
 
     "But be on guard, so that your hearts are not weighed down and depressed with the giddiness of debauchery and the nausea of self-indulgence and the worldly worries of life, and then that day [when the Messiah returns] will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who live on the face of all the earth.  But keep alert at all times [be attentive and ready], praying that you may have the strength and ability [to be found worthy and] to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man [at His coming"] (Luke 21:34-36)
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.
