Good morning,
 
     Focus in on eternity.  Put your love and energy all back on Me once again, and your eyes you will be opened to the destiny that I have ordered for you.  You will see things as you intently gaze upon My plan for your walk.  It was obscured by your own thoughts, it has been obscured by the cloudiness of your mind, but as you worship Me these clouds will go away.  You will see and understand the direction and the instructions that you have been requiring from Me.  As you stay in a heart of worship, clouds will begin to dissipate and you will have the wisdom to operate in the knowledge that you receive.  Situations and circumstances that once caused you to trip, you will not trip and stumble over these things any longer says the Lord for I Am giving you the wisdom and grace that is necessary for you to energize every part of your life.  Now, you will activate the other areas of your life that has been stagnant.  A fresh fire will burn brightly for you, as well as ignite you to being more sensitive to Me and My heart. 
     You will be watchmen once again.  I Am speaking to My watchmen, you will hear Me for I have said in My word, My sheep know Me, they hear Me, and they obey Me.  So, just turn that corner to obedience, turn that corner once again break open your alabaster box and worship Me in simple obedience.  As I enlighten your path, you will see Me and know Me this year and you will grow greater than you thought possible.  This will be the year that you will be a giant in the army of God and the enemy will recognize that a new breed has come.  Those with clear marching orders and with wisdom to carry them out.  They are not easily deceived but they are bold, and they are powerful, and they are fully loaded to do battle against the enemy.  The reason being that they have their focused fixed on things of eternity, they choose to stay with Me in the secret place.
     "If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5)
     "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." (Pro. 4:7)
     "Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]" (Col.3:2)

Good morning,
 
     Your life is a tapestry, so every thing from your past that you think, and even things that you see hurting and harming you, I have delicately interwoven it into every strand of your being, and I Am using it for your good if you let Me.  I have a way of turning those things that were meant to harm you, around for your good, and to cause it to be the most beautiful thing made by Me, and the uniqueness of this tapestry there will be none equal.  For there will be no one that has walked the path that you have, and have succeeded and come out victorious, because I the Lord your God, have placed My hand upon you.  I have called you, even before you were formed and I knew you, yes I knew you intimately.  So I knew every detail and everything that you would go through, nothing has taken Me aback, nothing has caught Me off guard, nothing says the Lord.  I have woven it into your being, if you let Me, for it is all based upon you, I use those things to make a stronger you.  If you will not allow anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness to hinder this delicately woven beautiful tapestry, you will be amazed at what I will bring out says the Lord.  There are things on the inside of you,  the ability to touch others, there on the inside of you that no one else has, but you.  The enemy has caged you in with lies, telling you that you are no good and that you are of no avail, but I use those things says the Lord that the enemy meant to harm you with to declare that I Am faithful that I Am good, and I Am awesome and powerful in your life.  I have the ability to take those things that the enemy has brought into your life to turn it around for My glory that men might come to Me, through you, that never would have come, but because of the things you went through and your stand and declaring that My God is faithful and that My God is able then I will use you. 
     But what happens in My kingdom so often, is that you despise those that have been wounded and hurt by the affairs of this life and you begin to reject them, instead of covering them with your love and seeing to it that they become the beautiful eagles that I have caused them to be, so that they might soar to heights unknown by man and then you will share a part of that glory.  You will be a part of that victory, you will aid their tapestry as it is being forged.  You will receive yours, whatever seed you sow that is what you will receive from, good or bad, you determine your harvest.  Yet you push down and you offend by your words and you hurt them, and you keep them from soaring says the Lord.  But I say to you today, watch your words for they will come back to you, so begin to use them for good to those who you despise, to those who you think lightly of, to those you think lowly of.  I will exalt them and at the same time I will exalt you if you follow My lead, for whatever a man sows that and that alone is what he will reap.  You can not get a different harvest if you are sowing the wrong seeds.  I will make a one of a kind tapestry, as you follow My Word.
     "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." (Gal. 6:7-10)
     "Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.  For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.  Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me." (Ps. 139:2-5) 
     "He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." (Eccles. 3:11)

Good morning,
 
     For anyone who truly loves someone, they provide, and I have provided all things for you.  I know that some times, especially in dark times in your life it seems as if I have forgotten My provision for you but I pre-planned a good day for you, there is good plan for you.  So no matter what this day looks like, no matter what day you are facing, says the Spirit of grace and mercy, I have already made a good plan for you.  So you can always hold your head up, you can always dance in the rain, for you can always know that your Father hovers over you with great goodness and mercy.  And My blessings, my tokens and my favor, they surround you as unto a shield.  There is nothing, no good thing that I will withhold from you.  Everything I have given unto you, I turned it over to your hand says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  I have given all that My Son holds in his hand, I have given to you.  This is how much I love you and respect your right and your privilege to choose Me, I will not force you to do My will for you, neither will I make you choose My purpose for you.  So I say, turn your affection and your attention towards Me and upon Me like never before.  For the great things that are coming upon this earth will have two faces.  There will be the faces of evil and the faces of your Father, if you choose My way, you will see My good in everything says the Lord, even in those things that are evil.  For you will look and see what a good Father I am in the midst of those evil times that I am a great provider, you will know I Am turning all things around for you.  I have supernaturally made a way of escape for you says the Lord.  There is nothing that will catch you off guard because nothing catches Me off guard.  So stand sure knowing that I Am your Father and I am a loving Daddy, I am a faithful Father and My love for you endures throughout the ages.  
     There is nothing, nothing that you said and or have done in the past, even those things that were hurtful towards Me, I knew your heart says the Lord and I waited, I will forgive and restore our right relationship.  I waited for the turn around because I knew says the Lord, that the time that I had planned for you would come and you would not turn away from Me, but you would run to Me.  So now I rejoice says the Father even as seen in My word, as the father who gave everything to His son, who then turned around and squandered it all upon the world and the lust of his flesh, yet I waited.  The prodigal turned his heart back toward the father, repented, and was welcomed back home.  I say to you I Am waiting, waiting for the return of that great love that I put in your heart by My precious Spirit.  I know that you will love Me with an everlasting and enduring love because that is the kind of love that I have given you.  Stand sure knowing that I will not stop, I will not quit and you will not stop and you will not quit, for I have sured you up, made you stable by My Spirit.  As long as you yield yourself to My Spirit there is no stopping you and there is no end for you but only good things are ahead for My children.  So get ready and open your hands, it does not matter what is going on in the world or the things that are coming to the world.  This is the time that My children shall rejoice in the harvest of their God.  This is our time says the Lord, that the day that Joseph spoke of, "what you meant for my harm, God meant for my good",  this is that time says the Lord.  My children will experience and see the mercies of God poured out lavishly upon them.  So rejoice says the Lord, this is not the time to hold your head down because of the heaviness of the world, but this is the time to dance in the rain to rejoice even in the midst of circumstances, even they are working for your good.  I the Lord your God, I Am dancing even now, for I have the enemy in scorn and derision, I have laughed at his plans, his snares, and the devices that he used, they are being turned on his camp. 
     "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)
     "Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow." (Jer. 31:13)
     "For the LORD God is a sun and shield unto us; the LORD will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good from those that walk uprightly." (Ps. 84:11)

Good morning,

     Every step for you I have ordered, so since I have ordered every step, I Am not caught off guard by anything that you would choose to do.  I know the path you would choose long before you chose it and I have already made a way of escape.  Some of you I have brought to the desert places once again so that you could trust Me and love Me like you did when you were young and tender.  Understand that in that desert place I Am making you a blossom, a bloom, a watered garden right there in the midst of what others would call a wilderness, says the Lord, if you trust Me.  I Am not bringing you to the desert to abandon you or leave you, I bring you there to form you, to cause you to grow up, and to mature you, for you to become that garden in the midst of a dry place.  That is why I bring you to the desert places so that you can love Me once again like you did when you first knew Me.  When you abandoned all of your preconceived ideas and you just trusted Me because you did not know enough not to trust Me, and now all of a sudden you know a little bit and you do not trust Me anymore.  I Am saying to you today that I Am bringing you to this place so that you can learn to trust Me wholeheartedly.  Say goodbye to everything that the enemy is trying to bring to your heart and mind, his deception and lies, to keep you from producing.  Believe Me once again so that you can be that watered place, a refreshing spring, so that I can come and partake of the fruit that I have produced on the inside of you, then shall that fruit be good and I will delight to walk in the midst of that garden every day says the Lord.  So allow Me to grow in you those things, where the ground has been hard, hard in your heart, hard to remove and I will remove it says the Lord.  I am raking, I am pulling, I am digging, I am plowing, while I am planting and building says the Lord.  Let me do it so that you can be that watered garden.  A well of delight!
     "And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them , to build, and to plant, sainthood the Lord." (Jer. 31:28)
     "Awake, o north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits." (Song 4:16)
     "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the Valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt." (Hos. 2:14-15)

Good morning,
 
     If you desire more of Me, there is a command that I require of you, that you obey.  Have not I not said in My word that those who love Me, they must keep My commands, and as you keep My commands then you abide in Me.  As you abide in Me then you can truly ask what you will and I will do it for you.  This is My requirement, children.  I know your heart, I know your desire, but you must yield all of you, and as you do says the Spirit of grace, I will empower you to obey.  I will empower you to obey, and every time you obey a little of you dies, for I have said in My word that you must die daily.  Every moment of every day your flesh tries to rule you, your thoughts try to move you, but if you obey Me then I will call you My friends, for it is then says the Lord that I know you are after Me, that I know that you really love Me.  It is those who love Me, who then obey Me says the Lord, that I will bless and anoint, and then I will walk with them and talk with them and then understanding, insight and revelation will come clearer to them as they walk in obedience to Me.  This is the time, this is the time, for many things are going on in this life that you live in, many things are trying to draw and pull you away from Me.  Many things are calling for your attention and your affection but this is the time that those who obey, they purpose in their hearts to walk with Me all the days of their lives, they look beyond what they see in their circumstances for the revelation I have given them.  The revealing shows them that I Am doing a great and mighty work, and they keep their eyes on Me and keep their hearts steady and they will run, they will run after Me like never before.  This is My command for My children, run after Me, obey Me with all your heart and crucify your flesh daily and you will know Me in a deeper way.  So now I say if you really love Me do those things that I have called you to do and you will be My own, and you will be My treasured ones and you will be My peculiar ones, separated from the world but even in the ones who call themselves My children, you will be peculiar says the Lord.  So run, run, run after Me, keep My commandments and run after Me.

     Don’t be like Peter, just because John laid himself upon My chest, resting in Me, Peter thought I favored him because John loved me more.  I Am saying to you, do not judge and do not be harsh and critical of those who have chosen to obey Me, because as they obey Me I hearken to them.  You are in a process of learning to yield yourself, your thought processes, your flesh and everything that hinders you from consistently saying yes to Me and as you do say yes, you will recognize there is a change going on; on the inside of you, do not resist and do not fight.  I Am perfecting you, causing you to mature in an area that you have never matured before.  I Am saying yield yourself completely to Me and you will find a brand new you.  When I finish with the work that I Am doing on the inside of you, you will stand erect like you never thought possible.  You will be known as a child of obedience and many shall come and follow because of the obedience you are exhibiting in your life every moment of every day.  You are making a choice whether you will yield your will to Mine, or whether you will allow your will to be the god in your life.  This is your choice, I have given it to you but now you must choose, and when you choose I come along beside you and I help you.  Every moment I help you, you will see the revelation of understanding, for I have said in My word with all your getting, get an understanding, and as you do then you will understand what I Am doing, and why things are going on in your life and you will know, and you will not be afraid, you will not question, you will not falter and you will not fall anymore.  Instead you will hold yourself strong, you will march through this time says the Lord, and you will come out victorious and you will receive a crown of glory and a crown of victory for standing and  walking with Me, for not quitting and not giving up.  So do not be like Peter busy looking at John, wondering "why" things are happening in your life that are not happening in another one's, but keep your eyes on Me.  Steady says the Lord, steady as you march towards the goal and I will bring you to that desired place into the promises that I have given you, I will not change so I Am requiring you to stay the same.  Do as I do and you will come into that desired haven says the Lord.
 
If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments." (John 14:15)
 
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." (John 15:7)
 
"Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." (John 15:14)

P1120051
 
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." (Ephes. 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 LordAnd do not lose heart and give up when you are corrected by HimFor the Lord disciplines and corrects those whom He lovesAnd 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)

OilOnWater

Good morning,
 
     Have I not said that Holy Spirit is the oil, flowing in your human spirit.  I will take the oil of Holy Spirit and I will remove those blockages says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  It will be as if I warmed the oil and poured it down into the intestines of the your spirit and everything that was blocking you shall be moved says the Spirit of the Lord.  It shall come out, it shall depart, it shall leave you and you will never see this again says the Lord.  So hold onto my promises and watch and be astounded by My grace and mercy.  All I ask is that you move along with Me, and flow with Me.  Stand, watch, and see, the things that were stubborn and resistant to your word and to My word, they shall bow says the Lord, for it is nothing but a name and it must bow to My name says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  
     Having drank My water, the Word, does not necessarily mean that you have everything that you need.  It is a continual drinking, a continual thirst that must be supplied.  So every time that you feel the thirst or the need to quench that thirst go to My word, go and take another drink, go and take another sip.  You will find that my well is sufficient, there is plenty for you to live from, for it is for your living that I have supplied this daily water. It is for living that I have given to you that you might succeed in every area of your life.  First  is being a child of mine so that you might succeed in being just like Me on this earth.  It is not hard, I realize that you are flesh, so I have not given you anything difficult or too hard to do.  So drink from My word and you will find supernatural strength every time you do.  You will draw from that well and more strength will be given unto you to do the next step, to do the next requirement.  You will find out and be amazed that you are more powerful than you actually thought.  As you continue to drink from this well and you'll find out says the Lord, it is not hard, it is not hard to receive My promises, none of My promises.  There is a requirement that must be met for a thirsty and a hungry heart.  For as you thirst for more I will give you more, as you hunger for more I will fill you says the Lord, so continue to hunger, continue to thirst, that is the requirement.  Do not let this be a one time moment.  Too often My people think in their mind it is religion to keep going over and over, drinking over and over, eating over and over.  Do you not see that your natural man lives by the food that you feed and the water that you give to survive?  So I am saying to you, your very spiritual life depends upon the substance that I have given you, this is faith says the Lord.  Going to the well every moment that you're thirsting, going to the well every time that you sense a need, going there because I will supply and fill you to overflowing.  Some have been saved in the house of the Lord and you have let go of My vision and My purpose for you.  Circumstances and situations have beclouded your mind and you have lost direction.  I stand in the way to stop you from going another direction, to hinder you from moving into the pathway that the enemy has planned.  My plan and My purpose always remains the same to seek and to save, to bring you into that desired haven, the safe place where you can be nurtured and grow into the fullness of My desired plan and purpose for your life.  So come, keep coming.  Come.  I said come, those who are in the house.  Come, those who have lost their vision.  Come, those who have lost their way.  Come, all come.  There is more than what you have had, there is more than what you have known.  There is more of Me than man knows about.  I am so deep, I am so deep and I ask you to lose everything that you hold on to and you will find life, life abundant.
     "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;" (Phil.2:10)
     "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." (Is. 1:3)
     "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matt. 4:4)
     "For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: " (Is. 44:3)
