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)

Hb3
 
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)

Good morning,
  
     Just like the enemy walks around seeking whom he may devour, so My spirit walks to see who He can show himself strong on their behalf.  Even so, right now I Am looking at the hearts of some and I can show myself strong on your behalf for I see your heart, your heart is open, ready to receive, desperate and longing for more.  You came here this morning not just to have another church meeting but you came to meet with Me and because you came to meet with Me, I will explode into that open heart like you have never experienced before.  I will begin to reveal and uncover ways, secret things, things that you have longed to hear and know from Me.  I will make known to you because I have seen your hearts, says the Lord.  
     And for those who have closed the door of their hearts, I have passed over you, but I Am waiting for you to open your heart, for I will not force My desire upon you.  I am a merciful gracious father and I long for you to know Me, know Me even as you are known by Me.  For I desire for you to know Me in a new way, a better way, a clearer way, a way that you can walk boldly from this moment on and never be ashamed and never be afraid.  I see that open heart says the Lord, and I come and sup with you this morning for a supernatural change and a visitation that you have longed for.  Open your hearts.
     I Am breathing life, and bringing life into every dead circumstance, dead situation in your life and it is dead because the enemy has declared it.  He has been marching around and speaking in your ears and in your thought life telling you that it is a dead thing.  But I have not declared it dead yet, says the Spirit of grace and mercy, I Am breathing and resuscitating life into that vision, into that dream, into your purpose, right now says the Lord and it shall live and it shall declare My glory and show the world that I Am God and there is none like Me, none can stand with Me and none can oppose Me.  I Am God all by Myself and as you give Me glory, you will experience a God just like this in your life and you will not be the same.
     "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" (1 Peter 5:8)
     "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heartis perfect toward him." (2 Chron.16:9)
     "No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." (2 Tim. 2:4)

Good morning,
     Take these moments when you are being still in My presence for then I Am speaking volumes of wisdom and insight.  Instructions, and direction become clear, because then as you are still in My presence that is when I can truly show My strength on your behalf.  I can open up your mind to reveal spiritual movements, the ways that I Am able to move in your life, as you keep your heart and mind free from bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, and hatred.  Also I will uncover and make clear the ways that the enemy brings in deception I can reveal and uncover those areas.  I can cause your eyes to see the things that I see in the stillness of My presence.  It is while you are still and keep a pure heart that you become more alert to Me and My presence in the spirit.  As you are quiet in My presence I begin to speak to you to give clearer understanding for things that I have said to you over and over again.  My desire is for you to live free of deception and with My mindset.  I have given you everything needed to excel from one level of glory to another.  If you would only hearken and obey once revelation comes, you must do.  Your ability to walk free, your ability to walk whole and to walk boldly in the revelation hinges on your obedience to do it otherwise you are just receiving words upon words and you are heaping fire upon yourself as you choose not to do the words that I speak.  I am wiping your slate clean once again, because I Am merciful, I Am gracious and I Am kind.  From this point on says the Lord, hearken diligently to My voice, for your life, your salvation depends upon your obedience.  We are in a season where the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world and the spiritual wickedness in high places are throwing everything they have at their disposal while they are loosed on an assignment of destruction greater than ever, for they recognize the season even more than My people do.  My people now that are hearing, recognize that this is no longer a skirmish.  This is an advancing, this is a battle, this is a war for your soul and you must step up to the plate and fight.  You must not put your weapons down any longer, depending on your own strength, your own wisdom, your might.  Rid yourself of the familiar old enemy of hate, bitterness, jealousy, and that company.  You must gird yourself with the abilities that I have given you so that you can stand strong and be valiant against the enemy.  For I have raised you up for such a time as this.  
     So stand, stand with your head held higher than any spirits that would try to come against you, for I have fully equipped you, made you able to be victorious in every circumstance.  Heed My voice more than you have ever heeded My voice before for I Am urging and warning My people like never before to stand erect, hear, and be obedient to My voice.  This is My cry to My children.  This is the cry for the battle that is raging against your soul, you must be valiant, be diligent, be warriors in this season.  Keep your mind stayed on Me and set on My Word.  Be quick to forgive, love, and live in peace with My children.  You stand strong and I will see to it says the Lord, that you will cross the finish line, and you shall receive a crown of glory for all that you have endured, for all that you have struggled through, for all the fights that you have won, you shall receive a crown of glory.

     "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephes. 6:12)
     "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clam our, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Ephes. 4:31-32)
     "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." (Matt. 5:8)

Good morning, 
 
     It is my pleasure and desire to see you succeed in every area of your life.  Look and see the hosts that I have equipped you with, that I have given you to walk with.  Yielded, yielded, yielded right now.  Open your spirit eyes and see, says the Lord, there is nothing too hard or too difficult for you to do, even those things that the enemy told you at one time were impossible for you to do, it is now possible because you are yielded.  For you are of the number that seek the Kingdom and My way of being.  This is how I have fully equipped you to walk daily, not just in the sanctuary but daily in your every day life, overcoming any obstacle, any trap, any snare, because you are yielded, walking hand in hand with Me and My spirit.  Yielded to the unction, the direction, and the instruction of the Holy Spirit.  You will become unstoppable by the enemy and he will recognize that you are a force to reckoned with.  The blinders are now pulled off of your eyes and you can see things clearly that were once left in the dark and you could not see clearly, but now I have pulled the blinders off to avail you to see the things that the enemy tries over and over again to assault you with.  You are rising, rising up high, untouchable by him any longer because the anointing rest upon you, and you are slippery to the touch.  Keep on running says the Lord, do not look back.  You can hold your hands back to reach out, but do not look back for any stragglers, you run, you run hard.  For the goal is set before you, keep your eyes on the goal, keep your eyes on the prize.  There are many that I have assigned to run with you, they are keeping the pace, but keep your eyes on Me and you shall win, you shall overcome, you shall be victorious.
     "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside ever weight, and the sin which does so easily best us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1
     "Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you." Proverbs 4:25
     "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Luke 12:31-32
