Good morning,
     There is a clarification of hearing that I Am causing to come to pass for all that have practiced listening strategically, and I Am positioning you to see and hear things that you have never seen or heard.  But with greater clarity comes a greater responsibility, so that when you hear you quickly obey, obedience is critical in the time that we are in right now, says the Spirit of the Lord.  So when you see in the realm of the spirit into the supernatural, you will cross over borders and boundaries that have hindered you from understanding some things.  For with deeper understanding comes a certain degree of responsibility, where you must obey quickly.  You can no longer be hindered by carrying the weight of the world, the cares of this world and the circumstances and the situations of your life that blind you from walking freely and boldly into the things that I have declared over your life.  Every promise that I have given you in the past will come quickly says the Lord, for this is the season of acceleration and with that comes a great responsibility of obedience too.  So be quick to hear, quick to see, and understand for I Am uncovering and unveiling a revelation of things that up until now you did not truly understand.  But you will understand and with that you will want to be obedient, you must obey, for this is the time and the season that you have stepped into.  I Am looking for obedient ones that I show Myself strong on their behalf, and that I may cause my blessings to stay upon them as a shroud or a cloak.  Your obedience reveals your real love for Me.  This is your time of greater blessings, I have spoken it over you once and I Am saying it again.  Everything that has been lost, this is the time of restoration, because of the great obedience to My Word.  You will overcome and walk in a level of maturity that you have not done until now.  Things that once kept you bound from walking in complete and total freedom, will be loosed from your life.  If you will allow and let Me, I will do beyond your highest expectations.  I Am searching deeply in the hearts of men and women who have availed themselves and yielded their members to Me.  I will quickly correct and straighten out those crooked places that have caused you to wander around in the wilderness and I have declared over you that you will step into your promise, that I have given you.  Lives and souls are at stake for you are walking now as the Joseph’s of this generation.  Not only are you giving to them the things that you have stored up but it will come with great power and great ability, says the Lord.  You will do great signs and wonders and many things shall come to pass in these days that will cause men and women to come quickly to the kingdom and they will be established quickly and they will grow quickly for the time is at hand and you must be busy, more busy than ever before about My business.  This is not the time to be slothful, nor the time to pull away for it is time to draw closer and nearer to Me so that you can hear, so that you can see with greater clarity, says the Lord. 
     Because of the times and season that we are in, and because of the deceptive, vast darkness that has covered the earth, I Am causing greater light, greater understanding to come.  So that you can walk in the midst of the darkness and be not touched by the things of this world, and not be twisted by the veil of this world, nor the cares of your own life, nor the deceitfulness of riches, nor the lust of other things will come in and choke My Word out of your heart.  But in this moment you will be strong and you will do exploits and will not be moved by the things that are seen.  Rather you will be moved by the unseen realm because you are stepping into another realm of My glory, and with glory comes a greater responsibility.  Because you will move into the level of glory that the world has been crying out for generations.  For generations many have been crying out to walk in this glory, and I am causing that glory to accelerate and abound in this season.  So with it comes that greater responsibility but do not be afraid, be bold and walk into it like never before.
     "If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love." (John 15:10)
     "Every valley shall be lifted and filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked and uneven shall be made straight and level, and the rough places a plain." (Is. 40:4)
     "But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self-indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the business of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose;" (Luke 21:34)

Good morning,

     "Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward.  For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised. For still a little while (a very little while), and the Coming One will come and He will not delay.  But the just shall live by faith [My righteous servant shall live by his conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, and holy fervor born of faith and conjoined with it]; and if he draws back and shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight or pleasure in him." (Heb. 10:35-38)

     You hear all the things that are coming upon the earth and yes, these things will come and they must come to pass in preparation for My coming.  My people are divinely protected and have always been protected!  If you will look through My Word you will see that anyone who will come underneath the shadow of their God is always protected no matter what goes on in the world.  If there is famine in the land and you are underneath My protection you prosper, if there is sickness, disease, plaque, death, and destruction, those who are underneath My protection will live and survive.  So I Am saying to you My people do not fear anything!  In fact as the borders are being diminished and overtaken by enemies, I say your borders shall be divinely protected, for I have already sent out warring angels to stand garrison around about My people to keep them in all of their ways.  Even when you are asleep I Am surrounding you, keeping you and protecting you, for the enemy desires to sow wicked things into your mind while you are sleeping, so that when you awake you are impregnated with his dreams, visions, and his lies, but My ministering angels stand garrison even around your mind at night while you sleep.  That is why I neither slumber nor sleep, for I Am constantly watching over you to protect you and to keep guard over you.  So I will not fail you in this season, or any season that should come upon this earth for I Am faithful.  I will watch over you, I will stand garrison around about you.  All I ask is for you to do is continue in your faith.  Your faith must begin to soar like never before, this is not the time to give up nor give away the faith that I have given unto you, the faith that has been implanted, and that you have watered in your heart.  This is the time, saith the Spirit of grace and mercy to declare and decree over your life the very things that I declare and decree over you.  For once you do, you come in agreement with Me and there is no power on heaven or earth, or under the earth that can stop it from coming to pass.  All I need is your yielded mouth, heart, and spirit, and I will come and do the work.  Quite often what has happened in your life is that you started out very vigorous, and excited for the things of the Kingdom and then times of trouble and turmoil come and you lay down the very weapons that I have give you to succeed.  So, I say to you once again to pick up your weapon of faith, pick up your weapon of confession, pick up your weapon of trusting Me, and you will see says the Lord, that you will not fail in this season.  No, the spirit of oppression, that cloud of darkness, that cloud of heaviness that has taken over this world will not overtake My people.  For your light shall shine bright even in the midst of darkness, but rather it shall grow brighter, it shall get bigger, and you shall get bigger and better, and your mind shall get clearer, your voice shall get stronger, and the deeds that you do shall be more mightier, says the Lord.  This is My proclamation over My bride and over My church, and I will not fail, and neither shall you, says the Lord.  All I require for you to do is to stay with Me, to stay with My Word, to stay in faith, and be revived day in and day out; do not let the fires go down until there is nothing left but ashes.  But allow Me, every day to help you renew and rekindle the fire on the inside of you, so that you might be strong and do mighty works in this end time.  Do not back away from the things of the earth in timidity, but be bold and speak My Word in the midst.  Do not back away from the words of the enemy, but stand declaring My truth.  Do not to back away from the things that you see, these things are temporary!  But know, fully know that you do not live by the things that you see, but your faith, your words, your life is determined by My Words, if you would line your words up with Mine victory is inevitable, your prosperity is inevitable, your peace is inevitable, the wholeness in your body is inevitable, it shall come to pass.  That is my decree and I have not changed and I will never change, for I Am not based upon circumstances nor situations, nor the seasons of the earth, nor the seasons of this world, nor the times of this land, but My Word is everlasting and I Am faithful to perform it, this I will do, says the Spirit of grace and mercy.
     "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations.  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (1 Peter 1:6-7)

     "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" (2 Corin. 10:4-5)

Good morning,
 
     Today I was reminded that we are in a war and that we are not be entangled and wrapped up in the affairs of this world!!  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, 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.  And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.  The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.  Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things." (2 Tim. 2:3-7) 
    My dear ones, to be so entangled with the world and all of the entrapments will cause you to be spiritual insensitive, and dull to respond to Me and My Word.  You must be aware of the times and the seasons according to My Word, and be alert to the signs of the times, but not overwhelmed and overcome by the news of today.  I have written to you of the things that must come before that great and notable day.  If you would know and understand My Word, you would know that this is not the time to faint but to look up!  I Am true to My promises, I will come for you!  You can count on Me, I will not leave you in turmoil.  I know how to deliver the godly that continue to live upright and habitually before Me in righteousness.  So be aware and cognizant of everything going on around you, but do not fear, in fact you must rejoice for you know that your redemption draws closer than ever before.  Shine brightly in the midst of darkness, show others that grope in the great darkness that has come upon the earth, that you can see and you know the way out!  Be to this world My city on a hill, that all men may distinguish and know the difference between you and all other deceptive ways that are being offered.  Do not allow the truth to be blurred with the lies that our enemy propagates.  I require you to be bolder in your faith, you must cry loud and spare not.  You must smash the idol gods into mere dust, by living uprightly and holy, but also declaring that you know the Way.  Do not fear their faces nor any perceived danger that may lead you into silence.  I Am with you and I go before you to surround you as a shield!  I will not let My witnesses fail.  I have and will continue to open the doors for you to declare My holiness as the one and only Way.  Many of the voices that I once anointed have become faint and have blended into the voice of the world, because of fear of becoming an outcast and rejected from their places of prominence.  That is why I Am anointing the voices of those out of obscurity and unknown places, those who have no crowds or numbers to weigh or think on.  I Am their majority and they will heed My voice and declare unashamedly and unafraid My Words to a dying and deceived generation.  They will walk in My signs and wonders to demonstrate that I Am with them.  I have always wanted those who would follow Me with their whole heart, no matter the cost.  They will not forget Me, no, I Am first in their heart.  They will obey and do exploits, it will cause many to come and I will gather My own special jewels to Myself.  These are My end-time harvesters, they will help Me gather!  Be bold, My dear ones, your Redeemer will not forget your labor of love.  Do not faint, but be renewed in your faith.  I will come for you! 
   "If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning." (2 Peter 2:20)
     "And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked, (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:" (2 Peter 2:7-9) 
     "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28)

Good morning,
     I was going to look and find a prophetic word from a previous service that was more of an alarm, or a wake up call to all that call on the name of Jesus.  I looked and it was not recorded, I was going to call it quits, but God would not let me. 
     This is the verse I heard in my heart; "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." (Is. 58:1)  My people have gathered to themselves teachers, because they have itching ears, they desire to have their flesh tickled and their senses pleased.  They would be lulled to sleep during a time that they need to be wide awake, and more alert than they have ever been before in their lifetime since knowing Me.  The enemy is hard at work deceiving them into desiring what others have in their life.  They think that what they are looking at is what I want, but they only are seeing a refracted and a distorted picture.  My people have been lusting for temporary pleasures which will leave them empty and void of Me.  Yet, I have sent many strong watchmen to cry aloud and spare not, but they will not bare or tolerate them.  They want the popular and those whose words flow like butter, causing them to slip by on lies and shallow promises, which are not what your attention should be fixed on.  You have become heavy of heart because you thought My words of warnings, and the sounds of alarm was what was making you feel weighted down and oppressed.  It was  because you were looking with longing after the fake and the impure that defiled your thoughts and made your heart heavy.  If you will not endure the warning signs that I send to divert you from falling into a deep dark cavern of true despair, you will finally wake up to your dismay and see that My prophets, My teachers, My pastors, My apostles, and My evangelists were sent to save and deliver you from the impending doom.  I have made My true gifts to you strong, so that they would not bend to your flighty ways of thinking, since you are easily moved by the popular, the secular church of this age, the church that bears My name, but not My words for this hour.  I said that in the last days there would be many that would come to deceive and lead many astray, because of the lust that was in their hearts.  All the signs of the perilous times are here, men are lovers of themselves, traitors, unholy, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of Me, despisers of good, selfish, but more importantly they have a power of godliness, but deny My power.  Open your eyes, wipe away the sleep.  Wake up, the alarm has sounded.  Do not be like the five foolish virgins, be wise.  I have fully equipped you, so that you would rise up and take your place as My mighty people to be a guide to the blind.  Do not allow yourself to be pulled into any desire to emulate the world!  My people are uniquely different, and should be glad to be so, you are to imitate Me, a higher reflection.  You have been called for such a time as this.  Arise, anoint your eyes with My oil, be refreshed!  You are not of this world!  Do not assimilate, stay My peculiar people!  Stay ready, stay alert, and stay strong in My might.  Keep the alarm sounding!
 
     "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2 Tim. 3:1-5)
     "Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken." (Jer. 617) 
     "Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is." (Ephes. 5:14-17)
 
Love,

Good Morning,
     There is nothing too difficult for Me.  You count your problem bigger than Me, but I Am greater!  I Am greater because I hold all the answers, and I have the key.  I will release the answers into your life, insight, wisdom, understanding, and ability.  It shall be yours, and there will be no demon standing before you because the greater One that abides and lives on the inside of you.  I Am rising up to the forefront in your life because you are keeping your eyes stayed on Me, you are keeping your mind stayed on Me, and then perfect peace, My peace that causes you to rise up and become a mighty warrior throughout the land.
     Do you not understand the season that we are in?  It is the time to regroup, it is the time to recalculate, it is the time to restore.  So I Am taking everything back that has been stolen from you, and I Am giving you another opportunity to go forth and advance in the kingdom.  You will align yourself with Me to take back everything by force that the enemy has taken from you.  You will stand and declare that you serve the greater One, and you are not afraid of any power that he has.  But greater power and authority I have given you to tread over every enemy and everything that would try to attach itself to your mind, your heart, and your body.  I say to you this day, you are free, freer than you will ever know.  Free, freer than you will ever know!  And so I say stand, stand fast, and act like someone who has been set free and see the chains that have been trying to wrap themselves against you, once again fall at your feet.  Declare your freedom in Me, and then begin to advance into the enemies territory and take back lives.  Act like brave and strong Ones, the victors that you are.  Awake your soul up to My voice and My way.  I am more concerned about souls than I am about your temporary pleasures.  Take back lives that the enemy has stolen!  For that is My desire, to seek and to save, line up with Me, seeking and saving, and you shall see the greater One do warfare for the souls of the people you know, and in your nation.  This is your kingdom, this is your territory, this is your land, and I say to you get your mind onto the eternal kingdom of souls, and I will fill your very heart desires.  You will find your heart being filled with My desire, as we become One.
     "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matt. 6:33)
     "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10)
     "You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [pause, and think of that]! For You send blessings of good things to meet him; You set a crown of pure gold on his head." (Ps. 21:2-3)

Good morning,
     In a vision I keep seeing a steak cooking.  The Spirit says; the natural inclination is to cut off the fat before the steak has begun to cook, so many try to do the same spiritually.  But as you begin to offer your lives on the altar, I leave the fat on, I leave and "let" the troubles, the trials, and the things that make you tender towards Me.  All of those things that you would cut away, those are the things that I allow in your life to make you tender.  Those very things that you would cut away are the very things that I use to cause you to draw closer to Me, to cause you to seek Me, to make you stand regardless.  So that once you have gone through the difficult times, your faith will arise, and you will let nothing deter your heart from Me any longer.  These are some of the things that I use, says the Lord, I use those things to build your God-character, the man and the woman that will be like Me.  So, even though you pray, and yes you should pray and come against every temptation, every trial, every test, but know that I am using some of these to cause you to grow up, to cause you to have a tender heart towards Me, to develop great endurance and patience with joy.  To develop ears to hear Me and know Me, to be sensitive towards Me.  Be discerning and know that even as you stand against the attacks of the enemy, know the things that he means for your harm, I turn and use them for your good and growth.  Be wise and understand that at the right time when your heart is very tender, I cut those things away, little by little so that you will be tender towards Me and Me alone and. You will have the season of your Father God throughout your very life.  This is My plan and this is My desire for you.  Never forget that everything that has come across your life, has been noted by Me, so if you will let Me, I will use it to make you tender, to make you more flavorful, to make your more seasoned like Me.  It is My plan and it is My purpose, though the enemy means those things to destroy you, I turn them to your good!
     "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you.  We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." (Col. 1:9-12)
     "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." (Eccles. 3:11)

Good morning,
     Do not weary yourself about the plans of the wicked one.  Do not fret about what he is doing, and what he is saying.  Do not fret about who he is using or who he plans to try to operate through, to attempt to come against you, for their plans will come to nothing in your life.  All of those schemes and plans will backfire and the pit they dug for you they will fall in themselves.  For I Am a shield of faith around about you, and I will prosper every step that you take.  For I Am for you!  I go ahead of you, and I Am a shield behind you, so that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.  I Am you way, your God, your Father, and the lover of your soul.  I have made the way for you to come cross the finish line with great grace and glory.  I will crown you for all your effort, and will cause your plans to succeed, because you put me first in your life.  I will prosper you far greater than financial prosperity, you will prosper in your mind, your will, and your emotions.  You will be one with Me.  Even the things that you thought that you could not do, but you did them anyway, out of obedience and love for Me, there is a great reward for you.  Everything that you have done for the Kingdom carries a great recompense.  I Am always along beside you, for I Am your helper, and I Am your shield and I Am the one who lifts you up when others cast you down.  I Am faithful to My Word and to My promises, and I will fulfill them.  Yes, even the plans that right now you think are crooked, I Am straightening out the crooked paths.  I will make it straight and plain, if you would only give Me your attention, and your time.  When you do says the Lord, I will speak to you in the quiet places, and you will know My voice.  I will reveal to you some higher thoughts and plans, and calm your spirit and your heart, and cause you to see the way that I have chosen for you. It is a good way.  Even though sometimes it seems that it is packed with briers and thickets, and those things that poke at you, and things that tear at your heart, I have shielded you so that nothing but good would come out of you.  I Am caring for you, says the Lord, and I Am faithful, and I will bring you to that good end.  I will never, never leave you as long as you stay faithful to Me, I will stay faithful to you, for this is our covenant agreement and I will hold you all the way to the end.  I will shield you and protect you from every dart of the wicked one and even those that you think slipped through and touched you, it is not anything that the enemy planned, he can not succeed concerning you in My arms.  All that has been allowed, I have allowed for I Am perfecting you, and turning you into a sharp threshing instrument that the enemy can never stand up against.  So, never be weary, says the Lord, for I Am always by your side, and I will do exactly as I have spoken to you in times past, for I Am your past, your present, and your future, and I will perform My Word, My faithful one!
     "Have you not known? Have you not heard?  The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound]." (Is. 40:28-29)

Good morning,
     From the beginning, from the first moment that you met Me and began to know Me, you made a quality decision that you would forever love and follow after Me.  That is why periodically throughout your life, no matter what challenges you have faced, or trials that came into your life, there were moments that you refreshed your love to Me.  And because your heart has run after My heart, I have kept you, I have preserved you, and today you stand delivered, free in your mind and heart because, of My faithfulness to you, and because of the longings of your heart towards Me.  I will bring you all the way to the finish line, to the goal because of your heart towards Me.  It keeps you separated from the chaff, it is what separates you, My sheep from the goats.  It is a pure heart, your heart that separates you from those who fall away, from those who are consumed day by day, from those the enemy lies and deceived with every small fox that comes along.  It is nothing except your heart towards Me that yearns to obey My Word and keeps you stirred up to witness and talk of My love to all who will hear.  Daily hunger and thirst for more of Me, keeps our relationship strong and makes you unique. I Am making Myself known to you in a clear way!  I will strengthen you and cause you to go to the next place, to the next level, to the next place of hunger and thirst for Me, where you are always kept by the power of My love.  Rejoice, your peace will increase as well, and you will hear My voice clearer and stronger than you have in the past.  I have been training you, to hear in the midst of any circumstance.  For in keeping your mind stayed on Me, there is no weapon that can keep you separated from Me.  So rejoice in the fact that I have kept you and I will continue to keep you as you stay in My arms, and seek My face.  I Am now encompassing and surrounding you, and giving you My favor, and My grace to keep you in the days that are ahead.  So give Me glory in the night season, give Me glory when the sun shines, give Me glory when things go well, give Me glory when things do not look good, you will be amazed at your own growth and your faith.  For your faith works by this great love!  I Am pleased with your faithfulness to Me.
     "Catch for us the foxes,the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom." (Songs of Sol. 2:15)
     "You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You." (Is.26:3)

Good morning,
     A wall has been torn down in the spirit, so step into the awesomeness of your God.  Feel the tiny drops of the deep oil of anointing flowing down upon your crown, and all around your body.  I Am covering you with divine protection so that you may walk through anything, and everything, and come out unharmed and unscathed by the things of this world.  You will hear Me even in those most difficult times because of the covering that I have poured upon you, so bask in it!  My glory, My anointing, My very presence goes before you and surrounds you so that you may always have access, and apply everything that I have given you.  For I have given you everything that pertains to your life, your livelihood and the living of the days that you have ahead.  I have given you everything, understand Me, everything!  All you need to learn how to do is to walk in it, to receive it, to take it as your own and to live a life exemplary of My grace and My anointing that rests upon you.  Then you will see the manifest presence of your God, every day of your life, for My glory will go before you as a shield and cover you as a rear guard.  There will not be an enemy that shall be able to touch or hinder you, you will be strong and do exploits in My name, for this is the day of your God, this is the day that I will be glorified in the midst of My people and My glory shall be given to you and you shall walk it out and live it out in every area of your life.  Not just here in the midst of the anointing or the people of God but out there in the world where it is most needed.  My glory shall shine, My glory shall come forth, My glory shall cause wisdom and insight and witty inventions and creative ideas to come at that needed moment.  My glory shall begin to expound, exclaim, and proclaim and go forth in My people’s lives.  My glory shall be seen upon you like never before.  Because you have been on the Potter's wheel and have yielded to My design and plan for you.  It has not always been easy for you to do, but you have wanted to be pleasing to Me.  You accepted the pruning that was necessary to bring forth better fruit.  Now you will be lifted high because you have stayed humble to Me.  So this is the season and the time to rejoice and give Me glory, for more of My glory is being poured out upon you even now!
     "Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit." (John 15:2)
     "Then I went down to the potter’s house, and behold, he was working at the wheel. And the vessel that he was making from clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he made it over, reworking it into another vessel as it seemed good to the potter to make it." (Jer. 18:3-4)
     " You have loved righteousness [You have delighted in integrity, virtue, and uprightness in purpose, thought, and action] and You have hated lawlessness (injustice and iniquity). Therefore God, [even] Your God (Godhead), has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy and gladness above and beyond Your companions." (Heb. 1:9)

Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
     I Am not slack concerning My promises to you.  I Am watching over My Word to perform it on your behalf.  Remember that as I was with My servants in the past, so I Am with you.  But also think on this, many things stand in the path between the promise and the manifestation of the promise.  When I speak, My Word goes out to bring forth that spoken Word, but the journey has just begun towards the fulfillment of that promise.  The promise is destiny and filled with adventures of your ever growing faith and trust in Me.  There are many destiny thieves, there are traps, snares, pitfalls, and great battles along the way!  Your challenge is to stay faithful and believe the promise to the end.  You can choose to let go, or hold on, it is your choice.  But listen, and take heed to this, I never change My mind, or My promises!  I Am fixed, and so is My Word.  Believe Me and believe My Word, we are one, and the same.  Many lived and saw some of My promises fulfilled in their lifetime.  For they trusted in Me and My Word.  Also there were many that died believing in the promise on this side of life, yet I say to you that they are enjoying the promise to the full.  They are truly living in their destiny now.  See I Am an everlasting, ever-living God, and Father.  So by now, you must know that I have placed in you an everlasting and an ever-living promise.  They shall come to pass.  Believe Me and believe My Word.  I Am everlasting, ever-living, and so are My promises to you.  I have placed them in you. remember always that the circumstances, and all that is happening now in this current time on this earth is temporary.  I Am the same, I change not! I never shift or move from My Word spoken to you. Believe My Word and know that My promises are sure to you My eternal ones!
 
     "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9) 
     "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (1 John 5:7)
     "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." (Mal.3:6)
