Good morning,
  
     Today as I was sitting in prayer, Father began to speak to me, I would like to share it with you.
 
 
     Beware of the "I go a fishing" mindset.  Many of My children have gone back to their old mindsets and their old ways.  They are still sitting in My house and still declaring that I Am Lord, yet they have allowed their ways and their minds to go back to leaning on their own reasoning.  It started by not renewing their minds with My Word on a daily basis, they let a little of their old thoughts set up a stronghold once again.  They counsel others from the place of reasoning, leading them astray and directing them away from the place of trusting Me and leaning on My Word.  Their counsel is from fear and deceit.  This is not the time for sliding back to your old patterns and old idols.  Renew your mind, and continue to renew, and you will be refreshed, and cast down all other thoughts that rise up above My Word.  These are the vain imaginations that were once so familiar to you, it was natural to follow these mindsets, but then you began to change the way you thought and lined your heart with Me.  As time went on and circumstances withstood My Word that was coming forth from your mouth, you began to slide back from My promises, first making excuses for why things did not work out the way, and in the time you felt it should have.  After awhile you started choosing your old mindsets over My Word, thinking I would not do what I promised in My Word for you personally.  You, like My disciples chose to lean and trust in the once '"familiar".  Know and understand this, if you choose your ways and allow your mind to plan your ways, you will eat the fruit of your hands and your "idol" will bring you despair.  The fruit of your choice will be doubled and the results will come back faster.  It is time to be still and know that I Am God.  Know that I desire for you to really know that I Am faithful to My Word concerning you, and there is no time or circumstances that can stop Me from fulfilling My plan for you.  Only "one" can hinder and bring to halt My purpose for you, and that is you!  You must cooperate with My plan and purpose by continuing to believe and trust Me.  I need your whole heart to line up with Me and My word, you can not be double-minded.  I have said that a double-minded man is unstable in all of his ways.  That person will receive nothing!  This is easy to understand, you can not really stand and after having done all, stand therefore, when you are unstable.  That means you waver between My Word and your thoughts.  This person is always leaning towards the "one" that will bring quick and easy satisfaction, and "one" that does not require any faith.  Beware, and "do not go back fishing", for it will profit you nothing.  Do not put your trust in the arm of the flesh, for it can not bring you to My best, it can not deliver, provide, make whole, or place you in the center of My will, it will bring depression, destruction, demotion, and deceit. 
     I will help you to stay pure in your trust and keep you sound of mind.  Run to My Word, let My Word be the measuring stick for all things.  Come back to your First love and I will see to it that you finish the race that has been set before you.  As you submit your way to My divine way, you will increase and bear good fruit that you will enjoy as well as others.  Do not slide back into old patterns and mindsets, exercise endurance and patience with joy.  You will continue to grow in your knowledge of Me into a clearer and deeper intimacy with Me.  Commit your way to Me, trust Me and I will bring it to pass.  You will not be disappointed in My counsel, nor My way, it is oh so very good!
 

     "Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing.  They say unto him, We also go with thee.  They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing." (John 21:3)
     "For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.  [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)," (2 Corin. 10:4-5)
     "Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting).  For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.  For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord, [For being as he is] a man of two minds (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), [he is] unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything [he thinks, feels, decides]." (James 1:6-8)
     "A man’s [moral] self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil]. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]." (Pro. 18:20-21)

Good morning,
     In our services the Father is directing us to renew our passion for Him.  To stir up our love for Him and lay our lives down afresh and anew.  Here is some excerpts from our Sunday service.  I pray that you are awakening your love and passion for Him as well!
     "It’s between you and God and He wants to do something, He wants to recover a lost love that you had for Him.  He wants to move away the ashes of life, the things that have clouded your mind and your heart to keep you from seeing Him as He is.  He is the true and only lover of your soul, the everlasting God, the One who will always be there, the One who will never leave you nor forsake you.  He wants you to keep your eyes on Him, no matter what’s going on in your life.  Just run to Him this morning, that’s where He’ll meet you.
     Why the altar?  Every time in the Old Testament when there was something to remember, something significant that God was doing in one of the Patriarchs' lives there was an altar made.  So this is your altar of remembrance, where you meet with Him and you remember what He spoke and did, as well as what you said."
     The Spirit of the Lord says, that some time ago He warned us about the spirit of offense, that it  would be strong and that it is sent from the pit of hell to wrap around the heart and mind to keep one from seeing clearly and hearing clearly. 
      Listen clearly, it is not only going to affect your relationship with your brothers and your sisters in Christ, it is going to affect your relationship with Me.  It is not worth you keeping or harboring oughts and unforgiveness, so today, you need to prepare an altar, you need to.  If you want to go on to the next level with Me, and I guarantee you this morning, there will be no further advancement for you, until you take authority over it.  It might seem like you are advancing because of man, because man will do anything to appease you, or to please you, but I have blocked your way until you get rid of that spirit of offense.  I exalt the humble man, and I withstand the proud ones.  Those who are humble are doers of my Word, they make it their aim and goal to grow up in the Kingdom.  Their desire is to please Me by keeping My Word, these are true lovers of Mine.
     But the proud make excuses and harden their hearts as they shout aloud to Me about their rights, and how others are taking advantage of them.  I will not advance you, I will hinder everything you put your hands too.  I have said that My way is easy, and that it is, because in the end, if you always choose My way, you will always come out ahead!  I will correct and straighten out the crooked and hard places, people, and situations for the humble, obedient, loving child will inherit all things that I have promised.  I will give you My ability to accomplish all things that I have told you to do and I will give you the grace to live like Me in the promises.  You will not get lifted up in pride as long as you stay loving Me by doing My Word.  So if you will let go of offense this morning a bright light and a broad horizon will open up for you.  Yes, like a new day, a new dawning.  See I set before you life and death and I say choose, and it’s always your choice.  The fulfillment of your destiny is in your hand and in your mouth!  Will you love Me by keeping My commandments?
     "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and I will manifest myself to him." (John 14:21)
     "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deeds." (James 1:25)
     "But He gives us more and more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it)." (James 4:6)

Good morning,
     Everything as you know it, is coming to an end, everything, that is usual and common place is coming to a close.  And the wicked one has gone out as a roaring lion and he is seeking some who he may devour in this season.  Many have strolled into his pathway because they have removed themselves from under the shelter, they have come out from under the shadow.  They have not yielded to Me nor my Word and the enemy is destroying their lives and their minds.  He has then moving under a dark cloud, their hearts have become hardened and therefore their understanding is darkened.  They have allowed bitterness and unforgiveness to rule their choices.  I say unto you, as great as the wickedness is, My glory is greater, greater is My mercy, greater is My grace, and I have sealed you and I will keep you.  If you will allow Me to do so, I will.  Those who will be kept, they will be kept says the Lord, by My love abiding and growing in their hearts.  There will be nothing, no matter how it comes, no matter how great and terrible the enemy may make it seem, you and I are greater.  You are greater, says the Lord.  And you will begin to walk in it and you will begin to know how great the power of your God really is.  All that I have given to you will be as an umbrella over your life, says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  And even though the enemy is seeking to devour some, especially those who are ruled by the stronghold of bitterness and unforgiveness, and you will see those who he is devouring, for they will be easy for you to discern by My Spirit.  But you will be kept by the umbrella of My protection, because you decided and decreed and made up in your heart and your mind and you yielded.  Yes, you yielded to My preserving and keeping, says the Lord.  See, I can only keep those who want to be kept and I will not make anyone go against his own desire.  When you choose My Word above your feelings, your desires, and your understanding, and despite any and all situations, you will experience a blanket of peace in the midst of storms of life.  And as long as you stay under Me, as long as you stay under My Word, there will be nothing, no weapon formed against you that shall prosper but you shall come out greater, more powerful, more anointed, always on top, and knowing more of Me.  This is our finest hour, and it is not the days of defeat for you since you have chosen wisely.  It is the hour of victory, so rise up says the Lord, like never before.  You will go throughout the land, and begin to yank souls back from the wicked one, as he decrees that he’s destroyed them, you will exercise My wisdom and take them back says the Lord.  Some will run to the Ark of safety.  Those who will have been made willing by the things that they have encountered while walking on the broad way.  
     For this is our time and you have been given power, more power than you realize, but now you are going to understand, you are walking in a higher level of revelation.  You are going to see and you are going to know who you really are says the Lord.  This is Our greatest hour.
     "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat" (Matt. 7:13)
     "For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." (Heb. 5:13-14)
     "Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:" (Ps. 95:8)

Good morning,
     This is a vision that I received from the Lord as we were worshiping.  Then the Lord begin to speak to us.  We are surrounded by His great love and it is like a waterfall.  We are surrounded by a waterfall, and each and every one of us who wills is sitting there covered by this waterfall, as refreshing water covers and hides us.  And in the midst of that waterfall, it is like a haven, there are trees, trees of life, trees that have fruit hanging low to the ground for us to have easy access.  As we partake of the fruit that is hanging there, we are aware that God has supplied in the midst of this waterfall, divine protection.  With each bite we are being strengthened, we are being encouraged, we are being delivered and set free.  We are being healed and raised up right under the care and covering of the waterfall.  Many evils lurk outside the waterfall, but it can not come near us.
 
And I hear the spirit of the Lord saying:
 
     I have provided for you a safe place, a refuge, a hiding place, a place where, even though the cares of this world bombard and come against you, you are protected in this hiding place.  No matter what happens on the outside, you are strengthened, and you know that you can carry on.  You continue to grow from the strength you are receiving under this covering of this waterfall.  For you are receiving the fruit that is necessary to cause you to grow, to excel, to be strong, and to have wisdom, to have insight, to have knowledge and understanding and then when you come forth from the waterfall, You are able and capable of doing exploits.  As you step forth says the Lord, My water begins to wash over you, in purity, wholeness, and My purging takes place.  As you step out into this world, you are more than enough to face all things, for you know that My covering has no equal, and you have greater power, greater authority, greater wisdom because you have been found hidden inaccessible in that secret place that I have provided for you.  Giving you My counsel of wisdom, insight, and My ability beyond your own capability, and you are no longer going to deal with the world, nor with the things of this world from your own strength, your own wisdom, your own insight, your own ability for you recognize how inept that is.  And now you are totally yielded and surrendered to Me.  This is the army, the end time bride of the Lord.  The one that has prepared herself and set herself aside in that secret place and have partaken of all that I have provided for them.  You are the ones who walk as God's own chosen upon this earth, and men and women will begin to tremble, when you begin to walk as boldly as I have decreed and declared.  Step over into the power of your hiding place and covering!  This is our finest hour, even in the midst of it, when the enemy is telling you that it is not, for he is a liar and the father of lies.  I have decreed and declared upon you a greatness that he can not understand nor does he comprehend, otherwise he would have stayed with Me, and yielded to My way, says the Lord.  Because he’s a liar and the spirit of deception rests upon him, he tries to get you to be deceived, and confused about who you really are.  For the final hour has come for My children, and I have purged them and washed them and made them to understand who they really are. 
     And in that waterfall there are mirrors all around and you begin to see the glory of your God and you know who you are.  You and I are one.  And you walk from this place, not as mere men any longer, but as the gods of your God.  And you understand that I have given you all authority over all the power of the enemy and now you will decree a thing and it will be done says the Spirit of grace and mercy, from the place of the hidden and the inaccessible place of My power and My love and My mercy.  For those who will yield, and yield and come aside with Me says the Lord.  This is the greatness that I have ordained in this final hour.
     "For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.  Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah." (Ps.32:6-7)
     "Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.  They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God." (Ps.84: 5-7) 
     "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Corin. 3:18)

Good morning,

     The way is narrow, the way is narrow, the way is narrow.  Many are called, but few are chosen and the way is narrow.  I have invited many to come to the wedding feast, many have said I have this to do, I have that to do, I can not come and the He is saying to the angels go and gather those in the highways and the bi-ways; the rejected, the downtrodden, bring in the people who are lowly esteemed, bring them.  I will lift up the low places in your life and make them the highest pinnacle of Your life.  In order that the world may know that you are Mine.  Here you will do My greatest pleasure, as you cause My name to be known, by living a life filled with more of My glory.

     There are things coming upon this world that men have never even conceived even in their darkest memory, darkest thought, or wildest imaginations, but I will preserve My own like never before.  I Am placing upon them a special anointing, a distinguishing mark, My set apart people.  They will not detour, they will not be removed, they will stand firm, they will never entertain leaving Me, for they recognize the season that they are in.  In fact they are turning up the fire.  And as I anoint them with more of My presence, they will become like Jacob, he wrestled for the blessings.  They will not quit until they see those promised things in their lives.  They will wrestle for those blessings that belong to them and they will have them, says The Lord.  They have tenacity, they are bold, and they will encounter My face and truly reflect My glory.  You are My ministers and My priests, my best.  This is that set apart generation that will yield to My double anointing and My glory shall lead them into the most powerful moments.  I give them double so that the restoration of all things will come into their land, into their households, into their minds, and into their hearts.  Everything that the enemy stole.  Yes, he creeped in and stole some of your joy, some of your peace, some of the soundness of your mind and heart but I am restoring it, says the Lord.  Now with great clarity you will hear Me, you will understand some things that you have grappled with as you walked with Me.  Revelation.. you will walk in it and live in it like never before.  You will be glad to walk on the narrow road and will joyfully summon others to come and enjoy the blessings of staying close to your Father.  This is that generation and you will usher in my coming like never before.  You will not have the flames put out, but you will stand on a hill, and you will light and ignite the flame over and over, until it is seen from afar, says The Lord.

Luke 14:16-23 "Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.  And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.  And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.  And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.  So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.  And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.  And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."

Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

Isaiah 61:6-7 "But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves; For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them."

Good morning,
    
     I am giving to you the "great escape" into your promised land here on earth.  For some of My children it has been a wilderness experience, where you have been living from one miracle to another.  Yes, you have found Me to be your provider, and your preserver there in the wilderness.  Now you will experience Me in a greater capacity as both a provider and preserver, and much more.  I will be unparalleled in My attention to the smallest details in bringing about My great plan for you.  Your wilderness experience has caused you to develop patience as you waited on Me.  Now stand and be amazed, just when you thought it was all over for you, the sun will arise in its brightness!  It will shine on the steps that you will take, they will lead you higher and higher until the day that you come home to be with Me.  Your light has come.  So, then from this moment on because you have committed yourself to living wholly for Me, you will ascend to the heights that I planned from your beginning!  This will increase in you My joy, and you will know real joy, unspeakable and full of glory!  Glory, glory that will open up to you My ways of being and doing right.  The cares of this world will lose its grip from your heart and you will keep climber higher until you are found complete in Me.  I Am covering you with My shield of favor, all will begin to look and see, some will only see that you are lifted high, others who have developed their spiritual sight will see My uniqueness all over you.  This is how I will give you the great escape from the old ways and the old paths into Mine.  I Am arising upon you, My humble and obedient child, your due time has come.  It will seem like a dream to you at times, it will be surreal!  I have kept My best for this generation, those that will stand for Me in the darkest days known and will burn brighter.  Those who draw closer to Me will lean more upon My hand and will hear with clarity My voice, therein following My wisdom and getting more understanding as they go on their way to enjoy the promises that I have laid up for them now. "
     "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you". (Is. 60:1)
     "When the Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal]."  (Ps. 126:1)
     "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:" (1 Peter 5:6)

Good morning,
     Today I will share with you a portion of a personal word that I received, I know that as you read and meditate on this word, that it will be a blessing to you as well.
     This year will be a year that My Spirit will continue to set you free from years of a generational entanglement and stronghold that has kept you from soaring to the spiritual heights that I have designed and planned for you to take.  This year has started off with multiple small foxes that have tried to stunt the growth of the garden of your heart and life, but I haven't finished my pruning yet.  The "miracle grow" that I will apply by My Spirit will jump-start My design, right in the midst of the small, multiple foxes that have been nibbling at the fruit that has taken years to grow.  Those years and seasons of testing and trials have never been in vain, I have been working in your heart and cutting away all things that ensnare your thoughts and your heart.  Many situations have come to break your heart, but I will use those very things to make your heart firm and trusting in Me.  The ministry and call that is upon your life has made room for you, I have enlarged your steps under you so that you will walk more stable and sure.  Yes, the things that were so hard to endure have been turned around in your life, so that you are able to endure more.  Because you have remained pliable and teachable to Me, even when other have fallen away or grown bitter because of the work that I do in their hearts, you have stayed humble.  By keeping a soft heart towards Me, you have set yourself in the place for Me to exalt you.  Yes, you have conformed more and more to My Spirit in your life, so expect miracles, signs and wonders to accompany you as you step into the destiny that I have preplanned for you to live in.  Only speak the word that I give, for during these times of pruning your ears have become more sensitive to My voice.  I have raised you on the back side of the desert, the place where many of My servants are matured and made ready to be a "life- tree" to many that take fruit from their lives.  You are now My tree of righteousness, you have not withered in the heat of the day, but have continued to bear fruit.  Many have come to My tree under the guise of eating from My tree, yet their purpose has been to do harm, to bring damage to My tree.  I will not allow or let them hurt one branch of the productive and fruitful tree.  I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field.  I will keep My tree protected by the angel of war, sent to protect My servants that have conformed to My purpose and plans.  You will be called "the beautiful one" instead of being despised and rejected by those who are hungry, they will love the fruit you have from My own hands.  I will empower those who yield to Me with more and greater grace to meet every tendency, known and unknown by man.  I Am able and I will preserve and keep My faithful and yielded one and your fruit will remain.
     "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." (Is. 61:3)
     "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit." (Jer. 17:7-8)
     "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit." (John 15:2)

Good morning,
     Dual purposes will be performed at this time.  Great good for all who have stood and believed Me and great evil will be harvested for all who have walked contrary to My Word and My promises.
     It will be much more than what you believe or what you have even perceived, for I have called you children of the Most High God.  My plans and purposes are, "most high".  Know that there are things that this world has never been able to allow you to see and that is why I call you up higher.  Through dreams, visions, translations during worship, as you meditate upon My Word, openings and access to the Kingdom.  So that you can take a look and gaze into the heavenlies and understand what you were made to be like.  So that you can function and operate from that place and position in this realm, in the earth realm.  My purpose is so that you can affect this earth realm more powerfully than you ever could trying to rely on your natural ability.  So, I say yield and surrender, stop trying to figure Me out.  I Am much higher than your thought life, I Am much greater than you could ever perceive.  Now yield your members and trust Me for I am well able to take you there and to bring you back with soundness and not only soundness but greater and more whole than you were before you began to climb up higher.  But if you would begin to ascend the heavenly places, and the realms that I have opened up for you to ascend and envision and then walk in that, live in that, orchestrate your life from that place, says the Lord.  As you do things will begin to change, you will shake up your atmosphere, you will change your environment if you will begin to operate from the heavenly sphere.  If you’ll begin to do as I say to do then you will begin to walk in the kingdom authority and power that truly is yours.  You will see, says the Lord, great and mighty things will begin to happen.  Signs and wonders?  They only follow the believer, the ones who believe and they should be natural to you.  This is not something out of the ordinary for you, it should be an ordinary thing for you to live in, for you to orchestrate and conduct your life from that place of signs and wonders and supernatural demonstrations of My precious spirit.  So I say to you this day, avail yourself to Me, yield more, for I am great and I Am mighty and I desire to be great and mighty in you.  There is more, and for those who are hungry and thirsty, I Am about to reveal Myself to them on another level, another place that you have never seen or known before and it takes a surrendered heart.  No more room for stubborn, hardhearted, and stiff-necked hearts.  And if you would surrender and if will begin to believe Me, I will do those things that you have been crying out and asking for.  I am a loving Father,  and it is My desire for your to come up higher, it is My desire for you to walk in signs and wonders, it is My desire for you to have a revival at all times, in all places in your heart, in your life, in every place that your feet touch.  This is My desire says the Lord.  So now you are finally lining up with Me, desperate for  all of Me.  I say, yes, and I say amen, it is My pleasure to do so.  Watch and see the miracles, the signs, wonders, and the demonstrations of My Holy Spirit that will happen to those who are surrendered!
     "I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work." (Eccles. 3:17)
     "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:" (Ephes. 1:3)
     "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." (Mark 16:20)

     A sustained and a longer duration of worship will cause an open heaven to remain in your life.  You will see and understand, the more that you worship Me, the intensity and the longevity will begin to burn within you and you will never let go of Me.  And since you have been investing your whole self in Me, you will not let go of your walk with Me while others will.  There are many that will run along side of you but they are not holding tight.  Yet I see the passion, the desire, the hunger for Me that you have, and so I will fill you to overflow, until you are so filled up that you begin to disappear and as you do you will see more of Me.  You will hear Me distinctly, and then you will begin to imitate Me, that is when signs and wonders will follow you.  Because you see, you will no longer be the one in the forefront but it will be Me.  You will truly humble yourself before Me.  You will see Me do things and you will hear Me say things, you will simply pattern yourself after Me.  This will be easier for you now, since this kind of dependency comes from these moments of worship where you just are wasted in Me.   A place and time when you give everything you have and as you are lying there in My presence and all has been invested in Me that is when I speak and that is when you are able to hear and you become driven to obey and do.  You will no longer question, you will no longer doubt.  It will come through these moments that you invest your praise and worship to Me.  As you give all, then I will make Myself known to you like never before. 
     Do not worry about being like everybody else, because everyone else is not on that same road with you and everybody else may not make it.  But if you would invest your whole life to Me, there is a guarantee and a seal upon you.  You will, says the Lord, see my face and we will live forevermore and I will place my glory upon you and many will see and understand that you live in the presence of your Father, and it will cause some to envy and to be jealous, and it will cause others to want and desire more.  So do not be afraid, just come and empty yourself in My presence, so that I can fill you with more of Me, so that we become one.  This is the glory that We have been trying so desperately to get to My people, where there is no more them but only Me seen.

     "Now therefore if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, than you shall be a peculiar treasure to me above all people: for all the earth is mine." (Exodus 19:5)

Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
 
This is a personal word that was given to me and I felt that it should be shared with all.
 
 
     I am calling forth My sleeping beauty to rise from her slumber and from her inactivity and prepare herself for her soon coming King.  There has been an onslaught of snares, traps, and deceptions sent and devised by the enemy to arrest your attention and keep you from moving forth in all that I anointed you to do.  You were saved and set aside to show the world Me, through your surrendered and obedient life.  Shake from yourself the wrappings of death and dress yourself once again with the well designed wedding garment that I set aside for you to operate in and move with Me.  Do so now, for you must move as if the day is almost gone.  There is no more time for ill-feelings, self-absorptions, petty offenses, small thinking, and worldly-longings.  It is time to rise from the grave of despair, discouragement, and despondency.  You, My bride must have no more dealings with the cares of this world, the lust of other things, and the deceitfulness of riches, these things open wide the door to the enemy and he uses them to steal what I have planted in you and devastate My gardens.  Yet, in the midst of many of My intended brides losing hope and trading their costly apparel for the ill-fitted rags of this world, you have remained stalwart and strong, even though you have sometimes felt faint, you did not quit, you did not give up.  You have continuously washed your garment and purged yourself by My word.  Keeping yourself from the stains of this world.  No longer will you be hampered or stumble because of old grave clothes tying you up.  No, you will run free toward the goal!  I Am removing all that have caused you pain, hurt, and turmoil.
     Now, I Am here to honor you by taking my beloved one to the highest place on the mountain of her God and lover of her soul.  Where I will refresh you and strengthen you for the rest of the race.  You will run with a fresh new wind, you have waited for the new wind.  You will be able to breathe deeply and differently now, making quantum leaps in Kingdom affairs I Am blowing it fresh now so that you might finish with a blaze of My glory!  Come forth!  Hear Me as I say to you, wake up, I Am touching you afresh and anew.  
     "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 2:13-14).
     "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober." (1 Thess. 5:5-6)
     "O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." (S.O.S.2:14-15)
  
Love,
