The Spirit of the Lord says:

     The Supernatural will overtake the natural; you will increase more this year then you ever thought possible you’re going to grow more this year then you ever thought possible.  All your years that you have been growing in the things of God this is going to be a supernatural year, it is going to be a year of revelation and insight, you’re going to hear Me, to know Me, to walk with Me because I said in My Word those who really love Me I will really reveal Myself to them I will make Myself known to them they’ll know Me they will know how I move, how I operate and they will follow because sheep follow the Shepherd and they’ll obey Me and hearken to My voice freely of any hindrances, no longer can the devil come into their minds into their thought life into their hearing and lie to them about their past their past is forgotten I have already cast it away I have been waiting for you to line up with Me and have no more regrets.

     Phil 3:13 "I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead."

     Romans 12:2; "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. [or soul, will, and emotions] Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

     John 10:27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Good morning,

     Our Father is faithful and He patiently instructs and directs us as we
grow and mature in Him.  He loves us and even His chastisement is done
because of His great love and His knowledge of the path that we are to
stay on.  It is His loving hands that keeps us on the narrow path that
leads to life eternal.  As
children, the tendency is to wander, and try to substitute our way for
His.  This is Father God speaking to us, letting us know that we must
stay humble.  Humble enough to do His Word.
 
     Seek
me specifically on this wise,concerning My promises to you, and I will
give you answers that will overwhelm even the generation that
you’re in.  And they will know that you have visited with Me.  For it will not be man’s ideas or man’s concepts and it will not be man’s ways, but it will be My way.  And it will be about bringing in people who will grow into maturity in My house.  They will not want to stay babies long, they will hunger and thirst after righteousness and be filled.  For
they will see a difference in my house here, they will understand that
I’m after my children to grow up and not to stay babies any longer.  And there will become mature in My house like has never been known or seen before in any church.  For there will be a change for all those who have been in My house and those full of pride will humble themselves.  Their humility will initiate a rapid thirst for growth.  And those
who have stayed off in the background will begin to understand that I Am calling them to purity and holiness and righteousness.  That I have been preparing them for this time and season of intense and rapid growth of My people.  And
this is the
day, says the Lord, that I will no longer tolerate the foolishness in
my church of childish behavior, fighting, envy, bitterness and unforgiveness.  I
Am putting an end to it and I Am causing My people to grow up and
become mature so they can lead others to My kingdom and encourage them
to grow.  Long enough that my children have acted like babies and caused many people to stumble. It’s time for My people to grow up.  And
I Am seeing to it says the Lord, for I will put a fresh anointing on
those who desire, and I will see to it that you grow up fast and then
you’ll cause others to grow up supernaturally, says the Spirit of grace
and mercy.  This is the season!
     So then, we may
no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance
gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of
unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of
trickery in inventing errors to mislead.  Rather, let our lives lovingly
express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living
truly].  Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
 (Eph. 4:14-15)
     Let
me warn you therefore, beloved, that knowing these things beforehand,
you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of
lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condition [your own steadfastness of
mind].  But grow in grace
(undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and
recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah).  To Him [be] glory (honor,
majesty, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity.  Amen (so be
it)! (2 Peter 3:17-18)
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     Our Father has made a way for us to succeed in every area of our lives.  All that it takes is a yielded will and a "prompt to do His Word"
attitude.  There is a leaning on Him and His wisdom that we must do in
order to fulfill His will.  When we really believe that God has our best
interest in His heart then no matter what
we are told to do in His Word, we will buckle down and do it.  We can
stop being pushed around by life circumstances and situations, and
allowing that to determine what we receive from
life, and do the Word which changes the course of our lives and enables
us to walk in the "good God plan" that He has for us.  Just like an
excellent Daddy, He keeps encouraging us to obey Him, so that we could
reap
the blessings and benefits that belong to the yielded ones!
   All I need is your "yes", for then I will take up the torch and run along side with you.  I
will see to it that every time you stay ignited and on fire, to keep
you burning strong and long.  It’s my desire for you to start and finish
the same way, on fire for me.  Keeping your eyes looking
right on, not to the left, not to the right, not at the circumstances
and situations going on around about you though the enemy has provided
plenty.  Plenty of circumstances to
keep you distracted, to keep you worried, to keep you discouraged, to
keep you looking at those circumstances and not looking at my Word.  I have
made promises to you and to everyone who would say "yes" to my Word, I will fulfill them for you.  I will do it says the Lord, I am faithful and you can count on Me to be faithful in your life.  And watch and see says the Lord, once you say to yourself, yes, once you make up in your heart and mind, yes, then you will walk in the glory realm.  We
will finish this race with glory and victory and all the victory and
glory that you receive, I will turn around and crown you with My glory
and victory.  I will turn it around and multiply it and give it to you
says the Lord.  I will crown you with glory, I will crown
you with all my goodness, I will crown you with might and dominion, I
will crown you says the Lord.  If you say yes to me, it is affirmative that you will always win, says the Spirit of God.
     "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:" (Is.1:19)
      "And
being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also
hath highly 

exalted him and given him a name which is above every name:" (Phil.2:8-9)

     "And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away." (1 Peter 5:4)

Good morning,
     What you are doing now counts towards eternity!  As you worship Me now, that counts for your eternity.  As you lift your hands up and adore Me as you bow before Me it counts towards your eternity.  It is what you are doing now for the Kingdom that sows for your eternity.  The Kingdom has come now and it is what you’re doing now that counts for eternity.  You are laying your treasure where your heart is now!  So if you’re lifting your hands now, you will always lift your hands.  If you’re singing with glory, honor, and reverence to Me now, you will always sing with glory, honor, and reverence to Me says the Lord.  It is what you are doing now that counts.  As you walk and you live your life godly before Me now says the Lord, it counts towards your eternity.  I will keep you!  And
I say unto you, if you would bow your head in reverence and know that I
Am a faithful God, a dependable God, a trustworthy God and that every
promise I have made to you is, a yes and amen.  I will not go back on My Word, not one bit of it, says the Spirit of Grace.  But I will fulfill every promise that I have given you, for it is an "even so".  Which means I have sealed it, says the Lord.  All I Am waiting for is for you to line up with My yes and My amen and then we can get this thing done says the
Lord.
     For greater things are about to happen in this world, says the Lord, more than you have ever seen or heard.  But
I protect my own, yet understand this, this does not mean that you will
not go through anything, but that you will come through everything says
the Lord, if you put your trust in me, says God.  You will not be taken
down, but you will be taken over.  As you watch, you’ll stand amazed at how you’re protected as you abide underneath the shadow of the Almighty.  Even as the things begin to flow from the north, the south, the east and the west, you will be protected underneath My wings.  For that is where you must be found, underneath my wings, saith the Lord.  Go now, to the place of hiding.  Go
now to the place of safety
and dwell there and live there and begin to learn how to make your
abode on the inside of Me.  Staying where your protection is, and then no
matter what comes, you will be provided for, says the Lord.  You will be protected says the Lord. You will have divine assistance.  For
even though the winds and storms may rise, it is not against My own, it
is against those who have looked to other gods, who have looked to
other ways, who have depended upon the ways of this world and the
system.  But the system will come down around all those who have placed their trust in those things.  But
those who trust in the most high God, they will be sustained they will
be preserved, and they will be uplifted, says the Lord.  I will keep My Word!

     "Fear not [there is nothing to
fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice." (Is. 41:10)

     "How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings." (Ps. 36:7)

Good morning,

     As we get closer to the time of our Lord's
return, we will see and do more signs and wonders.  The portals of
heaven's glory will overwhelm those who have been calling upon the Lord
to make Himself  known more powerfully than ever before.  We all have
been in a time of preparation for
far more than we have done for the Kingdom, but it is collectively.  The
intensity of our training has been turned up, so that we may bring
forth the best fruit!  As the curtains are pulled back, many that have
desired to be all
that God has said that we are, will begin to walk in a higher and
stronger anointing.  These are exciting times for us family, yet we must
stay close to the Word of God.
     Deception is at an all time high alert.  Saints are abandoning their
first call for some other things that seems more profitable.  They have
listened to the lies of the wicked one, telling them that they must be
and do something more than what I have called them to.  They have opened
the door to the voice of confusion.  Be cautious that you have not
entertained the one who sows discord among the brethren.  Do not be the one found sowing discord for it is one thing that I hate.  Instead of listening to the deceit and lies of the enemy and his
minions, take heed to
Me and My order.  I
have given you all gifts for the maturing
of My body.  I call and set one up and bring down another.  You must
yield to all that I have done to keep My Kingdom on a sure foundation.  I
have laid the stones and erected My House.
     Arise from the oneness that you have established in the flesh, shake off all flesh-made unions.  Do not allow envyings,
strife, jealousy, and confusion enter in your heart and mind.  Reject
that spirit from whatever avenue, person, or situation, that it tries to
breed in, it will bring you to
shame.  But if you would follow Me with your whole heart, you will be
invigorated knowing that you are about the business of the Kingdom.
  Stay
focused on My purposes and yours
will be fulfilled as well.  Heaven will kiss earth sooner than you have
ever thought.  I have designed each member of My body to perform and
function to the highest capacity when they are in their
proper place.  That is when My body experiences wholeness.  My grace is
given to you to perform fully the office, the call, the ministry,
the gifts, and the lands that I place you in to manifest My glory.  All
is done for the Kingdom, in order to bring glory to your Father.  Those
who humble themselves
before Me will receive My exaltation.  It is by maintaining the unity
and oneness in My Spirit that you must live and do My business in.  I Am
faithful and therefore you must remain faithful to your call and
position, where you will know and experience the greatest anointing
ever!  
      "For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,  so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.  We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us…" (Rom.12:4-6a)

     "But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him." (1 Corin. 12:18)

     "A wicked messenger falls into evil, but a faithful ambassador brings healing." (Pro. 13:17)

     "These
six things the Lord hates, indeed, seven are an abomination to Him: A
proud look [the spirit that makes one overestimate himself and
underestimate others], a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent
blood.  A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans, feet that are swift in running to evil.  A false witness who breathes out lies
[even under oath], and he who sows
discord among his brethren." (Pro. 6:16-19)

Good morning,
     This is one of the prophetic words that was given to our church, Hesed
Ministries on Sunday.  As usual, meditate, pause and calmly think on it.  God is always speaking to us from His Word, in order to give us better
understanding.  Here we understand that God is sovereign, but He never
makes us do His Word or choose His
way, we always have a free will.  It is always up to us to choose.
     The Spirit says;
     Many have questioned My faithfulness.  Many have doubted My ability and My faithfulness to them.  The
question always comes to Me, "why"?  And I would say to you today, the why is because I have given each individual a free will, a free choice.  And
because that enters in to the plan and the destiny that I have for your
life it sometimes alters, obstructs and causes another way and I have
to filter
that way into My way and cause it to mold and mesh into the narrow way
that I have planned for you.  Your destiny, the promises that I have given to you.  And
if you would just learn to hold onto My trustworthiness, and
believe that I Am faithful and that I would keep the way that I have
promised to you.  And it does not matter what you see or what comes against you understand that I Am working out a plan for your good.  I Am faithful always to the end.  And if you would only put your hand in my hand and lean over on My everlasting arms you will come out ahead every time.  You will see that My plan is always a good plan, it is a great plan, it is the best plan.  And if you will allow Me, if you will let Me, it will be in your life, the only plan.  And you will see, says the Lord, in the end, you will get the glory as I receive the glory from
you.  Which means that you will be the stronger and the wiser for it! 
     So turn around that thought and that question and begin to offer up thanksgiving and praise to me instead.  For I Am even working that out says the Lord.  I Am working out the most twisted and difficult things.  For
I can even work out every thing, every crooked place, every thing that
you have screwed up and twisted up, yes everything that you have messed
up, I will turn around for your good.  You watch and see, says the Lord, for I am faithful to My Word to work it out for your good.  It will be for your good and you will give me all glory, all praise, and all honor.  So join with Me, do not work against Me any longer, and you will see that it will
happen suddenly
says the Lord.  Your suddenly will come and you will not
be the reason for altering it any longer, you will have lined up with
Me, says the Spirit of grace and mercy.
     "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.  Now choose life, so that you and your children may live." (Deut. 30:19) 
     "And
I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in
paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them,
and crooked
things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake
them." (Is. 42:16)
     "Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;" (Deut. 7:9)

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says:

Quite often my people think that I show favoritism, but I'm
not a God who shows favoritism. 
What happens is that my people must learn to obey, simply obey.  For those who simply obey me, they reap
the benefits and the favor that’s heaped upon them.  But for those who choose to go their own way, they stay on
the outside of the blessings, on the outside of the benefits, on the outside of
my favor.  So for those who choose
to say, “yes Lord, I hear you, I’ll do that.  I’ll do that God because I have no face to save.  I’ll do that God because I have no
reputation to redeem.  I’ll do that
Lord God because you have  told me so.” 
And just by the authority and on the authority of my word, when you hearken
and when you obey, that’s when signs and wonders follow you.  That’s when signs and wonders are
demonstrated in your life because of that one act of simple obedience.  So I say to you, everything is for
you.  Everything I’ve given you, it’s
for you.  But I’m looking just for one person to obey.  And when I find that person I heap my blessings upon that
obedient soul.  For I said in my
word, the faithful man abounds with favor and blessings.  So it’s not because I favored anyone,
it is because that one has chosen to be obedient.  So I say to you tonight if you just switch, switch off that
stubborn streak because it’s innate in man to do their own thing, to go their
own way.  But as my children, I’m
asking you, for your own benefit, your own blessing.  Switch off that disobedient, hard streak on the inside
that causes you to go the opposite direction of where I’m calling everyone else
to go and when you do that, you’ll find yourself walking in deliverance like
you would have never have dreamed. 
Out of one act of simple obedience.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning, 
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     You must begin to say greater, greater, greater!  If you would begin to say it until you believe it, until you know it.  For I Am greater than any circumstance and any situation in your life.  Do you not understand that the enemy comes to try to get you to have a
setback?  But I allow the setback so that you can have a setup, in order to have a come back says the Lord.  So whatever the enemy is throwing at you now, do not believe for one moment that he has the upper hand.  For
I Am God and I have allowed those things to turn you around, to cause
you to stand up solid and strong, to know that I am greater than any
circumstance, any situation.  And right when you think that
I have no might and I have no strength that is when the Greater One can
rise up big on the inside of you.  That is when the Greater One can be seen, resident, living, powerful, most mighty on the inside of you.  For
when you are weak, then I Am made strong.  You will triumph over every
intended evil and break the power of the wicked one over you once
again.  I Am depending on you to give up on trusting in all your
strength, upon
all your understanding, and all your wisdom, and relax and rest in Me
and see says the Lord.  That I will bring about a
supernatural change in you where you will never depend upon the strength
of your hand, the might of your wisdom or the abilities that you have,
but you will rely totally and completely upon the God Who is greater
than any circumstance, any situation, anything that the devil could
throw at you.  I have already made a way of escape for you.  I AM GREATER!
     "Ye
are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is
he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
     "But
no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue
that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the
wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is
the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal
Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or
the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart
to them as their justification], says the Lord." (Is. 54:17)

Good morning,
     When
a shift takes place, there are many who have not yet qualified to
shift.  They have not built up their faith to take the next level,
they missed every opportunity to grow.  It is not because
 I
desire for them to be left out, it is because they have refused to come
up by doing My Word at every level.  I have repeated Myself over and
again by saying to My children that a shift is taking place, the shift
is
about to occur, the transition is necessary!  I forewarn My people long
before the change or shift takes place, in order that my children might
prepare themselves, to be ready to walk boldly into the next level.  Just
as you now see the world shifting and changes taking place in
government, nations, laws, many will be left behind in their
transitions.  Some are qualified to go to the next level, well educated,
well trained and skill as far as the job requires, but they have not
been wise, with their time or their behavior.  Even so, as the shift
takes place in the Kingdom many who are qualified because they read My
Word, go to fellowship, and even praise Me with their heart, yet will
not make the transition, because they have not obeyed My Word by doing
it.  So, I remind you once again, that it is not the forgetful hearer
that will be blessed, but the doer of the Word.  It is not about being
entertained by the Words that you hear, it is not about a tradition
being formed by hearing, but it is about coming up to the level of being a doer of My Word.
     So, you must step forth, you must step up a level in keeping
the Word that you know.  You know to love, then do it!  If you know to
speak truth, do not lie, then do it!  If it is revealed to you through My
Word to forgive, yet you keep holding aughts towards another, stop, and step up and do My Word.  To him who knows to do good and does not do it, it is sin.  St
ep up the level, and you will transition smoothly, and you
will begin to mature in all things that I have called you too.  You will see yourself coming up higher and higher in
wisdom and knowledge.  Your understanding will flow and you will find yourself stretching out to do more
in the Kingdom.  For transition is taking place, I say do not lag
behind, keep up with Me says the Lord.  This is for your growing and for
your good.  You can do My Word, I have placed in you an ability to do it.  This ability in you, the enemy has tried to lull asleep.  Every natural
ability that I have placed in you is a small reflection of the higher
glory that I have called you to do the work of the Kingdom.  You can do
exactly what I have called you to do, and the more you do My Word, it
will be as natural to you as walking, for My Spirit is in
you to help and aid you.  I have given to you all that is possible and
needed
for you to be like Me.  In order that you might do the impossible, and
surmount every obstacle that the enemy places before you.  There is
nothing that you cannot do.  So arise to the occasion and season, and
begin to say, "I am a doer of the Word."  Walk it out daily and you are
prepared for the next level of transition.  You will find out that there
is more in you than you have ever thought or known.
 
     "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 deed." (James 1:25)
     "And
I will ask the Father, and
He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor,
Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you
forever." (John 14:16)
     "But
the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener,
Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My
place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all
things.  And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to
your remembrance) everything I have told you." (John 14:26)

Good morning,
     From your heart bring forth praise and thanksgiving,let it be sincere and pure says the Lord.  Then watch and see the miracles.  There
will not only be a song, rising up that has a special melody with it,
but all of a sudden reality will come on the inside of you, and you will
see the miracle happening even before it takes place in the natural.  For I am doing supernatural things these days.  Whatever you expect you are going to see in your life.  If you expect disaster that is what you will get more of, but, if you will expect a miracle, watch and see says the Lord.  I Am going
to do over and above your expectation.  For yes, I Am phenomenal, I Am an awesome God and everything you say I Am, I Am much more than that, says the Lord.  For nothing is too difficult or hard for me.  I will straighten out crooked things, I can cause eyes to see, I can cause legs to walk.  I Am a healing God, a delivering God and a redeeming God.  I can take that which was crooked and make it straight, I can cause limbs to come where there is none, says the Lord.  For I Am the Almighty God and there is nothing to hard for me.  I Am the Great Physician, the healing God. 
     Your case, your situation is not too difficult it is just a whisper away, says the Lord.  A
whisper of thanksgiving and praise will bring Me, the healing
One, right on the scene.  As you confess My Word over your circumstances
and situations and do not give into your feelings or those things in
your mind that war against My word, but expect says the Lord!  Expect, says the Lord!  Expect a miracle and you will see it says the Lord.  For I will not fail, nor let you down.  I Am faithful all the way to the end.  And I will do exceedingly, abundantly above everything that you ever asked for or dreamed says the Lord.  This is your God, hallelujah!  I
Am not like man, it is not based upon your circumstances, your
situation, nor your name or your claim to fame, or who you are in this
land.  But it is based upon My promises.  I will do it for you, if you would just believe Me says the Lord.  I Am, after all the God Who makes
the impossible, possible.  And I will do the impossible
for you and you will see and know that I will do everything that I
promised you.  You will begin to understand that I Am trustworthy and
that there is none like Me.  You can depend upon Me, I will not let you down, I will not let you fail, but I will cause you to be an overcomer and prosper in everything, spiritually, physically, and in your soul.
     "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth," (3 John 1:2)
     "For
the Lord will comfort Zion; He will
comfort all her waste places.  And He will make her wilderness like
Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord.  Joy and gladness will
be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song or instrument of praise." (Is. 51:3)
     "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." (Mtt. 19:26)
