Good Morning,
     I Am a good, good Father, and I will take care of you and see to all your ways.  I will show you by My tokens of affections in many various ways.  You have been misused, abused, and rejected by those around, but I have for you a crown of glory.  It will rest upon all that you do.  It will be like a raised diadem that others will see and know that you are favored by Me.  It is because you have continued to forgive and let others go that have offended you time and time again.  You thought I didn't see, but I have seen your labor of love and My rewards are extravagant and I Am ready to lavish them upon the obedient ones.  You have been faithful to do My Word whether it was favorable or unfavorable, when you felt like it and when you were hurting to do it, you did it out of simple obedience.  I saw that and I Am pleased with you, your worship of Me has come up as a sweet sacrifice.  You pushed and sometimes in the face of being hurt and wounded by others you kept walking in My high love.  You thought that I didn't smell the fragrance of love that you sent, but I have been enamored by your acts of obedience.  I have kept in store for you some special gifts!  You have let the fires of living for Me, purge you and remove from your heart those callouses that use to keep you standing still instead of moving towards Me.
     I Am dripping My sweet honey in your life, especially in areas that have been ravaged by the locusts, caterpillars, and every swarming thing that tried to confuse your way.  Those things that tried to get you to choose another way, but you remained faithful to Me and My Word.  Men and situations have tried to embitter you, but you became sweeter and stronger, more determined to hear and obey.  I have said in My Word that a faithful man abounds in blessings, and so you shall!  My Word will be performed in the lives of all who are counted faithful.  It is never too late to make it right with Me, never too late to get back on the right path, never too late to become My beloved.  All it takes is a yielded and willingness to obey.  I will come alongside you and help you to succeed.  Choose obedience and experience Me, your Father, like you never have before.  With the pure and the upright I will show My pure great rewards.
     "Show me a sign of [Your evident] goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, [will show Your approval of me when You] help and comfort me." (Ps. 86:17) 
     "A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich [at any cost] shall not go unpunished." (Prov. 28:20)
     "And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten—the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you." (Joel 2:25)

Good morning,
     We have been sharing the prophetic words that we have been receiving in our worship services at our church.  I pray that you are fighting the good fight of faith with the whole counsel of God's Word as you also place the prophetic word in your arsenal.
 
     There is a fire!  There is a fire burning deep on the inside of your soul and the enemy has tried to blow it out to keep it from burning.  But today, I open up and fan the flames and you can sense it and feel it in your heart and even in the depth of your being, in your belly!  Let the fire begin to burn bright again and when it does, says the Lord, even as you sing your song, with desire to be more like Me.  I offer my hand to pull you up to that level and I bring you up to that place through My word, where you are exactly like Me.  Where you see things like I see them, you sense things like I sense them and you walk according to my Word.  And that ability is already abiding on the inside of you, there is a God-man on the inside of you, that has always desired to become more like Me every moment and the more the enemy tries to press you against the wall, that God-man on the inside cries out to be more like Me.  I say to you this morning as you step over the boundaries of fear, doubt, worry,  and unbelief,  that all those things that have kept you and hindered you from flowing with Me, will face a supernatural anointing that will block their abilities.  And you will mark it because you will sense the difference in you.  Nobody else will have to come along and say that they see the difference, you will know it and the knowing is what needs to take place in your heart, to know and walk with Me in full assurance that you are becoming more like Me daily.  So put off the old man and everything that hinders you and soar to the new heights with Me, for there are things that I want to show you, things I must reveal to you before I come and you must be emptied of this world and the things of this world.  Emptied of the the cloudiness in order to see the things in the spirit realm that I am revealing to those who have chosen to step up higher, to come up higher and if that’s you, open up your mind and your heart and receive says the Lord.  For I am emptying the treasure chest of heaven into your heart and your mind, things that are too hard for you to comprehend with your natural mind but, you are people of the Spirit, the Spirit knows and reveals all things to those who walk in the Spirit.  So I have given you the ability to see and know by the spirit what I the Lord your God am doing in your midst and especially on the inside of you!
     "I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." (Gal. 5:16-17)
     "But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).  For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you." (John 16:13-14)

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

     The heavens are open right over My people and My countenance is so very glad! I Am so glad because I see the heart of My children, the people of God, those who desire to become like Me.  I know the desire deep down on the inside and the war that rages within to try to be like Me and I have come along side of you. I want you to know this  day, that you are not abandoned, you are not shipwrecked, you are not hopeless.  In fact I come along beside you and it is because of  Me that you stand this morning.  It is because I Am holding you up that you live and you move and you have your being.  It is because of Me that you have the strength that you have this day.  It is not because of your own ingenuity, your own ability, your own insight, none of that, says the Lord.  Those things are dung in my presence.  It is because you recognize that without Me it would be a case of hopelessness therefore you depend on the great hope!  Because you depend upon Me, your great hope, I have come along beside you as the anchor of hope and I have anchored you to make you steadfast and sure and it is the reason that you have not failed, it is the reason that you have not backsliden.  It is this hope, it is the reason that you stand today.  It is because by faith you have leaned upon Me, as weak as some of your faith has been, it has been sufficient enough to keep me coming and holding you up, says the Lord.  I will not fail you, I will not abandon you.  It does not matter what it looks like because in the
end I will have the glory and I will turn everything that’s been done in your life for evil, I will multiply it back to you for good.  For I Am  God, and I Am always ready to good to all my children who want Me and seek My face and those who desire Me.  I have a great plan for your life and understand that everything that I have for you is good, it’s good, says the Lord and I Am bringing it to pass for your today.  I have been working on it before you even knew me, because I knew you and I knew you would come to live Me, says the Lord.  I was working on the plan for good for your life.  So I will not fail you, don’t you give up on Me, don’t you quit on Me and you will see says the Lord, I will bring you to that fulfillment, to the great promise, says the Lord.  For I am that promise and I Am working it out on the inside of you, for good.
     "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.   For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.  And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified

Good morning,

 

     It's all right with Me.  Anything that you do to glorify Me, it’s all right with Me.  You can hum, you can hymn, dance or jump, anyway you can give Me glory and praise is alright with Me.  Just magnify My name in any and all ways that My Word and My Spirit makes known to you.  For I deserve to be glorified and magnified in your life.  I deserve to receive all the glory and honor and the praise in spite of everything that the enemy has lied about in your life.  For I will be magnified and glorified no matter what, as long as you say that I’m good in your life, I will remain good
in your life.  But if you allow the enemy to cause you to
say anything other than that, I Am good to you, you’ll see all the bad
and everything else will be hidden.  But if you set your mind on things above, you’ll see all the good that I have in store.  And
all the meanwhile no matter what is going on in your life, keep your
words in line with Mines, saying and knowing that I Am good all the
time.  I Am good all the while, even when things look dark, I Am still
light.  I Am working all things out to your advantage and
your good, for I Am faithful in everything that I do, in everything I
touch says the Lord.  I will perfect the plan I have for
you, so even in your life when you think that you’re in the midst of a
mess know that I Am magnifying and glorifying Myself.  I Am bringing to
myself through and by you, as you
live a holy dedicated life, glory and the praise!  I Am  releasing
a turnaround in your life in the end, says the Lord.  I will get all the glory, I’ll get all the praise and you will know yourself that you did not do it at all and all of the glory will go to Me.  For
I am God and there is no one like Me, I stand alone and I Am too be
magnified and I Am too be glorified in your life.  And if you let me I
will give glory to you as well.  For I am worthy to be
magnified and glorified in your every day living, and in your every day
circumstances, no matter what is going on.  For in the end
if you will let Me, we will do great and miraculous wonders in  the days
ahead.  It will be because you are now coming  to the high place of
recognizing how truly powerful I Am through you.  I will get all the
glory and all
the praise and I will be magnified which means that I Am bigger than
whatever you might ever face, which means I will grow bigger and
stronger in your life, as you stay focused on Me and keep saying what I
say and dethroned your own feelings.  And in the end, says the Lord, My promises to you will be fulfilled.

     "Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.  Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming." (1 Peter 1:13)

Good morning,
 
     The
supernatural upon the natural.  I Am about to do great things
and at the same time the war of the flesh and the spirit is about to
begin increasing even more.  You will see, says the Lord, the more that
the spirit increase the more the flesh and the war increases.  And you
will see, says the spirit of grace and mercy, that the more that My Word
increases in you, the more the world increases also. You will see
devastation on one side and great prosperity on the other side and you
will see also in the kingdom, great and supernatural wonders being
wrought and devastation in the kingdom on the other side.  For those who
will seek My face will walk in a new place, they will walk in a higher
realm and a high level of glory.  Every where My anointed ones go, many
shall come and know me and great and mighty works and wonders and
demonstrations of My Holy Spirit shall be seen and known.  And at the
same time many shall fall away because they have waited and waited and
waited and they have grown weary and they have desired to see things
that they will never see for their eyes have not yet been prepared nor
ready for the things that I’m about to reveal in the people of My
Kingdom says the Lord.  But great and mighty things shall occur in My
household says the King.  All the things that I have promised shall
begin to suddenly come to pass.  All of you who have been waiting and
waiting and counting the hours and looking and hoping and believing, I
shall begin to shower down upon you, showers of blessings like you have
never known before and you will walk under that flow, says the Lord. 
And all the glory and the honor you shall give back to Me, and I will
then in My mercy begin to give you more glory, more mercy and more grace
upon your life, so that you might do the awesome deeds that I have
called you to do and not be hindered by those around about you who will
not
come.  For the river shall increase and the glory shall increase and
the power shall increase until I come for My own says the Lord.  And you
will know Me, and you will be waiting for Me, and you will be ready for
Me says the Lord.  For this is the time that you have set aside to seek
My face like never before and I will come and take you says the Lord.  And I will come and receive My bride says the Lord.  And you will be
ready and you will be waiting.  And all the glory and honor we shall
share together, says the Lord.  You have been longing for Me to come and
I Am saying I Am coming with great power and might and dominion.  But I
shall be first revealed through My own, and the world will know that I
am in their midst for I will do awesome deeds says the spirit of grace
and mercy.  So prepare yourself, stay ready for Me, keep your heart
humble and hungry for more and more and more of me says the Lord.
Hallelujah!

because of your human limitations.  Just as you used to offer yourselves
as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness." (Rom.6:19).

then, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh [we are not

what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time

about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us!"

 Good morninig, 

 
    I hear the voice of the Spirit saying:
     In you I am well pleased.  He says again, in you I am well pleased.  If
you would rehearse this over and over in your heart and remember,
that time and time again I have won greater battles than these, with
lesser people than these, with
weaker people than these.  For it is My power, and My might and My ability and strength resting on the inside of you that I quicken by My Spirit.  Then
you are able to do great things, things that you thought impossible to
do, because you relied upon Me and not upon your own might, not upon your own strength, not upon anything that you possess.  But
when you lay yourself completely over on Me, trusting Me, then I will
see you through and I will walk you through the most difficult times and
I will carry you through when you think that you cannot make it another
step.  I will lift you up and see to your victory, says the Lord.  For I will not abandon you, I will not forsake you and I will not give you up to the enemy.  No, for he is My enemy, says the Lord.  So I will take you up on eagle’s wings and I will bring you to that promised
place.  I will not abandon you in the middle of the wilderness, but I will take you all the way to the promise.  So
no matter what you feel like, no matter what it looks like, stay
focused upon Me, for I Am faithful and I can be depended upon to bring
you all the way to the end.  Do not line your voice up with the enemy who is saying to you that you are not enough, that you can’t do enough.  You
are not enough, but I Am!  I Am well able says the Lord and I have made
everything sufficient for you and given to you everything necessary to
see to it that you finish, and with flair.  You will finish
with the grace and the victory and the promises that I have made unto
you and you will not come behind in any good thing.  But you will begin to soar and sail above the enemy for this is the season of great mercy and My great grace.  So,
I say abandon
all the lies of the enemy, abandon all the promises that he’s given
unto you, which are promises of death, promises that will not bring you
to the desired end.  For my promises are faithful and I
will bring you to the end, and when you cross the finish line, all of My
glory and honor will be on you.  I will turn around with a crown of
glory and honor and place it upon your head and you will know that I Am
well pleased in you.  So I say to you again, look to Me.  I Am the author and the finisher of your faith and I will never abandon that thing that I started in you.  No good work that I start is ever abandoned.  But I complete it and I finish it all the way to the end!
     "Looking unto
Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy
that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has
sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Looking unto Jesus, the
author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set
before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at
the right hand of the throne of God." (Heb. 12:2)

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord Says:

     It is your soul that I romance.  It is your soul that I Am after to change.  When we come together over My Word we become One, you become more like Me in our intimate relationship.  It is your soul that I Am after, for little by little I Am changing your soul.  The way you think, the way you feel, the way you operate, I Am changing it little by little.  It
is your soul that I Am after and that’s why I commanded you to renew
the way you think, to change your attitudes and your ideals about
things, because I am romancing your soul to make you more like me, by My
strong and intense Word.  Isn’t it a wonder that a man and a woman
becomes one after an intimate relationship and from that union a child is born, and that is oneness, says the Lord.  So
I Am changing you to become more and more like Me, impregnating you
with the seed of My Word, so that you become more and more like Me, so
that there is a change in you, so that the new birth, the new born is
more like Me, says the Lord.  That is My desire!

     I have always panted and longed for a people who have not held Me back from changing them from within.  For once I do the work within, outside is no problem, says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  I have been constantly and diligently maneuvering, working,
and engineering from the inside, to cause the changes to occur so that
you can look more and more like Me.  The new creature, the new creation, the new ideals, says the Lord, that is My plan from the
beginning and I have been steadily working at it.  Just like your enemy, who has been constantly and steadily working at pulling you away from Me.  I have been steadily and constantly working to draw you closer to Me.  Come on says, the Lord.  Come with Me and let Me take you to the place I desire you to see and know and be a part of.  Come says the Lord, do not hold back.  For
even now says the Lord there are changes on the inside of you that must
be done, so that you can be a vessel to distribute My glory and My
honor all over this world, bringing in the last harvest.  Causing people
to come that are hidden away in the recesses of this world and pulling
them by that same love that I Am drawing you with.  Come, says the Lord, let Me do that mighty work on the inside.  Come, says the Lord, hold not back any longer, but allow
Me.  I will not abandon you, I will not leave you forsaken, but I will take you up and make you more like Me, says the Lord.  That is My promise, that is My commitment and I Am faithful to do it says the Lord, I Am faithful to My Word.
     "Draw
me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers:
we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more
than wine: the upright love thee." (S.O.S. 1:4)

     "The
Lord appeared from of old to me [Israel], saying, Yes, I have loved you
with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn
you and continued My faithfulness to you." (Jer.31:3)

not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted
to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by
the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new
attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and
acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]." (Rom. 12:2)

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)

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)
