Good morning,
     This is a Word that I have heard spoken to me at least twice in
the past two weeks, so I thought that it would be as encouraging to you
as it has been to Me.  I know that we have all been tested, but remember
we shall come forth as gold.  Our Father is not an absentee father,
neither does He stand idly by while we go through.  He never leaves us
alone!
     You are My treasure, I take
delight in you.  You have to know the great passion that I have for you
as I have taken you as My own.  Before you were even formed I knew you
and loved you.  Before you lived one day on this earth I made plans for
you to be eternally Mine.  There is nothing and no one that will stop
that from happening.  You are the only one that could ever prevent it,
but if you say yes and continue to yield to me, I will see to it.  It
does not matter what may come against Us, it will be as I have spoken.  Now, understand that all impurities must come out, and the pressure is
allowed to rub away all that have tried to stop My plan from coming to
pass.  Do not fear, there is not one thing allowed, or even those schemes
of the wicked one that has come, that will destroy you.  On the other
side you have not seen how strong and beautiful you will be.  The weaknesses will be made your strengths, the impossible will be made
into the miraculous.  I have not forgotten you, neither will I forsake
you.  I have and will always keep you imprinted on My hand and you are
the apple of my eye.  You always have My attention.
     Even when you failed, you cried out to
Me, I heard you, I Am your answer.  When the circumstances of life
overwhelmed you, you lifted up your voice to Me and I saw your trust in
Me.  Your reliance on Me brings Me joy.  Listen My beloved one, everything
is momentary and it is all a vapor.  I know that right now it seems that
it is too much for you, but remember and rely on this truth, I Am more
than enough!  My dear one, I knew the way that you would take before you
chose, I have sent you help from My heart of love.  With great
compassion and kindness I keep drawing you closer.  I Am not angry with
you, I love you.  I Am your help, your source of strength and peace.  This
is the time that you need a refuge, a hiding place, a place to recover
and take confidence in the aid and assistance that I Am for you.  What
kind of Father would I be, if when you needed Me most, I abandoned you.  I
would not be any kind of
father at all if My child asked Me for bread and I gave them a stone.  When you cry to Me for help, take courage I will stand up and command
all that is Mine to render you help!  All is mine and I can turn every
course of this world to your aid.  You will never lose My love for you
and as long as you turn to Me with a sincere heart, I Am your Rescue.  Know that, believe that, take confidence in that.  You will never be
alone in this walk.  I know that this love is beyond your understanding.  I
love those who don't love me.  So, for you My sweet love, those that have
turned to Me and love Me with the same love that I have given, My Words
for you are immeasureable, unlimited, unsurpassing.  You have My gaze,
you are lovely to Me, My love.  My love is more than an emotion or
feelings that can be felt, it is all that I Am.  Since you have turned
your face and heart to Me to be taught of this great all powerful love, I
will not fail to take you
step by step into a deeper place with Me.  Believe in My love for
you, for then I will meet your every need.
     "The LORD hath
appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an
everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." (Jeremiah 31:3)
     "Now
our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath
loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope
through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word
and work." (2 Thess. 2:16-17)

     "If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous
gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven
[perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep
on asking Him!" (Matt. 7:11)

     "Show me your unfailing love in
wonderful ways.  You save with your strength those who seek refuge from
their enemies.  Guard me as the apple of your eye.  Hide me in the shadow
of your wings." (Ps. 17:7-8)

Good morning,

     Already many of us have experienced cataclysmic events in our natural and spiritual lives.  This is when we as believers lean upon the everlasting arms of God, we lean our whole person upon His infallible Word.  We can be sure of this, that all of us who simply put our trust in the Lord will find a refuge [anything to which one has recourse or aid, relief, or escape, retreat, secure height, high place] in Him.  "God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas, Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult.  Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!  There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.  God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning]."  So, since we are in the tabernacle of God, we will not be moved [we will not be greatly shaken, dislodged, overthrown, or dropped].  God will help us right early.  Right means to turn towards us and make clear.  As we continue with the Lord, every step will be made clearer and greater understanding will come as we refuse to be moved.  Here is the other prophetic word that I would like to share with you today.  Selah, pause and think on it.

     The Spirit of the Lord says;

     Be encouraged as you are pressured from every side, I am using all things to draw you closer to Me.  My Word will be accomplished, every prophetic Word will come to pass, as this age is drawing to a close.  Be not weary in trusting in Me, I will uphold you and preserve you.  Your forefathers and the saints of old, longed to see your day.  This is the day that my glory will shine brightly, even more as darkness increases.  This is the day of My greatness, when My anointing shall rest on all that will yield, the old and the young.  Wait, write and be attentive.  All things that I have spoken in My Word are accelerating to an end.  Stay in a state of readiness.  Awaken yourself to My Presence.  Do not become overwhelmed by the pressures, you must overpower them by submerging yourself into communion with Me.

     Do not fear the many testings and trials of these times, for I am calling you even now, to a place where your very breath is dependent upon Me.  You, My children must see and understand that without Me, you can do nothing.  For too long, you have put your hope in your abilities and strength.  This present darkness will cause you to lean on Me and acknowledge Me in all of your ways.  I delight in keeping you on the ordered steps for your destiny.  Changing your mind set and thinking just the way I do, will keep you in all of My ways.  My way is the high way of living to all ages and generations.  This is the dawning of a new day for all that call on My name from a pure heart.  I am washing you from all that have kept you defiled.  This season you must not look to the temporal, it is becoming more fruitless.   Do not look to those things that are around you, your jobs, careers, educational system, financial institutions, even your ministries or leaders.  Many things that you have relied on are failing.  They are all subject to change, by the power of My Word.  My people must learn to trust in Me and My Word.  Because as you continue in My Word, you will continue to breakthrough into the glories of the Kingdom.  You will not fail and neither will My Word.  An uncommon and peculiar grace will overflow into My children's lives.  As you push past the place of complacency and hunger for more, I will arise in you!  Yes, in supernatural signs and wonders, I will arise.  I will do fearsome and wondrous things that will confound the wise.  Signs in the heavenlies and in earth's atmosphere, greater demonstrations of My judgment and My mercies.  Keep your eyes looking up.  I Am drawing near to those that are drawing closer to Me.  I will revive you and you shall have double honor in Me.  Encourage yourself, be filled by singing psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, and making melodies in your heart unto Me and watch your anointing double.

 Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

     Again I am placing the prophetic word that the Spirit of the Lord spoke to us last year for as we reread them we can see that nothing has caught our Father off guard.  Knowing that this is true, then we can be assured that He has prepared for us too.  "For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear].   But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently." (1 Corin. 10:13)  All the while we are in continuous and progressive movement.  We are like a flowing river that moves determinately forward.  We must never become indifferent nor compromising when it comes to God and His Word.  We, the children of God move forward by doing the Word no matter what goes on in the world.  Let the Voice of Holy Spirit answer the voice of the world without.  "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence.  In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]!  For I have overcome the world.  [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]" (John 16:33)

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     Come away and draw close to me, I want to prepare you for the difficult days ahead.  Many of my dearest little ones will be caught off guard because they refuse to listen to My voice, they have been hearing the voices of many false prophets.  They are saying, "all is well, and you have nothing to be warned about."  Yet, I have placed watchmen on the walls, who have seen the perils from afar, and have been declaring to all that will have ears to hear, to hear what the Spirit is saying.  No, do not regulate your life by fear, you must always live by faith, trusting My Word.  You should be familiar with the chamber of My room, where I reveal and make known all secrets to My holy ones.  My Word is true, all of it is true.  It is your map and clearly shows where we are and where we are headed.  It is all good to those who have put their trust in Me.  Warnings are not to bring fear, but in order that you may be aware.  Your preparation, should be to become sensitive to My voice, get used to hearing the sound of Me.  I will lead you to the still and peaceful waters, even in the midst of the storms of life.  I Am your hiding place, your safe haven.  So don't be dismayed when you see what will come upon the earth.  It has always been coming to this.  Those who have made me their Refuge will see the pressure rising and building over the wicked and the evil, but it will not be able to touch My faithful ones.  I have been a Shield to all who know Me as a Warrior and to all who have allowed Me to fight for them in past battles.  Wake up to the cry of My prophets that run with My Word, you will recognize My voice.  I Am all that is desired and needed by My loves, a strong fortress to them, while the rich have trusted in their wealth as their high wall.  Everything that has been erected and built by all other gods will come down, every high place that was built by this Babylon system will experience a crash.  Men that doubt Me and My Word have already built up a new system to lean and trust on.  Their wisdom will be exposed as complete folly, yet they will only see it has higher intelligence.

     In the midst of these perilous times, water, rain, and the wind will blow My loves from their places of obscurity.  They will become vibrant once again with new life to spring up with fresh wells of revelation, insight, worship and understanding of the times and seasons.  Arising with abilities that will bypass their natural capacity to sustain and cause them to prosper even in the time of famines.  They will dream with clearer definition and awaken with understanding.  The visions they see will give them deeper insight into the next steps that must be taken to bring them to a place where they are inaccessible to the climate around them.   Their worship will come from those deep wells that have been untapped, but now the thirst for more will require them to draw more.  Sharpen your blade, strength requires you to be sharp now!  The wisdom you receive from Me will help you to succeed.  I have sent My armies from heaven to be at your aid, for My holiness will be displayed by My righteous ones.  You, My loves will be My pride and My glory, even in the middle of difficult times!

Love,

Good morning,
     Today as I was out walking and looking around me I could see many things that were green and growing, but also in the middle of green growth there was scattered throughout a lot of brown dead things.  This brown death left holes in the different areas of the woods and fields.  Then I heard the Lord say to me:
     "This is how it is in My house.  Many have died while trying to hang in while not being rooted.  They thought that the entertainment and involvement in other activities would keep their attention, thereby keep them.  They never did what was necessary to get rooted in Me, even though they were instructed by My leaders to soak in My Word and in My Presence, they lightly esteemed My directives.  The words of their own mouths have destroyed most of their growth, because they have not lined up with My Words.  Now they are still there but dying on the vine.  I will come soon and cut away those dead branches for they are drawing the life away from the living.  All that are alive in Me need every nutrient that I Am giving to sustain and move ahead.  This season that is upon My children will require their undivided attention and their whole mind to be in unison with Me."
     As I continued walking I was saw several beautiful white flowers with a little red center, they were growing free in the midst of weeds and tall grasses.  Isn't it amazing to see God's hand in the great outdoors growing without our attention to watering, pruning, and cutting back?  It reminded me of the verse about the lillies of the fields, they neither toil or spin.  Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of them.  Then the Lord spoke to me again:
     "I have set aside ones that are growing unnoticed by men, great leaders for this season that My children are about to enter.  Some of them have been rejected by men, because they did not fit into their plans.  I have ordained these '"looked over" ones to gain ground in My house.  They seem to be misfits to most, in My house as well, but I have grown them as John, out in the wilderness without the influence of men, they are untainted.  They have sat at My feet and lived in My Presence that is why their ways are alien to the world and even peculiar to those in My house that have become stale and religious with their traditions and ceremonies."
     "I have made them to be beautiful and at the same time they have become a sharp threshing instrument, cutting all that stands in the way.  They will be multiplying in My house and will rise up and war on the behalf of the Kingdom, bringing many more who have been looking for where they belong.  They will grow in favor with Me and with all mankind causing many to turn and see what I have done with the wild and beautiful.  Just as the wildflower brings glory to the woods, so these wildflowers that I have planted will bring glory to the Kingdom.  They are excited to be in My house and serve in My house.  Their season is for a time in Me and nothing will stop their growth and their power to effect change to all they touch!  As the flower begins to fade, they will be transformed and be rooted in Me as stable trees!  Marvel at the work of My hands and the army I have raised.
     "You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.  You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land." (Ps. 80:8-9)  

     "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.  He cuts off every branch that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.  You have already been pruned for greater fruitfulness by the message I have given you." (John 15:1-3)

     "Behold, I will make you to be a new, sharp, threshing instrument which has teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills like chaff." (Is. 41:15)

Good morning,
     This is a word that was spoken to me in a time of prayer. 
          My dear little one, I know that you still do not understand the great love that I have for you.  I love you!!   There is so much more depth to those words when I say them, the enemy has done everything to degrade the power of My love by making My love seem so ordinary, it is beyond the comprehension of the world's mind.  It can only be tapped into by My Spirit living in you.  Everything that I have is yours.  I do not love any one, more than I love you.  You are special to Me.  Do not judge My love for you by looking at the lives of anyone else.  You can not see or know all that is going on in someone else's heart or lives.  Nor do you know if all that you see is real, or just smoke and mirrors.  I am requiring you to believe that I Am good to you and you will begin to experience the extreme kindness and the overwhelming goodness that is for you.  I Am not an unfaithful lover, I Am extraordinarily generous to all who believe.  Believe and decree My loving-kindness to you.  I need you to step it up in this area of faith, so that you can move ahead of the famines, droughts, storms of fire, rain, wind, and dust all that is coming upon the earth, for the shifting in atmospheric conditions are unstable and unpredictable by men, but you will be fixed because you are loved.  My love for you and your trust in that love will be an umbrella of protection against any and all things that come.  You will decree in your life, that there is a supply no matter what, because of the faithful, steady love of your God.  You will walk under the steady stream of the Kingdom and all that is of the Kingdom's.  You, yes you!  You are special, you are highly favored by Me.  You are worth the love that was displayed by My death, burial, and resurrection.  Do not accept the lies of the enemy.   Don't look to others or expect others to know how to love you to the depth that I do.  That is emotional lovers, based on how they feel.  I Am constant, never changing.  My desire for you is always, always the same.  Take it to your heart that I want to do you good all the time.  Decree it from your lips, "that I want to do you good at all times", and you will see the goodness drop down like sweet, thick honey all over your life.  I Am Abba, your Father, your Daddy, and I am taking you up in My arms to cover you with My covering.  I will keep you from falling into snares and pits of camouflage that was set up by imitation lovers.  I Am going to overtake you with My goodness to you.  Take My hand and I will cause you to rest in My love and provision from My good treasury.  Expect to see My goodness to you!
     "Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence.  [What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living!  Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring.  Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord." (Ps. 27:12-14); " [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men." (Ps. 31;19)  "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." (1 John 4:16)
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     Here is a prophetic word that was sung at our church this past Sunday.  Remember every prophectic word gives us a Word from God to "war" with in our lives.  So, selah, pause and calmly think on it.  Hear what the Spirit of the Lord says;
I'm about to take you in.  
Many never see my glory, but I'm about to take you in.  
Doors will seem like they're closing, but I'm about to open up a new and better way.  
I Am the Lord your God and I know the way.  
Many try to go their own way, but I know what doors are closing.
I know the ways that are open and even though it looks like the doors are closing, don't you dare give up, don't you dare quit.  
For I Am on the horizon and opening up a new way, a greater plan, a greater day, a greater way and I'm opening it just for you.  
I have seen your faith in the night season ,yeah, you never give up and you never quit even though others have left me.  
You remain faithful and I can count on you.  I count you as faith to me and I will do wonderful things for you.  
I have said over and over again, I show myself strong on your behalf.  
So get ready, and understand, that I have given you a clue, many doors will be closed to you.  
They're not the doors that I want you to walk through but I'm about to open a door for you.  
It will be broad and a high way and it will be the right one.  
So don't try to push open any doors, let me show one greater than you ever perceive, greater than you ever thought, for I am the God of the end times and I'm setting my children up.  
I'm setting my children up right in the right place, right at the right time.  
So don't be discouraged if a door close in your face.  
I'm about to open up a new one.  
I'm about to open up a new one.

This is what I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying:

     Many of you have tried to open up some doors by pushing and pressing.  Those were not the doors that I opened for you but I'm about to open up doors that will be open up wide and see these are the doors for you, that I have enlarged so that you can proclaim my gospel, large so you can walk up and down in my glory.  For the glory of God will rest upon you and many will see and know that I Am God.  I'm placing you in a right place, in a strategic place for the season that is at hand.  Many are lost and needing someone to show them the way.  And you are that group and I have divinely inspired places for you and I'm about to bring and open those doors wide for you.  You think that you're forgotten, you think that I have left you out.  But I have not left you out, I'm bringing you to the forefront.  I'm bypassing all others so that my glory might be seen in these last days so that I can un-strand the last remnant of those who would be saved.  I'm working a plan and my plan is for the kingdom.  So listen and follow Me saith the Lord and you will see that greater way, you will know that greater vision, you will know the glory of the Lord God in the midst of diversity.  You will know Me like you've never known Me before.
     "I know your [record of] works and what you are doing.  See!  I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name." (Rev. 3:8- Amplified)
     "There is a right time for everything, and everything on earth will happen at the right time." (Eccles. 3:1 Easy To Read Version)

Good morning,
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
          Embrace transition!  You will come through stronger and wiser, believe Me.  In the midst of the storm is when you actually develop your spiritual muscles and stamina.  You learn how to stand irregardless of all that is going on around you.  You will allow the roots to go down deep so that winds of troubles can't uproot you.  After the storm is over you will see that the sun was shining even through the darkness, for I Am your light.  You will see that all that you thought you could not live without, those things that have been blown away by the winds, were not essential to your living.  In fact you will find that now you are more free than you could ever imagine.  You will go places in Me that those things that bound you kept you from experiencing.  So do not be afraid of this transition, it is for your good.  I know that it is not what you thought, I know that it doesn't look like what you imagined, I know that it doesn't feel good, but I Am in the midst of the fire with you, I have not forsaken you.  I will perform My Word concerning you, and this too shall pass.  It will serve as a testimony to My goodness!  Trust Me, I Am trustworthy, remember My faithfulness to you in times past, I change not.  Say what I Am saying about this journey (through), I Am bringing you out to take you in to the good plan that I set up for you.  Hear Me, I have ordered your steps and beyond the dark clouds there is much brighter days for a stronger and wiser you to complete the Kingdom.  You are bigger than where you are now, so I Am correcting all that has been out of line and bringing all back into divine order at just the right time!  Embrace your transition, it is working together for your good!
     And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known.  I will make darkness into light before them and make uneven places into a plain.  These things I have determined to do [for them]; and I will not leave them forsaken. (Is. 42:16)
     The Father keeps telling me to embrace transition.  I have heard it from three different people speaking into My life, after the Lord spoke it to Me in My prayer time.  If it is repeated by God, it is a revelation to meditate on.  Selah, pause and calmly think on this.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
    
The Spirit of the Lord says:
     You have been in training for reigning in the coming days.  I know that for many this has been a war on the mind as well as the areas of your body and relationships.  You will arise from this time as one that is fully persuaded.  You will not be easily moved or shaken.  For the personal shaking that you have endured has made you stronger and you have learned how to depend and trust Me.  You have leaned your entire personality upon Me. 
     Small foxes have creeped into My House sent to try and cripple My children.  The attempt has been to hinder you with many obscure and unclear thoughts that he tried to embed in your mind and heart.  His purpose is to hinder and rob you of your purpose and destiny; with confusion, discouragement, and distractions.  I have given to you ministering angels to help you along the journey, to aid you in staying the course.  Holy Spirit gently speaks to you My Word, this is why you must lean entirely on My Word.  He will speak to you what you have allowed from My Word to be placed within your heart.  That's why I have told you, to keep your heart pure.  With the pure, I will come to purely.  Keep your eyes on Me, I Am well aware of the hanging and looming oppressive spirit that is trying to move you off course.  I know that the enemy waits for the wounded, the weary, the discouraged, the ones whose vision has become blurred and he uses them to assault the stronger ones as well.  That is why I Am always sending you help from the Kingdom, I Am the Lord Warrior.  I Am mighty in battle!  My help is My mighty messengers, war-faring angels, that war on your behalf, so that you are not alone.  Do not turn on one another by division and strife, do not be self-slaughtered, but draw strength from the stronger ones in My Kingdom that I send out ahead of you to march in the paths that I Am making clear to My leaders.
     Hear Me and understand that I Am sending a great shift in what you perceive and know as My church.  I Am shaking every House that bears My name and yet does not know My ways.  I Am deep-cleaning those who are Mine to further bring out all that I have placed inside, in order to affect the land that I have given to them.  Many have been under pressure and they have been pressed for this time, now they will arise with the fresh anointing on behalf of all that have allowed their light to grow dim.  You are to stand and do not lay down the Sword that I have placed in your mouth.  Speak the Word that I give to you and every evil spirit will begin to flee.  I will be allowing you a time to be strengthened for what must come on the earth.  It must come, in order to separate the wheat from the tare.  It must come so that you may see what is in you, and oh, you will be astounded of the faith that is in you.  Up until now not many have seen Me as their God that supplies all their needs.  Many have never had to depend upon Me, for their ways were always sufficient for them.  Now in families there will come forth My ordained Joshua's, Joseph's, and Moses'.  Those who have My heart, My message, My plan, and will not deviate in order to build their own Kingdom.  Those whose heart is after My own, those who have gone through the test in order to walk the path that I chose for them, a set apart path.
     Know this, that I Am faithful to watch over and provide for My own.  I Am the Lord and I change not.  I will provide for you beyond your ability.  I will carry you, beyond your comprehension.  I will be to you, your God, the One Who is more than enough.  I will bring your children from afar and those who have turned away I will turn their hearts back to you.  I only need your full attention.  I will be able to do much more if you agree with me.  Do not fight against Me, do not waste any more time doubting or playing in the fields of flesh, for I Am bringing even this to work for your good.  In learning more of Me, you will truly learn to trust Me with your life.  Let go and let Me be your God.  The God you have only heard about and have known very little of Who I really Am.  But this is the day that many of My own will finally know Me.  I will be Light to you in a time of darkness, Bread to you in place of hunger, water in a dry and weary land.  I will be your All, and you will love Me more than you have ever loved before.  It will look like the hardest time, but with Our eyes, We will see that it is like an oasis in a desert land, a warm light in a cold dark place.  It is the prelude to Our great date of celebration.  You will be carried in My arms and fully protected.  I Am sending a fresh wind to revive all that I have given and I Am placing new revelation alongside the refreshed.  I Am the Lord and I cannot lie.                                                                                                                                                     
     I had heard of You [only] by the hearing of the ear, but now my [spiritual] eye sees You. (Job 42:5);  With the kind and merciful You will show Yourself kind and merciful, with an upright man You will show Yourself upright, with the pure you will show Yourself pure,and with the perverse you will show Yourself contrary.  For You deliver an afflicted and humble people but will bring down those with haughty looks.  For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; the Lord my God illumines my darkness. (Ps. 18:25-28)

Good morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says:
     You have stepped into another level, one that I have prepared you for, it has been years in the making, waiting for you to mature, to drop off and let go of all that would have kept you from fully performing and appreciating all that I Am doing now.  The whole creation has patiently waited for this day, for My children to rise and take their place.  Shake off of you the world and its way of thinking and its way of being, for the force of your Father cannot be contained in one place or in one person.  I Am about to astound even those who have faithfully believed in Me, so expect the world to place a label on My encounters with you.  It will not be correct what they perceive, for when this world can not understand, it labels the unknown as mystical or mysterious.  Heaven touching earth is beyond words, but it will be done for the purpose of keeping My promise to generations before.  I have made promises to your forefathers, now I will perform My Word to them.  Your sons and your daughters I will bring to My House by a mighty move.  You are a part of My Word being performed on the behalf of the prayers of the righteous.  This I will do, because I Am faithful.  But everyone has the choice once they encounter Me, to love Me faithfully or not, I will not force anyone to love Me.  But for those whose hearts desire Me, there will be a new awareness of My nearness and My willingness to do them good.  Many will say daily, "the Lord loves me and does me good."  You will see My hand in your life everyday more powerfully, because your eyes are open to see, you have removed the blinders.  Your hunger for My Word has opened you to walk in the heavenly realm.  Now these things I speak of is for the few who choose to love and live for Me unbridled.
     Listen, listen, and you will be able to lift your heads above all of the overwhelming tests that have come.  You will see Me walk the way of deliverance and hear Me saying, "this is the way walk in it."  Each guide-step will bring you to another answer, until your way is made clearer and your trust in Me is unhindered.  Our relationship will become more intimate, until your dependency on Me will be complete, and We will be one.  That has been My purpose, for us to be One.  Then I can truly move within you and My power can be demonstrated by those whose mind and heart are Mine, not those building their own kingdom and trying to use Me to fulfill their own self-centered ways.  No, this prepared people are marching in line and they are having all things in common.  This will be the recognition line that their desires and Mine are the very same, when there can be no other plan but Mine.  This is the bride of Christ, My people beautified by the oneness, that is the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost.  One purpose, those who are fully consecrated and dedicated to Me will find that they will walk in a deeper revelation and a higher anointing.  For you have come through and the strategies of the wicked one did not keep you down, you allowed yourself to grow and now you will enjoy the unity of Oneness.
     His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church), [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.  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 andin all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed ). (Ephes. 4:13-15)

Love,

Pastor D.

Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
     My precious treasure and My dearly beloved, all that have been redeemed by My blood.  Listen intently to My Words, for often I speak and you do not perceive or understand, because you have too many thoughts that take priority over My Words.  I have said to you in My Word that in the last days that judgment will begin in My house and when it does begin in My house, what will be the end of those who do not respect, believe, or obey My Word?  Judgment has begun and My children do not see it, they perceive it as a lethargic mind and heart but I said to you that I would separate the wheat from the chaff and those that are sheep from the goat.  The day of falling away has started and My people are not even aware of it, keep your eyes in My Word and you will know what is taking place.  Those who were not rooted in Me, but desired to be a part of some worldly thing have become fainthearted!  Keep yourself rooted in My Word, not in your feelings.  My Word must be your road-map and your guide; for your senses are often led by the pack and the natural.  You must be stable in heart and mind and not be shaken, these things must take place in order for your King to return and the time of the lawless one to be revealed.  I have told you these things that you may know and understand the season and the times and not fall away or give in to the pressure of the day.  So, stand that you may be counted worthy and that you may fulfill all My good pleasure in this season.
     Do not walk around in darkness, for you are children of the light, I have revealed to you My plan and My way.  My Word, it is the light that you must turn up to the highest power now to guide you through the storms of life, for if you lean on your own understanding you will be led astray, just like the many.  These are the perilous times that I have warned you about so be quick to see it in My Word.  When you see things, remember My Word, it is written for your guide and directions to navigate you to the place  of My promise.  Continue in the things that you have been taught, for evil is waxing strong, but My grace is sufficient to see you all the way through.  Keep your eyes on Me and I will lead you to the promise and you will be found in the Kingdom.
     For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God?  And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked?  Therefore, those who are ill-treated and suffer in accordance with God's will must do right and commit their souls [in charge as a deposit] to the One Who created [them] and will never fail [them]. (1 Peter 4:17-19)
     BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].  For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters.  They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.  [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.  [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit.  [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.  For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession].  Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].  (2 Tim. 3:1-5)  Also read 2 Peter chapter 2.
 
Love,
