Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
    I will share with you a Word that was given to me personally.  As
I think on what is spoken I am reminded that this is something that God
has been speaking to us over and over again.  We tend to neglect or
forget previously spoken words.  Most of the time these words are for a
time or season.  God always prepares us for what is ahead, by getting us
ready for change far ahead of the time.  When we receive instructions
from Him and we can't comprehend them in the here and now, that is when
we have to have faith and trust.  We fight and war with those prophetic
promises, not dismiss them.  That's why we must continually be renewing
our minds, so we don't neglect the Word.  We must believe that Father
knows best.  We should be a discerning people and know the times and the
seasons that we are in, or at least listen to those that are anointed
and stand in the office as the sons of Issachar did;  "And
of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment." (1 Chron. 12:32).  Listen;
     I have
declared to you once and again to come to the place that you owe no one
anything other than to love them.  This is a position of authority and
power that I desire for My children to hold for the set days ahead.  As
you are released from the bondage's of debt, then you will be free to
obey Me in areas of being a distributor and a wise steward.  I long for
you to have One Master, not many.  For as you walk free from the
entanglements of this world's system then you will be free to do the
Kingdom's business.  You will not be lorded over by the god of this world
and its system, mammon.  You can not serve two masters, you will be
disloyal to one, and I must have loyalty.  These three spirits are always
trying to ensnare My children to keep them restrained from following My
ways freely, they are the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and
the
pride of life.  They attach themselves to My people in varying degrees
and numerous ways.  Their assignment is to bring deception and they
attempt to beguile My chosen ones into making choices based on
feelings.  I need you to be undivided and un-distracted, able to hear and
obey, without open doors to hearken to the voice of mammon, whether it
will work for you, or you having to work for it.  Do not be entangled
with these ways.  I Am more than enough!  I have delivered and set you
free to obey My Word, but you can become entangled again by your own
choices.  I have always given you the choice.  Choose wisely.  Choose to
stay free, for this is the season and the reason that I brought you out
of the bondage's of this system.  Many have run back because they did
not understand the purpose of this freedom.  Listen carefully, there is
coming a turnaround, in a few years you will see clearly why I have
pursued you to be free from
your dependency on this system.  It has been slowly deteriorating.  I
have allowed the slow descent in order to preserve you alive and free as
many of My deliverers for this season.  If you let Me, I will set you up
as My Joseph's in the days coming upon the face of the earth.
     You will experience for yourselves
a jubilee that will overflow into every arena of your life, spiritually,
physically, financially, and especially in your soul.  This world will
be forced to release all that they have kept from the ones who have
chosen to faithfully obey Me and My Word.  I will plentifully reward the
obedient ones and those that have used the talents that I have entrusted
to them.  It will be the best of times for those who have hearkened
diligently to Me, even while others experience the worst of times.  Choose wisely now, for it will affect your immediate future!  You will be
even as My son Isaac, who prospered in the time of famine, because he
obeyed My voice.  The ones who hear and do My Word are
blessed.  You will lack no good thing and will be above only.  Because you
have humbled yourself in obedience, I will now exalt you, and cause you
to
experience the "true riches", which are not dependent on anything of
this world.  Now, I Am given you a space to loose yourself from any and
all other masters of this worlds system.  Ask of Me and I will show
marvelous ways to walk in the freedom of obedience and then you will
allow Me to position you for the glorious days of My Church triumphant!
     "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other.  You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in)." (Matt. 6:24)
     "A good man leaves an inheritance [of
moral stability and goodness] to his children’s children, and the wealth
of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the
righteous, for whom it was laid up." (Prov. 13:22)
     "Render to all men their dues.  [Pay]
taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to
whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.  Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another;
for he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has
fulfilled the Law [relating to one’s fellowmen, meeting all its
requirements]." (Rom. 13:7-8)

    "No
man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that
he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." (2 Tim. 2:4)

Good morning,
    
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
       
     It is time to abandon and fling off
the works of the flesh.  It is time to run the race that I have set
before you, unhindered by the flesh.  Run towards the fulfillment of My
promises, run without obligations to this world, run with your total
commitment toward the Kingdom.  Hear Me, are you going to try to finish
what was started in the spirit, by the flesh?  Spirit is calling to
spirit, deep calls to deep in you.  Hear Me, I Am calling you up higher
where you can see the hidden and the obvious traps and snares of the
wicked one.  You will view the steps that I have ordered for you to take
and you will walk in this inside information.  This is what I will use to
set you up and apart in the coming days, to see to it that you are the
head and not the tail, to make sure that you come behind in no good
thing.  Your will aligns with Mine and we will be unstoppable.  These are
the days that all heaven is rejoicing about.  Many will rise up and take
their place of anointing in the Body.  Together you will decree My name
and My blood and your testimony will make you overcome.  Your word lining
up with My Word will keep you covered and make you inaccessible to the
evil in these days.
     As always I instruct My own during
times of judgment, by giving more of My grace and mercy to protect them
from any harm.  So keep the blood and My name in your heart and on your
lips.  My ability in your life will be seen and experienced by all of
those outside of My covenant.  They will know that you have something
that they desperately need, this is the stage for My call and
invitation to go forth.  They will see My preservation over you and your
family and long for it.  For as I Am so will you be in this world.  My
perfecting love keeps fear from entering in your hearts.  These are the
days that you will truly be My ambassadors for the Kingdom, there will
be no room for fear, for you must walk on the water with Me.  Revelation
comes now about your God given authority, which gives you the boldness
to imitate Me more efficiently.  My beloved ones will be the
extraordinary victors that I have called and anointed them to be.  Walk
on in the knowledge of My love and My mercy, with a fresh mantle of
grace to move in the miraculous.  This will be the best and the worst of
times, you determine which side you will walk in.  It is settled by
yielding to the Spirit, not to the flesh.  The Word keeps your spirit
sensitive to all that I Am doing.  Find yourself in Me, for we will do
great things! 
     "For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.  You were running the race nobly.  Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and
following the Truth?   This [evil] persuasion is not from Him Who called
you [Who invited you to freedom in Christ]." (Gal. 5:6-8)
     "So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and
move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our
lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the
flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit].  For those who are according
to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and
seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit.  Now the mind of the
flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death
[death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and
hereafter].  But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul]
peace [both now and forever]." (Rom. 8:4-6)
    "And they have overcome (conquered) him
by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their
testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing]."

Good morning,

     I am sure that there are times in all of our lives when we are awakened to hear the voice of the Lord speaking to us. He calls at all times of the day and night. This is one of those words during the night vigil.

     The Spirit of the Lord says;

     The times of prolonged tearing down and breaking down has passed, enter the times of building and planting.  There has come a renewed hunger and thirst for Me and My Word.  Many will be on fire and ablaze with My glory.  I will lead forth with My grace.  My grace will lead into more of My glory.  You will look and see a Star, the only Star that outshines any and all other lights, hovering and brooding over you to speak new life into you.  I have dressed My children up in their holy apparel.  Apparel of love, faith, righteousness, and holiness, and then I will glitter you with My grace.  My ability will be upon your inability, causing all to look and see Me.  My grace will uncover all performers and bring to the front all ministers that are hidden under Me.  You are being built up so that you can truly lift me up without presenting a mixture of weakened power with the glamor of this world.  You will rise up from the church of Pergamos and Thyatira, a compromising and adulterous Church, you will be a pure and holy bride, My true Church.  You will put off the clothing of the harlot and be known as My virgin bride.  So many of My children have cried out for this holiness and righteousness, so you will step into it and by so doing you will move up higher in My love. 

     You will not be deceived by the spirit of the world, no matter what or how it may try to disguise itself.  You will awake, arise, and go forth, saying, "I am preparing the way for My glorious King."  You will go as kings and break down the idol gods that have slipped into My house, through the spirit of compromise, the spirit of Jezebel.  This spirit has fought My truth from being declared without trying to pollute it with the mixture of the world.  The precious is clearly now being separated from the vile.  There will be no intermingling with My church and compromise with the world that produces an abomination.  Now, hunger and thirst has returned to My children and they will not be denied, because of the desperate longing for more of Me. 

     In this year of hard and difficult times, they will not fear.  They have learned through the times of being broken and pulled up, to trust Me.  My children will look up, knowing that they will have help and a refreshing.  Because their faith will be so powerful and tangible, nations will look and see that My house has returned to the God of their fathers.  They are not trying to court and allure the world by acting like them anymore, they are acting like the Kingdom.  A shift in this world's economics, politics, leadership, and the earth's natural core is greatly shifting.  There will be fires coming up from the grounds as well as unknown sources breaking out.  At the same time water will break its boundaries from beneath and above in every form known.  While these things are going on in the natural, it will pale in comparison to what will break out in My House.  Yes, fire and water at the same time in My house.  Deep will open up and will come from little known places from less known people, to take My Church higher.  Small beginnings will be made into massive moves.  Rumblings, rumblings, are being heard in the realm of the Spirit.  Listen closely, My little ones, your labor has not been in vain.  I reward all who are faithful.  I have seen your loyalty, and your loyalty to Me is about to be rewarded.  All that was done in secret will be rewarded openly.  Much that was done that seemed insignificant, because it was not met with applauds by others, has always been significant to Me.  Everything done in My name and for the Kingdom will have room made for it.  Remember My ways are higher than yours, and My plans are so much greater! 

     "See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant." (Jer. 1:10) 

     "Therefore thus says the Lord [to Jeremiah]: If you return [and give up this mistaken tone of distrust and despair], then I will give you again a settled place of quiet and safety, and you will be My minister; and if you separate the precious from the vile [cleansing your own heart from unworthy and unwarranted suspicions concerning God’s faithfulness], you shall be My mouthpiece.  [But do not yield to them.]  Let them return to you—not you to [the people]." (Jer. 15:19)

     "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." (Isa. 55:9)

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
Sharing a Word that was given in one of those twilight hours;
     It is time to be excited about what is going on in the realm of the Spirit.  Look beyond the veil that was rent to allow you access
into the activities of the Kingdom.  All whose heart is set on
establishing the Kingdom reign and not on establishing their own agenda,
will see and follow in the steps that I have ordained for My end-time
warriors.  There will be no more discord, only the oneness that is
experienced in the fellowship of the Three.  You will walk together to
bring clarity to the unfinished pieces of My plan.  Each one of you that
have maintained the gates that I have set you over will begin to see
that it is for unity, for you will bring your pieces together and be one
whole.  Flowing together like this will cause you to become more
effective to the world, that needs you to arise.  The world will be
coming to you laying at your feet the gifts of
this world, all of their conquest will be yours. My mighty sons and
daughters will arise and shake off the spirit of oppression and once
again shake this world with the revelation of Who I Am.
     To My loves and My little ones, keep
your spirit, soul, and body pure by steeping yourself in My Word and
Presence.  This is where you will find the doors are open and all of
heaven fulfilling every order.  The war in the heavenlies will be won by
your passion to see My Word fulfilled.  Not only will My Body assemble and
come to order, but all of heaven will line up with My sons and
daughters.  You will understand and walk in the wisdom of My revelation,
that I have given to each one a piece of My revealing, and to ignore
another piece that I have given is to be incomplete.  You will never see
that until you embrace the piece that I have given to another.  There is
no room for jealousy and envy, it is a flesh fueled spirit that operates
from the wicked one.  This spirit that continues to be fueled feeds the
strong spirit of delusion.  This makes it easy for one to believe lies,
lies about My
truth, lies about My ministry, lies about one another.  Purify yourself
by seeing through the eyes of My Word not through the eyes of the
un-renewed mind.
     For there are many voices decreeing many
things, many are decreeing My great truth, and many the great deception
of the enemy.  You must be pure of spirit, soul, and body to be able to
discern clearly.  The enemy has always tried to simulate Me, He appears
as an angel of light, but then darkness comes quickly to assault all who
receives his lies.  Hear My Word, stay close to Me and you will walk in
the Light, and know that the Greater One has made a decree.  Floodgates
are being opened afresh and anew all over you and around you.  Floodgates
that springs forth renewal and conviction of consecration.  Keep this
level of desperation and longing for Me.
     "Yet grace
(God’s unmerited favor) was given to each of us individually [not
indiscriminately, but in different ways] in proportion to the measure of
Christ’s [rich and bounteous] gift.  (Eph. 4:7)
     "[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." (Eph. 4:13) 
     "But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and
with the best adaptation.  But if [the whole] were all a single organ,
where would the body be?  And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body." (1 Corin. 12:18-20)

Love,   

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     Two days ago, while cleaning my house, the Lord begin to speak to me.
    
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
          My mercy will bring a great
breakthrough.  It will breakthrough all resistance to Me, My Word, and My
signs and wonders.  I have planned this mercy for such a time as this.  When it seems impossible, when it seems driest, when it seems too
difficult.  Once My mercy breaks through to you, you will experience
ministering angels assisting you to do the impossible.  This is where I
have designed for My Body to be, walking in the mercy of My supernatural
gifts and callings.  This is a breakthrough to see liberation and
freedom to the miraculous.  It will manifest in areas of your life where
you have not seen it before, to your families, your body and mind, to
your places of employment.  Mercy that will bring with it no boundaries
or limits.  Those who are desperate will see heaven opening up over them
and they will experience encounters that have never
been recorded before.  Yes, more and more, greater and deeper
revelations.  Step through as the heavens open up over you.  The
invisible realm will be more tangible to you than before.  This has
always been My desire, for you to represent all that heaven is.  Your
voice will carry my anointing with greater depth and more power.  As you
decree and declare My Word, your ministering angels will hearken to
your voice.  From the place of your desperation for Me, your voice of
faith will increase and be heard by your angels and they will go to work
with great aid and assistance that will come forth from the place of My
mercy.  Greater demonstrations of My glory and My name shall be seen and
known.  It will be for those who will receive and believe in My mercy.  It is being poured out without limitations, so step in with your heart
and spirit wide open and go where few have ever gone before.  Experience
Me and know My mercy.  Those who will be surrendered to
and yield their members, they will go beyond what they have perceived
or thought upon.  Great mercy to accomplish My greater works.  There is
so much more than what you have seen or known, but this is the time for
walking in them.  Only believe!
     “I
tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I
have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the
Father." (John 14:12)
     "Are
not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the
service [of God for the assistance] of those who are to inherit
salvation?" (Heb. 1:14)

Good morning,

     This is a word that was given at our church this past Sunday morning.

    You are called
and anointed by Me.  For I delight in taking things of the earth, the
lowly, those who have no name, nor fame, nor claim to it.  I take a
delight in doing this, look and see says the Lord, begin to understand
even in the genealogy of your Lord and Savior.  There are not many
mighty, not many called who were famous or powerful, but yet I delighted
to take them. Look and know that out of the women that I placed in His
genealogy none of them had their own glory. None of them were even
worthy, yet I called and made them worthy.  I pulled them up by My Word,
says the Lord. I called them that were harlots, the lowly and scorned
and I accepted them. I called those who were cast down and rejected and I
placed My anointing upon them. Was not Rahab a harlot? Was not Tamar
even looked upon
as a harlot? Was not Bathsheba an adulteress, yet I called and I
anointed them, and Mary, who was Mary?  She was a woman that others
thought had committed fornication and I anointed and called them and
exalted them, so I say to you don't count yourself out.  Don't let the
world count you out.  Don't let those around you count you out.  For I
delight to raise up, and I delight to restore. I delight to take the
those that are discarded and seemly misplaced and cover them in My
glory.  I begin to dress them up and to brush them up and I begin to
breathe life into them that were once dead. It is I, the Lord God, full
of glory, power, radiance and love that causes those, that have been
counted out to be at the forefront of what I do.  For I take joy in My
anointing and glory flowing on those who are humble and meek and yet,
says the Lord, the world will  not understand
because the world has deemed many of My children valueless.  
   But I'm not through.  I'm not
through!  Just about the time it looks like I've given up on you, just
know I'm not through.  I have just begun to do the impossible in you,
saith the Lord, you just watch and see.  Before this year is up many of
you are going to walk out free and delivered.  This is your jubilee!
 This is your Rosh Hashanah! This
is your day that you will lift up your hand and you will say this is my
new day,this is my new year,this is my new beginning!  And you will
claim it and you will declare
it and you will decree it and there will be no weapon formed against
you that will prosper!  The devil had you at one time locked up, but
that weapon can not keep you any longer.  For you recognize, through
experience and
knowledge, that your God is at work in you! Now you will not stop
saying so, and I will not stop until I see My desire fulfilled in you.
     "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) 
     "Jesus asked them, Have you never read in the Scriptures: The very Stone which the builders rejected and threw away has become the Cornerstone; this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?" (Mtt. 21:42) 
     "For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth." (1 Corin.1:26)


Love,

Good morning,
     I have been praying and believing for certain issues that have
come up in my family.  My mom has been attacked in her body.  She is 82
years old and has never been sick.  Now, there has been an attack on her
body and my father is being attacked with worry and concern for her.  I received a call the other day that my brother may have contracted
the "West Nile Virus."  I have also been standing against some other trials
and tribulations that I have encountered in my immediate family.  In
other words, the enemy is trying to cause confusion and distraction, we
must remember that this is the purpose of the "cares of this world".  We
all know that life is full of challenges and difficulties, but the Word
is the answer to our everyday challenges.  We must be discerning and be
quick to stand on the Word of God, and not allow the cares to keep us
distracted from what the Spirit is doing and from hearing God.  Do not let them enter into your heart and choke the Word and make it
ineffective.  They are designed by the enemy to keep us from doing the
Word of God.  Here is a personal word that I am sure you will benefit
from as well.
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
          Examine your own lives, to see if you
are in the faith.  If you don't, you will find yourself doing things
little by little that you never would have done, because of your love
and honor for Me and My Word.  Now the enemy has you wiping it away with
comments like; "He understands and He knows."  You must have
a high regard for My Word and know that I watch over My Word to perform
it in your life.  Do not think that I Am like everyone else for I Am
not, I never change and My Word has been proven true.        
     Once you have found My character and My
heart I expect you to be like Me concerning those areas that I have
revealed Myself to you about, areas that are unchanging, fixed, and
immovable!  Then you are imitating your Father, not being tossed to and
fro by every wind of doctrine.  Not being persuaded by the constant
changing ways of man's mind, neither by going about doing your own ways,
those things that please you, without any regards to Me and My ways.  This behavior is not the way of the Kingdom, neither is it the way of
those who are called  by My name.  The enemy thought like this, and it
was this kind of self-elevation that took him to the depths of hell.  It
will not be so for all who honor Me as their God and Father, they will
realize and know for themselves that My way is the only Highway, bringing them to the promise.
     Even as darkness covers the earth, I Am,
only, and always, will be the Light.  I will enlighten your dark days so
that even your darkness will be light to you.  This will happen as you
lean on Me and begin to see as I see.  For I Am the way, so I Am always
leading you in the right path.  This is where your faith and trust in me
will be strengthened.  We are stepping into the season of restoration
which will be like the brightest light turned on in the midst of
darkness.  I will restore the joy of your salvation, I will restore what
has been stolen from you, your dreams, your vision, your calling, your
anointing, and your children will be restored.  With Light
comes clarity for all of these things and to walk in the fullness of the
restored!  Don't be shaken by darkness for I Am your Light.
     "Examine
yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.  Do you
not realize that Christ Jesus is in you unless, of course, you fail the
test?" (2 Corin. 13:5)
     And the cares of this world and the
deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in, choke
the word and it become unfruitful. (Mark 4:19)
     "And I
will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the
canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which
I sent among you." (Joel 2:25)

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)

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,

Pastor D.
