Good morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says,
    
     Great illuminations will come to all who have been crying to Me to see more clearly.  You will be made aware of the great depth of My love and the power you wield as you walk in it.  My love is not a "touchy feely" thing, it is all that I move in.  My love creates, fulfills, carries, and upholds all.  This day that you woke up in was because of My love for all.  A new day for My great new way to be paved and sealed for you.  Walk in the new light that you have now.  Even as others seem to be diving deeper into the darkness of this world, for the wisdom that this world thought most precious has left them empty and confused.  All that they have treasured and highly esteemed has fallen from its height and disillusioned them.  Many have placed their trust in their own wisdom and now that has failed or is rapidly declining.  Still many wander from place to place, warring in their soul, tormented by the deep darkness from within.
     You, My own previous enlightened ones must not be afraid to speak life and truth into their lives.  My Word will dispel the darkness of mind and heart, for all that desire to be free.  I will not force deliverance.  Your lighted path and illumined thinking will be a life preserver to those who are drowning and to those who are weary from trying to stay afloat by their own strength.  But be aware that for those who love their darkness, you will be scorned and lightly esteemed.  Yet I will see to it that you will never be ashamed as you keep walking in the light, it will get brighter and brighter until you outshine the confines of this world.  Your righteousness will be much more than this world can endure.  Your glory and beauty will be just right for the Kingdom.  So understand that this is the beginning of the end, just as John was sent to a generation that was in the same spiritual condition as this one, he was to go before the Lord and announce His arrival.  You have been prepared for this time to be like John, to herald the arrival once again.  Prepare the way!  For all whose hearts hunger and thirst for more of Me, they will be filled.  Those who are filthy and live for their own sensual pleasures, they will become more hardened.  I have said to you that there will be a great separation, the great divide is here.  Live wholly for Me and you will move over into the arena where illumination will cause you to walk in a greater dimension of authority and power.  Signs and wonders and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit will follow you, my enlightened ones.  
     "And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as [the shining sun of] the noonday." (Ps. 37:6)  "[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come." (Ephes. 1:17-21)

Good morning,    

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     There is coming an unusual distinction between those who are Mine and those who say they are Mine, and refuse to do My will.  I will reward My faithful ones with abundant insight and unique ways of fulfilling the Word that I have given them.  Many of My rewards are not in the realm of the earthly alone, I have many treasures that far outweigh anything of this world.  My blueprints will be contrary to some of the plans you have made.  I Am causing you to break the mold and move into originality My way.  You have tried to do things, by following others who have blazed a path, I will allow that to a degree that you lean on Me and stay alert.  Some have gone the path that I planned, and others have blazed their own and it has become monuments to the flesh and kingdoms of their own building.  Many flock there, because it is "normal" to their own senses, it's familiar, but My heavenly blueprint is in My Word, which is not the familiar.  Just stay close to My Word and you will see My plan for you is as unique as you are and you will be a blessing to the Body.  You will complete what is needed to the field that I have placed you in.  I know where you will grow to the fullest potential and carry out My purpose.  When you get into a rut, it is usually because you have taken your eyes off of Me.  My ways have been tried and they are perfected.  I keep everything exciting and new, that is why My ways are past finding out!  Stop trying to make your own path and trust me to lead you on the one that I have designed specifically for you.
     Let go of the old way, the way of you trying to be the lead, instead lean yourself over on Me.  Be very attentive to My Word and My will for that is what I Am watching over to bring to pass for you.  For too long My children have not depended on Me, they are used to being the leader, that is why it is rare for them to be still and know.  To follow My Word and get the highest results possible, is the reward of those who obey.  The mind of reasoning is usually an enemy to you walking out My will for you.  Now I have heard My children, and have seen them looking around with murmuring and complaining in their heart because they feel I Am inactive on their behalf.  The truth is, I Am waiting for you to obey me, then you will see Me manifest my promises in your life.  I Am placing in you during this season an ability to bring to completion things that you have walked away from that I placed you in.  The ability to finish assignments that you thought were to hard will come a little easier as you come close to the end of this year.  All of this, the difficulties, the testings was for you to know and understand that I have given you all power to overcome.  Whatever you decree in the land, the sphere that I placed you in will be.  It is not only for you to be a witness and a blessing, but that you would begin to know Me in a new dimension.  For some it was to know and realize that I Am your Provider, for others, it was to know Me as their Healer, still others, it was to know Me as their Counselor and Friend, to know Me as you have never known Me before.  There has been no easy outlet because I planted you there, for I will for you to know Me in a more intimate way.  So, stand still and be still and you will experience for yourself the salvation and the glory of your God!
     "Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word; let not any iniquity have dominion over me." (Ps. 119:133)  "Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations!  I will be exalted in the earth!" (Ps. 46:10): "Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you." (2 Chro. 20:17); "You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways." (Job 22:28)

Good morning,
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
          You have come to your personal burning bush, where My glory abides and My grace and ability to carry you all the way through to victory.  It is also the place where you must accept your destiny without ever looking back.  Even though there will be many challenges, even as My servant Moses faced many obstacles, yet overcame them all.  He did not let any temptations hinder him from walking out his purpose.  He carried out My purpose and plan, so much so that I called him the humblest man ever, and I called him My friend.  He settled it once and for all as he looked into the burning bush and all that he saw was able to hold his gaze and his devotion throughout his ministry.  He would not quit even though opportunity after opportunity presented itself.  He remained faithful to Me, as I was faithful to him.  Now it is your turn to look, gaze, and behold My glory.  You will see that this same power and ability is yours.  Time for you to go through the many tests that bring you to destiny, and not let any obstacle hinder you.  It is an uncompromising way.  When you say, "I will not look back or quit", then you will quit looking back and let My Word and Presence carry you through, being totally devoted to My plan.
     Even as the upheaval of the natural world continues to run parallel with the spiritual realm, you can be settled, by being fully persuaded.  It is My handiwork that is being done, I am removing some things while restoring others.  This is a season that must come before the time of My coming.  Purification of all that has been defiling My own.  Your thoughts have been taking up a place as an idol in your life, they must be cleansed!  Thoughts like worry, fear, anxiety, and your time and attention are focused on so many things and other lovers.  Everything is shifting for your good, to remove all that you have been leaning on and trusting in other than Me.  I have allowed many things to go on, and it was not because I was pleased nor was it because I didn't care, but I was allowing the wheat and the tare to grow together.  Because as it continues to grow it becomes clear which is wheat and which is tare.  This is not only on the level of the Body of Christ, but also what is going on in the inside of you.  I Am searching through you as well as My Body, to straighten out every crooked place in you as well as in My Body, My Church.  I am coming for My Church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish.  Washing and agitation is taking place to bring all who will go through the process for wholeness.  I Am doing this to redeem and to deliver you, My precious ones.  I will sustain and preserve My own at this time and you will know Me, better than you thought possible.  I Am making Myself known in a revealing way, to all who keep pressing inspite of all that looms around them.  As usual I Am giving you time to turn again to Me with your whole heart!
     "But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it.  Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary." (Mtt. 13:29-30)
     "So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless]." (Ephes. 526-27) 
     "I will go before you and level the mountains [to make the crooked places straight]; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron.  And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls you by your name." (Is. 45:2-3)

Good morning,
    I Am taking all that have been wounded during this great time of testing and making them whole.  Though the storms of life are still raging, those who want more are being drawn in to Me, while pulling away from all of their familiar comforters.  My grace will be sufficient for you to establish a perimeter of holiness.  You will see that many are preferring their way over Mine, but you will never walk alone, for holiness will produce wholeness in you.  I have, and will always have a holy remnant of believers that refuse to bow their knees to the comfort and compromise of being accepted by others.  For when the upheaval comes in this day, and more is coming, they will look for the ones that have remained faithful to Me and My Word.  There will be more shifting in order to do more sifting, in order for Me to have a bride without spot, wrinkle, or blemish.  She must be strong, pure, separate, yet fully ready to work in My fields.  The upheaval and shifting will occur in every realm and sphere known and unknown to man.  You, who are founded on the Rock, will not be moved, taken off guard, or ignorant concerning these things, for if you have been in tune with Holy Spirit, He has made known to you the times and the season that you are in. 
     I do hear My bride saying daily with a great longing to rid herself of the pain of this world and the longing to be with Me, "Come My King, return My Lord!"  I have aroused Myself for I yearn also for you to be with Me.  Do not let those who love this world place shame on you for desiring Me more than the temporary and fleeting pleasures.  You were made for Me!  Know that this is the time when My bride, the Church is being gathered into the palace of her King, separated for the purpose of purification for the selection of the few.  You set yourself aside by the choice of desiring Me and the Kingdom above the kingdoms of this world.
     I Am now bringing My Church back into alignment with My will so that the former and the latter rain of My glory can rest upon you and bring great restoration of your callings, purposes, destinies, and giftings.  There have been a lot that the enemy has tried to snatch from your heart during this season, some have resisted and others have surrendered.  Some of My children have become slow and lethargic, not quick and clear of mind, letting things go that they should have fought for and not released.  I Am now giving the opportunity to pick up the baton, along with all that was lost, and run again.  In this leg of the race you must not look around to see if your familiar companions are running too, for some have laid down.  Yet I have given everyone a "Jonathan" that will stay until the end.  I have placed a "butler" that will open doors for you and I have given Aaron and Hur that will hold your hands while you carry out My plan.  Know that I will never leave you alone, I will set you on high, because you have known Me and My name.  You have stayed faithful and I remain Faithful.  Your roots have grown strong and deep, that is why you will not be moved!
     "Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.  But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night.  They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.  Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do." (Psalm 1:1-3);  "He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved." (Psalm 62:2)  "So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless]. (Eph. 5:26-27)

Good morning,
     All of those that have remained planted in Me are experiencing a deeper attachment of the roots.  You will begin to see growth in yourself that you did not think that you would ever see.  You will bloom into that great tree where many will come to for the shade and food to sustain and aid them.  Many of you out of desperation have latched onto Me and have found a revelation of your God as Father and Lover of your soul.  Again, you are reminded that everything that you have endured have been for your growing.  I have allowed you to be tested and tried for I knew that you were going to come forth stronger and more committed and dedicated to Me and to the destiny that I have ordained.  You are like David who was on the backside of the desert, where it looked like no one saw his potential, value, or destiny.  Yet, when the time was right I called him from the place of obscurity and anointed him afresh and anew.  Still none could see the worth of him, but I was just bringing him out, so that I could take him to his starting place, to propel him.  I set him up in the sight of man, so that all could see his unusual faith and trust in Me.  He was able to defeat the giant in his way, and establish My presence in the midst of My people who had lost sight of Who I Am.  Today I have been raising you as a strong tree on the backside of the desert, unknown to man, yet fully known to Me.  I have allowed you to grow in your trust and faith in Who I Am to you.  You will step up to the line, fully prepared to defeat the giant in your land before your people, causing them to know that I Am God.  They will see and know that I Am your God and many will come to you, because I Am lifted high by you.  Your life and your voice will cause many of my children who have lost sight of Who I Am to renew their love.    
     There is now an Esther anointing upon many of My children.  You have been brought to the kingdom for such a time as this, to bring to lost and dying world deliverance and enlargement to My people.  You humbled yourself and stayed in the place of preparation.  You never tried to get ahead or out of line.  You have been one that kept the peace, but now it is brought to your door.  The boldness of your God is rising up in you to declare the Kingdom and speak of the glories of your Father.  You will cry loud and not spare for you recognize that it is imperative to herald.  The spirit of John the Baptist has risen to cry, "prepare the way of the Lord".  Just as there were many who came seeking to be cleaned, there will be many that will come as My children arise from the places of slumber, preparation, and testing, and flow together as a mighty river.  Yes, awakening for the time is at hand!  This is not the time to go back to the things that once held your attention and gaze, no, you can not go back to the old way of business.  For many have said, "it has been a long time since I said I would return."  Remember I Am not slack concerning My promise, I Am longsuffering allowing as many as would to come to repentance.  Stay the steady path that I set before you and do not veer off course.  I will come to all that are looking for My appearance.  Stay prepared and ready for your set time! 
     "For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14) 
     "The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance." (2 Peter 2:9)

Good morning,
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
          Out of chaos, I Am bringing great peace.  As in the beginning the world was full of chaos and I spoke peace into it.  I spoke light into darkness, I spoke creativity to disorder.  I Am doing the same thing now in your life.  I Am speaking and declaring peace to all circumstances in your life.  You have come this far by trusting and believing in me and My Word.  I Am still the same Lord, I change not!  Not one thing changes in Me, for I and My Word are constant, We remain the same.  You can always depend on Me staying consistent.
     In your life I have already dispatched war-faring angels, that are commissioned to walk with you on the right and the left, you are covered.  They will deflect and cast off every hindrance and obstacles seen and unseen by you.  All that you need to do is, "say what I say" about yourself and the steps that I have ordained.  Remember there is nothing that takes me by chance, I Am, was, and will always be all-knowing.  Listen carefully and you will hear the deep in Me calling forth the deep in you.  You will hear Me in your times of worship, in your day to day lives, you will be more aware of the heavenly help.  Your angels have received divine instructions to carry out all orders to bring you into the divine success.  You will not fail as you march with the orders for your assignment.  As you are marching, you will sing songs of thanksgiving.  All murmuring and complaining will cease, for now you are seeing and understanding your assignment.  Your thanksgiving will cause comfort to come to the areas that have been laid waste, I will cause the desert, dry, and unproductive places to be the fruitful fields.  Many will look on and know that you serve the One True God.  Your productive and fruitful life as well as your voice of constant gratitude to Me will be the greatest witness.  As you offer thanksgiving, I will joyfully bring in the harvest of family souls.  All those of your household will come and great joy and rejoicing shall be heard from My House!  Those who refused you before shall humble themselves and come to My House and the living stones, you My children!
     "And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.  Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them." (Jer. 30:19-20)
     "For the Lord will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places.  And He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord.  Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song or instrument of praise." (Is. 51:3)

Good morning,
     Wednesday night after our evening church service, I was still meditating on our prayer.  It was a spontaneous unified cry from our spirits prompted by precious Holy Spirit.  The Lord spoke to me as I meditated.
     I hear My Church crying for My return, their hearts longing for My rule and My reign.  The time where peace is the order of the day and love is true and felt.  I hear My children crying to be lifted up in their Father's arms, to know the safe haven of home.  I hear My bride crying to be swept up and swept away.  Yes, now the whole creation is in travail for the culmination of My promise.  I hear and I Am attending to your cries.  As you are coming to an end, you are stepping over into the new, a time that I have longed for, a day of restoration not of things, but of you.  I have always been on a course to straighten out the crooked places in you.  You will open your eyes from the clouds of distractions and see who you really are.  This time all fear will be gone and some of you who have been hindered by the crooked place of fear will no longer be hemmed in.  You will place your hand in Mine and trust that I know exactly how to accomplish even the most difficult task that I have called you to do.  As you take the step the supply will be abundantly given.  It will be a time of taking the five loaves and two fishes, multiplication at the prayers that are offered.  Ask of me in that simple faith, I will hear that cry as well.  You will do as is written of My children, and We will be as one, that is why before the words are formed in your mouth I will have sent the answer.  This is the time that we have long awaited, the maturing of the sons and daughters of God.  Now comes the entrance of the true heirs of the Kingdom.  Boldness to sweep the land that I have given to you, no longer ashamed to offer the Kingdom to all, the rich, the poor, the young, the old, male  and female, the cry will be heard to every nation.  Loud and strong as you join Me to snatch souls from hell's fire.  You just know that the time is close, that it is high time to wake from the slumber.  Cry loud, the night is far spent, the day is at hand.  Go, My messengers, go My witnesses, I have set you free to spread and proclaim.  You must go as one that is on fire, you must go as one that blows with the force of the wind.  I am calling all to lay aside the plans of self gratification, and place the Kingdom call above all.  I Am calling My faithful ambassadors to rise, I will provide all that is needed.  Do not be concerned about what you will say, I will fill you!  All will bubble up as springs of living waters from the deep well of salvation, that comes from the quiet times spent with me in the hiding place.  There are many that are waiting for the words of life that you carry.  I Am sending you to the fields that are ripe to harvest.  The fields are your jobs, in your neighborhoods, in your family, and some are in places that bear My name.  They are ready!  This is the day where the plowman will overtake the reaper.
     Yes, the lost are crying too.  I hear their voices as well, crying to know the true and living God.  You are My laborers, working in the vineyard.  Stay close and listen, listen and obey.  You will be a life-giver and I will enlarge your steps so that you will not slip.  So keep your eyes on Me, and don't be amazed at all that has happened it is all for your perfection, to prepare you for My greater glory.  Great will be your peace in the midst of great trouble, because you will be kept from the wicked one.
     "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt." (Amos 9:13); "Like the cold of snow [brought from the mountains] in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the life of his masters." (Pro. 25:13); "Do you not say, It is still four months until harvest time comes?  Look!  I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields and see how they are already white for harvesting." (John 4:35);  "Beloved, do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality, as though something strange (unusual and alien to you and your position) were befalling youBut insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, so that when His glory [full of radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may also rejoice with triumph [exultantly]." (1 Peter 4:12-13)

Good morning,
     Stand up and lift up your hands in total surrender to the great grace that is issuing forth from Heaven's portal.  I know that My people need extraordinary grace to walk in the demonstrations of the former and the latter rain.  I have scooped from the ashes all who desire to walk in this higher realm.  All this purifying and purging was needed in order for you to walk under My anointing and not in the power of your own being.  The fire was lit to burn away all dross and the remnants of idol gods and deadly thinking patterns and everything that had taken your attention from Me.  There will be grace, and you will know for sure that all that is being done, the signs, wonders, and miracles are under My covering of grace.
     You will be drawn deeper into the realms of My love.  I have set the stage for you to know My love that passes all understanding, while the enemy has set traps to cause some to be ensnared by fear, bitterness, hatred, anger, and many other spiritual forces that bring slow and certain death.  I Am saying you must fight the fight of faith and love.  Do the most impossible thing, run toward the giants of fear, bitterness, and all other opposing spiritual forces, be fully loaded and armed with My Word.  You are after all giant slayers, crucifying all works of the flesh and every force that is behind them.  For all who are after My Spirit do imitate Me in all of my ways.  Now will come the crucial dividing line, those who are completely after My will, are distinguished because they will consistently do My Word, not looking at what is seen.  The whole world is awaiting the rising up of the true sons of God.  The enemy's lies seem more dominant, that is even a part of the deception.  If you will only do My Word more often, you will see that the Kingdom is the true powerhouse!  I have come once again to My garden and I Am inspecting your fruit, to see the growth that has taken place.  Yes, growth takes place for those whose roots go deep in My Word, no matter what goes on around them, no matter what season they are in.  In fact that is when you step into the secret, safe sanctuary of your Father.  I have said, blessed are those who trust in Me and have made Me their hope and confidence.  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit!  You are those strong and steady oaks that the enemy has tried to take an axe to and uproot, but you have refused to be moved.  Yes, I have seen those whose conversation is always on Me.  Even when it was hard I heard you encourage your ownself in Me, by bringing to memory My good record of faithfulness.  So now because you refuse to quit or give up, prepare to stand under the great waterfall of My grace, where your weaknesses will become your strength.  My ability will cover your inability.  The waters are about to overtake you and you will float in this great grace, because you My co-laborers have no need to be ashamed!  
     "I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.  They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed."  (Psa. 34:4-5); "There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror!  For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection."  (1 John 4:18);  "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work." ( 2 Corin. 9:8);  "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit." (Jer. 17:7-8)

Good morning,
     The Spirit of the Lord says:
     I have chosen this difficult place for the place of birthing, to bring forth new life in you.  Here the enemy has been singing a death song over you, he does not fully understand that I resurrect life from here.  I have been singing My love song over you, right at the place of birthing, coaching you forward with My Word!  You will arise and shake off the covering of death and new life shall spring up.  Creativity, ingenuity, and insight will come, and the enemy shall be ashamed that he even touched you, because of his failure.  I will use this a 'pulpit', I will take what the enemy meant for your harm to minister life to all who must come the same way that you have.  They would never have come to Me, except for this place of dying that you have allowed.  Just as your Lord and Savior's death opened doors to new life for all that would accept and receive, you have imitated Him too.  You have chosen to die, even though your feelings opposed, you let the 'old' you die so that the 'new' you could rise from the ashes.  Only when a seed dies and loses its old coat can it break forth into the new.  This is the same for you.  You will shake off the 'old coat' and break forth into the new!  Opening the way for many to follow.  You will arise and hear My love song over you, "arise, arise My beloved", and as you do I will continue singing, "shine, shine My beloved".  Great grace and favor shall cover you!  Even as winter season comes and snow covers the earth, you will continue experiencing a harvest.
     You will walk into a clearness of revelation and understanding, causing you to know and be aware of the plots and snares of the wicked one.  I have positioned you strategically for the authority you have in Me so that you can represent Me and have a profound influence in your sphere.  You are prepared to run ahead of the group, so that your holy living may set the pace and goal for others to attain.  I have given you a distinctiveness, to stand out, you are peculiar for a purpose!  Together we will change the world, it is the set up for the last leg of the race.  Run, and as you do, look right on, neither gazing around at others who are running, this will cause you to stumble and falter.  As you have a fixed gaze, you will have a new anointing for this hour.  The aroma and fragrance of your King intensifies, and will draw all those who desire to come to Me, yet this same fragrance will send others far away.  Those who want Me will be drawn by My aroma flowing from you, those who don't will be repelled, just keep lifting Me up.  Infiltrate your atmosphere with the knowledge of Me.  I have been pruning and priming you for this destiny and this set time.  It is far greater than what you can see and understand!  Yet, I Am revealing more and more as you set yourself aside for Me.
     "Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God.  But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing.  To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom.  But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume.  And who is adequate for such a task as this?" (2 Corin. 2:15-16)  "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone.  But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives". (John 12:24)

Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
Here is another prophetic word that we received at our church this past Sunday.
     You have asked Me for a breakthrough.  I say to you a breakthrough is waiting for you as you break through.  Now as you do, you will breakthrough into smooth sailing over the seas that once caused you so much trouble in life, over into a new horizon.  Storms tried to take you under, but you refused to go, you broke through, even as the waves almost washed you overboard.  You broke through as you held onto My hand.  Now you look back and see the devastating storms are behind you.  You can see in the distance with the eye of the Spirit the brand new horizon ahead of you.  You come out of the storms with your hands lifted high, and I have given to you a new song and a new dance.  Victory is heard throughout your land, a bold word and a determined one.  I Am causing the old things to build a pulpit for your testimony of My goodness and faithfulness to you.  The very things meant to destroy you I Am using to accelerate you into the next level of My glory.  Just keep your eyes on Me and together we will soar and fly to places you have never dreamed before, it will seem unreal.  It is about that time and about that season for more of My glory to be demonstrated through you. 
     You have been so faithful to Me.  Now you will enter into a season of My delight and joy.  I have told you before and I tell you again, the world has never seen or known, but they will take notice and see that I love My own.
     Know and remember that right before My Son entered into His glory, the enemy staged the greatest delusion of defeat.  To most looking on at the cross, it seemed a place of defeat, a time of rejection and being despised.  But, He was always My accepted and beloved One, He stood the test and passed.  Because He stood the test, He received a name above all other names.  He received and entered into glory, and set an example for you and an opened door for you to do the same.  The enemy has not changed his mode of operating.  He still does the same.  Right before you enter into the glory that I have prepared for you, he stages the great deception, to try to get you to believe a lie.  Be wise, look, and see!  I say to you this is just the beginning of what I Am doing.  This is not his finest hour, it is ours!  So rise from the ashes and shake off all of the shackles of the past and rejoice in the breakthrough! 
     "How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you.  You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world." (Ps. 31:19) 
     "For God is not
unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name's sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do." (Heb. 6:10
)
