Good morning,
     More than ever before we need to rely upon the aid of Precious Holy Spirit.  "But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things.  And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you". (John 14:26)  He will teach us all that we need to know as we listen and consent to His stand by help.  Here is what I heard in my time of prayer and worship today.
     In My Presence, I speak to you of things as though they were.  I Am usually giving you inside information in order to aid and assist you in making the steps that I have pre-ordered for your life.  Most of My children are usually running behind, trying to straighten out the steps that they have taken without acknowledging Me.  Without the inside information that is always available, you will always be trying to catch up, but now is the urgent time for you to take more of My prescribed steps.  As you heed, you will see that the anointing that I have placed in your life through the Holy Spirit is there to counsel you and all others that I have sent you to.  As the Holy One rises up within you, and you allow the anointing that breaks every enslaving yoke of bondage, to flow and pour upon those that you are to be an intercessor, an advocate, a helper, counselor, standby, and a strengthener to.
     Your yieldings will help you to remain teachable, and you will find yourself walking in the supernatural realm.  Signs and wonders will avail themselves in your lives as the Holy Spirit teaches you and you deliberately follow His promptings.  He will cause you to progress and you will be discharged as a mighty army, dispatched into the vital areas where you will shine brighter.  All who worship Me in spirit and in truth will always hear and see what the Spirit is transmitting to them.  They will know the truth that I Am speaking, that is why they will not to need to rely on their human understanding.  The Word that they have been renewing their minds with will be set up as a signpost and a light to guide them, even though there are many voices trying to take the place of authority in their mind and heart.  This power that I have placed within you enables you to be My ambassadors, representing the Kingdom, our Kingdom.  The light in you is to reveal the Light to all that are in darkness.  My Church has chosen now to cast off the works of darkness and be holy, so that she can now shine much brighter!  My Church is accomplishing the assignment that I have issued, and all creation will rejoice at seeing the maturity of her. 
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     During my prayer time, the Lord spoke this word to me:
     I have been testing your faith, your faith which must be tried and proven to be genuine and strong.  The trials have been the proving ground to cause your faith to improve.  It must be mettle and tempered with love, not yielding to sin and selfishness.  Until now I have tried to get you to move and elevate your faith beyond selfish desires, and gain, to be grown to the level of believing me for the impossible and the miraculous.  It was never meant for just temporary things where moth and rust corrupts, and thieves break through to steal, kill, and destroy.  Your faith which is more precious than gold is far more valuable than anything this world has to offer.  You were made for something much more greater than the accumulation of materials things and storing them in bigger and better barns.  Your faith is made for you to be able to speak into existence everything needed from the spiritual realm for the supply of all those who I have ordained for your faith to maintain and teach by example.
     For the calamities and future trials that are coming upon the face of the earth will try every natural resource.  These resources will be tried until they are sparse and limited, yet, your faith once matured will be able to show you My unlimited hidden riches and resources that few will be able to see or hear.  Continue to grow in grace from one level of faith to another.  See, I Am calling for a Moses and Joshua generation, those who meditate on My Word day and night, they will find good success and make their way prosperous then.  Relying on My Word, these warriors of faith will be sensitive to My spirit and know which way to go even in the midst of uncharted storms of life.  They will be able to lead those who are yielded and submissive to My will.  I will stop the hardhearted and stiff-necks from linking with My willing ones, there will be a separation, to make their labor for the Kingdom easier.  Some of the leaders that I Am calling from the midst have been in little known areas, yet that is where they have let the purifying work of My Spirit set them apart.  The time of the great delusion, where many will believe a lie has intensified.  My warning and the alarm cry has gone forth throughout the land, and has been repeated for all that have ears to hear.  I will have a remnant of believers that have been tried and proven to be gold, pure gold.  My Word is the only thing that can not change, under any and every condition, it remains the same.  I will most certainly deliver My own who cry night and day as they stand on My Word.  When I come will I find faith on the earth? 
     [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, so that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire.  [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed. (1 Peter 1:6-7)

Good Morning,
     I have called many of you to step out into the deep and for many the door is opened wide through worshiping Me.  For you have never truly searched the depth of Me.  That is why, you must keep dipping into the Well of Life.  There is more to Me than you could ever understand or even begin to see.  Even as you dig into My Word, the depths that are there can not be searched out through your one time of trying, through your one time of stretching out, it is by your continual pursuant.  So, I say to you this day, step out into the deep.  Let go of your inhibitions, let go of all your thought processes and the reasonings of your mind, for they are contrary to the things of the Spirit.  If you would just begin to let go of yourself, your own ideas about who you are, and die more, daily to yourself, you would begin to see how unfathomable I Am, yes the lengths and the breadth and the heights of Me.  I Am more than your mind and your eyes can perceive, or comprehend, yet I have given you My Spirit, to start your search.  So, I say unto you this morning, let go, for as you do you will begin to get a hold of Me.  As you begin to grasp more of Me, you will begin to walk into the deep, unsearchable riches of the realm of My Spirit, insights and abilities that I have ordained before the foundations of the world.  There are many that are letting go of 'self', and they are beginning to see more of Me, see me as I really am.  I Am God, that is more than enough, a Father that will stick with you through the thick and through the thin, a God that is sufficient for all your needs.  I Am He, and if you will begin to let go, you will find that everything that you need has already been provided in Me.  So let go this day and wake up and see who I really am.
     Do not be deceived by looking around and measuring yourself by others and gauging the depth of who you are by others.  Neither think just because you have memorized my Word that you have a claim to something in this life, more is needed than just memorizing my Word, it is walking it out by doing My Word.  It must be your lifestyle, it is going through the valley and finding Me there, it is climbing the mountains and knowing that you would not be able to make it, except for the fact that I Am there.  It is realizing that every thing that you have, and, even every thing that you think you got by your great strength, came through Me. 
     Now, if you would abandon every thing that hinders or ensnares you, I will see to it, says the Spirit of grace and mercy, that you will walk free from it this day.  There is no chain, there is no bondage, there is no problem, and  there is no curse that is too dense for My grace and My mercy.  If you would lay it down you will find out that there is a liberty in Me that you have never experienced.  I stand at the altar, I stand as the God who will accept all sacrifices that you offer.  As you lay your life down afresh and anew, the weight and the sin, the very thing that so easily besets you, that entangles your mind and heart and impedes your steps, that I have ordered, I will come beside you, aid you and assist you and see to it that you will not fail.  I will see to it that every step you take will be enlarged and you will grow stronger.  This is the day of liberty for My children.  This is the day that My children will be bold, and they will say, "Who can be against me?"  So there is nothing says the Spirit of grace and mercy that can contend with My power that I have placed on the inside of you.  So be free in Me and you will see that there is nothing to hard for Me, and you in Me. 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
      This is a prophetic word that was given to our church two Sundays ago.
       I have called aside a mighty, mighty army into preparation, and I Am seeing to it that everything necessary is being given unto them.  For I’ve already given them everything that pertains to life and godliness, but now there is an awakening to it.  There is an acknowledging of all that I have laid at their disposal and they will pick it up and they will march whole-heartily, every one in single file. They will see to it saith the Spirit of grace and mercy, that they begin to snatch the souls from hell’s fire.  This is their commission for this final hour.  It’s not about dress, it’s not about the love of things, but it’s about the Kingdom. Now every man and woman of God will begin to recognize My heart,and the longings of their heart will line up with Mine and then saith the Lord, great and mighty exploits shall they do. They will march over the territory that the enemy tried to take, and they’re taking it back for the Kingdom. They are taking souls back and leading some back home, they are doing the work in this hour.  This is the Kingdom and this is the people of the Kingdom.  They are mighty warriors and they are unafraid of the enemy!
     Where the devil thought he had you afraid, all of a sudden such power and boldness will arise from the Spirit of God on the inside of you. You will begin to do the greater works, and acts and wonders that you never thought you were able to do. It is because you are surrendered and have submitted you heart, wholly to me.  Now I can move through you, now I can do through you what needs to be done in this season.  All glory, praise, and adoration will come unto Me from all My children, all My holy bride will turn to me in adoration and say, “Father to you be the glory!"  This is the season, saith the Spirit of grace and mercy, that My children are lining up with Me and many mighty works shall we do. Many shall come because of the works, but many shall be lost but it will not be because you were not faithful.  It will be because they chose the way of this world. Because of your faithfulness there are rewards laid up for you and many of your rewards will be known and seen in this time, while on this earth. Greater rewards shall come to you as you take your place in glory.  So get ready, says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  Get ready for the time anticipated, what We have waited for!  It’s coming!  Get ready, for the closing of the curtain.  For this is that time, so prepare yourself, and stay prepared and stay ready, saith the Lord.  For this is our finest hour!
     "And I will shake all nations and the desire and the precious things of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine, says the Lord of hosts.  The latter glory of this house [with its successor, to which Jesus came] shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts; and in this place will I give peace and prosperity, says the Lord of hosts". (Hagg.2:7-9)  "Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come".(Ps. 102:13)

Good morning,
     The Spirit of the Lord says;
          Know that as the judgment comes upon the world at this time, many of my children who have believed me will have a blanket of my glory over them.  They will walk in a new realm one that is not familiar to them, but it is familiar to Me, and Holy Spirit.  You will have to lean your whole human personality on Me, waiting for My voice to direct your steps.  I know the way, and I Am bringing you into a large place, but remember that the enemy will pull out everything to try and discourage and tie you up from seeing and hearing My ways.  You must also be aware that many who have not followed me whole- heartily will begin to despise My ways and My Word.  This is the process that begins as wheat will be set apart from tares and the sheep will be separated from the goats.  Take courage My dear ones, I will strengthen you and will protect your heart from being torn apart.  To keep you from being deceived.  It is coming closer than when you first believed, so all things are being set in proper order.  Know that the remnant has been crying out, "even so come quickly!"  My glory will keep you and preserve you at this time.  It will be the reason that you will experience a season of ease concerning  prosperity, while those on the outside in the land of Goshen where judgment will rain down, will experience confusion.  Because all of their gods will abandon them.  It will be the signpost that shows where their hearts have been all along.  So, you, my beloved, should be the kind of people that are drawing closer and being holy.  All who truly believe will keep walking and requiring of Me and they will experience the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, and the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.  This generation will break off the shackles of years of religion and will refuse to come under the seducing spirit of slumber, that has caused the majority of the church to be cold and callous concerning the call and their fist love, Me.  These are the ones who at one time led the way to My house and now they stagger in under the weight of the world and the giddiness of their active lives, that they live separated from My glory.  Once again, stay alert and shake yourself from the haze of the end-times, while I shake the nations and all precious things will come into My house under My glory! 
     "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee". (Is.60:1-2)

Good morning,

Today I would like to share an exciting Word from the Lord. It will help us as we begin this new year.     

The Spirit of the Lord says;           

     Keep your eyes open, I Am doing things suddenly. This is a new cycle of my glory and everyone who has sought me will see Me in extraordinary ways. This is the time where the plowman shall overtake the reaper. Every seed that you have sown will come forth unto harvest. It will be for some 30, 60, for others it will be a hundredfold return. It will be as upon waves, one wave will roll in, and another will prepare to come in. You will receive the very best from your seeds sown. Many will rise up to give into your bosom. For your faithfulness and your dedication has not gone unnoticed. I am the Lord of the harvest, I never forget. You have watched others bring in their harvest and you have rejoiced with them for the good that I have given them. Because of the purity of your heart and the intents and motives of your soul, I will press down and shake together and pour you out a blessing that you will in turn sow into others field's that will set you up for the storms that will blow up ahead. Your giving, even in times of famine has come up to Me as a memorial. Your sweet fragrance of obedience has captured My heart. The seeds of obedience have put you ahead of the times that will soon come over the whole earth, a time when all creation will travail under the weight and heaviness of sin. You have been in the place of preparation, not only by your consistent giving, and, of all that has been put in your charge, but also by your desire to know Me in a more personal and committed way. Because of this longing of your heart and the pursuit of that longing, you have found the place of My power. Miracles, signs, wonders, and demonstrations of Holy Spirit will be evident in your life. When the enemy comes in, like a flood, I will lift up a standard of My power, by the creativity of My glory that will surround you as unto a shield. There will be many sudden changes in the atmosphere and in your personal life as well. Opportunities to give up or push forward will be presented to you, stay with My Word and you will see the right hand of My power is very demonstrative. My immeasurable favor will shine upon you now! You will shine forth in the darkest areas of life that I have placed you in, to raise others who have let 'things' dictate their outcome. You are My voice to all who 'wills' to be saved. Do not fear anything that man tries at this time to try and silence My goodness. I will not let one Word fall to the ground, it will accomplish a quick reward. I will frustrate the plans and dismantle them before the eyes of all who stand and come against you. Every devious and crafty plan of the wicked one will be aborted and exposed, because you have given Me the supremacy in your life. You always acknowledge that it is not by your might, or by your power, or any other, only by My Spirit!  

Love,

Pastor D.

Scripture References; "So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever."

Good morning,
 
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     As you walk in this year, you must govern your mouth and heart.  The words you speak are always creating something and it comes from the inner being, your heart.  The importance of renewing your mind, your thoughts and motives have always been the higher ground.  So pay strict attention to what you are allowing to permeate your thoughts, for it will come from your mouth and change the course of your life that was determined by Me.
     My great Army that I have been preparing for the end times have arisen with compassion, unselfish devotion, and holiness for my kingdom and My house.  Love, my love in their lives, show the maturity of my son and daughters.  To those who have grown up, there will be more resurrection power seen in their atmosphere and lives like never before.  Because they have loved me wholeheartedly they will see the promises fulfilled in this year that have never been fulfilled before now.  They will not prefer or desire the fleshpots of old, but their desire is to fulfill My plans, which will bring my children closer to heaven and its ways.  There will be a unique quality about those who have chosen and have preferred Me and My ways above all others.  My anointing will set them apart, and this same anointing will draw others that are at the point of salvation and all that are in need of deliverance.  This anointing will cause them to soar higher and higher to new elevations that they are unfamiliar with, which will cause them to lean on me even more.  This elevation will cause them to stay above the chaos and confusion that others will succumb to because of the choices that they have made.  This will also alert the enemy, he will try to harm them, but not be able to destroy them, for they have chosen Me and made Me their hiding place.  He will soon discover that what he thought was a set back was for them was actually a set up!  Choose wisely now in every area of your life.  Acknowledge me and all of your ways and I will direct your path.  The set time has come to all, and all must choose wisely.  My counsel will bring you forth and you will not miss your delivery time.  No more abortions, no more miscarriages, pressing on to live births.

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     As the new year begins I would like to forget all that is behind and press towards the mark of the prize of the high calling.  I was prepared to share with you a few words that was spoken to our church on our prayer night, but as I sit here in the quiet of my room, I feel compelled to say what was given to me this morning.
Hear the Spirit of the Lord;
     I require greatness from each of My children, but pay attention to My voice; Greatness is serving Me and My Kingdom, waiting at the gate to obey My Words.  It is delighting to do what I have said in My Word.  It is serving your brothers and sisters in My house.  It is not as the world sees greatness.  Every time you give of all that I have given you, to really serve another, selflessly, that is when I Am glorified.  A change of heart and mind is necessary in order for you to live your life in real prosperity.  For as you die to your self, that is when you will truly live the life that I will make center-stage.  Many desire greatness, but miss the mark in My House!  Know that I Am looking within to find the pure in heart.  I will join with you in your efforts to be more like Me.  For I sent My Son as as a servant to all in order that many more servants would be born.  He gave His life in order to cause many more to really live!  This year begin to walk out one of My secrets revealed; in order to be great, you must be a servant.  You will find those things that have evaded you up until now will begin to be attracted to you.  You will begin to notice that it is not so hard to prosper in every area of your life.  To those with this purity of heart and a genuine motive to minister or wait upon Me and those in the Kingdom, revelation will abound.  It has always been this way.  In order to gain your soul, you must lose it, in order to receive you must give, this is the way I operate, and the way My children move and grow in the Kingdom.  Abundance in the midst of lack is what I do best, for the Kingdom is greater than the world's system, it cannot be stopped.  So, make up in your heart and soul to be great by serving, and you will rise above all that is formed against you this year and for all times.  What others consider small, I see as great, and My vision is perfect, Renew your mind to the way that I think, and you will see through My eyes and then you will understand the joy in serving.
     Even as I write this there is a depth of meaning here.  True prosperity is having whatever is needed to meet the situation or circumstance.  As we wait on God, or serve Him this year I believe according to His Word we will have whatever is necessary to meet the need that others have, whether, it is physical, mental, financial, and most of all spiritual.  Go and be great this year!  Here are the verses that I was directed to meditate on.  "So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them.  But among you it will be different.  Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else.  For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:42-45)  "I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.  So let those [of us] who are spiritually mature and full-grown have this mind and hold these convictions; and if in any respect you have a different attitude of mind, God will make that clear to you also.  Only let us hold true to what we have already attained and walk and order our lives by that." (Phil. 3:13-16) Onward and upward!

Good morning,
    During the Christmas season, this one line was heard over and over again,"this doesn't feel like Christmas".  God was speaking to me continually on this, and here is what was given:
     Do not allow your feelings to lead or guide you.  Now you must live by faith, which is not feeling based.  Here is where you must lean your entire personality over on Me and keep your hand and your eyes on Me.  Decisions made now centered on your feelings will surely end in ruin and disaster.  Hear My voice clearly and watch My steps also.  Know Me and My Word, for those who once followed Me and did not truly love Me will find it difficult to hold on.  So it may seem as if you are walking alone, but remember I always have many that have not bowed their knee to the god of this world.  I am restoring joy and strength to many that stood through the difficult tests and trials, those who have endured hardness as My soldiers will shine forth as a great city of light.  Instead of failing, they have learned how to overcome by the blood and the Word of their testimony.  When tested, tempted, and tried they withstood the enemy's beguiling voice of deceit.  As in any war, it is the front-liner's who are assaulted the most.  Yet, when they outlast all attacks, they receive the greatest reward and spoils.  Rewards of honor and valor, things that distinguish them from all others who march alongside them.
     Do not let the tactics of the wicked one cause you to become offended, for many of your loved ones may lend their members to offend in this season.  Many who oppose Me may be found in your own household, these are signs of the times and of My soon return.  You must keep on walking to higher places in Me.  Run with those who are running to win, not those who have let the love of this world's system overtake their love for Me.  Remember I have foretold you that people would be lovers of themselves, haters of those who do good.  So you must subdue your feelings, for the enemy desires for you to make strategic moves based only on what you feel.  You must realize that these choices would cause chaos in your life.  Now is when you must pursue the enemy with the Word, war with the promises that I have given unto you.  My Word will stand through it all, every violent attack against you was sent as a missile to bring you down.  I expect My warriors to rise with the weapons of warfare that I have placed at your disposal.  They are mighty to bring you through to victory!  Stay safe underneath the shadow of My wings!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,
     Dearly beloved, now is the time for all that have been hurt, wounded, standing and going through.  Now is the time for you to run under the shade of the arm of your beloved.  You have been fighting what seems like an unusual strong tide of demonic activity.  Realize that the closer that heaven touches earth and the glory showers comes with greater intensity, so does the enemy imitate what I do.  He tries to intensify in wickedness and in evil activity, but remember I have given to you all power over and above his.  Always keep in your heart that you, My dear ones will excel in greater strength, sharper vision, greater sensitivity to Holy Spirit, and more persuaded to run the race.  Every tear that you cry out to Me is heard and kept in a bottle, where they are added to your many prayers and are poured out over all of the seeds that you have sown in the Kingdom by love.  Do not let anyone or anything pluck up what I grown in My garden, you bring forth the sweetest aroma my dearest.  You must keep moving forward by taking steps daily that I have laid out for you.  Do not stop in your advancing, you will find that you recover readily, it is an ability that I have given to you.  You know that My desire is for you to receive the Kingdom that I have freely given, to all that love Me and keep my commands.  You are the apple of My eye and I delight to attend to you and give to you the best and the highest.  Keep running the race that I have set before you, keep moving forward!  Run to obtain the prize.
     Being strong in Me does not mean being without feelings.  Feelings do not control you, yet you are to be sensitive and full of compassion for all in My house that are running alongside you.  Also, consider all those who may have fallen and need your compassion and strength to encourage them to stand.  Be a beacon of light for Me.  Keep in mind that after standing, you are to continue standing in the power of My might.  It is My ability that you can rely on.  It is the only way that you will withstand in the evil days.  I will not let you fall, rest and learn to lean on Me.  I will bring you with ease to the next level of destiny.  The best is yet to be seen!
 
Love,

Pastor D.
