Good Morning,
  
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     I desire a close relationship and partnership with you, one where you lean upon My strength to carry you through.  I have told you that My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  I lighten your load when you choose to cast every care on Me.  Don't allow the cares and worries to shift the weight over on your shoulders, otherwise you would tire out and become exhausted.  I will adjust the weight, so that you may bear it and come out with the victory over them.  I Am well able to carry what you can't.  We must stay in harmony, step by step, you can not be found dragging behind or racing ahead of Me.  Do not be frustrated with life, but rather choose My effectiveness, you will find less struggle, and in so doing you will not be self-sufficient but God dependent.  If you operate under feeling self-sufficient, you then become prideful and will be easily deceived by our enemy.  His desire is for you to be weary of waiting for My help.  He wants you to turn again to your own arm of the flesh, and to be under your own strength.  I Am faithful to you and My Word, I will keep you, as I have in times past and proven Myself trustworthy.  I will not let you down now in your hour of need.  Will you not trust Me now in this new testing and trouble?  For I will cause you to ride upon new heights and will restore to you all that has been lost or seemingly destroyed.   You know Me, I Am the arms that you can lean upon, do not lean on your understanding, it will not hold you.  My care for you at times of testing are greater by far than you will ever know.  You may not understand at this moment what it is that I Am working out for you, but I Am always ahead of you in preparation.  I require you to pull from My grace daily and when it seems darkest, to remember that My Light never goes out.  My Light keeps the dark from overtaking you.  I Am there with you, whispering words of love and healing.  You will experience for yourself My deep intensive care for that I shower on those who have been in a furnace of affliction.
     Trust Me even now, cast down the strongholds of anxiety, worry, despair, discouragement, and doubt.  Rehearse My Word over your life, knowing that I will supply your every need.  Stop the lies and question of the enemy, that tries to make you not rely on your only Hope.  I want you to be free, not encumbered by so many things that hinder your ears from hearing Me, and entangle your mind with webs of deceit and untruths.  Don't stand aloof and back off from Me, you must come close so that I can minister to you in a greater degree.  I will revive you and restore the joy of your salvation!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     My Body has come to a place where there must be a willingness to lay down on the threshing floor.  For many of My children have drifted far off course, they have become worldly, only seeing the temporal existence as the greatest glory.  They have forgotten that the glory that I have makes everything temporal and worldly look so minuscule.  My Church must know Me and become more intimate with Who I Am, not only with what I give.  People that are ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth will be easily led astray by the craftiness of the enemy.  My true Bride desires to have the axe laid to the root of the issues of the heart and to have a powerful winnowing fan to blow away all that does not bring My Name glory.  They are going deeper, going beyond only asking Me for the comforts of their soul, they are seeking My Kingdom ways.  Do you not understand that it is My way that will prevail, so it is My way that must be sought after.  
     I Am shaking My people out of complacency, false comfortability, familiarity, compromise, slothfulness, and half-hearted commitment.  My Church is done with empty religious exercises that make for a weak copy of the genuine power and authority that they should be walking in.  They are crying out for an authentic cleansing, versus, only having things heaped upon them.  They are about doing their Father's business, contrary to getting their way.  They know Me well enough to know that I will supply every need according to My riches in glory.  They are spending this valuable time to prepare, by accumulating oil for the season ahead, where they will be able to walk in the light at all times.  They are not letting lukewarmness or spiritual apathy lurk in their heart.  My true Bride will not allow pride, stubbornness, or self-righteousness to keep them from My wind of change.  I have not finished My shaking, but My shaking is for the good of those who love Me.  I Am perfecting all that I started in My Church. 
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     My dear children, your dependence must be on Me now more than ever before. You can no longer walk carelessly nor be brazen enough to continue to travel on your own path.  You have never known what tomorrow holds but I do, I have always known, nothing takes Me unawares.  As you walk closely, I will make you more sensitive to your tomorrows.  Now those who are spiritually mature will need to lean upon Me for support as well as spiritual infants, recognizing that it is My proving grounds to bring the quality of a sharper walk with Me.  Your growth is connected to these testing and proving grounds.  Always remember that I have gone ahead of you to assure that your steps are sure, and also that I shadow you, I am your rear guard, to protect you from any onslaught.  I Am perfecting you.
     Nothing is more needful in this hour as watchmen than to pray in harmony with Me, with what I Am doing now.  Lift up your voice watchmen, don't be caught wasting time on old traditional prayers, Holy Spirit is the guide, He knows what We are up to and how to bring you there.  We are one!  Here is where the enemy can not interfere with your assault nor comprehend the power that is available to all believers that pray in faith.  But what the enemy wants to do is silence your voice in prayer, for he knows fully well that there is the ability to destroy his schemes and traps.  He tries to discourage you from lifting your voice to Me in prayer, do not be deceived.  Under the direction of Holy Spirit you begin to call forth the mysteries and connect with all of My aid and assistance that is needed to bring you out.  As you pray, you are being built up, not staying under the pressure of testings, bur pressing against the force.  You must not allow any human experience of adversity, tests, trials, no matter how it comes, change your divine relationship with Me.  Don't just talk about prayer, or even think prayer, do pray, passionately and zealously!  Remember My Word, those who sow in tears will reap in joy, and weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.  Know that your harvest will come in the morning.  I have your times in My hands, and I never forget what you have done in My name.  Keep your eyes on My eternal promises, there is a harvest of joy that awaits you, do not faint or relax your hold!
 
Love,

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     I am calling my children to a higher place in Me, far above all principalities and all powers of this world.  This place can only be attained by pure worship, a heart that is focused on Me.  As you worship in Spirit and in Truth, you will begin to be enlightened concerning the times and seasons.  Information, ideas, strategies and plans that will catapult you into My purposes, will be revealed only as you become more intimate through My Spirit.  That is why I have brought My Church, My true Church to the place where change is necessary to step into the higher places with Me.  My people must put a stop to all ungodliness, all religion, all low life earthiness, living by the dictates of the flesh.  I have heard and Am hearkening to the sincere cry of My children to really know Me.  Just know that this fresh encounter with Me requires a change of course in you.  This will be accomplished as you are surrendered.  It will not only come from what you say with your mouth or through much crying, but through a brokenness of your heart.  There is arising within an insatiable desire to be pleasing to Me by simple obedience.  Then as the world around you experiences a series of convulsions and shakings, you too will experience from within yourselves, the same degree of shaking and convulsions in order to rearrange your life according to My purpose.  I Am shaking out of you all strongholds of the flesh, religion, and all ungodliness.
     Once again, My Church will be known as the House of Prayer, and My children will no longer be ashamed to be called holy.  You will be proud to be My royal priests, My holy nation, My chosen generation, and a peculiar people that are called apart and separated.  No longer will you try to assimilate in order to be acceptable to this world.  With joy and gladness you will speak of Our great assignment, to seek and to save those who are lost.  Rejoice in your uniqueness, to finish Our purpose.  I Am coming, no matter what others think, I Am coming!
 
Love,

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
       
     I come quickly, so you must hold fast to what you have in Me.  Let no one and nothing rob you or deprive you of your crown.  For My Church must be overcoming and My Bride is heavenly.  I have not chosen a bride from Egypt, but one risen from the ashes of the old and now is a new resurrected Bride.  One that has decided to make My home hers.  This is a called apart and set apart nation.  A holy and royal priesthood that continues to look beyond the temporal and keep their mind on the eternal.  In that day when I gather My own, all that you have done in My Name and all that I have recorded in your name shall unfold.  Your faithfulness shall be rewarded greatly, and it shall be your testimony.  But, dear ones this is not the season for looking at the temporal, the circumstances that presently surround you.  For your suddenly shall come in a moment and all that you see now will be in your history.  The only thing that is stable during all seasons is My Word, it never changes.  It is your compass and guide during transitions, changes, storms and times of trouble.
     As I prepare My Bride, I will purge her with My prophetic rain of power in teachings and in  demonstrations with peculiar signs and wonders.  This will be My Wonder, as you begin to move in new realms of manifestations of faith, as you come out of lethargic and inactive ways.  Those who spend time in the secret place with Me I will give to them a new sense of perspective.  In order that your future will be as clear in view as the past.  You will see these fleeting things from My point of view.  You will know that I Am not only preserving you but I Am also perfecting you.  I know that you live within the confines of time, yet I Am.  I Am neither limited or bound by time, I Am infinite and eternal.  I Am using this season to reorganize thoughts of confusion and fortify what I have built in you.  You must have a 'different spirit', a different attitude of mind in order to posses the territory at this time.  You can not conquer with the old mindset.  You must remember that the 'giants' in the land are nothing but grasshoppers to Me, and that I Am a Warrior.  I will fulfill My good Word to My true Bride in due time.  I Am your Lord and I change not!
 
Love,

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     It is now the time of an intensified fruit-bearing, or when the seeds you have sown will be easily seen in your lives.  All who have sown seeds of righteousness, love, and faith will be able to reap a good harvest.  Also, those who have sown seeds of selfishness, disobedience, and unrighteousness will eat the fruit faster than ever before.  The plowman is about to overtake the reaper.  So, be diligent to tend your field and mind what you are sowing in it.  For I desire gardens that overflow with My right doing.   Many have detoured from doing what is right because they have become weary and discouraged, because of not seeing instant results.  To everything there is a season and a purpose and a time.  My time has come for rapid growth.
     I have allowed the wheat and the tares to grow together.  Look and see for yourself, and ask, 'how much wheat have I produced and how much is wild weeds?'  It is time for you to repent of those seeds sown from your own way and your own mind, and clear your garden of the tares.  Sow only wheat that comes from My Word, for that is what will endure.  It is only true wheat that will be gathered to My heart, while all else will be burned.  Remember it is the enemy that sneaks in unawares, and sow tares in the midst of the wheat.   Lies and deception among My Truth.  While you may think that everything growing in you is acceptable wheat, the deceiver knows that this kind of leaven will make the whole lump undesirable for Kingdom purposes.  Deception has come into My people's heart and by believing a lie it causes even the elect to be swayed, because of veering from the Truth.   Your hope must be founded on My Word, which is the only genuine light to reveal the web of deceit.  My good has been evilly spoken of and many of My children can not discern between good and evil any longer.  Do not be dull of hearing!  Lies and deception are trying to intermingle with My Word and bringing forth heresy of the darkest kind.  Be warned, but not alarmed, just turn up the light.
     Magnify your ability to look right on.  Do not look to the right or to the left, keep your eyes on Our goal.  Soldiers that once marched with the righteous on the narrow way have defected.  Perverting their way and encouraging others that have become weak-minded to follow them.  This is when the prayers of the righteous avails much, for you will be snatching some from the fire.  Keep a single-vision, you will see that My light will brighten your steps.  There will be few that will find it and choose to stay there, but you will never be alone there.  Your steps will be brighter and brighter as you walk towards Our greatest days.  Stay deeply rooted in My Word and in your garden you will produce only wheat.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;

     This is the moment that we have been preparing for.  I have placed My men and women strategically as carriers of My fire of the times.  While the enemy's time is culminating, and knowing that it is, he is using every ounce of his power to try to assault My mighty fire-carriers.  My children of valor and integrity that I have anointed to receive all of the fullness of the time, have been purged by this fire.  It seems as if hell itself has unleashed upon them, because of their commitment, but I have lifted up My holy standard that has a great damming effect upon the works of the enemy.  Some are having a difficult time because I have called them to this high calling, yet they are compromising for the temporal, yet not realizing that the enemy knows that their is a distinct difference in their lives.  Many are still letting their flesh rule, and they are torn between total submission to My will and the mechanics of the flesh.  Do you not know that My way is the only way to the high ground of protection and preservation?
     Also, many that I have anointed to preach and teach My Word, still yield to their flesh allowing the soulish realm to hinder the realms that I have opened for all of my children to walk in and be victorious in through persecutions and troubles.  Many look at these men and women as 'preaching' machines, not discerning that they are no longer flowing with Holy Spirit.  It is a heart that is consecrated and dedicated to Me and the Kingdom that I need, not ideas born from human reasoning or understanding.  In order to know in this hour My movements, you must be sensitive to Holy Spirit.  As you begin to repent from trying to go on in your own might, you will find the help from on High, that is most necessary.  No more 'sounding brass or tinkling cymbals', it is noise to My ears.  For the Words that I speak, they are spirit and they are life.  This life comes from My heart and can only be achieved by a continued flow from My heart to your surrendered heart.  From this connection will come a boldness and fearlessness, you will no longer be intimidated by the enemy.
     Now, you must be willing to abandon your comfort zones in order to flow with Me to the next zone.  It may not be familiar to you, but there is no place that I have not been.  I will take you there and help you to assimilate in this new territory.  Do not resist the change.  For many in times past have resisted what they thought was a 'new' thing and perceived that it wasn't Me.  They did not understand that it was not new to me, only to them.  They failed to shift and became stagnant.  Stay hungry and thirsty for more of Me.  As you stay that way you will have to continue to die to self, so that My life may come forth through you.  No matter what happens on the earth, great things are ahead for My submitted ones, even in the midst of all that is seen!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit Declares;
     All who are sensitive to Me and Holy Spirit knows that harvest time is drawing near.  I have allowed the wheat and the tare to continue to grow together until they are ripe to maturity.  The enemy has done his job to deviously slip in My fields and plant tares, it will not stunt the maturity of the genuine wheat.  The false doctrine and false teaching has been uttered with all that is whole and sound.  Side by side lies have been uttered with truth, the true wheat has discerned between what is holy and that which is unholy.  My Word, rightly divided by those of a pure heart and those longing to walk with Me, will remain.  Prayer forms a shield upon the wheat to keep them firmly rooted to My Word without pulling them out when their roots are growing so strongly.  At the same time, prayer, kills and weakens the tares causing many of them to lose hold of the ground of the fields that they have been sown in.  Soon I will call for the tares to be bundled and burned, for My justice demands the end-time separation.  Tares are consumed with the need of friendship and acceptability with the world.   While My maturing wheat knows deep within when the enemy has twisted My Word to accommodate continued confusion and sin, and adultery with the world.  Many false teachers and prophets have twisted My Word to promote their own agenda, by doing so they have lead many that were easily led, astray.  You are genuine wheat when you love Me and my Word.  This keeps you on the strait and narrow path, but the true Way.  Be patient therefore, My children, unto My coming.  I am the farmer of the field and I look and wait for My precious harvest.  I Am giving to you now both the former and the latter rain to moisten and stay revived.  Sensitive to the Lover of your soul.
     This rain is given to give to you more grace, so that you may begin to look deeper inside and appreciate what I Am doing within.  In the places of obscurity, in those unseen places hidden from human eyes, I have been making fuller and richer produce in you.  Many of you are ripe and ready to be squeezed for your destiny in Me.  You are My watered garden, I take care of all that is Mine.  Even now when you seem to be barren, I Am still causing you to produce beyond your own ability, it is now My grace, abounding.  So now I implore you to look beyond the temporal and keep your eyes on the eternal.  It is as you are heavenly minded that then your prayers are extended toward the lost generation, your giving is towards those who can not bring you gain, and your loving is unselfish, more like Mine.  My wheat is then truly rooted to all that matters and that is the Kingdom, not the temporary things of earth.  That is when you will see your greatest potential, when you die to your self, then you will really begin to live in Me.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
The Spirit of the Lord says;
     We are nearing the last leg of Our time here on this side of earth.  Even now I have spread the curtain open in order that you may see more of My glory.  I Am now opening revelations to you that have been closed, because of the times that We are in.  For all that love Me and My kingdom in the end-time Church age, I am entrusting to you the power of the ages.  You have only been on the fringes of all that I have for you.  Now, because this enemy of Ours has unleashed all evils, I Am releasing to My children revelation power and abilities.  With intensity, the gifts of Holy Spirit will flow like a refreshing river to all that have experienced a 'dry time'.  As the pressures of this age grows darker month by month, so the glory of My Presence will grow in power and in revelation.  All who have loved My Presence more than they have loved their own desires, or their own dreams, and more than their ministries, will I reveal Myself in a more powerful way.  Gifts of Holy spirit will bring forth many miracles, signs, and wonders, and extraordinary gifts of faith.
     I have warned My people many years ahead of the times that would come to try men on the earth, yet I reminded My children that they would be kept from the harshness of this judgment.   This is not My wrath, this is judgment for all who would rebel and reject Me and My Word.  I Am Abba, a loving Father, I do not abuse My children.  I hover over My own to protect them from anything that would try to destroy.  I also allow you to walk through those things that may strike fear in you, in order for you to learn that there is no place that you can go, that I will not be there to keep and preserve you.  I want you to know for yourself that there is no need to fear, with Me on your side.  So now, I Am still waiting for the remnant to pull away from the stained cloth of this world, and the system that has become an idol god to many, even some that call Me their God.  My remnant has yearned for My appearance and still looks with longing for Me.  They are buying up every opportunity to save some souls, for they are always Kingdom minded.  Now the process of remaining pure is not easy.  The fires have been allowed to burn for great purification, so that you might be holy for the Kingdom, and Our business.  Our values and worth far outweighs any temporary hardship, or, temporary pleasure.  You must discard all that hold little or no Kingdom value.  This season will pass and you will see when all clears that you will stand up with more than you had when this all started.  Keep your hands and your eyes on Me, I will uphold you and sustain you.  I Am bringing forth the gold and silver from My great treasuries.  You are My special and unique treasure, My glorious beauty.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
Hear the spirit of the Lord;
     A greater anointing awaits all that put their trust in My ability to cause change in them.  The wine will be fresher and more potent that will flow from My House, for I have kept the best for last.  You will arise from the state that you were in for your transitioning.  In your new position, you will spread out as a mighty oak tree, to provide a covering for others that I have placed in your circle, to show them the same compassion and mercy that I have given to you.  I have lifted you up so that you may be the butler, the preparer of the way for others.  Just as I did for Joseph.  I sent the butler ahead of Joseph in order to open a door for My servant.  Many of My children I have placed strategically in divine placement at this 'time of troubling', to be a door for My prophets, My ministers, and My little ones.  It wasn't your wisdom or abilities that put you there.  You were sent ahead for My reasons.  It was not happenstance, nor 'who you knew', it was because I needed you to do your part.  I have always raised up My children to do their part for the Kingdom, each person's function I have ordained.  When My people cried out for My help, I raised up judges, kings, prophets, and deliverers, at just the right time.  Every ones function is significant to the whole Body of Christ, and each one must be in the correct place, in order to move with agility and with power.  No one can afford to be in the wrong place any longer.  My wisdom is vital at this time.  I will give it to you as you seek and ask for it.  It is My design and plan that will succeed.  We have looked forward to the time that My children would line up with My plan, desiring to see My kingdom come and a longing to fulfill their calling.  It is that time!
     As you see businesses, churches, families, and nations that are going through 'troubling times', there will be a remnant that will stand out.  It will be those who have been in that state of preparation, to be positioned for Me, by Me.  My children have lamented over the missed opportunities, but now they are more sensitive and discerning to My Voice and My ways.  I go before you to make your way clear, so follow Me closely.  As you stick to Me, you will find abilities and capabilities to be able to maneuver on the most confining and inflexible road.  We will perform fully every detail needed to bring all things to completion.  Now stay alert and charge up your prayer lives, declaring boldly My promises for the times of troubles.  This is not the time to sleep, but wake up to prayer.  Wake up watchmen, wake up righteous ones, hear the call to be on alert.  Ask for the Godly way and you will travel My path that I established for you.  I Am your Deliverer and your Provider and I have already gone ahead to give you safe passage to your proper place of position.
 
Love,

Pastor D.
