Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     I, the Lord rule by My might forever, I will observe and keep watch over My people and the nations as well.  I will arise and cause all of My enemies to be scattered.  So, be bold during the perilous times ahead, and I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.  Stay high in the Spirit, giving glory to Me.  Do not be afraid, let no fear enter your arena, stay in love with the Family.  Do not take offense nor give any.  Be quick to forgive and let others go.  As you do you will find that your health will spring forth speedily and your energy and mind will be refreshed, you will not faint or grow weary.

     Fear has torment, torment of your spirit, mind, body and soul.  You must magnify the soundness of mind that I have freely given you.  Know that in these times of testing, that you have being approved even as gold, then you will come forth victorious.  All those things that would have hindered you, I have been removing by the fire, so that you may be more like Me.  Do not be afraid, I have never forsaken you, nor given up on My purpose and plans for you, instead I have kept My plans in the forefront of your life.  No more back burner for My purposes, no more last resort.  It is time that the true lovers, stay in hot pursuit of real living, that can only be accomplished by dying daily and living in the plan.  Now in order for the new to come forth, you must let go of the past.  Forget it and press forward towards the plans that I have already established for you.  Learn to enjoy the steps toward your destiny.  Have great expectations of My working on your behalf.  Lean forward with fresh eagerness for what I Am doing!

     The day is coming that I will make a strong nation of the ones that have been cast off and rejected.  All of those that have been cut off at the legs and made to feel lame, I will compose a mighty remnant that none will be able to stand against.  Those who have felt like they were in a dry and barren land, I will make them an oasis for all to come and drink from the sweet waters that will flow from them.  I will repay double for all that seems to be hard to bear.  I keep the good and the best, ready and prepared for all who put their trust in Me and everlasting joy shall be part of your reward.

Good Morning,

     Today I'd like to share with you the word that the Lord spoke
to me this morning.  I know that this will minister to you as well for we
all are touched by the same kinds of tests and trials.  Be encouraged!

     In this season of life, do not allow
anyone to steal your dream.  I have continued to breathe life into your
dream so that you will continue to pursue it.  Never, never, let anyone
talk against the dream that I have rooted deep in your heart.  The enemy
strategically sends voices that will plant seeds of discouragement to
assault you.  Don't back down, these struggles indicate that you have
damaged the enemy's plans.  Every assignment that I give, causes the
enemy great discomfort and anguish, that is why he tries to distract you
with snares and deception.  But this is not the time for backing down,
no, this is the time for giving it all that I have placed in you.  Well,
you feel like you're at your end, and that something has died within
you, this is necessary in order for you to stretch out and push forth.  Think of it as the last leg of a race and you must stretch and give it
your all, in order to
cross the finish line.  I will help you to go past where you have become
stagnant in order to get to where I would have you now.  I will send
voices to speak encouragement to you, even to cheer you on.  So stretch,
so that you may see all that I promised to you
.

     I keep hearing God say to me, not to
quit, not to give up, but stretch and push.
  Stretch
means to extend or force beyond normal.  It means to burst forth, branch
out and to expand
Push
means to apply physical force, to advance, to assault,attack, to get up
and go with vigor and vitality.
 So, I would like to be one of
the voices that line up with the Lord and encourage you to stretch,
burst forth, branch out, expand, extend, and force yourself beyond the
normal limits and limitations.  Now push and apply yourself by advancing
and assault and attack the enemy, as you get up and go with vigor.  This
is not the time to slow up, but to push through and live the dream that
God has promised you.  He is faithful to that which He promised.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     I know that you are going through a
tough transition, yet I have not forsaken you.  This will open up for you a
large place, a place where you will begin to trust and lean on Me like
never before.  As you have shifted, you may think that you have lost
loved ones, positions, careers, and even ministries.  It is not over, I
Am working on something for you.  I have always had a good plan for you,
and it is My plan that will prevail.  I have seen the tears and the
heartaches, the times of feeling rejected, or cast away.  You were never
rejected by Me, no, never.  I have waited for you to turn all of your
affections and desires to Me.  I will be all that you need, but you must
renew your love for Me.  I will fulfill
the longings of your heart and heal your brokenness.  I will give you a
heart that thinks like Me.  You will then see that you have not really
lost anything, instead that you have gained more ground in Me.  As you
begin to shake yourself free from the cares of this world, you will
awake to see the new light that has arisen over the obscure places that
you have tread upon.  I will send men to help you and send you help from
on high. 

     Distractions of this age have tried to
occupy my children's thoughts.  They are lead astray by their thoughts.  I
have given you a sound mind, but you must keep your mind stayed on Me
in order to keep it sound.  Many are falling away from Me, because they
no longer spend the quiet moments with Me in worship.  They are careful
and busy about many things, so that from dawn until night their
thoughts are not towards me.  It is My peace that I have given to you in
the past that guards your thoughts and your emotions.  I say to you, to
be concerned about your true Love.  I Am the One.  Too many lovers make
you an unfaithful lover.  When was the last time that I was the only One
on your mind?  I Am a jealous lover, I will not have any other love
before Me.  Come back to Me with the simple, believing, love that you
once had, and I will receive you to Myself and
restore to you the joy that you had in serving Me.  If not you will miss
My next move, you will not be able to see, for your other lovers will
detain you and keep your eyes covered.  You must come to Me again as a
virgin love.  Depend on Me,
I Am trustworthy.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says,

     The refining process has intensified in, and, for My House.  I Am stirring the pot to cause to come to the surface all of the impure metals that have stayed in your heart, hidden from the cleansing power of My Word.  This process will begin to reveal to you those hidden and coveted issues of your own heart.  The reason is always to make you a vessel of purity, never to make you feel condemned, as some think and even say of Me and those who will boldly declare My truth.  The enemy is an expert at misinterpretation and cunning when it comes to using words to ensnare and lead astray.  As you well know, words can kill or they can give life.  Listen to My Words now, know that I Am shaking My House in order to separate the pure from the impure, the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats.  The great divide has begun, so now is the time for your life to resemble the holy standard that I alone  established.  Yes, I know those who are Mine, but you must know those who are Mine also.  Family should know their own family.  For by their fruit you will know them, do not be deceived by their great boasting words or their flamboyant displays of power.  My people will adhere to My Word, they will not try to twist My Words to accommodate their twisted lifestyle.  My people will live a holy life, not just make vague references to it.  Only follow those who follow My Word, for I have told you before that many false prophets and teachers are in the midst, leading and deceiving others to go astray off of the narrow way.  Teaching, and taking great pleasure in those who follow their examples, they are wolves in the flock.  This is the time for cleaving to the Lover of your soul and a time for great discerning, which can only come from intimate times spent with Me in the secret place.  You will see a great falling away of some who have known Me, but do not be dismayed, these things must come to pass.  I Am coming for a Church without spot or blemish.  Now, begins the purification for silver and gold, precious metals that endure great heat in order to become the purest.  Once the purification is done there is a small amount of the pure metal that is found.  I will have My holy remnant.  I will have a chaste Bride.  I will have a clean House.  You be holy even as I your God Am holy and perfect!  Keep looking to Me and you will see that My grace will make you become all that I have promised that you will be.  It is not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says your God and Lord.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;                                                                                                                                                    &nbs

     Rise up and clothe yourself with strength for the night is
far spent.  The day is near!
  It is time to
take inventory of what has been allowed in My temple.  You must have an
undivided heart, one that is loyal to Me and the Kingdom.  Put away all
that defiles and draws your attention away.  As you return to Me, I will
restore.  You know that you can not serve two masters and you can not
have two lovers.  I Am jealous over you, and I must have your undivided attention.  As
you arouse yourself up to the greatness of My love, you will be supplied
with My power and glory right in your midst.  As you come back to Me, I
will cause a new sense of liberation and freedom.  You will no longer be
earthbound.  You will begin to live and operate in a realm where the
things of this earth will no
longer be able to obstruct your movements in Me.  Watch your spirit
soar, and you will not be defiled by this world any longer.  You will
begin to value the things above more than the things of this earth.  You
will overwhelm the rulers of darkness, principalities, powers and
spiritual wickedness in high places.  They will shudder at your voice, for
your voice will be the same as Mine.  Now be done with small living,
small dreaming and small thinking, begin to enjoy the abundance
of all of Me.  Drink deep of Me and become a living, flowing river of b
lessing to every
dry land that you come to.

     I have never left you or abandoned you, for
I am always faithful.  Even in those times when you doubted Me, My love
and My promise, I remained faithful to Our covenant.  I can not change.  I
will do what I said I would do on your behalf, you must be faithful to
My Word and then stand and see great deliverance will run the course in
your life.  Bringing wholeness to every part of you, until there is
nothing missing or broken, for I Am the Lord that heals you.  Only keep
your hearts pure by loving and forgiving, continually washing by My Word
which removes impurities that would try to weaken you, physically,
mentally, or spiritually.  You will then be, the overcoming, victorious
church.  My Bride must be pure and holy, a heavenly Bride.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     My beloved, those who are weak and
have little strength, I Am increasing your might and power.  I know that
there were times that you felt as though all you had to hold onto was My
promises to you and your love for Me.  You thought that you had let Me
down, instead I Am well pleased with you, for you kept My name.  You did
not go in search of another lover, you remained faithful and true to Me. 
I know the motives and intents of your heart My true worshiper and I Am
delighted with you.  In those times of solitude and moments of despair
and encouragement, you began to bud and bloom, right there in the
desert places.  Like a river, I will begin to pour upon you in this
season a gentle anointing that will expand with each step you take.  So,
my beloved, in this stretch of quietness, and duration of obscurity,
know that I have not overlooked you.  Instead,
I have been refining and clarifying your purpose and calling.  You will
now sense a new joy bubbling up inside you and a new radiance will be
seen from you.  Your desires to draw closer to Me will be the propellant
for greater revelation and an open heaven over you.

     Comfort, you cry for comfort and peace.  I
Am your Comforter and your Peace.  In the midst of struggles, you must
learn to rest in Me, by keeping your mind stayed on those eternal things, not on temporal.  Shut the doors and all openings to the enemy,
by simple obedience to My Word.  You will find yourself in the hiding
place that I provide for all who fear Me.  There I will infuse you
with renewed hope.  The impossible will be possible to you, you will be
alive and abounding in the greater works of the Kingdom.  The process is
to bring you up higher and to produce greater fruit bearing.  Iron
is sharpening iron, making you strong and immovable through every
condition and environment.  This is just a preparational season to mature
you and to temper you.  Causing your face to be set like a flint.  This
is only the beginning of the awe-inspiring
you that I Am transforming.  So stay strong in order to be equipped to
persevere and be the fire in the days ahead.  Keep your eyes looking
right on and stay on the narrow way!

Good Morning,

     In prayer this morning, I was pulling down all kinds of
strongholds.  It seemed as if my mind was being bombarded with all kinds
of thoughts.  I begin to make these thoughts obey the Word of God.  The
commotion on the inside appeared to be louder than any noise that I've
ever heard from the outside.  It was then as I stilled my mind and heart
that I could see, hear, and know what the Spirit was trying to get me to
hearI made peace
the gatekeeper of my heart, right in the middle of the war of thoughts.  
This made me the victor in the war of thoughts.  Only then could I hear
what the Spirit was saying.  We can hear every moment of every day if we
practice keeping peace in us, even in the middle of the war.

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     The wind of confusion has been increased by
the enemy.  It is sent to keep a war in the soul of My
children.  For while they are distracted by fighting their own
war-thoughts, they will miss the real war that the enemy is trying to
succeed in.
  Each one of My children have
the ability to release the warrior that comes of Me, to be able to stop
the enemy of confusion in his tracks.  The whole earth is groaning under
the weight of sin, lies, deception and violence.  I will awaken the
judgment that my land deserves.  There will be an increase of earth
shaking and land rebelling, due to the rejection of Me and My Word.  Not
only have the nations rejected Me, but sadly there are those who have
called me Lord, that disregard My Word.  I Am a just and righteous God
and I have heard the cry
of the earth
and of My own children.  I will arise and answer!  I
will
repay to the nations of violence with more violence.  I will repay the
nations of deceit with multiplied deceptions.  The nations that have
known Me and have turned their backs on Me and have committed adultery
with false gods and gods of their own making will receive help from the
gods that they have placed their trust in.  Those who have lied to My
children in My house shall be exposed to the light of truth.  Yet, I will
give mercy to those who will humble themselves and repent and turn away
from their wicked ways.  Those who stubbornly resist My Word will be
judged by that very Word.  It is time to awaken to righteousness.

     To My children that have continued to run
on, even in the midst of all of these things that kept pressing in on
them, your rewards will be great.  You have learned how to fight the
fight of faith.  You sensed that everything was somehow out of order, yet
you kept your eyes on Me.  You were looking and listening to
 Me, waiting to see our next move.  You have reached a
new level of My glory in your life.  You have a sound mind, one that is
stable, intact and whole.  Therefore you will not withdraw or be moved,
but instead you will be secure, established and resolute as a mighty
warrior.  Wars are being released in the atmosphere, this will effect the
climate and comfort of all those around you.  You will see the results
in the natural as well as spiritual environment.  Everything that you
have gone through has been in preparation for you to be fully equipped
for any, and
every thing that will come.  You did not even know that you were well
able to stand, yet I have made you a force to be reckoned with.  Your
resistance against the enemy has made you much stronger and more
sensitive to Me.  Listen, there is a sound of rustling and wrestling
being heard in the realm of the Spirit.  Stay sharp as a instrument of
war.

Good
Morning
,

     The Spirit of the Lord says;

     I will rescue you for My own sake!  
Yes, for my sake I will do it, My reputation will not be tarnished.  I
will do as I have spoken.  You will know that you have not spent your
days serving Me in vain.  Trust Me for your reward, leave it all in My
hand.  At just the right time I will respond on your behalf.  I will fight
those who fight against you and retrieve your promised possessions.  You and I will begin to raise up highways above the valleys in your
life.  Even the most desolate places in your life will begin to blossom
as though watered by a living well.  This is the promised word for all
who have set their faces like a flint, and have determined to do My
will.  Even when it seemed like you were walking in darkness without a
ray of light your trust was in Me.  You did not rebel as others who once
walked with you.  Your reward is great!  I Am the Lord of justice
and you will reap a sound harvest for your seeds of faithfulness.  My
mercy and justice are on the way and will become a light to the nations.

     Listen, all that hope in
deliverance, consider the 'Rock' that you were cut from.  This same
strength of stability lies in you.  Once you've made your mind up for
Me, the Word and the Kingdom assignments given to you, you can be stable
and fixed.  Your Godliness
will lead you forward and the glory of your God will be your protection
from behind.  Only keep your eyes looking right on, for their are many
that are going astray, wandering from the path of righteousness.  They
have allowed the troubles to agitate them into moving from Me.  Slowly
turning into the broad way that leads to destruction and misery.  They
now rebel and deny My Word entrance into their heart and even their
light is dark around them.  Yet, I Am extending My mercy to them once
again, but you must run on.  The turning point is coming for all who have
stayed on the plain path.  I Am making peace your
leader and righteousness shall be your ruler.  Always work
enthusiastically for Me and know that your labor is never useless.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says;

As the smoke clears away from the
trying of My children, there will come forth a new people that is as
refined as gold.  They will have entered a place of rest, this is where I
have been bringing you to all along.  A place where My voice is more
distinct than all other voices that you have known.  From this place of
rest you will ascend to the highest places and be able to learn to dwell
there and from this place of great authority you will begin to bring
changes to the specific environment that I have divinely set you in. 
Your growth in this season and in this setting will be a supernatural
one.  You will be able to take what you have seen and heard from the
highest places and bring to earth the insight that you have tasted of,
and see miraculous results.  I know that many of you have struggled with
issues of the heart that have kept you from moving at an accelerated pace
with and in Me. 
That is about to change.  Many of you have continued by faith without
seeing the desired results, but because you have humbled yourself by
keeping to My Word, I Am will do marvelous acts on your
behalf.  First, you must cease from your own works, works that have not
been directed by My Word.  Next, be prepared to stand still and see my
salvation.  I Am not telling you to be inactive, but actively pursuing
Me, by seeking My Presence like never before.   You must say to yourself,
"open my eyes to behold the wondrous things from your Word."   Take
the 'rod' of my Word and divide the waters so that you can walk through
to your promise.  You will gaze into the real things of heaven and the
shadows of earthly living will not be able to compare.  You will see that
you are well able to defeat any issue of your heart and mind that
fights against you and My Word.  You will arise victoriously and
triumphant over the enemy.

     New levels of resting will be found as you
pursue Me and My Word.  New levels of understanding of Me and My ways
will be captured by ease.  New levels of revelation will come and you
will have the wisdom necessary to operate in this revelation.  Be warned
that the enemy has turned up the darkness in order to keep confusion
stirred up in your lives and even in my House.  You must be of an
understanding heart and call to remembrance My Word to love.  Love is the
motivator and the facilitator of you walking in the high life.  Study to
love and study to be quiet and peaceful.  When you heart does not
condemn you and you are at rest then you will hear Me clearly speaking.  
Once you know my voice, no matter what the storms are doing you will
know to wait on my Word before moving.  Follow Me for I always lead
you beside the quiet, still and peaceful waters.  Do not be driven by
turmoil and troublesome waters!  My
end is always good.

     Listen to this verse, the Spirit spoke it
to me after he gave me the prophetic word. 
"Until
the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a
fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest.  Then
justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remains in the
fruitful field.  The works of righteousness will be peace,
and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance
forever
My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure
dwellings, and in quiet resting places". (Is. 32:15-18)
This promise is for those of us who will not be
complacent about God's
Word
.  Let's be about doing it!

"New Levels of Resting"

Ears to Hear

Good Morning,

     Have you not heard that the Lord saves His anointed ones?  All
that will put their trust in Him and not in the ability or strength of
man, He will refresh, support and reinforce.  All of His kings, will be
purified and become white, washed by his Word.  A refining process that
will come from the throne
room
where the fires are being turned up.  You will say, "how
sweet is My God, for the great things He has done."  You know for sure
that you are being readied for the holy purposes of God.  Deep within you
know that the 'coming of the Lord' is drawing nearer than before,
and you continue to receive encouragement from this truth.  You know that
you are intimately imprinted upon the hand of the Lord, He has neither
forgotten you or given up on you.  You realize that He is making and
gathering up His jewels for His treasury.  His children are His delight
and His treasure.  Therefore you have been
keeping a watch upon your spirit and renewing your soul that it may be
controlled by the Spirit
of the Lord
.  You are not giving into the heaviness of the spirit
of deception nor the great cover up of not walking by the love of God.  You are
stirring yourselves up to love and walk in the highway of heaven and not
to the lowlands of this earth.

The Spirit of the Lord says;

     I Am coming as a great light and a fresh
fire flowing as a fountain to all who have kept their flames lit.  You
are about to experience walking up and down in My name as you recover
things that were stolen or that slipped by you at this past season.  You
will walk boldly as you hold the fire that burns as it goes.  This fire
will begin to burn away the forests that have kept you from seeing
clearly.  Wake up, wake up, for I Am surrounding you with fire and it
will be for glory in your midst.  I Am a consuming fire and a Refiner.  You will begin
to rejoice at all times as one who is  intoxicated with new wine.  Yes, I
have squeezed forth new wine from the grapes that have been produced
during this last season of trouble.  A change must now come, one that is
fueled by the fire that I have ignited in you.  It must be to pray for
all that do not know Me or obey Me.  There is a fire igniting for them as
well,
but not for purification.  There are dual purposes going on at all
times.  This same fire will purge some while destroying others.  All who
do not love Me will begin to feel this heat turning up on them.  It is
time now for you to be about the Kingdom's business.  Snatching souls
from the fires that they have set by rejecting Me.

     Harvest time has come near in My own
field.  There is a dividing line to separate between the tares and the
wheat and the sheep and the goats, that have grown and grazed together.  
Those that are genuine must be holy still.  You must keep guard and stay
in the love of your God, expecting and waiting patiently for the mercy
for eternal life.  Do not grow weary in doing right, for your season of
recompense is upon you.  I will make a known difference between who is
Mine and those who are not.  Just as the world will experience signs and
wonders in the sky and upon the earth, they will experience a new level
of signs and wonders being exhibited from My children.  We are about to
do awe inspiring acts, they will know that you are not of this world!
