Good Morning,

    Zephaniah 3:17 says "The Lord your God is in the midst of you is a Mighty One, a Savior (who saves)!  He will rejoice
over you with joy.  He will rest (in silent satisfaction) and in His
love He will be silent and make no mention (of past sins or even recall
them) He will exult and joy over you with singing." 
God is singing over you and rejoicing over you.  Rejoice
means to experience gladness or satisfaction; to express joy in a
noticeable way; marked happiness; high pleasure; demonstrative
happiness by shouting aloud; sing aloud; cry out; make merry.
  God, the creator God of the Universe, experiences gladness and sings songs of gladness and satisfaction over you.  Your life lived for Him brings Him high satisfaction.  Let's look at Psalms
32:7
it says, "You are my hiding place, You preserve me from trouble; You surround me round about as a compass with songs of deliverance."  Deliverance here means to slip out, escape, to carry away safe.  God
is singing over you, songs to carry you away safe and songs that help
you slip out.  God is on your every side, revolving and besetting and enclosing you with personal songs of your breakthrough and bringing
you out of all trials, tests and troubles that you are in.  His singing
will create for you joy.
  Job 8:20-21 says,
"Behold, as surely as God will never uphold wrongdoers, He will never
cast away a blameless man.  He will yet fill your mouth with laughter
and your lips with joyful shouting! 
Let us sing to our God songs of His deliverance and of the high pleasure that He has given us!

The Spirit of The Lord says;


    You are about to cause yourself to
move towards your deep collected places of fresh springs.  You have in
you the compelling force of My Spirit to extract well springs of
health, joy, deliverance, aid, victory and prosperity.  A bubbling up of
something that has been saved just for you is about to spill over into
your life, which will cause you to proceed into new ways.  Sounds will
be heard from heaven, as all heaven joins in with Me singing over you
with songs of deliverance.  We will rejoice over all that you have
persevered through trials and triumphed over them while you stood
irregardless. This sound is supernatural in fact it will break and crush
walls.  Walls that have kept you out and walls that were used against
you to hem you in.  The force of the sound heard from heaven mixed with
your very own voice will bring down all mammoth walls.  The crashing of
the walls will create a breeze.  Feel the breeze!  I will begin to blow
upon you this day also.  Stand in the exhale breath of your Father and
breathe in your new life.  New life that is full of ideas, giftings,
and anointings, for the faithful who have withstood the darts of the
enemy and have come forth with unprecedented valor.  I have brought you
by a way that you did not know, a way of Holiness, it is My highway. 
Those who walk there are changed, transitioning into beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning, and the garments of praise for the spirit
of heaviness.  Those who yield to this transition are truly righteous. 
As you stand in the winds of My Holy transcendence you will find
renewed visions and callings, revived dreams, and restored giftings.  You
will not come behind in anything.  I Am ushering into your life double in your new levels, double in your new beginnings,
double in your new days.  I Am continuing to build upon the old
foundations that I laid in you to bring up a stronger, fixed, and an
immovable you.  I have blown you onto the right course, so get down
running!  Run, run, for your goal is ever set before you.

 

Love,


Pastor D.

 Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord Says;

    There are eagles that are about to soar
in great flight.  They have streamlined their lives and allowed Me,
their Lord to shave away the weights that have kept them
grounded in the past.  Weaning them from all that they thought was their
source and their necessity.  They have truly discovered I Am their one
and only source.  Watch the eagles, climb higher into My presence. 
They will not settle for the commonplace.  Every step of faith has
brought them closer to the clouds of My glory.  The eagles will
experience the great torrential rains that I have promised in My
Word.  The rains are coming to refresh and blow away all that is
stagnant, clearing away all that obscured their vision.  My eagles will
create a refreshing wind, for they will carry My anointing and drip
it on all who have been waiting for more of Me.  This will increase the
desire for all the eaglets in My Kingdom to produce a fresh wind of glory in their
environment.  All of My children will desire to grow up and take their
place in the army of their God.  Holiness and maturity will be their aim
and their goal.  All of those who love Me will seek me again as they did
at first.  This fresh wind will start fires, fires will begin to glow. 
The wind and the fires will cause a dynamic outburst of the Spirit.  New
levels of My Spirit producing new levels of My glory.  My
people will now walk in sustained levels of power and authority.  This
will be the greatest times ever known to My people.  Healings
that will encompass, spirit, soul and body will be seen as evidence of
My favor.  My eagles will be at the forefront of this great time of My
manifested glory and healings, yet humility will fan the flame for
greater manifestations.  Those who have developed their wings have done
so through great seasons of endurance.  I know the many times that they
have laid down their own desires to see that Mines would be done.  Such
an awakening of my eagles will cause My watchmen to become more
alert. Their times of intercession will be fanned by the fires of
purpose and their eyes will see with great distinction.  My shepherds
will be quickened by the rushing of the wind of my eagles.  The meals
that they feed my people will be served with truth and in power.  They
will be revived by the same wind, feeding my people with fresh manna.  My
people will go throughout their territory bringing restoration to their
land.  Rebuilding all that has laid in ruins because of the devastation of the past generations and of
the present troubling to their lands.  They will not be distracted any
longer by the lies of the enemy.  They will work diligently on one hand
while warring for the Kingdom with the other.  This wind of the Spirit
will cause supernatural waves of energy, they will never grow weary as
they march right on to the new level.  All that they have gone through
has been preparation for this time.  The set time for My eagles has
come!   My favor will be your great reward.
    So I say to you, stir yourself up once again to loving Me.  Revive the fires of your prayer life,
ignite your quiet times in My Word, where you learned to hear My voice. 
Speak life to your times of worship, and you will be transported into
My Presence.  Refuse to stop running, and you will see that you be like
a watered garden and an ever-flowing spring.  You will be raised up on
high to soar once again as a renewed eagle!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,


The Spirit Of The Lord says;


   This is a season of supernatural
breakthrough, it will happen in spite of what is happening in the realm
of the natural.  You must be prepared to war as soldiers, with My
weapons which are not carnal, but mighty for pulling down strong holds. 
Do not fail to cross over during this time of transition.  Dual purposes
are always going on simultaneously to help bring about My desired
results.  There will be a Spirit of boldness that will arise upon My
children to cross over the Red Seas in their lives.  Take it by force,
seize it and lay hold of it now.  The first step of faith that you take
now will break up the ground for the new.  You must stay in the Spirit
and begin to rely on the revelation that you have received from times
of deep intimacy with Me.  From here you will gain insight for the very
next steps to take your land.

   
    As with Daniel,
My servant of old, wars are always being fought right over your
atmosphere.  These spirits are despotisms that are trying to cause you
not to hear My instructions, but at the same time, angels are warring
on your behalf in order that you might hear, receive and obey My
instructions for this season.  Many hindering spirits of all levels and
degrees have been unleashed to try and stop you from finishing the
course through to the end.  Offensive, distorting, and destroying
spirits that have an assignment to keep you full of confusion and to
stop you.  Do not allow or let this happen.  Keep a guard over your heart and mind by applying the salve of My Word on your heart and mind, do it double-time.  I have given help from on high!

    Your refusal to give the enemy any of your
territory will cause a lifting of your eyes and mind.  You will truly
see that I, the Lord your Mighty warrior shouts over you with a voice
of triumph.  I will let out a sound of victory that will revitalize
and recharge you, spirit, soul and body.  You must stop allowing your
mind to wander back to times of failure.  You will not fail in this
season if you will keep your mind stayed on Me.  Any thing that attempts
to assault your thought life with the disease of the old you must make
it fall away. 

   
    In this period of time I will plant in
your heart all that was difficult to bloom before.  There will be
streams in the desert for you.  Strong fruit will grow in your valleys. 
You will continue to grow in spite of all surrounding chaos.  You will
thrive and keep reaching for My plans and goals.  Stay alert by reviving
your times of prayer and quiet times
with Me.  You will see that I still have much to reveal to you.  Set your
mind like a flint and you will become a sharp threshing instrument
against the forces of evil.

Good Morning,


   The Spirit Of The Lord Says;


    As the seasons prepare to change, once
again you must follow accordingly.  Autumn causes things to fall away,
in order to prepare for the new.  Even now the preparation for the new
has come.  Yes, the change of your season is upon you.

   
    You have held on to some things that I
have caused to fall away from you because they were a hindrance to your
race.  You could not run effectively carrying the weights that you
placed on yourself.  I have lightened the load, so that you will
accomplish the tasks for this season.

   
    You have always been prepared to be
free, free from the cares of this world so that you can work more
wisely for the Kingdom.  Shake yourself loose from all those familiar
ties that have bound you from the great freedom that I have paid for. 
Some of you have been in a holding pattern,
waiting, for the signal to fly.  All the while fresh new wings have
grown for you.  It is your time to soar to the new heights that I have
established for you, before you were born.

         For some of you there were some
assignments that I had to put on hold.  Waiting until you were mature
enough to fulfill it.  They are being released to you now.  You have the
insight and the ability for the challenges that accompany the
assignment.  Do not shrink back in fear.  Boldly press in to possess your
promised land.  You have been faithful.  You looked past all that
clamored for your attention, and kept your eyes on the unseen realm of
the Kingdom.  I am pleased and filled with joy over you.  I have great
tokens to shower on you in this season.  No matter what is seen in the
natural, You will see the goodness of your Lord!  It will be marvelous
to behold, for those who are faithful.

 

Love,


Pastor D.

Good Morning,


The Spirit Of The Lord Says:


    The true Church cannot be stopped.  This
season has been a proving ground in the realm of the Spirit that those
who are truly devoted to Me will keep on keeping on.  They
will pass every dart of the enemy in spite of of all weapons used, they
are not harmed.  They have found a refuge and a safe haven in Me, They
can not be hindered, no matter what kind of clouds of deception have
been unleashed, they still see Me clearly.  Knowing Me through difficult
times before they know that they must streamline their lives, cutting
away all that will distract their gaze from Me.

   
    The true Church will experience a fresh
new dawning and arise in higher glory.  Because they know Me clearly,
they will walk in their Kingdom authority and cause all that will come
into the Kingdom in this season to come with purpose.  For the true children
all that was lost I will restore.  They will not be denied!  You, my
children have stayed on the wall as a faithful watchman, even when you
did not understand all that was happening, for you know Me.  You know
that I will not forsake My promises to you, My true ones.

   
    I have seen you laugh by faith, even
through tears, you laughed.  You knew that I would rescue you.  The sweet
aroma of praise that you do, even in the midst of the flood and the
fires, you lifted your praise high.  I Am so delighted with you, My fair
ones.  Together we have put the enemy to flight and caused a great
amount of derision to come to the camp of the enemies.  You have
obtained this victory by your praise, your continued joy and your
words, in spite of all things you kept My Words in your mouth.  Now,
there is coming a great releasing.  You will sense it in your
atmosphere, breathe it in!   You will breathe easy as you take your
mountain with certain ease.  Your times of refreshing has come.

 

Love,


Pastor D.

Good Morning,
 
    Matthew 5:13 says, "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltiness be restored?  It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men."  Salt is a raw material from sodium chloride, that chemical companies transform into chlorine and soda ash.  Salt is a processing aid in innumerable industries and the means by which animal nutrition experts ensure the health and productivity of livestock and poultry.  There are over 14,000 uses of salt, many of which involve helping us with household tasks.  Salt accents the flavor of meat, brings out individuality of vegetables and put oomph into bland starches, and deepens the flavor of delicate desserts.  It can be used as a cleaning agent, an effective dentifrice, antiseptic, medicinal purposes, and improves complexion.  It can be used for deicer for wintry roads. That is just a few of the uses for salt.  The Word tells us that we are the salt of the earth.  We should be a great benefit and blessing to the whole world and your specific sphere of the world that God has placed you in.  How about salt increases ones thirst?  We should be causing the sphere that we walk in to become thirsty to know our Father and our Savior.  The world should look at us and have an insatiable desire for water.  Also we have been the reason that the world is still preserved.  Jesus said, that if salt loses its saltiness it is good for nothing else, except that the world of men trample it under their feet.  When we as salt become bland and indistinguishable, not effecting the food that we are sprinkled upon we become salt that is stomped on.  We as the salt must not try to fit in to our world, but be the ambassadors from heaven creating a great thirst for those who live in a dry and weary land.  Right now the world is experiencing a 'drought in their souls.'  All of their natural and normal sources of satisfying their thirst for satisfaction is drying up.  This is the time that we should rise up in the spirit of God and say as Jesus said, "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink.  He that believes in Me as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters." (John 7:37-38)
    As we step up our salt effectiveness and refuse to assimilate to our world, by looking, sounding and walking as they do, we will experience a great well of refreshing water spring up within us too.
The spirit says;
 
    I will pour out water to you My children and I will quench your thirst and irrigate your parched dry land.  All of those places in your life that have experienced dryness.  I will pour My spirit out like rivers, living waters that will bless your descendants and all of your children will be called blessed.  They will thrive and blossom like watered grass and willows on the riverbanks.  You will drink deeply of My refreshing glory, even as infants that drink deeply of their mother's breast.  Rivers of peace and prosperity shall overwhelm you, My great faithful salt bearers.  Sprinkle and cause thirst in those who are waiting for you to rise up, saying, "Come all who are thirsty."  You will be refreshed and your thoughts will be clear and you will exercise more wisdom and insight than even you believed was imaginable.  Streams of waters will flow down every high place to open broad places in your heart and mind.  You will perform all that has been spoken over you in times past.  You will fulfill every prophetic Word, for you will war with those words and not let one fall to the ground.  A new you is arising from this shell of transition.  Hold on to My hand as I bring you forth.  Push!  I see the new horizon, and now your eyes will see it too.  Let's shake the world with our flavor.  It is unique and much to be desired by all.
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.

Good Morning,
 
The Spirit Of The Lord says;
 
    I see those who have stood irregardless of all the circumstances and challenges, and yet did not back down.  I see you as mighty champions of faith.  You have led many to My Kingdom by your stand, and have ministered to many of My children.  I have heard and seen the many nights of crying, mourning and yearning in the night season to see My people walk uprightly before Me.  I was there when you were wounded time and time again, yet you continued to get up and pursue your destiny.  I have held your hand when no one else was there to hold you up.  I have felt your tender love and strong commitment to Me.  I say to you My faithful lovers, do not grow weary.  Yes, I know that darkness has unleashed the deepest depravity of its strength to try and bring you down.  I know that there has been an attack on your body, mind and spirit.  I Am here to avail to you all of My strength.  You are a warrior for My Kingdom, yet you are still My very own precious child.  I will always pick you up and hold you up, with My arms of protection.
    You and I know that this assignment of hell is for destruction of My generals in My army, trying hard to bring them down in the eyes of the ranks of My army.  He is trying to shame those who in times past were forerunners in the race.  Those who have spoken My heart and My voice to the world.  He is trying to silence them, by an overwhelming exposure to darkness.  Many of My great ambassadors have fallen and succumb to the great deception of the enemy.  I will raise them up again, if they will cry out to Me again from a broken and contrite heart.  For those who have stood still when the clouds of difficulties overwhelmed them, I Am renewing their strength.  You will walk upon the high places with Me.  Receiving the crown and banner of victory given to all overcomers. Your faith in Me has won you the victory!

Good Morning,
    The spirit of discouragement and
disillusionment has tried to deceive many of My children.  It is a
strong, obscure and blurred spirit.  He has lied to them and told My
bond servants that I have forgotten them.  The lie that he perpetrates
is that I will not do what I have promised to do.  Promises that I have
spoken from My Word or in times of intimate fellowship, he lies by
trying to divert your attention to the temporal things.  Do not give any
attention to him My children.  If you entertain his lies they will find
a way into your heart and destroy and entangle all that We have built
together.  Do not allow the 'evil one' to plant snares and tares in our
garden of love.  Now is the time to draw close, so that you become
inaccessible to the darts of the wicked one.
    Yes, it is a time of tribulation for this
world system for I Am proving it's quality.  It is overdue, because of
the unjust weights and balances, and the great deception that has
continued for decades.  I have heard and I have hearkened to the cries
of My servants, those who are watchmen on My walls.  They have cried for
justice and I Am responding.  I Am shaking every system that is not
built upon My foundations.  Some of these systems have found their way
into My house.  That cannot be.  I Am uncovering and exposing all that
does not originate in Me and with My plans.
    My children that have given a cup of cold
water in My name will receive all that I have promised.  I have not
forgotten one seed sown in My name, by faith.  Harvest times
are by My timetable, for I Am Lord of the harvest.  I will repay.  I know
all that you have suffered in My name and because of your stand in My
name.  I have been touched by your heartaches and all that troubles you,
and I will come and rescue you.  You can be sure of Me and My word, it
will stand through all times.  I Am about to lift you up out of despair,
by My Mighty outstretched Arms.  No one will be able to take you from
that secure place.  Nothing is to difficult for Me, I will heal and
refresh you again.
Love,

Pastor D.

    The fullness of time has come for my
children who have waited patiently on Me.  It will appear as a suddenly
to onlookers, but you and I know the time and the faith that you have
invested for your suddenly.  Some of your suddenlies have
been a while in coming to you, but you have remained faithful through
the process.  You did not let go of My hand, and in fact you held
tighter to My Word.  I Am putting all the pieces in place that will fill
all that has been broken and out of order.  All of the tears that you
have sown will be multiplied back into joy, shouts of joy and singing
will be heard from you.  Your weeping valley has turned to flowing
springs of blessings.  I Am turning your time of testing into a time of
great celebration.  I will restore all that has been stolen during this
season and you shall come forth with great joy.  Your strength has
increased!  Your strength during the adversities has increased, because
you would not quit.  You availed yourself to Holy Spirit,
your helper, and walked through the flood and was not overcome by it,
instead you overcame it, by the Word that you have decreed from a heart
of faith.  You have gotten yourself the victory through My Word. 
Remember this time, and hold steady for your next level, it will help
you to rise even higher.  You have grown, because you let patience have
its perfect work in you, so that you may be mature in character and
lack nothing.  Rehearse your victories in Me, for it will increase your
strength.  The days are at hand and the fulfillment of every vision. 
There will be no more empty or fruitless vision in My house anymore.  I
Am the Lord, I will speak and shall perform and not delay or prolong My
Word.

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says,

    The degree that you are yielded to Me
and My plans for you, is the degree that I can use you.  You have judged
Me unfairly because when you see a completely yielded vessel move
in signs and wonders in the Kingdom, operating on a higher plane of their destiny.  While on
the other hand you yield only a fourth of yourself to My ways tying My
hands to flow freely in your life, you become upset and angry that I do
not use you to the same degree as the totally yielded one.  I will still
multiply the seed that you give to Me and much more will be given back
to you.  So, I Am waiting on your response.

   
    To whom much is given, much more is
required.  I still require of all My people to be a yielded vessel, in
order to be unhindered by the obstacles of a stubborn and resistant
vessel.  So if you want to see Me move more on your behalf, then yield
to Me more, not only in the limelight of ministry, but in your everyday
life.  Your everyday walk is where true character is being formed.  Do
not judge Me as unfair, when it is you going day by day without
acknowledging Me to direct your days in wisdom.  Day by day you choose
your own way and exalt your plans above mine.  Yet, you desire to move
in the supernatural ways without yielding your everyday living to Me. 
This is not an intermittent relationship, on again and off again, we
must have a complete and totally dedicated relationship.  I must be
involved in the intricate and intimate details of your daily existence. 
Then and only then will your life be truly lived for Me.  Then and only
then will you walk in all that I have for you.  Remember I Am faithful
to perform all of My Word concerning you.  Now you must be faithful,
since We are in covenant together.  Or at least allow Me to help you
become faithful.  Do not look to the left or to the right, do not look
at the relationships that I have with others.  Let us develop a personal
relationship.  I Am developing you into faithfulness as you yield to the
forming of My Word.

   
    I Am asking you, will you yield and
become yielded in every facet of your life?  Will you let me tear down
the walls of hardheartedness and indecisiveness that have hindered your
full cooperation with Me? 
   
    Understand that so many times I have
spoken into your life, so many Words that you have minimized in your
heart.  You did not know the value of walking out that Word.  You did not
know that it was the key, yes the key of obedience that would open to
you doors to the new horizon, to walking and living in the heavenly
realms.  Hear and obey, brings great recompense of rewards.  Hear and
obey.

 
Love,

Pastor D.
