Good Morning,

Here is a Word from the Lord;

    I Am calling to the forefront My true
prophets, those who will speak My heart and My word truly.  They are not
moved by the seasons, whether things are good or bad, whether the
opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable.  They are preachers of My
Word, rebuking, correcting, warning, urging and encouraging the lost. 
They are not moved by whether they are received with joy or cast aside. 
They are on a mission for the Kingdom.  They do not preach a message for
those who have itching ears, they are not trying to gain approval of
man, their desire is to only please Me.  This group of holy prophets
have come from My presence, from being totally immersed in Me and
dedicated to My purpose alone.  They will not say what is popular, but
what is profitable for the Kingdom.  Many voices are saying only what
they hear others saying and have not sought My counsel.  I Am
persistently sending you My prophets, so hear the ones that I Am
placing in your midst.  In order to hear and obey the true prophets with
My Word, you must be able to discern between the true and the false,
between the wheat and the tare.  The only way for you to hear and know
is for you to decide to know Me, in and through My Word.  I have
revealed Myself to you in My Word.  For you to make a proper shift and
change and be in My time, you can not be slothful or ignorant, because
of deception.  Now is the time for you to understand that My purpose and
plans for you are unchangeable, but I need you to line yourself up with
Me.  It is through faith and patience that you inherit the promises.  I
and My Word, We are One.  Listen to the ones that come with My Word.

 
    Read with me the message in Jeremiah
23:9 &11; "Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me,
all my bones shaken; I am like a drunken man, a man whom wine has
overcome, because of the Lord and because of His holy Words…..For
both [false] prophets and priest are ungodly and profane; even in My
house have I found their wickedness, says the Lord.  "Verses 16-18;
"Thus says the Lord of Hosts; Do not listen to the words of the [false]
prophets who prophesy to you.  They teach you vanity (emptiness, falsity
and futility) and fill you with vain hopes; they speak a vision of
their own minds and not from the mouth of the Lord.  They are
continually saying to those who despise Me and the Word of the Lord,
the Lord has said: You shall have peace; and they say to everyone who
walks after the stubbornness of his own mind and heart, No evil shall
come upon you.  For who among them has stood in the council of the Lord,
that he should perceive and hear His Word?  Who has marked His Word [noticing and observing and giving attention to it] and has actually
heard it?"  Verses 21-22: "I did not send these [false] prophets , yet
they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.  But if they had
stood in My council, then they would have caused My people to hear My
Words, then they would have turned them [My people] from their evil
way and from the evil of their doings."
    God makes a distinction between the true and the false prophets,
and we must discern also.  True prophets are always directing God's
people toward holy character and conduct.  Making 'soul prosperity' the
main goal.
"Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even [like unto; to the same degree] as your soul prosper."  (III John verse 2)         
    Read the rest of Jeremiah chapter 23.  "Is not My Word like fire [that consumes all that endure the test]? says
the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of most
stubborn resistance]? Therefore behold, I Am against the [false]
prophets, says the Lord, [I Am even now descending upon them with
punishment, these prophets] who steal My Words from one another [imitating the phrases of the true prophets].  Behold I Am against the
prophets, says the Lord, who use their [own deceitful] tongues and say,
Thus says the Lord."
    All of us are prophets in the small sense of the word and we need to speak the unadulterated Word of God.  We must meditate in the promises and stay true to God's Word.  The Bible says that in the last days that many false prophets shall arise.  We must be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.  Know the true and living God and develop ears to hear! 
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
 
Hear what the Spirit of the Lord says;

    I Am debriefing My body, My bride in the
chambers of the process of purification.  I will have a bride without
spot, wrinkle or blemish.  This process is now being applied by pressure
to press out of her life those wrinkles in her that is not pleasing for
My bride to be adorned in.  She must willingly submit to the process, I
will not make her, but the process will be a profitable experience for
those who will yield.  I AM debriefing her thought process, so that she
will think like I do.  She has been accommodating herself to the thought
process of where she has been temporarily assigned to.  You, My dear do
not belong to this world, but you are here only to represent Our
Kingdom.  You have allowed yourself to assimilate to the nature of this world
system, which will be destroyed.  I Am bringing My order and My Kingdom
rule to operate here, soon.  I remind you that you are Mine, and I Am
coming to receive you to Myself again, for all eternity.  Do not
entangle yourself with the affairs of this world, everything, except
souls, is temporary.  I have the greatest design and plan for you that
is out of this world.  You cannot afford to act or think like this world
system, for a little leaven will cause the whole lump to be infected
and affected.  Meditate in My Word like never before, find yourself
bathing in the beauty of Me.  There is coming to this world a sudden
calamity that will shake all whose lives are not hidden in me.  I Am
calling My own to draw closer than ever before to Me.  I desire My
fragrance to fill your whole environment, your sphere, the place that I
have strategically placed you in.  That you might be raptured by My
faithful love.  You are My witnesses to this world and I Am in need of
you to help save those who would be saved.  This is Our time to
accomplish the task that I have placed My faithful ambassadors, My
body, my bride to do.  This is the day, the time in which you must be
busy building for Us, not the time for selfish ambitions and selfish
goals.  We are One.  Can what you are preoccupied with stand the test of
fire?  Is it wood, hay or stubble?  Does it have eternal value stamped
upon it?  For a whole year I Am allowing My bride to go through a
cleansing and purification process, to wash away all that has tried to
stick and cause her to smell of this world system.  To purify out of her
the blemishes and the spots from here.  The pressure is applied out of
love, My desire and longing is to see you be all that I have purposed
you to be.  To straighten out the crooked places and to iron out the
wrinkles.  I will have My glorified bride, My church.  She will know and
recognize that she is loved by Me.  All that I Am allowing is to bring
her to perfection.  Do not be afraid, I will carry you on My wings of love and mercy.  All those who call on My name, yield
to My Word and find themselves dwelling in the secret
place will be strong and do exceedingly great things for the Kingdom. 
They will not faint nor grow weary, but will increase in strength.  A
great awakening is on the horizon.  Many will see and know that I am a
great God and loving Father, because My bride will so herald the News. 
She will not be silent, but will increase in the crying for all to come
and appear with them, before Me.  Holy, consecrated, dedicated, loving
and faithful is My bride.  We will ride victoriously in the time we have
and gather many souls for that great Day.  Ride on, My victorious bride!  Keep Me as the apple of your eye and you
will not falter, or fail, but will accomplish all that I have ordained
for you.  I will not fail you, I Am your champion.
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says:

    Expect the suddenlies, they come by
waiting. I love to do good, I Am always looking for a way to bring good
into your life.  As the pressure squeezes you, all of those things that
are dead in you will be pushed out.  Just like a wine press
that leaves the waste behind and processes the wine for drinking.  Life,
new wine of life will burst forth from you.  This wine of new life will
anesthetize you to any forms of attack, you will press right through
it.  The enemy does not know the resurrected you, he can not perceive
the power in this new wine.  You are a new wineskin now, full and
overflowing with the best wine.  Yes, I have saved the best for last. 
You are always drinking from the springs of life that provide fresh and
new strength everyday.  In this wine, it gives you wisdom, revelation,
insight, along with being fully inebriated, laughing at the ploys and
strategies of the enemy.  Using every trial, test, tribulations, as a
stepping stool, to lift you up higher into my heavenly realms to hear
and know the great and masterful plans that I have for you.  I have
ordered steps for you.  Though it seems like time has passed you by,
take a look and see, it has brought you to your suddenly.  You have come
through the floods and the fires, and you are still ready to fight.  You
have grown up, through the very things that you thought would destroy
you.  Hold your head up high, you are an ambassador from My kingdom, a
winning warrior.
 
    Suddenly
means to occur with brief notice; not foreseen; characterized by swift
action, fast moving.  Sooner than was expected; not seen in the manner
or time in which it came.
  There is a suddenly in the Word of God, that we will look at: Acts 2:1-2; "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind…"  As we examine this scripture we see that this, 'suddenly', came by a season of waiting.  Jesus speaking to His disciples was telling them of the Kingdom of heavenActs 1:4-5: "And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem,
but
wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith He, you have heard Me speak of.  For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days from now."   They had no idea how long they would have to wait, but they prepared by
waiting.  We can learn how to wait, by looking at their example. 
Acts 1:13-14; "And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room,
where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and
Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.  These all continued with one
accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother
of Jesus, and with his brethren."
    Here we see their 'suddenly', came as they waited with anticipation and expectation by being in one accord, prayer and worship.  We must do likewise!  Wait
means to stay in the state of readiness as a watchman who expects to
serve or execute orders.  Hopefully and actively; remaining and
continuing to abide.
    Is. 40:31; "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and
they shall walk and not faint."
  Here are the benefits of waiting for your 'suddenly'.  Renewed strength– to spring up with change; to grow up in vigor, force, capacity, means ability, might, power, wealth, substance, fruit and produce.  Mount up with wings as eagles
to ascend, to arise, bring up, carry up, climb up, stir up, to set up:
to soar with long wing span; gliding easier; not as tedious.  Run and not be weary
hit the runner's high; to stretch, to rush speedily and hastily like a
footman; never tire or become exhausted, or gasping for breath. Walk and not faint– to carry away; to depart, to march, prosper and pursue; not be
fatigued; not weakened.
    Our suddenlies are based upon our promise from God's WordPromise is a divine assurance of good; self committed by God.  God keeps His promises to us so wait your suddenly is on it's way. 
"The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He
promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is
long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you…"
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord says:

    In this season of change, I am releasing
the anointings that have rested upon My servants in times past, yet
double.  The anointings that now come upon My servants today as the
gifts of the Spirit, that sometimes drip as a steady rain, shall
seem as powerful as the Niagara or the Victoria falls that no man can
quench it or still it.  The anointing of wisdom, revelation, miracles, healings, prophetic utterances, knowledge and insight, supernatural faith, discerning of spirits
and diverse kinds of tongues shall be like living-fire in My house.  All
of the living temples that abide in Me and allow Me to truly abide in
them will walk this out in every sphere and avenues of life.  This
strong release shall be upon the housewife, the market place, the
poor and the rich, the young and the old, female and male, every race
and nation of people that belong to Me.  Living examples of My living
power.  The diversities of My gifts and their use is as diverse as My
people are.  This end time army shall be a devastation and a violent
assault against the kingdom of darkness.  Powerful force for the enemy
to reckon with, for My people have arisen.  Alive in their true identity!!  Sons and daughters
of the Most High God, imitating and demonstrating the love and
character of their Father.  Bringing the greatest treasures of this
world into My Kingdom, and that treasure is souls.  Fill My treasury
with those gems that bring Me delight!  My people have become
home-sick, so now their focus has shifted, now they long to be with Me
forever.  Busy, busy, but not about many things as in days gone by,
now they are busy for the Kingdom.
  Now a
single-vision has taken hold of them and I Am now the apple of their
eye.  Their will has now turned into Mine.  So look and see, those who
are yearning for Me, will let Me flow the anointings through them to
bring many souls home to Me.  They have set their faces like a flint. 
Their concern is not about building their own microscopic kingdoms.
They are about their Father's business.  I Am about seeing that they
have everything necessary to fulfill Our destiny.
 
    We, the children of God are waking up and walking in our inherited rights.  Romans
8:19-23; "For even the whole creation (all nature) waits expectantly
and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the
revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].
We have God's DNA, His greatness is in us.  The power is waiting for us to stir it up within us.  Open our eyes to see clearly who we really are. "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He
wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His
own right hand in the heavenly places, far above principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only
in this world, but also in that which is to come; and has put all
things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to
the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all."  (Ephesians 1:17-23)
  Everything underlined refers to us and our place, part, and position in Christ.  That last part of the verse in the Amplified Bible says it like
this;
"He has put all things under His feet ….and made Him supreme Head
of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church].  Which is
His body, the fullness of Him, Who fills all in all [for in that body
lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who
fills everything everywhere with Himself]."
  Did you get it?  In that body, [that is you and I], lives the full
measure of God and Christ.  Wow, what God has placed in a brick house! 
We are more than dirt, with eyes and a mouth.  We are an expression of
the image of our God.  Pause and calmly think on that today.  Rise up,
for we have a firm foundation.  He will keep you stable as you take
steps to do your part of filling the measure of Him.

Good Morning,

    Do you remember when you first got your new car, new house, new
toys, new outfit, new pair of shoes?  Do you remember the first time you
met your mate for life?  How about the first time you met the Lover of
your soul?  Oh, the excitement, the care and attention that you gave to
those first new loves!  Now can I ask you, do you even know where those
shoes are that you couldn't do without?  Do you wash and shine that car
like you did the first few weeks?  How about the upkeep, how old is the
oil, or is it empty?  How about your house, is there things that are broken
and in need of repair that you keep promising to get to?  Does your
front yard look like no one lives there?  That outfit,is it balled up
in the corner of your closet?  How much dust is on that 60 inch flat
screen T.V.?  That mate that you thought was the only one for you, when
was the last time you had a romantic evening of gazing into each others eyes? When was the last time
you did something to let them know that they are still the most important person in your life?
    I said all that to bring us to the number one, most important One in our lives.  Do you still give God the undivided attention
that you once gave Him?  Do you wake up in the morning and run to be in
His arms as you did in the beginning?  Do you wait with anticipation,
for those sweet Words of love
that He whispers to your heart alone?  Do you still look into His eyes
while everything else fades into the shadows?  Is He the only One who
can make you truly happy?  Are you longing to be with Him always
and forever?  There are so many distractions of life that cries out for
our attention.  Many of them are viable, like our family, our loved
ones, our jobs, our ministries, etc.  None of this should occupy the
first place in our lives, even though for most of us these very viable
things take precedent.  While our relationship with the Father gets
pushed back into our 'spare time slot'.  Our hearts and our minds will
make place for that which we long for and desire.  We can make our flesh
get in line for anything that we really want.  If you need to get up and
catch a flight to go on your vacation you can program your mind and
flesh to line up with your heart.  You will not miss that flight, even
if it is 2:30 in the morning, right?  You will get to that gate in time! 
Yet we should be waiting at the gates of our God, first place.  "Joyful are those who listen to Me, watching for Me daily at My gates, waiting for Me outside My home" (Proverbs 8:35)
    Longing means to seek greedily; to run to
and fro to have; have appetite for; to pine for or to languish with
desire; yearn intensely for; to be desperate for; have a strong craving
for; to give diligent search for; to hunger and thirst for with ones whole heart.
  Does this define your relationship with God right now?  Listen to these verses and see if you identify wholeheartedly with them.  Psalms 63:1; "O God, You are my God; At dawn, I earnestly search for You.  My soul [mind, will and emotions] thirsts for You; my whole body longs for You…"  "My soul yearns, yes, even pines and is homesick for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God." (Psalms 84:2)  God is waiting to have a bride who can no longer stand to be separated
from Him.  A bride who desires Him more than silver or gold.  One who is
languishing within, to behold Him.  Father is saying to let our dream
become reality! 
"In the night I dreamed that I sought the One whom I love. I sought Him, but I found Him not."(Song Of Solomon)
    Are you keeping your love red hot and on
fire for Him?  Are you longing, greedily seeking, running to and
fro, pining and yearning with desire, desperately craving and yearning,
hungry and thirsty for Him now?  Can you sense Him deep inside causing
your bowels to turn with such longing to go to Him?  Where nothing else
can quite satisfy you. I hear His voice saying,

    "Rise
up, my love, my fair one and come away.  I desire you, and only you.  Come and linger in the sheltered secret place and be enamored always
with My love for you.  I will lavish you with all that I have kept for
you, overflowing goodness, My heart's treasure is to fill you with
wholeness and soundness.  Stay in the place of readiness and
preparation.  I am coming soon to take you away.  Be ready against that
day.  We are yearning for you to behold all that we have prepared for
you.  To take delight in your delight.  Do not let or allow the
activities of life to side track from your journey back home.  Home with
me is where you belong.  Your assignments on earth are almost completed
and over.  I need your affection and attention to be single-minded.  I
sense your desire is towards Me.  You are coming into your place of
being a mature bride.  Ready to do the greater works that will give Me
all glory.  The finishing touches are being applied.  This will be our
grandest hour.  The light will shine brighter in the darkest days
ahead.  What was once a small light shall now outshine all eras.  We are
taking in the greatest haul, my love.  Together in My name it will be
accomplished.  The greatest power is released from love.  Our love for
one another will accomplish these great works in the days ahead.  While
the world quakes in fear and in darkness, you will arise in love and light.  Go forth my love and let us finish what I started.  Stay sensitive to My voice,
for I am giving you instructions that will put you over the top, both spiritually and naturally.  So follow Me and stay true to My Word.  Forever, we will be together loving and enjoying each other!"

 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
   
    The Spirit of the Lord says;

    "One sustained
sound, the sound that Israel maintained, at the blowing of the trumpets
and the shouts of My people that brought the walls of Jericho down.  It
is this same sound that I am requiring all that call on My name to do
even today.  That one sustained sound can bring you victory and cause
the walls of defeat to come crashing down in your life.  The shout of
victory that is filled with My Word will break down walls and cause
mountains to crumble and valleys to break open with the hidden springs
of life.  Oh, My children, the hidden mines of victories that lies
within your mouth and your spirit waiting to open floods of living waters
over you.  Deep treasures are about to be explored and brought to the
surface for those who trust in My Word and depend upon My promises for
them.  As you spend time in worship and in My Word, learning how to wait
with expectation, slowly, the treasure that I've already given you, will
come bubble up.  The waves of the Spirit will wash against the rocky
places the hard and difficult ones and reveal what you have in your
hands.  Every time that you soak in my presence, the Spirit will
consistently remove little by little, the hindrances that have tried to
prevent the discoveries that show who you really are.  You are changed
by the waiting.  As you beh
old me, these face to face encounters reflect Me, more and more.  Until you awake in My likeness.  There are hidden treasures in secret places that have been reserved just for you.

    Isaiah 59:21;
"As for Me, this is My covenant or league with them, says the Lord: My
Spirit, Who is upon you [and Who writes the law of God inwardly on the
heart], and My Words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart
out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your [true spiritual]
children, or out of the mouths of your children's children, says the Lord, from henceforth and
forever."  Isaiah 45:3; "And I will give you the treasures of darkness
and hidden riches in secret places."  The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;
He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.  And there shall be
stability in your times, an abundance of salvation, wisdom, and
knowledge; the reverent fear and worship of the Lord is your treasure
and His." (Is. 33:5-6)
    Our Father
delights to do us good.  As we stay consistent with Him, as our covenant
requires, He will do what He has promised.  All of us may be going
through rough times where the promises are being tested in our
lives.  Be assured the Word of God
can handle us applying pressure to it.  I have experienced difficult
testing that I thought I would not be able to smile and be truly happy
again.  Yet, God has remained faithful to His Word.  He can be depended
upon to use the worst situations to bring the deepest, most valuable
treasures from within each of us.  You are God's most
desirable treasure and yet within you He has placed treasure.  So, let's
do justice to our Father's Word and say what He says about us.  There is
untapped treasure in you waiting to be discovered.
 
Love,

Ears to Hear (Part 44)

Good Morning,

    The Hebrew month of Adar is here, also known to us as March.  Both are significant for us to pay attention to.  The Hebrews associate this month in the sense of the 'power to walk', meaning to move and accelerate in our service of God.  They also receive the Jewish Law, whose name is derived from the word which means walking, 'halicha'.  It also denotes the month of vision.  In Adar everybody saw the revelation on Mount Sinai, the giving of the Torah to Moses.  Vision is something seen otherwise than by the ordinary sight; an imagery supernatural or prophetic sight; something beheld in revelatory dream, trance.  The act or power of seeing and or perceiving.  This season overlaps with the times of the month of February which denotes healing, purging and refining.  The Spirit of God is still doing the work of refining, purging and healing, while causing our vision to be purged and refined.  At the same time healing the steps (those that have been crooked or perverted) that we are taking towards the vision in the service of God.  The month of March, for the English calendar represents the times of winds, also on the Hebrew calendar it is when they celebrate the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost).  Acts 2:1-2; And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting….verse 4 says, "and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.."  The winds represent the breath of God.  Winds here mean breath, or a sensible or even violent exhalation of life.  It can be seen clearly by the demonstration in Ezekiel, where wind and breath are synonyms.  Ezekiel 37:4-10; Again He said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.  Thus says the Lord God to these bones; Behold I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.  Verse 7; So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone….Verse 9; Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind (breath), prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind (breath), Thus says the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.  So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them and they lived…

    This month ahead, the breath or wind of God is breathing in and upon us as in days gone by to refresh us for the journey of walking out the vision of God.  He will enable us for the journey, to take the steps necessary to fulfill His purpose.  Whatever God has been speaking consistently to you over and over again, now is the time to allow the winds to take you there.  Those dreams, visions, plans and goals that have been birthed through prayer, the wind or breath of God will push you along to the end of this course.  
    The Spirit says: "Do not be afraid to take the steps.  Walking means to have the ability to move to the directed course.  Move now, towards the vision.  Do not halt between two opinions.  I will accelerate, I will breathe a fresh breath of life into the plans that I have made for you.  Everything that establishes the Kingdom, will take priority.  As you are busy doing Kingdom business I will in turn take care of all of your affairs, everything that concerns you.  We will affect every area and walk of living, so that no one is missed or untouched by those who are walking in the vision that I have planned for them.  All of Me will blow through this world, for I Am in all of you.  For wherever I send you, there I Am also.  More of Me will be seen, for My people are dying to themselves, so that I may live through them.  My life being expressed through My people, My plans, My dreams, My vision being fulfilled through My people.  Take those steps towards the destiny that I breathed into you.  Don't be afraid, for it is My breath, the wind of the Spirit that you will feel blowing you onto course.  Simultaneously the same wind will be blowing the refuse off of the course, so that you will not stumble over it anymore.  Listen to Me, for the Spirit and the Word gives light.  Light brings understanding.  Yield to My Spirit and My Word.  Both, together are life-giving.  When you sense the push along the course that I have chosen, it will be by My breathe and My wind.  Together we will bring a new day."
    This month, you must remember to prophesy-to speak by inspiration.  Inspire yourself to speak that you will walk out the God given vision, blown by the wind of the Spirit. "He who walks uprightly, walks securely..Whoever walks uprightly shall be saved…whoever walks wisely shall be delivered. (Proverbs 10:9;28:18 & 26) "So we walk on, securely, saved and delivered!

Good Morning,

The Spirit says:

    This is the season where my warriors
will be able to do more harm to the kingdom of darkness, than ever
before.  As they have gone through the valleys, they have come out
trusting Me, their great Warrior.  Many for the first time in their walk
with Me, have experienced Me as their personal bravery.  They have awaken

truly begin to see My Word work in their affairs.  I have been a Father,
a Provider, a Counselor, a Healer, a Friend and a Lover to them. 
They have stretched themselves during the difficulties that they were
challenged by, and found out that the Greater One keeps every promise. 
I have overshadowed them, so that the darts of the wicked one did not
destroy them.  They arose and soared higher than they thought was
possible, acquiring new levels of faith and more sensitivity to My
presence.  They chose to stay disciplined as they went through the fire
and the flood.  My warriors have come out, delivered, set free, loosed
and changed.  Stronger and braver still, against all of the forces of
the enemy.  They do not fear, or run from adversities, but uses the
storms of life to cause them to mount up higher.  For I, the Lord have
strengthen them and hardened them to difficulties, and with each one,
it has become easier for my warriors to face the next battles.  This
bravery and strength was born out of those hard places as they trusted
in El-Gibbor.  Oh, I have taken such delight in these warriors!  They
have learned to do My Word at all times, yes, even when it isn't easy. 
Joy, is found in My house at all times, and my warriors have found
deeper joy in Me.  Trusting Me have brought a calm assurance and great
joy.  Now they know Me, truly know Me as the Faithful One.  The enemy is
shaken by this revelation.  My people humbled themselves and depended on
Me, not in their own ability or in their strength.  This season is a
great spiritual battle and they are not neglecting their full armor. 
They have stood face to face against the forces of darkness and
withstood them by My grace.  They must not turn in retreat, for cowards
will perish.

    Every warrior that is truly Mine, can not
love this world, nor his own personal comforts more than their
obligations to this great armed forces that they have enlisted in. 
Truly, the arm of flesh will disappoint and let down every time.  This
is a serious season for serious warriors.  I have given them a brave
and courageous spirit and a persistent heart.  They are determined to
keep faithful to the end.  With this kind of heart, an increase of
revelations will flow into their lives.  For this committed remnant of
believers shall come forth, a greater degree of the miraculous in their
personal lives.  The enemy thought he would have you on the run, yet, after all of the smoke clears, there you stand.  Standing in the power
of your God and His personal bravery.  My brave courageous warriors who
walk in the fear of their God and in the revelation that there is no
weapon formed against them that will prosper.  They boldly declare and
decree it and the wicked one flees, yes, he runs from them.  For great is the army that carries out My Word.

    Through God we shall do valiantly [a force; an army; wealth, virtue, valor, strength; a great host, might, power, strong war]; for it is He that shall tread down our enemies. (Psalms 60:12)  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.  (Ephesians 6:10)  Saints, we win!!  Shout about it!!
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
 
The Spirit of the Lord says;

    Let the winds of adversity blow and the
storms of change rage against My trees that I have planted.  They may
bow at the fierce gust of the winds, but they will not break.  They, who
are Mine have allowed Me to plant them near the river.  Their roots go
down deep, so deep that nothing can penetrate to their depth.  They sway
with the force of the storm, but they are easily up-righted.  For they
are rooted in My Word and they have stood the test of time.  They are
the great oaks and evergreens in My garden.  When the heat of trials,
tests and adversities come, they have found their shade of protection
in My Word.  These oaks and evergreens have been fruitful to all in My
garden.  Others take delight in their shade and in the sweet smell that
comes from their leaves of life.  The foxes and all the enemies of My
garden are shocked by the incredible stamina of these great and
powerful trees.  They have learned how to use all the difficulties and
adversities as fodder for their continued growth.  My trees remain
connected to Me, their source, I have received much glory from their
obedient and yielded life. 
In the days that are coming upon the face of this earth, it will be My
trees that will stand for Me and for righteousness and not be moved by
what moves the world.  Their trust is in Me and My faithfulness to them
and in keeping My promises.  Because they are deeply rooted in Me, they
will rise with wisdom and insight for the days ahead, many of them will
be like Joseph and Daniel
In times of difficulties, times of oppression, times of uncertainty and
in challenging times, Joseph and Daniel received heavenly wisdom,
knowledge, insight and revelation for their families as well as for
their nations.  I am giving to My trees of righteousness that same
ability.  One will receive a piece of the puzzle, another will receive
their piece and still another their piece.  My true people will come
together and they will excel at this time as they learn how to be One,
as I Am One with the Son and Precious Spirit.  We are whole together.  So
shall My people come, each with his piece to make a whole.  Stamping out
their childish ways, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and a list of fleshly
devices of separation.  One as I long for you to be.
    Listen My trees for I Am revealing to you
the way to go through the midst of these times of tribulation and
testing without anything hurting or harming you.  If you want in, come
and let Me plant you and prune you by My river that you too may be an
oak or an evergreen in My eternal garden.
   
    Jeremiah
17:5-8; "This is what the Lord says; Cursed are those who put their
trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts
away from the Lord.  They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no
hope for the future.  They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salted land.  But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the lord their hope and confidence.  They a
re like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by heat or worried by long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit."  John 15:1-4; "I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.  He cuts off every branch of mines that doesn't produce fruit, and He prunes the branches that do bear
fruit so they will produce even more….remain in Me and I will remain in you.  For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in Me.

Good Morning,
 The Word Of The Lord Came To Me Saying;
There is a river that is ever increasing in its intensity and its consistency.  It has been flowing into the open sanctuaries of the hearts of My people.  To those who will let, by yielding, this mighty river will root out, pull down, throw down and destroy all hard and stubborn places.  The river will cause heavy burdens to become dislodged as easily as a feather blowing in the wind.  In order for this to happen, I must have access into every area of your heart.  If you would learn to flow with the rhythms of  My river, you would see all that is washed away by its force.  You cannot go on your own power.  The river will push you from familiar places, out of the ruts that you have become stuck in.My river is a cleansing one that removes deep set in dirt, from the mind and heart.  Refreshing comes as it washes all weakening agents from your life.  As it increases with intensity it sanctifies, purges, heals and builds and plants.  Making you whole, healthy and sound in your mind and your heart.  Growth will be seen by all who have known you before the flowing river began this restoration in you.  You, that was barren, unhappy, unloving, unforgiving and unfruitful shall blossom and bring amazement and wonder.  Come, yield and flow with Me to your fulfillment.
 
Ezekiel 47:6-11; He asked me, "Have you been watching, son of man?"  Then he led me back along the riverbank.  When I returned, I was surprised by the sight of many trees growing on both sides of the river.  Then he said to me, "This river flows east through the desert [dry, hard places], into the valley of the Dead Sea."  The waters of this river will make the salty waters of the Dead Sea fresh and pure.  There will be swarms of living things wherever the waters of this river flows.   Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will become fresh.  Life will flourish wherever this water flows.  Fishermen will stand along the shores of the Dead Sea…….  Verse 11 says, "But the miry places and the marshes will not be purified; they will still be salty."
Marshes—-meadow lands near water; swamps; bogs; morass [a trap; it snares, confuses or impedes and entangles] 
Miry land—boggy ground or matted; deep mud or slush; [something that causes one to wallow and sink deeper; to plunge into a deep pit]; to cause to stick
So there are places and people who will not yield to God's river or His power.  What, not yield to God's power?  Do you remember Pharaoh?  He saw God's signs and power, yet he hardened his heart against God.  Sounds like a miry land or a marsh place, because where there is no yielding, there will be no change.  We must make sure that our hearts stay pure, by not getting entangled or confused by all that is going on in your life as well as what is going on in the world.  Everything that is twisted, wicked, evil or even some things that look right may be designed to try to take your mind off of God's river, to bring entanglement and confusion.  That you end up stuck or wallowing in the muck and mire, sinking deeper.  Stay in the Word of God and hunger for His Presence daily.  Love is the foundation to keep the river on the increase.  No one and nothing is worth losing your soul-salvation.  Love, like your life depends on it, for it really does.  Let's ride the river with Abba!!

Love,

Pastor D.
