June 30, 2023 – Ears to Hear, Hearts to Obey

Good morning,

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 blessing 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. 

 “For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere” (Ephesians 6:12)

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” (Isaiah 61:10)

“So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11)

Love,

 My dearly beloved, I hear and see the tears that you have cried over being broken.  I desire you to know that in these moments, I draw closer to you as a Father does to his child that has been hurt, rejected, or forsaken.

Good morning,
 
    My dearly beloved, I hear and see the tears that you have cried over being broken.  I desire you to know that in these moments, I draw closer to you as a Father does to his child that has been hurt, rejected, or forsaken.  I declare to you that you are My precious one, the apple of My eye.  I will never treat you as those who have hard hearts, have done.  Yet know that their insensitivity is because of their own pain.  Give them the compassion that they neglected to show you.  Your harvest of love will come back manifold.   Always, always, show My kindness in the face of hurt and pain.  I Am God, and I Am righteous to judge fairly.  I will repay to everyone the seeds that they have sown.  I know the hearts of men, and without Me there is nothing good in them.  That is why I Am constantly wooing the rejected, the downcast, the forsaken, and the one who is least.  I seek to save them from their own self-destruction.  My judgment is righteous and fair.  So, turn your tears of hurt to tears of prayers, uttered for those who have inflicted wounds.  Be like Me in your forgiveness.  Now stand back and see how I will turn what the enemy meant to harm you in to your finest hour.  They meant it for harm, but I meant it for good, to save you and to bring you out into a large place.
 
    There is a fresh season ahead for you.  Most of all I will bring you into the place that I have prepared for you to show forth My glory.  Be sure and know that your gifts will make room for you.  You will not be disappointed with My purpose, trust Me, I will not fail to delight your heart.  I still have great surprises planned for all that put their hope in Me.  You will experience for yourself days of new liberation from pain, hurts, and any form of rejection.  It will be as if you are dancing in the sun, without the threat of rain.  You will know what it is to be covered by My shade of favor.  You will see and know that a divine healing has taken place in your heart.  All that the enemy lied to you about and said that I would not heal you of, I will do it for My pleasure in providing for you.  Stay ready for the changing of the present circumstances, they will be swift and many will stand with wonder at the speed of change.  So do not allow yourself to be overwhelmed or depressed by what you see.  For soon you will not see these enemies in your land again.  Your destiny is one of great hope.   Believe only and you will see! 
 
    "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I willease and relieve and [refresh your souls." (Matt. 11:28)

 
    "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." (Is. 61:1-3)
 
    "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Gal. 6:7-9)

It is time to take your position and stay as a watchman on your wall. 

Spiritual-watchman
 
Good morning,
 

    It is time to take your position and stay as a watchman on your wall.  The watchman will see and hear that the morning is coming, for the night is almost over and joy is coming in this new morning!  I have placed each one of My children in their most effective station, for the things that will come in this year.  Prepare to succeed, when all others fail who don't know Me.  I have placed upon My own a seal of My anointing which is able to forcefully resist any other agent that will try to break through.  Yet, understand this, that the enemy of your soul will not stand idly by, while you are applying force.  Be prepared to fight the fight to win.  As a watchman you must be able to have eagle vision, to see from afar the schemes and the strategies of the enemy.  Know that he will try to bring a level of confusion to your mind in order to get you to let up.  See, this is not the time for halting.  I will arise because of the groans of the needy and the cries of the faithful ones, and I will put you in a place of safety.  I have not hidden My face from you neither have I forgotten you.  I will counsel you with My eye and by My words.  So, hear and see. 
    I have heard the cries of My children to see more of My presence, and I will manifest Myself to those who are looking to see and listening to hear.  This time will be unique for My children who are seeing and hearing, for the old and the new are coming together to disclose My greatness like never before.  Keep pressing toward Me in worship, for you are closer than you have ever been to breaking through barriers.  These barriers are those that have been set by the forces of religion, this world system, the enemy, as well as the limitations set by your own mind and your generation.  Open your eyes that you may begin to behold the wonders that are Me.  Not just here in this earth realm, but in the heavenlies and also within you.  You are of the God-kind.  There is much more in you than even you know.  Yet, some have tapped into the deep places, the wells of living waters on the inside of them.  It is not only in you to have the ability to create but also in the God-given imagination that is given to produce more uniquely.  I Am removing the lids and the caps off of those who have sought Me diligently and are dying daily to the old man.  All others will be amazed and baffled by what will break out from you.  It is because you have lifted Me high in your heart, now know that your humility has caused you to be lifted high.  Expect to witness My hand as I execute and accomplish My plans upon the difficult and troublesome testings and struggles in your life.  Remember, stand upon the walls and hear and see, do not be easily moved by any other thing.
 
    "So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." (Is. 55:11)
 
    "For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth." (Is. 21:6)
 
    "Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Ps.30:4-5)

Good morning,
 
     Yes there is no weapon.  Whatever weapon that can be named that the enemy has named against you, you rise above that name in the name of Jesus.  For I have given you everything that pertains to life and   godliness, which means being just like Me.  So you have the ability to speak to every circumstance and every situation by your own mouth with the power of your Father backing you.  I Am making sure that it comes to pass, because I never quit and I never give up says the Lord.  So the very time you line yourself up with Me you will find that you come out on top every time because I am a God who is the warrior.  I Am the head and not the tail, so are you, I Am the Lord above all things and I have given you that same power and ability by My spirit, so you can stand against any foe of darkness and come out on top.  Even in the midst when you do not see your way out, I Am your bright light shining as a beacon bringing you clearly out of that dark place.  So trust in Me like never before but do not let your confession change because of things in your life.  No weapon formed against you, and I say again no weapon formed against you will prosper.  I say to you, who you are is more than any weapon that is named.  It must bow it's knee because you stand in My name and whatever comes against My name must bend, break, and be destroyed.  So there is no weapon, there is no weapon says the Lord.  So you stand right where you are and declare that, "I am greater than anything that I can face in my life, I am greater, because the Greater One lives in Me".
     I have seen says the Lord,  I have seen when the enemy comes and you cower, but I say to you when the enemy comes in you be bold and stand still and see My salvation.  I lift up a standard against the enemy.  He must bow to the standard that I lift up.  My blood is sufficient, My name is sufficient, My word is sufficient.  I lift up a standard says the Lord and he must bow to that standard.  Nothing can come up against that standard and push back against that standard, it is a strong and sure foundation.  Now I have made and given to you, so you stand in the standard of My word and do not cower down in the face of the enemy.  You will come out on top every time and you will be more powerful.  For the enemy and the forces of darkness they will know, they will know when you wake says the Lord because the fragrant powerful words of your God will be on your lips and the praise of your God shall go before you like a two edged sword devouring every foe in front of you and behind you and on your side.  For I have sent my angels to stand garrison round about you to see to all your ways.  This is not over until I say it is over.  So this is a new beginning, a new beginning and when new beginnings happen, I give new insight, new wisdom and new revelation for the fight.  So stand ready says the Lord, do not back down.  I am more than enough.
 
     “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn.  This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LordAnd this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord. (Is. 54:17)
     "Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God andyou belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]." (1 John 4:4)
     "So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." (Is. 59:19)
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.

Good morning,
     If you would offer up the sacrifice of worship and praise, and push away everything that has been keeping your attention, your mind, and your heart from being focused on Me and if you will make a decision to focus your attention passionately on Me, you will begin to see the way out, and understand wisdom.  This wisdom is beyond your years, wisdom beyond your own reach of education, wisdom beyond this age and this world, says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  For I have great things in store for you, all I ask for is a pure heart, one that desires Me more than the necessary food, that means real hunger.  I will give to you treasures, hidden treasures in secret places and I will pull you up so that you could enjoy the things that I have given unto you.  You will understand and walk in it, mysteries unveiled to cause you to experience My true prosperity, and live in it and do the things that I have called you to do in this final hour.  It is for My name that I might receive glory and honor so that we can go together, and we can be that kingdom, and that family known only by your Father.  Knowing that the angels and all the living creatures in heaven, and the heavenly host shall rejoice and be glad when you perform and do your purpose on earth says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  So stay ready and keep your hearts open, your ears in tune for the great things that I Am revealing and making known to you in the days ahead.  Worshiping will sharpen all of your senses, making you spiritually a sharp threshing instrument. You will not only hear and see but do, which makes you superior in your obedience. This sets you up high, My exaltation of you, for humbling yourself by doing My Word, so keep walking in prosperity, spirit, soul, and body.
 
     "Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]." (3 John 1:2)
     "For wisdom is better than rubies; And all desirable things cannot compare with her.  I, [godly] wisdom, reside with prudence [good judgment, moral courage and astute common sense], And I find knowledge and discretion." (Pro. 8:11-12)
     “I will give you the treasures of darkness [the hoarded treasures]And the hidden riches of secret places, So that you may know that it is I, The Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name." (Is. 45:3)
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.

Good morning,

     Trust me.  Just trust me.  Joseph learned to trust Me even as he went through the things that he endured in his life.  He knew My heart, he knew My call but he did not know the way to the end.  Yet, my plan was good.  So I say trust Me, even when you do not know exactly what is going on, I Am working those things out for you, for your good.  I know the end from the beginning, I Am the divine designer of every plan for you.  I have not messed up, I have not misstepped, I Am steady and I Am faithful even now says the Lord when things seem so cloudy.  Think about My servants, think about how they had to learn to lean upon Me and not trust their own understanding, nor their insight, nor their own wisdom but they leaned on Me.  There are times that you do not know what to do, that is when you must lean on Me for I know, I know the way.  I know how to get you there with the least amount of attacks from the enemy, I know says the Lord.  But it is when you run from the shelter, the secret place that you come under assault and attack from the enemy, but as long as you stay in a hidden place, where I Am working things out.  Trusting Me, looking to Me as a child does to their Father, knowing that I have nothing but your highest interest in My heart.  There is nothing that you are going through that I have not allowed already for the perfecting of you, some are hard to bear I know, but just like Joseph, I will deliver you from the pit.  It is all about you growing up, maturing, and being strong and being steady.  I will not let you fail, I will not let you fall, I will uphold you by My right hand of justice, I will not let go.  Stay steady and stay strong for this is the season of testing and blessing for My children but your eyes must be on Me, not on celebrities, not on man, not even on those that are well known in My camp.  Keep your eyes on Me for I Am the way and I will lead you in the way everlasting, I will not let you fail.

     "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby: If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious" (1 Peter 2:2-3)
     "You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fulness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore." (Ps. 16:11)
     "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet fine, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure." (Is. 46:10)

Love,

Good morning,
     During a time of worship, these words were given.  Our prayer is that it
ministers and encourages you to step into a deeper walk with the
Father.
     Chains were broken, chains began to fall off, even now, right now because of your worship, your heartfelt, sincere worship.  Those who worship Me from their heart, chains are beginning to break and fall off.  Doors that were closed are now opening wide and if you would only have eyes to see and ears.  Far
too many times your busyness and going about your own cares and your
own business of living have kept you steps away from your answer.  I Am
calling
you aside to open your ears and eyes to your Beloved to see what I want
to reveal to you.  In this season and in this time, for
those who would pull away, pull aside to listen, and to open their ears
to hear and be attentive to My voice and to be attentive to My word, you
will see doors opening for you, with words of wisdom that will give you
needed instructions that will put you over.  For in order
for you to walk through them you have to see them with your spirit eyes,
and as you do says the Lord, nothing will hold you back.  There will be
others, yes there are others who refuse to listen, who
keep their ears closed to My voice and closed to My word and those same
doors will stay closed to them.  But at the same time you
will walk through and you will walk through freely, you will walk
through boldly and you will take what rightfully belongs to you.  This is
the season of restoration to my people, it is not based on what you see
or feel or even what you hear, it is based on the Spirit of the living
God, and My living promise to you.  And I am decreeing and
declaring to you that this is your harvest time, this is your season of
rejoicing as you bring in the sheaves because you have sowed and it is
time to reap.  And some of you are reaping in fields that
you did not plant, and that you did not sow because others have
abandoned those fields, because doubt and unbelief entered into their
hearts and I have turned them over to the faithful ones.  So
get ready, says the Lord, with arms open wide for I Am about to bestow
upon you, it is the token of My affection and My greatness that I give
to My children who are faithfully following Me.  Get ready, says the Lord, this is your harvest time.
  
     "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." (Ps. 126:6)
     "Thus the saying "One sows and another reaps" is true.  I
sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the
hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.” (John
4:37-38)
     "I know your deeds. See, I have placed before
you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name." (Rev. 3:8)
 
Love,

Pastor D.

Thank You
