 I have warned my people in advance through my Word about the End-Times and the assault that would come to try and bring discouragement. 

Cold-love
 
Good morning,
 
    I have warned my people in advance through my Word about the End-Times and the assault that would come to try and bring discouragement.  Each assignment is to try and seduce my children into a slumber or catatonic condition where they are slow to act upon My word.  The aim is to beguile My people away from Me.  This will cause many of the great ambassadors, generals, and strong ones in My House to grow cold.  This coldness of their heart will come in varying degrees, you have beheld some of it with your own eyes.  My priests committing adultery, fornication, brothers rising up against brothers, daughters against mothers, sons against fathers, here begins the love of many growing cold.  The spirit of Jezebel has been released, it is creeping into every house where doors have been opened.  This Jezebel spirit is manipulative, and a seducer.  You have watched and seen that the spirit has caused a wicked, deceitful, air of immorality.  What is good is often evil spoken of, and what is evil is applauded.  It works with and accompanies the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, desires that
control the person while making the person "out of control".  Immorality is considered to be normal, for My measuring stick no longer applies.  This is a "pleasure-dominated" generation and it has crept unchecked into My Household because many of My children were being led astray as well.  The spirit of Jezebel is stimulated by the pride of life, it breeds self-righteousness.  Pride will not tolerate being corrected or being taught.  Self-righteousness causes one to become hard of heart and to always think that they are right.  Pharaoh walked in this stronghold.  It does not matter how many miracles were done, he still did what he wanted to do even to his death.  This spirit will delude one into a believable lie and trap them there.  They will think small of everyone else and as this root goes deeper it will become a critical and cynical yeast that will infect many in My House.  Cut it off, by washing on overload with my Word of love.
    That is why I have been calling you to come up higher, so that you may be safe and hidden from the enemy's strategies.  I do not want you to become blind to the ways of the system of the world that is under the sway of the wicked one.  Open your eyes and look and see.  Too many of My people have become entangled with this system and live for things that are brief and fleeting.  The temporal life weighs more on their hearts and minds.  They spend more time on those things that have no eternal value.  Building with wood, hay, and stubble, all of those things that hold very little value and will burn in My Presence.  Quit living only to build bigger and better barns in My Name.  My buildings are souls!  Have I not said that you are My temple, My sanctuary.  I gave all to build living temples.  Stop, and buy of Me gold and silver, that which is costly and valuable to the Kingdom.  Those things have everlasting values.  Come back to Me, and renew your vows by doing My will.  Then your eyes will be opened and you will see all of those "things" are roadblocks and obstacles to My purposes and plans.  Come and build temples with Me!
 
    "For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world." (1 John 2:16)
 
    "Now in a large house there are not only vessels and objects of gold and silver, but also vessels and objects of wood and of earthenware, and some are for honorable (noble, good) use and some for dishonorable (ignoble, common).  Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things [which are dishonorable—disobedient, sinful], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified [set apart for a special purpose and], useful to the Master, prepared for every good work." (2 Tim. 2:20-21)
 
    "According to the [remarkable] grace of God which was given to me [to prepare me for my task], like a skillful master builder I laid a foundation, and now another is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ.  But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will be clearly shown [for what it is]; for the day [of judgment] will disclose it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality and character and worth of each person’s work. If any person’s work which he has built [on this foundation, that is, any outcome of his effort] remains [and survives this test], he will receive a reward." (1 Corin. 3:10-14)

Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirred up around you.

Good morning,
    
     Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirred up around you.  Do not quickly forget what I have said, "in the time of trouble I will hide you safe in My pavilion and under the shadow of My wings."  My desire is that you would learn to keep your eyes and your mind stayed on My goodness to you.  Goodness and mercy are on assignment from heaven to do you good.  You must stay readily accessible by pressing into the hiding place that I have for you.  It is there that you have access to the Kingdom, all that you need for recovery, restoration, and a refreshing.  Yes, I have given to you all that is needful to live a victorious life.
     You are standing at the dawn of your breakthrough, do not be deceived now.  This is where the enemy will pull out all the wicked spirits of offenses, bitterness, and being unforgiving.  Your thoughts and your words you must work on putting a watch on, and cast them down.  You do possess authority over them.  Do not let idle, fruitless and harsh words and thoughts fill your mind and heart.  Remember your fight is not against people, but against principalities, powers, against rulers of the darkness of this present world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.  They are always trying to get you to fix your mind on things that produce more of the thoughts that brought them down, self destructive thinking.  It is lying vanities of this world, lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life, all of these spirits are self deceiving.  Here is where the spirit of deception will turn my children against one another, fighting in the House, instead of against the enemy.  This will cause you to be defeated when you fight against those who I am for.  In war, many times there is fire sent out that hurt and maul their own allies.  This confusion is a smoke screen to keep you from seeing who the real enemy is, and from receiving what you have labored and believed for.  Press in to knowing Me.  In knowing Me, you would recognize My voice, and not follow a stranger's voice.  Once you step through and learn to keep your mind stayed on Me, the light that you will have will be greater than what you had before the storm came.  What you have glanced at in the shadows shall be clearly known.  I make darkness light, and the crooked places straight!  Keep pressing to know Me better and you will not be deceived by the enemy.  You will discern My voice and My way by My Word, We are One.
 
     “You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both [inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]" (Is. 26:3).
     "In his shelter in the day of trouble, that’s where you’ll find me, for he hides me there in his holiness.  He has smuggled me into his secret place, where I’m kept safe and secure—out of reach from all my enemies." (Ps. 27:5)

     "For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, [lust of the flesh) the allurement of the things of the world, (lust of the eyes) and the obsession with status and importance (pride of life) —none of these things come from the Father but from the world.(1 John 2:16)

Do not come down from the wall of assignment that I have called you to build upon.  Continue to follow through with what I have spoken to you.

Good Morning,
 
     Do not come down from the wall of assignment that I have called you to build upon.  Continue to follow through with what I have spoken to you.  I have given you specific tasks to perform.  Obedience is the key in walking this through to the fullness of all that I have ordained for you to do.  This is the time to occupy, to stand watch over the certain walls that you are anointed to marshal.  With every strategic position I have placed the appropriate body part to achieve the highest potential.  Complete My building that we started together, while you praise Me for My ingenuity.  For I have brilliantly used the things that the enemy tried to bring you down with to cause you to keep your hands to the task.
     It will be the faithful ones that stayed with their assignment that will receive the privilege to open the gates to many entering into the Kingdom.  For even now there is on the horizon a great awakening of those who have had their lights turned off.  The lights that they trusted in and looked to for their leading has dimmed.  The man-made lights that once enlightened their steps and was leading them far off and away from the narrow pathway has been growing faint.  Now they find themselves stumbling in the darkness.  You have the light and you are My children of the light.  This is now the time to shine, shine through the darkness, and bring all those who are wandering into My enlightened steps.  That's why the enemy has tried to confuse you by sending waves upon waves of trouble to reach you, to bring you down from the walls of authority that I placed you on.  I know that you think that I have taken a long time constructing and preparing in order to bring your dreams and desires to pass, but I Am the Finisher.  I will complete everything that I started, and I never forget your labor of love.  What we are building is great and glorious for the Kingdom.
     I delight in you!  Now the enemy is looking at you and he sees that you will not come down, and he is afraid.  He realizes that as you continue to yield to Me, I will come alongside and cause you to finish the assignment that I ordained.  So no matter what you are going through and no matter how it comes to try to bring you down from building, do not fear I will uphold you and teach your hands to war.  I desire to impact this world with My imprint of My Kingdom and I Am doing it through each one of My children.  You wield a great influence, and we can finish in record time, only do not be distracted from your assignment.
 
     "You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Matt. 5:14-16)
 
     "I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]." (Phil. 1:6)
 
     …[looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work]. (Heb. 12:2)

My people are always searching for an “easy word” and an easy way!  Life is hard, you say, and I say, yes, and the enemy of your soul tries to make it tougher than it really is.  I have always tried to strengthen you and make you tougher than anything that might come your way.  Making you well able to endure and outlast whatever you encounter.

Good Morning,
    
     My people are always searching for an "easy word" and an easy way!  Life is hard, you say, and I say, yes, and the enemy of your soul tries to make it tougher than it really is.  I have always tried to strengthen you and make you tougher than anything that might come your way.  Making you well able to endure and outlast whatever you encounter.  Even when you are weak, My strength in you will arise and cause you to be able to go through and come out without the smell of that trouble on you and more wiser than you were before you entered.  My faithfulness to you is great, I will not fail to bring you to completion if you will allow Me.  I need your cooperation to do what is necessary to make you whole.  I have imprinted you upon the palm of My hand, so your name is always before My face, and because My love for you is so deep, I am constantly raising up watchmen to call out your name in prayer.  I do not slumber, so I Am constantly bringing it to pass.  That is why my angels, those that have been assigned to assist and minister to you, will not cease to accomplish their assignment concerning you.  Remember that I have given to you everything to bring you to your divine destiny.  There may be times that this may be held up because of the endeavors of the wicked one, and sometimes things you do, but as long as you will keep your trust in Me, it shall be even as I have spoken it to you.
     I have been removing all that causes you to stumble, so that you can do the work of laboring with Me.  You are the ones that I have ordained to see to it that the devastation of your generation will turn, and be elevated to the city on a hill that I destined you for.  Look past the smoke screen of the wicked one, and all will be made clear to you, you are the Joseph's in your family.   You have been sent ahead in order to save your generation from complete destruction.  It is no small thing that the enemy keeps trying to bring confusion to you and to take you out.  Just as he chased and hounded Joseph to try to make him doubt the call on his life, so the assignment of the enemy remains the same.  Through many trials, test, and tribulations, Joseph prevailed.  His destiny was greater than the testings that he endured, and through it all He became a developed and tested vessel for My glory and My plan to save nations, but especially his own generation of people.  Now you stand in the same place, you are even as Joseph.  You have endured trying and difficult times, accusations from within and without, you have been imprisoned for doing right.  Do not despair, your Helper will bring you out, for your destiny is to save your nation as well.  Many generations are waiting for you to rise up and shine from the dust.  You were brought forth for such a time as this.   I have confidence in you, for you are in My image, I Am a Warrior, and so are you!  The greatest part of you is yet to be seen.  Don't give up!
     "And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations." (Is. 58:12)
     "And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.  But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.  For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them." (Is. 61:5-7)

     "For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them." (Isaiah 61:4-8)
     "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." (2 Corin. 12:9-10)

Love,
