Good Morning,

“The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle…” (Ecc. 9:11).  “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize?  So run to win…” (1 Corin. 9:24).  Therefore since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.  And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.  We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” (Hebrews 12:1,2)

We all can sense the heaviness of despair and discouragement that has tried to seep into the hearts of believers.  I am reminded of David who cried out, “Why am I so discouraged?  Why is my heart so sad?  I will put my hope in God!  I will praise Him again – my Savior and my God.” (Psalm 42:5).

During difficult times, David chose to hope and praise God afresh and again.  Listen to Jesus as He tells us  the climate during the times of the end.  “Sin will be rampant everywhere and the love of many will grow cold.  But the one who endure to the end shall be saved.” (Matt. 24:12,13).

    We must not let our hope be put off to some future day, we must place hope, fresh, new hope everyday in God and in His Word.  He gives us fresh new mercies every morning, so we ought to offer God the same.  Mercies for hope!!  Jesus said those who endure—-{to undergo patiently, tarry, have fortitude, never give up, to stay and abide} to the end shall be saved.  This world depicts the attitude of a person who is under a heavy load but refuses to surrender to defeat, because he knows he is in his place.  “Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.” (2 Timothy 2:3,4)  

We must try and keep our focus on the eternal plan of our kingdom and not get so weighted down by these present sufferings of this temporal world or our temporary situations.  The glory that is to come and the glory that is soon to be seen in the children of God will far outweigh any present sufferings, for it is temporary.  Remember the enemy is trying to get your love for God to grow cold, through outward pressures of living.  We are wiser than that!

    The Spirit says: You are in your place, the place of transition and transformation.  I have brought you here.  Stand firm!!  The place where I will come along and speak to you the sweet words of encouragement that you long to hear, stand still.  Listen carefully, My words will change every fiber of faith that reside on the inside of you.  Doubt, unbelief and discouragement will flee from you.  Don’t you know that our enemy is afraid of you, who you are in Me.  This is the reason he tries to stop you in the middle of your transition.    He knows that I am doing a supernatural change in you.  You will arise from the place of depression, for this is not your place, it is too tight for My child.  You will be raised up with a renewed vision.  A giant “believing believer” shall arise from this cocoon.  You are in a state of metamorphosis, the real you is about to be revealed!!!  You will come out looking just like Me.  You will be brought to the place of, “open fields”, where I will enlarge and strengthen you.  You are a strong victorious champion in Me.  I see the end from the beginning and I know that your end is good.  I see you standing and waving your victory banner.  Lift up your hands to me and I will lift you up.  As long as you keep your eyes on Me,  I will bring you to the finish.  Do not put your trust in that arm of flesh, lean totally on Me.  As you lean on Me, you will receive with clarity of vision and hearing the steps that you must take.  Your eyesight and your hearing have transcended to a higher level, because you have been purified of the blockages.  You are advancing! You are advancing!

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

So be encouraged. There is not ever a battle that I Am involved in that you lose, you always win. I never stop, that I Am constantly working on your behalf even to the end. That is what My Word says, even till the end I Am working. So do not give up hope. Don’t allow the enemy to steal the very thing that anchors you in your faith, your hope. Stand and having done all stand therefore, knowing that you are equipped for everything that the enemy throws at you, because I Am an overcomer, so are you. You will overcome everything that he throws at you. There is nothing, I do not care how insignificant or how powerful the problem or circumstance is that he throws against you, that I Am not able to come against and have already made a way of escape and I have already provided for you the answer. For I Am the answer, I Am the way, there is nothing that can come against Me. I go before you so understand when the enemy comes against you, I Am before you, and behind you, so nothing can touch you that I have not dealt with.   I have you safely secured in My arms. There is no one, no enemy, not one of his cohorts that can come against you, that will succeed as long as you stay nestled in My arms. There is no weapon, not one that will prosper, do you hear Me, it will not succeed? So hold your head up high, knowing who you are, that you are already a conqueror, that you have already surpassed everything that the enemy can throw at you. You are a mighty warrior of God and know who you are, so continue to fight. Yes, fight with My word, fight in praise, and fight in worship, knowing that you are an overcomer. Knowing that you are victorious, knowing that I have already conquered anything that you would ever face. I Am the overcomer! I Am the Almighty God! I Am the one who has defeated the enemy! I Am God and there is none like Me and there is no one like you.

“Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] countenance, and my God.” (Psalm 43:5)

“Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God” (Ephesians 6:13-14)

“The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!” (Exodus 15:2-3)

Good morning, 

My people, do not become dull and sluggish concerning your spiritual gifts. I have given you gifts to bring forth spiritual insight. Each one of My children has a specific part of the puzzle to make a whole. What I need for you to do is wake up from the deep slumber that the enemy has kept you in. He desires that you become overwhelmed with living your daily lives so that you cannot fulfill your part. Know this, I will cause a refreshing, a wake-up call and alarm to go off. Wake up, My bride. 

 So when you wake up, things are going to come back to life. All those spiritual gifts that I placed on the inside of you that have been buried by circumstances and living, are going to come back to life. ~


Arise My loved one and come forth to do and be what I planned. You will arise and truly shine boldly declaring My truth. You will cause My shaking to come just by waking up to My holiness and purity. As you wake up, you will be dressed in the necessary armor for the battle. You will go forth and bring back those who have lost their way, assembling My saints for the rebirth of all things. The confusion and cloudiness of your mind will pass over. You will be alert to those buried giftings and abilities that I placed in you. You will begin to prepare the way for many to join the last day saints shaking off the fear and uncovering the truth, by doing so you will be the watchman on the wall. You will be bold against any onslaught of the enemy. In the coming months during the seasons and times of Passover, you will be bolder.  I will pass over My people giving to them a shade amid difficult times, a covering of safety for all who call on My name. Know that as you arise you will go forth in power and authority saving those who will call on My name in this hour. These are the days of great peril and at the same time great harvest for you will be a beacon of light shining in the midst of darkness. Many have fallen away because they have loved this world and what it offers more than meat in My kingdom but know this many are coming in the end of days. You will ignite a flame that will burn long after you are gone. Wake up My children and do the greater works that I have anointed you for. You will not be afraid of the terror or the destruction for you know the benefits of abiding. Nothing shall harm you, you go in boldness, power, and be fearless for these are My days. My angels have been given an assignment for you. I will deliver you and set you up on high. No more weariness no more tiredness, awaken to the beauty of My holiness.

“Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ].” (Romans 13:11)

“And we desire for each one of you to show the same diligence [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] imitators of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] inheriting the promises.” (Hebrews 6:11-12)

“For this reason He says,“Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.”Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil. (Ephesians 5:14-16)

Good morning, 

I see Angels dressed for battle. I see a host too innumerable to number and as they are dressed, they are singing. They are singing they are singing over us now.  They are singing over Israel now and over us now.  Pray for my people that their eyes may be opened. That they may see and know Jesus, Yeshua Hamashiach. That they may know that there is more for them than there is against them. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” (Psalm 122:6) “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,” ( Hebrews 12:22). 

You have matured some since the first time that you met Me, and I have wanted to show you more than what you have been able to see.  Because you have allowed your flesh to usurp the authority of the Spirit, it has been a slow process. I have kept things back so that you would not be consumed. I Am saying to you right now, crucify your flesh, crucify and deaden its power so that I may reveal to you what you need to know in the hour that you are in now. So that you can open your eyes and see what I Am doing and be right there in sync with Me in Spirit, that we might accomplish what we need to accomplish in this hour. It is a crucial time and hour that we are in, and I need My people to have their eyes open so that you can see what I Am showing you. Open your eyes and hear what the Spirit is saying.  The Spirit is speaking expressly to my people in this moment, hear what I Am saying, I Am not double-minded. Everything I say comes from My Word, everything that I Am doing now comes from My Word. And I want to unveil and uncover the things that you need for this hour, that you need to understand, that you need to pray and come in sync with. So that we might accomplish quickly the work that needs to be done. I have been crying to My people for years and years to grow, to mature and it is not so that you can say, “I am grown”, but it is so that I can speak to you those things that only the mature can handle.  It is time to grow, it is time to deaden the flesh, its power, and its ability. That means you are going to have to walk in the supernatural things of love. So that I can speak to you, past your flesh and your feelings and your emotions so that then you can do the supernatural. This is the time that we were in, and I have raised up warriors. Get in line, even as my heavenly host is syncing in line. Get in line.

“Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation” ( 1 Peter 2:2)

“For I am the Lord; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed (come to pass); it shall be no more delayed or prolonged, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it, says the Lord God.” (Ezekiel 12:25)

“So then, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh [we are not obligated to our carnal nature], to live [a life ruled by the standards set up by the dictates] of the flesh.For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever.” (Romans 8:12-13)

Come away and draw close to me, I want to prepare you for the difficult days ahead. 

 
Good morning.
 
    Come away and draw close to me, I want to prepare you for the difficult days ahead.  Many of my dearest little ones will be caught off guard because they refuse to listen to My voice, they have been hearing the voices of many false prophets.  They are saying, "all is well, and you have nothing to be warned about."  Yet, I have placed watchmen on the walls, who have seen the perils from afar, and have been declaring to all that will have ears to hear, to hear what the Spirit is saying.  No, do not regulate your life by fear, you must always live by faith, trusting My Word.  You should be familiar with the chamber of My room, where I reveal and make known all secrets to My holy ones.  My Word is true, all of it is true.  It is your map and clearly shows where we are and where we are headed.  It is all good to those who have put their trust in Me.  Warnings are not to bring fear, but in order that you may be aware.  Your preparation, should be to become sensitive to My voice, get used to hearing the sound of Me.  I will lead you to the still and peaceful waters, even in the midst of the storms of life.  I Am your hiding place, your safe haven.  So don't be dismayed when you see what will come upon the earth.  It has always been coming to this.  Those who have made me their Refuge will see the pressure rising and building over the wicked and the evil, but it will not be able to touch My faithful ones.  I have been a Shield to all who know Me as a Warrior and to all who have allowed Me to fight for them in past battles.  Wake up to the cry of My prophets that run with My Word, you will recognize My voice.  I Am all that is desired and needed by My loves, a strong fortress to them, while the rich have trusted in their wealth as their high wall.  Everything that has been erected and built by all other gods will come down, every high place that was built by this Babylon system will experience a crash.  Men that doubt Me and My Word have already built up a new system to lean and trust on.  Their wisdom will be exposed as complete folly, yet they will only see it has higher intelligence.
    In the midst of these perilous times, water, rain, and the wind will blow My loves from their places of obscurity.  They will become vibrant once again with new life to spring up with fresh wells of revelation, insight, worship and understanding of the times and seasons.  Arising with abilities that will bypass their natural capacity to sustain and cause them to prosper even in the time of famines.  They will dream with clearer definition and awaken with understanding.  The visions they see will give them deeper insight into the next steps that must be taken to bring them to a place where they are inaccessible to the climate around them.   Their worship will come from those deep wells that have been untapped, but now the thirst for more will require them to draw more.  Sharpen your blade, strength requires you to be sharp now!  The wisdom you receive from Me will help you to succeed.  I have sent My armies from heaven to be at your aid, for My holiness will be displayed by My righteous ones.  You, My loves will be My pride and My glory!
 
    "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence.  In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]" (John 16:33)
 
    "And of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs; and all their kinsmen were under their command;" (1 Chron. 12:32)
 
    "But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law." (Heb. 5:14)
 
    "And He has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand has He hid me and made me a polished arrow; in His quiver has He kept me close and concealed me." (Is. 49:2)

 I do not just lift you once, but it is a continual process of lifting higher and higher than the circumstances that you face.

 
Good morning,
 
    I do not just lift you once, but it is a continual process of lifting higher and higher than the circumstances that you face.  I  hear many of My children crying, saying that these are strange and unusual battles, but there is nothing strange and unusual to Me.  I saw these days before they came, and I made a plan for you, a plan of success and victory, a plan of My glory being seen and risen upon you in the midst of what you are going through.  For I Am the God who walks you through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not leave you I will not forsake you.  I will, in fact, crown you with all My glory, so that everything that you are facing you come out ahead.  I have anointed you for this season.  I knew this season was coming.  There is nothing that has taken place that I have not already prepared for you the way of escape, and not only to escape but to carry captive every thought and reasoning that would try to exalt itself against you.  Every man and woman who will yield themselves to My provision I will provide for them in an absolutely amazing way.  Supernatural things I will do and I Am doing it even now.  For even in this moment, as you look around and see, I say to you, there is more that is for you than could ever be against you.  I have sent My angels from on high to rescue, save, deliver, and instruct them in every way, that is what I have done.  So yield yourself to the help that I have given you and you will succeed in every step that you take and every step shall be on the path of righteousness, you will not veer off, not to the left or to the right, you will have your eyes fixed on Me and I will bring you to that promise.  I will bring you to the Word that I have spoken to you over and over again, I have not forgotten My promises concerning you, they are on My heart so that they may weigh heavy on yours, so do not forget the promises that I have given you but that you hold them uppermost in your heart and mind.  For I Am accomplishing even those greater things on the inside of you so that it might be seen, so that many might come to the burning and exalting of you as they see the glory being raised up and exalted in the midst of My people.  This is what I have promised and given you.  This is the season that you will shine and bring glory to My kingdom.  You will not quit, you will not give up but you shall begin to advance even more says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  My glory will rest upon you in the night season, it will come upon you in the difficult time, you will know for a fact that it is not you for it will be supernatural and you will keep going on even when others have stopped.  You will run on says the Lord for I have anointed you for the time and the season.  So give Me glory and praise and honor in the midst of all things and I will lift you up, I will exalt you, I will see to it says the Lord that you are raised up in the midst of everything going around.  For you trust Me and I put My favor on those who trust in Me and I will crown every effort with success on behalf of My children.
 
    "If your faith remains strong, even while surrounded by life’s difficulties, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God!  True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every lover of God!" (James 1:12)
 
    "Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am.  I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance.  I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want.  I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]." (Phil. 4:11-13)
 
    "For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear].  But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently." (1 Corin. 10:13)

 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.  

Warrior-quotes
 
Good morning,
 
     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 awakened from the slumber that this world system lulled them into.  Now they 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 use the storms of life to cause them to mount up higher.  For I, the Lord have strengthened 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 has 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. 

     
     "Take [with me] your share of the hardships and suffering [which you are called to endure] as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him." (2 Tim. 2:3-4)
     "Through God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries." (Ps. 60:12)
     "But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.  When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. (Is. 43:1-2)
 
Love,
