March 1, 2024 – Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,

  I have set you aside for the times and seasons that you are in now and in the coming days ahead. Just like My sons of Issachar, you can discern times and seasons. That is why I have been calling you to draw closer to Me. I need you dwelling under the secret place of your God for underneath My wings is where you are prepared and you learn to hear My voice for clarity, directions, and instructions for the days ahead. Just as I prepared Samuel from a child to lead and bring clarity directions and instruction for his times and his seasons, I Am doing that right now for you. I Am faithful to prepare and to give My true prophets My word for the hour. The alarm of warning has been sounded from My holy mountain. Many of My children have allowed the times that they are living in to cause dullness to their hearing, but for those who are Mine, I Am now preparing for the most fruitful season that they have ever known. So know that part of My preparation is cutting away from your life those things, people, and habits that hinder your productivity. This is the process of producing the trees of righteousness. Pruning causes clarity of mind and heart. I Am God and all that I do is for your good to bring in the end the highest from your life. Do not doubt that you are in My hands and everything that I Am doing will turn out for your good. So sit underneath My shade and you will arise and your light will begin to shine, making the steps that you need to take like a raised highway. Every step will be sure as you come up to My high places to hear and obey. 

“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.” (1 Chronicles 12:32)

“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” ( John 15:2-4)

“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” ( Isaiah 61:3)

January 5, 2024 – Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,

    As you choose to draw nearer to Me by consecrating your hearts afresh and renewing the fires in your heart this year you will be set ablaze. My glory will begin to consume and destroy things out of your lives and hearts that should have been expelled years ago. This glory will separate the godly from the profane, for My people have been found trying to blend both the godly and the profound. The judgment that started during the time of COVID will intensify and many will be mercifully removed, some removed because of tainting My Word and mixing it with demonic teaching. Some simply following others’ teachings, and still others were fully aware but because of trying to build their own kingdom, not Mine, which made them gullible to the lies of the enemy. For I have been long-suffering and tolerant, not desiring that any should perish but that they should come to everlasting life through repentance. I have put up with the lies, the misuse, and the abuse of My people and now I Am calling for holiness. Cleansing will begin in My house. I Am holy and all who say that they are Mine must be holy too. Those who recognize My call to righteousness will hear, obey, repent, and make straight paths for their feet. Many will not hear and they will be removed. Time is running out for continually missing the mark. My house will return to their first love in purity and righteousness. I will remove all the lying prophets as well. Those who have said, “Thus saith the Lord” and I have not spoken to them. Many following the prophets who spoke those lies, repeated the same lies. To My sheep that have continued to pursue Me, I will say to you, do not be hearers only but become doers of My word. I Am coming for a church without spot or wrinkle, one who hears and does My word. Those ways of yours that are not My ways, take them to the altar and burn them up. No more excuses for playing with sin and weaknesses of the flesh. I have fully supplied you with everything necessary to see to it that you become like Me. Wash yourself thoroughly with My Word, and come out from among them and be separate, a vessel prepared and used for My glory.

“Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things. They have made no distinction between the sacred and the secular, neither have they taught people the difference between the unclean and the clean and have hid their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves rending and devouring the prey, shedding blood and destroying lives to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them over with whitewash, seeing false visions and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord God—when the Lord has not spoken.” (Ezekiel 22:26-28)

“So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor,” (2 Corinthians 6:17)

And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked?” (1 Peter 4:17)

Love,

Pastor D.
