There is nothing known or unknown that has power over My Word.  Every temptation, testing, trial, every snare, every trap that the enemy has laid before you, none hold more power than My Word.  

 
Good morning,
 
    There is nothing known or unknown that has power over My Word.  Every temptation, testing, trial, every snare, every trap that the enemy has laid before you, none hold more power than My Word.   Some of these things you are aware of, others you are walking straight into, know that I Am your Way.  I Am a good Father and I send help from on high.  Hearken to the voice of the ones that I send to speak to you and open greater doors.  
    Look not to the circumstances, look not at whether they are good or indifferent, look not to the circumstances, look only to My word.  For the enemy is a deceiver and he has gone out amongst My people to try to bring the deception into their hearts and into their minds.  He is twisting the very things, even those things that are bad to look good and those things that are even good to look bad.  I Am bringing discernment, a great discernment upon My people so that they can hear, know and walk through these times of testings or temptation, snares, and wicked devices that the enemy has placed  
against My children so that you can soar over them and not be caught up in them.  
    For the great separation has come and I have taken My sickle from heaven, and I have begun to set apart the wheat from the tare.  I know those that are mine and I discern those who are of the deceiver.  I have begun to separate the sheep nations from those that are goats so that My people might know.  I said to know those who labor among you because of the fruit.  Look at the fruit, look at what they are producing.  Do not look at the things that are going on around you look at the fruit that is being produced in you as well. I Am doing a great work in you.  No matter what is laid before you I say test it by the fruit and by My word.  Understand I Am speaking to My children, do not be deceived, a spirit of deception has crept in.  Stand up and discern.  I have placed and given you a spirit of discernment, it is strong on the inside of you even now.  Use it, exercise, yield yourself to the Spirit of the Living God and you will know and when I come I will find you winning, I will find you waiting, I will find you prepared and full of faith says the Lord.  Use what I have given you, every weapon that I have given you against the weapons of the enemy, they are the most powerful things given to mankind so that you can soar and be strong and victorious.  Do not lay down the power that I have given you to usurp the authority of the enemy.  You are more powerful than you will ever know as you yield yourself to the gifts and the great blessings and the weapons that I have placed on the inside of you.  Use them and yield yourself to them.
 
    "Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting." (2 Corin. 4:18)
 
    "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." (Matt. 13:30)
 
    "Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you." (Luke 10:19)

My children continually hurting one another, fighting and bickering over small temporal things that have been destroying their abilities to represent the Kingdom.

 
 
Good morning,
   

  How many times have we heard something and interpreted it out of context that may have caused us plenty of difficulties?  You know the familiar conversation, it goes something like this……" You said ———–!!!!" and the person who was speaking says:…."No, that's not what I said!!!!!" Has that happened to you lately?
    Do you remember the "telephone game" we learned as children, where we would start a conversation by saying a simple sentence and it would be repeated to the next person and on to the next and it would go on until the last person would repeat what they heard?  It would begin by saying something like, "my dog is a black and brown shepherd," by the time it got to the last person it might be, "the shepherd is brown where the black dog bit him."  Well, I learned several things from that exercise: #1 – you can not listen to gossip, it is never complete in truth; #2 – people do not listen intently and last but not least, I came to the conclusion that when you speak there is a force that causes our conversation at times to be misdirected or confused. Ephesians 2:2 makes reference to the "prince of the power of the air (in which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight against the purposes of God).  Later on in Ephesians 6:12, we have a little more insight into this, "prince of the power of air".  Listen, it reads, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places".  So we can see that the devil has a rank of delegated authority, and one of those evil spirits' jobs is the "airwaves".  His sole purpose is to scramble up our communication lines.  He keeps the atmosphere charged with misunderstandings, misinterpretations, dirty filters, poor comprehension, and selfish hearing so that we are constantly dealing with offenses, unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred, anger, deception, and all other kinds of little foxes that spoil our growth in our ability to hear clearly.  I am not saying this is the case every time, but we are told to know the ways of our enemy so that we can be victorious all the time.  We take authority over this low-ranking prince of the power of the air and we say that you will not hinder our ability to hear clearly and or communicate effectively.  We will keep the garden of our heart free of offenses, bitterness, malice, unforgiveness, etc.

Hear what the Spirit says:
    
    "For I am coming for My bride and she must no longer allow spots, wrinkles, or blemishes to continue to grow on her.  These hearing problems have caused so many blemishes in My church.  My children continually hurting one another, fighting and bickering over small temporal things that have been destroying their abilities to represent the Kingdom.  You must cease the wars among My beloved, and direct your attention to the enemy, who pits you against one another.  You must see and understand that a house divided cannot stand, and will end up in self-slaughter.  Stop!  My children, I have given to you all the power over all the power of the enemy, now use your power against the enemy and not against each other.  Love, love, and prefer one another.  Be merciful, tenderhearted, and kind.  Give allowances to one another.  Every time you are hurt by each other, quickly forgive.  Those seeds of forgiveness will return to you on swift wings of My favor to you.  You will grow twice as much because of the mercy you extend.  You will become more mature and more sensitive to Me and My ways you will be alert to follow Me.  This is the way of the Spirit.  Following the high road of love will always cause you to be on top, it is the steps to prosperity that will bring you to good.  Love will mature my bride and keep for her an atmosphere of miracles, wholeness, soundness, and true prosperity.  Love is the atmosphere where I, in My glory abounds.
 
    "Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave." (Eph. 4:32)
 
    "For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is fulfilled in one precept, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].”  But if you bite and devour one another [in bickering and strife], watch out that you [along with your entire fellowship] are not consumed by one another." (Gal. 5:14-15)
 
    "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." (Eph. 5:27)

    I have given many warnings to My people about the times of the end.  You have sat at My table that was prepared for you from the beginning.

Good morning,
 
    I have given many warnings to My people about the times of the end.  You have sat at My table that was prepared for you from the beginning.  You have partaken of My Word that was only sweet to your taste and easy for you to swallow.  Yet, I have referred to My Word as milk, water, bread and meat.  Each has a different texture and each one supplies you with ingredients that are needed for spiritual growth.  You have not trained your palate to desire all that is necessary to be able to endure.  So eat My Word, all of it, and it will begin to cause you to stretch out for more of Me.  Grow up in My Word!  I have described My Word as a hammer, a sword, and fire.  The hammer will deeply embed in you what is needed to keep you stable and immovable.  My sword will cut and sever from you things that have grown in your life that will weaken and infirm your walk of faith.  The fire of My Word will ignite and destroy all that is left that is unacceptable, that would try to grow back. 
   Take heed all those that I Have placed as shepherds over My people.  You are responsible for the preparation of the one-sided unhealthy portions of food that have consistently been fed to My people.  You have caused a spirit of deception and a false-belief system to breed among My church.  You have only wanted to teach what is acceptable and popular to My flock, causing them to be weak and malnourished.  Some of you teachers have made My people believe that I Am a hard taskmaster with very little mercy towards them.  Yet, others have portrayed Me as a God with very little judgment, that just gives to everyone, anything, at their request, as if I was their very own personal genie.  I am rebuking you now, from a place of My love and mercy.  I Am calling you to preach and teach the whole Gospel.  I have warned you about the time when all that people would want is to have their ears and eyes tingled for their own pleasure and delight.  A time that they would not tolerate My sound wholesome Word.  This is that time!  Stay with My Word it is the guidepost that I have given so that you may really know Me.  Stop leaving out, and adding to My Word, stop embellishing for your “person” to be seen.  Stop dishing out this ungodly mush, that does not nourish at all.  Ministers, you must prepare My people with My Word to be able to endure and to be strong in faith.  Religious, preconceived ideas are causing a sleepy, lethargic and non-responsive “body”.  Be not consumed with your own reputation, but with the care and the growth of My house.  My people are My house, build up My house and I will establish yours.  Build with My Word and not with your favorite words.  Build wisely, not with the religious wood, hay and stubble that some foolishly use.  Turn back to My Word with a pure heart.  Empty yourselves of pride, greed, jealousy, hatred, vindication and all manner of evils and return to Me.  Those who will return, I will receive you to My heart and I will multiply back to you once again.  You will make up My holy remnant, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, the set apart ones, the holy vessels of God.
 
     "Is not My word like fire [that consumes all that cannot endure the test]? says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of most stubborn resistance]?" (Jer. 23:29)
     “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God." (Eph. 6:17)
     "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,. Since you have [already] tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord. Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God’s sight. [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable pleasing to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:2-5)
