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)

Good morning,

There is a “sonic boom”, that is about to be heard and felt. A supernatural sound that will shake the world, but the greatest effect will be heard and felt in My house. I am going to shake My “fruit” trees to get all that is ripe and ready to be enjoyed by Me and others. Those who have been pruned by Me time and time again. I have covered them and blanketed My “fruit” trees so that the heat and drought could not keep them from producing. These “fruit” trees have been yielding to the work of My hands, hands that are gentle and firm. I am firm in that I have kept them from withering from the heat of living and My gentleness has made them great. In the days ahead they will provide the same kind of shade and covering for others that I gave to them. The lost, and even those who have trusted in their strength, who dwell in My house, will begin crying for covering from the heat of their lives. You, My yielded “fruit” trees that have been growing almost unnoticed by those around you will help them find My shade. You have gathered strength, stability, wisdom, and insight from staying close to Me. Now, when it is least expected you will stretch out your branches to all those who are being burnt by their ways. To them, it will look like you grew suddenly, yet all along you have yielded to Me and My ways, growing stronger, little by little. I have been preparing you for this season. It is your time to shine! So arise and let all see what I have done in you. Let them come and taste of you and see that the Lord is good. This “sonic boom” will blast through the darkness, causing great light to shine bringing fresh understanding for you. It will blast away the gloom and break your atmosphere into the songs of the angels that surround you. The difficulties that you have experienced will be made into stairways of light and glory. You will get the revealing words and information that I have been speaking to you all this time, but it was hard for you to hear. I have enlarged you, so stretch out! Rapidly, as the sonic causes shock waves so it will be for you My faithful ” fruit” trees,” you will send shockwaves through this world.. You have come forth for your prepared time!

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalm 1:3

Good morning,

You have been seeing blessings and battles, a combination of them together. You have gone from trials and tribulations to victories from victories to trials and tribulations. You are always asking Me to make it smooth for you and I say to you that this is the way of a warrior. That is the way you fight from blessings to battles and from battles to blessings, from trial and tribulation to victory. I always provide a way of escape during battle, trial, or tribulation. Hold your head up high, do not allow the enemy to cause you to look down but keep your eyes looking up for all the time I Am working things out for you. During every battle, you are always blessed. Every trial and tribulation turns to a victory as long as you remember all of your blessings. I Am working on your behalf to bring you to your promise land. Remember Job and everything that he went through, you understand that the enemy came for his words. He is coming after your words too and in the end, everything turned out for Job’s good because he learned how to fight in the midst of the battle and not give up. You know how to stand on My Word and not be moved too. So the blessings are on the way. Be strong and victorious for every promise I have given you is yes and amen!

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy” (1 Peter 4:12-13)

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Good morning,

This is the generation that I’ve been waiting for.

Those who are seated with Me in heavenly places.

Those who can see things before they happen because they trust in Me.

They have ears to hear and eyes to see things before they come to pass says the Lord.

I Am opening up mysteries to a generation who are catching up to Me and who are hungry for Me. They will open their ears and eyes and know that I Am downloading secrets to succeed in the days ahead.

I have invited you into the secret council of the most high God. I Am revealing to you things that other generations, your ancestors wish they would have known. You are going to carry out My plan in a fresh new way, in a powerful way. I Am placing on you a fresh new robe, an anointed robe. A robe where you can walk through the fires of this world through trials and tribulations and not allow the flames to touch your anointing because you are hidden in Me. You have been pursuing Me for a while and you have found the secret place.

Those who are hungry and thirsty I said that I would fill to overflowing. I invite all who are outside of My protection to come under My mighty arms and be inaccessible to the forces of darkness. Those who know their God will be strong and do mighty exploits in the times that are ahead. These are My children, My own My very own that are taken underneath My wings that cover them and shield them from the things that are coming upon the earth before I come and bring My children away to the place that I have prepared for them. I have been longing to take My own to Myself. And those who are prepared and ready I will receive. My children stay steady. Stay in My love and My presence. Stir yourself up in the Word. Everything that you have walked through with My Word will cause you to become stronger and wiser. That enemy of ours desired to use those things to cause you to stumble and fall but I turn those very trials to your good and benefit. I will bring you closer to Me if your eyes are on Me not on the things of this world for they will surely pass away but I Am consistent and faithful to the end. I will never pass away, My words will not falter nor fail you. Again know that the earth may tremble and fail but you stay faithful, for I Am faithful to you. Pursue Me, stay humble, and together We will do great things.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

“I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.” (Psalm 61:4)

“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” (Ephesians 2:6)

Good morning,

I have been speaking to My people for years and it has come to a point where I Am telling you once again to draw near to Me. I said I have given you years, two years to be clearer and it is not about compiling or stockpiling up things. You can build your barns and fill them to the roof and in a moment it could all be destroyed. What I have required of you is that you build your relationship with Me. I have torn the veil in two so that you can easily come into My presence. There is not a great abundance of requirements. It is just simply stepping into Me. Angels are ascending and descending on your behalf that has never changed. I Am always working on your behalf. So as the doors are open, as the veil has been ripped, come in, and that is what I Am requiring you to learn in this time that I have given you, to come in. Everything you need is in Me. It is not in this world. This world does not have enough for you. This world is running headlong into great darkness. I Am the All Sufficient One. I meet all of your needs according to My riches in glory, you need not look to this world as your provider, healer, or counselor. All of the dependency on this world’s support must be shifted to Me and I Am more than enough. The foundation of this world will be shaken from the core, and the rulers of this world will come to naught as will the system that has been deteriorating from the inside. Everything you need, I Am. I Am requiring you to learn how to bring yourself and others into that secret place, into your hiding place. So learn how to come into Me and how to take this time to press into Me. For those who worship Me in spirit and truth, they are in that secret place, and in the secret place, you will find all that you need. So in all this time that I have given you, it is for you to learn the secret of knowing Me, it is to draw near to Me and draw close to Me. For in drawing nearer and closer to Me then you hear everything that I Am speaking to you in the moment and it is priceless. It is worth it all to have information and insight in every direction needed from Me your Father. A Father that takes care of His own. I Am not moved by the insufficiencies of the world’s system nor Am I moved by the prosperity of the world’s systems, for I Am El Shaddai.

”But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19)

”His voice shook the earth [at Mount Sinai] then, but now He has given a promise, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the [starry] heaven.” Now this [expression], “Yet once more,” indicates the removal and final transformation of all those things which can be shaken—that is, of that which has been created—so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe; (Heb. 12:26-28)

”I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you.” (Phil. 3:14-15)

Good morning,

Do not stand aloof from Me in this season of your life. It is the time of drawing very close to Me in order to hear My instructions and directions for your life. It is not time for choosing your own plans and ways. Now more than ever it is My plans for you that must prevail in your life. All this time I have been bringing you to the place of surrender. Surrendering your plans for Mine. Sometimes when you thought you were surrendered, you were still holding on to your plans.

The system of this world is rapidly decaying, it is drawing itself up like an old ancient scroll. The lease is almost up and now the whole world awaits the rising of the sons of God to take their place. All creation is waiting on you. Rise to righteousness, My way of doing right. You have gone down a winding road and have almost forgotten to be driven by your eternal purpose. I Am soon to come for a spotless church. So, wash yourselves through and by My Word. It is not grievous or hard to do. I can no longer tolerate your indecisive ways or your desire to keep wandering around in immaturity. This is a season of purging and pruning. Cutting and severing yourselves from the love of this world system. It is time to grow up. I have narrowed your way with constrictions and I have hedged you round about. Look to Me, your Redeemer and your Deliverer. The affair with this world system will be severed. Your dependency on My Word and obeying My voice must be your necessary food. You can not have two lovers, one will become less loved. I Am a jealous God, I alone must be your God.

I Am now taking the position as the Lord of your life, which means obedience to My ways. I know the way through the valleys as well as through the mountains, so stay near. I discipline and teach My people from My Word. I give you peace and in the midst of troubles. I also judge and discipline nations at the same time. That time has come upon the earth. The cries of My people have come up to Me. My judgment is pure and right. Blessed are the ones that I discipline and those who yield and learn from My discipline. I discipline those I love. I stand against those who stand against My Word. For those who have made Me their trust, I will never abandon. After the divine time set aside for refining and purging you will come forth as pure gold. Rare and unique.

“My son, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you. Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart.” (Proverbs 3:1-3)

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.” (Hebrews 12:5-6)

“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:26-28)

Good morning,

I cover you with a weighted blanket of love and it is because you worship Me and love Me, that you have found the secret place which is My chambers. It is the place where nothing and no one can enter unless I invite them in and you found it through intimate worship of Me. Serenades of love to Me and I receive them and I in turn cover you with the weightiness of My glory. In this place of safety is where you can be secure. In this place of safety you can lift up those cares, all of those things that I said to cast on Me because I care for you. Those things that you have tried to fix on the outside of the glory realm and My presence as well as those outside of My chambers. Know that you were never meant to carry them. There is nothing that is too difficult or too hard for Me. Those things that you find too much for you are meant for Me to speak to. So I say cast every care over on Me and you will experience this weightlessness of being so close to Me. So come in to Me. Come and sit and sup with Me. Find this place daily for it is My desire for you to grow from glory to glory to glory, where the cares of this world no longer affect you like they have in the past. Then you know My heart and My secret is for you to be in Me where nothing affects you. Staying here will keep you sensitive to Me so that when I come I will find faith in you. This year you are required to walk in My love. It has power to open doors that have been closed in your life. Living in My love lifts you above all who have not had My love poured abroad in their hearts. I will teach you higher wisdom and you will walk in this shield of My love. It is a covering love because you will not hold oughts that have bound you for years. The oil of forgiveness will flow from your heart. Your heart will be filled with My love which will empower you to keep and walk in My Word, no longer being deceived by the unrenewed heart. The empowerment of My love will cause you to walk in My gifts of power. Those who draw close will have signs and wonders following them able to fulfill their destiny and purpose of living.

“He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions, And under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.” (Psalm 91:4)

“Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too difficult or too wonderful for You” (Jeremiah 32:17)

“Behold, I stand at the door [of the church] and continually knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him (restore him), and he with Me. He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], I will grant to him [the privilege] to sit beside Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down beside My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:20-21)

Good morning,

Goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life, that is My word. You have not begun to see the goodness, but My mercy is new every morning. It usually is not seen or acknowledged by My children. The plots and plans of the enemy are to kill, steal, and destroy, I come to give you life and that more abundantly. It is My mercy giving life daily, thwarting all of the enemy’s plan of destruction. I will open your eyes to see how merciful I Am towards you every day. I Am a great lover. There is nothing that I have not done that did not come from the place of love for you. I have always sought you out, always done what was good for you. I draw you closer every day with My goodness, which is joy, beauty, good things, and prosperity in every area of your life. I Am always, always beckoning you to come close. Amid everything that you go through in your life, I Am the only one who will never forsake you, never leave you. I will not abandon you or leave you helpless and hopeless. For I Am the God of all hope and encouragement, and I Am always trying to bring you up higher, all I need from you is a yielded heart, and I will do the work that I designed and purposed before you were even born. Which is a greater call, a greater anointing, a greater advancement than you could ever know. I Am willing, waiting, and desiring to pour out blessings in your life that you will not have room enough to receive. There are blessings in you that will cause you to be blessed on the outside and that is why I Am overloading it, overpouring on the inside of you more of My blessings, understanding, insight, and wisdom. Abilities that you did not possess I Am giving to you now so that in the days ahead, you might know who you really are and be able to stand against the wiles of the enemy and know your Father and know your God. I Am faithful to My promise, faithful to do exactly what I said I would do amid anything that comes in your life. I Am still faithful.

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” (Psalm 23:6)

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

“A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” ( Proverbs 28:20)

Do not allow your feelings to lead or guide you. Now you must live by faith, which is not feeling-based.

Good morning,

Do not allow your feelings to lead or guide you. Now you must live by faith, which is not feeling-based. Here is where you must lean your entire personality over on Me and keep your hand and your eyes on Me. Decisions made now centered on your feelings will surely end in ruin and disaster. Hear My voice clearly and watch My steps also. Know Me and My Word, for those who once followed Me and did not truly love Me will find it difficult to hold on. So it may seem as if you are walking alone, but remember I always have many that have not bowed their knee to the god of this world. I am restoring joy and strength to many that stood through the difficult tests and trials, those who have endured hardness as My soldiers will shine forth as a great city of light. Instead of failing, they have learned how to overcome by the blood and the Word of their testimony. When tested, tempted, and tried they withstood the enemy's beguiling voice of deceit. As in any war, it is the front-liners who are assaulted the most. Yet, when they outlast all attacks, they receive the greatest reward and spoils. Rewards of honor and valor, are things that distinguish them from all others who march alongside them.

Do not let the tactics of the wicked one cause you to become offended, for many of your loved ones may lend their members to offend in this season. Many who oppose Me may be found in your own household, these are signs of the times and of My soon return. You must keep on walking to higher places in Me. Run with those who are running to win, not those who have let the love of this world's system overtake their love for Me. Remember I have foretold you that people would be lovers of themselves, haters of those who do good. So you must subdue your feelings, for the enemy desires for you to make strategic moves based only on what you feel. You must realize that these choices would cause chaos in your life. Now is when you must pursue the enemy with the Word, war with the promises that I have given unto you. My Word will stand through it all, every violent attack against you was sent as a missile to bring you down. I expect My warriors to rise with the weapons of warfare that I have placed at your disposal. They are mighty to bring you through to victory! Stay safe underneath the shadow of My wings!

"If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you.If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world [no longer one with it], but I have chosen (selected) you out of the world, the world hates (detests) you." (John 15:18-19)

"For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2 Tim. 3:2-5)

"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)

Do you not see in your mind’s eye, all of the witnesses that surround you are brethren of the faith? They have gone through some of the same trials that you have gone through and even more.

Good morning,

Do you not see in your mind's eye, all of the witnesses that surround you are brethren of the faith? They have gone through some of the same trials that you have gone through and even more. Able was killed for his righteousness, Stephen was stoned for his righteousness but it did not alter their confession of faith. I Am saying to you that you may look like David, where everyone has turned their back on you be like him and encourage yourself in Me. I will bring you out because you have gone through and I have tested you and I am testing the quality of who you are. Like David, I will cause you to be above your brethren around you as you put your trust in Me. Hear My voice, you will come forth as pure gold. I am doing a great work in you, and you will see in the end that I Am faithful to my promise. Though 10,000 set themselves against you, they shall see you come out above them. I will bring it to pass because I surround you with My favor. When the enemy comes against you one way, I shall cause them to flee seven ways. I Am your mighty warrior.

The enemy has no stronghold or foothold against you that will succeed because you have put your trust in Me. I will cause that very enemy to be your footstool and use their assault to fit into My purpose that I plan for you. It will come to pass. I Am faithful to watch over My Word to perform it. Yes, I have sent witnesses to see to it, to make sure that it turns for your good says the Spirit of grace. I have given you everything that pertains to life and godliness. Everything, even ministering angels lift up your hands when they are heavy and they hang down by the side. I have given you my precious, Holy Spirit, He is the lifter of your head. I have given you My Word, which will never be shaken.

As you trust Me, I see your humility and the humble man is the one that I lift up. Precious Holy Spirit has come alongside to lead and guide you into all truths. He is more intimate with you than any man. So, I have sent him to lift you up in times of testing and trial. He is the great helper, to see to it that you go on, putting one foot in front of the other until you come and possess your promise. I will not fail you so keep your head held up. We will not fail you, the ministering Angels shall not fail you, Holy Spirit shall not fail you and my Word shall not fail you. We will see to it that you come forth as pure gold.

"But He knows the way that I take [He has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold [pure and luminous]." (Job 23:10)

"The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways." (Deut. 28:7)

"Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you," (1 Peter 5:6)
