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)

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)

Take heed My people, My church, and change your ways.  It is time to repent of your lethargic ways and embrace Mine.

Melting-hearts-3-1314176
Good morning,
 
   Take heed My people, My church, and change your ways.  It is time to repent of your lethargic ways and embrace Mine.  You have neglected to love one another and the enemy has sown bitterness and resentment towards each other.  If you will begin to allow My Word to be seated on the throne of your heart then you will have courage and faith to deal with these faults with a decisive mind.  Do not let pride hide the weaknesses that I Am bringing to the surface of your heart, so that you may be healed and delivered.  This is the wicked way of the enemy, to sow tares of deceit and pride.  Now is the time to come under the power of My word for the enemy is sending a strong delusion in order to get My people to believe a lying deceitful spirit.  Do not stop in your pursuit of My love.  I have spoken before and now is the time when the love of many will wax cold, in My house.  This sin is rampant in My house and I Am saying, "enough."  "Clean, clean the temple must be clean."  I want your character and personality to be lovely, and worthy of My Bride.  I will not keep silent until your righteousness shines like a bright torch.  I will not be still until this world is blinded by the beauty and power of "Our" glory.  Some of the beauty that you had in the beginning when your love for Me was fresh and new, has been marred.  For a long time, I have been calling My people to the place of holiness, purging by the washing of My Word.  This is the beauty that I desire and long to see in you.  A dedicated devotion is needed to cause you to keep your eyes only on Me.  I rebuke and chasten those who I love and those who are My own.
    The season of suffering and difficulties I have used to bring out the best in you and to rid you of the refuse.  You must take hold of my grace, it is the ability that you need in order to excel.  Do not become weary in doing My word and keeping My Word, for I will impart to you a double portion of anointing and strength.  Take no stock in your reputation or in what you may have done up until now, for a fresh and new way has come to you.  True humility!  It requires a new level of trusting in Me.  Preparations are being made for you, for I am ahead of you naming your steps before you arrive there.  The time of great war for your souls has come.  Prepare yourselves to endure hardships as soldiers, and do not be easily moved by the outer conditions.  Become stable inside and your outer man will follow.  In the past few years, I have begun to toughen you up, for many of My people were very soft.  Many have only had the milk of My word, feeding on all that delights the eyes and the ears.  Now it is high time for all to grow up spiritually.  I yearn for My people, My church to rise up and become the mature sons of God.  Many will not be able to stand in the days to come if their spiritual diet does not improve.  For man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from My mouth.
 
    "The nations will see your righteousness and vindication [by God] And all kings [will see] your glory; And you will be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord will designate, you will also be [considered] a crown of glory and splendor in the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God.  It will no longer be said of you [Judah], “Azubah (Abandoned),”Nor will it any longer be said of your land, “Shemamah (Desolate)”; But you will be called, “Hephzibah (My Delight is in Her),”And your land, “Married”; For the Lord delights in you, And to Him your land will be married [owned and protected by the Lord]." (Is. 62:2-4)

 
    "Because lawlessness is increased, the love of most people will grow cold.  But the one who endures and bears up [under suffering] to the end will be saved." (Matt. 24:12-13)
 
    "Take with me your share of hardship [passing through the difficulties which you are called to endure], like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.  No soldier in active service gets entangled in the [ordinary business] affairs of civilian life; [he avoids them] so that he may please the one who enlisted him to serve.  And if anyone competes as an athlete [in competitive games], he is not crowned [with the wreath of victory] unless he competes according to the rules." (2 Tim. 2:3-5)

This is a season of resurrection, for I Am always raising things from the dead.

Shutterstock_609086588-1200x784(photo credit: https://see.news)
 
Good morning,
 
    This is a season of resurrection, for I Am always raising things from the dead.  Everything that the enemy dances over in your life, that has been a grave, if I say that it lives, it shall.  All that I have imprinted My name on; it shall arise, it shall live.  I Am raising things from the dead, but in order for things to be raised from the dead, things have to die first.  So I Am allowing things in your life to die that have kept you bound, shackles of the heart and mind, these things must die, so that I can breathe life into the real you.  I Am clearing the field of those things that need to die in order to raise to life all that will cause you to live the purpose-filled, life that I planned for you. Understand this My children, in order to resurrect all I need is a grain of faith.  A mustard seed faith and I will do wonders and miracles in restoring to life any and all things that I speak life to in you, and I will call up things that the enemy thought was dead.  I will perfect that which concerns you.  I Am in the midst of turning what the enemy meant for your harm to your good and you will see it, you will see that day dawn says the Lord.  Everything that the enemy meant for your harm, you will see that day says the Lord, turning for your good.  You will see an uprising of bringing back, a restoration, I Am doing it.  I Am causing those things that were once devastated to come to life again.  That is My promise, that is My plan.  I Am restoring, resurrecting, rebuilding, and refreshing everything for you.  I Am performing a two-fold purpose, I Am breathing life into those things that have died in your life, while killing those that things that should not be living in your life.  Trust me, I know the difference, and after all the dust settles you will be grateful that you put it in My hands.  This is the season of resurrection, this is the season of restoration.  This is the season that I Am bringing it to pass.  Arise, My beloved ones, and look and see that I have placed all things under your feet.  Do not hang your head down low, but understand I Am working in the midst.  I Am doing wonders beyond what you have asked, beyond what you can see, beyond what you can dream because I Am your Father God and I will do it for you because I Am great all the time.  My lovingkindness never fails.  I Am working it out on your behalf and it is good!  It is well.
 
    "And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.  Aliens shall stand [ready] and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.  But you shall be called the priests of the Lord; people will speak of you as the ministers of our God.  You shall eat the wealth of the nations, and the glory [once that of your captors] shall be yours." (Is. 61:4-6)
 
    "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matt. 17:20)
 
    "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not the works of Your own hands." (Ps. 138:8)

In My house there will become a very noticeable difference between the profane and the holy. 

30818-holy-week-cross-1200.1200w.tn
 
Good morning,
 
     Habakkuk 3:17-18 says, "Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, though the labor of the olive fails and the fields yield no food and though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no cattle in the stalls.  Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the victorious God of my salvation."  The word 'yet' means besides what has been considered or mentioned already; on top of everything else; however; and nevertheless.  This sounds like a person of faith, doesn't it?  It sounds like the New Testament being lived out in the Old Testament.  II Corinthians 4:18 says, "Since we consider and look not at 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."  We are to rejoice in the Lord, no matter what it looks like.  We are to exult in our victorious God, besides what has been considered and on top of everything else that is going on in our lives.  Even if there seems to be no fruit or product from your labor in the Kingdom yet, keep rejoicing.  God is faithful and knows all that you have done and continue to do in His name.  God has made us promises that we are to look at all the time.  No thing, not a thing, nothing (that includes corona-viruses), can eradicate the promises of God's word.  One example of the many promises says, "I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.  I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the wild olive; I will set the cypress in the desert, the plane [tree] and the pine [tree] together." (Is. 41:18-19) Whenever there is difficulty, barrenness, dry places, wilderness, and the unknown situations in our lives, God has already provided a way out, over, or through it!
     Listen to one of the reasons that God desires to do such miraculous things.  "That men may see and know and consider and understand that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has done this." (Isaiah 41:20)  So, today, in spite of what may happen this day, set your mind and heart to rejoice forevermore, on the goodness of our God.  His very own words, which He says that He watches over to perform or do; " For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord (here they come, God's own thoughts), thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jer. 29:11) Peace means soundness [in body], completeness, health, safety, prosperity, and welfare.  Expected means, the thing that you longed for and hoped for.  Let us rejoice for God has us covered, soundness, completeness, and health in our bodies, safety, prosperity and our welfare, that is what we hope and long for. He will not fail us!
 
The Spirit Of the Lord says;
 
     In My house there will become a very noticeable difference between the profane and the holy.  At the present time everything has been allowed in My house, but now by My Spirit there is coming a heavenly sweep.  I Am about to set a season of an open heaven over the holy, and at some moments, days and multiple hours will be spent in My Presence.
     It is for judgment and for mercy sake that I must not allow the profane to continue to stand.  I Am saving some lives that would otherwise be destroyed because of unholiness that has not been dealt with in My house.  If the profane continues to grow it will destroy the holy that is left.  I will have a holy people!  I am coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle.  The water of My Word is sufficient enough to clean away from all My children the effects of old stains from sin.  My Word is more than enough to preserve you holy and blameless against the day, no matter how long or short the day is in its arrival.  Those who are holy will be holy still.  The holy will begin to operate on another level of power, giftings, callings and insights, because of the openness of My glory that is upon the horizon.  This season will be too much for those who choose to remain profane.  Moving into this realm of glory requires a humbleness and holiness derived from a great longing for more of Me and My Word to be manifested.  I have heard the cries and the pleas of My little ones, those who desire to walk in all that I have given to them.  They are like Joshua and Caleb whose faith kept and preserved them as they waited for My promise to be manifested in their lives.  They stayed holy and humble in the midst of the profane.  My holy ones are the same, they do not want to live any longer beneath their God given rights.  They want to enter into all that I have kept for them.  I will honor them!  They have honored Me, by giving their whole heart in their seeking of Me.
     I have held back on all that I wanted to release to them, because of My mercy towards the children who rebelled and walked in the profane.  I desire that all would see the goodness of their God in the land of the living.  To the profane, I say, I will keep drawing you, if you can still hear Me.  Come, separate yourselves from all that will defile and make you unclean, leaven of impurity and compromise, and I will wash you again and place you on high. 
     Those that will be holy I will make them to be My hill of blessings.  I will cause showers to come down, yes, showers of blessings.  They will be anointed to be blessed, because they have chosen Me above all others.  Come, look and see all that I have for you my holy ones.
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.

     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)

Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,
     In a vision I keep seeing a steak cooking.  The Spirit says; the natural inclination is to cut off the fat before the steak has begun to cook, so many try to do the same spiritually.  But as you begin to offer your lives on the altar, I leave the fat on, I leave and "let" the troubles, the trials, and the things that make you tender towards Me.  All of those things that you would cut away, those are the things that I allow in your life to make you tender.  Those very things that you would cut away are the very things that I use to cause you to draw closer to Me, to cause you to seek Me, to make you stand regardless.  So that once you have gone through the difficult times, your faith will arise, and you will let nothing deter your heart from Me any longer.  These are some of the things that I use, says the Lord, I use those things to build your God-character, the man and the woman that will be like Me.  So, even though you pray, and yes you should pray and come against every temptation, every trial, every test, but know that I am using some of these to cause you to grow up, to cause you to have a tender heart towards Me, to develop great endurance and patience with joy.  To develop ears to hear Me and know Me, to be sensitive towards Me.  Be discerning and know that even as you stand against the attacks of the enemy, know the things that he means for your harm, I turn and use them for your good and growth.  Be wise and understand that at the right time when your heart is very tender, I cut those things away, little by little so that you will be tender towards Me and Me alone and. You will have the season of your Father God throughout your very life.  This is My plan and this is My desire for you.  Never forget that everything that has come across your life, has been noted by Me, so if you will let Me, I will use it to make you tender, to make you more flavorful, to make your more seasoned like Me.  It is My plan and it is My purpose, though the enemy means those things to destroy you, I turn them to your good!
     "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you.  We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." (Col. 1:9-12)
     "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." (Eccles. 3:11)
