For I Am building says the Lord. I Am the Master builder, listen carefully. I build my church on the firm foundation and that is My Word. I have been building you steadily for years.

Good morning,

     For I Am building says the Lord. I Am the Master builder, listen carefully. I build my church on the firm foundation and that is My Word. I have been building you steadily for years. You have not always seen the outcome immediately but I have been faithful to do it. When you have fallen, I reinstated you and restored you and caused you to be lifted up, even when your head was held down, I lifted you up.  When you fail and you make mis-steps in your life, I turn those things around for your good because I Am proficient towards what I do and I never faulted anything that I put my hands to build.  The only reason buildings fall is because people become involved with their reasoning and doing things their own way without consulting Me. Now for those who would give their heart to Me totally and completely, I will build up a foundation that will stand forever and it is My Name and My word.  It is by you stirring up My love that I have placed in you that I Am raising up a generation of people who have found out how to walk in My power. They will walk in My power until I come growing daily. 

     They will no longer be behind but they will be the head. They will no longer  receive the vagabond things of this world but they will walk in the high places yes, the places that I have ordained for them to walk in. They will be seated with Me in heavenly places, and they will know things because they will have keen hearing and understanding to fulfill the work. They will not any longer wonder why, for they will see those things that I have and am revealing to them because they have sought My face.  Revelation that have been waiting for years has come now. Through My Word and taking hold of these things and understanding how to walk them out you are beginning to build just like your Father builds. I have found some who are faithful in my house and the faithful shall abound in blessings.

     “He makes my feet like the hinds’ [firm and able]; He sets me secure and confident upon the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your condescension and gentleness have made me great.” (2 Samuel 22:34-36)

     “But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).” (James 1:25)

     “Making your ear attentive to skillful and godly wisdom and inclining and directing your heart and mind to understanding [applying all your powers to the quest for it];” (Proverbs 2:2)

 I Am the great God.  I never waste anything in My guiding and teaching My family.  There will always be an anointed and ancient path to lead My little ones to.

 
Good morning,
 
    I Am the great God.  I never waste anything in My guiding and teaching My family.  There will always be an anointed and ancient path to lead My little ones to.  So I Am now blending, as I always have the ancient with those things that are new to you.  I have had the plans for your new day in My heart, even though it seems as if I Am just now releasing them to you.  You are just now able to receive them, My children.  You have come a long way and you have reached a mature place so that I can give you what is necessary for the season.  All of your teachers, your ancient instructors, were laying the foundations in order to build on these great precepts.  They only had a piece, a portion that I gave to help build My children stronger.  I give severally as I will, every gift that I have, I give severally as I will and I gave a portion to erect a stronger foundation.  All of your ancient instructors were laying the foundation in order to build on this great precept.  The climactic view of seeing My children open and receiving all that I have kept in store for them.  No one is too old, or too young, to walk under the open heavens of My Glory.  This anointing will be heavy upon anyone who yields it will be as if you have become another person.  
    So here is what this season means for you.  There will be a restoration of all things; restoring souls, finances, dreams, purposes, and joy for the journey.  I have not forgotten any seeds sown in the kingdom from a heart of love.  Great harvests are on your horizon, keep your arms open.  Ideas, plans, and ways, simple steps for extravagant and unusual miracles are upon you.  All I ask of you is to rekindle the fire in your heart, and it will enlighten every step, every idea, plan, and way.  Get ready for the greatest adventure you have ever known.  Stay in love and walk close to Me.  I have given and placed all in your hands.  Keep them open. Open your arms that you might receive.  Open your arms and keep them open and listen for My voice.  I Am reviving and restoring all that is Mine.  Tradition and religion have made My word become ineffective, but no longer.  We will walk according to My ancient paths not the paths of men.  We will walk in My ways. 
 
    "Remove not the ancient landmark which your fathers have set up." (Pro. 22:28)
 
    "Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, And from ancient times the things which have not [yet] been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will do all that pleases Me and fulfills My purpose,"(Is. 46:10)
 
    "And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten—the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you." (Joel 2:25)
 
    "Thus you are nullifying and making void and of no effect [the authority of] the Word of God through your tradition, which you [in turn] hand on. And many things of this kind you are doing." (Mark 7:13)

 Change is nothing to fear, in fact, the way that you have been doing things warrants change.

Good morning,
 
     Change is nothing to fear, in fact, the way that you have been doing things warrants change.  You have been trying to do things your own way, and the voice of reason comes in and says, do it My way.  My way brings ease.  Change promotes you, change causes you to grow up, change causes you to see things as I see them, change is nothing to fear.  So as you allow Me to do the changes that are necessary for growth, understand that it may hurt just a little bit, but it is for your good.  The hurt comes when you release the familiar that has kept you from pressing forth into change.  I Am allowing the things in your life to shift somewhat for change, for it is for your benefit.  It is to cause you to breathe better, it will help you to see things the way that I see them clearer, walk more precisely, and be more diligent about My ways.  Everything happens to move you into a position to hear Me, to follow Me.  Understand that all things are rapidly shifting in the earth and I need you to be in the right place at the right time.  The enemy has tried to keep you bound so that you will not hearken to Me, and so that you can not see Me when I move and how.  He uses those things that are familiar, and ways that you have become accustomed to living in, be wise.  He uses familiar things to get your attention and your affection over on those things, people, and or feelings, so that you will not shift when I say shift,  you will not move when I say move, because you are holding on to usual, customary, and familiar things.
     Let go of those things, for they are actually binding you.  I will cause you to rise to a new place in Me, and that place is a place of stability.  I know the enemy has been whispering that the new place will cause your feet to shift like sand, but sand compacted together by Me becomes very secure and large, says the Lord.  So I Am saying, if you will allow Me, I will place your feet on the the firmest foundation ever known to you. Then the steps that you take will be steps that I have taken before you, thereby I will lead you into a place of truth, peace, and the place of your destiny.  Everything is shifting for your good, it is not to cause harm to you, for I Am your Father.  I love you, and everything that I do for you is for your good.
 
     "There is no fear in love [dread does not exist].  But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]." (1 John 4:18)
     “Stop dwelling on the past.  Don’t even remember these former things.  I am doing something brand new, something unheard of.  Even now it sprouts and grows and matures.  Don’t you perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert." (Is. 43:18-19) 
     "Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you.  Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour.  Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith.  For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.  And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever.  Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up." (1 Peter 5:7-10)

 I saw the Lord get up from the throne and it was if He was turning, His shadow was moving, and He was turning the corner and all eyes that were upon Him, as He turned they followed Him to greater light and greater appointment in their destiny.

 
Good morning,
 
     I saw the Lord get up from the throne and it was if He was turning, His shadow was moving, and He was turning the corner and all eyes that were upon Him, as He turned they followed Him to greater light and greater appointment in their destiny.  Those that did not keep their eyes on Him, they stumbled and they fell into an abyss, a place of darkness, but all who had their gaze firmly fixed on Him as he got up to make a turn, a change, they walked into greater depths.  Greater understanding, greater revelation and insight for all who fixed their eyes, and then the light just got brighter and brighter all around them and through them.  The light just begin to emit from their beings; their whole being became just aglow and as they followed him they began to glow into the dark places.  And because they followed Him and their eyes were fixed on Him the darkness that they encountered became lighter.
     Hear Me; For I Am the only one who is stable and fixed, I Am the firm foundation, if you would hold on to Me just as in moments of deep intimate worship in your life, there is a change.  There will be an alteration, you will change, there is something that shifts in your atmosphere that changes your environment.  As you keep your eyes stayed on Me, you will be able to remain steady and fixed.  In fact, as you do so the level of worship in you became higher, the level of praise takes another step up to Me, you will encounter a place where you will be lost in Me.  And that is where I Am calling My people to, that place where they lose themselves in Me and they depend only on My voice, only on My presence, only on the way that I move.  They follow every step, every encounter, every word that I say, they hang on My every word.  And as My people who are sitting in the shift will refuse to move, refuse to go astray, they will encounter greater levels of understanding, insight, and depth of Me.  They will know what others have cried to know for generations, they will know Me, really know Me.  So do not look to your left or to your right, this is the time to have a determined fixed gaze on Me.  Then you will not be confused and you will not be moved.  You will encounter Me and you will know Me.  That is what I do in you in these moments of deep worship, if you keep your eyes on Me.
 
     "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." (Pro. 4:20-22)
     "For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).  However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves." (2 Corin. 4:6-7)
     "Therefore My people shall know what My name is and what it means; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks; behold, I Am!" (Is. 52:6)
