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)

Stand up and lift up your hands in total surrender to the great grace that is issuing forth from Heaven’s portal. 

 
Good morning,
 
    Stand up and lift up your hands in total surrender to the great grace that is issuing forth from Heaven's portal.  I know that My people need extraordinary grace to walk in the demonstrations of the former and the latter rain.  I have scooped from the ashes all who desire to walk in this higher realm.   All this purifying and purging was needed in order for you to walk under My anointing and not in the power of your own being.  The fire was lit to burn away all dross and the remnants of idol gods and deadly thinking patterns and everything that had taken your attention from Me.  There will be grace, and you will know for sure that all that is being done, the signs, wonders, and miracles are under My covering of grace.
    You will be drawn deeper into the realms of My love.  I have set the stage for you to know My love that passes all understanding, while the enemy has set traps to cause some to be ensnared by fear, bitterness, hatred, anger, and many other spiritual forces that bring slow and certain death.  I Am saying you must fight the fight of faith and love.  Do the most impossible thing, run toward the giants of fear, bitterness, and all other opposing spiritual forces, and be fully loaded and armed with My Word.  You are after all giant slayers, crucifying all works of the flesh and every force that is behind them.  For all who are after My Spirit do imitate Me in all of my ways.  Now will come the crucial dividing line, those who are completely after My will, are distinguished because they will consistently do My Word, not looking at what is seen.  The whole world is awaiting the rising up of the true sons of God.  The enemy's lies seem more dominant, that is even a part of the deception.  If you will only do My Word more often, you will see that the Kingdom is the true powerhouse!  I have come once again to My garden and I Am inspecting your fruit, to see the growth that has taken place.  Yes, growth takes place for those whose roots go deep in My Word, no matter what goes on around them, no matter what season they are in.  In fact, that is when you step into the secret, safe sanctuary of your Father.  I have said, blessed are those who trust in Me and have made Me their hope and confidence.  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit!  You are those strong and steady oaks that the enemy has tried to take an axe to and uproot, but you have refused to be moved.  Yes, I have seen those whose conversation is always on Me.  Even when it was hard I heard you encourage your own self in Me, by bringing to memory My good record of faithfulness.  So now because you refuse to quit or give up, prepare to stand under the great waterfall of My grace, where your weaknesses will become your strength.  My ability will cover your inability.  The waters are about to overtake you and you will float in this great grace, because you, My co-laborers have no need to be ashamed!
 
    "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." (Jer. 17:7-8)
 
    "There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror!  For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection."  (1 John 4:18)
 
    "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work." (2 Corin. 9:8)
 
Love,

 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.

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 own 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; 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 own 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 boom makes quick changes, so it will be for you My faithful " fruit" trees.  You have come forth for your prepared time! 
 
     "[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit." (Jer. 17:7-8)
 
     "I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness.  Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory" (Is. 61:2-3)
 
     "But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]." (1 Corin. 2:9)

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

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,

I Am separating the wheat from the tare and those who stand with Me and remain faithful to My Word.  There will be such an anointing upon those who stand.  Fruit shall abound in their households,

 
Good morning,
 
     I Am separating the wheat from the tare and those who stand with Me and remain faithful to My Word.  There will be such an anointing upon those who stand.  Fruit shall abound in their households, more and better fruit in their hearts, in their minds, and evident in their lives.  Because they are trees planted by the rivers of living water, they receive the water of the Word easier.  They continue to stay hungry and thirsty, many shall come to see what is keeping them fed. They shall rest and come to know Me as the Lord who sees and provides, because they have chosen the good thing, sitting at My feet.  They stand tall knowing that I the Lord their God have made promises to them and I will not and I cannot lie, and My answer to you is yes and amen.  
     You have asked me once and again, "God what are you doing?"  I Am telling you, I Am making you more like Me.  You are getting to know Me as a good Father, who is trustworthy.  It is going beyond hearsay from others, it has become more intimate knowledge.  You see that it goes beyond the momentary and temporary things, you are seeing from the eyes of an eternal being.  You will always be supplied with plenty, you shall have enough to give without fear of want, you will step over easily into My overflow. You will see that it is far more than money, but prosperity for the whole of your living.  I Am faithful to bless those who are faithful with all that they are stewards over, spirit, soul, and body.  Faithful men abound with blessings, so get ready for harvest in every area.  Whatever is empty, whatever has been void I have set the stage to cause you to abound with blessings.  You thought it was the enemy trying to steal from you, but I was emptying those troughs, emptying those fields, I was emptying those places so that I could place My seed that always produces after its kind.  I had to rid My garden of the weeds that was keeping the fruit from reaching its full maturity.  I know what is good for you, I Am a great father, provider, counselor, friend, one who walks beside you.  I Am taking good care of you.  I will see to you, and everything that concerns you says the Lord.  Know that those things that have been burned away they were not like Me, but know that I will replenish your ground with the good, the righteous, and the holy, and you shall be stronger in Me. 
 
     "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands." (Ps. 138:8)
     "A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings, But he who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished." (Prov. 28:20)
     "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers." (3 John 1:2)
 
Love,
