May 8, 2025 – Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,

This is where the deep touches the deep and it reaches to a place unknown to your physical mind, unknown to your physical heart.  That is the place where the power of your Father meets with the power of your spirit and you begin to recognize that you are most powerful, that you are not this powerless being that has no power but you begin to recognize that I have given you everything that pertains to life and godliness. You become just like Me and the divine nature of your Father, and in that place says the Lord, I respond to you as a loving Father, a Father who loves His own, chastises His own.  For what kind of father would I be if I allowed My children to stay childish, if I allowed My children to stay babies, working in their flesh and in their mind, operating by their natural means, not growing up, not maturing into the divine person that I have called you to. I have raised you to walk not by your flesh, not by your feelings, not by your thought life, but by My Word.  You must be those who have their senses trained and are mature, strong enough to endure the meat of My Word because they take My word and apply to every circumstance and situation and make their flesh obey.  Yes, I said make; for in order to do My Word you have to make yourself do it, and so as you are laborers with Me, come to Me says the spirit of grace and mercy and I work alongside with you.  There is nothing, no nothing that is impossible to you if you believe.  There is no change that is insurmountable to you, believer.  We can do it together says the Lord, and I command you to do if you love Me.  I command you to walk with Me,  I command you to love Me so much that you obey Me, that is My Word.  I say to you My children, if you would desire to grow up, grow up to the place, to all the wonders that I have to reveal to you, secret things, divine mysteries that I want you to walk in.  You could be walking in them even now says the Lord, for it is high time that My children stop being babies and grow up to be strong, and endure the sound doctrine of your Father.  Know that I Am causing you to inherit the promises that I have given you.  Promises that are laid up for those who are mature, for I cannot give to babies the responsibilities of the mature revelation, but I can entrust those to strong and mature people who are ready, yes ready.  Every time you receive a word and you allow your flesh to continue to rule you, you are still yet babies and I require you to grow up says the Lord.  It is the longing of My heart to see my full manifestation working in and through My people causing them to be the end time army that I have designed and required for them to be.  This is your season, this is the time to shed that skin of babyhood, now is the time, this is the season to rise up and to mature says the Lord.  You can do it, for I have given you everything that pertains to life and being like God, it is in you, it is your divine nature.  I have put Me inside of you, you are just like Me, so start acting like it, start being like it. I require that of you My children, for I have given you the Word, I have given you the milk, I have given you the meat of the word so that you might grow up, so that you might endure in the days that are ahead.  For have I not said, it is My sons who endure chastening from their Father?  For I am a loving Father, a kind Father, a generous Father but I also chastise those I love.  What kind of Father would I be if I allowed you to stay in your mess and in your sin.  I require you to grow up and mature and shake off the skin of this world, shake off the worldliness that you have been hiding under.  I require it says the Lord, so grow up this day, make up in your heart and mind, and you will see that there are more that be for you than be against you.  All of the power I have invested in you, is so that you might succeed and walk boldly through this world, letting this world know that there is a God and He lives in you, and He works in you.  They can see Me as I come forth from your life says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  You have the power, you can do it says the Lord.

“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.” (Eph. 4:14-15)

“For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food.  For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and] unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant.  But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.” (Heb. 5:12-14)

  “My son, do not make light of the discipline of the Lord, And do not lose heart and give up when you are corrected by Him; For the Lord disciplines and corrects those whom He loves, And He punishes every son whom He receives and welcomes [to His heart].” You must submit to [correction for the purpose of] discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons; for ] what son is there whom his father does not discipline?  Now if you are exempt from correction and without discipline, in which all [of God’s children] share, then you are illegitimate children and not sons [at all]. (Heb. 12:5-8)

Good morning,

I Am clothing My children with more of My Glory. It is a glory that strengthens as well as covers. It is a glory that brings understanding as well as insight and wisdom. It is a glory that causes you to walk in the giftings that I’ve placed within you. It is a glory that is waking up that person on the inside that I placed My spirit into and I speak to daily, that I encourage to rise up and take over.  Be the one that goes forth in this season. It is the glory that abides in the tent that covers. It is the glory of the one that I fashioned and formed before this world was ever known. It is the glory that is within you calling to the deep inside of you, wakening My Spirit, the one full of My Glory, full of My power, full of wisdom and insight. I am calling to the deep in you. Allow the deep to hear and answer and come forth. In the days that are ahead, I need My people to be strong. I need My people to be hearing people, people that understand, people that understand with clarity and insight and can move with Me when I say move and can be still when I say be still. I need My people to awaken to the move of the Father that’s within them. I need My people to be gentle, yet full of power and authority. I need My people to rise up, to walk in that place of authority, in the heights that I have called them to, far above the principalities and powers of this world and this ungodly system that have governed them. To hear Me and know that greater one lives on the inside of you, greater than anything that you have ever gone through or anything that you have ever known. I Am greater, and I Am there speaking to you, to rise up, speaking to you, to wake from the slumber that this world has kept you in. Awake to the all things that I have called you to. For there are greater things for you, even now, before I come and take My bride away, before I come and receive My bride unto My arms. There is a greater power  residing on the inside that must come forth in great power.  Awake and allow the power of your Father to come forth. 

“But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,  My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.” (Psalms 3:3) 

“God [in His eternal plan] chose to make known to them how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in and among you, the hope and guarantee of [realizing the] glory,” (Colossians 1:27)

“He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light.” (Daniel 2:22)

Good morning,

If you would begin to take every step that I have given you, these steps will cause you to reach a place in Me that you thought was impossible to do. But because you surrender your will, your designs, your plans, the things you thought were your deliverance, I will crucify them before your very eyes and raise Myself up mighty in your eyes.  This crucifying of other gods will cause you to be lifted up to a place that you trust and depend upon Me. This generation of My children will rise up and begin to declare My Word by their lives, by their very lives being lived out, a testimony for men to see. As your lives are lived out before them, they will see the glory of God living and abiding in you as you go forth being filled to overflow of My presence. You will cause men and women to be healed from the very shadow of your presence as you yield yourself more and more to Me. For this is the generation that I have raised up to declare and sound the trumpet to alarm My people.  My people, will hear Me and obey and be quick to obey. For Our time has come to receive My bride. It is sooner than you think and I want her prepared and ready. So now hear My voice, hear the sound of the trumpet as I Am sounds the alarm. So do not go back to the trough, do not go back to the vomit, do not go back to the old lovers, things that the enemy is trying to pull you back to. Rise up above those things, because I placed on the inside of you all that makes Me, Me. It is in you so now you can rise up. You can do the impossible, because of the possibility that lies in Me. You will radiate My glory and power. We are in harmony, Holy Spirit has been fine tuning you. Know that We will do the impossible in the hours ahead. We includes you My bride!

“And I will make you my bride forever. I will make you my bride with goodness and justice and with love and mercy.” (Hosea 2:19-20)

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17)

“that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:26-27)

Good morning,

If you listen closely even as you raise yourself into a higher place with Me, you can hear the angels joining in. You can hear the host of heaven joining in as you praise Me to excel you into higher realms of glory to bring you to a place where you actually hear My voice clearer and you actually hear the angels that surround you and encamp around about you, singing songs of deliverance, victory and joy. You can sense them as you worship Me, as you go into that quiet secret place. As you guard yourself from the things of this world and put yourself in the position to hear you will receive wisdom that is needed to protect and strengthen you. You will hear that there are more that be for you. Even as you are singing, a host of heaven was encamped around about you singing. You can hear the angel voices begin to have that clarity of victory, glory and honor as they worship and praise the God of all creation, your Father. And as you join in worship of the Father of all creation, you will begin to have your eyes open to the great and awesome majesty and the might and the glory of the heavenly realms, the places where I Am calling you to, into the higher places of glory. So join yourself with the heavenly forces every time you worship Me, and your eyes will begin to be opened and you will see and understand the times and the seasons that you are living in and you will be better prepared for the days ahead. You will not faint, you will not give up, you will not quit, you will be prepared for the race. The sound of heaven mixed with your unhindered voices lifted up will build you up to where you are seated with Us in heaven, knowing how to succeed in every area of this life you are living now. You are ready now to fulfill your purpose and the destiny I placed in you before you were born. Get ready to be known as heirs and joint heirs with your Lord. 

“The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God.  And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.” (Romans 8:16-17)

“By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),” Ephesians 1:18) 

“You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble, You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!” (Psalm 32:7)

There are eagles that are about to soar in great flight.  They have streamlined their lives and allowed Me, their Lord to shave away the weights that have kept them grounded in the past.  Weaning them from all that they thought was their source and their necessity.  They have truly discovered I Am their one and only source.  Watch the eagles, climb higher into My presence. They will not settle for the commonplace.  Every step of faith has brought them closer to the clouds of My glory.  The eagles will experience the great torrential rains that I have promised in My Word.  The rains are coming to refresh and blow away all that is stagnant, clearing away all that obscured their vision.  My eagles will create a refreshing wind, for they will carry My anointing and drip it on all who have been waiting for more of Me.  This will increase the desire for all the eaglets in My Kingdom to produce a fresh wind of glory in their environment.  All of My children will desire to grow up and take their place in the army of their God.  Holiness and maturity will be their aim and their goal.  All of those who love Me will seek me again as they did at first.  This fresh wind will start fires, fires will begin to glow. The wind and the fires will cause a dynamic outburst of the Spirit.

New levels of My Spirit producing new levels of My glory.  My people will now walk in sustained levels of power and authority.  This will be the greatest time ever known to My people.  Healings that will encompass spirit, soul and body will be seen as evidence of My favor.  My eagles will be at the forefront of this great time of My manifested glory and healings, yet humility will fan the flame for greater manifestations.  Those who have developed their wings have done so through great seasons of endurance.  I know the many times that they have laid down their own desires to see that Mine would be done.  Such an awakening of my eagles will cause My watchmen to become more alert. Their times of intercession will be fanned by the fires of purpose and their eyes will see with great distinction.  My shepherds will be quickened by the rushing of the wind of my eagles.  The meals that they feed my people will be served with truth and in power.  They will be revived by the same wind, feeding My people with fresh manna.  My people will go throughout their territory bringing restoration to their land.  Rebuilding all that has laid in ruins because of the devastation of the past generations and of the present troubling to their lands.  They will not be distracted any longer by the lies of the enemy.  They will work diligently on one hand while warring for the Kingdom with the other.  This wind of the Spirit will cause supernatural waves of energy, they will never grow weary as they march right on to the new level.  All that they have gone through has been preparation for this time.  The set time for My eagles has come!   My favor will be your great reward.

So I say to you, stir yourself up once again to loving Me.  Revive the fires of your prayer life, ignite your quiet times in My Word, where you learned to hear My voice. Speak life to your times of worship, and you will be transported into My Presence.  Refuse to stop running, and you will see that you be like
a watered garden and an ever-flowing spring.  You will be raised up on high to soar once again as a renewed eagle!

“Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle” (Psalm 103:5)

“And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your soul in scorched and dry places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden , And your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up and restore the age-old foundations [of buildings that have been laid waste]; You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” (Isaiah 58:11-12)

Good morning,

This enemy of Ours is attempting to lull a great body of My people to sleep.  “Sleep”, he says, “through the crisis in your life”.  “Sleep”, he says, “to the cries of the lost world”.  “Sleep, you don’t need to be aware of the times or season that you are in”, says the liar.  Sleep so that your spiritual senses become dull.  Sleep in order that you might receive more of his lies.  Sleep so that you are deaf to My voice. He is using the cares of this world, the lust and longings for other things, (wants, entertainment, business) and the deceitfulness of riches, those cravings and desires for more and more, all those things that beckon for your attention.  He is applying a smoke screen.  Awake from your spiritual slumber, for it is the sleep of death  sent to kill your real life in Me.  Where are the watchmen on the walls?  Those who are seers, that I have anointed to see ahead, to the times and the season.  Listen as they cry out to you.  For the spirit of deceitfulness has caused your walk to become lethargic, as one who feels in the darkness.  Your great light that once burned brightly has become small.  Wake up to righteousness! You don’t even know how far you have fallen.  You have judged yourself by others that have been dulled by this life.  Those who have become lovers of this world.  Those who are taking pleasure in the wickedness around them.  Turn your gaze back on Me, your Bright and MorningStar.  You once ran with the messengers that carried My Word.  Now you have put down your torch and run with the jackals of this temporary world.  Return to Me! 

You must stay planted by the river of My Word in order to have a ceaseless supply of fresh water.  So that no matter what the outer conditions, you will continue to produce.  Each time you dwell in darkness and with sin, you are weakened to your defense against it.  Your delight and desires for Me will shift.  You cannot love two lovers.  You will either hate the one and love the other.  Remember how you loved Me, I was your delight and your desire. Come back to Me with your whole heart and I will heal you of your backsliding heart.  I have been speaking gently, while the world screams at you for your attention and affection.  Now I will shout as one who is in travail.  Awake, arise and stir yourself up to Me!!  Do not grow weary in your waiting.  Do not grow weary in your well doing.  I will come for you.  I Am coming for My Bride, so wake up to My Word.  Stay alert to My Presence and know the times that we are in. 

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?” (2 Corinthians 13:5)

“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in victory through Christ. God uses us to spread his knowledge everywhere like a sweet-smelling perfume.  Our offering to God is to be the perfume of Christ that goes out to those who are being saved and to those who are being lost.  To those who are being lost, this perfume smells like death, and it brings them death. But to those who are being saved, it has the sweet smell of life, and it brings them life. So who is good enough to do this work?” (2 Corinthians 2:14-16)

“Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character. Awake from your drunken stupor and return] to sober sense and your right minds, and sin no more. For some of you have not the knowledge of God [you are utterly and willfully and disgracefully ignorant, and continue to be so, lacking the sense of God’s presence and all true knowledge of Him]. I say this to your shame.” (1 Corinthians 15:33-34)

Good morning,

I am reminded of a story about a young boy who found a cocoon, and seeing how hard the insect struggled on the inside, he cut the cocoon open, thinking he would help the bug escape.  Instead, the butterfly died.  A butterfly expert told him that it is the struggle within the cocoon that gives strength to the butterfly and enables its wings to grow and develop.  Only then can it emerge and go free.

If God cares so much for butterflies, to give them a covering while they transition, I know He covers us as we change or even as we are going through tough or trying times. Is. 41:10 says, “Fear not, (there is nothing to fear), for I Am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I Am your God, I will strenghten and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My victorious right hand of rightness and justice.”  This “hardening” us to difficulty, is also where we receive strength to come forth from our God-given cocoon.  Harden means to make tough, to strengthen or confirm in disposition, feeling or a course of action, to make bold.  You see we become tougher and stronger to outer circumstances and easily pliable to inner change.  He will harden us to difficulties emotionally, spiritually, and physically.  

This is the Word of the Lord; “I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord,  thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.” Do not be shaken or moved by the outward circumstances that have come to test and try you, I have allowed them so that you might see what We are doing on the inside. I Am shifting how you think, and what you are preoccupied with thinking. All of the cares of this life are temporal and I need you to keep eternal vision. The futility of the race of this world will overwhelm your thought life if you let it which pushes out “keeping your mind stayed on Me.” I need you to meditate and ponder on My Word and My promises to you consistently. You know that Our enemy’s purpose is to take your mind off of Me and My Word down a tunnel of hopelessness and despair. I Am greater than all of the scenarios of your wearied thoughts. Know this, I have overcome the world and I have given you the keys to open up the door and walk as an overcome in every area of life. Be prepared always to wage war against the enemy. But what I have given, I have given! Stand and take your position, as you do you will see the salvation of your Father.

“But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self-indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the business of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose;” (Luke 21:34)

“You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.” (Isaiah 26:3)

“You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble, You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!” (Psalm 32:7)

Good morning,

  I share in the victory and triumph with My people.  All of those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. It is not how you start, it is how you end up and because you keep your eyes stayed on Me, whatever I have you will have. I Am seated at the right hand of My Father, and so shall you be, because you are fighting the good fight of faith. Look up, because your redemption draws nigh. The more that you press in, the more you cry out, the more you hunger and thirst for Me the more you become full of Me. I beckon to your call, and I Am coming closer and closer every time you call with the fragrance of your voice. No man knows the hour, but the time and the season are at hand, because My children are crying out for Me.  They are asking for Me to come for they desire to be with Me. My bride is longing for My arrival and I cannot contain nor keep back from My love. 

The time is coming when I will not keep back or hold off. There will be no one who will be able to say that they did not hear that they did not know, because I Am firing up My people to run like never before, clean, purify and purge as many souls as they can before I come and receive My people home and they will ever be with Me. So rejoice, your time is upon you now says the Lord.

“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him,” (Psalms 126:5-6)

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” (Matthew 5:6)

“And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17)

Love,

Good morning,

Your praise is a weapon, and it surrounds you. You are surrounding yourself with My glory, so that everywhere you go My glory goes before and behind you.   There is no weapon that is formed by man or the enemy that can penetrate the glory of your King. All deep things happen in My glory. You open your eyes and you see and you understand what was once shrouded. You open your ears you hear and you understand. It all happens in My glory.  So let your voice be a weapon as you praise Me, let your voice be a sound to the enemy that you are not afraid as I surround you with My glory. There is nothing that he could do that could ever penetrate you to the point of killing you or taking you out, for I surround you by My glory. The power shall begin to arise and it will rise like a river. A river that will not quit flowing, a river that will flow on and will bring to you healing, soundness, wellness, wisdom, insight and, revelation into all things. As you live in My river that is created by the glory that you create with your sound with the voice that you send out as a praise, as a mighty weapon, you will deepen your revelation of Abba. For I use the foolish things to confound the wisdom of this world, to confound the wisdom of the enemy. So praise Me let me hear your voice, let Me hear your sound.

“For Sheol (the place of the dead) cannot confess and reach out the hand to You, death cannot praise and rejoice in You; they who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness [to Your promises; their probation is at an end, their destiny is sealed]. The living, the living—they shall thank and praise You, as I do this day; the father shall make known to the children Your faithfulness and Your truth.” (Isaiah: 38-18-19) 

“But truly as I live and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord,” (Numbers 14:21)

“There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High” (Psalm 46:4)

Good morning,

I Am restoring the joy of your salvation all you need to do is believe it. I say to rejoice in Me always, for I am doing wonderful things, even behind the scenes. I Am bringing to pass every word I have spoken. I Am not man that I shall lie. Every word I speak is a yes and amen over you so rejoice, always rejoice, knowing that what I say, I do, I will do. I always finish. I always complete and so I say to you this year begins to mark a new year for you. A new year of victory, a new year of walking it out, a new year of not backing down to the enemy. This is your year of glory. This is your year that your head will be held high only because you make a choice and you choose to hold it high. 

Great and mighty men and women shall be forged from fire. Everyone wants the easy way, but I Am preparing great and mighty people that have been brought through the fire. They shall be different and unique, and an anointing shall rest upon them that others have never seen. Signs and wonders shall follow them. They shall not have to run after anything in the kingdom, but because they stand for My word and speak My word, I will back them up with signs, wonders and miracles. It is for anyone who chooses to do My word, for anyone who is determined to walk wholeheartedly. It is for anyone who will run the race and not quit. It is for anyone who is determined to put their hand to the plow of My Word and not let go. It is for anyone who will not look back at the circumstances or situations that surround them daily, for I have overcome everything and I have made you overcomers. I have made you victorious. I have made you the head and not the tail. I made you above and not beneath. You are the ones that  hold the truth in your heart and in your mouth and in your whole being. If you will allow Me to now begin to dig out those dry places, those hard places, and allow the water of My Word to soak you and marinate you in My Word so that every time the enemy pokes you, all that comes forth from you is more of My word. Not your circumstances or your situation, but you will rehearse My Words.  You will become the people who say what I say by rehearsing My word despite the circumstances and situations that you face. For you know that your end is always good, for I made a promise to you that I will bring you to the end, and that end is good. I have spoken it. I have determined it. There is nothing but good for you in store. So keep your head held up. Don’t look to the left or to the right. Circumstances and situations are all around you. Yes, you are enveloped in difficult times but I say to you, look up for your God is about to come. Look up for your redemption draws nigh, look up for I Am soon to come for My bride that is ready. Everything you see is temporary. Everything you hold dear on this earth is temporary except souls only souls. That is what I Am after. I have given you a fresh, new banner to run and many shall follow the banner that you hold up for Me. They will see that I Am victorious therefore you will be victorious too.

“Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be  content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am for I have learned how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want. I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].” (Philippians 4:11-13)

“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.” (Psalm 51:12)

“And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great (transcendent and overwhelming) power and [all His kingly] glory (majesty and splendor). Now when these things begin to occur, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption (deliverance) is drawing near.” (Luke 21:27-28)

Love,

Pastor D.
