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)

The refining process has intensified in, and, for My House.  I Am stirring the pot to cause to come to the surface all of the impure metals that have stayed in your heart, hidden from the cleansing power of My Word.

Good morning,
 
    The refining process has intensified in, and, for My House.  I Am stirring the pot to cause to come to the surface all of the impure metals that have stayed in your heart, hidden from the cleansing power of My Word.  This process will begin to reveal to you those hidden and coveted issues of your own heart.  The reason is always to make you a vessel of purity, never to make you feel condemned, as some think and even say of Me and those who will boldly declare My truth.  The enemy is an expert at misinterpretation and cunning when it comes to using words to ensnare and lead astray.  As you well know, words can kill or they can give life.  Listen to My Words now, know that I Am shaking My House in order to separate the pure from the impure, the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats.  The great divide has begun, so now is the time for your life to resemble the holy standard that I alone established.  Yes, I know those who are Mine, but you must know those who are Mine also.  Family should know their own family.  For by their fruit you will know them, do not be deceived by their great boasting words or their flamboyant displays of power.  My people will adhere to My Word, they will not try to twist My Words to accommodate their twisted lifestyle.  My people will live a holy life, not just make vague references to it.  Only follow those who follow My Word, for I have told you before that many false prophets and teachers are in the midst, leading and deceiving others to go astray off of the narrow way.  Teaching, and taking great pleasure in those who follow their examples, they are wolves in the flock.  This is the time for cleaving to the Lover of your soul and a time for great discerning, which can only come from intimate times spent with Me in the secret place.  You will see a great falling away of some who have known Me but do not be dismayed, these things must come to pass.  I Am coming for a Church without spot or blemish.  Now, begins the purification of silver and gold, precious metals that endure great heat in order to become the purest.  Once the purification is done there is a small amount of pure metal that is found.  I will have My holy remnant.  I will have a chaste Bride.  I will have a clean House.  You be holy even as I, your God Am holy and perfect!  Keep looking to Me and you will see that My grace will make you all that I have promised that you will be.  It is not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says your God and Lord.
 
    "… Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts." (Zech. 4:6)
 
    "Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit." (Matt. 7:15-17)
 
    "And you shall be holy to Me; for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine." (Lev. 20:26)
 
    "..so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless." (Eph. 5:26-27)

I Am calling you up to the highest place, to the mountain of the Lord.  All this time you have been going through a refining process. 

 
Good morning,
 
    I Am calling you up to the highest place, to the mountain of the Lord.  All this time you have been going through a refining process.  I Am bringing up to the surface of your life, the gold that has been buried deep in you, My grand purpose and plan for you before the enemy set out to try to kill, steal and destroy it.  It has been buried because of old dirt.  The old dirt of your past and of previous generational weaknesses.  The gold is priceless, its value will begin to go up and up.  This refining process has brought fires, fires of testing, and fires of purification, removing the "dirt of fear", "the dirt of low self-image", the "dirt of repeated failures", all the "dirt of the old man", and all the other dirty lies of the wicked one.  As you continue waking up towards Me, you have increased in your ability and in your stability.  When you slipped and fell, you got back up, you would not quit.  You heard Me, calling you to come up higher.  You threw off the dirt and begin to allow the process of refining, becoming stronger, and choosing to become a vessel of honor.    
    For there were those who began this walk with you and they are no longer here.  They could not stand the intensity of the fires of change.  They could not stand the steepness of mountain climbing.  As you continued to climb up the mountain, they fell away.  Sometimes it seemed as if you could not take another step, yet you continued by faith and were motivated by love.  Here is where the impossible, became possible; you begin to learn to lean your entire personality over on Me.  When you were weak I remained strong.  As you took the mountain one step after the other, you began to realize the very thing that was sent to destroy you, I began to turn it around for you.  You started to develop "spiritual muscles", getting stronger even through opposing circumstances.  Every new level of the mountain you have been faced with new levels of trouble, suffering, or responsibility, yet you pressed, becoming surefooted even in those times.  I brought you up the mountain on purpose, so that you would see the need to rid yourself of the heavily weighted baggage that you were carrying.  At each new height, you would let go of those things that so easily beset you, desiring to be free.  As you journeyed from the place of familiarity closer to Me, you could hear My voice clearer.  I Am saying, "Come away from the noise of living in the valley, come where adventures of real living and great encounters with Me will show you things to come."  As you keep walking through troubles and sufferings, I will cause you to take the mountain much quicker now, yes, even now.  Remember I know the way!

    Unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred, selfishness, jealousy, pride, and all of the other dirt of your soul that has been used to try and keep you standing still in terror or fear can not keep you down.  You are walking lighter, higher, and stronger now, making strides toward Me.  Let it go, let it all go!  Free to follow Me, higher still.  In order to come up higher with Me, to truly see Me as I Am, you must have a pure heart.  Therefore, you must allow the process of purification, ridding yourself of bitterness, hatred, unforgiveness, feelings of rejection, hurt, misuse, and being abused.  You must cease all forms of manipulation, scheming to have your way, and controlling others.  Rebellion and secret loathing of My Words, doubt, and unbelief must come to an end.  For I Am "God of the heart", I know your motives and the intents of your heart, and if what you are doing, and why you are doing it does not line up with My Word, I will not, and can not bless it!  I know the secret thoughts of your heart. Only those with a pure heart can see God!  The mountain journey will aid and assist in removing any and all impurities of the heart.  So, go up My children.
 
    "The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make spiritual progress upon my high place [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!" (Habbakuk 3:19)
 
    "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Heb. 4:12)
 
    "When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles." (Ps. 34:17)

I Am constantly speaking, but of all the words that I speak to you daily, you hear 3%.  It is moments like this where you ascend, and keep climbing the holy hill to come closer, where you can hear Me in a whisper.

Good Morning,
 
     I Am constantly speaking, but of all the words that I speak to you daily, you hear 3%.  It is moments like this where you ascend, and keep climbing the holy hill to come closer, where you can hear Me in a whisper.  You no longer have to strain to hear My voice over the shouts of the world or the shouts of your own heart, over the shouts of troubles and trials, you can hear Me.  This is why I said "do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together", because there is so much more power when you ascend together to bring you to that secret place to the holy hill where you hear My voice clearer.  So I desire for you to take this example and live it daily in your day life.  Every day living like this, ascending to the high place, because then you can hear more clearly what I Am saying to you.  I Am trying to get you to know where we are in the moments of history so that you will not miss out on what I have planned for My very own.  This is the season where My children will begin to truly shine, those who have not had their lights put out by the pressures, those who have not allowed the salt to become worthless.  For all who have come to the place that no matter what they have seen or gone through, that they are consistently walking with Me.  They will hear Me, and they will begin to shine bright.   Their brightness will bring some of the others that have lost their luster and their shine to come back, for they will recognize the beacon and hear Me calling them back to Me again says the Lord.  There will be some in the deep recesses of hell, yes, even on this earth that the enemy has desired to kill, and I will be calling them back by the very light that shines from you.  
     So I say to you My children, it is time to arise and shine.  Arise and shine and let My glory begin to pour out and emanate from you so that many may fall under the power, the presence and the glory of your God that will begin to exude from you, because you will be the light house in this world of darkness.  This is the season that we are in, so I Am polishing and shining up My diamonds and My gold, so that they will sparkle in these last days.  That men will come to see the glory, the shine, and wonder that is going on in you. They will begin to understand that there is a God and I am He and they will look for Me and I will be found of them.  This is our season, this is your season, so I say shine bright My holy diamonds.  Shine bright My precious gold.  Shine bright for Me says the Lord.  This is our season!
  
     “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery]." (Matt. 5:13)
     “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;  nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Matt. 5:14-16)
     "And let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds,  not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching." (Heb. 10:24-25)
     “Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, And the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you." (Is. 60:1)
 
Love,
