Good morning,

  It is because of My goodness, kindness, and mercies your name has been written in the Lamb’s book of life. It is not just because of the pressing that you have done. Many have fallen, but I continually lift and raise you up. I come along, heal, deliver, set you free, and speak words of encouragement to build you back up again. My grace and My mercy have carried you through and will never fail you. As long as you depend upon Me you will see the goodness of the Lord not only in heaven but in the land of the living. For I Am faithful to watch over My word to provide everything that I have spoken to you through My Word and in good measure, pressed down, shaken up, shall it run over, and men shall give into your bosom more than you think. It is more than you think and to some degree, material gifts that I have given unto you are the smaller, mostly because they are temporal and they are soon to fade. But the greatest gift I have given you is those things that are on the inside, the work that I Am doing on the inside, it will never fade, change, or be altered. As long as you keep your eyes stayed on Me you shall see your Redeemer, you shall know your Redeemer intimately and be counted among the righteous. That is more important than anything that you see, to be counted among the righteous. So keep your eyes fixed upon Me and you will see the goodness of the Lord in every facet. This is the greatest thing I Am giving in this final hour is knowing Me, a deeper knowledge of Me. So draw into Me, stay under Me, under the shield and the shadow that I have given to you for the days ahead,for they are more evil than you even know. 

“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13)

“Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it.” ( Jeremiah 1:12)

“Now, little children (believers, dear ones), remain in Him [with unwavering faith], so that when He appears [at His return], we may have [perfect] confidence and not be ashamed and shrink away from Him at His coming.  If you know that He is absolutely righteous, you know [for certain] that everyone who practices righteousness [doing what is right and conforming to God’s will] has been born of Him.” (1 John 2:28-29)

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)

Love,

Good morning, 

  When you were small in your own eyes I knew your value and worth. It was I who pulled you up from the miry clay, It was I who placed My hands upon you and made you stand. I say unto you My children this day, you have heard it said that I will open up heavens over you. They have just begun to open over you, some of you have not yet experienced  My goodness in an overflow.  I Am about to do that one thing in your life that will cause you to know that it is I your Father and I love you. I cherish you, I have brought you into the secret place and I will do mighty things, for I have seen your faithful heart and your steadfastness. I have seen your ability to rise above the circumstances and situations that have been brought across your path and yet you stand. You stand, not upon man’s faith but upon the faith that I have placed in you. You stand not upon man’s favor but the favor that I have surrounded you with. You have stood upon My promises and My Word for you is yes and amen.   You will not forget Me, you will offer up a sacrifice of praise for My faithfulness to you.  You will draw closer to Me, closer than ever before.  I Am blessing you to be a blessing to those that I will send you to. I have confidence that you will not consume what I put in your hands.  But because of that one, blessing, I will open up more and more and more over you says the Lord. When you were small and you thought lowly of yourself, I knew you and formed you and positioned you for greater things. I knew what you were able to do and what you could do in Me and you were humble.  I will continue to take you into My secret place and speak to you My wisdom and My insight. You have shown your brothers and sisters My kindness by your obedience to Me. I will not forsake you, for I will not forget the kindness that you have shown to My own. I will never forget those deeds says the Lord. For I am a rewarder of those who have diligently sought Me for I will do it, I am not a God who forgets.

“For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.” (Psalm 27:5)

“Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men!” ( Psalm 31:19)

“So then, those who are people of faith are blessed and made happy and favored by God [as partners in fellowship] with the believing and trusting Abraham.” (Galatians 3:9)

Love,

Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirred up around you.

Good morning,
    
     Understand this and take to heart that the plan of the enemy is to keep your eyes and mind on all of the trouble and chaos that he keeps stirred up around you.  Do not quickly forget what I have said, "in the time of trouble I will hide you safe in My pavilion and under the shadow of My wings."  My desire is that you would learn to keep your eyes and your mind stayed on My goodness to you.  Goodness and mercy are on assignment from heaven to do you good.  You must stay readily accessible by pressing into the hiding place that I have for you.  It is there that you have access to the Kingdom, all that you need for recovery, restoration, and a refreshing.  Yes, I have given to you all that is needful to live a victorious life.
     You are standing at the dawn of your breakthrough, do not be deceived now.  This is where the enemy will pull out all the wicked spirits of offenses, bitterness, and being unforgiving.  Your thoughts and your words you must work on putting a watch on, and cast them down.  You do possess authority over them.  Do not let idle, fruitless and harsh words and thoughts fill your mind and heart.  Remember your fight is not against people, but against principalities, powers, against rulers of the darkness of this present world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.  They are always trying to get you to fix your mind on things that produce more of the thoughts that brought them down, self destructive thinking.  It is lying vanities of this world, lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life, all of these spirits are self deceiving.  Here is where the spirit of deception will turn my children against one another, fighting in the House, instead of against the enemy.  This will cause you to be defeated when you fight against those who I am for.  In war, many times there is fire sent out that hurt and maul their own allies.  This confusion is a smoke screen to keep you from seeing who the real enemy is, and from receiving what you have labored and believed for.  Press in to knowing Me.  In knowing Me, you would recognize My voice, and not follow a stranger's voice.  Once you step through and learn to keep your mind stayed on Me, the light that you will have will be greater than what you had before the storm came.  What you have glanced at in the shadows shall be clearly known.  I make darkness light, and the crooked places straight!  Keep pressing to know Me better and you will not be deceived by the enemy.  You will discern My voice and My way by My Word, We are One.
 
     “You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both [inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]" (Is. 26:3).
     "In his shelter in the day of trouble, that’s where you’ll find me, for he hides me there in his holiness.  He has smuggled me into his secret place, where I’m kept safe and secure—out of reach from all my enemies." (Ps. 27:5)

     "For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, [lust of the flesh) the allurement of the things of the world, (lust of the eyes) and the obsession with status and importance (pride of life) —none of these things come from the Father but from the world.(1 John 2:16)

 I have come with rewards says the Lord.  I have come with tokens to those who have given all to Me.

Good morning,
 
     I have come with rewards says the Lord.  I have come with tokens to those who have given all to Me.  This is what I Am saying to you, I Am making you a benefactor for My kindness.  Many have trusted in mammon and the strength of mammon but those who have trusted in Me, I Am making benefactors of My kindness.  That means over you there is a well that will never run dry, the source is endless says the Lord, for those who have been faithful, because I Am that source.  I Am causing springs in the desert, places where there has been dryness, I Am creating springs to come to life.  Life, do you hear Me, life is springing up where there has been dryness, where there has been barrenness, I Am breaking forth in a new way.   I Am doing this as a token of My favor upon you, this is not your eternal end time reward.  I Am a God who is always looking to make Myself strong on your behalf, that means good things for you, which means faithful, and able on your behalf.  I Am opening up doors and windows that have been closed to you because I Am making you a benefactor of My kindness and My goodness in every way.  So get ready for an explosion on the inside of you, that you have never sensed or knew was available. For I the Lord your God, am a mighty God, a mighty good God, and I Am good to those who have been good to Me, who have been faithful to Me, who have stood with Me, not looking at circumstances nor situations.  I never forget says the Lord, I never forget My promises, I never forget the words I have spoken to you, I never forget those who are faithful to Me.   I Am a faithful and great Father so get ready for the fountains, the springs, the wells, the seals that have been closed to open up.  To open up over your life, to open up in your body, to open up your mind.  This is the moment of My children and of the kingdom of God.  This is the moment that we will do exploits in this world and they will know that there is a God and they will recognize that He is in you, and He is living big and strong in the midst of you.
 
     "Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me." (Ps. 86:17)
     "Behold, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Is. 43:19)
     "For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name’s sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do." (Heb. 6:10)
 
Love,

This is the time that you are going to run free like the child that I have made you to be and nothing shall hold you back in this season says the Lord.  

Child-running-in-field
 
Good morning, 
   
     I have already done those things that you have asked Me for, and because you have exercised your imagination and your mind to see beyond the moment that you're in, I Am causing you to walk in and step in and possess those things I have already prepared for you long before you were born.  I knew this moment and this day that you would step in.  I knew how you would feel, I knew how the enemy would try to push you away from Me.  I knew that you would choose My way over the way of the enemy, and because you have chosen My way I have opened the way broad for you to walk in and nothing shall by any means hurt you, stop you or affect you.  This is the time that you are going to run free like the child that I have made you to be and nothing shall hold you back in this season says the Lord.  You will experience such peace and freedom that you have longed for but you have not experienced.  You are going to step in and you are going to begin to run in it and make your way wider as you do so says the Lord.  And as you widen your way in this peace, in this freedom, others are going to see and they are going to notice that peace and freedom is upon you.  Those that have been longing for the very things that you have been longing for will come and join you says the Lord.  As you step into that freedom just begin to lift your hands and declare peace and see those things that I have already prepared for you.  For I knew your way and I knew this day says the Lord, nothing has ever changed or caught Me off guard.  Even though the situations and circumstances around you have changed, it has not changed My plans for you.  I Am stalwart in the things that I said I would do, I never change, I never alter and this is My plan for you and it is for good all the days of your life and you are about to enjoy such a goodness.  A season of goodness that you have never seen.  Watch and see the windows of heaven are opened over My children and you are going to dance and rejoice and experience peace, peace in your mind, peace in your hearts, peace in your thought life, peace says the Lord.  Get ready, get ready, get ready!
 
     And at the close of your calendar year, know that I have already opened up windows of unexpected blessings.  Some blessings you did not even know it was coming, some you expected but it blew you away because it was too much.  Praising and rejoicing from the beginning of the year until the end for the goodness that I will bestow upon those who trust and believe Me.  Watch and see, and you are  going to say Father good, Father good every day of your life, Father good.  I will say with you, "yes, I am good all the time".
 
     "Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you" (Luke 10:19)
     "Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble." (Ps. 119:165)
     "I am the Good Shepherd; and I know and recognize My own, and My own know and recognize Me." (John 10:14)
 
Love,
