Good morning, 

If My people will turn their backs on the ways of this world and leave the distractions of this present age behind them, they will open their eyes and have them flooded with the light of My ways.  I will use the trials and tribulations of your seasons of life as dung.  Yes, I will mulch down every obstacle, trial and tribulation in your life and use it to produce a massive harvest in your life.  The strategies and tactics that the enemy thought would bring you down, I delight in turning them around to show our enemy that His best is nothing but dung to us.  What he thought would destroy you I have cunningly used to incite you to riot against the kingdom of darkness.  You realized that you have been lied to and you are ready to be the winner you actually are.  Rising up in you is the “warrior bride.”  You are staying in a state of readiness for your soon coming lover, and you will fight off any foxes of life that will try and prevent you from staying prepared.  You know now that all these trials and tribulations were sent to divert your power and your energy away from what you are truly longing for.  Yes, more of Me, deeper intimacy with Me.  With great fervor and zeal you are now setting your gaze upon Me, my bride, my fair one.  You see that with great revelation, that I Am the One and only One that can put you over.  I Am over every trial, test, circumstance, tribulation, hardship and adversity of life, I Am.  I Am rising in your life as a contented lover and supplying for you as a great provider, so that you will not lack in any area of your life.  I Am here to fulfill the wantings and longings of your heart, because you have remained faithful to Me, you did not go defiling our love life, by filling your heart with every imitated lovers.  Those who promised you things, that only I could provide  You trusted Me when things looked impossible, yet you kept on believing Me.  You refused the well-timed advances, of the false lovers.  Our enemy thought you were weak.  He did not know that your cries were for Me, and I heard them as a horn sounding for battle.  I Am here to fight on your behalf, stand beside Me, your great Warrior has arisen.  The whole earth will tremble at My arising.  You will see Me doing wonders in the earth and through My bride, My lovers.  She will step into My ways now.  The intensity of Who I Am will be seen through her.  She has arisen, for I have arisen in her.  Refreshed with strength, power, wisdom, signs and wonders, the world will now look on and see that I Am is here.  Together we will sweep the earth and call my army, the warrior bride to attention.  Those who are mine will hearken and do.  My lovers will arise.  All who are faithful I will reward plentifully.

  “You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” (2 Timothy 2:3-4)

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)

 I have a few in my house that have not bowed their knee to Baal. I have a few in my house, that are standing strong their roots are deep The enemy a long time ago, came into my house and sowed tares in the midst of My wheat seeds. And I have allowed them to grow together and even my people have a hard time distinguishing the difference between the wheat and the tare, but I know says the LORD.

 
Good morning,
 
    I have a few in my house that have not bowed their knee to Baal. I have a few in my house, that are standing strong, their roots are deep. The enemy a long time ago, came into my house and sowed tares in the midst of My wheat seeds and I have allowed them to grow together and even my people have a hard time distinguishing the difference between the wheat and the tare, but I know says the LORD.  At the time of harvest, I will come and separate.  For I Am pruning those that are truly Mine and they are becoming sharper, wiser, and more sensitive in the things of the Spirit. The tares are beginning to get stronger too, they are trying through the enemy to thwart My purpose because the season is short.  Those who will stand strong for Me and in Me and with Me, they will grow stronger still and their end will be better than beginning. A noticeable difference, for you will begin to discern those who are for Me. You will know, truly your brother and your sister, those who labor with you and have one heart for Me and the kingdom. For the time is at hand and I will come and I will separate and I will burn those that are tares. I will cause the wheat to grow stronger and still be coming to My house and they shall begin to feed many in the time ahead. I Am even now placing a transfer in your life to be able to supply to many. I have prepared ahead so allow all things for your maturing. Mature wheat! The heart of man I see and I recognize what I placed within you for the days ahead, you My child will shine. So keep your eyes looking right on, not to the left, nor to the right. Run diligently with Me for Our season is at hand. I love you. I Am keeping you, and I Am watching, stay strong in Me.
 
    "But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way. So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel (weeds) appeared also. And the servants of the owner came to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have darnel shoots in it? He replied to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and weed them out? But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it. Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary." (Matt. 13:25-30)
 
    "Now also we beseech you, brethren, get to know those who labor among you [recognize them for what they are, acknowledge and appreciate and respect them all]—your leaders who are over you in the Lord and those who warn and kindly reprove and exhort you. (1 Thess. 5:12)
 
    "Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and let your gaze be straight before you. Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright. Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil." (Pro. 4:25-27)

I Am coming as a great light and a fresh fire flowing like a fountain to all who have kept their flames lit. 

 
Good morning,
 
    I Am coming as a great light and a fresh fire flowing like a fountain to all who have kept their flames lit.  You are about to experience walking up and down in My name as you recover things that were stolen or that slipped by you this past season.  You will walk boldly as you hold the fire that burns.  This fire will begin to burn away the forests that have kept you from seeing clearly.  Wake up, wake up, for I Am surrounding you with fire and it will be for glory in your midst.  I Am a consuming fire and a Refiner.  You will begin to rejoice at all times as one who is intoxicated with new wine.  Yes, I have squeezed forth new wine from the grapes that have been produced during this last season of trouble.  A change must now come, one that is fueled by the fire that I have ignited in you.  It must be to pray for all that do not know Me or obey Me.  There is a fire igniting for them as well, but not for purification.  There are dual purposes going on at all times.  This same fire will purge some while destroying others.  All who do not love Me will begin to feel this heat turning up on them.  It is time now for you to be about the Kingdom's business.  Snatching souls from the fires that they have set by rejecting Me.
    Harvest time has drawn near in My own field.  There is a dividing line to separate between the tares and the wheat and the sheep and the goats, that have grown and grazed together.  Those that are genuine must be holy still.  You must keep guard and stay in the love of your God, expecting and waiting patiently for the mercy of eternal life.  Do not grow weary in doing right, for your season of recompense is upon you.  I will make a known difference between those who are Mine and those who are not.  Just as the world will experience signs and wonders in the sky and upon the earth, they will experience a new level of signs and wonders being exhibited by My children.  We are about to do awe-inspiring acts, they will know that you are not of this world!
 
    "May the Lord answer you in times of trouble.  May the God of Jacob protect you.  May he send you help from his Holy Place.  May he support you from Zion.  May he remember all the gifts you have offered.  May he accept all your sacrifices.  May he give you what you really want.  May he make all your plans successful.  We will celebrate when he helps you.  We will praise the name of God.  May the Lord give you everything you ask for." (Ps. 20:1-5)

 
    "Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe; For our God [is indeed] a consuming fire." (Heb. 12:28-29)
 
    "But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [[a]make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—[which will bring you] unto life eternal.  And refute [so as to] convict some who dispute with you, and on some have mercy who waver and doubt.  [Strive to] save others, snatching [them] out of [the] fire; on others take pity [but] with fear, loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality.  (Jude 20-23)

 It is most important to pursue holiness this year and fight to stay in the love of God with believers.


Good morning,
 
    It is most important to pursue holiness this year and fight to stay in the love of God with believers. This will require you staying in My Word, know that the enemy desires to weave a root of bitterness.  You must exercise the wisdom that comes only from My Word.  So, if you do not make time to nurture the love that I placed in your heart by Holy Spirit, you will exhaust your natural fill of love.  My love will lift you up above the natural limitations.  Patiently loving will be tested, you must not allow My love to grow cold.  
    Ask and inquire of Me about major decisions for this year.  Acknowledge Me in all of your ways and then I will direct your steps.  This is a choice that each one must make on their own, I never push your will.  I encourage you to yield your will.  Know this, that for all who will yield their members to obey, they will be in a season when the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the planter overtaken by the one reaping.  There will be a quick harvest of seeds sown, both good and bad.  You will not need to wonder about the harvest, it will be a year of rapid return.  A time of multiple harvests, good or bad, take notice of the seeds that you are planting. 
    I Am healing hearts that have been wounded by deep hurts this year.  Your past hurts will be minor compared to the deep healing to occur.  I Am applying My balm to years of tender wounds and bruises that you have carried.  Some that have been the reason that you have not responded to My love as you should have.  I was there when you were abused, misused, discarded, rejected, and felt alone.  I Am the One who will deliver you into a safe haven.  Here is where no weapon or tongue shall rise against you to destroy or bring you despair.  Knowing Me, truly knowing Me will bring security, healing and wholeness, this is what I made you to enjoy.  Living life in the heavenlies, where you are called to come and take your seat.  Here, you can see what I see, that I have made your enemy your footstool.  That you are the one that hold all the authority.  Know that I have placed the power to live a power filled and purpose filled life.  This year, we will shine.  I have allowed the past year of shadow living, in order to turn up the light in all who would live holy for Me.
    I have been a provider, protector and a healer of My children.  All I have ever required is that My children live and walk in humility with Me as they pursue righteousness.  Keep a fire burning for Me with hunger and thirst.  As you Father, I want you to come closer and know My heart towards you.  You are the center of all I do and keep doing.  I have given you My love to love Me completely.
 
    "Therefore, since we have these [great and wonderful] promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, completing holiness [living a consecrated life—a life set apart for God’s purpose] in the fear of God." (2 Corin. 7:1)    
 
    "He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you Except to be just, and to love [and to diligently practice] kindness (compassion), And to walk humbly with your God [setting aside any overblown sense of importance or self-righteousness]?" (Micah 6:8)
 
    "Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart, And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.  In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]." (Pro. 3:5-6)
Love,

 I know you says the Lord.  I know you more intimately than anyone else has ever dared to know you, and I know the enemy has desired to sift you as wheat.

Good morning
 
     I know you says the Lord.  I know you more intimately than anyone else has ever dared to know you, and I know the enemy has desired to sift you as wheat.  But I have prayed for you, and because I stand as the intercessor of your soul, know that there is no weapon, there is nothing that is formed against you that shall ever prosper.  I have seen your tears, yes, and know that weeping may endure for a night but joy, joy comes in the morning, and you have read in My word that they who sow in tears they shall reap in joy.  Joy is coming to you.  There is about to be a turnover for you, for I have taken the tears that you have cried and I have taken them and put them in My precious bottle.  There is a reason why I put them there, it is so that they can turn over for you into a harvest of joy.  I will multiply back to you with every tear that you sowed as you prayed and sought My face in those times through difficult seasons.  I Am bringing you out says the Lord, for I know the way to bring My bride out, I will cause the enemy to be astounded.  I Am bringing you out and those things that have been crushed in you through the wilderness years, I Am using them as a sweet smelling savor.  It will become the perfume that will turn many back to Me says the Lord. Because the enemy desired to sift you I have taken the sifting and the things that he tried to place upon you for destruction and turned them for your good and now I have placed you high above your brethren.  This anointing shall rest upon you all the days of your life and you shall be extraordinarily different and unique in My kingdom says the Lord.  Many shall come because of the fragrance, because of the crushing that has come, many shall come.  Do you not understand that the crushing of the wheat brings more, makes more, and multiplies more in My hand?  So even though the enemy sought to destroy you, he pushed you into more says the Lord.  My hands touching those things that he desired to destroy, I multiplied into goodness, because everything that he meant for your evil I have turned around for your good.  
     This is the season and the harvest of good.  A joy is about to be released in you that you have never felt or experienced, it has been welling up on the inside of you.  Mixed with tears now joy shall burst forth like a river of clarity flowing into your life.  You will find the pleasure that I have for you and in you.  You will walk in it, and every place you go people will almost be infected by that joy that will exude from you, this is a turnover for you.  Do you understand everything has brought you to this place and to this moment and now your faithfulness to Me will abound in goodness?  You will see and understand that there is a sweet smell that I have been busy uncovering in you, that many have been longing for and needing. Yes, you had to go through, the sifting was a necessary journey to make you able to stand.  I have said in My word, even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, fear no evil for there, even there I Am with you.  I am opening my most costly anointing, you.  Even in the dark times I was there, when no one else could be found, I was there.  I Am your faithful Father, the lover of your soul, the keeper of all your tears, and I know what you have gone through and I have been with you every step of the way.  Just know you will walk in your deliverance, walk in your wholeness, your head will be held high and there will be none like you who can stand the beauty that I have placed upon you and the sweet smell that shall come forth from you will intoxicate others into joy.  That is My seal of approval being placed upon you.  I Am not through or done with those things that I Am bringing forth from you. You have not begun to see what great things are in you but get ready, get ready for I am opening up that seal, let it fill the earth.
 
     "But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere, For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing:" (2 Corin. 2:14-15)
     "For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime or in His favor is life.  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Ps. 30:5)
     "You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle.  Are they not recorded in Your book?" (Ps. 56:8)
 
Love,

Good morning,
 
I have brought you this way.
I have brought you this way.
Even though you say, "I have cried a lot".
Even though you sing, "I have cried a lot".  
I have bought you this way.  It was intentional.
Your tears have brought a harvest of joy.
Your tears, your tears will bring a harvest of joy. 
For those who sow in tears will reap in joy. 
Harvest is coming.  
Harvest is coming and it's filled with joy, so much joy.
The difficult ways, the difficult steps, the difficult way you gained the knowledge that you have.
The difficult way that you have known, it was done to make you more like Me.
I have seen to it says the Lord, I have brought you this way to bring about a greatness in your life, to bring about a greatness in your heart so that you would never be moved or be persuaded to do anything other than follow Me all the days of your life.
I have brought you this way, to make you stable and unyielding to testings.
You have seen many giants in your land and I have seen to it, says the spirit of grace and mercy, that they were brought down by your words, brought down by your worship, brought down by your praise.
I have brought you this way to make you the man, or the woman that you are today.  
I have brought you this way even though you did not understand, I knew the way.
I knew the way and I would not change the path to bring about what you are today.
I have brought you this way so that you might stand in times of difficulty, knowing who I Am, never being persuaded to go another way, never listening to the voice of the enemy who would cause you to sway.
I have brought you this way and this is what I planned for you even before you were formed in your mother's womb.  I knew the days, I knew the steps, I knew the way and I brought you this way to fashion and form you into the one who stands before Me, holy, fully persuaded to follow Me all the days of your life.
I have brought you this way, not easily moved by circumstances, nor situations.
I have brought you this way, even though you did not understand when you cried those tears.  I was taking those tears, and I was using them as seeds to multiply back to you a harvest of joy.
I have brought you this way and I knew that you would become the person you are today easily swayed by My spirit, not easily swayed by the enemy.
I knew exactly what I was doing in you.
I knew exactly what I was bringing you to.
I have brought you this way says the Spirit of God.
 
     You thought I had forgotten about you.  You thought I had left you in the valley but I Am a God who is faithful to the promises that I have made to you and I have called you to war with the promises that I have given to you.  Even when it looked like darkness surrounded you, I was even light in the midst of the darkness calling you and causing you to come up.  Come up higher, another step, come up  higher way with Me.  I know your tears, and I know your heartbreak, but now I have turned those things around for your good so that you can save and help many others who are in that place, in that valley, in that place of indecision where the enemy tries to confuse them.  Now you can direct them out of that valley into the light says the Lord.  I anointed your for this season, I anointed you for this time. I have never, never abandon you, but I anointed you for this time. I held you in My hand that is why you stand today.  It is no mighty powerful thing that you have done except yielding to Me, yielded to My way, yielded even when you did not understand what was going on and you held on to My hand.  I have made you, says the Lord into My image, that you might stand before men to bring them into the Kingdom in the last days.  For you know the way, and you know your Father, and you know My heart and it is because you have endured those difficult, hard, and trying things, that you know that I Am faithful, for I brought out. I will never leave you alone and I will never abandon you, but I Am working miracles, signs and wonders in you so that you can do them and walk in them.  That is who I Am, faithful to you, faithful to the call, faithful to My purpose, faithful to My plan, says the Lord.
 
     "And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit." (2 Corin. 3:18)
     "Light arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, and just [who are in right standing with God]." (Ps. 112:4)
     "They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing.He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping [at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing] shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." (Ps. 126:5-6)

 Good Morning,

     Here in Virginia, we have had record breaking snowfall.  It has snowed back to back for two weeks,  snow measuring from twenty to twenty four inches each time.  We've had a total of 54-58 inches of snow.  I know that you are thinking, "why is she giving us a weather report?"  Well, I'd like to share some facts about snow that is natural and they are applied to our lives, making it supernatural.  You know that the natural things are a reflection of the spiritual, most of the time.

     When it snows like this, all forms of transportation, air and ground, can become inhibited, or stopped.  Snow can make roads much harder to travel and causing vehicles to become stuck.  This kind of snow storm will affect all public utilities, electricity, phone lines, and gas supply can fail sometimes.  We have seen buildings, churches, homes, all kind of structures collapse under the loaded weight of the snow.  On the flip side of this, schools, federal government, and work can be officially closed.  While that brings a smile to the majority of us, (especially the child in all of us) it doesn't stop there.  Yes, it closes churches also.  We have not had a Sunday service for two weeks.  We will rejoice to be in the midst of the saints again!

 

     Job 38:22 -"Have you entered the treasuries of the snow, or have you seen the treasuries of the hail, which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?"  Treasuries are the storehouse, the depository.  God has reserved snow for the time of trouble, why?  Let's read the next verse.  "Behold you desire truth in the inner being" make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart.  Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall [in reality] be whiter than snow." (Psalms 51:6-7)

     Yes, snow washes, cleans and purifies the ground, air and the soil.  So we to need the snow of the Spirit to come and stop all the busy activity (the transportation) of our lives in order to go down deeper into our inner most being and purge, purify and wash our hearts.  Giving to us the much needed "quiet time" within our hearts.  Troubled times, that causes all kinds of bacteria and disease of the heart, which will influence and alter our harvest time.  "Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the life of his masters." (Proverbs 25:13)  Our Father allows spiritual snow into our lives to refresh our lives and our souls.  When there seems to be inactivity, know and believe that there is great work being done under the blanket of snow.  Disease that would have tried to kill the product of our walk with God, is being covered with snow, to destroy its strength.  "For as the rain and snow come down from heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.  So shall My word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return void [without producing any effect, useless] but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." (Isa.55:10-11) God's Word is working in us to produce the desired fruit, it is under the covering of snow, but soon it will sprout forth and bud into the promise.  Just like a thermal insulator, snow conserves the heat of the ground (our hearts, where the seed of the Word is sown) protecting the crop from subfreezing weather (troubled times).  The 'spiritual snow' is breaking down man-made 'buildings' of our making, so that we may truly be the buildings of God.  Closing down all of our "official religious thoughts" to replace them with truth in the inmost being.  While we are 'being still' under the snow, we are changing in order to become the most effective that we will ever be.  Let it snow, (with the Word)!

Psalm 51:7
