When the enemy of your soul comes against you in a fight, recognize this one thing, he shall flee before you seven ways. For I say that every promise that I have made to you is a yes and amen. I Am fulfilling all of My Word. I Am not like man, there is no lying within My lips, what I speak to you it is a yes and an amen, and you can count on Me to do it. So when the enemy comes, do not shake in your fear. In fact, turn around and tell him what your Father has already done, let him know what I Am capable and able of doing and what I will always do for My own. I take care of My own. You are My children, My very own, My beloved, and I will take care of you. There is nothing that can come against you that I cannot cause to scatter into so many directions, and cause to lose its power. I say to you that no matter what goes on in your life, as you continue to encourage yourself, I will strengthen you, I will build you up. I will cause you to see things in the spirit realm that you never saw before. You will see things working out for your good, to cause you to stand no matter what is coming against you. So now know that I Am strengthening you. You are not as weak as the enemies lies tell you that you are, stand still and you will see the salvation of your God. I Am faithful to watch over My word to perform it on your behalf, and I Am doing it even now.  

     There is not one jot not one tittle of My Word that will ever pass away, I will do what I said I would do. My promises are sure as the foundation of this earth, even though things may crumble and shatter around about you, I and My Word still stand. So My Word stands with you, and so I Am seeing to you right now, as a good Father does, I will not let you fail. I will not let you down. I will cause you to lift your head up in the midst of the enemy lies and see triumph and victory at every turn because I Am Jehovah Jireh I see ahead and provide. I go before you and behind you, and I surround you with all victory. So count it joy! Give Me glory and praise right in the midst of wherever you are standing in now, knowing that I Am causing your enemy to scatter and to flee before your eyes. That is what I do, that is who I Am, a good Father. I Am the faithful Father, and you can depend on Me.

     “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 strengthen 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.” (Isaiah 41:10)

     “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

     “And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

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,

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,

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)

Love,

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)

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 opening up glory realms so that you might walk closer to Me than ever. You will hear My voice very clearly. You will see what I Am saying very simply, and you will walk in boldness. For this is the time that My sons and daughters shall rise, and they will walk in holiness, and they will walk in the fear of their Father, and begin to demonstrate to the world how great their Father is. Men and women will know that I Am a mighty delivering Savior. My people went out with My glory, signs and wonders followed them with demonstrations of My power, walking in holiness, with demonstrations of all that I Am. Men will know that you that you have talked With Me, and that you have been in My presence. For My presence will begin to flow over your body like a shield. It will be like a cloud of glory that you are walking under. My power will emanate from you and signs and wonders will follow you. This is the season of My children living under My umbrella of glory. This is the season of the anointed ones. The harvest will be plentiful as many will be saved as they are snatched from the fire in this season. At the same time, many that have been complacent in my house will grow colder.

I have anointed you for this time. I have appointed you for this time. This is your destiny. This is your purpose. This is the reason you were born in this time and this season. So rise up knowing that I have anointed you and appointed you. My hand lays heavy upon you, and so does My cloud of glory. So go forth now in the mighty power of your Father, knowing that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. This is the days of the glory of your Father. This is the days of the Anointed One. Go forth in great humbleness and power, and I will show you who I Am. Every day you will know Me more intimately. This is the opening of the revelation portals and realms of glory for you, portals and realms and glory for you! Our finest hour is here.

“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn…” (Isaiah 54:17)

“And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name, they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; they will pick up serpents: and even if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick and they shall get well.” (Mark 16:17-18)

“Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you—rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!  For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 60:1-3)

Good morning,

  Look beyond the temporary things, look beyond the circumstances of this world. They are very temporal. Yes and as much as you think they are eternal, they are not, they are brief and fleeting. My word is eternal, what I have planned for you is eternal. These things are temporal and are subject always to My Word, and they will change as you speak and declare My Word over every evil, wicked circumstance that the enemy brings against you. Already know that it is defeated, but it is waiting on your voice, your words to say so, and then every enemy will bow to My name.  Every demon shivers at the sound of My Words coming forth through your mouth. When you speak, they are afraid, when you declare My Word, they tremble but if you do not open your mouth and speak what you desire and claim in My name they will continue to arrest and oppress you. So speak out and declare My present promises they are ever faithful. I keep and watch My Word to perform it on your behalf, and I Am the same God yesterday, today and forevermore, I Am doing great things. Open your eyes and see the wonders that I Am doing. Do not keep your eyes on the things that the enemy is doing. He is trying to get your attention, affection and your words to line up with fear. I Am trying to get you to line up with My Word by your faith so great and mighty things shall happen. There is no weapon that the enemy has formed against you that can hold back the power of My word spoken by a saint who truly believes. I will do exactly what I said I would do. So speak, declare, and decree, and I will cause the army of heaven to walk boldly with you to see that everything you decree comes to pass. That is what I am waiting for. Open your mouth. Give Me glory and praise and honor, and watch and see these things that the enemy has formed against you, they are turning around even now. They cannot be held back. I will do it for you, because I Am, your Abba, your Daddy, your Father and I Am doing wonderful things that you could never, ever think of or perceive in your mind, I Am doing it.

“But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it.” (Deuteronomy 30:14)

“If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.” Deuteronomy 28:1)

“Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)

Good morning,

For in you, I Am well pleased. The enemy has lied to you because of the circumstances of your life, the things you are going through, and how you have handled certain situations. You thought you walked out of order and missed Me. I said My mercy and grace hovers over you all the time, for I know your heart, and I know you desire to be pleasing unto Me otherwise you would not keep coming back for correction. You keep coming back, no matter how far you fall, and I pick you up, and I realize and recognize the things you think on, but I see you through eyes of faith. You are well loved. You are well-loved, My beloved ones, and I want you to know I Am pleased with every step that you have taken. Come closer and draw nearer to Me. I look not at the things that you did that caused you to fall, but I pick you up and I strengthen you with My Words and My love and My encouragement. You do not know how much I truly love you. No love can be measured on this earth to the love that I have for you and that I possess towards you. I will always, always be loving you, to heal you, to deliver you, to set you free, to bring you up higher, to make you understand My ways, My purposes, and the destiny I have for you. It is always good, so I Am pleased with your efforts that you have done so far. Your minds, protected by My grace, protected by My Mercy, protected by My arms and My wings of love, there is no failure in you. I see the good in you.

“He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions, And under His wings you will find refuge;” (Psalm 91:4) 

“The LORD appeared to me (Israel) from ages past, saying, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you. His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.” (Jeremiah 31:3)

“And try to learn [in your experience] what is pleasing to the Lord [let your lives be constant proofs of what is most acceptable to Him].” (Ephesians 5:10)

Love,
