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 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)

Good morning, 

A new mercy, a new grace, and a special anointing for My people to run this end-time race. There will be some standing in awe, because they will recognize you are different than them. It will be My anointing placed on you to do the great and mighty works that I called you to do. I anointed you before you were born for this set time, a special season. You are right now coming to that place. This is your appointed time, so stand up and be counted among My end-time remnant. I have anointed you for this final hour and know that even though the days may be hard, you will go through them lightly because the anointing will rest upon you. You will be like a deer skipping across the mountain. You will not be weighed down or heavy-hearted anymore. I have taken your tears and I anointed them, and I will multiply a fresh new joy, a greater grace for this final race. You will never be weary anymore as you pray in the Spirit, you will see the great things that I have in store for you now, as well as in the future. So just be and do the things I called you for. Do not be stopped by the enemy. He is a liar anyway, everything he tells you does not come from Me.  So you go on, you go on in victory and you do the things I have anointed you for.

“He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding!” (Daniel 2:21)

“You will arise and have mercy and loving-kindness for Zion, for it is time to have pity and compassion for her; yes, the set time has come [the moment designated].” (Psalm 102:13)

“Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]—” (Jude 1:24)

Good morning,

Yes, you can sense by My Spirit that lives and abides on the inside of you that I Am doing something miraculous. I have opened up in this time and this season, portals, and realms of glory and I Am now causing you to have far greater insight than you have ever possessed because the season is here. It has come upon you, some unawares, others, they have been watching, waiting, and hoping for this very moment, and to you, it is something supernatural that you have longed for. To others, it is almost a spectacle that they are afraid to walk into but for you who are called by My Spirit, you are walking in and partaking of all that I have given to you for this final hour, this final time, and this final season. Everything up to now has been in preparation for this final hour and season. My people will shine because they will begin to walk in what I have given them, and demonstrations of power, of My precious spirit shall begin to flow from them like they have not seen it demonstrated before.  Men and women will come to know Me. And it shall come at the same time, just as men and women are coming to know Me, those who have been cold, and lukewarm, will begin to slide away from My presence. But those who are hungry and thirsty, will rise to the top and rise to the surface. They will become God’s known giants in the land and the enemy will be afraid of the wonders and signs that they will do in My name. So great are My end-time warriors, great is the anointing that I placed on you to walk in. You will know and sense that the spirit is on the increase, We are on the increase in all that I Am doing in the days that are ahead.

So get in on what I Am doing, don’t stand on the sideline looking in. Come on in into the deep. Come on in into the deep. Come on into the greater  that I have set aside for you. I knew the season that you would walk in, and I prepared a great waking to Me, a great anointing, a great and large place for you to walk in. Come on in. Yes, and that is why the enemy has come in a greater way. He is trying to pull the wool over My people’s heart he is trying to pull blinders over your eyes. He is using everything he can do to cause your ears not to be attentive, your eyes not to see, to overwhelm your senses, but I say greater is the one on the inside of you He is giving you the ability to recognize and discern the things that are now coming. Be alert, be watching, always knowing that I have already overcome everything the enemy can come up with.

“But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden [from the human understanding] and now revealed to us by God—[that wisdom] which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification [to lift us into the glory of His presence]” (1 Corinthians 2:7)

“For you shall forget your misery; you shall remember it as waters that pass away. And [your] life shall be clearer than the noonday and rise above it; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning. And you shall be secure and feel confident because there is hope; yes, you shall search about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.” (Job 11:16-18)

“Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)

Good morning, 

My watchmen have sounded My alarm, they have been faithful to sound the alarm. And many other watchmen have remained faithful while My people were committing two evils. They have neglected their first love and have become busy running after other loves, but I will always have a few that remain true in their love for Me, My watchman have sounded my alarm. The trumpet is sounded to assemble My people, to come together. It has sounded to assemble My people to be war-ready. It has been sounded to wake My people who have been lulled to sleep by the happenings of this world and the cares of their lives. Some have not listened to their first love and left the path of the straight and narrow.  So I sound the alarm to call My people to repentance and to recommit to Me so that from this moment on, everything that you do will be in light of eternity. As you refresh yourself, you will clearly see that your best is yet to come. Just keep your trust in Me and My Word I Am faithful. It does not matter what is going on right now, your best is yet to come. You must continue to be patient and strengthen yourself, knowing that the coming of your Lord is near. I Am coming, no matter the constant questioning of when Am I coming.  I Am coming. Stay ready and be prepared. Remember and recount, I said one day in Me is as 1000 years. I Am not slow, but I Am long-suffering towards all that must be saved. Keep yourself in My love and draw closer to Me by My love, you will be preserved by your love for Me. I shed it abroad in you by My Spirit. I Am not slow concerning My promises. You must spend this time that I Am giving you filling yourself to overflow with My word and becoming more intimate with Me in the revealing of who I Am through My word. Keep looking up for your redemption does draw near. Keep looking up. 

  “At that time, people will sing this song in Judah. We have a strong city with strong walls and defenses, but God gives us our salvation. Open the gates for the good people to enter. They are God’s faithful followers. God you give true peace to people who depend on you, to those who trust in you. So trust the Lord always, because in the Lord Yah you have a place of safety forever.”(Isaiah 26:1-3 ERV)

“The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, believers) say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take and drink the water of life without cost.” (Revelation 22:17)

“Blow the trumpet in Zion [warning of impending judgment], Sound an alarm on My holy mountain [Zion]! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble and shudder in fear, For the [judgment] day of the Lord is coming; It is close at hand,” (Joel 2:1)

Good morning,

The grace of your Father to live a more meaningful and powerful life as a witness will come upon you My yielded ones. You will experience a fresh fire from Holy Spirit and you will be set ablaze. It will increase as the year goes on and will not be consumed by the outer influences of testing and trials. You will desire a more intimate relationship with Me, pressing in for a deeper understanding of the times and seasons. Just like the sons of Issachar, there will be an urgency in you to increase your discernment, you will recognize that it only deepens as you stay hidden in the secret chambers with Me. As you receive moment by moment refreshing from an intravenous hookup to My presence. You will hear My voice clearly, able to distinguish it from all others because that is what intimacy with a Lover produces. It produces an awareness and closeness to the Lover that you invest your time with. You are now ripe and ready for this journey. Here every part of you will be laid open so that I may walk you through to wholeness and as you yield yourself to the process of maturation you will arise to the high place that I made you to walk in. Trust Me to do the continued work. You will see yourself go from Abram to Abraham. You will walk by faith in unknown territory, sometimes unafraid because it is unfamiliar to you, but remember that I chartered the course for you. Run to Me in those times, our intimacy will bring comfort and peace, and fear will be no more. Just follow Me. I have prepared a landing place, a safe haven for you. Be like Ruth who left what was known to walk into her future. I had her promise waiting for her to step into her destiny. All that is required was for her to trust Me and follow. I will not fail any of My people who put their trust in Me. I Am the faithful Father, I always keep My Word. While you look not at the things that are seen but at the unseen realm. It is where I await to respond to your faith. This is why you must dedicate yourself to being more intimate so that you know Me and hear My voice. In the days ahead there will be times of testing and many hard labor pangs but during those seasons know that you will see My goodness and My kindness shown to you. You will know the signs of the times through My Word and intimacy. You will see the generation crumbling under the ways of the enemy in every area, physically, socially, and spiritually. A great advancing to the deeper darkness where sin abounds, you will arise and shine bright.  Do not fear, be bold and courageous. You must speak up and speak out against ungodly injustices. There is a distinct difference between the ones who apply My blood over their lives and those who do not. This distinction has already begun in My house.

“He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding”! (Daniel 2:21)

“So Jesus said to them, You will have the Light only a little while longer. Walk while you have the Light [keep on living by it], so that darkness may not overtake and overcome you. He who walks about in the dark does not know where he goes [he is drifting].” (John 12:35) 

“All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.” (Psalm 25:10)

Love,
