Good morning.

We are living in the most exciting time in God’s timetable!  As we read the Word of God it is almost like having a panoramic view of our daily “news at eleven.”  The Word of God is daily unfolding before our very eyes.  As we see what is happening in Israel and also what is going on in our very own neck of the world, it should be fueling your fire for more of God.  Romans 8:19-25 says, “For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who His children really are.  Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse (because of the fall of mankind).  But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.  For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.  And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering.  We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as His adopted children, including the new bodies He has promised us.  We were given this hope when we were saved [if we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it.]  But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we “must wait patiently and confidently.“

    We are in the season of God’s timetable, where all that can be shaken is being shaken.  All false foundations and securities are being shaken and removed.  Anything we thought that was our security is being revealed as sinking sand.  Our trust must be developed in the One true security.  Remember we saw in Hebrews 12:26 & 27, “His voice shook the earth at (Mt. Sinai) then, but now He has given a promise, saying, Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.  This means that all creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things remain.” God and His Kingdom are the only things that are secure.  While the economy, jobs, people, nations, and earthly kingdoms are shaking, we must look up to our Kingdom, whose Builder and Maker is God.  As ambassadors from God’s Kingdom, when the land that we occupy as ambassadors proves to be intolerable, the ambassadors are brought back to their homeland.  Our King is about to call all of his ambassadors home!  So, keep your mind on your ‘eternal home’, we are only here temporarily, representing our ‘heavenly country’.  I’ve heard it said, “that sometimes we are so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good.”  I have come to see the opposite is true, ‘that we can become to earthly minded to be any heavenly good’.  After all our ‘home’ is in heaven and we receive our insight to live and to occupy this land from the headquarters in heaven. “…Aim at and seek the rich eternal treasures that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.” (Col.3: 1-2)  So, let the earth shake and groan into ‘global warming’, it is going through death and decay because of sin.  Creation, your wait is almost over, the sons of God are being manifested now.  We are growing up into mature sons of God. “Besides this you know what a critical hour it is, how it is high time now for us to wake up out of our sleep.  For salvation [final deliverance] is nearer to us now than when we first believed.” (Romans 13:11)

Good morning,

Remember the first love we enjoyed together!  The days when you innocently began to desire Me, when you yearned to truly know Me.  How you longed to know me.  It was beautiful and you began the journey towards Me.  I made you enticingly beautiful for Me, and your heart was very sensitive to My every Word.

    Then you began to want something more, more like the place that I delivered you from.  You began to long for the old familiar lovers, those who hurt you, abused you, ripped you of your honor and stripped you of your dignity.  Those who stole your innocence and broke you into many tiny pieces.  They made you lie, cheat, steal and even sell yourself for their pretentious love.  The lovers who did not see the costly value of you.  By the time you finally gave up and let go of the abuse of their love, you were shattered and broken.  Yes, and remember I was there waiting for you to realize that there was real love for you.  I then began to fix every broken place that was in tiny pieces.  I never caused you any more damage, but gently and lovingly I repaired and replaced every broken dream and every shattered vision.  I found you in the place of despair and right there I healed you and loved you.  I placed in you and upon you My precious jewels; tenderness, kindness, meekness, joy, peace, goodness, faithfulness, self-control and love.  I placed upon you a garment of praise for that spirit of heaviness, beauty for ashes of your broken life.  I continued giving to you, a shield of faith, a helmet of salvation, belt of truth, a breastplate of righteousness and I placed on your feet the gospel of peace.  I pulled your face out of the muck that your old lovers left you in.  I have caused you to stand.  I pre-pared and pre-paid a place for you, a place beyond all your dreams and imaginations.  I have given you a place of honor with kings.

Now would you turn back to the place I picked you up from?  What desires are you really longing for?  It is the mind set of one who has never experienced My true love.  You behave as one that has not known My presence.  I desire for you to know Me more intimately, yet you desire the dung of this world.

Hear My voice as I again tenderly call you back to Me.  Come away with Me, My fair one, come away where the little foxes cannot spoil our vineyard of love.  Come away and come closer that you can look and gaze deeply into My eyes and see the longing that I have for you.  You will remain Mine, only Mine.  Your adulterous heart will be replaced with a faithful heart.  For I Am a jealous love and I must have your heart alone, you must have eyes only for Me. Make your love “One” true love and make it Me.  I Am awaiting your reply.  Let it be, yes, for this will make you truly alive, living in My love!

    Do not allow traditions of men, religious exercises, old loves and lovers of sin to separate you from Me.  Run to Me and run away from the “old familiar voices”.  I have given you My life, so now live it with Me.  A lifetime of committed love.  You have spent your life trying to get love from all others, all that I am asking is that you receive all that I have to give to you.  Say yes to true love.

“My beloved speaks and says to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.” (Song of Solomon 2:10)

“For you shall worship no other god; for the Lord, Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous (impassioned) God,” (Exodus 34:14)

“The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17)

Good morning,

Because of your faithful love to Me, I will begin to sweep you away.  In quiet moments of our intimate relationship, as you climb into My arms, I will bring you even closer.  There you will begin to hear Me as I sing songs of Our victorious love.  You will arise from that place of rest and become a recognizable force for the enemy, you will war with My Word, like you have never done before.  A strong anointing shall rest upon you as you begin to rise to the level of the anointing that I have placed upon you.  Because you have remained loyal to Me when it was easier for you to turn your back on Me, because you did not understand the season that you were in.  You remembered your first love and kept the flame burning for Me.  I Am enamored by your good love for Me.  My sweet dove, My little ones who have looked always on My countenance.  You are about to experience from heaven open doors, take this season and bring to Me those things that will expand My kingdom. 

I Am now increasing the spirit of boldness, so that you may accomplish now, what was an impossibility in times past.  Increased revelation flowing to you in the night season that will shine brighter than your noonday sun.  Light that clears away all that darkness left behind, no more not knowing, but seeing clearly what I Am doing in this season.  You are ones that will begin now, to display My glory and My righteousness.  There will be no stopping you now.  You have shaken off the slumber, the weights, the cares, take flight My mighty eagles.  I will show you the vastness and the deepness of My heart, for you have been crying out; “more, more, I know that there is more of You and your awesomeness.”  I Am responding to that deep longing and yearning of your heart, My bride, My fair one.  I Am arising now to your aide and your rescue.  Your meditation of Me has brought to you revelation upon revelation.  For those who have not hearkened to My voice, the Spirit of the Lord says come, draw closer to Me, I am gathering My loves together.  Pursuing Me has My rewards with it.  In this place of safe refuge I will begin to shower you with healing waters, right now feel the soothing rivers flow.  Flowing through all the broken places, the parched and stilled places of your heart and mind.  I have never forsaken you, My dear ones.  I was there when you were being assaulted, it was Me, that kept you alive and kept your mind sound.  I never abandoned you, you are always Mine as long as you allow Me and keep your eyes on Me.  I Am now hemming you in for your own protection and for your own keeping.  Remain in Me, as I will remain steady and faithful to you.

“The wicked flee when no man pursues them, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1)

“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” (Isaiah 40:31)

“Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless.” (Mark 4:19)

Good morning,

I Am assembling a mighty army, one that does not listen to the lies of the enemy. One who has come through many trials, tests, and tribulations, purified by the fire. The fire that I allowed them to go through so that this day they might stand. A people unafraid to say what I say when I say it, speaking truth boldly in the midst of everything that is contrary to what I Am doing and what I Am saying. I Am saying to My people right now to prepare. To get themselves ready not to be set aside and set away, but to be prepared to be persecuted for the Truth of My Word. For many of My children have never yet understood persecution. You have gone along through this world saying whatever you want to, whenever you felt like it, but many times the enemy would send a small example of what persecution looked like. The persecution will be different, and those who come through will be those who have spent their time with Me. All who are godly will suffer persecution, Developing character, making sure that My Word is trustworthy and that it is in their heart so that at any moment they can speak it forth and see it come to pass. Letting it flow forth from their very being until it is who they are. Because they have become more like Me as they spend time in the secret place, ready and willing for the times and the days that are ahead. 

  So prepare yourself by going often into the secret place than you have ever gone. Begin to sit there. Listen, take heed. Pay attention to what I Am speaking to you for the days ahead they will not be light and easy, but you will come through victorious every time. For My Word will go before you as a banner of victory. You will stand. You will stand victorious through every situation and every circumstance. You will be bold, strong, and courageous. That is the Army that I have prepared. And nothing that I put My hand to fails, and you will not fail!

“Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].” (Ephesians 6:13)

“Indeed all who delight in piety and are determined to live a devoted and godly life in Christ Jesus will meet with persecution [will be made to suffer because of their religious stand]” (2 Timothy 3:12)

“Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.” (Romans 5:3)

Good morning,

As you keep running in the race, you may become weary, I encourage you to keep moving. Your promise land is so close, it is a breath away. You are stronger than when you first believed. Your spiritual muscles and stamina is much more than you think. The enemy will try to discourage you with all of the things you can see or feel. I know that the physical world is strong but it is not stronger than your spiritual world.  Here in the realm of the spirit you are always an overcomer, victory is yours no matter the temporary circumstances. I Am sending you help from on high, yes ministering angels are standing ready to bring to pass all things that have been promised through My Word. I Am the watcher over My Word to manifest it in your life. Put your hope, trust, and confidence in Me. I will not fail to do what I have spoken. I Am the Lord who sees and provide. Remember that you also sit with Me in heavenly places above all of the things of earth. I have given you eagle eyes, you see it before it manifests. You have been given all authority over all the power of the enemy, you are the ambassadors on earth. I have given to you everything that pertains to life and godliness, which means you are always the victor, Come on My children, you can do this you are made in My image and filled with all My glory. You have angel help, Holy Spirit assistance, My Word, which is the Father and I. You got this. Get back up and run this race, placing one strong stride in front of the other. 

“Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, my Help and my God” (Psalms 42:5)

“Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14)

“For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.” (2 Peter 1:3)

Good morning,

To all those who have kept My Word, for all that continue to do My Word, I provide for you an umbrella, a divine umbrella of protection that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Underneath this umbrella all power, all glory and all honor that I have given to you shall come upon you and cause you to excel in all of your ways. My grace, My grace shall abound upon you. That means you shall receive more strength, more ability, more might, more dominion, as you keep and continue to keep My Word, for I watch over My word to perform it for those who are actually keeping My Word. And as you keep My Word this divine umbrella sees to it that though the enemy designs a weapon, though the enemy designs a plan, and though the enemy designs a way to try to get at you, he can never succeed at his design, his purpose and his way. It is always altered, always stopped, always changed by My very presence. It is My purposes and plans that prevails for you. The enemy knows that you are kept, yes, and that is why he is always trying to get you to be unkept, to come out from under the umbrella by doing foolish things, by not doing My word, by not keeping My promises. Stay under the umbrella, says the Spirit of grace therein you will find that I will continually surround you with a force, with a mighty force that no weapon can penetrate, no matter how hard it tries. You are divinely secured in all ways. I will keep you, through sickness, through financial disaster, even through social ails and things that come upon this world. You will be kept by My power, unaccessible, for there is nothing that shall cause you to be moved. You have made yourself stable and sure by standing on My Word nothing shall shake the foundation that you have chosen. So be sure of who you serve. Be sure of My Word. Be confident, count it all joy that you are serving a true and faithful Father that never changes, never alters My Word. I Am enduring through all the ages, and I never fail. 

“Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will perform it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24

“Count it all joy my brethren when you fall into divers temptations, knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience.” James 1:1-2

“And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I Am with thee, saith the Lord; to deliver thee.” Jeremiah 1:19

Good morning,

  I Am breaking open the vault. I Am allowing you to see things that you never thought you would see. I Am causing you to gaze into a place of loveliness and a place of power, into a place where I Am working so that you might understand I never stop doing what I promised you I would do. I never take My hands off a promise unless you ask Me to. I Am perfecting and performing every good thing towards your life. I Am doing it even when it seemed like difficult situations come and stop and alter My plan, it never does for I Am a God that starts and accomplishes for a perfect end. There is nothing that the enemy can throw in the midst of what I start to stop it. I just keep on moving through to My desired end, the enemy cannot stop My plan nor My purpose in your life. You are the only one who can hinder that. So as long as you stay with Me, stay with My promise, believe in Me, holding My hand, allowing Me to pick you up when you are weary and tired and carry you to the next level and carry you to the next step. We will do it. We will accomplish it. We will finish it.

I Am not done with My children, but I Am working now through those who will yield to Me and give Me their whole being. Everything that you understand and that you do not for I Am greater than your understanding. I Am the God of understanding so when you don’t know what is going on, trust Me, I do know. I Am working it out for you. I Am bringing these things to pass, even using the difficult moments and situations that you do not comprehend for I Am putting all pieces together. All things work together for your good to bring you to a stronger person,  a stronger one that I have called you to be.  I have never been unfaithful to you, do not be unfaithful to Me. Keep My Word, keep My promises, and you will see I will receive the glory. I will cause you to receive the glory and together we will share the glory that is gotten through and by My name. 

 You are in a war. Recognize the enemy does not quit, you cannot afford to stop either. You must learn to follow in motion and stay in step and stay in tune with My Spirit, doing exactly what I called you to do, whether it feels good or not. I Am bringing you to the divine purpose and end that I made to you the first time you gave your life to Me. I have not changed nor altered  My mind about you. I said it was good and it is good!

  “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Your law.” (Psalm 119:18)

“Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure and purpose,” (Isaiah 46:10)

“But [only] with [God] are [perfect] wisdom and might; He [alone] has [true] counsel and understanding.” Job 12:13)

Good morning,

By now you know My voice, all I need is one who will be quick to obey, not halting between two opinions, yours and Mine. Just do what I tell you, without your add-ons and you will find every time you will succeed because there is no weapon, there is none created, none devised by the enemy or this world system that can stop you. If you stay in line with My word and simply obey Me, you will find success and victory every time. You will come through victorious every time.  Since I go before you, every weapon bows before Me, everything that is created to destroy you bows before My very presence. So I cover you, I shield you, I protect you. All I need you to do is take the steps and follow Me, for as you follow Me, there is nothing that you can ever fail in, you will succeed. You will see that I will not fail you, I will not stop, My Word is your shield and your weapon. As you say My Word then I have access into your life to bring My desired results to pass.  I will not quit until I bring you into that divine promise that I gave you and that I Am constantly giving you. Look, My record is proven through time and by My children that have listened and obeyed, they have enjoyed success and victory. I Am not man and I will not and cannot lie, believe Me for My works and My history or simply believe My Word. I Am the same God, I Am changeless. Anyone that puts their trust in Me will never be denied My promise, I Am before you and behind to shield you and surround you. You are safe in My arms. I will never hurt or harm you, I Am good and have your plans for good in My heart and all of My actions bring about the good that I planned for you before the foundation of this world. Trust Me, even in the midst of troubles, I will bring it to pass and it will be good for you. I Am Abba, your Father.

“For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations” (Psalm 100:5)

“Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.” (Psalm 23:6)

“There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.  God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning].” (Psalm 42:5-6)

“Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Good Morning,

I am sending a previous teaching that ministered to my heart, I pray that it ministers to you as well. Remember; Joshua 1:9; Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. 

I read 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 to them a covering while they transition, I know He covers us as we change.  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 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.”

Last week we saw that Is. 41: 18 and 19 says, “Do not remember the former things; neither consider the things of old.  Behold I am doing a new thing!  We saw that we have to forget the past in order to move on to the new.  New means something fresh, existing for a short time, recently manifested, recently recognized or experienced, different or distinguished from what has previously existed, being other than the former of the old.  Are you expecting the new?  As you struggle to exit your cocoon of transition, remember you are developing wings so that you can soar higher in Christ than you have ever did before.  You are actually growing during this transition at an astounding rate.  I like what God said in Is. 41:10…”I will strengthen you and harden you to difficulties..”

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.  “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.” (Jer. 29:11)  So, no matter what (if you stay in Him), your outcome will always be better than your “start” into change.  We are getting ready to exit through transition, strong and prepared for the new.

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

So be encouraged. There is not ever a battle that I Am involved in that you lose, you always win. I never stop, that I Am constantly working on your behalf even to the end. That is what My Word says, even till the end I Am working. So do not give up hope. Don’t allow the enemy to steal the very thing that anchors you in your faith, your hope. Stand and having done all stand therefore, knowing that you are equipped for everything that the enemy throws at you, because I Am an overcomer, so are you. You will overcome everything that he throws at you. There is nothing, I do not care how insignificant or how powerful the problem or circumstance is that he throws against you, that I Am not able to come against and have already made a way of escape and I have already provided for you the answer. For I Am the answer, I Am the way, there is nothing that can come against Me. I go before you so understand when the enemy comes against you, I Am before you, and behind you, so nothing can touch you that I have not dealt with.   I have you safely secured in My arms. There is no one, no enemy, not one of his cohorts that can come against you, that will succeed as long as you stay nestled in My arms. There is no weapon, not one that will prosper, do you hear Me, it will not succeed? So hold your head up high, knowing who you are, that you are already a conqueror, that you have already surpassed everything that the enemy can throw at you. You are a mighty warrior of God and know who you are, so continue to fight. Yes, fight with My word, fight in praise, and fight in worship, knowing that you are an overcomer. Knowing that you are victorious, knowing that I have already conquered anything that you would ever face. I Am the overcomer! I Am the Almighty God! I Am the one who has defeated the enemy! I Am God and there is none like Me and there is no one like you.

“Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] countenance, and my God.” (Psalm 43:5)

“Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God” (Ephesians 6:13-14)

“The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!” (Exodus 15:2-3)

Love,

Pastor D.
