There are eagles that are about to soar in great flight.  They have streamlined their lives and allowed Me, their Lord to shave away the weights that have kept them grounded in the past.  Weaning them from all that they thought was their source and their necessity.  They have truly discovered I Am their one and only source.  Watch the eagles, climb higher into My presence. They will not settle for the commonplace.  Every step of faith has brought them closer to the clouds of My glory.  The eagles will experience the great torrential rains that I have promised in My Word.  The rains are coming to refresh and blow away all that is stagnant, clearing away all that obscured their vision.  My eagles will create a refreshing wind, for they will carry My anointing and drip it on all who have been waiting for more of Me.  This will increase the desire for all the eaglets in My Kingdom to produce a fresh wind of glory in their environment.  All of My children will desire to grow up and take their place in the army of their God.  Holiness and maturity will be their aim and their goal.  All of those who love Me will seek me again as they did at first.  This fresh wind will start fires, fires will begin to glow. The wind and the fires will cause a dynamic outburst of the Spirit.

New levels of My Spirit producing new levels of My glory.  My people will now walk in sustained levels of power and authority.  This will be the greatest time ever known to My people.  Healings that will encompass spirit, soul and body will be seen as evidence of My favor.  My eagles will be at the forefront of this great time of My manifested glory and healings, yet humility will fan the flame for greater manifestations.  Those who have developed their wings have done so through great seasons of endurance.  I know the many times that they have laid down their own desires to see that Mine would be done.  Such an awakening of my eagles will cause My watchmen to become more alert. Their times of intercession will be fanned by the fires of purpose and their eyes will see with great distinction.  My shepherds will be quickened by the rushing of the wind of my eagles.  The meals that they feed my people will be served with truth and in power.  They will be revived by the same wind, feeding My people with fresh manna.  My people will go throughout their territory bringing restoration to their land.  Rebuilding all that has laid in ruins because of the devastation of the past generations and of the present troubling to their lands.  They will not be distracted any longer by the lies of the enemy.  They will work diligently on one hand while warring for the Kingdom with the other.  This wind of the Spirit will cause supernatural waves of energy, they will never grow weary as they march right on to the new level.  All that they have gone through has been preparation for this time.  The set time for My eagles has come!   My favor will be your great reward.

So I say to you, stir yourself up once again to loving Me.  Revive the fires of your prayer life, ignite your quiet times in My Word, where you learned to hear My voice. Speak life to your times of worship, and you will be transported into My Presence.  Refuse to stop running, and you will see that you be like
a watered garden and an ever-flowing spring.  You will be raised up on high to soar once again as a renewed eagle!

“Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle” (Psalm 103:5)

“And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your soul in scorched and dry places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden , And your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up and restore the age-old foundations [of buildings that have been laid waste]; You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” (Isaiah 58:11-12)

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,

Expect the suddenlies, they come by waiting. I love to do good, I Am always looking for a way to bring good into your life.  As the pressure squeezes you, all of those things that are dead in you will be pushed out.  Just like a wine press that leaves the waste behind and processes the wine for drinking.  Life, new wine of life will burst forth from you.  This wine of new life will anesthetize you to any forms of attack, you will press right through it.  The enemy does not know the resurrected you, he can not perceive the power in this new wine.  You are a new wineskin now, full and overflowing with the best wine.  Yes, I have saved the best for last. You are always drinking from the springs of life that provide fresh and new strength everyday.  In this wine, it gives you wisdom, revelation, insight, along with being fully inebriated, laughing at the ploys and strategies of the enemy.  Using every trial, test, tribulations, as a stepping stool, to lift you up higher into my heavenly realms to hear and know the great and masterful plans that I have for you.  I have ordered steps for you.  Though it seems like time has passed you by, take a look and see, it has brought you to your suddenly.  You have come through the floods and the fires, and you are still ready to fight.  You have grown up, through the very things that you thought would destroy you.  Hold your head up high, you are an ambassador from My kingdom, a winning warrior.

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and
they shall walk and not faint.” Is. 40:31

“The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

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)

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,

Pastor D.

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 restoring the joy of your salvation all you need to do is believe it. I say to rejoice in Me always, for I am doing wonderful things, even behind the scenes. I Am bringing to pass every word I have spoken. I Am not man that I shall lie. Every word I speak is a yes and amen over you so rejoice, always rejoice, knowing that what I say, I do, I will do. I always finish. I always complete and so I say to you this year begins to mark a new year for you. A new year of victory, a new year of walking it out, a new year of not backing down to the enemy. This is your year of glory. This is your year that your head will be held high only because you make a choice and you choose to hold it high. 

Great and mighty men and women shall be forged from fire. Everyone wants the easy way, but I Am preparing great and mighty people that have been brought through the fire. They shall be different and unique, and an anointing shall rest upon them that others have never seen. Signs and wonders shall follow them. They shall not have to run after anything in the kingdom, but because they stand for My word and speak My word, I will back them up with signs, wonders and miracles. It is for anyone who chooses to do My word, for anyone who is determined to walk wholeheartedly. It is for anyone who will run the race and not quit. It is for anyone who is determined to put their hand to the plow of My Word and not let go. It is for anyone who will not look back at the circumstances or situations that surround them daily, for I have overcome everything and I have made you overcomers. I have made you victorious. I have made you the head and not the tail. I made you above and not beneath. You are the ones that  hold the truth in your heart and in your mouth and in your whole being. If you will allow Me to now begin to dig out those dry places, those hard places, and allow the water of My Word to soak you and marinate you in My Word so that every time the enemy pokes you, all that comes forth from you is more of My word. Not your circumstances or your situation, but you will rehearse My Words.  You will become the people who say what I say by rehearsing My word despite the circumstances and situations that you face. For you know that your end is always good, for I made a promise to you that I will bring you to the end, and that end is good. I have spoken it. I have determined it. There is nothing but good for you in store. So keep your head held up. Don’t look to the left or to the right. Circumstances and situations are all around you. Yes, you are enveloped in difficult times but I say to you, look up for your God is about to come. Look up for your redemption draws nigh, look up for I Am soon to come for My bride that is ready. Everything you see is temporary. Everything you hold dear on this earth is temporary except souls only souls. That is what I Am after. I have given you a fresh, new banner to run and many shall follow the banner that you hold up for Me. They will see that I Am victorious therefore you will be victorious too.

“Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be  content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am for I have learned how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want. I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].” (Philippians 4:11-13)

“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.” (Psalm 51:12)

“And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great (transcendent and overwhelming) power and [all His kingly] glory (majesty and splendor). Now when these things begin to occur, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption (deliverance) is drawing near.” (Luke 21:27-28)

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)

Love,
