Good morning,

There are moments in deep worship where I bring you to gaze upon My loveliness.  As you gaze upon Me you are continually being changed into My very own image.  As you keep gazing, you will see those things that once hindered you from being truly free, fall from you like a feather blowing in the wind.  What was hard for you was dust in the wind to Me.  You will become free to follow Me up to mountains of victory.  Every mountain of testing and trouble has prepared you so that you are able to navigate easily the new mountains of victory.  As you go up higher, where the altitude is thinner you will be able to maintain a soundness, whereas those who have never been up so high would fall away and faint.  You have allowed yourself to be trained by Me in those difficult places and steep areas that were meant to bring you down, instead, you developed ‘hind’s feet.’
At this high altitude, it is a place of great light for understanding and revelation. You will begin to understand those deep things now, for I have taken you into My light, which minimizes obscurity.  Yet, be aware at the same time that this great light of revelation comes, it will be accompanied by great persecution. When you receive deeper insight, you will have more responsibility for what I give to you.  You must handle with wisdom what I give.  For to whom much is given, much is required.  Treat this next level as a prized treasure, for I Am bringing to the surface all that will advance My Kingdom.  Remember it is My Kingdom that you are living for, it is not only for yourself or another.  Use it as I direct you into the arenas that I instruct.  This great light is come for you, so that you may rise and shine and bring those who have been crying to see the light.  You will be a reservoir for them, not a pool.  I will pour you out freely to all that I will send you to.  Obedience is what I require. Obedience is simple if you love Me.  As you step up into the light you are moving further away from darkness, and as you move up you will incur jealousy, persecution, and hatred.  It will be from those who say they are in the light, yet their hatred, jealousy, and persecution stem from the force of darkness.  They who do evil hate the light.  For they who persecute My children, who walk in the light, they are persecuting Me.  From these, withdraw!  Do not be afraid to keep walking closer to Me and My light, let your love for Me be your driving force.  The false have always persecuted the real.  Now My children who are children of the light will be reflecting the light of heaven.  Duplicating what they have seen in the heavenlies, from their times of deep worship.  Living in what to
some may be the ‘miraculous’ will become normal to My light-walkers.

“But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18)

“[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]” (Ephesians 1:17)

“The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet And makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility].” (Habakkuk 3:19)

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

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

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

The day is far spent and night is coming and I require My children to begin to work diligently while it is still light.  

 
Good morning,
 
    The day is far spent and night is coming and I require My children to begin to work diligently while it is still light.  Do the things I have called you to do and do them quickly.  You may not think that you are qualified but because I have anointed you, you are qualified and I will bless everything that you are doing and have done.  I will count it a blessing and you will receive the latter day anointing for it. You will have the double portion of the former and the latter anointing to accomplish the work. You will receive the reward laid up that I have for all My children who obey Me.  Those tasks that I have given you may seem small but it causes a whole world to change.  I Am not asking you to do something ordinary, for you are out of the ordinary, set apart for My use, but I Am asking you just to simply follow Me and you will find yourself stepping into the extraordinary. The things that I have called, set, and appointed for you to enjoy in these last days will be different.  I know the way that is why I Am requiring you to lean on Me.  You will have great peace as all chaos breaks out, you will remain in peace because you have put your hands in Mine and allowed Me to lead you to those things that I have called, anointed, and appointed you for this time and in this season.  Looking not at the things that you see, but to Me, I Am the light bringer.  I will illuminate every step that you take. I will become brighter as you rely on Me and not your senses.  I Am up to doing something new, not seen by you or others.  Know that we will do greater works in the days ahead for you have put your trust in Me.  We must do the works that I first put in your hands, for I have counted you faithful in your service to the Kingdom.  Know that your faithfulness will cause you to abound with blessings.
 
    "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (John 14:12)
 
    "A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich [at any cost] shall not go unpunished." (Pro. 28:20)
 
    "Thus says the Lord Who made [the earth], the Lord Who formed it to establish it—the Lord is His name: Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand)." (Jer. 33:2-3)
 
    "Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Is. 43:18,19)

 My people are asking what “am I” doing in the midst of this pandemic?  Many are asking where “am I” in the midst of this?

Good Morning,
 
     My people are asking what "am I" doing in the midst of this pandemic?  Many are asking where "am I" in the midst of this?  I Am where I always Am, I Am right in the midst, I Am the same deliverer and preserver.  In this time and in this season that you are in, I have allowed the wheat and the tare to grow together.  I have allowed the sheep and the goat to feed together and now in the midst of this I am separating.  I Am separating the wheat from the tare, I Am separating the sheep from the goat by My spirit.  I Am making a difference between those who are Mine and those who are not.  Those who are Mine, they are beginning to burn even brighter.  Like the city on a hill, their light is becoming extreme.  Their light is causing many to turn and see that there is a difference between those who are  completely mine and those who have been in My house who have not been faithful to Me.  So hold on to My hands, and do not change, for I am unchanging.  Do not alter your stand for Me, for as you stand strongly with Me and for Me, I will see to it that you are overcomers.  I will bring to your hands all that I have laid up for you.  Those hidden riches in secret places that I have kept for you will be given.  Because of your faithfulness you will abound in many areas, not only in the prosperity of this world, but in the spiritual richness that I placed on the inside of you.  It will come from you, flowing freely because you have sat and basked in the beauty of your Father.  You have stayed in My presence in the midst of diverse trials and tribulations, you remained faithful.  I will crown you with beauty and glory that this world has never seen.  You will be different, unique, do not try to be like everybody else for I have caused that separation to come.  Be bold, be strong, be courageous and shine brightly for the world needs the light that is being pulled forth from you during the dark hours of life.  Do not put out the light on the inside of you, let it shine forth brightly.  Follow Me, I will show you the way during this season.  Stay close, every step that I take, take the same steps, do not try to get ahead of Me, neither lag behind Me.  I never forsake My own, never, in the midst of every famine and every plague, I have always protected, preserved and prospered My own, so that they would know Me as all that they need.  I Am Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who sees and provides.
 
     "Lord, you are my secret hiding place, protecting me from these troubles, surrounding me with songs of gladness!  Your joyous shouts of rescue release my breakthrough." (Ps. 32:7)
 
     "You shall also be [so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as] a crown of glory and honor in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God." (Is. 62:3)
 
     "You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and deeds and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (Matt. 5:14-16)

The Spirit of the Lord would say to every child in this house, you were made and created for more.

Good morning,

     The Spirit of the Lord would say to every child in this house, you were made and created for more.  Much more than you can see, much more than you have touched, so much more than you ever walked in, and you are about to explode on this earth!  It is time, for this season draws to a close, and another shall open.  It is time for My children to shine forth the marvelous works of their Father.  I Am about to open you up, for in you is the manifested presence of Me, your Father, and I will release My glory throughout the whole earth, through each individual who would yield themselves to Me.  For you see there are many voices, and many things that are drawing and pulling your attention away from Me, but I say look at Me.  Look at Me, for as you keep your eyes upon Me, the glory that is within you will explode.

     You will not be able to contain it, you will not be able to put a cap on it any longer for it is designed for you to overflow My presence, and My presents and gifts that are in you upon this earth.  It is designed that before I come, that My children will let My glory shine forth, it is designed that at the end time that the light, the light of the glorious gospel that is on the inside of you would shine forth in every avenue, in every facet, in every form.  It is designed for you to show forth who you really are, and who you really are is more like Me than you could ever imagine.  For I have placed within you My Holy Spirit, who is an exact copy of your Father, and he desires to exemplify and show forth, and show off the glories of heaven that is on the inside, My children.  So yield this year, step over into the heavenly realm, yield this year!  Do not look around you at the circumstances and the situations that tell you that it is not the time to show forth the glory, but yet it is.  For in the time of great darkness shall come forth light, and for those who are in the dark they shall look upon the light and see the glory of My children and see the glory of their Father, and they will be drawn, they will come.  Yes they will come, even as many are falling away, many will come, and a way will be made for those who have a faithful heart, and will have undivided attention, and have undivided devotion towards Me says the Lord.  So shine forth the glory that is in the inside of you, do not be afraid.  I have placed it in you for such a time as this.  Shine forth who you really are, for who you really are is more of Me than you could have imagined. Open up and explode upon this new season that is for My beloved ones.

     "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." 1 Peter 2:9

     "As for me, because I am innocent I will see your face until I see you for who you really are.Then I will awaken with your form and be fully satisfied, fulfilled in the revelation of your glory in me!" Psalm 17:15 (The Passion Translation)

     "We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison,  because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (The Passion Translation)

I have brought you to this place, a place where there does not seem a way to cross over.

Sunrise-pier
 
Good Morning,
 
     I have brought you to this place, a place where there does not seem a way to cross over.  I brought you to this place so that you could look back at the wilderness and see where I brought you from.  Look over into the promise places that I Am taking you to and realize that your ability, might, strength,or your ingenuity cannot take you over.  It is by you yielding to Me, it is completely surrendering your all to Me.  By recognizing that there is nothing in you that can cause you to cross over, only your complete surrender and trust to me.  That is what empowers you to follow the course of My Spirit.  For I am well able to bring you over into that promised place.  It is that place where you lift up your hands out of complete surrender realizing that everything that you have done, all that you have mustered up in your own strength has not brought you to the desired place.  Only those moments where you yielded to Me where you able to walk in My highest for you.  It is that place where I will cause you to cross over on My wings.  Only on My wings, on My strength, and My ability will you cross over.  And I say unto you this is a good place, it is a place that I have brought you to, so that you would really know what it is to walk by faith, really know what it is to trust Me, really know what it is to lean over on the arms of your mighty God.  It is then says the Lord,that I will bring you out with a strong hand, I will bring you out with a mighty hand.  I will show you what it is like to walk in the promised land, to receive what belongs to you.  I will cause you by the Spirit of the living God to slay every Hittite, every Jebusite, every "ite" in your life and you will walk completely free in this land, says the Lord.  They are the enemies that have been sent on assignment to steal, kill, and destroy your destiny.  As you embrace the peace that surrender brings, you will obtain the blessings of the promises given.  It has been all the while because of My mercy and My grace.  Here you will know that My grace is sufficient enough to take you in, says the Lord.  My grace is sufficient enough to bring you into the wide open spaces of your destiny. 
     For the rains of change have brought you in to the place where a sweet fragrance is coming forth, and it is coming forth because of your obedience to yielding to My Word, you are going to step over into a new land.  Just about the time that you are ready to give up and quit, My Spirit will awaken you, will revive you and will make all things bright for you.  This is upon your horizon, so hold your head up high.  Realize we are going into a new land, a new territory, to do new things and it will no longer be by your strength or your might, this you will see.  You will understand who you really are and that I cover you, and you will walk into that land whole and complete.  You will walk into this land recognizing now, once and for all that you are Christ like, that you are God like, and you will begin to do war against the forces of darkness that have hindered you and kept you standing still.   Be not afraid, be not afraid of what you are about to step into because I Am with you and for you and I Am your rear guard and I will lead you into that place.  So total surrender is needed in this day and in this hour to step into the summer of your life, the highest freedom, rest, and relaxation of your life.
     "Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard." (Is. 58:8)
     "The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land.  They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them." (Ezek. 34:27)
     "The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust." (Ruth 2:12)

 I saw the Lord get up from the throne and it was if He was turning, His shadow was moving, and He was turning the corner and all eyes that were upon Him, as He turned they followed Him to greater light and greater appointment in their destiny.

 
Good morning,
 
     I saw the Lord get up from the throne and it was if He was turning, His shadow was moving, and He was turning the corner and all eyes that were upon Him, as He turned they followed Him to greater light and greater appointment in their destiny.  Those that did not keep their eyes on Him, they stumbled and they fell into an abyss, a place of darkness, but all who had their gaze firmly fixed on Him as he got up to make a turn, a change, they walked into greater depths.  Greater understanding, greater revelation and insight for all who fixed their eyes, and then the light just got brighter and brighter all around them and through them.  The light just begin to emit from their beings; their whole being became just aglow and as they followed him they began to glow into the dark places.  And because they followed Him and their eyes were fixed on Him the darkness that they encountered became lighter.
     Hear Me; For I Am the only one who is stable and fixed, I Am the firm foundation, if you would hold on to Me just as in moments of deep intimate worship in your life, there is a change.  There will be an alteration, you will change, there is something that shifts in your atmosphere that changes your environment.  As you keep your eyes stayed on Me, you will be able to remain steady and fixed.  In fact, as you do so the level of worship in you became higher, the level of praise takes another step up to Me, you will encounter a place where you will be lost in Me.  And that is where I Am calling My people to, that place where they lose themselves in Me and they depend only on My voice, only on My presence, only on the way that I move.  They follow every step, every encounter, every word that I say, they hang on My every word.  And as My people who are sitting in the shift will refuse to move, refuse to go astray, they will encounter greater levels of understanding, insight, and depth of Me.  They will know what others have cried to know for generations, they will know Me, really know Me.  So do not look to your left or to your right, this is the time to have a determined fixed gaze on Me.  Then you will not be confused and you will not be moved.  You will encounter Me and you will know Me.  That is what I do in you in these moments of deep worship, if you keep your eyes on Me.
 
     "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." (Pro. 4:20-22)
     "For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).  However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves." (2 Corin. 4:6-7)
     "Therefore My people shall know what My name is and what it means; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks; behold, I Am!" (Is. 52:6)
