Good morning,

If I could get you to trust and to depend upon Me. No matter what the pathway may look like, I have already ordered your steps. I have planned every part of your life, even before you were born or even thought of.  I know the path that you are on now, and it is not by happenstance. I placed you here for a purpose and a reason. Yield to My ways. Yield to My ways and My reason. You do not always understand the reason why, but I do. I have a purpose and a plan for you that excels and exceed every purpose and plan that you ever could think of.  I can supersede your plans if you yield and bring you into the path that I planned for you, to cause you to come into the Kingdom as a king and a priest of the Most High God. You will hold your head up high because you did perform or walked the path that I chose, and following on the path all the way to the end. It is a good path. It is My best path that I have chosen for you. It is My highway that I chose to cause you to walk in My ways of righteousness. You must look not at the things which are seen, but look at My eternal Word, which has in it the power to bring to pass My planned paths of prosperity. Prosperity that will be shown in your spirit, soul, and body. Difficult and hard places that you are facing will cause you to trust Me in greater measures. You will prosper in your soul making you immoveable. Your spirit will prosper for you will mature during testing and trials. Your body will prosper as you learn to rest in the midst of a storm. No matter what it looks like right now, though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death fear no evil, for I am with you, directing the course even there. I have not taken My hand off of you, but I Am directing you straight into the promise. There beyond your wilderness is your promise-land.

Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4)

Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word; let not any iniquity have dominion over me. (Psalms 119:133)

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)

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose]. (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Love,

Good morning,

It is all in the making of the man and woman that you are today. Every path, every thing that you thought was crooked, I have made straight; everything that was hard I made pliable. Every tough situation where it looked like the enemy meant harm against you and brought harm against you I turned it around for your good. Every circumstance I have turned around to make you stronger. Trust Me and see My hand moving behind the scenes, even times you did not recognize I was there. I was the one holding you and keeping you safe while  making you whole. I was the one healing the broken places in your heart as you walked through those narrow places in life where you felt you were the only one. But I have always had others following you or going before you to see to it that I have a remnant, an army of mighty people who will stand in the last days and declare My word. I said in My word, those who know their God shall do exploits and because you have known Me through the difficult times as well as the easy times you know that I Am consistent and faithful. I have ordained the season that you are in to do great and mighty things that men and women of old have waited to see. And now you get the opportunity to be the last one to carry that banner for the Kingdom. So straighten yourself up and know who you really are, hold your head up high and understand that I have made you who you are today and I am not through because greater plans are waiting to unfold. Everything that you will become will be just like Me so stay in My word looking in the mirror to see who you really are.  I have not yet finished and accomplished the work that I started in you before you were even born. I know you, I formed you, I destined you for greatness and greatness you shall be. 

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” (Daniel 11:32)

“Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” (Romans 11:5)  

“Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:” (Isaiah 40:5)

Good morning, 

As you allow Me and let Me do the work on the inside of you, for I know the purpose and the design that I have for you. Before you were formed in your mother’s womb I knew you and I designed and made a purpose for you. And if you will allow Me every day to do the work in you, in the end, you will be exactly what I called you to be and when I come, I will find you holy. I will find you whole, I will find you sound says the Lord, exactly how I created you to be and you will fulfill the design and the purpose that I have for you. You will not miss a beat if you will allow Me to do the work for I Am busy all the time working on the inside of you. I never cease if you let Me for I have a plan and I Am working My plan out for your good. There is nothing that has come into your life brought by the enemy that was meant to destroy you that I did not turn around for good for the plan and the purpose. I Am doing it now says the Lord. I Am fixing the crooked places, if you will comply. If you will allow I will see to it that in the end, all glory and honor will come to Me thereby you will receive the glory as well says the Lord. So allow Me to finish what I start I am not like man that I should lie. Every word in Me is yes and amen which means I will do it. I will complete it. I will finish the work I started in you. You are not hopeless, one without hope. Every day My mercies are shed upon you to allow that hope on the inside of you to raise fresh and new so that you can begin to see what I see, that I Am working on your behalf. Everything will turn around for your good no matter where it is coming from, where the root of it is, what the design of it has been assigned by the enemy and you see his plan, but Mine is greater. I will do it.  So I say rejoice. Rejoice in the fact that you know Me, rejoice in the fact that I keep My promises and I do not lie. Rejoice in the fact that I Am doing it even now.

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

“And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.” (Isaiah 42:16)

“It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, Because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul; Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.” (Lamentations 3:22-24)

Good morning, 

  When you were small in your own eyes I knew your value and worth. It was I who pulled you up from the miry clay, It was I who placed My hands upon you and made you stand. I say unto you My children this day, you have heard it said that I will open up heavens over you. They have just begun to open over you, some of you have not yet experienced  My goodness in an overflow.  I Am about to do that one thing in your life that will cause you to know that it is I your Father and I love you. I cherish you, I have brought you into the secret place and I will do mighty things, for I have seen your faithful heart and your steadfastness. I have seen your ability to rise above the circumstances and situations that have been brought across your path and yet you stand. You stand, not upon man’s faith but upon the faith that I have placed in you. You stand not upon man’s favor but the favor that I have surrounded you with. You have stood upon My promises and My Word for you is yes and amen.   You will not forget Me, you will offer up a sacrifice of praise for My faithfulness to you.  You will draw closer to Me, closer than ever before.  I Am blessing you to be a blessing to those that I will send you to. I have confidence that you will not consume what I put in your hands.  But because of that one, blessing, I will open up more and more and more over you says the Lord. When you were small and you thought lowly of yourself, I knew you and formed you and positioned you for greater things. I knew what you were able to do and what you could do in Me and you were humble.  I will continue to take you into My secret place and speak to you My wisdom and My insight. You have shown your brothers and sisters My kindness by your obedience to Me. I will not forsake you, for I will not forget the kindness that you have shown to My own. I will never forget those deeds says the Lord. For I am a rewarder of those who have diligently sought Me for I will do it, I am not a God who forgets.

“For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.” (Psalm 27:5)

“Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men!” ( Psalm 31:19)

“So then, those who are people of faith are blessed and made happy and favored by God [as partners in fellowship] with the believing and trusting Abraham.” (Galatians 3:9)

Your life is a tapestry, so everything from your past, and even things that you see hurting and harming you, I have delicately interwoven it into every strand of your being, and I Am using it for your good if you let Me.

 
Good morning, 
 
    A friend of mine sent me this word from the Daughters of Z.  She said it has been a word that she reads periodically to keep her encouraged in sowing good seeds. It encouraged me as well. I pray that it ministers to you again too. 
 
    Your life is a tapestry, so everything from your past, and even things that you see hurting and harming you, I have delicately interwoven it into every strand of your being, and I Am using it for your good if you let Me.  I have a way of turning those things that were meant to harm you, around for your good, and to cause it to be the most beautiful thing made by Me, and the uniqueness of this tapestry there will be none equal.  For there will be no one that has walked the path that you have and have succeeded and come out victorious, because I the Lord your God, have placed My hand upon you.  I have called you, even before you were formed and I knew you, yes I knew you intimately.  So I knew every detail and everything that you would go through, nothing has taken Me aback, nothing has caught Me off guard, nothing says the Lord.  I have woven it into your being, if you let Me, for it is all based upon you, I use those things to make a stronger you.  If you will not allow anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness to hinder this delicately woven beautiful tapestry, you will be amazed at what I will bring out. There are things on the inside of you, the ability to touch others, there on the inside of you that no one else has, but you.  The enemy has caged you in with lies, telling you that you are no good and that you are of no avail, but I use those things says the Lord that the enemy meant to harm you with to declare that I Am faithful and that I Am good, and I Am awesome and powerful in your life.  I have the ability to take those things that the enemy has brought into your life to turn them around for My glory that men might come to Me, through you. People that never would have come, but because of the things you went through and your stand and declaring that My God is faithful and that My God is able, then I use your life as a beacon. 
     But what happens in My kingdom so often, is that My children tend to despise those that have been wounded and hurt by the affairs of this life and begin to reject them, instead of covering them with love. Thereby seeing to it that they become the beautiful eagles that I have caused them to be so that they might soar to heights unknown by man and then you will share a part of that glory.  You will be a part of that victory, you will aid their tapestry as it is being forged.  You will receive yours, whatever seed you sow that is what you will receive from, good or bad, you determine your harvest.  Do not push down or offend by your words and hurt them, and keep them from soaring.  But I say to you today, watch your words for they will come back to you, so begin to use them for good, to those who despise you, to those who you think lightly of, and to those you think lowly of.  I will exalt all who will humble themselves, I will exalt you if you follow My lead. Know that whatever a man sows that and that alone is what he will reap.  You can not get a different harvest filled with My goodness if you are sowing the wrong seeds.  I will make you a one-of-a-kind, unique tapestry, as you follow My Word.
     
    "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." (Gal. 6:7-10)
     
    "Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.  For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.  Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me." (Ps. 139:2-5) 
     
    "He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." (Eccles. 3:11)
 
Love,

 I Am your helper, the great defender of your soul.  I have a plan that will come to pass for you as long as you keep yourself hidden in My arms of protection.

 
Good morning,
 
    I apologize for being missing in action concerning the Word.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.  Here is the Word from the Spirit:
 
    I Am your helper, the great defender of your soul.  I have a plan that will come to pass for you as long as you keep yourself hidden in My arms of protection.  There is nothing devised by the enemy that can stop, defeat or hinder My plan.  I Am always greater than anything seen or felt on this side.  You will see and know that as a Father I carry My own to safety.  I establish everything and therefore nothing that comes shakes Me from My settled promise.  The winds will blow, everything depended upon will crumble, do not fear!  Though the earth be removed and the mountains are carried away into the sea, I will not be moved.  I Am the river that makes glad.  The steady immovable rock.  Your constant Father, I change not.  I can be depended on to do exactly as I have spoken to you.  I Am.
 
    I will bring you through a way that you do not know.  Through the wilderness, I walk by your side and carry you through.  I Am the way through the wilderness as well.  Unknown paths and unfamiliar ways are not new to Me, that is why you must learn to trust and lean on My strong arms!  This is where faith in Me and My Word comes in, while you look not at the things you see.  All of those distractions and loud voices that are sent by the wicked one to draw your attention away from what I Am doing and saying through the wilderness.  Know My dear ones that as you allow Me to do the great work in you as we travel through the wilderness, I remain the same, constant loving kind Father.  I Am supplying you with My water of great strength.  My life-sustaining food I give to strengthen you too.  Trust Me, you can trust Me.  I Am consistent in My plans for you, they are still for your good.  I Am bringing you to the place of peace.  I Am.
 
    "How precious is Your steadfast love, O God!  The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings." (Ps. 36:7)
 
    "Lord, You will ordain peace (God’s favor and blessings, both temporal and spiritual) for us, for You have also wrought in us and for us all our works." (Is. 26:12)
 
    "God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning]." (Ps. 46:5)
 
Love,

Do not be afraid to take the steps that I Am giving to you.  Walking means having the ability to move to the directed course.  Move now, towards the vision.  

 
Good morning,
 
    Do not be afraid to take the steps that I Am giving to you.  Walking means having the ability to move to the directed course.  Move now, towards the vision.  Do not halt between two opinions.  I will accelerate, I will breathe a fresh breath of life into the plans that I have made for you.  Everything that establishes the Kingdom, will take priority.  As you are busy doing Kingdom business, I will in turn take care of all of your affairs, everything that concerns you.  We will affect every area and walk of living so that no one is missed or untouched by those who are walking in the vision that I have planned for them.  You will affect your nation that I placed you in.  All of Me will blow through this world, for I Am in all of you.  For wherever I send you, there I Am also.  More of Me will be seen, for My people are dying to themselves, so that I may live through them.  My life is expressed through My people,  My plans, My dreams, My vision being fulfilled through My people.  Take those steps towards the destiny that I breathed into you.  Do not be afraid, for it is My breath, the wind of My Spirit that you will feel blowing you onto course.  Simultaneously the same wind will be blowing the refuse off of your course so that you will not stumble over it anymore.  Listen to Me, for the Spirit and the Word give light.  My light brings understanding, revelation as well as clarity.  Yield to My Spirit and My Word.  Both, together are life-giving, We are one.  When you sense the push along the course that I have chosen, it will be by My breathe and My wind.  My Spirit is always leading and guiding you into all of My truth.  My truth here and now concerns your destiny being lived for the Kingdom.  As you move with Us, you will experience a new level of freedom in all that you put your hands to.  We will accomplish the purpose together, and you will delight to look right on, not looking to the right or left, but keeping your eyes looking ahead.  Together we will bring a new day.
    
    This month, you must remember to prophesy-to speak by inspiration.  Inspire yourself to speak that you will walk out the God given vision, blown by the wind of the Spirit.  "He who walks uprightly, walks securely…Whoever walks uprightly shall be saved…whoever walks wisely shall be delivered. (Proverbs 10:9; 28:18 & 26) "So we walk on, securely, saved and delivered!
 
    "And let the beauty and delightfulness and favor of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and establish the work of our hands—yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it." (Ps. 90:17)

 

    "For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day." (Hab.2:3)
 
    Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),  Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is. (Eph. 5:15-17)
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.
