Good morning,

There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place. Some were slightly out of order, others were totally crooked. I Am releasing into your life new strategies to help you overcome. What may look like "failure and the end" is only a door opening to new plans to shift you into your large place. This will be a time of acceleration in those areas where it seemed that the "spiritual vultures" were circling. The old strategies and tactics that you tried to follow, because they worked for someone else, yet they never worked for you, have finally been released from your heart and hands. You have cried out to Me, and better still, you waited on Me to reveal to you My steps for you. Now

stay in the position of having your neck stretched out in anticipation of the surprises and tokens that I have for My obedient ones. Breakthrough, advancement, and improvements will arise in every area of your life that you have yielded to Me. Many of My people will be loosed from conditions where they have been held captive in their lives. Conditions where you may have sensed that you have lost your purpose and your call, here I will renew your joy of serving and loving Me. I will amplify your sensitivity to My gifts. You will begin to operate from a high place of the Spirit in your day-to-day lives, for you are My temple. As you yield daily to the gifts, you will hear Me lead you in the way that you should go. Opportunities will be easily attainable and the limits have been lifted that kept you bound, for you have been found faithful. Barriers that kept you from stepping over into the territory that I have already given you, will be blown over. Listen, for I will speak in the night seasons as well as when you walk by the way through dreams, visions, and by the light of My Word.

All of these precious promises I will do for you because you have obeyed My voice and did not choose your own way over Mine. I Am promoting in-House as well as in the market places, all that have sought after Me in a dry and weary place. Those who have pressed after the Kingdom, when others ran to the world, because of tests, trials, and tribulations. I Am always rewarding the faithful and those who endure in Me. Shame shall be the promotion of fools, those who do not choose obedience. Most of all, you will be revived in your relationship with Me. Arise My love, and take part in the fragrance of your Lover. I Am dropping to you sweet dew from heaven to refresh you for the days ahead. As all things begin to fall in place, remember I have given you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Through you, I Am building up the ruined places and raising up the places of devastation, so that I may be glorified and that you may be known as My minister of righteousness.

"Nevertheless, God was not well-pleased with most of them, for they were scattered along the ground in the wilderness [because their lack of self-control led to disobedience which led to death]. Now these things [the warnings and admonitions] took place as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did." (1 Corin. 10:5-6)

"As an example, brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord [as His messengers and representatives]. You know we call those blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] who were steadfast and endured [difficult circumstances]. You have heard of the patient endurance of Job and you have seen the Lord’s outcome [how He richly blessed Job]. The Lord is full of compassion and is merciful." (James 5:10-11)

"To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations." (Isaiah 61:3-4)

Good morning,

The spirit of discouragement and disillusionment has tried to deceive many of My children. It is a strong, obscure, and blurred spirit. He has lied to them and told My children that I have forgotten them. The lie that he perpetrates is that I will not do what I have promised to do. Promises that I have spoken from My Word or in times of intimate fellowship, he lies by trying to divert your attention to the temporal things. Do not give any attention to him My children. If you entertain his lies they will find a way into your heart and destroy and entangle all that We have built together. Do not allow the "evil one" to plant snares and tares in our garden of love. Now is the time to draw close and call forth My Word, so that you become inaccessible to the darts of the wicked one.

Yes, it is a time of tribulation for this world system for I Am bringing forth its quality. It is overdue, because of the unjust weights and balances, and the great deception that has continued for decades upon decades. I have heard and I have hearkened to the cries of My servants, those who are watchmen on My walls. They have cried for justice and I Am responding. I Am shaking every system that is not built upon My foundations. Some of these systems have found their way into My house. That cannot be. I Am uncovering and exposing all that does not originate in Me and with My plans.

My children that give a cup of cold water in My name will receive all that I have promised. I have not forgotten one seed sown in My name by faith. Harvest times are by My timetable, for I Am Lord of the harvest. I will repay. I know all that you have suffered in My name and because of your stand in My name. I have been touched by your heartaches and all that troubles you, and I will come and rescue you. You can be sure of Me and My word, it will stand through all times. I will lift you out of despair, by My Mighty outstretched Arm. No one will be able to take you from that secure place. Nothing is too difficult for Me, I will heal and refresh you again, setting you in an enlarged place.

"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 Corin. 4:18)

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)

"He brought me forth also into a large place; He was delivering me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me. (Ps. 18:19)

Good morning,

I have called every one of My people to learn how to wait on Me. For those who wait on Me, something supernatural happens in their lives, in their body, in their mind, and in their heart says the Lord. I cause strength for those who are weak, wisdom, insight, and understanding for those who seek and wait on Me. They shall rise as eagles with wings on high. I will renew their strength, they shall become stronger than ever before and I will cause them to know the way that I Am bringing them, there will be straight paths for their feet. This is the time and the season for those who wait on me because I am about to do a great thing on the inside of you that will surmount anything that the enemy has brought against you. You will be able to stand and walk upon the forces of darkness and still proclaim and claim My promises for you know that I am faithful. I have proven Myself faithful to you over and over again. Do not be worried, fearful, or stressed by the things that you are encountering. Yes, the enemy has launched an assault, an attack against My people. He has used weapons that maybe you have never seen before, but I know them all says the Lord. I Am a warrior and I have defeated each and every one of them. Trust Me, I can be depended on. I will never leave you, never forsake you, never give you up, I will never! I will bring you all the way to the end, to the finish line where you will receive the great reward, the glory that is waiting on those who do My work, who do My will. So do not give up, hold on to my promises. I Am trustworthy, and every promise I have given you is a yes and Amen. That means nothing, no one, no force against you can stop the promises that I have spoken to you. Everything that I have said to you, watch and see, I Am doing it right now. Open your eyes, look upon high, your Father will not fail you. I Am riding on the clouds of glory, to bring everything that I said I would do. I Am your everlasting Father, your eternal God, and I will do exactly what I said, I have created, I have destroyed, I have devastated, and I have brought to life, I Am that same God. I Am past finding out and mysterious in My way of bringing it to pass. Yet know that I can do all things, and there is nothing too hard or difficult for Me. Watch your Father and be amazed, not astounded at the enemy but be amazed at the works that I Am doing for I Am doing great things, in you and for you!

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." (Ps. 27:14)

"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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. 40:28-31)

"That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things." (Is. 45:6-7)

Stand in awe of Me, for all the many wonders you will see.

(photo credit: https://janlemke.com/153-scriptures-about-living-a-holy-life)

Good morning,

Stand in awe of Me, for all the many wonders you will see. I Am going to rise up big on the inside of you and change the "you" that has been hindering "you". All of My promises to you will be fulfilled as you totally surrender your life to Me. This is the generation that will have clean hands and a pure heart, for you will have no other gods before Me. I have truly become the central focus of your life. All of My blessings will come upon you and overtake you, because you have obeyed My voice, and continue to do so.

Since you have been in pursuit of more of My glory and seeking My face with such zeal, there is within you the eyes to see and complete what I have begun. Because of your humility, and keeping yourself small in your own eyes and in the eyes of others, I will bountifully reward you and lift you up. I have innumerable ways to show you that My hand of favor is upon you. I Am about to surprise you in a grand way, giving you tokens as I lavish My goodness on you. I will cause the small clan to be a mighty powerful army. In My Kingdom, the Davids of this world, always defeat the Goliaths. They triumph knowing that I Am their victory. There is no fear to My children who know Me and are unashamed of Me, for they are the mighty weapons in My hand. Take your position and stand sure. Keep your hands lifted to Me in total surrender, so that I may fill you to overflow. You have within you everything that this world needs. Those who are obedient to My Word, will be abundantly blessed for all to partake of. You will be to your land and your house, a Joseph. You will see, hear, understand and obey all that I reveal to you and supernaturally provisions will come. You are my faithful stewards, proven faithful by your diligence to My Word. I have placed you strategically for the prepared times ahead. I will give you counsel in the night season and even as you walk on your way. Stay alert and attentive to My voice, you will know when to advance and when to be still. Stay alert.

"For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, In His tent I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud Be gracious and compassionate to me and answer me. When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].” (Ps. 27:5-8)

"Then all your people will be [uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous; They will possess the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, The smallest one will become a thousand (a clan), And the least one a mighty nation. I, the Lord, will quicken it in its [appointed] time.” (Is. 60:21-22)

"Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me." (Ps. 86:17)

My mercy has always hovered over you keeping you, from the very beginning when you made Me your Lord and Savior.

Good morning,

My mercy has always hovered over you keeping you, from the very beginning when you made Me your Lord and Savior. Keeping you safe from the harm, the plan, and the devices of the enemy for I knew what his plan of destruction was in your life so I hovered over you, My children with My mercy. Know that every time a misstep was taken I was there with My mercy to pull you back up and to encourage you, placing you once again on your way. Every time you are aiming for the target and you missed it, understand that I was curing and healing on the inside, every time it was My mercy that covered you and kept you, because you did aim. My Word in you has kept you in a sound mind in a sound state of living for Me. It has been My mercy that gathered you up when you felt like you could not carry on. It was My mercy that kept you in the night season when thoughts were bombarding your mind and you could not see the way out, because of the many things that were coming against you. It was My mercy that hovered over you enabling you to rise and run the race. It was My mercy that caused your broken body to be made whole. When all other avenues were cut off My mercy paved the way. I have never given up on you, mercy is powerful and motivated by My great love and compassion for you. It is My mercy that will carry you through all the way to the end, it is My mercy. So call upon My mercy, for it is needed in such a time as you are living in. Do not ever forget or enter your equation of living without putting mercy in. My mercy will help you make it through, will cause you to be the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. It is a preserving mercy, it is an anointed mercy. It causes you to be anointed even when you don't sense it. Every time you mess up, mercy cleans you up and covers you with My glory, because you are aiming for the target by trying. This I know. I will carry you through says the Lord, for I Am faithful to keep My promises to you.

"It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness, they fail not." (Lam. 3:22-23)

"I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward." (Phil.3:13-14)

"Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail)" (Ps. 55:22)

Pastor D.

Now more than ever before is time for you to take a stand, keep your position and do not be moved.

Good morning,

Now more than ever before is time for you to take a stand, keep your position and do not be moved. Every thing has tried to get you to take steps back and the push is from the spirit of the wicked one. I have taken delight in many of My strong ones that have learned to lean on Me, when the storms of great adversities began to try and blow them off course. My strong ones have held on tight to My Word and have refused all of the lies of this world and of the spirit of religion. My children have not committed adultery with the idols of this world and all of its enticements to sin. They have looked right on, in spite of the many distractions that have tried to pull them to other ways. Now, listen, My strong ones, when you hear My voice you must not halt between two opinions. You must be quick and powerful to stop the smooth talking lies of the enemy. We knew this time would come, where you would be tried and your faith tested, and you have fought a good fight. Continue to hold fast to My promises, and do not be weary in doing right. I see all that you have done in My name, and not one of those labors of love have been forgotten. Just as you have endured some things that you could have never seen coming, wait on Me. I have some surprises for you, yes, some things that you could never have dreamed or conceived. All of My strong ones that have learned the value of patiently enduring without giving up, I have laid up for you gifts and benefits that you will begin to see crop up in your daily life. I have prepared this strong generation of righteous ones to carry forth a mighty work now at the time of the end. We will produce a great bang! All will pay attention and take notice of My children. All who have set their faces like a flint, and have refused to back down and give any place to the enemy, they will enjoy a new level of walking in a heightened awareness of the Kingdom and heaven's aid. They will be more attuned to the assistance from the ministering angels and they will be more in harmony with Holy Spirit.

You will hear Me with greater clarity which will make you more perceptive and make your steps more accurate. You will be My holy instrument to strike down the strongholds of the enemy. You will be so sharp that you will easily slice through barriers, obstacles, and hindrances. Many will see that you have truly gone through a renewal, you will no longer be the same. You will now allow the transforming power of your Father to work through you, not tampered with. You will no longer try to water down all that I cause to move through you just to be palatable to man. This is the greatest time to be alive and living in Me, for together we are about to do marvelous wonders. My strong ones and I will be like a shooting star as it blazes across the night skies, so we will blaze across the dark night of evil, everyone will look and be amazed, for We will shine! Many will come and be snatched from hell's fire because you will walk in the days of every opportunity that "I Am" presented to you now.

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish." (Is. 41:10-11)

"But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." (1 Tim. 6:11-12)

"For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can he forget the work you have done for him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve his beloved ones for the glory of his name. But we long to see you passionately advance until the end and you find your hope fulfilled. So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance." (Heb. 6:10-13)

Love,

Pastor D.

In My house there will become a very noticeable difference between the profane and the holy.

(photo credit: https://www.ibelieve.com/faith/8-prayers-to-pray-each-day-of-holy-week.html)

Good morning,

Habakkuk 3:17-18 says, "Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, though the labor of the olive fails and the fields yield no food and though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no cattle in the stalls. Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the victorious God of my salvation." The word 'yet' means besides what has been considered or mentioned already; on top of everything else; however; and nevertheless. This sounds like a person of faith, doesn't it? It sounds like the New Testament being lived out in the Old Testament. II Corinthians 4:18 says, "Since we consider and look not at 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." We are to rejoice in the Lord, no matter what it looks like. We are to exult in our victorious God, besides what has been considered and on top of everything else that is going on in our lives. Even if there seems to be no fruit or product from your labor in the Kingdom yet, keep rejoicing. God is faithful and knows all that you have done and continue to do in His name. God has made us promises that we are to look at all the time. No thing, not a thing, nothing (that includes corona-viruses), can eradicate the promises of God's word. One example of the many promises says, "I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the wild olive; I will set the cypress in the desert, the plane [tree] and the pine [tree] together." (Is. 41:18-19) Whenever there is difficulty, barrenness, dry places, wilderness, and the unknown situations in our lives, God has already provided a way out, over, or through it!

Listen to one of the reasons that God desires to do such miraculous things. "That men may see and know and consider and understand that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has done this." (Isaiah 41:20) So, today, in spite of what may happen this day, set your mind and heart to rejoice forevermore, on the goodness of our God. His very own words, which He says that He watches over to perform or do; " For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord (here they come, God's own thoughts), thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jer. 29:11) Peace means soundness [in body], completeness, health, safety, prosperity, and welfare. Expected means, the thing that you longed for and hoped for. Let us rejoice for God has us covered, soundness, completeness, and health in our bodies, safety, prosperity and our welfare, that is what we hope and long for. He will not fail us!

The Spirit Of the Lord says;

In My house there will become a very noticeable difference between the profane and the holy. At the present time everything has been allowed in My house, but now by My Spirit there is coming a heavenly sweep. I Am about to set a season of an open heaven over the holy, and at some moments, days and multiple hours will be spent in My Presence.

It is for judgment and for mercy sake that I must not allow the profane to continue to stand. I Am saving some lives that would otherwise be destroyed because of unholiness that has not been dealt with in My house. If the profane continues to grow it will destroy the holy that is left. I will have a holy people! I am coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. The water of My Word is sufficient enough to clean away from all My children the effects of old stains from sin. My Word is more than enough to preserve you holy and blameless against the day, no matter how long or short the day is in its arrival. Those who are holy will be holy still. The holy will begin to operate on another level of power, giftings, callings and insights, because of the openness of My glory that is upon the horizon. This season will be too much for those who choose to remain profane. Moving into this realm of glory requires a humbleness and holiness derived from a great longing for more of Me and My Word to be manifested. I have heard the cries and the pleas of My little ones, those who desire to walk in all that I have given to them. They are like Joshua and Caleb whose faith kept and preserved them as they waited for My promise to be manifested in their lives. They stayed holy and humble in the midst of the profane. My holy ones are the same, they do not want to live any longer beneath their God given rights. They want to enter into all that I have kept for them. I will honor them! They have honored Me, by giving their whole heart in their seeking of Me.

I have held back on all that I wanted to release to them, because of My mercy towards the children who rebelled and walked in the profane. I desire that all would see the goodness of their God in the land of the living. To the profane, I say, I will keep drawing you, if you can still hear Me. Come, separate yourselves from all that will defile and make you unclean, leaven of impurity and compromise, and I will wash you again and place you on high.

Those that will be holy I will make them to be My hill of blessings. I will cause showers to come down, yes, showers of blessings. They will be anointed to be blessed, because they have chosen Me above all others. Come, look and see all that I have for you my holy ones.

Love,

Pastor D.

I have started a work in you, and I will complete that work that I started, because you expect Me too.

(photo credit: https://pjcockrell.wordpress.com)

Good morning,

I have started a work in you, and I will complete that work that I started, because you expect Me too. For there are men and women who do not believe, yet come before Me asking of Me, yet they are not my children and do not believe, but because you believe and you have your expectation high I will meet you in a grand way. I Am looking for those who I can show myself strong on their behalf and I have found some says the Lord, and I will stand for you and there will be no weapon that is formed against you that shall prosper this year. Every dart that has tried to come against you, you have withstood because you have found your hiding place in Me, therefore there is nothing that can touch you to bring harm to you, instead it turns against the enemy and with you it brings forth strength, wisdom and insight. I Am your Sun and your Shield, I will give you honor because you do what is right before Me.

So listen to Me says the Lord this is the time to stay connected to Me and get renewed, and get revitalized for the things that I Am doing. This is no time for letting go, giving up, or losing hope this is the time to recharge yourself by My word and My presence. As you stay in My word you will find new hope, new revelation, new insight, you will find your joy in My word as you stay in My word. I Am drawing you to My word and you will see that I love large. I Am causing you to have a stronger hunger and thirst for Me and My word and you will once again sit in the shade of My love. I Am fulfilling every promise that I have made to you, promises that you have forgotten, promises that you let go of, but I Am not one who forgets. Every promise in Me is a yes, and amen, and this year I will spend time with you, talking to you, reminding you of those promises that I have spoken to you. You will write them down as you are running so that you never forget the words that I have spoken to you. This is your jubilee says the Lord, this is the time that you have waited and longed for and now Jubilee has come for you. So I say rejoice in all that that I have given you, rejoice in those things that are coming to you, rejoice in those things that I have planned for you. It is more than your heart could ever imagine. So get ready to see your Father, father you in a brand new way, and rejoice in the things that I Am bringing to you and doing in you and for you. There shall rest upon you a fresh anointing, one that surpassed any anointing that you have walked in before, run with it, go with it and yield to it and you will see great things happen in your life. Doors that have been closed I Am opening, this is the year that my children will rejoice and enjoy My presence like the first time. So come on in, come on into My word and sit under the shade and the protection of my divine word. For it is time for My children to rise up and stand in the place that I have called them to be, a place of authority, a place of power, a place of wealth, a place of wholeness says the Lord. So run into Me and you will be revived and refreshed.

"For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us." (2 Cor. 1:20)

“Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied." (Matt. 5:6)

"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." (Ps. 84:11)

"I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]." (Phil. 1:6)

Love,

Pastor D.
