For all those who sought not their own glory, I Am giving double glory and honor.  For those who sought my face in the darkest seasons, I Am causing light to shine brighter and the light will speak clarity to the steps you take.

 
Good morning and a blessed New Year,
   
     For all those who sought not their own glory, I Am giving double glory and honor.  For those who sought my face in the darkest seasons, I Am causing light to shine brighter and the light will speak clarity to the steps you take.  For those who held my hand when they felt like letting go, I Am causing a closeness with Me that many have sought for years.  For those who prayed in the night season and thought that their prayers were not being heard, I have gathered your prayers, they are close to My heart and each and every one of them I will answer.  According to My time and according to My season of blessings, they will return.  There is nothing that you have not given to the Kingdom that I have not seen and have begun to multiply back to you.  I delight to be a blessing to those who are My own, after all I am a Father, a father who knows how to care for his very own.  I take you close to Me when things seem most difficult, and it is because I have shielded and carried you that you were able to take the very next steps, even when you cried and said, I cannot go on, it was because of Me that you got back up again.  In hearing your cry of feeling overwhelmed, I came on the scene and I took you up as a Father so often does, I held you and nursed you back to full strength. 
     For my strong ones, those who have grown so much in My kingdom, I see you, I know you and you have not begun to see the rewards and the blessings that are yours.  I have not forgotten you.  It will not come through the hands of natural promotion but it will come through Me.  See I Am well able, I know that somehow you think unless it comes through the source and the avenues of the system of this world that I can not.  I own everything and I know where every secret riches are.  I have dispatched every angel on your behalf to bring to you those hidden riches in secret places.  Yes, my strong ones, those who have the matured at my feet, who have endured such criticism and mockery, because you chose to stay holy and pursue Me above all else, I have not forgotten you.  Everything that you given to the Kingdom in My name sake, I will multiply back to you.  My very own, who have taken what I have given and multiplied it to produce over and over again.  Times that you have given that others never saw.  Time in My presence in worship and in My Word, your talent, your gift, your abilities, your strengths, your prayers, you have not forsaken Me.  I have seen it all and harvest time is here.  I said that these things will come on waves to you.  Every wave will almost knock you over because I am being so good to you, I will overwhelm you with My goodness.
 
     "Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.  Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life." (Ps. 42:7-8)
     "And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls you by your name." (Is. 45:3)
     "And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].  As it is written, He [the benevolent person] scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever!  And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity]." (2 Corin. 9:8-10)
 
Love,

 There is a storm that is coming, and the winds that will accompany this storm will have diverse affects.  For those who have stood on My Word

Good Morning,
 
     There is a storm that is coming, and the winds that will accompany this storm will have diverse affects.  For those who have stood on My Word and refuse to compromise my Word, this storm will be used to blow you back on course.  Many who have slipped or taken missteps will be rectified by the power of the winds that will issue forth.  For those who have been hardhearted and stiff necked and would not obey Me, they will find My Word harder to accept and understand, they will begin to slide back from Me and My truth.  Yet, I will still keep calling you back and wooing you, for My tender mercies and My long-suffering are in pursuit of the backslider.  I desire you to come back and be faithful to the True Lover.  You have spent endless hours and days trying to make yourself happy.  By now you should know that I Am the only real joy.  The great deceiver has spent energy and time to try and make you believe the lie that your happiness depends on others and outward circumstances.
     Many who seek My face on a daily basis know the season and can perceive in their inner selves that they must redeem the time.  They are walking with purpose and pursuing My will and having no part with the deeds of darkness.  Truth, My Truth has been distorted by heresies and teachings that are only half truths.  I Am raising up those who have My heart and I will give to them My voice.  They will move in a new arena of signs and wonders, that will shake up the "religious" world, yet these signs will come to approve My Word that was spoken.  There will come a divide, because the enemy has come in secretly and sown tares in My field.  I have allowed the tares to grow together with My wheat, so as not to destroy My wheat.  I Am the husbandman of My field and My garden, and I Am about to call for the reapers to separate the two. The winds of distinction are beginning to blow.
     Let your ears be attentive to My voice and your eyes open to the changes that I Am doing on the inside of you, My garden.  I have raised you up to be able to bring a fresh aroma to a world that is wafting in the midst of the smell of degradation and sin.  I have placed rare and unique fruits and plants in My garden, you are one of these.  You are not like everyone, don't try to be either.  Those who attend to My Word are consistently washed and kept pure from the storm of destruction.  I will blow and their strong aroma of faith and love will begin to change their course.  So stay rooted and grounded and you will be gently directed to the course that I place you on.  The winds will be strong enough to shift you onto the right path if you have halted between two opinions.  Those whose choice is to walk in the name of the Lord of Hosts, I will assemble the lame, and all those that have been afflicted by choosing righteousness.  I will make the lame a remnant, and the afflicted and those who were rejected, will become a strong nation.  Even now I Am turning your captivity, and I bring you acclaim, acknowledgment, and distinction in every territory where there was shame.  This is Our hour to shine!
     "You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways." (Job 22:28)
     "So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will] and do the works you did at first [when you first knew Me]; otherwise, I will visit you and remove your lampstand (the church, its impact) from its place—unless you repent." (Rev. 2:5)
     "In that day,” says the LordI shall assemble the lame, And gather the outcasts [from foreign captivity], I shall make the lame a [godly] remnant. And the outcasts a strong nation; And the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion from this time on and forever." (Micah 4:6-7)
     "Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First gather the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; but gather the wheat into my barn.” (Matt. 13:30)

I Am separating the wheat from the tare and those who stand with Me and remain faithful to My Word.  There will be such an anointing upon those who stand.  Fruit shall abound in their households,

 
Good morning,
 
     I Am separating the wheat from the tare and those who stand with Me and remain faithful to My Word.  There will be such an anointing upon those who stand.  Fruit shall abound in their households, more and better fruit in their hearts, in their minds, and evident in their lives.  Because they are trees planted by the rivers of living water, they receive the water of the Word easier.  They continue to stay hungry and thirsty, many shall come to see what is keeping them fed. They shall rest and come to know Me as the Lord who sees and provides, because they have chosen the good thing, sitting at My feet.  They stand tall knowing that I the Lord their God have made promises to them and I will not and I cannot lie, and My answer to you is yes and amen.  
     You have asked me once and again, "God what are you doing?"  I Am telling you, I Am making you more like Me.  You are getting to know Me as a good Father, who is trustworthy.  It is going beyond hearsay from others, it has become more intimate knowledge.  You see that it goes beyond the momentary and temporary things, you are seeing from the eyes of an eternal being.  You will always be supplied with plenty, you shall have enough to give without fear of want, you will step over easily into My overflow. You will see that it is far more than money, but prosperity for the whole of your living.  I Am faithful to bless those who are faithful with all that they are stewards over, spirit, soul, and body.  Faithful men abound with blessings, so get ready for harvest in every area.  Whatever is empty, whatever has been void I have set the stage to cause you to abound with blessings.  You thought it was the enemy trying to steal from you, but I was emptying those troughs, emptying those fields, I was emptying those places so that I could place My seed that always produces after its kind.  I had to rid My garden of the weeds that was keeping the fruit from reaching its full maturity.  I know what is good for you, I Am a great father, provider, counselor, friend, one who walks beside you.  I Am taking good care of you.  I will see to you, and everything that concerns you says the Lord.  Know that those things that have been burned away they were not like Me, but know that I will replenish your ground with the good, the righteous, and the holy, and you shall be stronger in Me. 
 
     "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands." (Ps. 138:8)
     "A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings, But he who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished." (Prov. 28:20)
     "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers." (3 John 1:2)

Do not fret over the transitions and changes that I have allowed in your life.  Most of the things that have been removed; whether people, familiar situations or circumstances, would have obstructed you from reaching the ultimate goal or position that I Am bringing you to. 

Narrow-path-in-the-eternal-field
 
Good morning,
     Just as last week, I have been instructed to show how relevant prophetic words can be in our lives.  Some have a time frame when they are to be revealed and others are constant as the written word of God.  Whether written – the Logos word, or spoken and revealed – the Rhema word of God, we need to cherish each word given and run the race and fight the good fight of faith!  This is from December 2009.  As the year ends and the new year is upon us, we can expect more changes.  We will find that most of the effective and long lasting changes are those that will happen within us.  We will see that we are made of tougher and greater quality of character than we perceived.  We are made in His image after all.  These changes will enable us to keep on moving closer to the Father, while others that may have run with you at one time begin to drop out.  Here is the message that the Lord spoke to our church on December 28. 

The Spirit of the Lord says;     

     Do not fret over the transitions and changes that I have allowed in your life.  Most of the things that have been removed; whether people, familiar situations or circumstances, would have obstructed you from reaching the ultimate goal or position that I Am bringing you to.  Some familiar-ties would have been an obstacle, while others would have been a deterrent to keep you from running unhindered.  Others would have caused you to be snared by the enemy of your soul and stopped completely.  Let them go!  These obstructions in your life have hindered you from the clarity of great revelation.  These revelations are necessary in order for these times of transition.  These changes have all been about bringing My people up to a higher level, changing how you see and what you see as being genuine and real.  Now you must release the load of weights that have caused your run to become sluggish and tiresome to you, you must choose to lay them down.  Your flight will be glorious, as you and I, shake from you all that would detain you from reaching your proper place and position in Me.    

    I have already spoken to you that the way would be narrow and not many will choose that way.  The way is made so that your eyes should only look forward and stay focused on Me and all that is vital to the Kingdom and its advancement.  This narrow, constricted passageway will lead you to the wide open spaces of living in the realms of My Spirit.  My Holy Spirit has been directing your course, you may have struggled on this course, yet you did not fight against Holy Spirit and because you chose to yield to Holy Spirit, you will reach your destination with more power, more glory, more anointing, more wisdom and more understanding of Me and My ways.  You have now entered into a new position and place of authority, because of your endurance during times of transition.  New keys are now placed in your hands for the opening of doors that you thought were locked to you.  You will enter boldly now without fear or shame.  You will walk into your promised territory, holding your head high, for you have kept the faith and stayed true to Me and My Word.  Your focus remained on Me and the Kingdom, even through the darkest times of change.  For your faithfulness you will abound with blessings and rewards.  You were not lead astray by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, or the pride of life.  These three have slain many strong men of faith, yet, your love for Me remained strong.  I Am well pleased with you, My children.  Keep moving on the path of holiness and your destination will always be glorious!  Stay focused and My light will forever brighten your steps into the right position of holiness.  

     "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven. " (Matt. 16:19)
     "And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of David, Who opens and no one shall shut, Who shuts and no one shall open: I know your [record of] works and what you are doing.  See!  I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name." (Rev. 3:7-8)
     "But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it." (Matt.7:14)
     "Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us." (Hebrews 12:1-2)
     "Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but [only] one receives the prize?  So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours." (I Corin. 9:24)

Good morning,

     Trust me.  Just trust me.  Joseph learned to trust Me even as he went through the things that he endured in his life.  He knew My heart, he knew My call but he did not know the way to the end.  Yet, my plan was good.  So I say trust Me, even when you do not know exactly what is going on, I Am working those things out for you, for your good.  I know the end from the beginning, I Am the divine designer of every plan for you.  I have not messed up, I have not misstepped, I Am steady and I Am faithful even now says the Lord when things seem so cloudy.  Think about My servants, think about how they had to learn to lean upon Me and not trust their own understanding, nor their insight, nor their own wisdom but they leaned on Me.  There are times that you do not know what to do, that is when you must lean on Me for I know, I know the way.  I know how to get you there with the least amount of attacks from the enemy, I know says the Lord.  But it is when you run from the shelter, the secret place that you come under assault and attack from the enemy, but as long as you stay in a hidden place, where I Am working things out.  Trusting Me, looking to Me as a child does to their Father, knowing that I have nothing but your highest interest in My heart.  There is nothing that you are going through that I have not allowed already for the perfecting of you, some are hard to bear I know, but just like Joseph, I will deliver you from the pit.  It is all about you growing up, maturing, and being strong and being steady.  I will not let you fail, I will not let you fall, I will uphold you by My right hand of justice, I will not let go.  Stay steady and stay strong for this is the season of testing and blessing for My children but your eyes must be on Me, not on celebrities, not on man, not even on those that are well known in My camp.  Keep your eyes on Me for I Am the way and I will lead you in the way everlasting, I will not let you fail.

     "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby: If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious" (1 Peter 2:2-3)
     "You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fulness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore." (Ps. 16:11)
     "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet fine, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure." (Is. 46:10)

Good morning,
 
     For anyone who truly loves someone, they provide, and I have provided all things for you.  I know that some times, especially in dark times in your life it seems as if I have forgotten My provision for you but I pre-planned a good day for you, there is good plan for you.  So no matter what this day looks like, no matter what day you are facing, says the Spirit of grace and mercy, I have already made a good plan for you.  So you can always hold your head up, you can always dance in the rain, for you can always know that your Father hovers over you with great goodness and mercy.  And My blessings, my tokens and my favor, they surround you as unto a shield.  There is nothing, no good thing that I will withhold from you.  Everything I have given unto you, I turned it over to your hand says the Spirit of grace and mercy.  I have given all that My Son holds in his hand, I have given to you.  This is how much I love you and respect your right and your privilege to choose Me, I will not force you to do My will for you, neither will I make you choose My purpose for you.  So I say, turn your affection and your attention towards Me and upon Me like never before.  For the great things that are coming upon this earth will have two faces.  There will be the faces of evil and the faces of your Father, if you choose My way, you will see My good in everything says the Lord, even in those things that are evil.  For you will look and see what a good Father I am in the midst of those evil times that I am a great provider, you will know I Am turning all things around for you.  I have supernaturally made a way of escape for you says the Lord.  There is nothing that will catch you off guard because nothing catches Me off guard.  So stand sure knowing that I Am your Father and I am a loving Daddy, I am a faithful Father and My love for you endures throughout the ages.  
     There is nothing, nothing that you said and or have done in the past, even those things that were hurtful towards Me, I knew your heart says the Lord and I waited, I will forgive and restore our right relationship.  I waited for the turn around because I knew says the Lord, that the time that I had planned for you would come and you would not turn away from Me, but you would run to Me.  So now I rejoice says the Father even as seen in My word, as the father who gave everything to His son, who then turned around and squandered it all upon the world and the lust of his flesh, yet I waited.  The prodigal turned his heart back toward the father, repented, and was welcomed back home.  I say to you I Am waiting, waiting for the return of that great love that I put in your heart by My precious Spirit.  I know that you will love Me with an everlasting and enduring love because that is the kind of love that I have given you.  Stand sure knowing that I will not stop, I will not quit and you will not stop and you will not quit, for I have sured you up, made you stable by My Spirit.  As long as you yield yourself to My Spirit there is no stopping you and there is no end for you but only good things are ahead for My children.  So get ready and open your hands, it does not matter what is going on in the world or the things that are coming to the world.  This is the time that My children shall rejoice in the harvest of their God.  This is our time says the Lord, that the day that Joseph spoke of, "what you meant for my harm, God meant for my good",  this is that time says the Lord.  My children will experience and see the mercies of God poured out lavishly upon them.  So rejoice says the Lord, this is not the time to hold your head down because of the heaviness of the world, but this is the time to dance in the rain to rejoice even in the midst of circumstances, even they are working for your good.  I the Lord your God, I Am dancing even now, for I have the enemy in scorn and derision, I have laughed at his plans, his snares, and the devices that he used, they are being turned on his camp. 
     "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day]." (Gen. 50:20)
     "Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow." (Jer. 31:13)
     "For the LORD God is a sun and shield unto us; the LORD will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good from those that walk uprightly." (Ps. 84:11)
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.

Good Morning,
 
The Spirit Of The Lord says;
 
In this next dimension, I have brought you right up to the threshold of the opening of the greatest spiritual adventure that you will ever see on this side of heaven.  Yet, I will not push you or pull you over into it, you must take a leap of faith.  I have been drawing you to this place all along.  You will find that I Am able to hold you up and sustain you, if you will yield.  This is what you have believed to see and walk in.  It is time.  You will truly know Me as El-Shaddai, the All Sufficient One for you.  I Am giving you springs even in the valleys, for you have leaned on Me as your great Provider.  You will be known as the rivers in the desert places.  Because you have been a well spring of life to others, your springs will always be abounding!  Many have longed to see Me as you will see Me in greater glory.
Do not fear the climatic happenings, these things must be in order to bring about My return.  In the midst of these things, there is great expectation and excitement for you.  You are in the highest stages of preparation, you can not be interrupted.  I Am restoring you to a far more greater glory also.  The radiance of your wholeness will be felt as well as seen throughout the earth.  You will come forth with a vibrant and renewed ability, fresh energy and revelation that is not related to the earthly.  You will be a  vast lighthouse of wholeness as you draw all the wounded and desperate souls into the flood of My Light.  Here they will grow and be nurtured to multiply My harvest.
Now, I Am speaking to the weary and broken in heart, to the bruised in body and spirit, to the one that has not yet seen the fulfillment of My promise, look up!  Your light has come.  Spring forth and break through!  I declare and decree over you, today is your dawning of the new morning.  Rejoice as you take the leap!
 
Love,
 
Pastor D.
