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.

Good morning,


    I Am requiring My Bride to draw closer and pay strict attention for the year ahead. I know that you have been running the race and yet some have gotten weary and others have slowed their pace. As you come aside into the chambers of My love you will hear my instructions and directions for this upcoming year. Here you will receive strength and stamina for the pace you will need to keep. Those who will not draw near will not make the strides that I have planned for them, but those who will require me as their necessary food, they will be filled with revelation, wisdom, and understanding. They will begin to step up the pace as they follow Me in pursuit of their destiny and purpose this year. You will hear My voice clearly saying walk this way and you will no longer delay in your steps.
 

    Here in the secret place is where you will see the pathway that you heard me tell you of years gone by. But now you will quicken your pace because of the decision to draw nearer to Me. You will arise and shine this year with such clarity for the plans and strategies are now easier to follow. You have eyes to see that the course has already been laid out for you and all that was needed was a yielded and obedient heart. All of the plans of the enemy will be thwarted because you know how to avoid his snares and traps because of the insight you received while sitting in My chambers. I have assembled My bride, My army, My righteous ones, hear My call.
 

    Do not fear the separation that comes as you become desperate for Me and My presence. Many are not and will not hearken to My call to draw near. So as you listen to My Spirit you will experience a new dimension of holiness that will easily distinguish you from others. I Am assembling My remnant army. Many of you I have already cut away from the ones that are apathetic and complacent. You have heard the voice of your Lover and Lord. I have been calling to you to come closer for years, now you know it is time to hearken and obey. Your yes to Me and your desire to become more intimately acquainted with Me will cause you to accelerate into a higher place with Me. You will be set above your brethren by your response of drawing closer. I Am saying to work while the day is upon you for the night is coming and no man will be able to work. I Am equipping you with My wisdom and understanding to be a sign and My light on a hill so many may see and come. Come away My beloved and know and be prepared for all that will come in the year ahead. Dwelling in the secret place is essential in the days ahead. You hear what you need to know for this year ahead.

Love,

Pastor D.

The refining process has intensified in, and, for My House.  I Am stirring the pot to cause to come to the surface all of the impure metals that have stayed in your heart, hidden from the cleansing power of My Word.

Good morning,
 
    The refining process has intensified in, and, for My House.  I Am stirring the pot to cause to come to the surface all of the impure metals that have stayed in your heart, hidden from the cleansing power of My Word.  This process will begin to reveal to you those hidden and coveted issues of your own heart.  The reason is always to make you a vessel of purity, never to make you feel condemned, as some think and even say of Me and those who will boldly declare My truth.  The enemy is an expert at misinterpretation and cunning when it comes to using words to ensnare and lead astray.  As you well know, words can kill or they can give life.  Listen to My Words now, know that I Am shaking My House in order to separate the pure from the impure, the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats.  The great divide has begun, so now is the time for your life to resemble the holy standard that I alone established.  Yes, I know those who are Mine, but you must know those who are Mine also.  Family should know their own family.  For by their fruit you will know them, do not be deceived by their great boasting words or their flamboyant displays of power.  My people will adhere to My Word, they will not try to twist My Words to accommodate their twisted lifestyle.  My people will live a holy life, not just make vague references to it.  Only follow those who follow My Word, for I have told you before that many false prophets and teachers are in the midst, leading and deceiving others to go astray off of the narrow way.  Teaching, and taking great pleasure in those who follow their examples, they are wolves in the flock.  This is the time for cleaving to the Lover of your soul and a time for great discerning, which can only come from intimate times spent with Me in the secret place.  You will see a great falling away of some who have known Me but do not be dismayed, these things must come to pass.  I Am coming for a Church without spot or blemish.  Now, begins the purification of silver and gold, precious metals that endure great heat in order to become the purest.  Once the purification is done there is a small amount of pure metal that is found.  I will have My holy remnant.  I will have a chaste Bride.  I will have a clean House.  You be holy even as I, your God Am holy and perfect!  Keep looking to Me and you will see that My grace will make you all that I have promised that you will be.  It is not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says your God and Lord.
 
    "… Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts." (Zech. 4:6)
 
    "Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit." (Matt. 7:15-17)
 
    "And you shall be holy to Me; for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine." (Lev. 20:26)
 
    "..so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless." (Eph. 5:26-27)

In My House, there is coming a necessary change, for a while, there has been indifference towards My Word. 

 
Good morning,
 
    In My House, there is coming a necessary change, for a while, there has been indifference towards My Word.  I have heard the cries of My children for holiness and purity to flood My House.  Conversion will happen in My House, it will come from longing hearts.  Many have fallen into spiritual apathy in My House and I do see and recognize, that it is because they have put their eyes and their faith in their spiritual leaders.  Yet, I have said in My Word to follow those who follow Christ.  This is the time that My holy remnant will arise and shake this world for a great awakening to Me and My Word.  A fresh new zeal will blow in My House for those who have withstood the pleas of this false church to have an adulterous relationship with it.  Zeal to speak My truth, zeal to seek and save the lost, zeal to stand against the false gods of this world's system.  I Am awakening the last day anointing upon the remnants of My prophets, teachers, apostles, pastors, and evangelists.  For I have some who have not bowed to the god of this world's system and the evil that has darkened the gaze of the eyes of many that once ran true for Me.  It is not how you start the race, but how you finish the course.  The spirit that antagonizes My end-time warriors has been crippled by them.  Fear will no longer keep them from rising up and declaring truth, my righteous ones are bolder. 
 
    All that will come in the Kingdom at this time will no longer play the harlot.  All the other lovers will begin to abandon them, and loyalty to Me will be paramount in their hearts.  As the world of darkness goes into a spiral of wickedness, that has spun its tail into My House, My warriors will come forth unashamedly to defend My truth.  I will anoint them at this time to do amazing things that will cause many who see to leave their gods and turn to Me, the One and only true God.  Households that have been in crooked disrepair will be touched by one who will walk in the fullness of My Word.  Churches that were on the brink of disaster, only because men would rather believe a lie rather than truth, will see that I have not forgotten their faithfulness to Me.  I will visit them afresh and anew and revivals will begin to burst forth like fire in a dry and desert land.  They have kept the flames burning even in the midst of great persecution.  I will start in the small places, to make My name known among men once again, and they will know that it was not by their power, or their might, or their wisdom, that all glory and honor will belong to Me.  
 
    I, the Lord, once again Am walking through the House where I Am truly honored and revered.  Look and see, I Am still working My Word in the midst of all who believe and obey Me!  I will be honored in My House!  Many other houses that still bear My name will begin to self-destruct because of the deception that flows from the lips of men, whom they have revered more than Me.  Many have made an addendum to My Word and placed clauses and changed My Word to accommodate their sins.  These places will become more obvious that they stand for nothing, places where many have slid back from their once-great love for Me.  Now, because they have beguiled and led astray many by enticing words of men's wisdom, many souls have left their first love and sold their birthright for a porridge of flesh.  I stand and shout to them, come back now, while the way is still available!  For you My faithful remnant, stay ready for the help I Am sending to you now! 
 
    "My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray [to favorite places of idolatry] on mountains [that seduce].  They have gone from [one sin to another] mountain to hill; they have forgotten their [own] resting-place." (Jer. 50:6)
    
    "Woe to the shepherds (the civil leaders) who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasturing! says the Lord." (Jer. 23:1)
    
    "And [pray] also for me, that [freedom of] utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news (the Gospel), For which I am an ambassador in a coupling chain [in prison. Pray] that I may declare it boldly and courageously, as I ought to do." (Ephes. 6:19-20)
 
    "For truly I tell you, until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook [identifying certain Hebrew letters] will pass from the Law until all things [it foreshadows] are accomplished.  Whoever then breaks or does away with or relaxes one of the least [important] of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven, but he who practices them and teaches others to do so shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matt. 5:18-19)

I have placed a line, a boundary line.  Those who are for Me will come on My side.  Those who are against Me, their words cause them to go on the other side.

 
Good morning, 
 
    I have placed a line, a boundary line.  Those who are for Me will come on My side.  Those who are against Me, their words cause them to go on the other side.  There is a remnant that has arisen from the ashes of destruction.  They have refused to alter the words that I have placed in their mouth.  They have stayed the course that I laid out for them to walk.  Earlier in their walk, they made a decision to follow Me all the way and not to bend to popular opinion by the voices of their generation.  They decreed a thing and deep in their hearts they knew it would come to pass, their declarations were over their families, over their nation, over their church, and over their own lives.  This remnant was forged in the fires of affliction, tests, and trials.  They have allowed the pressing, purification, and consecration, that I was doing to make them who they are.  I knew that they would.  I knew that they would submit to My making of them as the righteous remnant.  Because of this, when the beginning of sorrows started they were prepared and able to stand, knowing full well that this would be our finest hour.  It is the finest hour for grace, grace, and more grace.  The finest hour for My glory to abound over My people submitted to My word and to My hand.  Even when they did not understand every single thing, every single stroke that was done by My masterful hand they yielded anyway.  They have delighted in My presence and in My pleasure.  They have learned how to abound, and yet how to be abased.  They have kept themselves stirred up when the fires were dying down all around them they stirred themselves up.  They remained faithful, trustworthy and dependable, to My calling.  This is the time of lifting up all those who have humbled themselves before Me.  You know what I speak of.  You have come up higher, you have made a choice and you have experienced being seated with Me in heavenly places. 
 
    I have spoken secret things in the quiet times that we have enjoyed.  Stay and remain underneath My shadow and there will be nothing that will move you and because you have stay underneath My shadow, you will develop wings, and others shall come and rest under your shade.  You have developed the roots necessary to stand in any storms as they arise.  Yes, there are supernatural storms arising and I have told you before, yet you are stable in the position that you are in, and you will rise above all storms.  Your bold decrees have already gone out ahead of you and made a clear path for you to walk on.  You will not fail, you will not fall, you will know Me deeper, know that I Am faithful, know that I am trustworthy, and dependable.  I Am the Almighty, your Abba, your daddy.  I have spoken these things and brought them to pass in your life.  Watch, watch, and come see afresh and anew the things I Am doing.  Watch and know that I Am faithful to My Word.  I will do even those things that you have stood and believed for years and have not seen, I will do them.  You will know that I am your Father and that I care about everything that concerns you, and I will bring those things to pass.
 
    "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not the works of Your own hands." (Ps. 138:8)
 
    "I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance.  I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want." (Phil. 4:12)
 
    "You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways." (Job 22:28)

This is the season that I will turn things around for you My children.  Those who have not bowed their knee to Baal.

123582
 
Good morning,
 
    This is the season that I will turn things around for you My children.  Those who have not bowed their knee to Baal.  They will experience such an encounter with Me they have never known.  You have longed to come into Me and know My secrets, to know My thoughts, to know My heart and because you did not bow when others bowed before Baal, when other gave up their lives to Baal, when others gave up their walk to Baal, you have vowed not to and because you have been faithful, I remain faithful.  I will see to it that every promise that I have given you shall come to pass before you come to meet Me at the end.  I will do those things that I have promised you for I Am faithful, and as a token of My love and affection towards you and to you, I will be strong in the midst of you and you will know that I Am your Father.  I have heard every prayer and every request that you made known to Me.  I have already sent My angel out, understand, on your behalf to see to it.  This is the time of reaping for those who have sown in My kingdom.  The whole world is crying out, moaning, groaning, and travailing for the sons and daughters of the Most High God to be revealed and you have made up in your heart and mind to be revealed, and because you have done so I will do so. I look throughout the whole earth seeking some who are faithful to Me and I have found some, and I Am faithful to you.  I have not forgotten one thing that you have done in My name, those are the seeds that I Am causing to multiply in your life.  The rest of the non-productive seeds I have cursed to the ground, because of My mercy on your life, but from this moment on only declare those things that I declare for I Am watching over My Word now.  I Am watching over My Word now and that is what I will perform, My Word.  Mercy, I have given mercy, I Am giving more mercy now to you, to those who do not deserve mercy.  But I Am watchful and mindful of everything that you do.  From this moment on, says the Lord, you will walk wholeheartedly.
 
    "But what was the revelation God spoke to him in response?  You are not alone.  For I have preserved a remnant for myself—seven thousand others who are faithful and have refused to worship Baal.” (Rom. 11:4)
 
    "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]. (1 Corin. 15:58)
 
    "Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it." (Jer. 1:12)

Good morning,
 
     In My House there is coming a necessary change, for awhile there has been indifference towards My Word.  I have heard the cries of My children for holiness and purity to flood My House.  True conversions will happen in My House, it will come from longing hearts.  Many have fallen into spiritual apathy in My House and I do see and recognize, it is because they have put their eyes and their faith in many others.   Yet, I have said in My Word to follow those who follow Christ.  This is the time that My holy remnant will arise and shake this world for a great awakening to Me and My Word.  A fresh new zeal will blow in My House for those who have withstood the pleas of this false church to have an adulterous relationship with it.  Zeal to speak My truth, zeal to seek and save the lost, zeal to stand against the false gods of this world's system.  I Am awakening the last day anointing upon the remnants of My prophets, teachers, apostles, pastors and evangelists.  For I have some who have not bowed to the god of this world's system and the evil that has darkened the gaze of the eyes of many that once ran true for Me.  It is not how you start the race, but how you finish the course.  The spirit that antagonizes My unknown end time warriors has been cast down by them.  Fear will no longer keep them from rising up and declaring truth, my righteous ones are bolder now.  All that will come at this time will not play the harlot.  All the other lovers will begin to abandon them, and loyalty to Me will be upper most in their hearts.  As the world of darkness goes into a spiral of wickedness, that has spun its tail into My House, My warriors will come forth unashamedly to defend My truth.  I will anoint them at this time to do amazing things that will cause many who see to leave their gods and turn to Me, the One and only true God.  Households that have been in crooked disrepair will be touched by one who will walk in the fullness of My Word.  Churches that were at the brink of disaster, only because men would rather believe a lie rather than truth, will see that I have not forgotten their faithfulness to Me.  I will visit them afresh and anew and revivals will begin to burst forth like fire in a dry and desert land.  They have kept the flames burning even in the midst of great persecution.  I will start in the small places, to make My name known among men once again, and they will know that it was not by their power, or their might, or their wisdom, all glory and honor will belong to Me.  They will tell all that I, the Lord, once again Am walking through the House where I Am truly honored and revered.  Look and see, I Am still working My Word in the midst of all who believe and obey Me!  I will be honored in My House!  Many other houses that still bear My name will began to self-destruct because of the deception that flows from the lips of men, that they have revered more than Me.  Many have made an addendum to My Word and placed clauses and changed My Word to accommodate their sins.  These places will become more obvious that they stand for nothing, places where many have slid back from their once great love for Me.  Now, because they have beguiled and led astray many by enticing words of men wisdom, many souls have left their first love and sold their birthright for a porridge of flesh.  I stand and shout to them, "come back now, while the way is still available."  For you My faithful remnant, stay ready for the help I Am sending to you now! 
 
     "For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.  You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth?" (Gal. 5:6-7)
     "I want you to know this so that no one will come and lead you into error through their persuasive arguments and clever words.  Even though I’m separated from you geographically, my spirit is present there with you.  And I’m overjoyed to see how disciplined.  In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him!  Your spiritual roots go deeply into his life as you are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way.  For you are established in the faith you have absorbed and enriched by your devotion to him!  Beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic.  For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the anointed truths of the Anointed One." (Col. 2:4-8)
     "But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce and difficult for the people of God People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money.  They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right.  They will ignore their own families.  They will be ungrateful and ungodly.  They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander.  Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.  With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God.  They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power.  Stay away from people like these!" (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

 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

  Grass-tips-wind-grey-sky-768x480
 
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 will give My people a river of peace and prosperity, for the wealth of the nation shall begin to flow to them.  As My people learn to remain stable and fixed trusting in Me for their support, the world around them is beginning to shake in fear. 

Shutterstock_606386186
 
Good morning,
 
     I will give My people a river of peace and prosperity, for the wealth of the nation shall begin to flow to them.  As My people learn to remain stable and fixed trusting in Me for their support, the world around them is beginning to shake in fear.  Fear that has torment, fear that makes them do more unwise things.  Yet, My people will be unafraid, those who receive their comfort and help from Me.  Their hearts will again rejoice and flourish like the grass!  All will see the that My hand of blessing is upon them.  I will continue to bless those who have a humble heart that tremble at My Word.  My people need not be afraid of sudden disaster or destruction that comes upon the wicked, for I Am their security.  In the midst of turbulent times My people will experience a supernatural calm.  Now, the humble in Me will be exalted and the mighty will be brought low.  This holy remnant of Mine shall carry out the work of the Kingdom as never before.  This holy, humble remnant are those who press past the veil and have known Me as Father.  Their constant intimacy has raised a stirring in My heart.  I will entrust to them the power of the ages to come.  They love my presence more than their ministry, than their goals and more than their ambitions.  They will be able to hear Me in a moments notice, they are prompt to obey, they will not be shaken, no, not even when sudden disasters come.  They are stable and fixed trusting in their God!  They will learn that I Am their treasure.  There will be a notable difference between the children of this world and My children as notable as the difference between the Israelites in the land of Goshen and the Egyptians.  I shielded and protected My children from all of the plaques that came upon Egypt.  I Am the same God, I change not.  I will be a refuge and place of safety, from all plaques now.  When My children came out of Egypt they came out with all the precious possessions of the Egyptians, after years of shame and dishonor.  I gave them double for their shame.  So it will be for those who trust in Me, instead of shame and dishonor, they will enjoy a double share of honor.  They will possess a double portion of prosperity in their land.  They will feed on the treasures of the nations.  My people will know Me as their shield and their exceeding great reward!  Know Me, for it is those who know their God that will be strong and do exploits for their God!
 
     "And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]." (Dan. 11:32)
     "The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning." (Ps. 25:14)
     "…For God sets Himself against the proud (the insolent, the overbearing, the disdainful, the presumptuous, the boastful)—[and He opposes, frustrates, and defeats them], but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you,.." (1 Peter 5:5b-6)
 
Love,
