Good morning,

Yes, I hear and I respond to every request of My beloved. To every cry, I see and I hear. I receive everything that you have done in My name and I will repay says the Lord. I am faithful to repay, and I will restore everything the enemy has stolen; your peace, soundness, joy, prosperity, and health. I will restore says the Lord, everything that has been stolen, I keep excellent records and know exactly what has been taken and I restore sevenfold. Yes, and sometimes even more than that says, Lord, because I Am so good to you. So hold your hands open wide in expectation; I hear you, I see you and I Am responding to your reply and your request and My answer is always yes. When you pray according to My Word it is yes and amen. So you can take confidence in this, that everything I have spoken to you is yes and amen. Everything that you hold Me to and My Word is yes and amen, I will respond because I respond to My children. I Am a good father, I do not ignore your request or your reply. I will do exactly what I said I will do, I will not hold back, I will not keep back those things that I promised you. I Am busy working even now to bring those things to pass in your life while you are in the land of the living.

“The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.” (Ruth 2:12)

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

“Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.” (Hosea 6:3)

Love,

Good morning,

I Am unfolding mysteries, unfolding things yet unknown. I Am disclosing all things that you have asked for because you sought My face, you put Me first place and I recognize it. You have raised the spiritual bar by taking your prayer, worship, and meditation time to another level. So I am raising the level also as I respond with a release of the ministering angels on assignment from heaven in response to the passion that I see rising from you. And I will bless everything that you put your hands to. So do not be afraid to put your hands to something and I will multiply it. I will show you greater things that will come from the seed you have sown. All of the mighty seeds you have planted. I have not forgotten one says the Lord. I Am multiplying those seeds sown with favor, tokens, and surprises. My will is for good to you and you will experience My joy and delight towards you. Get ready with your arms outstretched and I will begin to overwhelm you with My goodness and everyone shall stand and behold and see, that your Father is good to those who seek His face. I always count faithfulness and I reward your faithfulness and I will do exactly what I said I would do. I lie not. Every word in Me is yes, and amen, you can count on that. You can depend on that. Just do not back away from My Word, do not give up your strong confidence. Stand strong in My Word and watch Me. I will do it so that my name might be glorified, so that men might come to know that I Am a good Father. Good to all My children and all those who come to Me. I provide a shield of protection. I AM the one who sees and provides. I Am Jehovah Jireh and I will cause you to know Me in a deeper way as you step into the deep places.

You have experienced some deep places spiritually, but you do not know everything that I can do. And what I Am about to do eye has not seen nor ear heard all that is waiting to be revealed to My children. I Am going to rain down from heaven, a deluge of my spiritual anointing, power, and authority. And they will flow to those dry barren places in your life. It is going to be a mighty awakening flood. A rain that will cause your eyes to look towards me and run once again. A rain that will cause you to hearken to My voice. And you will do it with such a zeal, hunger, and a thirst and a desire to please Me. It will alarm you because you have not recognized this before, it is like hunger pangs and an overwhelming thirst desire, where nothing else matters. All those other things you will put on the shelf. Those things you used to run after and what you thought was most important, they will become shadows as you run towards Me. And an overwhelming desire to be holy, righteous, and pure and do my work will overtake you. So get ready and don't resist for those who are resist, they will be found lacking and wanting but those who yield says the Lord, they will come up higher. They will hear me in the dry and empty places and they were walk out with more than what they had when they came in. And this is the purpose that I brought you here for. I Am so delighted to come and speak to you to cause you to know. I want you to come up higher and I put within you everything necessary. Spirit is calling to your spirit, the deep things are calling to the deep thing calling you out of that dry place unto the wet moist lands of your God. So that you might always be filled to overflowing with everything necessary for the moments that you are in. This is what I Am doing for all those who love Me.

“Eye has not seen, nor has ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation,” (Hebrews 1:14)

“I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.” (Isaiah 41:18)

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”.

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 lives 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 defeats 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!

"Your people also shall all be [uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified" The least one shall become a thousand [a clan], and the small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its [appointed] time. (Is. 60:21-22)

"Show me a sign of [Your evident] goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, [will show Your approval of me when You] help and comfort me. (Ps. 86:17)

"The thoughts of the [steadily] diligent tend only to plenteousness, but everyone who is impatient and hasty hastens only to want." (Pro. 21:5)

"But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience)." (James 1:25)

I come quickly, so you must hold fast to what you have in Me. Let no one and nothing rob you or deprive you of your crown.

Good morning,

I come quickly, so you must hold fast to what you have in Me. Let no one and nothing rob you or deprive you of your crown. For My church must be overcoming and My Bride is heavenly. I have not chosen a bride from Egypt, but one risen from the ashes of the old and now is a new resurrected bride. One that has decided to make My home hers. This is a called higher and set-apart nation. A holy and royal priesthood that continues to look beyond the temporal and keep their mind on the eternal. In that day when I gather My own, all that you have done in My Name and all that I have recorded in your name shall unfold. Your faithfulness shall be rewarded greatly, and it shall be your testimony but, dear ones this is not the season for looking at the temporal, the circumstances that presently surround you. For your suddenly shall come in a moment and all that you see now will be in your history. The only thing that is stable during all seasons is My Word, it never changes. It is your compass and guide during transitions, changes, storms, and times of trouble.

As I prepare My Bride, I will purge her with My prophetic rain of power in teachings and in demonstrations with peculiar signs and wonders. This will be My wonder, as you begin to move in new realms of manifestations of faith, as you come out of lethargic and inactive ways. Those who spend time in the secret place with Me I will give to them a new sense of perspective. In order that your future will be as clear in view as the past. You will see these fleeting things from My point of view. You will know that I Am not only preserving you but I Am also perfecting you. I know that you live within the confines of time, yet I Am. I Am neither limited nor bound by time, I Am infinite and eternal. I Am using this season to reorganize thoughts of confusion and fortify what I have built-in you. You must have a "different spirit", a different attitude of mind in order to possess the territory at this time. You can not conquer with the old mindset. You must remember that the "giants" in the land are nothing but grasshoppers to Me and that I Am a Warrior. I will fulfill My good Word to My true Bride in due time. I Am your Lord and I change not!

"I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown." (Rev. 3:11)

"Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself." (Rev. 19:7)

"And, A Stone that will cause stumbling and a Rock that will give [men] offense; they stumble because they disobey and disbelieve [God’s] Word, as those [who reject Him] were destined (appointed) to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." (1 Peter: 8-9)

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)

“I will give My people a river of peace and prosperity for the wealth of the nation shall begin to flow to them.

(photo credit: https://godtv.com/count-your-blessings/)

Good morning,

Here is a prophetic word that the Lord spoke to us in October 2009. God always prepares us ahead of time, making sure as we hear His counsel we prepare our lives in His Word. Many times we have to be reminded, so He speaks more than once to get and keep our attention.This was eleven years ago.

"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. 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 plagues that came upon Egypt. I Am the same God, I change not. I will be a refuge and place of safety, from all plagues 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 and 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!

"Thus says the Lord God: Remove the [high priest’s] miter or headband and take off the [king’s] crown; things shall not remain as they have been; the low is to be exalted and the high is to be brought low." (Ezek. 21:26)

"After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly great." (Gen. 15:1)

"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 5:6)

I have come with rewards says the Lord. I have come with tokens to those who have given all to Me.

(photo credit: https://www.redargentina.com)

Good morning,

I have come with rewards says the Lord. I have come with tokens to those who have given all to Me. This is what I Am saying to you, I Am making you a benefactor for My kindness. Many have trusted in mammon and the strength of mammon but those who have trusted in Me, I Am making benefactors of My kindness. That means over you there is a well that will never run dry, the source is endless says the Lord, for those who have been faithful, because I Am that source. I Am causing springs in the desert, places where there has been dryness, I Am creating springs to come to life. Life, do you hear Me, life is springing up where there has been dryness, where there has been barrenness, I Am breaking forth in a new way. I Am doing this as a token of My favor upon you, this is not your eternal end time reward. I Am a God who is always looking to make Myself strong on your behalf, that means good things for you, which means faithful, and able on your behalf. I Am opening up doors and windows that have been closed to you because I Am making you a benefactor of My kindness and My goodness in every way. So get ready for an explosion on the inside of you, that you have never sensed or knew was available. For I the Lord your God, am a mighty God, a mighty good God, and I Am good to those who have been good to Me, who have been faithful to Me, who have stood with Me, not looking at circumstances nor situations. I never forget says the Lord, I never forget My promises, I never forget the words I have spoken to you, I never forget those who are faithful to Me. I Am a faithful and great Father so get ready for the fountains, the springs, the wells, the seals that have been closed to open up. To open up over your life, to open up in your body, to open up your mind. This is the moment of My children and of the kingdom of God. This is the moment that we will do exploits in this world and they will know that there is a God and they will recognize that He is in you, and He is living big and strong in the midst of you.

"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)

"Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Is. 43:19)

"For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name’s sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do." (Heb. 6:10)

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

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 familiarities 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. 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. 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.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us, [looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work." (Heb. 12:1-2)

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run [their very best to win], but only one receives the prize? Run [your race] in such a way that you may seize the prize and make it yours! Now every athlete who [goes into training and] competes in the games is disciplined and exercises self-control in all things. They do it to win a crown that withers, but we [do it to receive] an imperishable [crown that cannot wither]. Therefore I do not run without a definite goal; I do not flail around like one beating the air [just shadow boxing]. But [like a boxer] I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached [the gospel] to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified [as unfit for service]." (1 Corin. 9:24-27)

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it." (Matt. 7:13-14)

Pastor D.

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)

Good morning,

There are many that have been overwhelmed by the onslaught of circumstances, tests, and trials, that have come upon them this past year. I would like to magnify these words once again that they have been sent by the enemy to cause discouragement, disillusionment, and despair, in hopes of wearing you out and causing you to let go and give up. Whatever you do, don't quit, because for you the best is yet to come. I will uphold you by the right hand of My righteousness, I will not let you fail or fall. My promises to you are, yes and amen. I am not a God that will lie and that can not perform His Word that has been spoken to you. Call upon the power of My Spirit that lives within you and stand erect like the powerful one that I have called and anointed you to be, there is more in you than you have even seen. Speak now to your circumstances, even in your weakened state, and My Word will tear down the mountains that have been erected against you. For My dear child, it is not by your might or strength, it is by the power of My Word. I will not stop until I have perfected you and you see Me on that day that I have prepared for all that have finished their race and course that I set before them. For I have prepared for you the best, and the most grand reward for all that you have accomplished in My name. Though for you it might seem small and insignificant, I measure and weigh things done in My name, much differently than men. Did not I say that even if you give a cup of cold water in My name to a disciple that you will receive the reward? And did I not say that he that receives a prophet in My name shall receive the prophet's reward? So My child, keep running the race that has been set before you, you will win as long as you endure to the end.

I will give you a resting place, a time away, a time to gather your breath, in order to be ignited afresh and anew. Do not be weary in your well doing, and do not measure your well doing according to the standards of those around you. I see all that you have done as a labor of love in My kingdom and I have set My seal of love upon you for your work of love. I know how you have stood against all that was evil and unholy. I know every word of encouragement spoken and every gift given, I have seen the times when you neglected yourself in order to provide for other, your selfless acts and display of love when no other eye beheld it. I did. I have perfect accounts of all things good and bad. I will say to you My loved one that I Am pleased with your diligence and persistence for the Kingdom, and the love of the Body of Christ. Be encouraged, and speak to yourself, when no one else has a song of praise, know that I sing and dance over you with strong declaration. Rejoice and be glad for the enemy persecuted My prophets and saints of old and great was their reward, and so shall yours be too. You are my jewel and I Am delighted with you.

"He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward." (Matt. 10:41-42)

"And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him." (Mal. 3:17)

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Cor. 15:58)

Love,

Pastor D.
