Good morning,

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

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

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

Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. (2 Corinthians 4:18)

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

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning, 

   I Am taking My people beyond what they are used to and it will be marvelous.  See I Am taking some of the things that you have done in My name, and I Am incorporating and weaving them into the fresh new pattern that I Am making. But so many of My people have slid back and they do not even know it. My people love Me with their mouths but they have other lovers that they put first place. I Am calling My children once again to make Me your God, your only God, your source, your desire, and your passion. No one else can take My place. No one else no other God can give you what I can. You must yield your members for I  have said whoever you yield yourselves servants to that is whom you will obey and so many of My people have become obedient to the god of this world, and the system of this world. I require My people to come alive once again and be holy. For I Am holy and I Am separating and calling My people into a place of holiness so that they can hear Me and walk in what I Am calling them to. You can do this. There is nothing too hard or too difficult for you in Me, you can do this and I Am calling you to a higher level in Me. So put your hands in Mine and come up as you praise Me. See what is going on in the realm of the spirit. See, leave off the gaze of this world for it will keep you bound but fix your eyes on those heavenly things and you will see and know what I Am doing. I Am doing something new and fresh in you as I prepare for our family gathering. Get ready and stay prepared.

    “Because this nation approaches [Me only] with their words And honors Me [only] with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me is a tradition that is learned by rote [without any regard for its meaning],” (Isaiah 29:13)

    ”Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)?” (Romans 6:16)

    ”Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too difficult or too wonderful for You—(Jeremiah 32:17)

Love,

Pastor D.

Do you not see in your mind’s eye, all of the witnesses that surround you are brethren of the faith?  They have gone through some of the same trials that you have gone through and even more.

Good morning,
 
    Do you not see in your mind's eye, all of the witnesses that surround you are brethren of the faith?  They have gone through some of the same trials that you have gone through and even more.  Able was killed for his righteousness, Stephen was stoned for his righteousness but it did not alter their confession of faith.  I Am saying to you that you may look like David, where everyone has turned their back on you be like him and encourage yourself in Me. I will bring you out because you have gone through and I have tested you and I am testing the quality of who you are.  Like David, I will cause you to be above your brethren around you as you put your trust in Me. Hear My voice, you will come forth as pure gold. I am doing a great work in you, and you will see in the end that I Am faithful to my promise. Though 10,000 set themselves against you, they shall see you come out above them. I will bring it to pass because I surround you with My favor. When the enemy comes against you one way, I shall cause them to flee seven ways. I Am your mighty warrior.

    The enemy has no stronghold or foothold against you that will succeed because you have put your trust in Me. I will cause that very enemy to be your footstool and use their assault to fit into My purpose that I plan for you. It will come to pass. I Am faithful to watch over My Word  to perform it.  Yes, I have sent witnesses to see to it, to make sure that it turns for your good says the Spirit of grace. I have given you everything that pertains to life and godliness.  Everything, even ministering angels lift up your hands when they are heavy and they hang down by the side.  I have given you my precious, Holy Spirit, He is the lifter of your head. I have given you My Word, which will never be shaken. 

    As you trust Me, I see your humility and the humble man is the one that I lift up.  Precious Holy Spirit has come alongside to lead and guide you into all truths. He is more intimate with you than any man.  So, I have sent him to lift you up in times of testing and trial. He is the great helper, to see to it that you go on, putting one foot in front of the other until you come and possess your promise.  I will not fail you so keep your head held up.  We will not fail you, the ministering Angels shall not fail you, Holy Spirit shall not fail you and my Word shall not fail you. We will see to it that you come forth as pure gold.
 
    "But He knows the way that I take [He has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold [pure and luminous]." (Job 23:10)
 
    "The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways." (Deut. 28:7)
 
    "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)
 
Love,
