Let the winds of adversity blow and the storms of change rage against My trees that I have planted.  They may bow at the fierce gust of the winds, but they will not break. 

 
Good morning,
 

    Let the winds of adversity blow and the storms of change rage against My trees that I have planted.  They may bow at the fierce gust of the winds, but they will not break.  They, who are Mine have allowed Me to plant them near the river.  Their roots go down deep, so deep that nothing can penetrate their depth.  They sway with the force of the storm, but they are easily up-righted.  For they are rooted in My Word and they have stood the test of time.  They are the great oaks and evergreens in My garden.  When the heat of trials, tests, and adversities comes, they have found their shade of protection in My Word.  These oaks and evergreens have been fruitful to all in My garden.  Others take delight in their shade and in the sweet smell that comes from their leaves of life.  The foxes and all the enemies of My garden are shocked by the incredible stamina of these great and powerful trees.  They have learned how to use all the difficulties and adversities as fodder for their continued growth.  My trees remain connected to Me, their source, I have received much glory from their obedient and yielded life.  In the days that are coming upon the face of this earth, it will be My trees that will stand for Me and for righteousness and not be moved by what moves the world.  Their trust is in Me and My faithfulness to them and in keeping My promises.  Because they are deeply rooted in Me, they will rise with wisdom and insight for the days ahead, and many of them will be like Joseph and Daniel.  In times of difficulties, times of oppression, times of uncertainty, and challenging times, Joseph and Daniel received heavenly wisdom, knowledge, insight, and revelation for their families as well as for their nations.  I am giving to My trees of righteousness that same ability.  One will receive a piece of the puzzle, another will receive their piece, and still another their piece.  My true people will come together and they will excel at this time as they learn how to be One, as I Am One with the Son and Precious Spirit.  We are whole together.  So shall My people come, each with his piece to make a whole.  Stamping out their childish ways, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and a list of fleshly devices of separation.  One as I long for you to be.
 
    Listen My trees for I Am revealing to you the way to go through the midst of these times of tribulation and testing without anything hurting or harming you.  If you want in, come and let Me plant you and prune you by My river that you too may be an oak or an evergreen in My eternal garden.
 
    "I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.  Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.  You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].  Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me." (John 15:1-4)
 
    "Thus says the Lord: Cursed [with great evil] is the strong man who trusts in and relies on frail man, making weak [human] flesh his arm, and whose mind and heart turn aside from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub or a person naked and destitute in the desert; and he shall not see any good come, but shall dwell in the parched places in the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.  [Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:5-8)

Hear and receive and walk in it. For all who make the choice to hear and obey, My citizens, My children, and My family will be strengthened and renewed from on high. All who make the right choice will begin to soar, as they have waited, expected, and longed for My wind to come.

 
Good morning,
 
    Hear and receive and walk in it. For all who make the choice to hear and obey, My citizens, My children, and My family will be strengthened and renewed from on high. All who make the right choice will begin to soar, as they have waited, expected, and longed for My wind to come. It has come now and it will lift you up to a place where past shackles shall shatter and chains that hindered you will be removed. Broken hearts, fractured visions, and dreams will be restored. My children shall catch the wind of My Spirit and glide above the storms of life that have brought in strong opposing winds. So now instead of fearing the effects of the storm that has come, you shall use the winds to bring you up close and personal to the Son. You will look into His glory and experience the depth and details of your destiny. The destiny that has been designed personally for you. You will be astounded at the ease that you will shift and sail into the new season and beginning. You will only use the past to accelerate you higher for with this attitude you will see all that I have placed in your hands to help you accomplish our dream. You will see from afar the plans of the enemy and be able to circumvent each and every snare. You will see what it is like to be the victor in every circumstance. You will enjoy the spoils of victory as I have ordained you to. So now sense the wind that is blowing, catch the current and soar. Oh, so many new places and higher grounds that we have to cover so that when I come you will be ready. You have chosen rightly and My blessings shall overtake you, My prepared and humbled ones, expecting, looking, and longing ones. You will have help from My angel armies in very notable ways. Miracles, signs, and wonders for all those who will not veer the course.
 
    Those who refuse to assimilate and become like the world. All whose choices are in line with My word will be exalted, while those who have backslid from My word by choosing to side with the world will be brought low, especially in My house. I Am He that raises the lowly and brings low the haughty. I Am looking at the heart. Your heart of choice will guide your outcome. Blessing for all who obey, curses on those who disobey. Choose the wind of My word it is stronger for shaking off the weights that kept you underneath the storms. You will have freedom in your body and mind. This wind will blow away fatigue, oppression, hopelessness, and all forms of weight that kept you from flying. This present darkness can no longer hold you down. You are flying to My voice and song! So command the winds to blow over your territory, your domain, families, churches, minds, and bodies. You have the authority to declare winds of freedom, prosperity, wholeness, and peace. Your choice, so soar like My eagles always do! Fresh strong winds so serve Me joyfully and be triumphant. There is such pleasure as you soar in these fresh winds sent from My high mountain.
 
    "And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it."  (Ezek. 17:24)
 
    "Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits." (S.O.S. 4:16)
 
    "But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired." (Is. 40:31)

 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 Lord, I 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)
 
Love,
