 Do not allow your feelings to lead or guide you.  Now you must live by faith, which is not feeling-based. 

 
Good morning,
 
    Do not allow your feelings to lead or guide you.  Now you must live by faith, which is not feeling-based.  Here is where you must lean your entire personality over on Me and keep your hand and your eyes on Me.   Decisions made now centered on your feelings will surely end in ruin and disaster.  Hear My voice clearly and watch My steps also.  Know Me and My Word, for those who once followed Me and did not truly love Me will find it difficult to hold on.  So it may seem as if you are walking alone, but remember I always have many that have not bowed their knee to the god of this world.  I am restoring joy and strength to many that stood through the difficult tests and trials, those who have endured hardness as My soldiers will shine forth as a great city of light. Instead of failing, they have learned how to overcome by the blood and the Word of their testimony.  When tested, tempted, and tried they withstood the enemy's beguiling voice of deceit.  As in any war, it is the front-liners who are assaulted the most.  Yet, when they outlast all attacks, they receive the greatest reward and spoils.  Rewards of honor and valor, are things that distinguish them from all others who march alongside them.
  
    Do not let the tactics of the wicked one cause you to become offended, for many of your loved ones may lend their members to offend in this season.  Many who oppose Me may be found in your own household, these are signs of the times and of My soon return.  You must keep on walking to higher places in Me.  Run with those who are running to win, not those who have let the love of this world's system overtake their love for Me.  Remember I have foretold you that people would be lovers of themselves, haters of those who do good.  So you must subdue your feelings, for the enemy desires for you to make strategic moves based only on what you feel.  You must realize that these choices would cause chaos in your life.  Now is when you must pursue the enemy with the Word, war with the promises that I have given unto you.  My Word will stand through it all, every violent attack against you was sent as a missile to bring you down.  I expect My warriors to rise with the weapons of warfare that I have placed at your disposal.  They are mighty to bring you through to victory!  Stay safe underneath the shadow of My wings!
 
    "If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you.If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world [no longer one with it], but I have chosen (selected) you out of the world, the world hates (detests) you." (John 15:18-19) 
 

    "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2 Tim. 3:2-5)

 
    "Take [with me] your share of the hardships and suffering [which you are called to endure] as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him." (2 Tim. 2:3-4)

There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place.  Some were slightly out of order, others were totally crooked. 

Break-down-your-barriers
 
Good morning,
 
    There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place.  Some were slightly out of order, others were totally crooked.  I Am releasing into your life new strategies to help you overcome.  What may look like "failure and the end" is only a door opening to new plans to shift you into your large place.  This will be a time of acceleration in those areas where it seemed that the "spiritual vultures" were circling.  The old strategies and tactics that you tried to follow, because they worked for someone else, yet they never worked for you, have finally been released from your heart and hands.  You have cried out to Me, and better still, you waited on Me to reveal to you My steps for you.  Now
stay in the position of having your neck stretched out in anticipation of the surprises and tokens that I have for My obedient ones.  Breakthrough, advancement, and improvements will arise in every area of your life that you have yielded to Me.  Many of My people will be loosed from conditions where they have been held captive in their lives.  Conditions where you may have sensed that you have lost your purpose and your call, here I will renew your joy of serving and loving Me.  I will amplify your sensitivity to My gifts.  You will begin to operate from a high place of the Spirit in your day-to-day lives, for you are My temple.  As you yield daily to the gifts, you will hear Me lead you in the way that you should go.  Opportunities will be easily attainable and the limits have been lifted that kept you bound, for you have been found faithful.  Barriers that kept you from stepping over into the territory that I have already given you, will be blown over.  Listen, for I will speak in the night seasons as well as when you walk by the way through dreams, visions, and by the light of My Word.
    
    All of these precious promises I will do for you because you have obeyed My voice and did not choose your own way over Mine.  I Am promoting in-House as well as in the market places, all that have sought after Me in a dry and weary place.  Those who have pressed after the Kingdom, when others ran to the world, because of tests, trials, and tribulations.  I Am always rewarding the faithful and those who endure in Me.  Shame shall be the promotion of fools, those who do not choose obedience.  Most of all, you will be revived in your relationship with Me.  Arise My love, and take part in the fragrance of your Lover.  I Am dropping to you sweet dew from heaven to refresh you for the days ahead.  As all things begin to fall in place, remember I have given you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  Through you, I Am building up the ruined places and raising up the places of devastation, so that I may be glorified and that you may be known as My minister of righteousness.
 
    "Nevertheless, God was not well-pleased with most of them, for they were scattered along the ground in the wilderness [because their lack of self-control led to disobedience which led to death]. Now these things [the warnings and admonitions] took place as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did." (1 Corin. 10:5-6)
 
    "As an example, brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord [as His messengers and representatives]. You know we call those blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] who were steadfast and endured [difficult circumstances]. You have heard of the patient endurance of Job and you have seen the Lord’s outcome [how He richly blessed Job]. The Lord is full of compassion and is merciful." (James 5:10-11)
 
    "To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations." (Isaiah 61:3-4)

     "To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified" (Is. 61:3)
 
     "My brothers and sisters, take the prophets as your mentors. They have prophesied in the name of the Lord and it brought them great sufferings, yet they patiently endured.  We honor them as our heroes because they remained faithful even while enduring great sufferings.  And you have heard of all that Job went through and we can now see that the Lord ultimately treated him with wonderful kindness, revealing how tenderhearted he really is." (James 5:10-11)

 
     "They all ate the same heavenly manna and drank water from the same spiritual rock that traveled with them—and that Rock was Christ himself.  Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their dead bodies were scattered around the wilderness.  Now, all these things serve as types and pictures for us—lessons that teach us not to fail in the same way by callously craving worthless things." (1 Corin. 10:3-6)
