Good morning,

I knew you, before there was ever a thought of you. I was thinking of you, I ordained every step of your life even the missteps you have taken out of My will. I knew the way that you would go and I have orchestrated all of them into My plan. I have weaved them into My design. In order that you are able to stand, stand against all of the wiles of the enemy in this end time, he has unleashed demonic forces to cause a spirit of confusion even to those who are saintly, to those who are called, to those who are anointed. He is doing everything possible to cause a spirit of confusion to come upon the thought processes.

But I Am giving you everything. You have the ability to knock down and destroy every thought that is not like Me. It can be found in my Word what I think, how I think, and what I say. And you know enough of my Word so arise and slay the giants in your land, in your thought processes in your life, and in your household. Arise and be the mighty warrior that I called you to be for a special anointing shall rest upon you. Do not take off the cloak but walk in it. Let it become so much heavier than any trouble or trial that you have ever had until it overwhelms you and overtakes you until you think like I think. You will see the enemy before he even comes, and you will know his devious plans and how to defeat them.

All of the power and authority given to you it is not so that you can get a name for yourself. It is all about the King and the kingdom. It is about the kingdom. This army is not jealous, and is not envious. This army is all about one love. Their heart is running for one love, their purpose is for one love, so they love Me with all their heart and they love their brethren as themselves, and they are doing what I called and anointed them to do.

You will find your position and complete the part that is missing. You will accomplish as one Body all that I said in My Word. This power of love will erase any confusion as you walk out My Word your clarity will illuminate every step forward. Through you My children My glory will fill the whole earth.

"Blessed be His glorious name forever; let the whole earth be filled with His glory! Amen and Amen!" (Ps. 72:19)

"For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]" (Ephes. 2:10)

"For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the {full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). (2 Peter 1:3)

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (Ephes. 6:11)

Love,

Good morning,

I know that you are going through a tough transition, yet I have not forsaken you. This will open up for you a large place, a place where you will begin to trust and lean on Me like never before. As you have shifted, you may think that you have lost loved ones, positions, careers, and even ministries. It is not over, I Am working on something for you. I have always had a good plan for you, and it is My plan that will prevail. I have seen the tears and the heartaches, the times of feeling rejected, or cast away. You were never rejected by Me, no, never. I have waited for you to turn all of your affections and desires to Me. I will be all that you need, but you must renew your love for Me. I will fulfill the longings of your heart and heal your brokenness. I will give you a heart that thinks like Me. You will then see that you have not really lost anything, instead that you have gained more ground in Me. As you begin to shake yourself free from the cares of this world, you will awake to see the new light that has arisen over the obscure places that you have tread upon. I will send men to help you and send you help from on high.

Distractions of this age have tried to occupy my children's thoughts. They are led astray by their thoughts. I have given you a sound mind, but you must keep your mind stayed on Me in order to keep it sound. Many are falling away from Me because they no longer spend the quiet moments with Me in worship. They are careful and busy about many things so that from dawn until the night their thoughts are not towards me. It is My peace that I have given to you in the past that guards your thoughts and your emotions. I say to you, to be concerned about your true Love. I Am the One. Too many lovers make you an unfaithful lover. When was the last time that I was the only One on your mind? I Am a jealous lover, I will not have any other love before Me. Come back to Me with the simple, believing, love that you once had, and I will receive you to Myself and restore to you the joy that you had in serving Me. If not you will miss My next move, you will not be able to see, for your other lovers will detain you and keep your eyes covered. You must come to Me again as a virgin love. Depend on Me, I Am trustworthy.

"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:6-7)

"You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God. Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love?" (James 4:4-5)

"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome." (Jer. 29:11)

Ears to Hear

Good Morning,

"God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives. Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching, but has rejected God, who gives His Holy Spirit to you." (I Thess. 4:7-8) Holy Spirit leads and guide us into holiness. I like the end of this verse in the Amplified Bible, it says, "Therefore whoever disregards (sets aside and rejects this) disregards not man but God, Whose [very] Spirit [Whom] He gives to you is holy (chaste, pure). Holy Spirit is holy, pure and chaste, He will guide us into all things that are holy also. (John 14:26) We are changing how we think by renewing our mind, in order to live holy. "Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body and spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God." (II Corin. 7:1) We know that our thoughts are one of the strongest contaminate to our body and spirit. Mtt. 15:18-19; "But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what makes a man unclean and defiles (him). For out of the heart come evil thoughts (reasonings and disputings and designs) such as murder, adultery, sexual vice, theft, false witnessing, slander, and irreverent speech." "[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." (II Corin. 10:5) Evil thoughts defile us and make us unholy and affect our conducts and behavior. So we must have a clean and undefiled heart which is the seat of our thoughts, emotions and intellect. "Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure." Change your thoughts and you change your behavior, conduct and course of life. "But nothing is pure (undefiled) to those who are corrupt and unbelieving because their minds and consciences (their thought life) are corrupted. Such people claim they know God, but they deny Him by the way they live. (their conduct, behavior, manners and lifestyle) They are detestable, worthless for anything good. (Titus 1:15-16)

We are to be working towards changing our old behavior and conduct into God's holy character. Work means activity where one exerts strength or faculties, to do or perform. A sustained physical or mental effort valued as it overcomes obstacles and achieves an objection or result. We must overcome the obstacles of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life to achieve the result of holiness. Holiness is achieved by grace with our effort of self control as we renew our mind we strengthen ourselves to do the Word as our lifestyle. It is not perfection but commitment to the pursuit of holiness. We have grace (the divine influence upon the heart and its reflection in life; God's ability over our inability). Holy Spirit comes alongside as our helper and assisting us to accomplish the task. Holiness should be reflecting in our every day lives. We have SUPER – natural help. There is nothing impossible for us who believe, let's stay committed to pursuing holiness.

"Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure."

Love,

Pastor D.
