Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

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.

Good morning,
     Just as last week, I have been instructed to show how relevant prophetic words can be in our lives.  Some have a time frame when they are to be revealed and others are constant as the written word of God.  Whether written – the Logos word, or spoken and revealed – the Rhema word of God, we need to cherish each word given and run the race and fight the good fight of faith!  This is from December 2009.  As the year ends and the new year is upon us, we can expect more changes.  We will find that most of the effective and long lasting changes are those that will happen within us.  We will see that we are made of tougher and greater quality of character than we perceived.  We are made in His image after all.  These changes will enable us to keep on moving closer to the Father, while others that may have run with you at one time begin to drop out.  Here is the message that the Lord spoke to our church on December 28. 

The Spirit of the Lord says;     

     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 familiar-ties 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, you must choose to lay them down.  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 and 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.  

     "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven. " (Matt. 16:19)
     "And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of David, Who opens and no one shall shut, Who shuts and no one shall open: I know your [record of] works and what you are doing.  See!  I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name." (Rev. 3:7-8)
     "But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it." (Matt.7:14)
     "Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us." (Hebrews 12:1-2)
     "Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but [only] one receives the prize?  So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours." (I Corin. 9:24)
 
Love,

Ears to Hear

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says;
   

    In your life I have started to mend
what has been altered in the transition process that you have gone
through.  Some of you have allowed what was meant for your good, to hold
you back.  The tearing away from the familiar was designed to catapult
you into your destiny.  Yet, you have sorrowed at the changes that I
have sent your way.  Look now, and you will begin to see My purpose for
the shifts that I have allowed.  You are not so easily sidetracked by
the lies and deceptions of the enemy as you were in times past.  See,
now your desire has grown towards Me and you want more truth in your
life.  In the early part of the season of change you were resistant to
My alterations that I caused your steps to walk in.  Now, you want to
see yourself be transformed into My image more that all other things.  I
have cut away from My children that would allow Me, things that were
causing them to be tattered and worn and not able to carry My fresh
oil.  This cleansing has come to all that will stand in My house as a
royal priesthood.  I Am now sending fires of purification into My
household!  Repentance will be heard from Family, truth, purity and
justice will be shouted from the rooftops of all of the watchmen that I
have called upon the wall.  They see what is coming over the horizon!  With the eyes of eagles they can see afar off, and they warn with My
Words, for My children to return to holiness.  Declare you among the
nations and publish it as the ambassadors of my Kingdom, set up a
standard, raise it high!  Righteousness will be known in My house.    

    For, I the Lord will judge the whole
earth in righteousness.  How long will the land mourn, and all creation
groan and travail as they await, for My sons to rise up and be awakened
to their destiny and the great calling?  I Am shaking you, My children. 
I Am shaking My house and with it comes a fresh spring cleaning, all
clutter and useless idols of heart and body will be swept out as I
shake.  Do not try to hold on to them, let it flow freely away from you. 
I Am giving the new for the old and tattered garment, that My bride has
been wearing.  Your white garments had become pale.  I have let the
circumstances in your life bring you to this place, to the place of
repentance and prayer, to seek My face.  Look at Me as your All.  So that
I may wash you afresh.  I have covered you so that others would not see
your nakedness.  I have altered your attitude towards Me in the secret
place.  I Am glad to see you as My humble, holy child, simply trusting
Me for your everything.  We will experience days of great adventures, as
We become One.  I Am, after all working it out for your good.  Do not
fear anything that comes to this world, for you must remember, your end
will always be good!

Love,

Pastor D.
