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 come, 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, 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. This is 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.

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8)

“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” (John 15:3-4)

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:” (Ephesians 4:29-31)

Love,

Good morning, 

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, 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 trials 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.

“This is what the Lord says; Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future.  They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salted land.  But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by heat or worried by long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:5-8)

“I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.  He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and He prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more….remain in Me and I will remain in you.  For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in Me.” (John 15:1-4)

“For you are still [unspiritual, having the nature] of the flesh [under the control of ordinary impulses]. For as long as [there are] envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men?” (1 Corinthians 3:3)

    "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)

Stand up and lift up your hands in total surrender to the great grace that is issuing forth from Heaven’s portal. 

 
Good morning,
 
    Stand up and lift up your hands in total surrender to the great grace that is issuing forth from Heaven's portal.  I know that My people need extraordinary grace to walk in the demonstrations of the former and the latter rain.  I have scooped from the ashes all who desire to walk in this higher realm.   All this purifying and purging was needed in order for you to walk under My anointing and not in the power of your own being.  The fire was lit to burn away all dross and the remnants of idol gods and deadly thinking patterns and everything that had taken your attention from Me.  There will be grace, and you will know for sure that all that is being done, the signs, wonders, and miracles are under My covering of grace.
    You will be drawn deeper into the realms of My love.  I have set the stage for you to know My love that passes all understanding, while the enemy has set traps to cause some to be ensnared by fear, bitterness, hatred, anger, and many other spiritual forces that bring slow and certain death.  I Am saying you must fight the fight of faith and love.  Do the most impossible thing, run toward the giants of fear, bitterness, and all other opposing spiritual forces, and be fully loaded and armed with My Word.  You are after all giant slayers, crucifying all works of the flesh and every force that is behind them.  For all who are after My Spirit do imitate Me in all of my ways.  Now will come the crucial dividing line, those who are completely after My will, are distinguished because they will consistently do My Word, not looking at what is seen.  The whole world is awaiting the rising up of the true sons of God.  The enemy's lies seem more dominant, that is even a part of the deception.  If you will only do My Word more often, you will see that the Kingdom is the true powerhouse!  I have come once again to My garden and I Am inspecting your fruit, to see the growth that has taken place.  Yes, growth takes place for those whose roots go deep in My Word, no matter what goes on around them, no matter what season they are in.  In fact, that is when you step into the secret, safe sanctuary of your Father.  I have said, blessed are those who trust in Me and have made Me their hope and confidence.  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit!  You are those strong and steady oaks that the enemy has tried to take an axe to and uproot, but you have refused to be moved.  Yes, I have seen those whose conversation is always on Me.  Even when it was hard I heard you encourage your own self in Me, by bringing to memory My good record of faithfulness.  So now because you refuse to quit or give up, prepare to stand under the great waterfall of My grace, where your weaknesses will become your strength.  My ability will cover your inability.  The waters are about to overtake you and you will float in this great grace, because you, My co-laborers have no need to be ashamed!
 
    "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit." (Jer. 17:7-8)
 
    "There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror!  For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection."  (1 John 4:18)
 
    "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work." (2 Corin. 9:8)

 There is a “sonic boom”, that is about to be heard and felt.  A supernatural sound that will shake the world, but the greatest effect will be heard and felt in My house.

Good morning,
 
     There is a "sonic boom", that is about to be heard and felt.  A supernatural sound that will shake the world, but the greatest effect will be heard and felt in My house.  I am going to shake My "fruit" trees to get all that is ripe and ready to be enjoyed by Me and others.  Those who have been pruned by Me, time and time again.  I have covered them and blanketed My "fruit" trees, so that the heat and drought could not keep them from producing.  These "fruit" trees have been yielding to the work of My hands, hands that are gentle and firm.  I am firm in that I have kept them from withering from the heat of living and My gentleness has made them great.  In the days ahead they will provide the same kind of shade and covering for others that I gave to them.  The lost, and even those who have trusted in their own strength, who dwell in My house, will begin crying for covering from the heat of their lives.  You, My yielded "fruit" trees that have been growing, almost unnoticed by those around you; you have gathered strength, stability, wisdom, and insight from staying close to Me.  Now, when it is least expected you will stretch out your branches to all those who are being burnt by their own ways.  To them it will look like you grew suddenly, yet all along you have yielded to Me and My ways, growing stronger, little by little.  I have been preparing you for this season.  It is your time to shine!  So arise and let all see what I have done in you.  Let them come and taste of you and see that the Lord is good.  This "sonic boom" will blast through the darkness, causing great light to shine bringing fresh understanding for you.  It will blast away the gloom and break your atmosphere into the songs of the angels that surround you.  The difficulties that you have experienced will be made into stairways of light and glory.  You will get the revealing words and information that I have been speaking to you all this time, but it was hard for you to hear.  I have enlarged you, so stretch out!  Rapidly, as the sonic boom makes quick changes, so it will be for you My faithful " fruit" trees.  You have come forth for your prepared time! 
 
     "[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. 17:7-8)
 
     "I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness.  Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory" (Is. 61:2-3)
 
     "But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]." (1 Corin. 2:9)
