Good morning,

Many of My houses have become tables for money changers and houses of entertainment. I have a few of My people who have been busy with My business, establishing My people so that they are founded and grounded in My word, settled. Seasons of life come, for have I not said in My word that every season has a purpose, and there is a set time for everything under heaven. Because I have said this understand that this season is a testing time for My people to see for themselves if they truly trust Me. I have allowed things in your life that have never happened before, and the whole purpose was to see if you would trust Me. Trust not in your wisdom, not in what you have, not your strength, not your might, not your own ability to earn finances, but trust Me, and in so trusting you grow. When circumstances blow upon the world and more are coming, swift and heavy, it won’t take you aback. You will not be overwhelmed as others are because I have set you up by causing you to be like the woman who trusted Me even in the midst of diverse circumstances. Yes, even when her son was dead, she said to the Prophet, all is well because she trusted Me that I will provide life to her son. Me the living God, not in the circumstances of her situation, not in her own power, not in her husband, not in her strength of her servants, but she trusted Me.

So I say to you, My people, I have allowed this time of season of testing so that you could grow up, so that you could learn to depend on Me and trust that I Am faithful. I will do everything necessary to see that you have everything required for your maturity. You do not need to be afraid of the things that are coming upon the earth I have already provided within you. Within you, Holy Spirit, your measure of faith is all that I Am looking for and mighty miracles can be performed. So I Am saying to My children this time of testing, allow the testing for out of it you will grow. You will be able to stand in the midst of anything that comes upon this earth and you will not be shaken though the world becomes more twisted with evil but you will see clearly. You will be immovable like a rock. You will refuse to bow to the god of this system. So trust Me, depend upon Me, know Me, and learn of Me. Come into the secret place, into the chambers of your Father where I can speak to you those divine words that you need to stand in these small things, so that as you grow you will be able to stand no matter what goes on. Trust me, I am training you for greater things.

“Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].” (Ephesians 6:13)

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6)

“To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

Come away and draw close to me, I want to prepare you for the difficult days ahead.

Good morning.

Come away and draw close to me, I want to prepare you for the difficult days ahead. Many of my dearest little ones will be caught off guard because they refuse to listen to My voice, they have been hearing the voices of many false prophets. They are saying, "all is well, and you have nothing to be warned about." Yet, I have placed watchmen on the walls, who have seen the perils from afar, and have been declaring to all that will have ears to hear, to hear what the Spirit is saying. No, do not regulate your life by fear, you must always live by faith, trusting My Word. You should be familiar with the chamber of My room, where I reveal and make known all secrets to My holy ones. My Word is true, all of it is true. It is your map and clearly shows where we are and where we are headed. It is all good to those who have put their trust in Me. Warnings are not to bring fear, but in order that you may be aware. Your preparation, should be to become sensitive to My voice, get used to hearing the sound of Me. I will lead you to the still and peaceful waters, even in the midst of the storms of life. I Am your hiding place, your safe haven. So don't be dismayed when you see what will come upon the earth. It has always been coming to this. Those who have made me their Refuge will see the pressure rising and building over the wicked and the evil, but it will not be able to touch My faithful ones. I have been a Shield to all who know Me as a Warrior and to all who have allowed Me to fight for them in past battles. Wake up to the cry of My prophets that run with My Word, you will recognize My voice. I Am all that is desired and needed by My loves, a strong fortress to them, while the rich have trusted in their wealth as their high wall. Everything that has been erected and built by all other gods will come down, every high place that was built by this Babylon system will experience a crash. Men that doubt Me and My Word have already built up a new system to lean and trust on. Their wisdom will be exposed as complete folly, yet they will only see it has higher intelligence.

In the midst of these perilous times, water, rain, and the wind will blow My loves from their places of obscurity. They will become vibrant once again with new life to spring up with fresh wells of revelation, insight, worship and understanding of the times and seasons. Arising with abilities that will bypass their natural capacity to sustain and cause them to prosper even in the time of famines. They will dream with clearer definition and awaken with understanding. The visions they see will give them deeper insight into the next steps that must be taken to bring them to a place where they are inaccessible to the climate around them. Their worship will come from those deep wells that have been untapped, but now the thirst for more will require them to draw more. Sharpen your blade, strength requires you to be sharp now! The wisdom you receive from Me will help you to succeed. I have sent My armies from heaven to be at your aid, for My holiness will be displayed by My righteous ones. You, My loves will be My pride and My glory!

"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]" (John 16:33)

"And of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs; and all their kinsmen were under their command;" (1 Chron. 12:32)

"But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law." (Heb. 5:14)

"And He has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand has He hid me and made me a polished arrow; in His quiver has He kept me close and concealed me." (Is. 49:2)

I can be depended upon to resolve every unresolved situation, I am working them out for your good.

Good morning,

I can be depended upon to resolve every unresolved situation, I am working them out for your good. I know that while you are walking through the wilderness it does not look like the answer will ever come, but I know all things. I Am omnipotent, omniscient, and all-knowing, I Am bringing you to the desired promised land that I spoke to you years and years ago, as you hold on to My word. For this is the time and the season that I Am lifting and exalting all those who have trusted in Me, and you will stand in the land of your promise, right now in the land of the living. You will see how good I really Am to those who trust Me for I can be depended upon to do exactly what I said I would do. Remember and recount the things that my servants of old went through to come to the place of faithfully knowing Me as their Father. Many fail because their trust begins to dwindle away due to enduring tests and trials, but trust Me. I can be depended upon, I Am faithful to My word. I will bring you from the place of Exodus to the place of your Promised Land, and you will walk in it and see that it is larger than you thought it could be. It is greater than what you hoped for, I go above and beyond all that you dreamed or even think. Many naysayers are around saying that it cannot be or it will not happen, but I say even as darkness covers the earth, great darkness and dense darkness, glory shall surround my people. They shall arise and awaken to the light, they shall know because I will guide them by My great light. There is nothing too difficult or hard for Me to do. I Am fashioning and forming you into the desired one that I called you to be and greater works shall you do in these days that are ahead. It will be like the book of Acts has repeated itself for My children shall walk in the glory, love, and power that I have called them to. Right in the midst of darkness, for in darkness, great light shall shine and many shall come running for they will recognize that I Am God and I still live and that I came to set My children free and live in their inheritance.

"He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me." (Ps. 18:19)

“Then your light will break out like the dawn, And your healing (restoration, new life) will quickly spring forth; Your righteousness will go before you [leading you to peace and prosperity], The glory of the Lord will be your rear guard." (Is. 58:8)

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (John 14:12)

Good morning,

I have called every one of My people to learn how to wait on Me. For those who wait on Me, something supernatural happens in their lives, in their body, in their mind, and in their heart says the Lord. I cause strength for those who are weak, wisdom, insight, and understanding for those who seek and wait on Me. They shall rise as eagles with wings on high. I will renew their strength, they shall become stronger than ever before and I will cause them to know the way that I Am bringing them, there will be straight paths for their feet. This is the time and the season for those who wait on me because I am about to do a great thing on the inside of you that will surmount anything that the enemy has brought against you. You will be able to stand and walk upon the forces of darkness and still proclaim and claim My promises for you know that I am faithful. I have proven Myself faithful to you over and over again. Do not be worried, fearful, or stressed by the things that you are encountering. Yes, the enemy has launched an assault, an attack against My people. He has used weapons that maybe you have never seen before, but I know them all says the Lord. I Am a warrior and I have defeated each and every one of them. Trust Me, I can be depended on. I will never leave you, never forsake you, never give you up, I will never! I will bring you all the way to the end, to the finish line where you will receive the great reward, the glory that is waiting on those who do My work, who do My will. So do not give up, hold on to my promises. I Am trustworthy, and every promise I have given you is a yes and Amen. That means nothing, no one, no force against you can stop the promises that I have spoken to you. Everything that I have said to you, watch and see, I Am doing it right now. Open your eyes, look upon high, your Father will not fail you. I Am riding on the clouds of glory, to bring everything that I said I would do. I Am your everlasting Father, your eternal God, and I will do exactly what I said, I have created, I have destroyed, I have devastated, and I have brought to life, I Am that same God. I Am past finding out and mysterious in My way of bringing it to pass. Yet know that I can do all things, and there is nothing too hard or difficult for Me. Watch your Father and be amazed, not astounded at the enemy but be amazed at the works that I Am doing for I Am doing great things, in you and for you!

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." (Ps. 27:14)

"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Is. 40:28-31)

"That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things." (Is. 45:6-7)

I desire a close relationship and partnership with you, one where you lean upon My strength to carry you through.

(photo credit: https://www.christiantoday.com)

Good morning,

I desire a close relationship and partnership with you, one where you lean upon My strength to carry you through. I have told you that My yoke is easy and My burden is light. I lighten your load when you choose to cast every care on Me. Don't allow the cares and worries to shift the weight over on your shoulders, otherwise you would tire out and become exhausted. I will adjust the weight, so that you may bear it and come out with the victory over them. I Am well able to carry what you can't. We must stay in harmony, step by step, you can not be found dragging behind or racing ahead of Me. Do not be frustrated with life, but rather choose My effectiveness, you will find less struggle, and in so doing you will not be self-sufficient but God-dependent. If you operate under feeling self-sufficient, you then become prideful and will be easily deceived by our enemy. His desire is for you to be wary of waiting for My help. He wants you to turn again to your own arm of the flesh, and to be under your own strength. I Am faithful to you and My Word, I will keep you, as I have in times past and proven Myself trustworthy. I will not let you down now in your hour of need. Will you trust Me now in this new testing and trouble? Remember, everything that the enemy meant for your harm, I will turn it for your good. For I will cause you to ride upon new heights and will restore to you all that has been lost or seemingly destroyed. You know Me, I Am the arms that you can lean upon, do not lean on your understanding, it will not hold you. My care for you at times of testing is greater by far than you will ever know. You may not understand at this moment what it is that I Am working out for you, but I Am always ahead of you in preparation. I require you to pull from My grace daily and when it seems darkest, to remember that My Light never goes out. My Light keeps the dark from overtaking you. I Am there with you, whispering words of love and healing. You will experience for yourself My deep intensive care for that I shower on those who have been in a furnace of affliction.

Trust Me even now, cast down the strongholds of anxiety, worry, despair, discouragement, and doubt. Rehearse My Word over your life, knowing that I will supply your every need. Stop the lies and question of the enemy, that tries to make you not rely on your only Hope. I want you to be free, not encumbered by so many things that hinder your ears from hearing Me, and entangle your mind with webs of deceit and untruths. Don't stand aloof and back off from Me, you must come close so that I can minister to you in a greater degree. I will revive you and restore the joy of your salvation!

"Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say. Then I can show other guilty ones how loving and merciful you are. They will find their way back home to you knowing that you will forgive them." (Ps. 51:12-13)

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]" (1 Pet. 5:6-7)

"For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ," (1 Corin. 10:3-5)

One sustained sound, the sound that Israel maintained, at the blowing of the trumpets and the shouts of My people that brought the walls of Jericho down.

(photo credit: https://simpletruthministries.net/its-time-to-blow-the-trumpet/)

Good morning,

The Spirit says;

"One sustained sound, the sound that Israel maintained, at the blowing of the trumpets and the shouts of My people that brought the walls of Jericho down. It is this same sustained sound that I Am requiring all that call on My name to do even today. That one sustained sound can bring you victory and cause the walls of defeat to come crashing down in your life. The shout of victory that is filled with My Word will break down walls and cause mountains to crumble, and valleys to break open with the hidden springs of life. Oh, My children, the hidden mines of victories that lie within your mouth and your spirit waiting to open floods of living waters over you! Deep treasures are about to be explored and brought to the surface for those who trust in My Word and depend upon My promises for them. As you spend time in worship and in My Word, learning how to wait with expectation, slowly, the treasure that I have already given you, will come and bubble up. The waves of the Spirit will wash against the rocky places, the hard and difficult ones and reveal what you have in your hands. Every time that you soak in My presence, the Spirit will consistently remove little by little, the hindrances that have tried to prevent the discoveries that show who you really are. You are changed by the waiting. As you behold me, these face to face encounters reflect Me, more and more, until you awake in My likeness. There are hidden treasures in secret places that have been reserved just for you.

"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Psalm 17:15)

"And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel." (Isaiah 45:3)

"Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I Am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I Am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you with My victorious right hand of rightness and justice." (Isaiah 41:10)

This promise is as good for us as it is for Israel. God will help us. With all of this world's future seemingly headed on a roller coaster of troubles, we are encouraged to look to our God for His faithfulness to His own. We are told, there is nothing to fear. It doesn't matter what happens in this world system, our foundation will not be shaken. "God is our Refuge and Strength (mighty and impenetrable), a very present (well-proved) help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be changed and removed and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the sea." (Psalm 46:1-2) God is in the midst of her, (that's us) she shall not be moved: God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning]. (Psalm 46:5)

In the book of Isaiah God tells us not to fear and not look around in terror or be dismayed. Dismayed means to look around or gaze about, to inspect or consider; to be nonplussed [cause to be at a loss as to what to say, think or do; reduce to a state of total incapacity to act or decide: perplex, baffle, stump]; looking around in amazement or bewilderment. God wants us to have no respect as to what is going on now and what will happen in our near future. Now is our time to keep a steady gaze on God, who cannot be shaken! Whatever produces fear in you, cannot be producing faith too. Separate those messages and then fix your gaze on God and you will not fear or become dismayed. You will always have a reply to terror and dismay, it will be "thus says the Lord." We will think only on those things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, good report, and things that are virtuous and praiseworthy. We will only do at all times what the Word says.

We have God's Word on His present and mighty help at all times and He cannot lie. "You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both character and inclination] is stayed on You, leans on You and hopes confidently in You. So trust in the Lord.." (Isaiah 26:30) "They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from this time forth and forever. (Psalm 125:1,2) We need only keep our mind fixed on His promises and trust that He will do what He says.

God has always taken good care of His children, even as the rest of the world was shaken by His righteous judgment. We must trust [be confident in; to be sure and bold; secure as an anchor of hope; to flee to for protection and refuge; dependent upon] in the Lord at all times. It brings all of His nurturing, Fatherly care and divine protection and provision. Do not be shaken, but firm and stable, for our God is our impenetrable, unshakable foundation. He will harden [make us firm, solid; to reduce friction and pressure being applied; to decrease the swelling and raise the melting point; to reinforce; to strengthen or confirm in disposition and feelings] us to difficulties, we will become tougher and stronger instead of weaker! We will become less likely moved by our feelings, not as easily moved by the swelling up of our emotions and attitudes. God will reinforce us and raise our melting points, even as the fires of testing rises. Yea, God and us!!!

Love,

Pastor D.

Even though you may be walking through the darkest, sunless valley of the shadow of death, do not fear. I, even I, am there to lead and guide you. I will not leave you.

Good morning,

Even though you may be walking through the darkest, sunless valley of the shadow of death, do not fear. I, even I, am there to lead and guide you. I will not leave you. Lean on Me and I will hold you in My hands. You will come out into the sunshine that I have prepared you for. I will bring you to your safe haven. You will overcome this too, and grow stronger and be more determined than ever to trust Me. You will come to understand and know that I really know what the best way is for you. I know that at times, you do not believe I have your best interest in My heart. You think I have closed My ears to your cries, because it is not the way you would choose. You are the apple of my eye, trust Me! I can see farther than you, I know everything concerning you. Your future is far greater than you can imagine. If you let Me I can make your life so sweet, you will pinch yourself to make sure that it is you living it. Will you really trust Me? Everyday I Am bringing you closer to the end of this place that you are in. I hear you, I care for you. You are not by yourself. I am turning things around and straightening out the crooked places in you, as well as in your living. I can be trusted with every detail of your life. I am your Father, and I am dependable. Most of all, My beloved, I love you more, so much more than you love yourself. Stop running around to everyone and everything else, come up and rest in My arms. Take a deep breath and rest in Me. Fix your gaze on Me. I truly am trustworthy. Come on, run to Me, I will be your resting place.

"The steps of a good man are ordered {directed and established} by the Lord: He delights in every detail of their lives. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him." Psalm 37:23-24

"For he who has entered God's rest (intermission; recreation; repose; to be refreshed and to take ease) has also ceased {be still} from the weariness and pain of human labors." (Heb. 4:10)

"Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! (Ps. 107:28-31)

Love,

Pastor D.

Good morning,

Trust me. Just trust me. Joseph learned to trust Me even as he went through the things that he endured in his life. He knew My heart, he knew My call but he did not know the way to the end. Yet, my plan was good. So I say trust Me, even when you do not know exactly what is going on, I Am working those things out for you, for your good. I know the end from the beginning, I Am the divine designer of every plan for you. I have not messed up, I have not misstepped, I Am steady and I Am faithful even now says the Lord when things seem so cloudy. Think about My servants, think about how they had to learn to lean upon Me and not trust their own understanding, nor their insight, nor their own wisdom but they leaned on Me. There are times that you do not know what to do, that is when you must lean on Me for I know, I know the way. I know how to get you there with the least amount of attacks from the enemy, I know says the Lord. But it is when you run from the shelter, the secret place that you come under assault and attack from the enemy, but as long as you stay in a hidden place, where I Am working things out. Trusting Me, looking to Me as a child does to their Father, knowing that I have nothing but your highest interest in My heart. There is nothing that you are going through that I have not allowed already for the perfecting of you, some are hard to bear I know, but just like Joseph, I will deliver you from the pit. It is all about you growing up, maturing, and being strong and being steady. I will not let you fail, I will not let you fall, I will uphold you by My right hand of justice, I will not let go. Stay steady and stay strong for this is the season of testing and blessing for My children but your eyes must be on Me, not on celebrities, not on man, not even on those that are well known in My camp. Keep your eyes on Me for I Am the way and I will lead you in the way everlasting, I will not let you fail.

"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby: If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious" (1 Peter 2:2-3)
"You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fulness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore." (Ps. 16:11)
"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet fine, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure." (Is. 46:10)

Love,

Pastor D.
