Good morning,

You must empty yourself of yourself for Me to fill you to overflow. Empty yourself of all of the things that you brought in, all of the things that you carry in this vessel. You must empty yourself of your preconceived ideas, your thoughts and of your will and your emotions that are not like Me. You know those things that I have visited you time and time again to empty yourself of them so that I might fill you with more of Me. I can only fill you to overflowing if you empty yourself. The more that you empty yourself of those ideas and concepts that are not Mine, I can fill you to overflowing. I can cause you to become the men and women of God that I ordained long before you were even born. I knew you and I formed you for a purpose and a design, but in order for you to fulfill that very purpose, you must be empty of this world. You must die so that the Spirit of the Living God might live big inside.  You will become more like Me, and men and women will say they are the Jesus people. They are the people of God, they act like Him, they talk like Him, they are not of this world, and they will recognize that you have a different spirit, You walk a different way, you talk a different way, you behave a different way, because your God has filled you to overflowing with His Spirit. Now allow Me to do that work on the inside of you. That is where it begins. You will be a beacon of light as the world becomes darker. You will permeate your sphere with the fragrance of your Father.  I  will continue to fill you with all of My goodness so that you can effect those that I send across your pathway. I will fill the whole earth with My glory by My glorycarriers.

“For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which ascends] to God, [discernible both] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;” (2 Corinthians 2:15)

“And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].” (Romans 8:30)

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ . But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:6-7).

Love,

Good morning,

    As you choose to draw nearer to Me by consecrating your hearts afresh and renewing the fires in your heart this year you will be set ablaze. My glory will begin to consume and destroy things out of your lives and hearts that should have been expelled years ago. This glory will separate the godly from the profane, for My people have been found trying to blend both the godly and the profound. The judgment that started during the time of COVID will intensify and many will be mercifully removed, some removed because of tainting My Word and mixing it with demonic teaching. Some simply following others’ teachings, and still others were fully aware but because of trying to build their own kingdom, not Mine, which made them gullible to the lies of the enemy. For I have been long-suffering and tolerant, not desiring that any should perish but that they should come to everlasting life through repentance. I have put up with the lies, the misuse, and the abuse of My people and now I Am calling for holiness. Cleansing will begin in My house. I Am holy and all who say that they are Mine must be holy too. Those who recognize My call to righteousness will hear, obey, repent, and make straight paths for their feet. Many will not hear and they will be removed. Time is running out for continually missing the mark. My house will return to their first love in purity and righteousness. I will remove all the lying prophets as well. Those who have said, “Thus saith the Lord” and I have not spoken to them. Many following the prophets who spoke those lies, repeated the same lies. To My sheep that have continued to pursue Me, I will say to you, do not be hearers only but become doers of My word. I Am coming for a church without spot or wrinkle, one who hears and does My word. Those ways of yours that are not My ways, take them to the altar and burn them up. No more excuses for playing with sin and weaknesses of the flesh. I have fully supplied you with everything necessary to see to it that you become like Me. Wash yourself thoroughly with My Word, and come out from among them and be separate, a vessel prepared and used for My glory.

“Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things. They have made no distinction between the sacred and the secular, neither have they taught people the difference between the unclean and the clean and have hid their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves rending and devouring the prey, shedding blood and destroying lives to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them over with whitewash, seeing false visions and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord God—when the Lord has not spoken.” (Ezekiel 22:26-28)

“So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor,” (2 Corinthians 6:17)

And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked?” (1 Peter 4:17)

Love,

Pastor D.

My people are always searching for an “easy word” and an easy way!  Life is hard, you say, and I say, yes, and the enemy of your soul tries to make it tougher than it really is.  I have always tried to strengthen you and make you tougher than anything that might come your way.  Making you well able to endure and outlast whatever you encounter.

Good Morning,
    
     My people are always searching for an "easy word" and an easy way!  Life is hard, you say, and I say, yes, and the enemy of your soul tries to make it tougher than it really is.  I have always tried to strengthen you and make you tougher than anything that might come your way.  Making you well able to endure and outlast whatever you encounter.  Even when you are weak, My strength in you will arise and cause you to be able to go through and come out without the smell of that trouble on you and more wiser than you were before you entered.  My faithfulness to you is great, I will not fail to bring you to completion if you will allow Me.  I need your cooperation to do what is necessary to make you whole.  I have imprinted you upon the palm of My hand, so your name is always before My face, and because My love for you is so deep, I am constantly raising up watchmen to call out your name in prayer.  I do not slumber, so I Am constantly bringing it to pass.  That is why my angels, those that have been assigned to assist and minister to you, will not cease to accomplish their assignment concerning you.  Remember that I have given to you everything to bring you to your divine destiny.  There may be times that this may be held up because of the endeavors of the wicked one, and sometimes things you do, but as long as you will keep your trust in Me, it shall be even as I have spoken it to you.
     I have been removing all that causes you to stumble, so that you can do the work of laboring with Me.  You are the ones that I have ordained to see to it that the devastation of your generation will turn, and be elevated to the city on a hill that I destined you for.  Look past the smoke screen of the wicked one, and all will be made clear to you, you are the Joseph's in your family.   You have been sent ahead in order to save your generation from complete destruction.  It is no small thing that the enemy keeps trying to bring confusion to you and to take you out.  Just as he chased and hounded Joseph to try to make him doubt the call on his life, so the assignment of the enemy remains the same.  Through many trials, test, and tribulations, Joseph prevailed.  His destiny was greater than the testings that he endured, and through it all He became a developed and tested vessel for My glory and My plan to save nations, but especially his own generation of people.  Now you stand in the same place, you are even as Joseph.  You have endured trying and difficult times, accusations from within and without, you have been imprisoned for doing right.  Do not despair, your Helper will bring you out, for your destiny is to save your nation as well.  Many generations are waiting for you to rise up and shine from the dust.  You were brought forth for such a time as this.   I have confidence in you, for you are in My image, I Am a Warrior, and so are you!  The greatest part of you is yet to be seen.  Don't give up!
     "And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations." (Is. 58:12)
     "And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.  But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.  For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them." (Is. 61:5-7)

     "For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them." (Isaiah 61:4-8)
     "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." (2 Corin. 12:9-10)

Love,
