August 30, 2024 – Ears to Hear, Hearts to Obey

Good morning,

You simply obeyed Me and stayed in the process. It is a process that I have been working in you from the very moment that you accepted Me as your Lord and Savior. I started with a heavy rain to force out all the things on the inside of you that had become lodged and would not move and I sent a heavier rain, a downpour on the inside of you to wash you deeper. Then I sent forth My wind to blow away those things that were stubborn and resistant to My Word. My spirit went forth as the fresh, fresh anointing, the oil that dripped upon you that caused you to become My anointed one amid this diverse culture that you live in, to bring light and My anointed Word. I have anointed you on the back roads of the wilderness when others did not know you. I knew you, and I called you out, and and I appointed you for this day, this hour, this season, this time. Think it not strange concerning the trials that have come upon you. It is to ordain you and set you apart so that you might be strong amid everything that is coming upon this world. You will not move, nor budge, but you will stand strong like a tree planted. Planted by My Word, planted to do My will, planted to walk in the midst of darkness and not allow that darkness to overcome you, but you will overcome the darkness with the light of My Word. This is My calling, and I have set you apart for such a time as this. So, be not afraid of the things that you see, be not afraid of the things that come upon you. But, be glad that you have been saved, and set aside and appointed for such a time as this for I have anointed you and appointed you and there is nothing that shall stop you. Go forth and do what I have anointed you to do.

“For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion? ” (Esther 4:14)

“Beloved, do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality, as though something strange (unusual and alien to you and your position) were befalling you. ” (1 Peter 4:12)

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound,” (Isaiah 61:1)

Love,

Good morning,

A generation that believes, a generation that believes My Word. I have waited, looked, and longed for people who would believe what I speak and walk with Me. In each generation, I have had a few who took Me at My Word but waited for a whole generation to believe that everything I said is a yes and amen. I have longed for those people to come forth. You have been birthed for this generation and now you stand ready to walk and do exploits in My name. The fullness of the matter has not yet been seen for I have anointed you with a fresh anointing for the time that you are living in. It will go beyond your understanding and comprehension if you just step over into the unknown with Me. If you would release those things of the past and press forward so that you are not encumbered. The weight of this world, the weight of sin, the weight of everything around about you that tries to hinder you from being exactly who I have called you to be will not hold any power. To open up and let the world see that I have created great men and women in their midst who shall go and do the work of their calling. I have called you to boldness and not be afraid of the enemy. Yes, his voice is loud, but Mine is greater says the Spirit of grace and mercy. You will do mighty works unashamedly, unafraid, and boldly declaring who I Am. I know that you think that you do not have the mouth to speak, but I have anointed you and I will rest upon your lungs and your voice and I will rest upon you and know that you are never too old to carry the charge. I will anoint you from on high to do exactly what I appointed you to do. Before you were in your mother’s womb I knew you and I appointed you for this day, this moment. Great shall be your peace, great shall be everything that I have anointed you to do. You shall walk and men shall say, “Where has she been? Where has he been?” He has been in the wilderness with his great and mighty God forming and making him able to stand through difficult times. Yes, that is you I say. Yes, that is you.

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalms 119:165)

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”(Daniel 11:32)

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1)

Love,

 I Am your helper, the great defender of your soul.  I have a plan that will come to pass for you as long as you keep yourself hidden in My arms of protection.

 
Good morning,
 
    I apologize for being missing in action concerning the Word.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.  Here is the Word from the Spirit:
 
    I Am your helper, the great defender of your soul.  I have a plan that will come to pass for you as long as you keep yourself hidden in My arms of protection.  There is nothing devised by the enemy that can stop, defeat or hinder My plan.  I Am always greater than anything seen or felt on this side.  You will see and know that as a Father I carry My own to safety.  I establish everything and therefore nothing that comes shakes Me from My settled promise.  The winds will blow, everything depended upon will crumble, do not fear!  Though the earth be removed and the mountains are carried away into the sea, I will not be moved.  I Am the river that makes glad.  The steady immovable rock.  Your constant Father, I change not.  I can be depended on to do exactly as I have spoken to you.  I Am.
 
    I will bring you through a way that you do not know.  Through the wilderness, I walk by your side and carry you through.  I Am the way through the wilderness as well.  Unknown paths and unfamiliar ways are not new to Me, that is why you must learn to trust and lean on My strong arms!  This is where faith in Me and My Word comes in, while you look not at the things you see.  All of those distractions and loud voices that are sent by the wicked one to draw your attention away from what I Am doing and saying through the wilderness.  Know My dear ones that as you allow Me to do the great work in you as we travel through the wilderness, I remain the same, constant loving kind Father.  I Am supplying you with My water of great strength.  My life-sustaining food I give to strengthen you too.  Trust Me, you can trust Me.  I Am consistent in My plans for you, they are still for your good.  I Am bringing you to the place of peace.  I Am.
 
    "How precious is Your steadfast love, O God!  The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings." (Ps. 36:7)
 
    "Lord, You will ordain peace (God’s favor and blessings, both temporal and spiritual) for us, for You have also wrought in us and for us all our works." (Is. 26:12)
 
    "God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning]." (Ps. 46:5)

I have brought you to this place, a place where there does not seem a way to cross over.

Sunrise-pier
 
Good Morning,
 
     I have brought you to this place, a place where there does not seem a way to cross over.  I brought you to this place so that you could look back at the wilderness and see where I brought you from.  Look over into the promise places that I Am taking you to and realize that your ability, might, strength,or your ingenuity cannot take you over.  It is by you yielding to Me, it is completely surrendering your all to Me.  By recognizing that there is nothing in you that can cause you to cross over, only your complete surrender and trust to me.  That is what empowers you to follow the course of My Spirit.  For I am well able to bring you over into that promised place.  It is that place where you lift up your hands out of complete surrender realizing that everything that you have done, all that you have mustered up in your own strength has not brought you to the desired place.  Only those moments where you yielded to Me where you able to walk in My highest for you.  It is that place where I will cause you to cross over on My wings.  Only on My wings, on My strength, and My ability will you cross over.  And I say unto you this is a good place, it is a place that I have brought you to, so that you would really know what it is to walk by faith, really know what it is to trust Me, really know what it is to lean over on the arms of your mighty God.  It is then says the Lord,that I will bring you out with a strong hand, I will bring you out with a mighty hand.  I will show you what it is like to walk in the promised land, to receive what belongs to you.  I will cause you by the Spirit of the living God to slay every Hittite, every Jebusite, every "ite" in your life and you will walk completely free in this land, says the Lord.  They are the enemies that have been sent on assignment to steal, kill, and destroy your destiny.  As you embrace the peace that surrender brings, you will obtain the blessings of the promises given.  It has been all the while because of My mercy and My grace.  Here you will know that My grace is sufficient enough to take you in, says the Lord.  My grace is sufficient enough to bring you into the wide open spaces of your destiny. 
     For the rains of change have brought you in to the place where a sweet fragrance is coming forth, and it is coming forth because of your obedience to yielding to My Word, you are going to step over into a new land.  Just about the time that you are ready to give up and quit, My Spirit will awaken you, will revive you and will make all things bright for you.  This is upon your horizon, so hold your head up high.  Realize we are going into a new land, a new territory, to do new things and it will no longer be by your strength or your might, this you will see.  You will understand who you really are and that I cover you, and you will walk into that land whole and complete.  You will walk into this land recognizing now, once and for all that you are Christ like, that you are God like, and you will begin to do war against the forces of darkness that have hindered you and kept you standing still.   Be not afraid, be not afraid of what you are about to step into because I Am with you and for you and I Am your rear guard and I will lead you into that place.  So total surrender is needed in this day and in this hour to step into the summer of your life, the highest freedom, rest, and relaxation of your life.
     "Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard." (Is. 58:8)
     "The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land.  They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them." (Ezek. 34:27)
     "The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust." (Ruth 2:12)
 
Love,

 I know you says the Lord.  I know you more intimately than anyone else has ever dared to know you, and I know the enemy has desired to sift you as wheat.

Good morning
 
     I know you says the Lord.  I know you more intimately than anyone else has ever dared to know you, and I know the enemy has desired to sift you as wheat.  But I have prayed for you, and because I stand as the intercessor of your soul, know that there is no weapon, there is nothing that is formed against you that shall ever prosper.  I have seen your tears, yes, and know that weeping may endure for a night but joy, joy comes in the morning, and you have read in My word that they who sow in tears they shall reap in joy.  Joy is coming to you.  There is about to be a turnover for you, for I have taken the tears that you have cried and I have taken them and put them in My precious bottle.  There is a reason why I put them there, it is so that they can turn over for you into a harvest of joy.  I will multiply back to you with every tear that you sowed as you prayed and sought My face in those times through difficult seasons.  I Am bringing you out says the Lord, for I know the way to bring My bride out, I will cause the enemy to be astounded.  I Am bringing you out and those things that have been crushed in you through the wilderness years, I Am using them as a sweet smelling savor.  It will become the perfume that will turn many back to Me says the Lord. Because the enemy desired to sift you I have taken the sifting and the things that he tried to place upon you for destruction and turned them for your good and now I have placed you high above your brethren.  This anointing shall rest upon you all the days of your life and you shall be extraordinarily different and unique in My kingdom says the Lord.  Many shall come because of the fragrance, because of the crushing that has come, many shall come.  Do you not understand that the crushing of the wheat brings more, makes more, and multiplies more in My hand?  So even though the enemy sought to destroy you, he pushed you into more says the Lord.  My hands touching those things that he desired to destroy, I multiplied into goodness, because everything that he meant for your evil I have turned around for your good.  
     This is the season and the harvest of good.  A joy is about to be released in you that you have never felt or experienced, it has been welling up on the inside of you.  Mixed with tears now joy shall burst forth like a river of clarity flowing into your life.  You will find the pleasure that I have for you and in you.  You will walk in it, and every place you go people will almost be infected by that joy that will exude from you, this is a turnover for you.  Do you understand everything has brought you to this place and to this moment and now your faithfulness to Me will abound in goodness?  You will see and understand that there is a sweet smell that I have been busy uncovering in you, that many have been longing for and needing. Yes, you had to go through, the sifting was a necessary journey to make you able to stand.  I have said in My word, even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, fear no evil for there, even there I Am with you.  I am opening my most costly anointing, you.  Even in the dark times I was there, when no one else could be found, I was there.  I Am your faithful Father, the lover of your soul, the keeper of all your tears, and I know what you have gone through and I have been with you every step of the way.  Just know you will walk in your deliverance, walk in your wholeness, your head will be held high and there will be none like you who can stand the beauty that I have placed upon you and the sweet smell that shall come forth from you will intoxicate others into joy.  That is My seal of approval being placed upon you.  I Am not through or done with those things that I Am bringing forth from you. You have not begun to see what great things are in you but get ready, get ready for I am opening up that seal, let it fill the earth.
 
     "But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere, For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing:" (2 Corin. 2:14-15)
     "For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime or in His favor is life.  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Ps. 30:5)
     "You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle.  Are they not recorded in Your book?" (Ps. 56:8)
 
Love,
