Pro 24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
Beloved,
Hide yourself in Me. I will lead you as I always have. I will give you garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. I will give you songs to sing as winds of adversity continue to blow. Yes, much is calling for your attention and many demonic forces have sought to undermine the work I have accomplished through you, all of this to no avail! You will rise victorious even now, but you stand unflinching in the faith. I shall promote you and move you on into higher levels of accomplishment than that which you have previously known. I am at work taking you on to greater heights. I will cause you to sit with Me in Heavenly places. I will stand against the attempts of the enemy to steal from you what rightfully belongs to you. Do not be troubled by things which are spoken among men. Many gather themselves rejoicing in temporal attainments and yet miss My will altogether. What is this to thee? But for you My child, you know Me as Lord, I am in control of thy every move. I shall cause all things to work together for your good and your soul shall rejoice in Christ your Savior. Again I remind you not to let the idle words of others pull you down.
And I heard a loud voice
saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they
overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Forasmuch then as Christ
hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the
same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
That he no longer should live the rest of [his] time in the flesh to the
lusts of men, but to the will of God.
The fear
of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
Last Night I had a dream filled
with scenarios of suffering saints. This Morning it seemed clear that the Lord
was leading me down a path of understanding. We are to be armed with a mind to
suffer if in deed we are to defeat Lucifer and put him under our feet also. If
a man cannot endure the thought of suffering he will fall away when the heat of
trials come.
This is the simple question the
Lord asks of me this morning:
"Though you are in a trial
now, says the Lord, will you continue to serve Me?"
Many Scriptures the Holy
Spirit reminds me of at this point.
But he that received the
seed into stonyplaces, the same is
he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not
root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or
persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
If a man says I am not afraid of
sickness, disease, poverty, or even death then the enemy is bound and
defeated. Fear loses its power. If we have armed ourselves to finish the
race of life victoriously, we must be armed with a mind which can endure
hardships as good soldiers...By doing so, we will defeat the enemy's
tactic of fear and Satan will be bound. Our faith will prevail, we
will overcome, and Christ will deliver us from all of our affliction.
Many [are]
the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of
them all.
But if we are inwardly
afraid, (double Minded) we will fall away at whatever provocation Satan
may cast along our path. If we say, "I am not afraid of hunger,"
then when Satan threatens us with hunger, and we stand firm, the devil
flees. If we say, "we are not afraid of loss," we will
stand and Satan must withdraw when he tempts us with loss. But if we
should say, "we are afraid of being sick," Satan will make us
sick and thus we will be defeated. Without a mind to suffer, we are
subject to satanic attack! At the very point of our fears, we will be
defeated. But if we declare, "we are not afraid of sickness,"
Satan will be defeated. Satan's weapons are lies and the result is fearfulness
to those who buy what he is selling. Our faith is discounted when we listen to
Satan and become fearful.
In the light of all this, every one of
God's servants must be prepared before the Lord to go forth with a
fearless heart. Whatever may happen - whether it is family trouble, physical
ailment, hunger or loss - we shall continue to serve. With the result
that the Enemy can do nothing to us.
Such an attitude reveals having the mind to suffer. On
the other hand, when such an attitude is lacking, we will be tempted with
the very thing we are afraid of, and the consequence will be that we will
invariably withdraw from the work of God. In short, we become unusable.
Here we see the dilemma in the Lord's service. Sometimes,
for example, in the work which God has called us to do, we find ourselves in
physical need because He seemingly has not provided sufficiently for us. What
shall we do when such a test comes? Well, if we stop working because of
material lack, our Lord is justified in asking us, "What is the basis
for your service?" In God's service, having the mind to suffer
is a decisive factor. Will we under fire say as Job did?
Though he
slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before
him.
We cannot come to the Lord and say we quit just
because we encounter some unexpected difficulty or testing. No one who
serves the Lord may run from the rain and go forth only after the sun
comes out.
That ye may
be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to
rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the
unjust.
If we have the mind to suffer, then we will work on
in spite of deprivation, difficulty, pain, sickness, or even threat
of death. In the end Christ will say: "Well
done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

Isa 40:29-31 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.
My Child,
I still carry burdens, I still deliver you from every snare. All the demands of life seek to take your focus away from the only needful thing. I remain the answer.
Though you wait, I will surely come and meet thy every need. Do not lose heart, the answer is on the way.

1Cr 12:17-18 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
Man of God,
I speak to you of nothing new. I remind you of that which was written of old. There are many tares sown among My brethren who have not the Spirit of God abiding within them. Many of these prophesy and divide My body and attack that which I have ordained. Yes, these are sons and daughters of perdition which I told you would come in the last days. Those sown of the enemy to oppose and exalt themselves above all that is called of God.
These, My child, sit in My house, making for themselves seats of judgement. These judge and tear down My work with their words of discord. Yet they claim their words come from Me. Not So! If they were of Me they would build up that which remains just as I have commanded. These, beloved, may be discerned by their bitter hearts and words which divide My children.
I ask you, can a physical hand have life and yet resist the control of the head? Your hand is living because it is manageable by the head. The very meaning of life for your hand signifies that your head is able to direct and use it. Yet some of these self appointed prophets do not understand My principle of fellowship. Sensual by nature, these discern not the need for a body, for they wrongly believe they themselves are called to do all things. These want to be not only a mouth but also ears, to be hands as well as feet. Not so with those who know Me!
Beloved, you will do well if you teach My children the need for fellowship with one another. Unify My body. Build up each other and more so as you see the day of the Lord approaching. For In fellowship My children will acknowledge that they themselves are limited and insufficient. Through fellowship they gladly receive as their own what the others have to offer.
I tell you that shall soon I shall expose openly those who dismantle that which I have built. I will do it beloved, as it is written: "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." (Mat. 13:30)
Therefore, beloved, lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Be humble and gentle before all men. Be patient with one another, make allowances for each other's faults because of your love. Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace.You are all one body, you have the same Spirit, and you have all been called to the same glorious future.

Jer 29:13 'You will seek Me and find {Me} when you search for Me with all your heart.
Beloved,
Say not in thine heart, "Where is the Lord?"
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Do not allow your loyalty to be divided. I am here!

Isa 58:13 "Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don't pursue your own interests on that day, but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the Lord's holy day. Honor the Lord in everything you do, and don't follow your own desires or talk idly. If you do this,
Isa 58:14 the Lord will be your delight. I will give you great honor and give you your full share of the inheritance I promised to Jacob, your ancestor. I, the Lord, have spoken!"
May 22, 2005
Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
Beloved,
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. Speak to My People of My great salvation. Go forth into the hi-ways and by-ways, I will go with you. I will work with you. I will confirm My word with signs.
A word of encouragement to ministers
May 21, 2005
2Cr 6:7-8 We have faithfully preached the truth. God's power has been working in us. We have righteousness as our weapon, both to attack and to defend ourselves. We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors. (NLT)
Fear not, little flock,
It is My good pleasure to give you the kingdom. A day shall come that I will share all that is mine with you. Be not weary in your well doing and do not lose heart if the promises seem to be delayed. I am faithful and true and My promises shall come to pass, even as I have said. Yet My beloved servants, I hold the times and seasons in My own hand, My times are not your times. I am tending the vine! Patiently possess your souls as you wait. I am at work accomplishing My will. Is there anything greater than this? I am at work even when you can't discern with your human eyes. Behind what may appear to be nothingness is a jubilant force readying My work in the invisible realm. As you wait I will touch many lives and do a unique work within the hearts of each one of you. Patiently wait as I perfect those things which influence you and those whom you serve. Have you not read that it is the Father that doeth the work? Stand firm against contrary and discouraging winds of the faithless and doubters. Hold fast to that which I have promised and do not waver. Have I ever failed? Soon My servants, every work of My hand shall find victory and My harvest shall be complete. You shall be rewarded as faithful servants and you shall wear the "Victor's Crown".

Eph 4:20-24 But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Man of God,
Speak to My people concerning the way of true Holiness. Tell them to follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.(Heb 12:14) For many of My people walk in falseness, deceiving themselves, outwardly proclaiming righteousness, while inwardly hating their brothers. These, beloved, are defiled by roots of bitterness and by a holding of records of wrong. I have commanded you all to love your brothers and further to love them that hate you, for My disciples are known by their love for one another! Pray for those which despitefully use you and say all manner of evil against you falsely. Forgiving them as I forgave you! Do away with your mental records of offense. Walk in freedom by freeing your debtor.
Tell My people: "If they regard iniquity in their heart, the Lord will not hear them."(Psalm 66:18) When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (Mk 11:25) Therefore, forgive as the Lord hath forgiven you, put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Again I say forgive as I forgave you. This is the tool which removes the evil roots of bitterness and restores the joy of your salvation. I would that every man should walk in favor with men and with God, that each of you should become as My Son Jesus, not condemning the world, but pointing them to a non-condemning Savior, Forgiving and being forgiven. It is My will that you walk in a spirit reconciliation. Tell My people, I will restore power and favor to all who heed this admonition.
A Word To the Lord's Prophets
May 19, 2005
Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
tes·ti·mo·ny
1 a (1) : the tablets inscribed with the Mosaic law (2) : the ark containing the tablets b : a divine decree attested in the Scriptures
2 a : firsthand authentication of a fact : EVIDENCE b : an outward sign c : a solemn declaration usually made orally by a witness under oath in response to interrogation by a lawyer or authorized public official
3 a : an open acknowledgment b : a public profession of religious experience
Recently I went to a meeting where prophets were encouraging people to prophecy to others in the crowd what ever thought which came to mind. I watched as a couple living in open adultery were being prohesied over. The Prophet told these people that God was going to cause them both to get promotions on their jobs and that they were going to get a larger home. Amazed at the amount of materialism being prophesied I cried out for an answer.
The Lord Spoke to me and said that any word of prophecy coming from Him would have authentication of the testimony of Jesus Christ. Without that authentication that it should be rejected as mere imagination, speculation,or falsehood. The Lord ask me to read "His Word" this morning in Ezekiel Chapter 13. I believe this scripture must be read by all who prophesy in Jesus name. We should be fearful lest we should strengthen the hand of sinners and whitewash the truth of God's written Word. Prophets beware of giving words which have no authentication of Jesus testimony. The Lord also spoke to me that His prophets should be busily calling His people to repentance. "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord!
Mal 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Jhn 14:25-26 These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you. But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Psa 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Beloved,
You are not alone in your firey ordeal. My strength shall be thy delivering power. I shall never leave thee nor forsake thee, though the fires rage about thee. I am here to preserve you and keep you. I will cause a light to shine out of the darkest despair. In those places where you have walked in defeat, there will I cause victory to break forth. Question not the faithful hand which guides you into firey trials, This I do to prove the surety of My protection and provision. A testimony is being built, My child. One which will bring glory to My name and will give hope to others in times of testing. Trust Me to do for you what you cannot do for yourself. Be diligent to follow me closely. For there will be storms, but My hand will protect thee in the midst of the storm.

Psa 112:1-3 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Beloved,
Be courageous under fire. Your testings will only improve your standing in
faith. I say to you, fear the Lord Thy God, delight thyself in My commandments
and I will give you the desires of your heart. Be not weary in well doing for
you shall reap in due season if you faint not. I am faithful who hath promised and
not one word which I have spoken will pass away, but all will be fulfilled just as I have said.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
Preacher,
Behold, the hour is upon thee, look not back. Stretch thyself beyond the box of institutional complacency, beyond the place where hardness and frustrations abound. Open your eyes to the spiritually needy about you. Take the Gospel to the streets and evangelize those who are poor and those who are perishing, yes, to those made ready to hear the Words of life. For the path of duty is before you... I am sending you out into the midst of a willful generation, yes, to those bent on self destruction. My servant, I have given to you the words of life. Therefore I say, be not anxious, for this path is a path of divine blessing, the path of My ordained will. You will find My grace abounds and My sovereignty shall accompany you. These are greater forces than that which you shall encounter in the world. The enemy seeks to hinder your progress on this path of blessing in every imaginable way. Give no place to him, keep yourself covered in the blood and rebuke him in Jesus name. He will flee! Your willingness to heed the call and obey My word brings joy to My heart. Do not let your thoughts of others, or fears of provision detain you! Move on steadily with confidence, knowing that I am at your side. I am Jehovah Jireh, I will provide for thee. Preacher, the preaching of the gospel is still My divine will and the salvation of souls is still My chief concern. So also should it be thine.

Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Last night I had a dream. In this dream I saw a beautiful bride kneeling prostrate before the throne of God. She was adorned in the most beautiful white gown. When the Bride rose and turned from the throne, She began to speak... her voice, and the "Voice of God" were speaking precisely the same things simultaneously. The Bride began excitedly inviting all who could hear to the wedding. She was insisting that they put on new clothing for the event. Suddenly the scene Changed and I saw the bride sweeping off a long winding sidewalk and telling those along the way that she was preparing the way for the Bride Groom and His guest. I heard the voice of the Spirit saying , "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, for the day of the Lord is at hand."
Rev 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

1Cr 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
Beloved,
You are living in the last days, The scene is set for the lawless one to be revealed; in this time there will be great delusions among those who prefer a word from God rather than The Word of God. Many will declare they have a word, or a dream, or a vision which originates with Me, yet, many of these false prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. I have warned you of false signs and lying wonders which would come in these days. I tell you plainly that those who do not abide in My Word will be easily deceived by seers whose operation is uncertain sounds. Therefore I say this, "return to my Word" and leave your carnal reasoning behind. I will bring judgment on those who continue to speak for me when I have not spoken. Many distractions are about you in this time quit looking at the distractions and look unto me the Author and finisher of your faith.

1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Tts 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
My Children,
It is My commandment that ye love one another, but many of you find this difficult because you have left your first Love for me. You have lost your passion for me through worldliness and carnal reasoning and this results in lost passion for one another. Now your flesh tries to imitate that which only I can produce. I say to you, Repent! Admit your backslidings. Even now you cry out for My blessings. Do you not know that you cannot command my blessing while you walk in rebellion to my ways. My blessing comes to those who humble themselves, confess their sins, and turn to me with their whole heart.. Stop commanding blessings from me and start receiving my blessings by walking in my presence. Walk humbly before me and receive My Grace, then beloved you will indeed be blessed..

Mar 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
The Lord Spoke to me this morning in a dream. The dream began as My wife Sheila and I came home. It was a new house with many rooms. As we were walking in the front door, I could see some movement from my peripheral vision in the bedroom. I walked to my bedroom to find an old street person had broken into our home and he was coming out of the bathroom in the master suite. I grabbed him by both of his wrist and asked him why he had broken into my house, He said he was hungry and needed food. I looked down at the floor and saw a pillow case filled with our personal items in it. I asked him why, if he was hungry, was he in my bedroom and not my kitchen. The old man lied and said he had to use the bathroom. at that moment I broke the robbers wrist. I bound him with Duct tape and call the police.
I heard the Lord speak to me about this dream; and He said, Beware of robbers which parade themselves as needy, but, come to steal from you that which you have. Protect The House!

Beloved
Yes, those of the earth are earthly, and are people who when they receive the Word from the sower, Satan comes and takes away the Word that was sown into their hearts. They are determined not to receive the mystery of life, the Holy Spirit within. The Holy Spirit who alone is able to release the hold that Satan has over their hearts and minds. And though all types of tribulations will enter into their lives, in the natural and in the deep recesses of their minds, they will refuse to call out to Me for help. Because of the hardness of their hearts they would instead desire the mountain of tribulations and the rocks of hopelessness and despair to fall upon them, all in hope of escaping the truth. But it is My desire that all should come to know Me, I will continue to reveal to them the heavenly kingdom by using you My faithful sowers of truth.
May 2, 2005
Man of God do not become discouraged, take the time to rest in My presence through prayer, reading and meditation of My Word. Spend time in fellowship with others who are like-minded, and then after you have rested go back out to the world and continue to sow the good Word. Though you will find many that will not receive My Word, know this, that today the ground has been prepared, and many will bring forth fruit worthy of harvest, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.

Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.
My Son,
It is written that My people perish for lack of knowledge, but, I am about to unleash a greater knowledge and understanding within My church. Ears will be opened to the voice of the Lord and many will fall on their faces in complete repentance. Absolute and complete commitment is the call and is what this end time strategy is all about. Those that I am using have given themselves over to Me in complete commitment. Only the faithful ones will survive thie mighty onslaught of the enemy in these days of great delusion. Only those who follow Me at all cost are being used in this end time hour. You shall see the Glory fall and prevail in My church. This will be for purification of the Church! As this happens beloved, the price for foolishness will be great. The insincere at heart will come under great judgment of My Spirit, and there will be no solace for those who will not heed My voice. Tell My people that it is time for the harlots to repent and come back to the living God.
April 30, 2005
My Son,
I've made you to be a truth speaker. One that will have truth in your mouth and will speak it. I've taught you also to temper it with mercy and with grace. I've told you to speak the truth and the truth would deliver. And the truth would set men free. So speak truth. Speak that which is truth.
Let truth come from your lips. My truth! And even as you speak truth and the other side of the sword that is painted with mercy and grace, it will bring healing to the rejected. It will bring healing to that one who has been lost and forsaken.
Remember, you will not always be popular, but you will walk in truth and will be known as one who will set many free.

Jhn 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
My Child,
As it is written, "Faith worketh by love". "Love never fails" and "covers a multitude of sins". I am calling the Church to have bowels of compassion toward the fallen. My compassion! In the coming outpouring of My Spirit, there will be rapid restoration and reconciliation, a drawing of those who have fallen into sin. Altars where restoration will be made will once again hear confession from broken hearts. My heart will be revealed to those who cannot love themselves and those who have never known the Love of the Father! I will forgive their sins and cleanse them. My child, promote a Positive Gospel, good news that embraces forgiveness and restoration, a gospel of answers and assures absolute deliverance. This is the Father's heart that none should perish. Proclaim these things before My people.
April 28, 2005
Psa 37:28 For the Lord loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will perish.
Beloved,
I am releasing power from on high, and those born of My Spirit shall walk as Jesus walked and do the works Jesus did. I am giving new directions to My faithful few and they will see all things lining up with My Word. They are heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven and they shall walk in My authority. But, I also say to you, a great separation is coming between those who belong to Me and those who simply call themselves by My name. Soon you will see those who are Mine walking in power in the Earth. But, I say to you, that those who reject My son will not have eternal life nor walk in the knowledge of My ways. A spiritual famine is coming upon the land, for I shall give the wicked over to their evil desires, and their own lies shall defile them and drive them far from Me. I called them so often, but they didn't come. I reached out to them, but they paid no attention. they ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered. Even though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me. For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord. They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them. That is why they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way. They must experience the full terror of the path they have chosen. For they are simpletons who turn away from me-to death. They are fools, and their own complacency will destroy them. But all who listen to me will live in peace and safety, unafraid of harm." (Pro 1:24-33)

Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Beloved,
A season of refreshing is coming upon laborers in ministry. New life will abound. I will shine a new light upon old passages. It shall be a season of drinking from living waters.You shall see doubts lifted concerning My promises to you as I send you those who will help glean the harvest. I Am lifting up the hands of those who hang down during this season. Expect yokes to be lifted and burdens destroyed during the next seven months of ministry, says the Lord. I am with you, beside you, and I am within you.

1Pet 2:24-25 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Beloved,
Because you have come to Me and ask, I will share My heart. Yes, there are many who refuse My correction and My counsel this hour and shall bear the weight of their sins because they refuse to repent and follow Me. These have chosen a path sin, death, and judgement and have forsaken the path to mercy and life. There are those you have ministered to which will not repent. These will walk away cherishing the sins that are destroying them.
My Child, I have heard your prayers for these and seen your tears as you Me ask Me to heal and to restore them. I have healed some but, there are those I did not heal or restore and your heart was broken for them, just as My heart breaks. Like you, many of My children have come, seeking My will. Each and every one of My children examine themselves before Me, each looking for hidden sins and strongholds that would separate them from My Heart. But every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (John 3:20)
But, I say to you any unrepentant prayer that requires Me to overlook sins or rebellion, I will not receive. Sin must be repented of and not embraced. I hear all prayers, therefore, I hear all manner of manipulative prayers, but these are not effective, fervent, or righteous. I listen, but I do not answer the double minded. Beloved, I am God, I know the state of every man's heart.
The prayers of the rebellious that I do hear, I answer in chastisement and correction. This, My child, is love in demonstration. For it is not My will that any should perish. Confront My children in humility, ask them if they really know how much God loves them? Ask them how much hardness they must endure before they will remember My Word and repent. Ask them how bad must things must get in their lives before they realize something is wrong in their relationship with their Creator.
So many have heard My Word proclaimed, but never submit to My Ways. Many profess theyknow Me and love Me, but do not heed My Voice. My sheep know My voice and obey My Words, but to those of you who call Me Father, yet have never obeyed, I say to you repent or face judgement for your hardness and willful ways. Those who truly love Me obey Me. To continue to demand your own way, is a way of death, and a path to destruction. You say you worship Me...but without obedience, your worship is in vain.
Beloved, speak to the children who hear not My words, tell them that judgment begins at the House of the Lord. As it is written: "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (1 Peter 4:17-18)

Mat 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
My Child,
I desire to speak to My people, but I am revealed only to those with spiritual(obedient)ears. My hearing people desire to Hear Me. These will not be satisfied with anything else but My Voice. You have been told that My word is for "everyone who will"...but not so, for not everyone will. However, there remain Some who will. It is to these that I will reveal Myself. It is only to those who will." The rest, My child, are in outer darkness, living but dead in trespasses and sin. Many believe that they are mine, but they do not know Me.

When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers in the high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water." ISA. 41:17-18
Beloved,
Conditions and circumstances that conflict with the current present day visitation of God's presence in your life and in the life of your church are nothing more than feeble attempts by your adversaries ( selfishness. sin, and satan) to captivate your energies and attention away from the presence of God. Your adversaries are using these conflicts to bring immediate immobilization of your vision of God to bring you into subjection to these problems. Your problems aren't your problems! Your perception of these problems are draining you of your time and talents. Look for the presence of Jesus, He is there with the visitation you are thirsting for!
Attack the enemy in the warfare of your own mind. Jesus' presence is more real than the perception of your problems.

Jhn 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Beloved,
These are the days of My Grace and Glory, for as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up in all the earth. This must be done that healing may be received of those who will believe My report. This is the time and this is the hour ordained by Me before the foundations of the earth. This is the place of consummate destiny for My house. A day of great engathering.
My kingdom has issued its call. The sounds of My holiness; My worship, and warfare are gone out. They have reached the ears of My prophets and are in their mouths. I have issued this mandate to all My house. To those who would be spiritual among you, to those who would take their place on the wall, to those who feed My sheep, and pastor My flocks and to all who would die the death to see My glory; I call you to lay down your life in brokenness and humility.
Gird yourselves as servants and wash the feet of My church. Minister rest and unconditional love to the fallen and brokenhearted. Open the flood gates of glory through welcoming the outcast and rejected ones. Let nothing stand in your way. Proclaim an uncompromising Gospel to My People and give no substitutes. My Word still saves, delivers, and heals when proclaimed from the mouth of selfless men who believe My report. GO! Lift up a standard. Establish yourselves as servants of all and I will open a vertical window in heaven and pour out My glory in your midst.
April 21, 2005
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
My Children,
You have not seen, nor do you perceive the kind of army that I am fashioning today. Behold, I am building My army, the army of the Lord. Yes, through many afflictions I will cause you to be dressed for battle. Through much adversity you will be strengthened in the power of My might. Yes, even in the midst of the fight I will instruct you.
Each battle will bring cooperation with My Spirit. I, even I, will lead you into every battle. I will teach you to move swiftly by faith, and I will cause you to walk soundly by My spirit. My children, there are many battles that I will take you into and there are many things that I will cause you to do that you do not understand. Yet, as you come to Me in child like faith, and say, "Lord teach me how to war and prevail, As you ask me to help your understanding, then will I speak to you and show you My ways.
My Children, I will garrison you and I will lead you in paths of righteousness. I will add you to the ranks of My great army and nothing shall by any means harm you. You shall prevail in battle and you shall come forth rejoicing, arrayed in an overcomers garment and a victors crown. I'm preparing an army. Will you be one of those that stands in the midst of My glory and says, "I am ready Father, I will do Your will"?
April 20, 2005
Beloved,
You are my friends if you obey me.
I no longer call you servants, because a master doesn't confide in his servants. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
I command you to love each other.
"When the world hates you, remember it hated me before it hated you.
The world would love you if you belonged to it, but you don't. I chose you to come out of the world, and so it hates you.
Do you remember what I told you? `A servant is not greater than the master.' Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you!
The people of the world will hate you because you belong to me, for they don't know God who sent me. (John 15:14-21 NLT)
April 19, 2005
Beloved,
I've made you to be a truth speaker. One that will have truth in your mouth and will speak it. I've taught you also to temper it with mercy and with grace. I've told you to speak the truth and the truth would deliver. And the truth would set men free. So speak truth. Speak that which is truth.
Let truth come from your mouth. My truth! And even as you speak truth and the other side of the sword that is painted with mercy and grace, it will bring healing to the rejected. It will bring healing to that one who has been lost and forsaken.
April 18, 2005
My Child,
For I did not call you to walk the popular path, but I did cause you to walk the path that I have put within your heart to walk. I gave you the desire and I gave you the unction. I gave you a hunger to walk under the anointing of the prophetic.
I have cut away from you the things that were not of me and I have prevented you from walking into paths that were not of me. And I interrupted your path in the places that you wanted to go because of your enthusiasm, excitement and your desiring to. I saw danger up ahead and I prevented you from doing it. Do not look for the approval of man. Do not look for those that are in high places to say, come on up here with us. Come and stand with the mighty man.
April 17, 2005
My Child
Do not be troubled by things that are spoken by those around you. You know that I am the Lord of Hosts, that I am in control, and that I will bring all things into order, into proper perspective, into alignment with My will and purposes. Do not let their idle words pull you down. I have counseled you and given you jurisdiction to counsel others. This is a day of decision. This is a time to choose. This is a time to stand with the Lord, to stand in the Lord and to stand for the Lord.
April 16, 2005
2Cr 5:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
My Children,
Recognize that your old flesh is not the real you anymore, You have a new spirit. You have been given a new love and you have a new Father. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus and your past has been cut off from you, (forgotten by God). Learn to honor the new you in holy living and righteousness. Do not look back! Do not hold on to old ways for they will profit you nothing. You have a new way of thinking and a new family. You have a new name written down in glory. Yes, all things have become new! Honor the "new" in you. For the old man says you are condemned because of what you have done, but the new man says , "I'm forgiven in spite of what I have done. Follow after the new man and you will have no condemnation.
April 15, 2005
Psa 34:19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Beloved,
I have called you to lead, yet some leadership requires example. When you face hardships or afflictions, and when you go to My word to find an answer before speaking of the situation, you are then leading by example. When Afflictions come and your prayers echo My words, My people learn how to pray. Know that no motion in life is without cause and many things you do not ask for, are simply My way of teaching those around you through the life you lead. Rejoice and be glad.
April 14, 2005
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Jhn 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Beloved,
Freedom is found in conquering your flesh. A man who conquers himself, cannot be conquered. It is your unconquered flesh and unconquered attitudes that defeat you. Promotion is assured to those who will overcome their flesh through My regenerative Word and by My Spirit says the Lord. The flesh is an enemy and a rival. But all flesh at the core is the unwillingness to change and adapt to My way of thinking. By My power and your willingness My child, you no longer have to put up with your flesh controlling your life and suffering the consequences of it.
April 13, 2005
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
My Children,
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the deeds of the flesh,. Yes, walking in the Spirit beloved, is walking according to My written Word and yielding to My way of thinking. Take up My Word and wield it against the forces of fleshly thought which desire to control your actions and your destiny. All worldly thought is of the flesh My little ones, and these thoughts must be brought into captivity in order for you to receive the full measure of your faith. As it is written; Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Through faith you can subdue agents of darkness, through faith you can take a city. Therefore, I say to you, entertain no thought which brings you into conformity with fleshly desires. I have not commanded you to overcome the flesh but deny it, However, I have told you to bring every thought into captivity. The more of My Word you walk in the less the flesh will influence your lives, your decisions, and your will. As you submit to My Word you release the power of the Spirit to subdue these agents of death.
April 12, 2005
Psalms 118:24 This is the day the LORD has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Beloved,
Do not allow what has happened in your past to limit you. Have I not said in my word, "if any man be in Christ he is a new creature." Forget about the past. Stop speaking of the past as if it has bearing upon this moment. Rejoice and be glad, for this is a new day in Christ, behold, all things are new! Do not be disqualified by setting your hand to the plow and looking back. Looking at the past places false beliefs within the heart. Men who look back limit themselves by thoughts that this is the way it has always been and that's the way it has to be. Take the limits off yourself and Me, beloved. Previous experiences can be very negative and costly to the dream I have established in your heart. Your previous experiences are not the dictator of your future, but, they can be if you do not resolve in thine heart, that this is a completely new day. There is no ceiling with God, For I can do exceeding abundantly beyond all you ask or think. Rejoice with hopeful expectation. Declare the favor of the Lord and see your pathway transformed.
April 11, 2005
Mat 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
My Children,
You must guard your hearts. Human words and reasoning will try to put all manner of limitations on you. The words which you speak can make or break your future. You must speak words of faith, words of confident assurance, positive words that take the limits off and remove the hindrances out of your lives. Don't let the words of others become your limit or your destiny. For which man hath created thee and what man shall orders your steps? Let not the words you speak create an image which is not after My image and after My similitude. Can you picture Me sick, or defeated or broke or beaten by circumstances? Beloved, I am none of these and I have created you in My image. See yourselves as I see you... As OVERCOMING CHILDREN OF GOD! Take time to renew your minds through the washing and regeneration of My Word! Learn by faith to plumb the depths of the limitless.

2Cr 2:14 Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Beloved,
Behold a new day is dawning. A day when you shall experience liberation from the pressures of time. The pressures of time have increased as sin has increased, but in this new day you shall dwell in the Spirit, unhurried, free from fears, worries, or concerns. A day, My child, when you will find the source of energy and vitality for thy spiritual life! The release of My power shall sustain thee,and secure thee, you shall lose nothing but gain much in this new dimension.. You shall walk in the rest of God, realizing that in Me you live, in Me you move, In Me you have your being. Accept the source of all power and you shall walk in My rest. Peace shall be given you and garrison your mind, perfect love shall cast out all fear.Come unto Me and I will give you rest. I will give you peace in the midst of the storms of life and you shall walk in a spiritual calm which will witness your security which comes from on high. I will cause you to triumph through faith, and you will walk in a new dimension of My power. You will see thy thoughts renewed and your faith increased as you walk by the Spirit. Yes, freedom is coming to My house, and captives shall be loosed. As it is written; He who the Son sets free, is free indeed. Walking in the Spirit will give you liberty and you will no longer be entangled by earthly thoughts. For this reason I have commanded My children to set their thoughts on things above and not on earthly foolishness. It is I who shall not only free you and cause you to walk in My power, but will also cause you to triumph over your battles with flesh and blood and I will manifest the savour of this knowledge by you in every place.
March 26, 2005
Man of God,
Be obedient and raise the standard of discipline and dedication to a higher level. For My face is set toward My soon return. I await only the voice of the father and then I shall come and claim My people from the Earth. Keep thy mind on things above and prepare for thyself and My people for My soon return. Walk in true paths of holiness and I will make thee to be fruitful, saith the Lord. My eye is upon thee and My ear is open to thy cry. Abide in Me and I will bless and reward thee and will reveal the greatness of My salvation.
March 25, 2005
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs —- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Romans 8:16-17/NIV
My Child,
Hold Fast, for I am with thee. I have arranged all things according to My good will, yes, according to My eternal purpose. Thou seest through a glass darkly, but soon you shall see face to face. I have planned ahead far beyond your present comprehension. You are in My hand, My child, rest there, and leave all else to Me.
March 24, 2005
Beloved,
I have built My Church and founded it upon the Rock, and the very gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Yes, the powers of darkness are about thee on every side. I would not have you ingnorant of his devices. He desireth with an unholy delight, and premeditation to destroy the godly and to break down the building of God. Yet, My child, My power is within thee, and this power is greater than all the powers of hell. Be not overtaken with despair but submit thyself unto Me and rise in the power of My Might and overcome discouraging spirits with a voice of faith. Rejoice in thy victory and give praise to almighty God for the deeds I will do.

Isa 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Beloved,
I desire that none should perish. My word shall go forth unhindered into every household of the earth. Eyes shall see, and ears shall hear the message of the cross. Salvation shall ring loud and clear. Even now, I am moving in an unprecedented way to gather nations into the Household of God. I am coming for a church without spot or wrinkle, blood bought, and fervent toward the Lord. Watch Me bring counsel and help to those in need. I will speak to those whose hearts have been cold and whose ways have been in error. I will make known to them the mysteries of God. I will impact lives with the full council of God. I will bring life and liberty to the captives. I will train warriors who have turned their back on the world to enter into fellowship with Me, says the Lord. This is the day when I shall provide wisdom and counsel to multitudes who have been without knowledge. Hear the word of the Lord. give ear to My counsel and guidance, for surely I have come to turn backsliders to the altar. Prodigals will turn back homeward. I am shifting things. No longer will My house be vacant, but it shall be full! A release of the prophetic giftings will usher in revival and an end-time harvest!
March 22, 2005
Ecc 7:13-14 Notice the way God does things; then fall into line. Don't fight the ways of God, for who can straighten out what he has made crooked? Enjoy prosperity while you can. But when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. That way you will realize that nothing is certain in this life.
Beloved,
I have the power to rule over every domain. I can turn the tide and I cause the borders of the nations to exist. I ask you who among you can do such things? I have set the seasons and seed time and harvest shall continue until I come again. I say to you that you are in a time of sewing, yet, soon you shall reap a harvest. Be careful then what you sew today, for tomorrow you shall reap.
March 21, 2005
Now REMEMBER THIS WORD I SAID TO YOU, ‘The servant is not greater than His lord! If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you! But if they keep My Word, they will also keep yours! (Jn 15:20)
Beloved,
You have not pushed yourself forward. But My hand is upon you to bring you forward. Fear not. Rest in Me. Be at peace! You've done no wrong before Me. You have not offended Me. You have not advertised yourself or your gifts. You have not shoved anything or anyone aside, but you've waited on God. Yet, I say, the day is coming when my hand will lift you and set you in the fullness of the positions that I've promised you. You do not need to lift a finger. Wait patiently upon the Lord and in the meantime enjoy the things of God. Enjoy the people around you. Fear not. Even as you enjoy a good meal, even as you enjoy a good sermon, also enjoy the goodness and the friendship of the people around you. "This is not a waste of time." This is building the infrastructure of the work that is to come.
March 19, 2005
Ecc 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Beloved,
Even as war torn countries are being rebuilt to become inhabitable places, this is also a day of restoration for those who have been torn at and damaged, battle after battle. That which was destroyed in battle will be rebuilt on My terms says, the Lord. There is a time to be at peace and there is time to go to war. I have called you to War. I have called you to do battle for souls. Therefore, go to war in this hour and establish that which your God is establishing upon the earth. Take whole territories In My Name, Says the Lord. It is a time My Child, to arm yourself with a sword in one hand and a trowel in the other. For it is not small thing that you're dealing with. These are no small spirits that you're dealing with. Yes, there are battles yet to be fought and victories yet to be won. Do not fret, nor be anxious concerning the battles, I am with you and I will assure your victory. The wounded and war torn I will heal, and their diseases I will cure.
March 18, 2005
Arise My Battle Axe,
Arise for battle with your King at your side. Arise and exercise the authority given to you. Demonstrate My authority before men of every nation, kingdom, and tongue. Pull down high places where darkness has reigned. Call into being those things which are not. Take hold of the weapons given you and devastate Satan's domain. Shine forth and let no man hinder thy steps. For a shaking has begun and will increase till the kingdoms of the world are made the kingdoms of their God.
This is the day of the last great outpouring upon men. In this outpouring I am calling together an army that will run for Me and not be weary. These love not their lives even unto death and will not not flinch in the presence of the enemy. Neither shall the face of men dissuade them from the battle. Yes, I am raising up holy men who will do battle and will take on the forces of evil with great courage. Men of integrity who will glorify their King. Men whose faces are set like flint against all that I shall reveal. Men whose tongue is quickened by My Spirit, says the Lord.
Yes, these men will address issues of the heart and I will establish them in boldness! These shall declare the motives behind the actions of men, for I the Lord shall expose them. I will restore accountability, My people. The fear of the Lord shall return among My ranks. I shall eradicate sin and idolatry from the lives of My children. Yes, I am pulling down life long strongholds, I am restoring My Church, says the Lord. I am bringing My people to full repentance. I shall fill them with My Spirit and they shall do exploits in My name, says the Lord.
March 17, 2005
Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
Beloved ,
Earnestly contend for the faith. Remembering always, I am larger than your logic. I am the author and finisher of your faith. Therefore, I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them. No answer to prayer is measured by worth, but, by faith in Him who has promised. Have Faith in God!
March 16, 2005
2Pe 1:10-11 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
My Children, My Elect,
You speak of your love for Me! I test that profession beloved! As I allow difficulties to come and strong winds to blow against you, your responses are measured back to you for self judgement. It is not that I do not know your love or it's depth, but, I wish for you to know. Many will mouth professions of love during times of blessing and prosperity, but only cursing and complaints when difficulties come. Out of much adversity, I am transforming and shaping a people. In affliction, My image is being formed within. Flesh treasures not the work of My Spirit, nor can it see the true value of such a test. But within thy spirit you are aware of how keen and clear things become during times of adversity and how your ears are opened for the slightest sounds coming from My Kingdom. Messages, during adversity, hit harder and ring more true. I say then, Rejoice! For I am bringing My Bride unto maturity. Childish things will soon be put away! You will then see a developed body filled with Grace and anticipation will change from earthly to heavenly things. Again I say rejoice My Children, for this work was not birthed of flesh and blood nor shall it be sustained by flesh and blood, but, by My Spirit!
MARCH 6th Through March 15th Sabbatical for Prayer.

1Pe 2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
My Child,
I have called you to be a walking expression of the Spiritual Realm, an example for others to follow as you follow Me. For this purpose, I have separated you and I prepared your soul. I have placed you in the path of righteousness and entreated you with loved. I have painstakingly formed you through firey trials and many afflictions. I have faithfully delivered you from them all. Therefore, I say unto you, cast aside all carnal reasoning, for this will profit you nothing. Commit unto Me the keeping of your soul and let your words be few. Keep thy conversations holy. For power cometh not in a multitude of words, but in speaking precisely that which I have spoken. Let all of your declarations glorify My Son Jesus. As you exalt Him, I will work with you to fulfill My will. As you obey this command you shall walk in power. Therefore, be not concerned for the misunderstanding of carnal men. I ask you do they not also need My Spirit to lead them out of darkness into My marvellous light? In your obedience I shall once again shepherd the Flock of God and My sheep will know My voice.
Isa 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
March 4, 2005
Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Beloved,
Faith is a positive expectancy of those things hoped for. If your thoughts betray you through some negative device, resist entertaining such thoughts. Thoughts such as fear or doubt will engender unbelief if pondered and will rob you of the blessings I desire to give thee. For this reason the Apostle James hath spoken that the double minded man would get nothing from the Lord. Therefore, trust and believe and you will receive. As it is written that blessing and cursing should not come from the same mouth, therefore hath My mouth proclaimed victory for the courageous and faith filled man. As it is also written; "For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." Believest thou this?
March 3, 2005
My Child,
Do not be fearful, allow no anxiety to find a resting place in thy thoughts. For thou art My Mine, saith the Lord, and My hand shall protect and guide thee. I will allow no evil to come nigh thee. Submit yourself and your thoughts to Me, this will set up resistance to the evil one and he will flee.
March 2, 2005
My Church,
I Am calling you to a place of greater responsibility, yes, even to a place of greater service. Dare to believe for the impossible, for all things are possible through Me. Enlarge your tent stakes and prepare for an increase. Yes, begin to call those things that are not, as though they were and take an unbending stand of faith. The Lord says, All things are possible to them that believe. Do you believe My beloved? Now is the time to take your eyes off of the natural realm, for all things are possible, this I have I have spoken. I tell you, that My word to the faith filled is yea and amen. Do you doubt? Bring all thoughts which exceed My word into captivity and be of a single mind. My Words will always prove true to every believer. Yes, I am ready to bless and I seek a people who will dare to believe. The Lord would say, I am God, is there anything too difficult for ME? I tell you that I will withhold no good thing from them which believe. Again I say, dare to believe!
March 1, 2005
For the Lord would say, My Son, I have an even bigger vision planned for you than you have seen at this hour. You have seen much restoration, and you have seen lives changed, even as you have seen the release of shackles of the enemy from among many, the Lord would say, prepare for an increase. Yes, multiplication is coming and I am going to increase your vision and your awareness among the people. You would ask who will be a support and who can you entrust with the vision? I tell you I am going to raise them up, yes, I will bring them in, and they will be equipped to help and to support the missions I send you on. I have seen the desire of you heart says the Lord, and there will be other houses of worship raised up, and yes, these will aid you in expansion of the ministry, says the Lord. I am going to bring in youth. Yes, the youth will even carry the message for you and they will play a prime role in evangelism. And the Lord would say man of God, you have felt robbed, even limited, and yes, even betrayed, but, I am going to heal you and remove the limitations, and I will send in better than those who betrayed you. I am going to send in those who will stand by you, and those who will interceded for you, says the Lord. I have made you a man who could see, I have made you a man who could hear, and yes, I have made thee a visionary, so use that which I have given you and rise from the dry places, says the Lord. Prepare for increase, for increase is coming your way.
February 28, 2005
My child,
It is time to consider your ways, says the Lord. Do not be silent, do not hold back, for this is the time to speak forth that which I have put in your heart. Why do you sit in silence when so many people need to hear what I have to say? Why have you waited in secret rather than speaking openly and boldly, of who I am in you and your life? Have I not protected you and provided for you? Why then do you fear man and not me,” says the Lord?
The fear of the Lord shall bring wisdom to the house of God. It will indeed turn hearts and bring true repentance. Yes, It will cause supernatural wisdom for the path which is ahead. My wisdom is the way to peace for the troubled soul. My wisdom will cause souls to prosper. My wisdom is truly what My people need, so seek me for my wisdom, says the Lord and declare My words boldly before the people.
February 27, 2005
Beloved,
Make the decision to make me your highest mission. If you do this, you will be fully prepared for what I am doing in the days ahead. Do not allow ministry concerns to draw you away from me. Do not allow the enemy to steal your attention by the things that he causes to take place in the world. Draw near to me and I will draw near to you,” says the Lord.

Mat 5:8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
My Church , My Bride,
I am waiting for you to come before me and ask for the purification of your heart. I am waiting for you to come before me and lay down all the things I have shown you. Then shall you see the Spirit of prophecy, signs, wonders, miracles return to you as never before. My glory shall descend when you seek perfect alignment with Heaven. My anointing will begin to flow and it will form a corporate anointing throughout the church. I am calling you to experience a greater anointing flowing in your lives My people. I am watching over the church and I am waiting. I am waiting for your obedience. Then I will pour out much much more. More than just joy. More than just prophecy. I will pour out a financial anointing. I will turn the tide for My Church. I will make you the head and not the tail. This is awaiting your obedience. I am not a God who promises and then will not deliver.
February 25, 2005
My child,
This is a season of dramatic visitation. I will visit those who are seeking me with their whole hearts. Allow me to plow your hearts,says the Lord. Allow me to uproot the things in your heart that are not of me. For if you allow me to do this I will be able to keep you on track in the days ahead and then you will not need to fear any man.
The enemy will seek to cause many of my people to fear man and sit back down rather than stand up and speak. But, I am calling my people to stand up and speak up. Those who do will reap a harvest of supernatural favor from me. I will anoint those who stand up and speak up with unprecedented favor, says the Lord.

My Son,
How well I know the instability of the human heart and natural desires. It is for this reason that I have said; "Be filled with the Spirit." For By My Spirit you shall love with the Father's Love. By My Spirit shall you learn of Me, and By My spirit you shall find true devotion. My Spirit biddeth you come, come and worship and I shall open to you well springs of inspiration. Do you long to love Me deeper? Seek a fresh infilling of My Holy Spirit! How much more I will give My Spirit to them which ask.

1Pe 4:17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God?
My Child,
This is what I am doing in this day. Behold the judgment by My Spirit upon the Church of the living God. There is no place to hide from this baptism of fire. I have come to expose the imposters and refine My children. Yes, I will shine a light on every deed. As for the work of My Spirit, I will thoroughly cleanse My house. My people will be raised from these fires, and they are those who are ready for the Master's Use. A bride cleansed and adorned! My people will worship Me in Spirit and in truth, not with distant hearts or lip worship, but with their whole being. I am making for Myself a people who will honor Me at all times.
Beloved, do not think that I will not use you. Do not think that you are out of My plan as you see the Sword of the Spirit separating the wheat from the chaff. The fires that have come are from Me, they are for refining and fitting My servants for My use.This is a time of spiritual advancement. This is not a work of the flesh, it is not something you can accomplish on your own. It is My plan. So rest in Me, and I will pour out power from on high and you shall go forth and work with Me. Yes, powerful signs and miracles will follow this work. Know that I am with you! Even when all seems lost, remember My promises and believe, I will build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it!

1Pe 4:18-19 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
My Child,
You cry to find greater depths in Me, yet, while I am speaking to you, you have raised objections to that which I reveal. "I say repent and I will come and cleanse you and make your paths straight. Sit before Me quietly as I search the reigns of your heart. Let the humility which comes from what you see bring My healing presence near. I have set out to eradicate that which would cause you to be powerless. I will remit thy sins and remove the shame and the guilt as you repent in tears. Holiness shall be on My terms My child. Come to the light and have YOUR deeds reproved. Yes, I have sent the poor into your path and as they ask you for money, you quickly said No! I show you your greed, your rationalizations, and a spirit of judgement within you!
Have I not spoken to you to give to him that ask and expect nothing in return? For It is written; But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? When I brought a complaining child of God into your path, (I show you again your own heart) I ask you, do you not have time to teach My children My ways and, My disciplines, without thyself becoming a complainer that your time has been taken by one of My little ones? I ask you again...does a child know or does he need to be nurtured in My ways and taught. I remind you, You are not your own to live or die as you would so choose, for I have bought you at a great price and now I ask you to consider your own ways. Judge thyself lest ye be judged! You have called Me master. If I am thy master...do that which the master bids. Through this I will make you a witness to many. I shall establish you in righteousness, when you become willing to see yourself as you are.
My Prayer:
Thank you Father, for shining this light in My heart and teaching Me again those things which you have said. Have mercy on me Lord for I am a sinner, please forgive My sins and be the power to help me trust you as I should. Search me Lord, Cleanse Me Lord, Fill Me Lord, I am yours to command.

Joel 2:16-18 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where [is] their God? Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
February 20, 2005
Beloved,
Look up and not down. Victory is established by faith and and assured! I am about to do great things before you, My people! Refuse to look back! Behold, A great day is approaching where in righteousness shall prevail among my people. Have you not read My word that where sin did abound , Grace did much more abound? I shall bring forth a great witness before the nations of the earth a bride adorned for her Groom! Adorned in Righteousness and filled with My Spirit. The powers that rule the nations shall see a great sight. Fear not My people, I am with you and I will never leave you nor will I forsake you, but I will go with you to the ends of the earth!. Your mouth will open beloved, but, My voice will be heard. I am thrusting you out of obscurity to be a witness to the nations. I am moving you out to become a voice in the wilderness . Take no thought for yourselves in this hour! For that which I will do will be marvelous. I will work with you and signs will follow the proclamation of My Word. You have spent your last year, My beloved, in poverty. For I have ordained that you should be the head and not the Tail. Who shall oppose My command? I ask you to consider My record. Have I ever failed? No, My children nor shall I ever fail. All things are held together by the power of My Word and I know no limitations! My power shall come upon all who trust in My name and the World shall again see a light shine out of darkness. Rejoice My people rejoice!
The Captain of the host declares war on regions of darkness!
February 19, 2005
My Child,
There is a great day of transformation coming to My church. I am actively at work restoring it's vision! I am imparting a vision for the taking of whole cities. No longer will the church's focus be upon the inner workings of institutions, but, focus will be turned to strategic spiritual strikes against whole sections and regions of cities. My intercessors will once again cry out for widespread revival. Whole areas will see the results as they become the target of intercessory prayers.
Churches will find themselves in a dilemma! Reformation will be needed to handle the influx of souls. Violent crimes in targeted areas will be reduced and the name of the Lord shall be echoed through out every street. Yes , My child, My power shall be released into areas which were unreachable. I am rescuing the poor, the lowly, and the broken, I will raise them up to reach the unreachable's in this hour.
My love shall transform the vilest sinners in this fresh wave of My Spirit. Yes, I am sending out a great anointing and it shall rest as a cloud over the areas where My Intercessors are praying. It will break the yoke of bondage off of the people and they shall find liberty from age old strongholds. Some of the church’s most important future leaders are now being raised up, and many spiritual reinforcements are on the way.
Yes, I will do the unthinkable in this wave of events, I will link up churches in these targeted regions and they will work together. This, My child, will increase the anointing and spiritual authority of the region. Remember, your warfare is for the destruction of strongholds so the people can be saved. It is time to pray for the destruction of the strongholds of racism and sexism which has kept My Church divided and powerless. Open your heart to see My people joining hands and laboring together. Declare war on division among believers.
Yes, I am preparing great leaders for the great end time harvest, therefore, pray that they may have wisdom from above to show them how to build upon a foundation that can stand against the pressures to come. The churches and ministries that have the strongest missions will begin to draw in the youth. However, the youth must be trained and equipped. Beloved, these will be warriors who will take new territory for the kingdom. Much is just ahead, and much more is yet to come. Therefore, I say to you, come into the war room, for you must assault the forces of darkness until they are completely eradicated in your cities. Beloved, this is a great spiritual opportunity for the church to engage and breakthrough some of the enemy’s most powerful strongholds. Stand with Me now and call down regional strongholds, cancel demonic assignments and bind dark spirits over your city. Let your voice be heard saying "Let My People Go!"
February 18, 2005
Beloved,
I hear the deep desire of your heart and I will answer your cries. Put your trust in Me, I am making a way where there seems to be no way, and I am opening a way before you. Believe and you shall see the answers to your prayers. I will remove the confusion and give you clarity and understanding. I will guide and direct you into the fulfillment of the promises. Watch Me move obstacles out of the way to accomplish My great purposes. My promises are sure My child. Through trials and tribulation I have taught you to trust Me and I have taught you to hear My voice. Do not be enticed or moved by other voices. Put your trust in Me alone. I will change the hearts of those around you to honor the calling I have placed in your life. Though you suffer the mockery of the unbelieving, great shall be your reward, so continue faithfully to make My ways known before men. Call those things which are not as though they were and you shall have whatsoever you say!
February 17, 2005
My Child,
I have not left you, you are not alone, I am with you and I have heard your pleas. I have called you out of the ways of men My child, and into the way of Truth, so be steadfast in what I have spoken to you. Do not waver, for soon you will see evidence of the move of My spirit in the lives of those who are being brought into My kingdom. You shall see dramatic change in the lives of those round about you. I am reviving the hearts of those that have grown cold. I am setting at liberty those who have been bound. Even those who have been far off are being drawn near by the power of My Spirit. So rejoice in knowing that I have been faithful to you through all the trials and tests. Rejoice, for I have made it so that nothing shall be impossible to you as you move by faith, for I have spoken it!
February 16, 2005
My Child,
I have given you dreams! Dreams, which to man seem impossible. I have shown you the end from the beginning and this day I am at work restoring the dreams that have been crushed by the weight of circumstance. My servant, I know you have trusted My Word, I also know that your heart has been bruised by nay-sayers who insist your dreams are all lies or imagination. But, just as I have promised, behind the scenes I am actively at work to cause you to rise up and possess the land and fulfill the work which I have ordained for you. What I have promised, I have promised! Many shall come, all will have to make a decision whether to stay or whether to leave. Those which stay shall be good for you, and those who depart, do not detain them for they shall stir strife. I am building My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. It shall be filled with increase in these last days. I have told you in times past that to find success you must first find the worlds need and then you must actively set out to meet that need. I tell you the world needs a savior, a shepherd! Set out to tell them they can have Me, tell them I am equally available to all. My servant, As you lift Me up I shall draw all men unto myself. Continue on the path before you. Do not turn in moments of trial and look for another path. I tell you the trials fit you for the work which I have ordained for you.
February 15, 2005
Jhn 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
My Children,
I know your faults and I know your areas of weakness. There is nothing hidden from Me, not even your thoughts! So come and let Me embrace you and begin the healing of the wounds which have kept you distant. When you are burdened with cares, do not look to others to carry those burdens, but bring them to Me, bring all your cares to Me. I alone can heal and restore. I will remove the deep roots of bitterness and resentment. I will take away your anger and I will heal your wounded soul. My love will cast out your fears and your doubts of My love for you will melt away. So come before My throne and open your heart to Me. Yes, I will renew a right spirit within you, I will change your heart and I will change your perspective. You will see things as I see them. Yes, My beloved, I will transform your thinking and you will rise above your earthly cares. So press in and receive the healing and I will free you from your chains of bondage to serve afresh the Living God.
February 14, 2005
My Child,
Be not discouraged, that which I am building shall remain. It is a permanent place, one that will not be shaken. So enter into the house. Declare it before My people. Show hospitality to the poor and the doors to the needy. They shall come in and eat with Me, for I have made the table ready. I have opened the doors wide to the banqueting hall and I am inviting in the poor, the lost, the lonely, the crippled. I have ordained that My house be full. You will see the work of the Lord prosper as you obey.
February 11, 2005
My Children,
Give Me your full attention and do not be distracted by those around you. Do not allow doubts to enter nor give place to the devil's questions. Do not be intimidated by those about you who do not understand what I am doing in you, for I am surely raising up My children in this last day, and they will walk in and take the land. My children, your labors are not in vain. You will see the results of your faithfulness. This has been the refining work of My Spirit in your lives. I have transformed you from lowly vessels into those which are able to carry My presence wherever you go. My grace is sufficient to see you through to the end. So press in and press on, run the race set before you with great endurance. Go forth in My Power and bring in a harvest of souls.
February 10, 2005
Isa 38:16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
My Child,
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Give and it shall be given unto you. Enter into your fields of labor with joy and thanksgiving. I tell you that every door which has been shut, I will be open to you if you do not lose your confident expectation. Everywhere your foot shall tread, that you will take, for I am with you. Beloved, I am moving in power to take down the strongholds for My people. I am refining those who are mine. Learn to reign! Do not lose sight of the promises I have given you. Do not be discouraged by circumstances. Do not feel that you are not worthy when things get tough. Do not move to accomplish the smallest thing in the arm of the flesh. Everything I want to accomplish through you is by My Spirit.
Becoming Agents of Righteousness and Goodwill
February 8, 2005
Beloved,
Now is the time to renew thine spiritual energies, for surely I am working within thee to restore vitality to that which your enemy has ravaged. Yes, you will see a light shine out of darkness and thy steadfast faith shall be rewarded an hundred-fold. Therefore, be My agents of righteousness and goodwill, and I shall prove myself to thee a loving heavenly Father which shall supply thy needs out of the riches of My treasury. Why tolerate an idea of discouragement at any time? Call upon Me and I will renew a right spirit within thee. I ask you to give in your time of need! Give and it shall be given to you, saith the Lord! You shall never give and become poorer because of it. As you give I shall rebuke the devourer, joy shall abound and you will find boundless treasures to bestow blessing upon others. Out of thy poverty you shall find wealth and out of thy anxiety you shall find a well-spring of Joy. Thy gifts in need shall turn the tide and shall make you partakers of blessings so abundant you cannot receive them all. Yes, My Child, I shall make of thee a channel of blessing to others through the grace of giving. As it is written: with what measure you meet, it shall be measured unto you again. Be glad and rejoice, let thy vision be restored as you give in times of need.
February 7, 2005
Beloved,
Rest in My presence and you will see how I use you to bring healing and salvation into the midst of My people. My glory is coming, but only to those who truly seek Me and are willing to lay down their lives in exchange for Mine. This is the day of new beginnings, a day to enter into My full counsel. My elect, you will bear fruit for My kingdom. A separation is coming between those who belong to Me and those who call themselves by My name. Yes, I have showered you with My blessing. I have made your paths straight, so exercise faith. Believe My word given to you. Do not doubt in your heart, but trust Me. I will carry you through. I will give you your heart's desire. Honor the Lord with your whole heart. Expect great change to come your way. Expect revival in the midst of the people. Expect great discernment to be released to the Body. Soon you will see those who are Mine walking in power in the Earth.

The Lord gives a word to wounded warriors:
My Beloved Servants,
You have faithfully waged a war for Me, but many of you have become weary in your well doing. The spirits of Burnout, depression, and wounding have been assigned to rob you, to wear you down. You have thoughts of surrendering your call. I remind you that this call came not by man, and is without repentance. Yet, while you are giving, the enemy brings criticism of your gifts. While you extend love to the hurting, this spirit comes to bring you insult. I say rise up O faithful warrior, take your position at My side. I will heal your wounds and route your enemy. You are not alone in this battle. When you glance in My direction My child, I will lead you in the pursuit. Your enemy came at you one way and will flee seven ways. I will restore you and comfort you. Beloved, don't look at people and say they did this and they did that, for your war is not with flesh and blood. Forgive those who have been instruments of discouragement. They are blinded to their actions and know not the danger that is before them. Beloved, I have not sent you to the whole, but to the wounded. I remind you, it is I that give you power, power over all the powers of the enemy, the power of love and the power of truth! This is absolute power over all the power of your defeated foe. Carry My Words of hope to the hopeless. Charge them to place a watch upon their speeches, Remind them that with what measure they meet it will be measured to them again. But you, My servant, must operate from humility and love. I will give you victory and I will restore the joy of serving. Arise from the dust, stir up the gift within you! It is time to begin again. Your breakthrough is an action step away. You shall come again rejoicing!!!
This is a time of restoration.
February 3, 2005
Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
This is a time of restoration. I am doing a great work within you. I am molding you and changing you. I am giving you stamina and strength to stand in adversity. You have been willing to give up your life and now I am bringing you into life. I am consuming everything in you that is of no use to Me. You will see your heart's desires changed. Peace shall encompass you. Your focus will be turned in a new direction for I am narrowing your sights. I will give you a single mind and you will focus on the task at hand and not be distracted by others around you. You will never be the same again. You will walk in humility. You will marvel at the unquenchable joy and love that springs forth from deep within you. You will no longer walk in the desires of the flesh, for I am cutting away those desires and you will loathe them. Your countenance shall radiate with the joy of the Lord. Peace shall encompass you and nothing will be able to shake you. Those who oppose you will recognize that you are unmovable. They will see that the Lord is your God. They will notice the life of Christ in you and flowing through you.
February 2, 2005
My People,
There is a reaping in the land, it is a reaping of your own doing, it is a reaping that has been birthed in the bowels of complacency and indifference. You have been born of Me; yes, you have been birthed of My Spirit. Have I not brought you through many trials when you have turned to Me? Have I not revealed My plans in many ways, but many are too busy to keep My ways and have neglected this great salvation. I hear the indifferent cry out for My blessing, yet they put their own desires before Me. Desires of the world and creature comforts have become the standard of measurement among My own and My Words have been tossed aside without as much as a thought. So many of you have come to rebuke Me for not answering, yet you lean on your best judgements without as much as an acknowledgement of Me or My Word. I ask you to consider your ways and return to Me with a whole heart. Find the true treasure of obedience and you shall find the path of righteousness. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. For those of you who seek to Please Me through obedience, I will come and manifest Myself unto you, I will yet, bring healing and favor to your house.
February 1, 2005
Beloved,
Rejoice, for your prayers have been heard. I am coming to minister life to the downtrodden and help to the helpless. Great grace is being poured out upon you this day, a great outpouring from your Father in heaven. Be encouraged, for I shall send in the strays, the wanderers, and blessings shall be poured out upon many, for the floodgates are opening. Evangelize the lost. Minister to the hurting. Demonstrate My love to a needy people. Present My love to the people. As you do I will enlighten you and show you things you do not know. For I am removing roadblocks and implementing My power in your life. You will see that I am taking ground, even in the assembly. I am taking ground from the enemy, restoring My people, and I will build upon a firm foundation, a structure built according to My perfect will and purpose. Rejoice that the Lord your God is able and willing to meet every need, to hear and answer every request, and to take back ground in your life from the enemy of your soul.
