January 7, 2006

My Child,
Trust and obey. Keep focusing in on the job I set before you. Keep moving forward in the call. I am opening doors you did not expect to see opened. I am causing things to work together for your good. Therefore, be of good cheer, for I have delivered you from the hands of the enemy, from attempts to stall you.

Press forward. Do the work outlined to you. I will give you the strength and stamina needed and I will heal your body, says the Lord. Those who try to interfere will be pushed back and the work will be accomplished on schedule, so press in to complete the task. I will be informing you of the next step, so keep your eyes and ears open to My leading.

I have heard your cry for help and I am coming to set things in order, to put things in their rightful place. I will guide and direct your footsteps. You will be moved on into the place of authority that I have assigned to you. I will give you direction; show you where to put an emphasis.

You will be instrumental in affairs to come. You will designate roles. You will bring counsel, and you will establish many in works as I direct. I am giving you the desires of your heart, the ability to do the Father’s will. Move on now with patience.

"Change of Heart"

January 6, 2006

My Children,
I have given you My word. I have entrusted it to you, so rejoice in knowing that I have been faithful to you through all your trials and tests, that I have made My ways and wants known to you, that I have shared My very heart with you. Do not be over concerned about those things that transpire around you. These are only “surface” issues. The greater issues are the issues of the heart, and it is these that I have been working on. You will see dramatic change in the lives of those around you. You will see that I have been moving according to My heart’s desire to raise up a generation that does not fit the mold of "traditional Christianity" but bears My heart and is a witness to My power at work to set at liberty those who put their trust in Me.

"Miracles"

January 5, 2006

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

My Children,
Your faith will connect you with the source of all power, yes, I say even a grain of faith! I will fill every longing heart and satisfy every craving soul. I will not withhold My power and My glory from any seeking heart. Therefore, let no prevailing wind or wave cause you to doubt My love and My continual care. Learn to quickly cast every burden upon Me, for I am He who takes care of you.

Yes My children, your focus should be on My Word... Seek My promises to you. Your miracle is in the believing that which I have said. When you pray, bring Me no doubtful prayer, says the Lord. Build up your faith on my Word, Then speak My promise over your concern. It is then, that your request for Me to intervene becomes a doorway for My intervention. When your eyes of faith are opened to the endless possibilities then let your tongue bring forth faith filled praises. It is then that My word to you becomes "Yes and Amen!" My children, I will withhold no good thing from those of you who love Me and are called according to My purpose.

Shout your answer back to the wind! Yes,with a loud voice, proclaim those things that be not as though they were. Give me the vehicle of your pure faith, and you clear a pathway of your human reasoning, I will hear you... I will answer. I will arise and your enemies will be scattered.

My children, there is nothing is to complex for Me! Lean upon Me, You will see My mighty power extended and your situations reversed. Miracles belong to those who will believe. It is not by human might, nor human endeavor, but by My Spirit that My answers will come, saith the Lord.

The Curse of Human Contemplation

Pro 3:5-7 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [in] a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jer 17:5-8

"The Secret to Fullness"

January 3, 2006

Luk 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

My children,
You desire to please Me, and you have asked what else must you do to receive the fullness of God? I say to you, you must forsake all to find what your heart longs for. As it is written; "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me."Mat 16:24

Yes, those who follow Me, can only do so by unreservedly abandoning every right over one's self. My children, you are not your own, you were bought with a price. 1Cr 6:19 Further, not a thing remains that belongs to you. Alas, how many of you who desire to follow Me, resist when I ask for that which you love, that which draws you back from fully following Me.

Many who would follow Me set up rules, imposing upon Me conditions by which they will follow. Not willing to abandon themselves, they now find it impossible to be filled. Soon their service becomes a burden, and the joys are removed as they move without My fullness. For as it is written: "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fullness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore. Psa 16:11 "My children, No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other." Mat 6:24

Therefore, set no boundaries in your abandonment and find the fullness of life. I tell you, He who renounces the self life and every selfish movement, will find life abundant and will be a partaker of all that I have. My children, it is a true saying that whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Mat 16:25

"Lies and Faith"

January 2, 2006

Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

My children,
Each of you will be judged for every word, thought, and deed, of what manner they are! For this reason I have taught you to bring every thought that challenges My promises to you into captivity.

Yes, every fear filled thought, if not brought into captivity will bear fruit from your own lips. As My Word also teaches you, what is not of faith is a sin, Rom 14:23 and of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh!

When your enemy whispers discouragements to you, it is a lie. He only visits you with these thoughts to steal, kill and destroy. It is his attempt is to let fear gain ground in your thoughts until your words begin to bring agreement, and to bring agreement is to bring forth fruit unto death.

As it is written:Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Pro 18:21 Do not wait until you are bearing fruit of fear to run to me. Faith is now! When the tempter comes, I have taught you that you should submit to Me, resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Resistance is futile after you have given him place. You then become captives of his words by your agreement. Your faith in his lies will give power to fear to bring forth death and destruction.

But, I have given you My Words...My promises and they are power and they are life! Acknowledge the Truth and withdraw yourselves from the snare laid for you. The use of My Words in faith will change your destiny.

Therefore give no place to the devil! You have been given power over all of his tactics through My words. Let them abide in you mightily. Rise up use My words against thoughts of defeat, fear, depression, and discouragement. and declare your victory. Walk in faith and truth not faith for lies...and watch your world change, says the Lord.

WHO WILL BE SAVED

January 1, 2006

Beloved,
I hear your cries of who will be saved? Those who cry out to the Lord! I will pass no one by. All will have equal opportunity to come into right relation with the Lord. All will be given opportunity to come out of darkness into the light. Pray for the restoration. All things will be restored to those who hope in the Lord, for I am the Rock, the firm foundation. Establish yourself in Me and I will give you riches untold from My storehouses, riches not as the world has to offer, but that which is eternal.

"A year of renewed hope"

December 31, 2005

On the last day of the year the Lord saw fit to give me a dream.

In the dream I was walking around looking at the work the Lord had called me to. I saw that it had dwindled down in number to just handfuls of people and I knew in my heart that my reality and the promises God had made to me concerning ministry were nothing alike.

I looked at the work and shook my head, but I did not utter a word to anyone about the massive failure I felt I must be to the Lord. I saw holes in the walls of the rented building we met in, and I thought where will I get the money to patch those holes.

I looked at those who were my helpers and they all seemed to be preoccupied with their own issues and lives and were unable to help. As I continued laboring, I thought about the hundreds of pastors and missionaries who relied on Crosswinds for subsistence. I felt a sense of being overwhelmed by it all. Somehow I just kept on ministering to those around me.

Thoughts came to me of those who had been a part of the fellowship in the past. Many had given voice to Lucifer to discourage and wear me down. I remembered one man who came telling me that a very affluent and influential pastor in our city had said to him, "there must be something terribly wrong with Crosswinds... That little work has never done very much and doesn't even have it's own building."

Thought after thought visited me... It was the voices of many many nay sayers which Satan had Sent to steal my joy and discourage me from the vision God had placed in my heart. Overwhelmed by all the negative thoughts of the past ...but silently suffering I kept helping and ministering to those in need around me.

While I was working and ministering in this dream, a pastor came to me and told me he needed a $250.000.00 miracle for his ministry. The Lord had told him to give Crosswinds the $25, 000 he had been holding on to. Being an obedient man of God, the pastor got in his car with Check in hand. He found me ministering and handed me a $25,000.00 check.

While he was handing me the check, a man came running to him from his congregation and told him that an offering had been taken and all of his need had been met. Again I was feeling a little overwhelmed by it all. I looked around me and waved the check In the air and I saw new faces surrounding me everywhere. One looked like a Mennonite man and many people now surrounded me, all worshipping God for the miracles and the provision. One of the men standing nearest me said, "now we can mend those holes in the wall." Another said, "God has shown you great favor, you must really feel blessed."

When I awoke, I had a sense of awe and The Holy Spirit spoke inside of me and said your labor has not been insignificant or small, thousands have been affected and ministered to because of your faithfulness and steadfastness. Hope rose in a weary heart. Folks I know dreams are not reality...but they are the substance of things hoped for. The evidence do things not yet seen.

This morning I was given these scriptures verses during my time of prayer and meditation, each seemed to confirm my dream:

Isa 43:19 For I am about to do a brand-new thing. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness for my people to come home. I will create rivers for them in the desert!

Isa 43:20 The wild animals in the fields will thank me, the jackals and ostriches, too, for giving them water in the wilderness. Yes, I will make springs in the desert, so that my chosen people can be refreshed.

2Cr 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

2Cr 9:8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:

1Cr 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

1Cr 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Rom 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Rom 5:3 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Rom 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Rom 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Today, I know God has spoken to me, and perhaps to you! This year we face new opportunities to know Him more, to walk in faith, & to grow by His grace. With this renewed hope, do not allow the past to steal your faith for His promises. This year God is going to send all who love Him, streams to refresh in. May the God of all hope give you the desires of your heart in 2006.

"GRACE FOR THE TASK"

December 30, 2005

My Children,
Your labor is not in vain. You will see results of your faithfulness as you continue to seek Me. My power is great and My grace is sufficient to see you through. So press in and press on, do not faint. Run the race set before you with great patience. I have set the prize before you and you are on course. Give Me your full attention and do not get distracted by those around you. Focus on the job at hand and you will see how I mesh all the intricacies of My plan together. I will give you wisdom above the wisdom of your adversaries. I will give to you the desires of your heart. Greater grace is coming your way. I will entrust to you the ability to do those things you never dreamed possible. I will put into your hands the tools for the job. Soon all things will be functioning according to My plan with not one out of order. Yes, you will see it and rejoice. So Get refocused, get back into the truth of My word. Come into agreement with Me in this day and call down the high places, break the hindering powers of darkness in the realm of the Spirit, and you shall surely taste the victory. Do not let negative thinking or discouragement rule in your heart, for these are tactics of the enemy to blind you to what I am accomplishing in this hour.

"Courage Under Fire"

December 29, 2005

My Little Ones,
I tell you there must be time away from all that bids for your attention. Time to find the still small voice and the storehouse of fresh revelations. This comes only from an awareness of My care, a nearness of My presence. I am calling to you beloved. Seek those things which are above. I ask you to do this for thine own peace of mind and spiritual health.

Nothing can compare to the transforming power of My love. My love is only sensed when you set your attention upon Me. Let Me satisfy thy souls hunger. I desire that you be strong in faith. I desire that you be courageous under fire. Fire test all things, whether or not they are the true work of God. This is not of the will of men nor can it be accomplished within thy flesh.

It is My work of purification and freedom. This shall bring death to the carnal nature of man, but life to the inner man. I am giving you a new nature, the nature of Christ. I am truly filling men with My presence and they shall indeed be transformed.

Rejoice for as it is written; "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly." As I begin this reign in your hearts, even your adversary will tremble and flee. Nevertheless, I remind you, rejoice not that you have power over the adversary, but, that your names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life!

"Righteous Judgement"

December 28, 2005

Pro 29:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

My Children,
Question not thine own soul when you see the unrighteous prevail in a matter and your heart is torn within. For I have placed this within your hearts. Yes, the desire of My Spirit is within thee. A need for righteous judgement, a need for justice, and a heart that despises sin. Remember the words Paul spoke: "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man."

Yes, as a child of knowledge, use your words with restraint, be children of understanding, even-tempered and control ye your thoughts in the qualities of love, as did your savior. Yes, again I say, follow My example. Be full of love for others, though they err on the side of unrighteousness. Remember it was I who loved you and gave Myself as a sacrifice to take away your sins.

Forgive those who oppose themselves, pray for them, and be filled with compassion for the spiritually blind. For I am the Righteous Judge who seeth, heareth, and knoweth all things. I will execute righteous judgement on all mankind. Therefore, remember ye, that I came not to condemn the world , but that the world through Me, might be saved.

Having then this knowledge, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

"Arise... Shine"

December 27, 2005

My Children,
The greatest of all prophets was in his own eyes not even worthy to be called a man of God, but only a voice. A wilderness voice, modest, retiring, and unconcerned about honor or usefulness.

He cared not about having a ministry or about being "mightily used of God" He considered himself unworthy to even touch My sandals. His entire life was devoted to "the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world."

This, My children, is the season that I shall raise the voices of those who like John, cry in the wilderness. Those whose only concern is the advancement of The message of "The One" who taketh away the sins of the whole world.

I have placed each you strategically in the front lines to do My work. I have set your face as flint. I will give you the ability to stand against every attack of the enemy and I will guide and direct you in prayer. Arise and let the light shine. This is My desire for you, so begin to move out in authority and I will guide you and direct you along the way. Have faith and be confident that I will make a display of My Glory in your midst.

"The Blessings!"

December 26, 2005

My Son,
Look at the people I have put into your life. Understand that there is a blessing being passed down to you and through you. Friends, family, building relationships, these are elements of what I am doing. I am linking you. Relationships shall blossom, deepen, and become more and more real. I will expand your circle of true friendships. Watch Me move others in and strengthen ties.

I will bless you and release you into the fullness of joy. This is the day when I shall take you into those places promised. I will focus you on the mission set before you. I will give you the power to overcome every fear and every odd. You will stand amazed when you see how powerfully I lead you. My power is resident in you and you will see it increase by leaps and bounds. I have not left you. I have not forsaken you. But I have come through for you in those areas that were of concern to you. And I will continue to come through on every promise.

Great grace is upon you. Great are My ways. I will lead you and teach you and bring you into such a revelation of My love, that you will stand in awe. Move ahead according to plan. I will give you the desires of your heart. All your children shall praise Me. I am moving amongst them and taking them into understanding. This is the day of revival in the land. I shall revive those who have been without life in My Spirit. I shall bless those who are Mine. I will supply every need.

"The Blessed!"

December 25, 2005

My Child,
I have placed My blessings upon you and I will work wonders in your midst, so do not be cast down in thy spirit. Do not fall under a heavy load. Say not, I have a burden from the Lord, for I have lifted you up and removed your heavy burdens. I have provided for My own well above all they could ever need. Marvel not that I say you shall be blessed beyond all you could ask or think. You do not see what I have in store for you! You do not see the great things I am doing behind the scenes to qualify you for what is to come. Yet in this day, I shall cause the exploding forth of all good things toward you. Trust Me. Walk in My ways and you will see the fulfillment of promises made.

"The Year of the Lord's Favor"

December 24, 2005

Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?” John 11:40

My People,
My faithfulness reaches to the Heavens and My love transcends all boundaries. I have not given up on any, but I have come to seek and to save that which was lost. Get refocused. Get back into the truth of My word. I gave My life to ransom sinners from the pit of destruction. I died that they might have life and have it more abundantly. I am not “done” with My promises toward this generation. I have not turned My back on them, but I am gathering an army,” warriors, an army of overcomers and intercessors who will come into agreement with Me in this day to call down the high places, to break powers of darkness in the realm of the Spirit, and to usher in the power of My presence to dethrone kings and raise up a standard of righteousness.

Do not let negative thinking or discouragement rule in your heart, for these are tactics of the enemy to blind you to what I am accomplishing in this hour. Speak forth My word. Proclaim the year of the Lord and His favor and do not back down to the assaults of the enemy. Rise up in the Spirit to declare My handiwork. Trust and believe all I have spoken into your heart and life and know without wavering that I am, indeed, ushering your into the full spectrum of My glory.

"The Last Day Commission"

December 23, 2005

Tts 2:11-1 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

My Children,
Lay it all down, all that you strive to accomplish without Me. Allow Me to plan all that concerns you. I would say unto you this day, commit all your ways unto Me. Many of you are still trying in your own power to orchestrate many of your own ways, trying to make your own decisions without consulting Me or waiting for Me to speak. I say lay it all down.

Wait upon Me. For I have a perfect plan for your life, and it is only as you release all unto Me that I can put that plan into being. There is much that I desire for you to do, and for that, I will need your total commitment, patience, and trust. I have ordained that My kingdom spread throughout the Earth and that the knees of all shall bend at My command.

This is the day when those who have been bound shall be released by My Word and My Spirit. I am building My church and it shall rise up out of the ashes to shine forth My Glory. It shall come into alignment with My Spirit and begin to move in tune with My command. Yes, this is the dynamic church I am building in this day, a people unexpected that will take the world by complete surprise, for it shall witness the love of Christ to a dying world. Remember that those who are forgiven much...love much!

My children, there are multitudes around you who are in the valley of decision. These need to be told of My love and My saving grace. I have endued you with My grace which allows My love to shine through you and it shall witness so brightly, that many shall be drawn to you.

Now, I am calling you to go forth into the ever increasing darkness, to warn the multitudes that a time of great tribulation is coming upon the entire world. I would admonish you to tell them to often to seek Me in prayer, and I shall give them instructions on how to escape the horrors that shall come upon the face of all the earth.

O, My people, you will need to be ready to minister to wounded, broken people. Yes, people who have not yet heeded the warning to prepare. As you walk among these unsaved be aware that I am giving you countless opportunities to speak to them for Me. Fear not the faces of those spotted by sin, but see with spirit eyes, each soul in all it's potential as they learn to rely upon Me in these evil days. Therefore, be a light for Me in these dark places, says the Lord. Many, even now, shall come to that light as I am lifted up. It is not to late!

"Good Treasure / Evil Treasure"

December 22, 2005

Mat 12:35-37 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil Man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle Word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

My Children,
It is impossible for a Spirit directed believer to speak anything but goodness, mercy, and righteousness. As impossible as fig trees growing olives. Or vines bearing figs. Or salt and pure water flowing from the same fountain. My word does not say salt and clear water ought not to flow from the same source, it says it is impossible!

There is no such thing as a slip of the tongue. Not a word goes forth innocently. Your words overflow from your hearts. "Out of an abundance of the heart" the mouth speaks! What you say is not accidental, but it is predictable!

When you give yourselves to My Holy Spirit, He will cause you to speak only those words that are from Me. He will remind you of the things I have said; things that are gentle, pure, holy, right, and true. These are the things which are produced of My Spirit. And these things flow from the yielded heart. There will be no struggle, no battle. All it takes is a yielded heart willing to be disciplined by My Holy Spirit.

About Sufferings

December 21, 2005

My Children,
There will be suffering throughout history. And yet every one of you whose names are written in the Book will endure it. ``And many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt. ``And those who are wise, the people of God, shall shine as brightly as the sun's brilliance, and those who turn many to righteousness will glitter like stars forever.

"Holy Encouragement to true witnesses"

December 20, 2005

Hbr 2:9-109 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Jhn 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

My Elect,
I delight in saying to all mankind "Behold Me, Behold My children!" You are My true witnesses, a body of believers who share My burden for a lost world! You have stood against all the taunts of a sinful, jeering, backslidden, apostate church system which continues to indulge sin. You have continued to proclaim that the righteous judgment of a holy God is at the gates! And indeed it is!Yes, you are set to follow Me wholly, with all your hearts, in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation! You are My Holy Army, Says the Lord.

You have known the cost of being My discipleship, the reproach of My cross, the sharing of My suffering, and you know that only a remnant of awakened souls will follow such a straight and narrow path! God alone is your fear and dread! I have surrounded you by a wall of fire, you are bold because you have been purged and have received My Spirit!

You have learned to share in My hate of the hype and shallowness of the religious charlatans and tricksters of this age, because you have beheld the glory of My holy presence! You have learned to hate flesh in My house, in yourselves, in My work, and wherever it rises up, this, because flesh is the enemy of My Spirit.

I fervently love the feet of those who go about preaching glad tidings of grace and reconciliation to all repentant, sin-forsaking sinners. Continue My Children steadfast and unmoveable until I come, for great is your reward in Heaven.

"A CALL TO REPENTANCE"

December 19, 2005

1Sa 28:5-6 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

The Lords says; I am talking to the believers who have learned to love their sins, Your impenitence has calloused your conscience. And now, whenever you try to speak My word, you do so deceitfully.

You have spent your later years feasting on worldliness, and so now you have no fresh word from Me. Soon, you will be unable to proclaim even an old message for your witness will be diminished. While you are with me, you can't even focus to offer up a simple prayer.

Continue in your sinful ways says the Lord; you will indeed hear voices, but none of these voices will be mine, says the Lord. Instead, you will be given over to delusion: "I also will choose your delusions, and will bring your fears upon you; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spake, you did not hear: but you did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not." (Isaiah 66:4).

The Lord Says; at one time you were mighty among My elect, but now you are fallen, eaten up by controlling lusts! You have hardened your neck demanding your own way, now you hear not my words. Yes, you may cover the altar with your tears, crying and groaning, but because you continue to willfully Sin, I warn you, "I won't accept the tears of a hypocrite.

First stop your adulterous treachery!" Repent, I will forgive you your sin, I will restore you. Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly and turn to me again. Unless you do, I will come upon you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief,says the Lord.

"The mandate of God"

December 18, 2005

My Children,
This is the mandate I have upon the lives of those who call themselves by My name, they shall be My disciples and they shall teach and admonish the people in the things of the Lord. They will be filled with the glory of their king and be a light to the lost. They shall be a generation that is open to receive the word with power.

"One Path

December 17, 2005

My Children,
There is but one path and one way to the Father which is in heaven. This is the established path which you shall declare.

Many strive to change My words, some declare they are not so, but I ask you to proclaim these words before My people:

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

"WALK BY FAITH"

December 16, 2005

Hbr 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

My Children,
Walk by faith and not by sight. Do not believe those things you see with your natural eyes. Do not process them with the carnal mind. It is by faith that men of old entered into the promises of God. It is by faith that they regarded their circumstances nothing, void of interfering with promises given.

Do not strive to enter by carnal reasoning, but by faith that tells you your God is bigger than any circumstance. Do not be intimidated by negative reports, for this is the work of the enemy to cause you to give up on promises made, to render them impossible. You know that all things are possible for those who believe, so walk in this truth and do not give room to the enemy.

"I am gathering an army"

December 15,2005

John 11:40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

My People,
My faithfulness reaches to the Heavens and My love transcends all boundaries. I have not given up on any, but I have come to seek and to save that which was lost. Get refocused. Get back into the truth of My word. I gave My life to ransom sinners from the pit of destruction. I died that they might have life and have it more abundantly.

I am not “done” with My promises toward this generation. I have not turned My back on them, but I am gathering an army,” warriors, an army of overcomers and intercessors who will come into agreement with Me in this day to call down the high places, to break powers of darkness in the realm of the Spirit, and to usher in the power of My presence to dethrone kings and raise up a standard of righteousness.

Do not let negative thinking or discouragement rule in your heart, for these are tactics of the enemy to blind you to what I am accomplishing in this hour. Speak forth My word. Proclaim the year of the Lord and His favor and do not back down to the assaults of the enemy. Rise up in the Spirit to declare My handiwork. Trust and believe all I have spoken into your heart and life and know without wavering that I am, indeed, ushering your into the full spectrum of My glory.

What to look for in 2006

"A year of reaping!"

December 14, 2005

1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

My beloved,
Why do you act so surprised to see the rise of false prophets among you? Did I not tell you that evil men, devoid of My Spirit would worm their way in, teaching fables and doctrines of demons? Yes, you have seen many come to the forefront teaching my people a doctrine self- fulfillment instead of self denial. Yes, the time has come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own desires shall they seek teachers, who will tell them what they wish to hear. Having no hope, They chant, let's Eat and drink and be happy...for tomorrow we die! Without hope they live for the moment!

This doctrine has gained popularity among the unregenerate and ignorant, and has caused many to fall away from the truth of My Word. No longer do they trust in their creator. Yes, many of My very own have forgotten My words and forsaken My ways. Many now trust in the arm of the flesh and multitudes have become corrupt believing that human intellect and ingenuity is the way of salvation. ( 2Tim 4:3)

The light that is in them is now darkness and they no longer see, nor do they perceive the ways of God. Blind guides are these, false teachers which daily spread their deceptive doctrines. Ignorant of My ways, those who follow these new capitalist and their way of thinking, will find themselves be pierced through with many sorrows. Fearful mindsets lead to widespread economic anxiety. My Children, those like Esau, those which have pursued the love for self have bargained away their future for a season of self gratification. (2 Tim 3:2-3)

The result, is wide spread emotional distress! This will increase and increase and perilous times will come, just as I have said. Many self proclaimed saviors will fail before the eyes of many. Seeing this, many will lose hope and live lives with diminishing expectations. Yes, multitudes will fall away as they seek to remedy spiritual problems through carnal efforts. (2 Thes. 2:9-12)

No My children, these men will not find solace as they suppose, but will surely suffer the wages of their own folly. (Amos 8:12) (Isaiah 9:20) A whirlwind of reaping is coming to the nations. Yes, one will sow to his flesh and in matter of days, reap destruction. Much reaping shall occur in the coming year. As was prophesied of old, the sower will be overtaken by the reaper. This will happen for good as well as evil.

Even the nations will begin to reap the wages sinful legislation. Financial crisis now loom because murderers and abortionist have slain those who should carry the tax burdens and protect the nations. Legislators seeking the approval of men have left true wisdom and have given birth to economic distresses through their rebellion. Rom 6:23

Many homes have become enslaved financially by following the messengers of mammon. Many parents have sacrificed their homes, giving the raising of their households to the care of strangers and governments in order to maintain their licentious life styles.

Governments believe they can rescue the children from the backward culture of their parents by delivering them into the caring hands of the state. I tell you the truth My children,soon it will all be seen and the result will be a sense of parental powerlessness as a lawless generation springs forth from these absentee parents. Yes, soon political leaders seeking to become social saviors will put forth legal reforms which will place limits and controls on child bearing through economic devices.

Genuine affection will further suffer and erode as whole houses become divided and all human life is devalued. Yes, My people, this is a time of great distress as men begin to reap what they have sown. Emotional distresses will be at an all time high. Many will medicate these distresses and some will seek death as a remedy.

Be not troubled My people, I remind you all, that these things must first come and then I will return to claim those who have remained faithful to me until the end.

"Christmas Gifts From The Lord"

December 13, 2005

2Cr 4:11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

My Children,
I bring to you two gifts... death and life. Death to all lust, sin, ambition, flesh and pride so that your innermost being will overflow with pure, life-giving waters. "The death I've led you into is meant to bring life to those around you. Only a servant who's dead to this world can truly bring Christ's life into his sphere of influence!" Remember when financial problems hit, when physical pain strikes, when your name and character are being defamed, all eyes are on you. Your co-workers, your family members, your brothers and sisters in Christ, even strangers are watching and waiting for your reaction. Beloved, let death finish its work in you! Let it remove everything that hinders the flow of Christ's life out of you to others.

"I am giving you the desires of your heart"

December 12, 2005 Psa 37:4-5 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

My Child,
I am opening doors you did not expect to see opened. I am causing things to work together for your good. Be of good cheer, for I have delivered you from the hands of the enemy, from attempts to stall you. Press forward. Do the work outlined to you. I will give you the strength and stamina needed. Those who try to interfere will be pushed back and the work will be accomplished on schedule, so press in to complete the task. I will be informing you of the next step, so keep your eyes and ears open to My leading.

I have heard your inner most cry for help and I am coming to set things in order, to put things in their rightful place. I will guide and direct your footsteps. You will be moved on into the place of authority I have assigned to you. I will give you direction; I will show you where to put an emphasis. You will be instrumental in affairs to come. You will designate roles. You will give directions. I am giving you the desires of your heart, the ability to do the Father’s will.

"Put your trust in Me to fix your problem. It's never too late for Me to work."

December 10, 2005

Mat 9:23-27 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

Beloved,
Nothing is too "dead," or too far gone, for Me to restore to life. "Put your trust in Me to fix your problem. It's never too late for Me to work." I can restore whatever has seemed dead in your lives with just a single word. Do not sit there wringing your hands and talking about how hopeless things are? I will do the impossible for you, if you will simply believe. I can fix any financial problem, any family crisis, any overwhelming need. I ask you, is there anything to difficult for Me? Be not afraid, only believe!"

"Sovereign Boundaries"

December 9, 2005

Num 20:16-18 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border: Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king's [high] way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders. And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

Beloved,
I have set up boundaries for seas, and rivers, lakes, and cities, and yes, even the nations are given to territories which I have established. I say to you that everything has limits and boundaries concerning this world. Beloved, if you run into walls or boundaries that do not allow entrance, then I say to you, consider who established the boundary. It is by sovereign appointment that your steps are so ordered. Consider this with grace. I still establish the steps of the righteous man. If I allow passage then you may proceed. Conversely, if I stop your progress it also is in your best interest. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning you.

"Who will dine with Me at My table?"

December 8, 2005

Gal 1:11-12 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

My Children,
What can you do or accomplish for My glory when I already have all the glory? Certainly not more exploits that end in splendor and earthly greatness. The one thing I desire above all else for My servants, ministers, and shepherds is communion at My table! Yes, oneness around the heavenly table! A place and time of Spiritual intimacy! A continual coming to Me for food, for strength, for wisdom, for fellowship.

Many of My servants mistakenly get their spiritual joy out of service and not out of communing with Me. Many are doing more and more for a Lord they know less and less about! Yes, many will run themselves ragged; will burn out, will go anywhere on earth, and give their bodies to My work, but will seldom keep the feast! My children, you must be serious about taking your place with Me at My table! In My presence is fullness of Joy!

This generation has a limited revelation of Me because so many of My chosen ones are missing from My table! Yes, their seats are empty! With all the preaching, the praising, the endless talk about Me, few find time to dine with Me, to have a true appreciation for My table! Few know the grandeur and majesty of such a high calling. In My presence, My elect become those who care nothing for the spectacular; the earthly, the things of this world, success, ambition or worldly fame. They will pray, not for things, not for blessings, not to be used, not for anything of self, but only for a fuller revelation of the glory and vastness of their Lord.

Therefore, My Children, I am looking for those who are not satisfied to sift through all the conflicting voices to find a true word. I seek those who will seek a revelation of Me that is all their own -- a very deep personal intimacy. Who will dine with Me at My table?

"What will it take to overcome in these last days?"

December 07, 2005

My Children,
Let me tell you what it is going to take to overcome in these last days. You must stand on every promise, believe every promise, and pray in faith, effectually, fervently, without doubt then wait and rest, trusting Me to do what is right, in My time and My way. Few believers today wait with patience for Me to work in My time. The more it is delayed, the angrier some get. Some finally give up, thinking I won't answer at all.

Can you say with Habakkuk, "...I must wait quietly for the day of distress.... Though the fig tree should not blossom, and there be no fruit on the vines, though the yield of the olive should fail, and the fields produce no food, though the flock should be cut off from the fold, and there be no cattle in the stalls, yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength ... and makes me walk on my high places..." (Habukkuk 3:16-19, NAS)?

"Dive into My Word, Lay hold of your special promise"

December 6, 2005

Psa 72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.

My Child,
You believe you are being pressed beyond measure... tested beyond your endurance. Your strength is nearly gone, and you are on the brink of giving up. You see no way out. You want to run, but there is no place to go. Now you can say with My servant Paul, "This is above my strength!" So, how do you get out of it? What is the way to your victory My child?

I say, dive into My Word, lay hold of your special promise, take it into the secret prayer closet and hold Me to it, says the Lord. Ask Me for good things. I am waiting to give them to you! Ask Me to set you free, to take away all your shame, to remove all the stain of sin. I long to do it for you! But I counsel you, do not doubt!

"I am able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that worketh in you. So, do not lean on your intellect beloved, but acknowledge you are at an end of answers outside of My intervention. Then will I come, then will I guide and direct, and then I will meet every need according to My ability.

Yes. I will be a helper to him who hath no helper, and I will make a way where there exist no way, says the Lord. Therefore, use every piece of My armor to resist the enemy of doubt in this time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. Again, I say, I will come, I will answer and comfort thee, and I will do more than you ask or think.

"Feeding My Sheep"

December 5, 2005

Jhn 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

My Children,
Let your love for Me be such that it will feed My people. Let it feed their hope and their needs. My people need more examples of the totally devoted lovers of Christ upon which they may feed. They feed on the example of holy men and women of God. That kind of love is so radiant it affects them; it feeds something very deep in within them; it feeds their hunger for Me, says the Lord. Your absolute devotion and love for Me creates hope in many who do not know about My love for them. I am the Bread of Life. When you love Me with all that is in you, you are the feeding the multitudes. Yes, he who truly loves you as a brother is the one who loves the Lord with all his heart.In this way you love the lost by loving Me before them and My love in you becomes a beacon of light - a hope - an invitation - a life-giving example.

" Let your Love Light shine before men."

December 4, 2005

My Child,
I would say unto you this day, commit all of your ways unto Me. Allow Me to plan all things which concern you. For as it is written in My Word:

"TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS." (Prov. 3:5,6)

I have so much that I desire for you yet to do, but I need your total commitment. Beloved, there are multitudes in the the valley of decision and multitudes which need to be told of My saving grace. I have endued you with My grace. And My Grace will allow My love to shine through you to those in need. Even those nearest you shall see My love. My love shall draw the hurting, and down cast to you. I will give you countless opportunities to speak to them on My behalf. This is the assignment I give to you this day. Walk in love among the hurting, brokenhearted and wounded. and let your love light shine before these.

"If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?"

December 3, 2005

Gen 4:6-7 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

My Children,
Your sins witnesses against you in your very look. Whatever is in your heart is going to reveal itself in your countenance! On the other hand, even the rankest of sinners can tell when you've "been with Me." How can they tell? You look like no one else to them! They say, "You're different. You carry yourself with a humble assurance. And nothing about you seems hidden. You've got no dark spot in your eyes, no secretiveness. You don't seem to carry any grudges or bitterness. If you did, I'd know it. Your life is an open book! Sin, however, wears a certain look. No smile can cover it up. And its voice has the sound of emptiness -- the echo of a sounding brass, a tinkling cymbal. But for those who have appropriated My glory are being changed every day, their countenance is becoming more and more like that of Jesus! Let your Light shine before men! Keep the spot of sin from your eye!

"Looking Heavenward For Your Answers"

December 2, 2005

Isa 40:28-29 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.

My children,
Because you've been in the battle and because you have come forth every time with purged lives, and strengthened faith and courage to stand...give thanks to the Lord! The fire of affliction purifies; it filters out all dross and leaves the gold. As it is written:"For as much 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. (1 Pet. 4:1).

Oh the sweet taste of victory. It is for this reason I have said "in everything give thanks" and again it is written that "all things work together for your good". Learn to trust Me in the midst of the fire and you will find the rich reward of My presence in every trial. I will protect you, I will provide for you. I will never fail the least of My children.

When you acknowledge your human limitations before Me, I will come in supernatural power to minister to your needs. Many of you delay this blessed event by continuing in your human reasoning and human ability.

When these obstacles are removed and an admission of weakness is declared, it is then that I can come in power and strength and show Myself strong concerning you. Have you not read: "in your weakness I am made strong?" Therefore, accept your limitations and acknowledge your need before Me quickly. Then you will find the meaning of the one that sticketh closer than a brother. You will find Me close as you look heavenward for your answers. Your will find My provision more than adequate to meet every need.

"Yield the thing you covet most and healing will come"

December 1, 2005

Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.

My Child,
You must yield what you covet the most in order to be healed where you hurt the most. The person who covets to be rich and famous can no longer cope with his present condition. His obsession with getting rich makes him despise his poverty. You can never be happy where you are until you surrender what you want the most. The person who feels locked into a loveless, unfulfilling marriage covets freedom. They dream of a spouse who is tender, kind loving. They covet a new life of freedom! They can never be healed of there present hurt until they yield the thing they covet the most. The person who lives only for prosperity and promotion, to be accepted by people, coveting the praises of others, lives in misery! He can never be at peace with himself until he surrenders his spirit of covetousness. The lonely single, living only for the day a love will come along, coveting a mate, will never be healed of loneliness until the thing most wanted is surrendered. The thing you covet is the thing that causes your hurt. Give it up! Lay it down! Make up your mind to do only My will, and healing power will be released into your life!

"To the humble of heart goes the Grace sufficient"

November 30, 2005

Luk 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Beloved,
Popularity and human esteem will not hold up in the Judgment. I am looking for humility, sacrifice, self-emptying, and an abhorrence of all that is of self, less of gathering people around yourselves, and more of pointing them to the Lamb of God. But do not boast of authority you do not have. Your goal is to stay within the boundaries of My plan for you, and this plan includes allowing others to come along side and work there with you to accomplish My will. Then you will be able to go and preach the Good News in other places that are far beyond you, where no one else is working. Dare not compare the work you do with others, for all are important to Me, and all are needed to accomplish My purpose in the earth in these last days, says the Lord. Many who have been filled with pride by their accomplishments are rejected. I tell you it is more beneficial for one to desire to be a voice crying in the wilderness than to assert one's self from the pomp of a cathedral. Yes, to the humble of heart goes the Grace sufficient. Beloved, a man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Blessed is the man who saith; Christ must increase, but I must decrease. This is the man who will run for Me in these last days, saith the Lord.

"Put Away Doubt, I Will Answer Thee!"

November 29, 2005

Isa 49:15-16 "Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for a child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on my hand. Ever before me is a picture of Jerusalem's walls in ruins.

My Children,
I have not forgotten you! I know exactly where you are, what you are going through right now, and I am monitoring every step along your path. Do not sit in darkness, hungry and thirsty, praying for deliverance and comfort. Have faith in My promises, for I have heard your cry and I will answer, I will preserve thee. You shall no longer hunger and thirst. I will have mercy on you and lead you by springs of living water. I will comfort you My people, and have mercy on all the troubled ones. Rejoice in these promises. Trust in the Lord your God, I will see you through!

But you say, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me!" Doubt not oh ye of little faith! You get in a tight place; you get lonely and depressed; you fall into temptation and yield to lust; you make tragic errors and live in guilt and terror; and through it all, you choose to forget all that I have promised you. You have forgotten that you serve a God who laid the very foundations of this earth. You forget that your Father is all powerful, and that all things that exist were made by Me. You see only your problems. Your fears shut out the vision of My power and glory. You get afraid; you panic; you question; you doubt.

I say repent and shake off the lies and the thoughts that I will not answer, that I will fail thee. "Seek ye out the book of the Lord, and read: for not one promise shall fail. For my mouth hath commanded it. So I say, strengthen ye the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you, sorrow and sighing shall flee away." (Isaiah 34:16, 35:3-10).

"A great awakening"

November 28, 2005

Eze 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

My Children,
The wind of the Spirit is blowing! My breath will rattle the gates of hell and send every demon into shock as the spiritual graves open and as those who have been very dry for so long come out of their bondage and become alive to holiness and worship in spirit and truth. My people, Satan could not keep Christ in the grave, he can neither hinder nor stop this great awakening from the dead in My house! Just before judgment falls, I will breathe upon all flesh in even greater power. The remnant will respond, rise, and walk in new resurrection life!

"I have left you with a secret for overcoming the world"

November 27, 2005

Eph 2:5-6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:

My Children,
"You need Me now. You need My supernatural power and strength to live a full, abundant life in this present age. In My earthly ministry, I dwelt among men, but now I give you something better. By My Spirit you will be linked to Me, daily dwelling in My ascended presence. I will bring you to where I am. You will ascend with Me and return to live the ascended life in the flesh." Come by faith and be seated above this world with Me in the heavenlies. Here I have prepared a place for you, a place where you can really enjoy fullness, completeness, total joy and satisfaction. For in My presence is fullness of Joy. My love will dispel all your fears, heal all of your diseases and bring you peace such as you have never known. You say how can I ascend into this Holy place? You cannot ascend into My holy hill until your hands are clean and your heart is pure. Yet I say, Ask, and I will cleanse you, and I will do the work! Praise Me, and I will come and draw you near. Give up the visible for the glory of the invisible. See with Spirit eyes and hear with Spirit ears. I am even now setting up My eternal kingdom. I am purging My remnant and I have left you with a secret for overcoming the world. FAITH! I remind you that faith can see evidence of things not seen. Faith can experience things hoped for. The Bible says, "your conversation is in heaven" (Philippians 3:20). This being the case My servant, you can say with confidence, "I have heard God speak, and I do what I have heard." Come, sit with me in heavenly places!

"Your victory is assured"

November 26, 2005

My Children,
I chose each one of you to be Mine before the beginning of time. My love for you is beyond your comprehension. I know every minute detail of your lives, and, as you give Me the freedom, I will guide you in all things. The enemy is buffeting you, My people, in these the last days, coming against you with all the power at his command. Yet, I say unto you, My power far surpasses his power, and you have access to that power, use it to the fullest. You need not suffer harassment from the enemy for have I not told you...THEREFORE, SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. (James 4:7) Come unto Me, My little children, lay your burdens at My feet and allow Me to carry them for you. Your victory is assured.

"You have fought a good fight"

November 25, 2005

1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Yes, my beloved disciples,
Very soon you will experience a season of refreshing and a season of revival such as you have never known before. Although you have not seen it with your eyes I have already put Satan under your feet. As you return from the battle I realize that you have little strength left, but I say to you, that you have fought a good fight, and you have kept the faith; therefore, saith the Lord, I have reserved for you great rewards in my kingdom.

An Open Door

November 24, 2005

Psa 37:39-40 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

My Children,
Though circumstances do not look good, be confident that I am on the move, that I am not limited by the realm of the natural, that I am capable of that which is not humanly possible. Be encouraged that I have not neglected the details, but that I am putting details in order, arranging things according to My perfect plan. Be content to wait upon My timing and to run according to My timetable.

Hold onto those things revealed to you. Do not shrug them off, but appreciate them and go with the flow. Perfection is coming into play and into place. I am placing you according to My good pleasure. I will cause you to prosper in all things, yes, in all you do. I have not opened doors of opportunity just to close them in your face. They are open to fulfill My purposes. So press in and you will receive the reward coming your way.

God's Last Day Mandate

November 23, 2005

Eze 3:8-9 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.

My Children,
This is the day when I shall come with power to visit those who seek Me wholeheartedly and aren't content with practicing an empty form of godliness. I will come to them and transform them into warriors for My kingdom. They shall become radical in their approach to the cross of Christ. Make no mistake about it, I shall come to these and do great exploits through them, for I am looking for those whose hearts are open and willing to let go of the methods and ways of men and are open to a fresh new revelation of My kingdom. I will visit these with power from on high and they shall be My witnesses to the ends of the Earth

This is the mandate I have upon the lives of those who call themselves by My name, they shall be My disciples and they shall teach and admonish the people in the things of the Lord. They will be filled with the glory of their king and be a light to the lost. They shall once again turn the world upside down, for they shall be a generation that is open to receive the word with power. Keep thy mind upon these things and your faith in My words shall be rewarded.

Change Is Coming Your Way

November 22, 2005

Luk 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

My Children,
This is a time of transition. Yes, change is coming to My Church and everything will appear different. Those who are willing to move on with Me, and enter into this change, will win My favor and rest in My Glory. Yes, I am raising a standard of holiness by which the nations shall be judged. I am giving time for those who are willing to be brought out of the old and into the new.

I have called you out of the old way of doing things My children, and into a fresh new way filled with life and liberty? I have prepared the path on which you shall walk, I am taking you out of meaningless works and placing your feet on the pathway which leads to life everlasting.

Yes, I have done everything to take you out of your grave clothes of religion and deliver you from religious spirits and pretense. Do you not know that I am for you and not against you, says the Lord? For this is a time of great change, a new season, a time to take your seat with Me in Heavenly places. All I ask of you is to lift up your eyes to Me. I will lead you through unfamiliar paths.

But My children, if you are not willing to let go of your past, you cannot enter into this new season, you will remain unchanged and will not taste of the glory I have prepared for you. I am restoring a standard of holiness foreign to your generation. Yet, if there is not repentance and a turning to ME with a whole heart, you will not experience this resurrection life. So choose today to let go of your past and all that would hinder you from flowing with Me, for change is coming your way.

I WILL DESTROY THE ENEMY PLOTS AGAINST YOU

November 21, 2005

Psa 1:1-31 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Beloved,
I will come through for you in areas promised. I will show Myself strong on your behalf. I will give you strength to continue. I am your shepherd, I will lead and guide you in all decisions. I will also give you the desires of your heart.

Though the enemy plots against thee, I will cut him off. I will break his power to manipulate. I will destroy his ability to cause havoc among My people. I shall restore households and put them in order. I will remove the intimidator who continually assaults you My people, and I will drive him far away. You will discern the change. You will see Me move in like a flood to raise up My standard against the enemy.

I have placed you strategically to do My work in the front lines. I have set your face as flint. I will give you the ability to stand against every attack of the enemy and I will guide and direct you into prayer. This is My desire for you, so begin to move out in authority and I will guide you and direct you along the way. Have faith and be confident that I will make a display of My Glory in your midst.

Move Into Your Destiny

November 20, 2005

My Child,
I have destined you to move on and into those things promised. Though you do not see how this is possible, I am moving you on in the call. I have not left you. I am at work to move things into order, to line things up with My will and purpose. Branch out into the aspects of ministry I am opening up to you and move into them full force.

I am in you, and with you... no matter what.

Psa 106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

November 19, 2005

Beloved,
Don't let your situation get into your spirit! Bring it all out before Me. Go into your secret closet and cry out everything before Me. I will deliver you - out of all your misery and all your struggles! How long will you stay up at night worrying? How long will you stagger around in fear, trying to reason your way out of it? I alone can calm your storm. I alone can still those threatening waves. I alone can bring gladness and peace - and lead you into your desired haven.

I am not about to walk out on you. I am in this battle to the end. I am in you, and with you... no matter what.

THE NEXT OUTPOURING

November 18, 2005

Isa 59:19-20 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

Beloved,
The church has not seen the fullness of My Spirit's outpouring, but soon My Spirit shall come upon all flesh and you shall witness people separating themselves completely from the world. This emphasis on separation and purity of heart has already begun among those with ears to hear. The purpose of this last outpouring of My Spirit is to raise a standard against the flood tide of sin, and to sanctify and prepare a people for My return. I remind you I am coming for those without spot or wrinkle.

When the fullness of My Spirit comes upon all flesh, you will see conviction for sin everywhere and in every place. Yes, I will convict the world of sin, judgment, and righteousness. (John 16:7-8) But first, I am going to clean up My church. I am going to pour out My Spirit and there will once again be conviction for sin unlike anything the world has ever witnessed. 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? (1 Pet 4:17)

Beloved, it will touch not only your churches, but your schools, colleges, and everywhere people congregate. The spirit outpoured on all flesh means conviction for sin and a hunger for righteousness, which will come upon all. This prophecy is about to be fulfilled before your very eyes!

Everywhere that men elevate sin, I will cause My prophets to rise with My Word in their mouths. As the world mocks My people, I will give a witness that cannot be denied. A standard will be raised! Media will air programs to mock My people and I will cause the same media to be exposed as mockers. Many will be turned off by secular media and will cease to listen to their harsh treatment of My people.

As My Church rises to it's place of prominence and power, a witness of holiness will go forth and the world will even notice the difference among those who are mine. These will go forth as My witnesses and will publish the Gospel to a global community just as I have said.

Many defiled pulpits will be cleansed and My altars restored. The fires of anointed messengers will be rekindled. You will see great times of prayer as conviction takes My Church to a new level of holiness. This preparation is now being announced and will increase and increase in the coming days and months. These things must first come and then I will return for My bride and will bring judgment upon all who obeyed not the Gospel. (2 Thes. 2:8-12)

Those who know Me best, trust Me most.

November 17, 2005

Hbr 10:22-23 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)

My People,
Throughout all of history, those who have walked with Me became men and women of faith. Yes, if the Church is walking with Me daily, continually communing with Me, the result will be a people full of faith, a true faith that pleases Me. Yet, Some conduct faith seminars, distribute faith materials, quote faith Scriptures...all trying to produce faith. And though it is true, "Faith cometh by hearing, and spiritual hearing by My word (Roman l0: 17), there are those who do not understand that faith is a learning of My ways which transforms both thought and path. You have read that "The letter killeth,"but the Spirit giveth life. However, without intimacy with Me, the letter produces a dead, selfish, demanding emotion that is not faith at all. Faith comes by hearing My Word and learning My ways. Then My people, you will ask according to My will and I will answer you! This intimate walk with Me is missing from most of My Church today. Faith is really knowing who I am. Faith is a walk, not a demand. It is becoming familiar with My glory and majesty. Those who know Me best, trust Me most. I am the Word you read. Therefore, learn My Ways... and you will walk in faith of that which you cannot see, but know exist. FAITH IS!

Beware of letting go too soon.

November 16, 2005

Jam 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

My Child,
So you have prayed? Do not give way to the paralysis of despair because of the seeming unresponsiveness from heaven. Keep asking, Keep seeking, Keep praying, says the Lord. Beware of letting go too soon. You will no doubt recall that I am a rewarder of them that diligently seek Me. Therefore, do not let go of your confidence which has with it great recompense of reward. Remember the servant of Elijah who ran seven times to see if there was any result to Elijah's prayer for rain. I tell you that the diligent seeker will find that which he seeks, that is if he faints not! Remember the woman who ask the unjust judge to rule on her behalf and he would not...but because of her persistence, he gave the woman her request. I tell you, many of My children have given up at the last moment because they do not see an answer coming. I ask you to look again with eyes of faith, the answer is on the way. Yes, even while you are praying the answer is on the way. My little children, you have been justified by faith and now you must live by faith. Not just in times of troubles, but at all times, says the Lord. You may be saying, why should I ask again? I am tired of continually coming back to report just nothing. I tell you that more important is the building of your faith than the answer which is given you. Have you not read; Without faith it is impossible to please God? Spiritual growth is not as much a matter of answered prayers as it is a developed trust that I cannot lie. Faith, My child is accounted unto you as righteousness. Even so, after you have poured yourselves out and been assured that you have succeeded, you must still beware of letting go too soon. For I am at work developing your faith, your trust,and your endurance, says the Lord. Soon your confidence will end in faiths reward. You shall have what you ask!

A great apostasy

November 15, 2005

1Ti 1:18-20 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

My Children,
A great apostasy will occur. Many who once knew Me will fall away from the truth of the gospel they've known. It should be obvious that a "falling away" is already taking place. Many believers today, as well as Christians throughout the world, have grown cold in their love for Me, says the lord. Many have become lukewarm and are succumbing to a spirit of lawlessness. Satan has deceived masses of people by convincing them "God doesn't punish sin!" This very attitude has crept into My church. At one time believer's consciences would have tormented them. But now they reason, "Everybody’s doing it. Why can't I?" They've fallen under a demonic delusion!

My Children, you have read in My Word: The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables [lies]." (2 Timothy 4:3-4) I remind you that it is also written: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ( John3:19-21)

Just prior to My’ return, Satan will bring such an overwhelming flood of seduction, he'll attempt to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. It won't matter how long a Christian has walked with Me; he'll face temptations he’s never had in his life. Even the strongest believer will be tempted to doubt My faithfulness and mistrust My Holy Word.

My People, it does not have to be this way for any of you. I have made a covenant promise to remove all delusion from those who abide in Truth and to give you power over all the power of the evil one, through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

All I ask is that you declare war on spirits of darkness, by saying, "I won't make peace with you, I won't succumb to your temptations or seductions. Yes, put away works of darkness as you submit yourselves to Me, Refuse to give sin a place to dwell. I will come and aid you and deliver you My people. When I hear your prayers for holiness, I'll send you My power and glory from heaven, the devil won't stand a chance! He will flee. For all who remain faithful and allow My Words to abide mightily in them, I tell you, you shall reign with Me, saith the Lord.

"I will be your champion. I will fight for you!"

November 14, 2005

2Cr 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Beloved,
You don't know how blessed you are! Are you poor in spirit? Is it difficult for you to rejoice or even to bring a smile to your face? Do you mourn over your weaknesses? Do you grieve because you feel inadequate, left out, unneeded? Then Beloved, you are blessed indeed! No, You have nothing to be proud about and in that way, you serve Me best. My strength rests in your weakness! It is in times like these that I can use you more readily than all others." Have you not read that God resisteth the proud but giveth grace to the humble.

What a blessing this truly is! I never said, "Blessed are the strong, the happy, the self-sufficient, the forceful." No! I told you blessed are the weak, the reviled, the persecuted, the downcast, yes, those who are considered nothing in the eyes of the world. I am saying to you, "You know you have great need of Me and therefore you are blessed!" I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. "I will be your champion. I will fight for you!" Nobody can touch you because I am your shield. Entrust your life and future into My hands. If you will turn to Me as your only source of fulfillment, I will reward you with more peace, more joy, more completeness than you have ever known!"

The Messenger's One Purpose

November 13, 2005

Hbr 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.

Beloved,
I have called you to one purpose, one goal, one desire, and it is the same desire that all true shepherds must have: to stand before the judgment seat of Christ and present every spiritual child to Me pure, unspotted, holy and righteous, rooted and grounded in the Word. It is to see them stand before My throne with assurance, knowing you have given them the whole counsel of God, that they were not tossed about by every wind of doctrine, not deceived by doctrines of devils, that they came through every test and trial with the Word of God hidden in their hearts! Rejoice and believe O man of God. I am mighty to save!

I WILL RESTORE THE WASTED YEARS

November 12, 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.

Beloved,
Do you not know that I can restore the wasted years for My people if they will fully engage in seeking Me and My will for their lives! I can wipe out all the years of wickedness and restore and rebuild their lives too! Yes, I can add years to anyones calendar, if they will turn to Me with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. The wounds of the past are not incurable, says the Lord. Yes, there is still hope. But time is running out. Tell My people to bring Me those old wounds, worries, and heartaches about their wasted years and let Me free them and restore to them the very years that were taken away. Then, forgetting those things which are behind, they may press on toward the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus!

Promises to the Holy Remnant, Warnings to the False Prophets

November 11, 2005

Mic 3:5 This is what the Lord says to you false prophets: "You are leading my people astray! You promise peace for those who give you food, but you declare war on anyone who refuses to pay you.

Mic 3:6 Now the night will close around you, cutting off all your visions. Darkness will cover you, making it impossible for you to predict the future. The sun will set for you prophets, and your day will come to an end. (NLT)

My Children,
I have seen the error of those who prophesy for money and those who cause My people to err, those who cause My people to continue in sin and who strengthen the arms of the wicked. Yet, shall I cut off the vision of such men and the sun will set for them and their days shall come to an end, says the Lord.

Have faith in God, My Children! You are not alone in the earth! I have always had a remnant, a holy people in the earth. They are not the proud, the self-centered, or the polished, they are those who are considered lame in comparison to the noble and mighty apostate church.

This is a tested people; those who like you, have been in the fires of trial; these include the unknowns, the outcasts of all denominations, and those who raise their voices against corruption in God's house.

These are My people, a people whose hearts beat as one, a people so led by My Spirit that they would be called outcasts by the apostate church. As it is written: ' I will assemble the lame, and gather the outcasts, even those whom I have afflicted. I will make the lame a remnant, and the outcasts a strong nation, and I will reign over them in Mount Zion from now on and forever.' (Micah 4:6,7)

Yes, these are My repentant, those who have risen above worldliness and aspire to heaven." Yes, this is a heavenly minded people, weary of lightness and compromise. A people who yearn for holiness in God's house.

Therefore, I will cause the apostate to be removed from his place, from the midst of My people, says the Lord. These shall be gathered together of men for the burning. But as for you My Children, Cast thy burden upon Me, and I will sustain thee: I will never suffer the righteous to be moved. (Psalm 55:22

The Secret of Reclaiming Spiritual Territory

November 10, 2005

Psa 22:5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

My Children,
It is My will that every believer to be in full control of his or her life through the power and might of the Holy Ghost! (Zec 4:6) My Written Word makes it abundantly clear that your walk is to be ordered by the Lord. (Psalm 37:23) Your life is not under control, how ever, if you are being victimized by a spirit of fear, lust, despondency or depression. Destroy that system of thinking, by My Spirit and your behavior will change. If you are constantly bombarded with feelings of worthlessness or thoughts of giving up! I want you to resist the devil and to reclaim all the territory you've given up to him! (James 4:7) Do not fear, I have given you all power over the power of the adversary. (Luke 10:19) Your victory is a matter of a union with Christ and a knowledge that there is power given unto you. As it is written: Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. (Romans 13:14)

A Revival of Holiness is Coming

November 9, 2005

Mat 3:10-12 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire: Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

My Children,
I am going to sovereignly move upon My church again and awaken it to holiness. I am stirring My chosen now in their inner man. My Spirit is bringing back conviction and wooing believers once again to yearn for spiritual cleansing and deliverance from the powers of sin. Backslidden believers are about to be shaken and convicted by a powerful searching of My Holy Spirit. Judgment is beginning in My house.

Secret sins are about to be exposed everywhere, and many believers are going to be convicted and warned to forsake their sins or they will be judged openly and severely, says the Lord. Ministries are going to see the standard of holiness raised. Many lukewarm ministers will return to Me in fasting and prayer and with tears of godly sorrow and repentance. Those who resist will be cut off in their deadness and apathy. Simultaneously, true ministers of Christ who long for the restoration of holiness in the church, will experience a new call to diligent prayer and a renewed hatred for sin.

You ask Me when? When is this all going to happen? It has already begun. People everywhere are repenting, crying out to Me for a new baptism of love and a cleansing fire in their souls. Sins of covetousness, bitterness, and worldliness are being confessed and forsaken. People are beginning to turn from their wicked ways, and there is now a returning to the old paths of righteousness. Yes, without being forced or coerced, they are beginning to fast and pray. A new vision of My mercy is being imparted to those who cry out for cleansing.

Yes, My children, I am calling for separation and commitment. No more will confession be made without repentance. Sins must be not only confessed, but forsaken. People who claim to be saved, but who play around with adultery and fornication, will be openly exposed! Those who walk down the aisles to "be saved" will no longer get away with just "repeating a simple prayer." No! They will be so convicted of their sins, that they will hate them and forsake them. Yes, judgment has begun in My House, and a revival of holiness is on the way, says the Lord.

"Standing on the edge of your breakthrough."

November 7, 2005

Revelation 2:23b, "All the churches shall know that I am He which searcheth the reins [minds] and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works."

Hbr 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

My Children,
My searchings are not vindictive, but redemptive. My purpose is not to catch you in sin, or condemn you, but rather to prepare you to come into My holy presence as clean, pure vessels. As it is written: "Who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart... he shall receive the blessing from the Lord" (Psalm 24:3-5).

Some of you are on the edge and you have no other option but to fling yourself into My arms! Yet, Some of you have simply resigned yourselves to your situation. This is in reality is no more than fatalism. You have called this trust My children , but it is not trust, it is numbness. Trust is much more than passive resignation! It is active belief in My promises. Hope rises eternal and speaks of a future with greater expectations.

Now is not a time to quit. It is a time to reactivate your faith in My Word. Confess it, meditate upon it, speak it forth in confidence, says the Lord. I have everything under control! Your brokenness is only temporary. Do ye not know that I have power to restore ruins, power that brings a special kind of glory and honor to the faithful in troubled times? It is a holy faith that says, "My God is at work in me! Therefore I will continue steadfast and unmoveable in faith. Now My children, stand and declare: "it is time to rise and rebuild!" You are standing on the edge of your breakthrough.

"A LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN"

November 6, 2005

2Cr 6:17-18 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Beloved,
Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live in harmony? How can Christ and the Devil agree? Beloved I ask you, what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? For you are the temples of the living God! As I is written: ' touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters. I want the world to see the difference between My people, those who love Me and the rest of the unbelieving world. I want My people to be an example of a delivered and victorious people. A people trusting in My mighty arm to deliver them from all harm and evil.

Therefore, I am once again drawing a line between My people and this wicked age, so that this generation can know there is none like Me in all the earth. Yes, beloved, the wicked of this age must have an even greater manifestation of My presence. Nothing else will get their attention. No, nothing else will smite them with conviction for their sins.

Yes, My Holy Spirit has been outpoured, so that all flesh can come under the power of Christ's presence and be convicted of sin, self righteousness, and their judgmental ways! Whatever is mixed with the world can never be of Me. It can never be a channel of My actual presence. I am going to withdraw My presence from every confessed believer who yearns for the pleasures and seductions of this world. (Rev 3:16) Therefore, you must separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with what is unclean, and I will accept you. I will be your father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD MY HOUSE

November 5, 2005

Hbr 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Beloved,
My commands are to be obeyed as soon as they are revealed! No delays, no excuses, no putting them off while you pursue our own interests. The very hour you decide to do what I have commanded, I will again open up the storehouses of heaven and earth! "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts" (Haggai 2:8). "Never again look at the economy. Never again be afraid because the future looks bleak. It's all mine. I will supply all you need!" Consider this, before, you did your own thing, you built for yourself. But now things will change. No more boredom, No more feeling of accomplishing nothing! You're just beginning! From now on I will water your soul with great joy, peace, a sense of total fulfillment. I'm going to give you My strength and life!" I'm going to send My glory down on you! I'm going to give you all my resources and all you have to do is make the commitment to obey and stick to it!" "Build My House, saith the Lord."

HOLY DISSATISFACTION

November 4, 2005

Phl 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ,

Beloved,
Because you have had a new divine nature placed within you by My Spirit, you now find you aren't satisfied with things of this world anymore. Your new nature keeps turning you in My direction, calling upon My name. You long for My touch and you have become quite dissatisfied with fleshly pleasures, leaving them behind as husks.

Beloved, this you have because you been made a partaker of the divine nature, through faith in Christ. A change of your heart brought about a change of your desires as well. Yes, this change made you willing and able to control every other affection.

So it is, that a pure heart longs for Me, wants what I want. Yes, a tender heart beats for My continual caress. Your very life has been altered. Now you long for a higher purpose and deeper understanding of My will. Beloved, know this, that the godly life is the only serene life, and it is now no mystery that you have tasted of the divine and truly hunger and thirst for righteousness. I tell you...you will be filled.

SONS OF PERDITION IN MY TEMPLE

November 3, 2005

1Jo 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1Ti 4:1-2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

My Little Children,
Yes, you are My temple, says the Lord. But for some, another spirit has invaded that temple. My Spirit is gone from them, and lust, pride, covetousness and slander all reign supreme. There is no longer anything pure, holy or divine. A mysterious spirit of lawlessness is now in control! My children, if am not Lord of all, if you do not acknowledge Me in all your ways, then you have opened yourself up to this spirit of the evil one!"

My little ones, if you are serving Me only a portion of the time, then you are denying your full salvation. You aren't serving Me with all your heart, mind, soul and body and you have opened up an inroad for the antichrist spirit to come in!

My little ones, It's not enough to say, "I believe Jesus was God in flesh." Rather, you must say, "Jesus, You are God in me. You have all power and authority over lust and sin. And I yield to You completely!"

How could such a terrible thing happen among My people? At one time I sat on the throne of their hearts, ruling and reigning. I once directed the affairs of their lives and they delighted in My ways. But, many have given an inroad to the spirit of antichrist through compromise, yes, by yielding to desires of the flesh.

Having yielded to the sinful nature, the lawless comes to sit in the temple of their heart ruling over their desires, showing himself to be in absolute control! The evidence of this control comes when the host begins to excuse his sin, he then will begin to attack all that is good, and all that is of God and all that is worshipped of God. The servant spirit is soon replaced with a self exalting spirit. This spirit will attack and accuse everyone and everything that is holy. For the sinful nature is always hostile toward Me, says the Lord.

Remember these words: "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2Th 2:4)

My Children, have you not seen this among you? For a spirit of opposition of all that is holy and all that is good is the evidence that the Anti-Christ has come among you.

Yet, I shall expose this lawless one as My word declares (2Th 2:8) and this is how you shall know them. "They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us." (1Jo 2:19)

This happens because so many have grown careless in their walk. They no longer hunger for righteousness or walk in true holiness. Yet, My people, I want to give you a great defense against the antichrist spirit. Let My words abide in you, Submit yourselves to Me and resist the lawless one's appeals and he will flee from you. Keep My words ever in your heart and I will abide in you and you in Me. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father and you shall have My promise of eternal life.

Watch therefore and pray for the time of My coming is near and I am returning for those who continue steadfast and unmovable to the end, says the Lord.

PUT MY INTEREST FIRST,
"& My Favor will return"

November 2, 2005
Pro 28:20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

My Children,
From the very hour you focus again on building up Christ's body, setting aside all selfish ways, letting Me become your all, you can start looking to see My manifold blessing return. You can literally mark it down! You will know I am favoring you, smiling on you, rejoicing in you! New life and new blessings are yours right now, in Christ! It doesn't take long to clean it all up, My children. Simply acknowledge before Me: "Lord, I have failed you. But I want it out, I want Your blessing!" Call on My cleansing power. I will bring back to you all of My favor, says the Lord. " I urge you to determine in your heart not to look at the past. Become faithful once more, putting My interests first and seeking Me with all your heart. Start work again on the temple of the Holy Ghost. I have promised you: "Mark it down on your calendar - from this day on I'm going to bless you. I'm going to favor you, says the Lord!"

Rebuke your unbelief and Speak to your soul in faith

November 1, 2005

Jam 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

My Children,
Get your eyes off your problems and afflictions, and remind yourself that I am still faithful, and that My compassion and tender love is yours for the taking. Rebuke your unbelief and say to your soul: "Wait just one minute, God is still God! He is still on His throne, hearing and answering my prayer. God is going to act on my behalf and not one minute too soon or too late.

Do you know I am not trying to hurt you My children? I love you. I am overflowing with love toward you; I care about you, Right now, even though you are down and hurting. I am not far off. I see every move you make; I bottle every tear you cry; and yes, I will take quick action and do what must be done, and yes, on time! I am bigger than your problems!

I cannot lie and I am too holy to fail you My people. My promises have not and cannot fail. So quietly wait on Me, says the Lord. I will bring you out, and into a safe place. Until then, I am with you in the darkest hour, you are not alone. I have promised to never leave or forsake you! In your sorrow I will comfort you! Even in death I will not forsake you!"

"Stop Your Crying, I am going to reward your faithfulness."

October 31, 2005

Jer 31:16-17 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

1Cr 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord

Beloved,
Stop Your crying, stop your complaining, I am going to reward you for your faithfulness! Your cries and prayers have not been in vain! All your pain and tears have been for a purpose. You think it's all over. You see only your circumstances, failure, ruin, no results. So you say: ' This is the end.' But I say it is the beginning! I see the reward that I'm about to pour out on you. I have good things in mind for you, wonderful things. So, stop your crying! Allow My Spirit to heal you of all bitterness, anger, rage, before it destroys you! You may see only ruin in your life - but I see restoration! Let Me restore you now from the desolation surrounding you. I have only good things in mind for you, because I am a rewarder of them that diligently seek Me" (Hebrews 11:6).

Cast aside all feelings of defeat - and stand up and fight

October 30, 2005 ( Sheila's 50th Birthday)

Psa 18:31-32 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God? [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

I believe God gave me this word to you for this very day:

My Children,
I am calling you today to get your eyes off all circumstances. Don't judge anything by your present condition. Don't try to figure it all out. Don't let fear cast you down. I will meet you in prayer! I will soon bring forth My word to you - I will not keep you in the dark. I know you're being obedient to Me. Just accept that you're being trained. Throw off your passive, defeated countenance. Cast aside all feelings of defeat - and stand up and fight! I have given you the strength. You just haven't used it! You re not going to hear My voice until you're shut in with Me alone at your Bethel - down on your face before Me, weeping, crying out, "Lord, I'm not letting go until I hear Your voice!" "Come on, fight!" Because I love you, I want you to claim all My blessings. Rise up in faith and lay hold of My promises. Stand up and fight! You have My Strength - use it!

Wake up to your strength

October 29, 2005

2Cr 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

My Children,
Wake up to your strength. Arise in My power. Stir up the gift of the Holy Spirit within you! You were given power over all the power of the enemy. Live no longer victimized by sin, or blinded to the power and strength in you.Claim what is rightfully yours. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? Satan would have you see yourselves like Samson... stripped and shorn of all power and strength because of some past compromise. This is the lie that keeps so many of My children in bondage. They see their lusts leading them about as though they were blind and helpless slaves. Not so says the Lord! "Wake up! Use the strength you have been given! Shake yourself from your weakness and apathy! Remember who I am - remember whose you are, says the Lord! Acknowledge the truth and you will be given power to withdraw yourselves from the snare of the Devil. Yes, Satan will flee. You need not be chained another hour! You have been freed! Now take your freedom! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? ARE YOU GOING TO QUIT? OR ARE YOU GOING TO PUT ON YOUR SWORD?

October 28, 2005

Exd 32:26-29 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who [is] on the LORD'S side? [let him come] unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, [and] go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

My Children,
Who is on the Lord's side? I ask of thee one thing: Will you pick up your sword and take a stand for righteousness in this evil day? Will you take a stand even among fallen family and friends... among all who stand spiritually naked and full of unbelief? Will you consecrate yourselves today, that I may bestow upon you the blessing of My presence and lead you in righteous paths. Then rise up My people and do that which is right in My sight, saith the Lord. Stand up against the trends of the times! Walk before me in true holiness and put away the idols of distraction from before you. I will be found of those who seek Me with a whole heart. I will restore to you a holy fire, and I will give to you a godly inheritance beyond your greatest dreams! Declare your loyalty, says the Lord!

Psa 24:3-5 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

REFINEMENT

October 27, 2005

Dan 11:32-35 He will flatter those who have violated the covenant and win them over to his side. But the people who know their God will be strong and will resist him. "Those who are wise will give instruction to many. But for a time many of these teachers will die by fire and sword, or they will be jailed and robbed. While all these persecutions are going on, a little help will arrive, though many who join them will not be sincere. And some who are wise will fall victim to persecution. In this way, they will be refined and cleansed and made pure until the time of the end, for the appointed time is still to come. (NLT)

My Children,
If you are trying to walk righteously before Me, you are being tested! In fact, the deeper your walk with Me, the more intense your testing will be. A great time of testing is coming upon "those of understanding"! And just who are these people who will be tested? They are the righteous - those who do exploits for Me, who walk with Me and have the wisdom of Christ!

I hear you saying, "Why am I being tested? Why is all this happening to me?" You are "learning Christ" and are "being taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus". This I do for your refinement. All who love the Me are going to go through fiery trials and be purged of all that is not Christ-like, in preparation for My return!

Remember these words: "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may also be glad also with exceeding joy" (1 Peter 4:12-13)

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (1Pet 1:6-7)

In waiting beloved, Faith is worked, in receiving answers it is not! Let him who heareth understand.

WHAT ONE THING DO YOU DESIRE?

October 26, 2005

Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Psa 27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

Beloved,
Too many of My people have curried favor for one another and yet they do not seek after Me with a whole heart. Too long they have satisfied their need for acceptance among those who cannot give them what their hearts truly desire.I say to you, that I seek for those who have an all consuming cry in their heart. I listen for the whole hearted, those who yearn for uninterrupted fellowship with Me.

Yes, I hear My people cry out "something is missing", yet, they are not consumed by an inner longing for this unmet need... "FELLOWSHIP WITH THEIR MAKER"! I know My people are wearied of empty ritual and are drying up on the vine. But for those who hunger and thirst for righteousness they shall be filled.

Yes, My people, you must know that you will only find that which has not been obtained when you lay aside all fascination with worldly pursuits and seek for Me with all of your heart. When your whole heart is consumed by a need to hear from heaven... then will I make Myself known to you.

Man of God, tell My people that I will come and make My abode with them when they seek for Me with all their heart. I will fill their deepest longing and they will at once be changed and satisfied with that which fadeth not away. Tell My people, the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Only in whole hearted devotion will they fully understand. Yes, when My people seek My all, I will provide for them all their need. There is no other way My Children. Why seek another path or lay aside the eternal for that which shall soon pass away, sayeth the Lord? Come! I bid you come quickly! I am ready to speak light into your darkness and life into your lifelessness. Come!

Greater Expectation

October 25, 2005

Rom 14:22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

Beloved,
Have I not seen you through deep waters of affliction over the past years. My Holy Spirit has been so faithful to comfort and heal the hurt for you. Do you not know, I always do what is best for all concerned? As you look back over the years of ministry, do you not recall innumerable tests, trials and times of crushing pain? But through it all, have I not proven faithful, loving, and totally true to all My promises? From the beginning, I have called you to live by faith. You have “prayed in” all your finances and you still do. Never once have I failed to meet all these needs. Now boast only in My faithfulness before My people, as you move forward expecting greater things than you can ask or think. Yes, greater days are ahead, move forward in faith and increase your expectation, says the Lord.
