Good morning,

 

     Today I was reminded that we are in a war and that we are not be entangled and wrapped up in the affairs of this world!!  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.  And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.  The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.  Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things." (2 Tim. 2:3-7) 

    My dear ones, to be so entangled with the world and all of the entrapments will cause you to be spiritual insensitive, and dull to respond to Me and My Word.  You must be aware of the times and the seasons according to My Word, and be alert to the signs of the times, but not overwhelmed and overcome by the news of today.  I have written to you of the things that must come before that great and notable day.  If you would know and understand My Word, you would know that this is not the time to faint but to look up!  I Am true to My promises, I will come for you!  You can count on Me, I will not leave you in turmoil.  I know how to deliver the godly that continue to live upright and habitually before Me in righteousness.  So be aware and cognizant of everything going on around you, but do not fear, in fact you must rejoice for you know that your redemption draws closer than ever before.  Shine brightly in the midst of darkness, show others that grope in the great darkness that has come upon the earth, that you can see and you know the way out!  Be to this world My city on a hill, that all men may distinguish and know the difference between you and all other deceptive ways that are being offered.  Do not allow the truth to be blurred with the lies that our enemy propagates.  I require you to be bolder in your faith, you must cry loud and spare not.  You must smash the idol gods into mere dust, by living uprightly and holy, but also declaring that you know the Way.  Do not fear their faces nor any perceived danger that may lead you into silence.  I Am with you and I go before you to surround you as a shield!  I will not let My witnesses fail.  I have and will continue to open the doors for you to declare My holiness as the one and only Way.  Many of the voices that I once anointed have become faint and have blended into the voice of the world, because of fear of becoming an outcast and rejected from their places of prominence.  That is why I Am anointing the voices of those out of obscurity and unknown places, those who have no crowds or numbers to weigh or think on.  I Am their majority and they will heed My voice and declare unashamedly and unafraid My Words to a dying and deceived generation.  They will walk in My signs and wonders to demonstrate that I Am with them.  I have always wanted those who would follow Me with their whole heart, no matter the cost.  They will not forget Me, no, I Am first in their heart.  They will obey and do exploits, it will cause many to come and I will gather My own special jewels to Myself.  These are My end-time harvesters, they will help Me gather!  Be bold, My dear ones, your Redeemer will not forget your labor of love.  Do not faint, but be renewed in your faith.  I will come for you! 

   "If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning." (2 Peter 2:20)

     "And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked, (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:" (2 Peter 2:7-9) 

     "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28)

Good morning,

     I was going to look and find a prophetic word from a previous service that was more of an alarm, or a wake up call to all that call on the name of Jesus.  I looked and it was not recorded, I was going to call it quits, but God would not let me. 

     This is the verse I heard in my heart; "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." (Is. 58:1)  My people have gathered to themselves teachers, because they have itching ears, they desire to have their flesh tickled and their senses pleased.  They would be lulled to sleep during a time that they need to be wide awake, and more alert than they have ever been before in their lifetime since knowing Me.  The enemy is hard at work deceiving them into desiring what others have in their life.  They think that what they are looking at is what I want, but they only are seeing a refracted and a distorted picture.  My people have been lusting for temporary pleasures which will leave them empty and void of Me.  Yet, I have sent many strong watchmen to cry aloud and spare not, but they will not bare or tolerate them.  They want the popular and those whose words flow like butter, causing them to slip by on lies and shallow promises, which are not what your attention should be fixed on.  You have become heavy of heart because you thought My words of warnings, and the sounds of alarm was what was making you feel weighted down and oppressed.  It was  because you were looking with longing after the fake and the impure that defiled your thoughts and made your heart heavy.  If you will not endure the warning signs that I send to divert you from falling into a deep dark cavern of true despair, you will finally wake up to your dismay and see that My prophets, My teachers, My pastors, My apostles, and My evangelists were sent to save and deliver you from the impending doom.  I have made My true gifts to you strong, so that they would not bend to your flighty ways of thinking, since you are easily moved by the popular, the secular church of this age, the church that bears My name, but not My words for this hour.  I said that in the last days there would be many that would come to deceive and lead many astray, because of the lust that was in their hearts.  All the signs of the perilous times are here, men are lovers of themselves, traitors, unholy, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of Me, despisers of good, selfish, but more importantly they have a power of godliness, but deny My power.  Open your eyes, wipe away the sleep.  Wake up, the alarm has sounded.  Do not be like the five foolish virgins, be wise.  I have fully equipped you, so that you would rise up and take your place as My mighty people to be a guide to the blind.  Do not allow yourself to be pulled into any desire to emulate the world!  My people are uniquely different, and should be glad to be so, you are to imitate Me, a higher reflection.  You have been called for such a time as this.  Arise, anoint your eyes with My oil, be refreshed!  You are not of this world!  Do not assimilate, stay My peculiar people!  Stay ready, stay alert, and stay strong in My might.  Keep the alarm sounding!

 

     "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2 Tim. 3:1-5)

     "Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken." (Jer. 617) 

     "Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is." (Ephes. 5:14-17)

 

Love,

Good Morning,

     There is nothing too difficult for Me.  You count your problem bigger than Me, but I Am greater!  I Am greater because I hold all the answers, and I have the key.  I will release the answers into your life, insight, wisdom, understanding, and ability.  It shall be yours, and there will be no demon standing before you because the greater One that abides and lives on the inside of you.  I Am rising up to the forefront in your life because you are keeping your eyes stayed on Me, you are keeping your mind stayed on Me, and then perfect peace, My peace that causes you to rise up and become a mighty warrior throughout the land.

     Do you not understand the season that we are in?  It is the time to regroup, it is the time to recalculate, it is the time to restore.  So I Am taking everything back that has been stolen from you, and I Am giving you another opportunity to go forth and advance in the kingdom.  You will align yourself with Me to take back everything by force that the enemy has taken from you.  You will stand and declare that you serve the greater One, and you are not afraid of any power that he has.  But greater power and authority I have given you to tread over every enemy and everything that would try to attach itself to your mind, your heart, and your body.  I say to you this day, you are free, freer than you will ever know.  Free, freer than you will ever know!  And so I say stand, stand fast, and act like someone who has been set free and see the chains that have been trying to wrap themselves against you, once again fall at your feet.  Declare your freedom in Me, and then begin to advance into the enemies territory and take back lives.  Act like brave and strong Ones, the victors that you are.  Awake your soul up to My voice and My way.  I am more concerned about souls than I am about your temporary pleasures.  Take back lives that the enemy has stolen!  For that is My desire, to seek and to save, line up with Me, seeking and saving, and you shall see the greater One do warfare for the souls of the people you know, and in your nation.  This is your kingdom, this is your territory, this is your land, and I say to you get your mind onto the eternal kingdom of souls, and I will fill your very heart desires.  You will find your heart being filled with My desire, as we become One.

     "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matt. 6:33)

     "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10)

     "You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah [pause, and think of that]! For You send blessings of good things to meet him; You set a crown of pure gold on his head." (Ps. 21:2-3)

Good morning,

     In a vision I keep seeing a steak cooking.  The Spirit says; the natural inclination is to cut off the fat before the steak has begun to cook, so many try to do the same spiritually.  But as you begin to offer your lives on the altar, I leave the fat on, I leave and "let" the troubles, the trials, and the things that make you tender towards Me.  All of those things that you would cut away, those are the things that I allow in your life to make you tender.  Those very things that you would cut away are the very things that I use to cause you to draw closer to Me, to cause you to seek Me, to make you stand regardless.  So that once you have gone through the difficult times, your faith will arise, and you will let nothing deter your heart from Me any longer.  These are some of the things that I use, says the Lord, I use those things to build your God-character, the man and the woman that will be like Me.  So, even though you pray, and yes you should pray and come against every temptation, every trial, every test, but know that I am using some of these to cause you to grow up, to cause you to have a tender heart towards Me, to develop great endurance and patience with joy.  To develop ears to hear Me and know Me, to be sensitive towards Me.  Be discerning and know that even as you stand against the attacks of the enemy, know the things that he means for your harm, I turn and use them for your good and growth.  Be wise and understand that at the right time when your heart is very tender, I cut those things away, little by little so that you will be tender towards Me and Me alone and. You will have the season of your Father God throughout your very life.  This is My plan and this is My desire for you.  Never forget that everything that has come across your life, has been noted by Me, so if you will let Me, I will use it to make you tender, to make you more flavorful, to make your more seasoned like Me.  It is My plan and it is My purpose, though the enemy means those things to destroy you, I turn them to your good!

     "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you.  We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." (Col. 1:9-12)

     "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." (Eccles. 3:11)

Good morning,

     Do not weary yourself about the plans of the wicked one.  Do not fret about what he is doing, and what he is saying.  Do not fret about who he is using or who he plans to try to operate through, to attempt to come against you, for their plans will come to nothing in your life.  All of those schemes and plans will backfire and the pit they dug for you they will fall in themselves.  For I Am a shield of faith around about you, and I will prosper every step that you take.  For I Am for you!  I go ahead of you, and I Am a shield behind you, so that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.  I Am you way, your God, your Father, and the lover of your soul.  I have made the way for you to come cross the finish line with great grace and glory.  I will crown you for all your effort, and will cause your plans to succeed, because you put me first in your life.  I will prosper you far greater than financial prosperity, you will prosper in your mind, your will, and your emotions.  You will be one with Me.  Even the things that you thought that you could not do, but you did them anyway, out of obedience and love for Me, there is a great reward for you.  Everything that you have done for the Kingdom carries a great recompense.  I Am always along beside you, for I Am your helper, and I Am your shield and I Am the one who lifts you up when others cast you down.  I Am faithful to My Word and to My promises, and I will fulfill them.  Yes, even the plans that right now you think are crooked, I Am straightening out the crooked paths.  I will make it straight and plain, if you would only give Me your attention, and your time.  When you do says the Lord, I will speak to you in the quiet places, and you will know My voice.  I will reveal to you some higher thoughts and plans, and calm your spirit and your heart, and cause you to see the way that I have chosen for you. It is a good way.  Even though sometimes it seems that it is packed with briers and thickets, and those things that poke at you, and things that tear at your heart, I have shielded you so that nothing but good would come out of you.  I Am caring for you, says the Lord, and I Am faithful, and I will bring you to that good end.  I will never, never leave you as long as you stay faithful to Me, I will stay faithful to you, for this is our covenant agreement and I will hold you all the way to the end.  I will shield you and protect you from every dart of the wicked one and even those that you think slipped through and touched you, it is not anything that the enemy planned, he can not succeed concerning you in My arms.  All that has been allowed, I have allowed for I Am perfecting you, and turning you into a sharp threshing instrument that the enemy can never stand up against.  So, never be weary, says the Lord, for I Am always by your side, and I will do exactly as I have spoken to you in times past, for I Am your past, your present, and your future, and I will perform My Word, My faithful one!

     "Have you not known? Have you not heard?  The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound]." (Is. 40:28-29)

     "A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich [at any cost] shall not go unpunished." (Pro. 28:20)

     "Do not, therefore, fling away your  fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. (Heb. 10:35)
