Good morning,

 

     Set your mind, set your mind on Me, and by set I mean keep it  stayed there.  Every time you keep your mind on Me you will succeed, but every time you allow your mind to take you other places you fail, so set your mind on Me.  Every time that you pray in the Holy Spirit you are setting your mind, setting your mind on heavenly things where you draw your strength.  So I say pray more in the Spirit, and you will find out these things that try to move you away from the stable place.  Those things that try to steal your joy, they will become shadows in your heart, as you set your mind and keep them set on Me.  I will be magnified, and made bigger than anything you face and you will know Me in a greater way.  Set your mind and keep it set on Me.  For every time you move away from the hiding place, or move away from the safety net, you are drawn by the enemy into lies and to those things that are not true, where he tries to make his deceptive things greater.  Magnifying circumstances and situations, and the scenarios that he says over and over again to you, but I say keep your mind set on Me, for there is peace in keeping your mind set on Me.  As you will begin to think only on those things that I have given you in My Word to renew and change your thoughts, you will find yourself amazingly stronger, amazingly keener, ready, and equipped for anything.  Do not look at the circumstances and situations that surround you for they will always try to overwhelm you, but I have given you a hiding place.  Come, come into that place that I have provided for you so that there you might begin to truly know that I Am greater and bigger than anything that you face, for I have already provided a way of escape.  Beyond that I have given you everything that is needed so that you might be able to stand.  Not only stand, but to stand victoriously, so that you might come out more than a conqueror in every situation.  So I say set your mind and keep your mind set on Me and you will begin to see who you really are.  In Me you are greater than the circumstances, greater than the situations, greater than any challenges, greater as long as you keep your mind set on Me.  You are in a class that calls you to be seated above all else!

 

     "For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed." (Is. 50:7)

     "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!" (Is. 26:3)

     "And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]" (Rom. 12:2)

 

Love,

Good morning,

There's a clearer way, there's a clearer path.

 

Philippians 1:6, "Being confident (sure of, to rely on by inward certainty) of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good (useful and beneficial) work (labor, an act or a deed) in you will perform (accomplish it, finish it, bring it to a desirable end) it until the day of Jesus Christ:"

 

Romans 8:28, "And we know that all (every, any, whatsoever, whosoever, the whole) things work together (to put forth power and thereby to assist) for good (useful and beneficial) to them that love God, (to them who are the called (appointed, divinely selected, those who are the saints of God) according to his purpose (a setting forth of a thing, putting God's plan in view)."

 

Then He said look at Isaiah 1:19, it is all connected, all of the good, all of God starting His plan in you, and finishing it, and perfecting that plan is based on this.  

 

Isaiah 1:19 says, "If (dependent on your cooperation, this is in fact your yieldedness, if you have given up, if you have rendered, if you have given to God what's rightfully owed him, if you have relinquished the control to God) ye be willing (yield) and obedient, (hearken to His will, to hear with interest) ye shall eat the good of the land:.

 

     In this I can be glorified says the Lord, but what is needed is your attention to Me.  I know the way, see I have been there many times before for those who would yield to Me, they have experienced My glory, they know Me.  In My glory I mean the light in the dark, the fire that lights up the night, the cloud that leads during the day.  They have experienced My glory because they yielded.  Not many men have known My glory for they have stepped in with their own understanding and circumvented My way, but I say to you this morning, if you would yield, if you would be willing, I can do an awesome thing. You would be stunned and amazed by My glory and you will see that I am God, I am your Father, I am your provider, I am your way-maker, I am your friend, I am your counselor and I am the lover of your soul.  There is nothing that you need that I have not already provided, all I need is a yielded heart so that I can step into your life and be God.  Understand, I will not make you, that is why I have given you the will and that is why I say, if YOU be willing.  I can not make you My children.  My desire is to be known in your life, my desire is to be glorified, that men might come and see who you really are, by the works and deeds that I have done in your life.  Many would begin to glorify Me because I have been lifted up in your life.  If you want this, all it takes is your yieldedness.  I Am not holding back anything, everything belongs to Me.

     There is a Joshua and a Caleb generation, they will separate and pull away from the rest of the crowds, the ones who say there are giants in the land, and that we are not able to go up against these.  Joshua and Caleb were of a different spirit, and I say this morning, those who would have a different spirit who are saying, "yes".  They might not see clearly what I have planned, but they are saying yes to Me and because they are saying yes to Me, I have already made a way.  Some call it a way of escape but it is to bring you to your promise and that is what I did for Joshua and Caleb.  You are not too old, you are not beyond your years, you are not too young, you are not too smart or not too ignorant.  I can do it says the Lord, it is not based on your gender, it is not based on your color, it is not based on anything that man sees.  I can and will do it for those who say yes, and yield to My will.  I am about to do something magnificent in the lives of My Joshua and Caleb spirits, something that has not been recorded.  All generations have waited for this time, to see the glory that would rest upon the Joshua and Caleb's of this age.  Watch and see says the Lord, you will be amazed too.  Some of you will want to get in, so you better get in now says the Lord.  You better step by faith and move away from your feelings, and your thoughts, and your plans and your prescribed ways of doing it.  I Am greater, always greater bringing you to that high place.  Just say yes, that is surrendering, just say yes. Do not stop to reason out what that means.  You say, "What do I have to give up, what do I have to stop thinking about, what do I have to stop feeling, where do I have to stop going", just say yes.  I will take care of all the rest, to those who yield.

 

Love,

 

Pastor D.

Good morning,

 

     Those who stand with their hands stretched out and believing, they shall receive.  They will know Me as a good Father, for I will never forsake you, never leave you.  Even when you are going through the valley do not despair for I Am there, even in the valley to lift you up, to cause you to walk on high mountains.  So do not look at the situations nor the circumstances of life for I Am there with you, and I am there to deliver you to bring you out into a mighty strong land.  This is My promise to those who believe and it will not quit and it will not give up for I will not quit and I will not give up, and My promises are sure to those who believe.  So I say to you, keep on believing, don't quit believing for I Am faithful to watch over My word, every moment to perform it.  I have not forgotten one word that I have spoken over you, it is a yes and an amen.  I have sealed it in heaven, now seal it in your own heart.  I am good!

     The Lord went to the cross, he was brutally beaten, and it looked like he was forsaken, but it lead to the promise being fulfilled.  Even in the midst of whatever you are going through, it may look like I have forsaken you, but know this, I will never forsake you..  In fact I Am bringing you to the perfection, just like I brought My son.  He is the example of how I treat My sons and My daughters, I raise them up from a place of desperation and from the valley, I lift them up from circumstances and situations, so that they will know that it is My glory, My anointing, and they will learn to trust Me, not in the arm of flesh, and they will give Me glory.  I bring the dead back to life just like I did with My son. I resurrect dreams, visions, and purposes.  You are My sons and My daughters, it is a honor, and as you press in to seek My face, I will lift you up from the dead valleys of dry bones, and I will bring fresh new life to you.  If you believe, if you receive, if you stay faithful all the way through.  The promises are to those who remain faithful, who endure says the Lord, and those who endure shall inherit My promises.  Understand this says the Spirit of grace and mercy, it is not given to those who are weak of mind, for I have said if you shall faint not you shall inherit.  So do not faint, do not become weary, but hold your head up and press on says the Lord.  I have made you out of better things than you thought you were, and I will bring you to the fulfillment of My word.

     "So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable." (2 Corin. 4:18)

     "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Gal. 6:9)

     "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:" (Rom. 6:4-5) 

 

Love,

Good morning,

 

     Come into My secret place, it is a place that I have provided for you, a place to run into for safety against the fury of the arrows and darts that are being hurled at you, to try and trip you up and make you stumble.  I will cause My wings to cover you for ultimate protection.  It will cause those darts to be re-directed towards the one who hurls them.  Here is where I heal and make whole all wounds and bruises that you have received, when you did not stay under My covering.  Here I Am reordering your steps, realigning your vision.  I have placed My seal upon you, you will arise from this place stronger and more determined, your strength will amaze you, and astound the enemy for you have pressed past a boundary line that was drawn, that he thought you would never get to.  Now you honor your Covering and your Protector, knowing that there is no weapon formed against you that will prosper.  You are now on the offense against the enemy, instead of always defending your territory, realizing the potent power that rests in you as My child.  A warrior has come forth from the ashes, as you are hidden in the secret place of My love.  You are now wielding the weapons that I have given you.  See, I have brought forth in you My original purpose.  Transformed as you stay and practice being still in the secret place, seeing who you really are.

     "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord." (Is. 54:17)

     "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;" (Ps. 91:4-5)

     "In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will," (Ephes. 1:11)

 

Love,
