1/22/11 Saturday
The dates from September 20th through November 20th are very
significant. The 10 days after November 20th will bring massive changes and explosive
growth in the kingdom. Watch for them. Expect great things! Begin
praying NOW! From September 20th through November 20th there shall be great
shaking and pressure, but don't be concerned for it shall be as the birth pangs of a great awakening.
Expect a whirlwind in the natural and supernatural that shall "shake up things" and bring new positioning
and PROMOTION! A huge transfer of wealth shall take place. The seeds that were sown
in faith many years ago and have been forgotten shall supernaturally sprout and flourish into an unexpected provision for
the work that I have ordained. "One small step for a man. One giant step for the
kingdom." Seemly small things done in obedience to the Spirit's prompting shall produce a greatly
multiplied effect. Many shall gather together with you. They shall have like minds and
hearts as you. The small, humble beginning that has caused you to become discouraged at times shall transform
into a great movement. The cries that you have made to Me in secret shall find an open reply.
Your faithful labor, though meager, shall bring a great reward. The vision given long ago shall
finally be manifested, but with amazing results. Allow Me to expand your dreams and imagination.
You have been aiming too low. Raise your sights and expectations. I have great
plans and you have not allowed yourself to hope for them. Don't disqualify yourself in your own estimation
of your abilities and frailties. It's not about you becoming qualified. I am the one
who decides who is qualified or not qualified. Don't consider "the thorn in the flesh."
It’s all My strength, not your weakness. Stop wondering, "When?" Begin
to say, "It's NOW!" Let Me fill your mind with My plans. Don't scoff at them
saying, "That can't happen." Your past experience does not predict the future when you're dealing
with a miracle working God! Let me demonstrate My power. Just speak forth what My Spirit
is telling you and I'll take care of the rest! The results will be astounding and your faith and confidence
will take off as a rocket. Watch for and expect opportunities for you to stretch your faith.
Ask and believe for eyes to see in the supernatural. It's time to move from "the sweat of the
brow" to the "voice of authority." Take your eyes off of circumstances and world events
and set them upon Me and My kingdom. Stop being a spectator in this present world and become a participant
in My great unfolding plan for the ages! NOW is the time to "leave and cleave." Do
it now before the times get ugly. Become fixed and secure in your TRIED faith. You will
need to become equipped for the coming days. Others are watching and depending upon you. I
have confidence in you because I have seen the future and I know the plans that I have for you. September
will be here before you know it! Hop upon the wings of My Spirit and enjoy the ride!
Ps 57: 3 (KJV) He shall send from
heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
Ps
5:7 (KJV) But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and
in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
11/15/10 Tuesday
Trumpets, horses and clamoring
in the streets. Rage, shouting and violence. Turmoil and strife. Great
distress and perplexity. Loathing and gnashing of teeth. Fortunes lost and dreams dashed.
Anger and clenched teeth. In a moment everything changed forever. The fabric
of society torn and law enforcement strained. Waves crashing and ships tossed about. YET!
Above the fray and beyond the strife and violence, My remnant is safe and secure in the cleft of the Rock.
Indeed, they pass in the midst with not a hair singed from the fire. They have heeded My Words and
have come into the Ark of My safety. No lack or anxiety shall be found among them. Before
that season of sorrows there is a season of gathering and harvesting. They who are wise shall lay up their
treasure in heaven. Now is the time to draw from the treasure of My Word within you and become the "city
on a hill." The fields are white unto harvest. The night approaches.
Extraordinary opportunities await you to manifest My Love, presence and power. If you will only
believe, then I shall quickly confirm My Words with signs and wonders. You have hidden My Words within
you and they have found a home. You have cherished them as love letters from your Beloved.
Now they have become the bedrock of a firm foundation that supports your faith and nourishes your hopes.
Don't stand by while My Spirit is moving upon all flesh. I have placed an open door before you,
which no man can shut. It is a door of opportunity that wasn't there before. Don't allow
your mind to argue and disqualify you when I say that you are ready. I will never lead you into a place
that you aren't prepared for. Trust Me for the miraculous. Believe and expect that I
AM ordering your steps. Know the difference between faith and presumption. Expect your
ministry to take a giant step forward. You shall hear a "call from Macedonia" soon.
It's time to expand your boundaries. You have been faithful over little; now expect to be given
much. Don't give thought to how I shall provide. You have been faithful in your giving
without thought of a harvest. Now, I shall bring an unexpected harvest. You shall also
reap a spiritual harvest from your patient labor in My garden. Bread and wine, abundance and plenty.
It's the season of Thanksgiving and celebration. I haven't forgotten your birthday.
Ask Me for great things and I shall surprise you with uncommon favor. It is My great pleasure to
give you My kingdom!
Jas 1:17 (AMP)
Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of
all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning
[as in an eclipse].
2 Tim 2:15 (AMP) Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself
to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly
handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.
Mt 13:52 (AMP) He said
to them, Therefore every teacher and interpreter of the Sacred Writings who has been instructed about and trained
for the kingdom of heaven and has become a disciple is like a householder who brings forth out of his storehouse
treasure that is new and [treasure that is] old [the fresh as well as the familiar].
Mt 12:35 (KJV) 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.
Pr 16:20-24 (AMP) 20
He who deals wisely and heeds [God's] word and counsel shall find good, and whoever leans on, trusts in, and is confident
in the Lord — happy, blessed, and fortunate is he. 21 The wise in heart are called prudent,
understanding, and knowing, and winsome speech increases learning [in both speaker and listener]. 22
Understanding is a wellspring of life to those who have it, but to give instruction to fools is
folly. 23 The mind of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning and persuasiveness to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body. Pr 18:4 (AMP) The words of a [discreet and wise] man's mouth are like deep waters [plenteous and difficult to fathom], and
the fountain of skillful and godly Wisdom is like a gushing stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving]
Pr 22:17-19 (RSV) 17 Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and
apply your mind to my knowledge; 18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all
of them are ready on your lips. 19 That your trust may be in the LORD, I have made them known
to you today, even to you.
2 Cor 4:6-7 (KJV) 6 For God Who said, Let light shine out
of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty
and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the
Messiah). 7 However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel]
in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and
not from ourselves. Rev 3:8 (AMP) I know your [record of] works and what you are doing. See! I
have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet
you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name.
Jn 15:1-7 (RSV) 1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2
Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that
it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. 4
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the
vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides
in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6
If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown
into the fire and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in
you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified,
that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
9/29/10 Thursday
Woe to you, Oh mighty king. Woe to you who
profane My everlasting covenant. Your cunning and deceit has brought you ruin. Your
reign has brought you shame and humiliation. You have committed that which is an abomination before Me.
You think that, by your charm and intellect, you have gained your lofty position. Do you not realize,
Oh king, that I am the King of Kings? I have the power to raise up whom I choose and I have the power to
cast down whomever I choose. You are but an instrument of My choosing. Because you have
sown strife among your people, your kingdom is divided and your influence is drained. I shall shake your
kingdom, from the bottom even to your palace. I shall strip away the veil of deceit. You
shall know that I am the Lord. Your knee shall bow before Me. I have heard the cry of
My righteous remnant. Their pleading has come before Me. I shall cause a mighty shaking
in the halls of government. Wickedness and unrighteousness shall be exposed. I shall
turn the great nation in a moment. There are voices crying in the wilderness. My prophets
declare with a loud shout, "Make straight the way of the Lord!" A sound goes before them.
It is the clarion call of tumultuous times approaching. Though I shake YOUR kingdom, yet MY kingdom
remains unshakable. Those of My righteous remnant have washed their robes and they cherish My Word.
I shall shelter them with My wings. No harm shall come neigh them, for they have come under the
shelter of the Most High God. Their ears hear their Shepherd and they cloister within the fold.
Ravenous wolves are everywhere. The celebrated media have sown to the wind and a harvest of the
whirlwind has brought havoc to the moral fiber of the culture. Those things that would have been a reproach
in past generations have become acceptable and ordinary in the society. Those who do things, which I have
clearly declared an abomination, have become emboldened and their shouts and influence have gained them acceptance at all
levels. There is vexation and frustration, as the "church" seems powerless to withstand the constant
onslaught against simple morality. Greed has become rampant and those in power have winked their eyes as
they allow wicked cronies to fill their pockets. Oh king, where is your dream now? You
have given the people false hope and your "change" has brought calamity and chaos. Yet My heart
is still toward My remnant, and for their sake, I shall preserve this nation. But I shall no longer permit
the reprehensible acts to go unanswered. The stench has come before My nostrils. I shall
lift My veil of protection that My judgment may fall at the hands of raging infidels and natural calamities. You,
Oh king, shall have terror in the night season. I WILL be honored in your lofty palace. As
Nebuchadnezzar dreamed, so shall you. You shall know that I am the Lord. A mighty awakening
is coming. The flames have already begun. They are a harbinger of a raging fire on the
horizon. At the time of gross wickedness, My righteousness shall be proclaimed by holy voices and signs
and wonders. Life shall swallow up the culture of death. You shall see, O king, that
it is not the government that rules this land. It is the Lord of hosts! Now comes the
turn that so many have longed for. Their hearts shall not be shaken by havoc and calamity for they hold
onto a Sure Anchor in the storm. Watch, O king, as My mighty hand moves before you!
Heb 12:25-29 (KJV) 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not
who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I
shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more,
signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken
may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let
us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For
our God is a consuming fire.
2/23/11 Wednesday
Lift up your eyes. Do you not see the clouds gathering far away in the distance? Do
you not sense the storm approaching? Even now on the distant horizon there are signs of turmoil, chaos
and war approaching. The earth tremors with the rumbling of strife and great shaking. Don't
think that this is coming only in foreign lands. You will see it on your own native land. You
are looking forward to spring and the promise of better days, but the harvest season shall be bitter sweet - bitter
grapes that have come from evil men, and then a sweet harvest from Me. Do you not understand that the year
2011 speaks of "transition?" This is the year when everyone will have to "show the cards
in their hands." Will they have a "winning hand" or will they loose the game?
This "game" of life is not a game! It's life or death! Too many people
have made up their own set of rules to suit their own way of thinking. What a rude awakening when their
"cards" have no power against the raging turmoil that is coming, not to mention the eternal judgement!
The law of "seed time and harvest" shall surely come to pass. Now is the time to evaluate
what you have sown! Not only that, but have you cooperated with Me so that We may cultivate the kind of
fruit that will remain? This is SERIOUS BUSINESS! I am giving this warning:
My Words will not return to Me void! Take heed to the prophetic voices. They
are shouting the clarion call to repentance! They are pointing the way to Life. Do not
place your trust in a faulty, casual understanding of My Word. Hirelings have twisted My plain Truth for
their own unrighteous gain. Millions have swallowed their lies and perdition awaits them. The
upheaval that shall come in the Fall shall shake away the chaff from My threshing floor! Woe to them who
stubbornly will not listen to My Spirit's call today. Even greater woe to them who scoff at His calling
and persuade others to turn a deft ear to Him! These are not words that are made up by a man!
I AM SPEAKING AS PLAIN AS DAY! Those who heed My warning, repent of their ways and earnestly long
for Me shall be filled with My righteousness and truly become My sheep. I shall gather them into the fold
and they shall learn the Truth. They shall redeem the days for they shall see that the days ahead are filled
with evil. They shall forsake the world and cleave to Me. I shall give them leaders
to watch over them who truly have the Shepherd's heart. Let My Spirit fill you with My Wisdom so that you
may understand the signs and turn others from their wayward ways. Consider the eagle who soars far above
the storm and rush to Me so that you too may soar to great heights.
Heb 11:5-6 (KJV) 5 By faith Enoch was translated that
he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony,
that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for
he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Gen 5:24 (AMP) And Enoch
walked [in habitual fellowship] with God; and he was not, for God took him [home with Him]. Am 3:3 (KJV) Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
2 Cor 6:14-18; 7:1 (KJV) 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together
with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an
infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are
the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And
will be a Father to you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 7:1 Having
therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God.
Eph 5:30-32 (KJV) 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of
his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall
be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great
mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Mt 19:4-6 (KJV) 4 And he answered and said to them, Have ye not read,
that he who made them, at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said,
For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath joined together,
let not man put asunder.
1 Cor 6:15-17 (KJV) 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?
shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. 16
What? know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
1 Cor 6:19-20 (KJV) 19 What? know ye not that your body
is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Jas 4: 4-10 (AMP) 4
You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow
to God]! Do you not know that being the world's friend is being God's enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world
takes his stand as an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose
that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a
jealous love? 6 But He gives us more and more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil
tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually]
to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it.) 7 So be subject to God. Resist the devil
[stand firm against him], and he will flee from you. 8 Come close to God and He will come close
to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals
with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery]. 9 [As you draw near
to God] be deeply penitent and grieve, even weep [over your disloyalty]. Let your laughter be turned to grief and your mirth
to dejection and heartfelt shame [for your sins]. 10 Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant]
in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant].
3/08/11 Tuesday
Take inventory of how much your mind dwells
on Me and the things above and how much it dwells on the things below. Let's be honest. If
you want your life to become more like Me, then you must surrender it to Me. Oh yes, I know that there
have been times when you have surrendered, but how fleeting they became when the pull of other things drew you away.
I'm not expecting you to become a hermit, but I DO expect you to allow Me to live through you! Isn't
it curious how easily your mind imagines all kinds of things EXCEPT for the things of God? How easily you
allow fear and doubt to paint vivid images in your mind of bad outcomes to the circumstances you face, and there's always
"Job's friends" nearby to "help you." Evil desires lie in the shadows of your flesh
waiting for a weak moment to spew vile suggestions into your mind and spawn vain imaginations. This is
the bane of the young Christian as well as many of those long down the road. The downfall comes when an
evil thought springs to life in your imagination and becomes sin. This is why you must take these thoughts
captive and not allow your imagination to run wild. The same is true of fear and doubt. Your
imagination is a wonderful thing that I created in you. With it you are able to see what MIGHT be, as well
as remember what HAS been. Your imagination and mind became corrupted by sin and need to be renewed by
My Spirit. When they are renewed then you are truly transformed - formed into My image. Your
mind and imagination MUST be surrendered and set apart for Me. They must be sanctified. Imagination
has become a byword for foolishness. It has earned its reputation by a lifetime of running its own course,
driven by an unregenerated mind. Even after being "born again," it still must be disciplined.
My original purpose was (and still is) for you to "see" the things that you speak as you "call the things
that are not as though they are." Your spirit hears My Spirit and the "eyes of your understanding"
are enlightened. You need a holy imagination in order to fix your mind upon what your spirit is saying.
Then your heart believes and My love gives you confidence and assurance. Don't allow your own reasoning,
or the unbelief of others to rob you of this precious gift. It's not just "make believe" or "play
acting." Sure, "make believe" and "play acting" happen, but I am calling you to
a new dimension of believing. It's not really new, just the application is new. You
use your imagination when I show you things in dreams and visions. You wouldn't doubt that those avenues
are real. Now allow Me to fill your imagination with the plans that I have for you. Your
imagination can allow you to believe for things from Me that your logical mind would discard. Surrender
it now! Sanctify it. Consecrate it now! Believe that I will renew
your mind and imagination and transform you into a new creature, one that embraces My thoughts and plans. It's
time to tear down the image of yourself that you have created in your mind and embrace the image that I have of you.
Let the light of My Truth shine into your understanding and form you into My image for your life. Your
future will become your present.
2 Cor 10:5 (KJV) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth
itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Rom 1:21 (KJV)
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in
their
imaginations, and
their foolish heart was darkened.
1 Chr 29:18 (KJV) O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep
this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
Rom 8:5-9 (RSV) 5
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but
those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 To
set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For
the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, indeed it cannot; 8 and
those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit,
if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Gal 5:19-25 (RSV) 19 Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication,
impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness,
dissension, party spirit, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned
you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness,
self-control; against such there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the
Spirit. 26 Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.
Gen 3:4-6 (RSV) 4 But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not
die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil." 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that
it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she
also gave some to her husband, and he ate.
Eph 4:26-27 (AMP) 26
When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until
the sun goes down. 27 Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him].
Col 3:1-17 (KJV) 1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand
of God. 2 Set your
minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have
died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you
also will appear with him in glory. 5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication,
impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the
wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you once walked, when you lived in them. 8 But
now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth.9 Do not lie
to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices.10 and
have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11
Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scyth'ian, slave, free man, but
Christ is all, and in all.12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness,
lowliness, meekness, and patience, 13 forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint
against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.14 And
above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.15 And let the
peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.16 Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.17 And whatever you do,
in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Eph 1:19 (KJV) 19 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may
know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the
exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.

The time of peace is the time for building.
When the hurricane is approaching people scurry about. They board up windows and fasten down anything
that might be blown away. That's not building. That's securing what has already been
built. Remember the man who built upon sand. His house was lost because he had not built
upon a firm foundation. It didn't matter how well he secured his house. The house could
not stand in the storm because his FOUNDATION was faulty. During times of calm, it looked as good as the
house built upon the rock, but the storm revealed what sort of foundation had been laid. So too shall the
soon approaching waves of judgment reveal where people have placed their faith and trust. Countless many
shall be struck with terror, but those who have heeded My Words of warning shall not be shaken or moved. NOW
is the time to complete the building. NOW is the time to make your foundation sure. Have
you trusted in the assurance of men who don't have a good foundation? Now is the time to make sure that
those who labor among you are truly bringing the Word of Life. Even though the hustle and bustle of life
demands your attention, now is the time to give priority to completing the house. How can anyone believe
that their faith will stand in the storm if they have given scant attention to nurturing it beforehand? It
is not "faith" built upon "head knowledge" that will stand. It’s faith that has
been tried and passed through the test of fire that will remain. That means that you MUST depend upon Me
during times of relative calm when the testing doesn't have life or death consequences. Look at your foundation.
Has it already stood the test? Do you have an assurance based upon times where I have truly brought
you through? Faith works through My Love. It is one thing to bask in My presence and
Love. It is quite another thing to KNOW My Love because of trials and testings. Even
in the times of failure, My Love comes in the form of My mercy. He who has been forgiven much loves much.
You must war against the things that would draw you away from My Love. Don't be enticed by the allure
of other things or the whispering of the enemy. Keep YOURSELF in My Love! YOU must guard
yourself. Yes, I will keep you, but you can CHOOSE to walk away. Put a guard upon your
thoughts as well as the words of your lips. This is not a message that makes you want to shout, but it
will save your soul. The point is that there is a limited amount of time for you to grow up.
After that you may be old, but you will be immature as well if you refuse My correction, and squander the precious
time that you have now. No matter what your present circumstances are, you still can give me praise for
the very breath of life that you enjoy. There are others who are suffering incredibly for their faith even
as I speak. But you say, "How can I do it? How can I keep myself in Your Love?"
The answer is found in you own behavior. The things that you really enjoy are the things that you
find it quite easy to make time for them in your life. Those things that you dislike and find to be drudgery
are shoved back on your schedule or even ignored. Am I telling the truth? It’s
a simple law of life: That which you focus upon and cherish shall increase. That which
you ignore shall become less and less in your life. This law works in all spheres: business,
social, personal and spiritual. It can work to make your life great or it can make you miserable.
The choice is up to you. So how does this pertain to keeping yourself in My Love? The
problem is not in the DOING. The problem is found in the value that you place on the desired outcome.
To put it bluntly, just how much do you REALLY love Me? Remember the "pearl of great price"
and the “treasure buried in a field?” What would you be willing to pay for a life completely
filled with Me? Don't get Me wrong. I'm not about to bargain with you. I
have already stated the cost for the resurrected life: EVERYTHING! The problem is that you believe that
the price is negotiable! O sure, you don't come right out and say it, but "your actions speak louder
than your words." If you really had your eyes opened and you actually saw Me in all My glory, then
We wouldn't be having this conversation. You would sell everything that you had just so that you could
possess, or more appropriately, "be possessed" by Me. That's the sticking point that is keeping you "comfortably"
at a distance from Me. You are more comfortable being in your own circumstances AND CALLING ALL THE SHOTS
than risking it all on Me. You may be thinking, "No, that's not the case at all!"
Well, let Me just say that I see completely into your heart, even those places that you think are “secret."
Give Me full control of your life. Give Me your past, your present and even your future.
A person can't be resurrected except that he first must die. It is not "rocket science."
Even a little child can grasp that. It is, "Dead men walking" by the power of My Spirit.
It is not, "Half dead” men walking. Anything else is phony. So, if
the ONLY way to get to the resurrected life is to die, why would you think that you could "get the job done" on
your own? That brings us back to the foundations: "sand" equals "your way."
The Rock means ME. Many, many people need to have their foundation reset. That
means, "Tear down the old and replace it with the New." Sincerity of heart counts for nothing.
You can be "sincerely wrong." Now here's what you need to do. Confess
the truth that I have revealed about you. Repent and ask Me to take absolute control of your life.
Ask Me to reveal Myself to you so that you may truly cherish Me in your heart. Make Me King over
your life and your greatest desire to truly know and experience My Love. In other words, obey My commandments
as an expression of your love to Me. What are My commandments? They are to believe in,
love, cherish and adore Me with all your heart and to love your brothers and sisters in Christ. Do this
and I will place you with others who also love Me. Together We will build a house for Us to dwell in.
Mat 7:24-27 (KJV) 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded
upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be
likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Eph 2:19-22 (KJV) 19 Now
therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief
corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple
in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through
the Spirit.
Heb 3:6-19 (KJV) 6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose
house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 7 Wherefore
(as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved
me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They
do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in my wrath, They
shall not enter into my rest.) 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart
of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called
To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers
of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While
it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For
some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But
with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
1 Pet 2:5, 9 (KJV) 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built
up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
Luke 14:26-30 (KJV) 26 If any man come to me, and hate
not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether
he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation,
and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began
to build, and was not able to finish.
1 Cor 3:9-17 (KJV) 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building. 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me,
as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth
thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If
any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's
work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know
ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man
defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Jude 1:20-25 (KJV) 20 But ye, beloved, building
up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep
yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22
And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear,
pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that
is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
1 Cor 14:1-5 (KJV) 1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts , but rather that ye may prophesy.
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth
him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to
edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue
edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 5 I would that
ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues,
except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
1 Cor 14:26 (KJV) How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of
you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done
unto edifying.
Eph 4:11-16 (KJV) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors
and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the
faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind
of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But
speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth,
according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of
itself in love.
1 Thes 5:11 (KJV) Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Jn 2:15 (KJV) 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.
6/01/11 Wednesday
If you
are wondering which way to go, answer this question, "What was the last thing that I told you to do and have you done
it yet?" Don't expect to hear what your next step is, if you haven't taken the last step.
You have been too busy wrapped up in your present circumstances to hear My voice saying, "Move in this direction."
Take a step back and pause to see what I am saying. Yes, I said "see." You
have been accustomed to hearing My voice in the quiet times. Look at the "unusual" circumstances
that have come your way. What have you heard from others in seemingly incidental meetings.
They may have seemed ordinary, but then you sensed that there was a greater significance involved. You
need to seek Me for understanding and application. Where is your spiritual hunger leading you?
What is the secret desire within you that yearns for fulfillment of the void place in your soul? I
will tell you the only thing that will fill that void. It is My GLORY and My ABIDING presence within you.
Do not allow the understanding of the past to place blinders upon your eyes. You don't want "just
another experience with Me." You want a GREATER GLORY! How will this greater glory
be deposited within you? What must you do to move into that "new realm?" What
has been holding you back? The pathway to greater glory is through the narrow gate called "CHANGE."
Why should you expect to get anything different than you already have if you are stuck in the old season, doing old
things in the old, familiar, comfortable way? What you get (and have gotten) are the old, familiar, comfortable
results. That is like standing at the train station and being frustrated while the train leaves
without you. You were in the right place at the right time, but you didn't pay the price and buy a ticket!
What about it? Are you willing to pay the price, or would you rather be satisfied with rearranging
the seats on the station deck and just talking about the train that is coming? NO! I
have greater plans for you! Do you remember that I said that you would "dwell in tents?"
That meant that you weren't supposed to get too comfortable with your surroundings and the form of doing things.
When you get comfortable in those things, then you begin to believe that you have found "the way," and you
start to depend on those things instead of Me. One thing about tents: they're TEMPORARY! They're
meant to provide a temporary dwelling while you are on a journey! Have you forgotten that you are on a
journey? Have you become comfortable in your temporary dwelling? Do you feel that you have become stagnant?
I would like to invite you to a "Church Growth Conference." You will really enjoy the
main Speaker. It's ME! What is the secret to growth? Humility, trust
and obedience. It's time to pull up the stakes to your tent! It is time for change!
That doesn't necessarily mean that you're moving. It does mean that you have got to be willing
to move if I say so. I am not telling you to forsake those whom I have knit together with you. The
change is within you more than without you. Doing things differently or doing different things
will challenge you. They're unfamiliar. They're uncomfortable for a while.
But I AM calling you to come up higher! That means that you will have to align yourself to a portal
that I have ordained. That alignment has just as much to do with attitude as with positioning.
Ask Me for discernment. Don't hesitate while I am calling.
Ps 106:13-15 (KJV) 13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his
counsel: 14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. 15
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
Ps 106:13-15 (AMP) 13 But they hastily forgot His works; they did not earnestly wait for His plans
to develop regarding them, 14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tempted and tried to
restrain God with their insistent desires in the desert. 15 And He gave them their request, but
sent leanness into their souls and thinned their numbers by disease and death.
3 Jn 1:2 (AMP) Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and that your body may keep well, even as I know your soul keeps
well and prospers.
Ps 24:3-5 (KJV) 3
Who shall ascend into the hill of the
Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a
pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He
shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 2 Cor 7:1 (KJV) Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the
flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Eph 5:24-32 (KJV) 24 Therefore as the church
is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That
he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might
present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his
wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth
it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh,
and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined
unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning
Christ and the church.
Jas 4:4-10 (KJV) 4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the
enemy of God. 5 Do
ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth
more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw
nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your
hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned
to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift
you up.
6/14/11 Tuesday
Surely the day of calamity approaches.
Suddenly the wicked shall be cut off and great fear shall seize the hearts of men. The jaws of the
scoffers shall drop and those with a double mind shall shrink back. Why should the hearts of the stubborn
and the wicked believe that their deeds would not go unanswered? Though it might take days, weeks, months
or years, there IS judgment reserved in heaven for them and, YES, they SHALL see it in this life. The time
of forebearance is drawing close to an end. It is NOT a matter of years, but of months and days.
The tangled web that they have devised against the innocent shall become the snare that shall snatch them away.
Their secret schemes and plans shall be exposed for all the world to see. The voices of the people
shall cry out saying, "Enough!" A "perfect storm" is approaching - the simultaneous
convergence of natural calamities, strife and war. Generations of people have believed that I am a "hands
off" God, willing to stand by while the world "goes to hell in a hand basket!" Still others
believe that I have bound Myself somehow and that I am wringing My Hands frustrated and powerless. They
shall soon see My power! All is not darkness and gloom. My remnant is in the midst.
They hear My Voice and are not moved by what they see. They understand that all these things MUST
come to pass. Sin must run its course. The darkness of night shall give way to the dawning
light of a new day. Yet, all these words seem distant and vague to those who cannot discern the things
of the Spirit. They don't understand that there are forces at work that shall bring these things into play.
It's like watching the weather explained on television. All that talk of "highs" and "lows"
is just "mumbo jumbo" to them. "Just tell me if it is going to rain," they say.
They leave the understanding of meteorology to the "professionals." They do the same for
the things of the Spirit. They are like the children of Israel in the wilderness telling Moses, "You
go up the mountain and tell us what God says." The problem was that they didn't have My Words written
on the tablets of their hearts. Multitudes today don't either. That is why they are
easily swayed by every whim of doctrine or their own evil hearts. The experiences of Israel in the wilderness
were for our understanding and WARNING. Shall I once again open up the earth and swallow the rebellious?
Shall the days of Ananias and Sapphira return? Am I the same, yesterday, today and forever?
Does the "age of grace" mean that My justice and judgment has passed away? "Stay
tuned in" and see, and that's not just a cliche! This "television generation" prefers to
sit back and watch rather than get up and go! Some would say, "Not me! I don't
watch TV." But there are few such as the Bereans were. They received My Word with a ready mind, and
searched the scriptures daily to prove for themselves what they heard. Let Me be "up front" with
you. If My Spirit within you bears witness with what you are hearing Me say right now, go to the scriptures
and allow Me to confirm them. If you are hearing Me and it sounds only like thunder, then your mind is
discrediting these Words as the babbling of a fanatic. I urge you to take another look and not allow that
day to come upon you unprepared. There is time before the storm to prepare. It isn't
too late, but you must not delay. My true shepherds shall heed My warning and gather My flock into the
fold. They shall be spared from the fury. A prudent man discerns the seasons and prepares
for the storm. Let the days ahead be the judge. Do not disregard what I am saying.
I rebuke and chasten those whom I love. Eagerly repent and rekindle My fire within you.
Ps 33:18-19 (AMP) 18 Behold, the Lord's eye is upon those who fear Him who
revere and worship Him with awe, who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness, 19
To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
Prov 3:32 (AMP) For the perverse are an abomination extremely disgusting and detestable to the Lord; but His confidential
communion and secret counsel are with the uncompromisingly righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with
Him).
Prov 4:20-27 (AMP) 20 My son, attend to my words; consent
and submit to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from your sight;
keep them in the center of your heart. 22 For they are life
to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep and
guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.
24 Put away from you false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary
talk put far from you. 25 Let your eyes look right on with fixed purpose, and let your gaze
be straight before you. 26 Consider well the path of your feet,
and let all your ways be established and ordered aright. 27 Turn not aside to the
right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil.
Prov 18:20-21 (AMP) 20 A man’s moral self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and
with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied whether good or evil. 21 Death and life are
in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it for death or life.
Ecc 9:12 (KJV) For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in
the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
7/19/11 Sunday
Don't allow anxiety to paralyze you with fear.
Don't let worry and doubt rob you of your faith. I know what I have planned for you and there are
no "what if's" in those plans. I know the future and I hold YOUR future in My hands!
Fear, worry, anxiety and doubt can arise in you when you take your eyes off of Me and consider your circumstances.
The remedy to the knot in the pit of your stomach is My peace. That means you need to be bathed
in My love. The mind's adamant trumpeting of "proof texts" cannot stomp out the the nagging fears
of the heart. Anxiety is a symptom of a divided soul and of being double minded. Hope
is choked in this toxic soup. Where can you run to calm the raging storm within? Rush
to Me! Confess, that means, agree with Me, that you have been all alone and the wolves of fear and anxiety
have been snarling at you. Cry out to Me and I will give you a peace that is beyond explanation.
Put your trust in Me and in My Goodness, My Mercy and My Love for you! I won't let you down.
Surrender your desire to understand HOW I shall work My perfect plan and just rest in knowing that I AM
working it. There is something greater than believing. It is having a KNOWING
deep, down within you! That's what My Peace and My Love produce. It causes you to say,
"I don't understand it, but I just know that everything is going to be all right." It is a "settled
truth" within your spirit that keeps you during times of distress. This settled truth answers any
argument that the soul may bring. There's no longer any contradiction and instead there is alignment.
You can't get this from your mind. Indeed, it is a REALIGNMENT within you. My
Spirit speaks Truth to your spirit. Then your spirit brings your soul and mind into agreement.
This is grace. I stoop down and lift you up from the gutter to glory. I
give you My favor and seat you beside Me and you change from a begger to a PRINCE. I wash you and
cleanse you and you no longer look back at the former life. Excitement and expectancy rush through you
like a child at Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, let's celebrate Christmas early. Let's
celebrate "Christ in you!" Celebrate and be joyful in the midst of adversity and affliction,
for no earthly circumstance can keep you bound if you CHOOSE TO BE FREE! Make that choice NOW!
Jer 29:11(NIV) "For I know
the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope
and a future."
Phil 4:4-7 (AMP) 4
Rejoice in the Lord always delight, gladden yourselves in Him; again I say, Rejoice! 5 Let
all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near
He is coming soon. 6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every
circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants
known to God. 7 And God's peace shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul
assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever
sort that is, that peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your
hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
1 Pet 5:6 (AMP) Casting the whole
of your care all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns,
once and for all on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
Ps 37:1-8 (AMP) 1 FRET NOT yourself
because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing
with God). 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3
Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed
surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and
He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. 5 Commit your
way to the Lord roll and repose each care of your load on Him; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident)
also in Him and He will bring it to pass. 6 And He will make your uprightness and right standing
with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as the shining sun of the noonday. 7 Be
still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who
prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. 8 Cease from anger
and forsake wrath; fret not yourself--it tends only to evildoing.
8/15/11 Monday
The "due season" is approaching soon when what has been sown shall bring forth harvest. To
some, the harvest shall bring weeping and gnashing of teeth as they see the just recompense of their wickedness and idleness.
Their harvest shall reveal what they have sown over many years. They shall be broken without remedy.
Calamity shall fall upon them as one who dwells in a condemned building. Others shall reap a harvest
that brings rejoicing and celebration. These two shall be as in a field filled with wheat and tares.
The Day shall reveal it. Though this season has been approaching for a long time and My prophets
have been sounding the clarion warning, yet there are many whose ears have been dulled by the delights of sin.
They have not given heed to the times of their visitation. They have listened to their blind guides
that told them that all is well, all the while turning away the call of My Spirit. Their trust in religion
will not stand when the storms come. Idleness has whispered in their ears, "Take your ease, you deserve
it!" Pride has bound them with false hope. Soon woe shall be their lot.
Yet destruction comes not to utterly destroy but to tear down the fortresses of the enemy. In the
darkest of dark My remnant shall shine as a beacon in the storm. They shall reap the most precious harvest
of all, to be the vessels of the Lord of the harvest, fit and prepared for a mighty fresh move of My Spirit that shall gather
countless many into My kingdom. Their patient labor shall bring forth a harvest of glory. The
seeds that were sown in secret have sprung forth into full corns in the husks and they are ready to be chosen by their Lord
and Master for the season of reaping and rejoicing. The seeds of patience and humility have passed through
times of trials and testings and they have become reflections of the Image of the One whose Face has been ever before them.
Though adversity and affliction have buffeted them, yet they have not fallen away. The time draws
nigh when they shall pour out the precious Treasure within. Do not faint before the due season.
Don't throw up your hands in despair. The prize goes to the ones who persevere till the end.
Hold fast to the promises that I have given to you. They will surely come to pass if you don't give
up. I am at work within you and I will perfect what I have begun. What shall soon come
to pass is not the end, but just the beginning. It may seem very dark, yet above the storm clouds, the
sun is still shining. It is time to get excited, not discouraged. Set your focus upon
Me rather than your circumstances. Be open to being used differently. The season is
changing and the old ways will not be useful as they were before. There is a thin line between being excited
and being afraid. If you know that I have you in My hands, then you don't have to fear the future.
Remember that it's not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit. Just rest in Me and be ready for
My call.
Is 30:15a (KJV) For thus saith
the Lord God , the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your
strength.
Prov 22:19 (KJV) That thy trust may be in the Lord , I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
Gal 6:7-9 (KJV) 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And
let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Proverbs 6:12-19 (KJV) 12 A
naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh
with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief
continually; he soweth discord. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he
be broken without remedy. 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are
an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
8/23/11 Tuesday
Do you hear the thunder just over the horizon? The sound of many horsemen drawing close for battle.
Has the clamor of daily living lulled you to sleep? Have the cares of this life and the desire for
other things choked the seed of My Words within you? You say, "No, Lord." But
I am looking for fruit and what do I find? Have you lost sight of My purpose and calling? It
isn't just up to Me. You must yield to Me. Are you like countless others who have started
on fire, but have turned away and settled for man's religion? The end of the ages is closer than you think!
Seedtime is drawing close to an end and the harvest is waiting in the field. Will it be trampled
down or ravaged due to YOUR idleness? September is just around the bend in the road. Has
your idleness squandered the opportunity to prepare for the greatest season of your life? You need to wake
up and redeem the time that remains, for the days are indeed evil and there won't be time to recover when the shaking begins.
This is not the first time that I have told you this. It may be your last time to hear it!
Hold fast to what you have. Don't let anyone steal your crown! Yes, I said CROWN!
You have been walking around as a pauper when I have placed royal garments upon you! You have seen
yourself a victim instead of a victor. You have been saying, "Woe is me," instead of rejoicing
IN ME and giving Me praise! Of course I am aware of the circumstances of your life. I
have not forsaken you! You have not "sinned away" your inheritance. BUT, there
is a very short amount of time remaining and you must become SERIOUS about your life. I want you to become
a "first responder" when calamity strikes. I want My glory to shine forth from your countenance
in the midst of the dark days that are approaching. I want you to be a bearer of the Priceless Treasure
in the desperate circumstances that shall soon engulf those around you. Reprioritize your life.
Place the Best before the good. My Spirit will help you. He shall multiply the
fruit of your surrender. Repent and return to Me! Time is ticking away, but in My realm
there is no time. Come into My realm where there is plenty of "time" to quickly recover.
You shall be "double promoted." All is not lost. Watch what can happen
when you do it MY way.
Phil 4:4-8 (AMP) 4 Rejoice in the Lord always delight, gladden yourselves
in Him; again I say, Rejoice! 5 Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness
(your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near He is coming soon. 6 Do not fret
or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests),
with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. 7 And God’s peace shall be
yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content
with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard
over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever
is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever
is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and
weigh and take account of these things fix your minds on them.
1 Thess
5:16-24 (KJV) 16 Rejoice
evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20
Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22
Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you
wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
9/08/11 Thursday
There are many to whom the approaching
Day shall catch them unaware and unprepared. There are others who SHOULD HAVE been aware and prepared,
but the cares of this world and the desire for other things choked My message and they found themselves outside of My provision,
naked and unprotected. They heard My warning, yet the little foxes stole their fruit and now they are away
from the shelter of My wings. It is NOT enough to gather YOUR OWN provision like a squirrel before winter!
Being prepared is not about PROVISION. It is about being connected to the SOURCE. It
is not about gathering for your needs. It is about finding My will and getting right in the middle of it.
I am not saying that you should throw prudence out the window. That would not be wise.
I am looking at your heart. Do I see FEAR or FAITH? If there is fear in your
heart, it is because you have not found your shelter in My Love. Fear is a symptom of guilt, shame and
condemnation. Faith comes from a "knowing" deep within you that all is well between Us.
It is upon this deep confidence that you can stand while the earth around you is crumbling. It is
the foundation of My Love that gives you the confidence to believe even in the face of adverse circumstances and the shouts
of scoffers and religious "friends." It is easy to be a "believer" when everything
is going well. The true test for the believers is just around the corner. Yes, I say
to you, "You are at the very gate!" Will you have an "unshakable kingdom" within you
when the whole world is shaking? Everywhere that you go, people are anxious and fearful that terrible things
are approaching. They are like the animals that sense the shifting of the earth below them before the great
earthquake. This is the very moment that My true believers should be pointing the way, yet many of them
have been caught up in secular things. I am telling you now, "Put the message out
and make it big so that all may hear. The shaking is imminent and shall be a clear warning that the end
of the ages is approaching! My coming is sooner than you think!" There is a moment
in time when all things shall change. The catching away will really happen. I am coming
for a bride that is eagerly awaiting My return. The events that shall soon happen shall shake My slumbering
church into reality. Make your salvation sure. Do it now!
Rom 13:11-14 (AMP) 11
Besides this you know what a critical hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to
reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied
on Christ, the Messiah). 12 The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop
(fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the full armor of light. 13 Let us live
and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly as in the open light of day, not in reveling (carousing) and drunkenness, not
in immorality and debauchery (sensuality and licentiousness), not in quarreling and jealousy. 14
But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for indulging the flesh put a stop to
thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature to gratify its desires (lusts).
Rom 14:23 (AMP) But the man who has doubts (misgivings, an uneasy conscience) about eating,
and then eats perhaps because of you, stands condemned before God, because he is not true to his convictions and he does not
act from faith. For whatever does not originate and proceed from faith is sin whatever is done without a conviction of its
approval by God is sinful.
Jas 4:16-17 (AMP) 16
But as it is, you boast falsely in your presumption and your self-conceit. All such boasting is wrong. 17
So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.
9/21/11 Wednesday
The countdown has begun. Time is
racing toward not only judgment, but also Glory. Though it may not yet appear obvious, it is still coming.
The people in Noah's day did not see calamity approaching, but suddenly it was there. Child of destiny,
do not be watching for judgment and chaos. Don't be anxious for these things to be revealed as though My
Words need to be validated. What is approaching is not only natural, but also supernatural.
Place your focus upon My promise of My Glory being revealed, not My judgment! The important thing
is the AWAKENING, not the birth pangs! I have not destined you to judgment, but to Glory! There
is a change in seasons coming soon and the pendulum shall swing. It is but a few days off.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BEGIN TO PROPHECY A CLEAR PATH TO YOUR DESTINY! I am listening for your response.
My Holy angels are awaiting their release to clear out all hindrances. It is time for the weak to
say that they are strong! It is time for the poor to say that they are rich! PROPHECY!
Call forth the things that are not as though they are RIGHT NOW! You are not a beggar!
You are a PRINCE! Your destiny is NOT to be shivering in fear in a cave! It is
to walk in POWER and AUTHORITY! It is not presumption if I have given you the promise, called you forth
and said, "GO!" You're not going to be watching the news. You're going to
BE the news! Remember that it is not about you. It is about Me IN you! Glory
is coming! Give it to Me!
Ps 24:3-5 (AMP) 1
THE EARTH is the Lord's, and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in it. 2 For
He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the currents and the rivers. 3 Who shall
go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? 4 He who has clean
hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully. 5
He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This
is the generation [description] of those who seek Him who inquire of and for Him and of necessity require Him, who seek Your
face, [O God of] Jacob. Selah [pause, and think of that]! 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and
be lifted up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is the King of
glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
yes, lift them up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is [He then]
this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah [pause, and think of that]!
