WILL YOU CLIMB?

March 22, 2008

Romans 8:37

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

There is a white picket fence and overlooking it is a very huge tree with green leaves that appears to stand within an orchid. The fruit connected with this tree or orchid seems to be apples. Beyond the tree is a valley, but at the top of the valley there is a fire raging. I hear the Spirit say, "Will you climb? The rough part is over." As I stand looking over this fence, the interpretation comes that I am looking back over the experiences and challenges, which each object really represents. The fire, the valley, the hill. The tree as it seems is the next adventure awaiting me, with the apples being the fruit that lies ahead after I climb this tree.

"For the journey has been far and distant, but you have overcome the major challenges that I set before you and in that you will be blessed, says the Lord. I have been your strength this far. Will you give in where you are just at the end of the journey? You see, these have made you strong, and you have become a major distraction for the enemy of your soul because he didn't know which way I would lead you. He is the enemy that you battle daily in your life, and the challenges that I presented seem to say to your enemy that she was defeated, he was defeated, they were defeated, but I say, Nay, for I have him set in his own trap to keep him busy, that I would take you through and bring you out and see breakthrough in your life. Laugh at your enemy for when he thought you were down, you were really up and when he thought you were out for the count, he thought that you wouldn't rise."

But I say, "Laugh, for you have overcome every major challenge set before you. I say lift your voice and say,'I am an overcomer and I can overcome the climb to receive the blessing of what is in store for me.' For I am faithful says the Lord, I will restore that which he has stolen from you through these trials. I have come to restore the fortunes that were taken. I am not a man that I should lie, nor the son of man that I shall repent. I have not changed My mind which concerns you says the Lord. I am the Man of My word which shall be fulfilled, this day. I am He who took you through the storm and now I will take you through the fields of blessing."

"Will you climb? Will you look over the mountain that was before you and say 'Yea', I have overcome as the Lord as proclaimed, because the Lord has said so, so shall I say I am moving ahead to the next phase of what is yet to come, for He is with me and is my strength. Believe and you shall stand and see the salvation and greatness of My strength," says the Lord.

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

March 21, 2008

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

As I still myself to hear from the Lord, I see flowers which resemble daisies being picked from the ground. A single daisy is now illuminated and as its white petals are picked from the flower, I hear "He loves me, he loves me not" till the yellow core of the daisy is the only part of the flower left. It reminds me of our bright sun, the Son of God and Psalm 2:12, Kiss the Son lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. I am also reminded of movies where one would enter the king's throne room and kiss his hand or his scepter as a sign of submission, loyalty and reverence for their king.

The wrath of God is upon mankind and those of us who are called by His Name and have citizenship in His kingdom must reverence our Savior. I hear God saying "where are My people? Where are the ones who I called by the night and watch and wait for their return? Where are they? Where are My knights who I have called by My Name? People of great strength and substance to allude the very darkness itself in this hour, for which My Son died? Where are the gallant knights of this Kingdom, the men and women of the Kingdom of God? Where are My servants who are called by My Name? I sit in My throne room waiting for your return to know that I am He that set you free. Please see that My redemption of mankind was planned before the foundations of the world, that I would have a people of My own. A royal priesthood, a peculiar people who evade the darkness with My glory, with My love. Where is the love that I showed before the ancient of days?"

"Where are the people of My kingdom with the love and grace that I showed on the cross so long ago? Where are my servants wrapped with My love? Are you ready for My return? For many will call Me savior and shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven with the hate you are wrapped in. Many will cry open the gates for we are your people. But I say 'Nay', for you never knew My love, for if you did you would have shown it to others with the same value that I shared with you. My disciples knew My love. My love for you and you and you. You who knew not what to do apart from Me and My redemption. I am the Savior of the world and I came to set those free who would follow Me. Have you followed? Have you picked up the cross that I picked up and became selfless? Where is that love in the earth today? Where is the faith that I released in My disciples to fill this earth with My love? If you love Me, you will show that love to others, today. Forget not the voice of the King that laughs at the enemy of your soul. For My love conquered that enemy and My love shall always prevail."

"I have left you My love and I will return for those who have shown My love as I require. We are one, and just as we are one, we are one in love. We are one in love. We are one in love. Let it resonate for this day, I speak LOVE, Love your neighbor as yourself, as you love God, the King of Israel. For I am love and shall always be the love that was shed on the cross for you," says the Lord.

DRESS IN LOVE

March 20, 2008

Psalm 55:4-6

My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. And I say, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;

As I was soaking in the presence of the Lord, a heart and a dove appeared before me that seem to merge into one object. The dove seemed to be infused inside of the heart while it's wings extended from the heart. The interpretation came that this was the Spirit of Love.



1 John 4:18 states that "There is no fear in love but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. I heard the Spirit say "Dress in Love for it is like armor, and it is the armor of the Spirit. The spiritual walk requires spiritual armor and this is the toughest armor made for the man and woman of God. It is strong enough to repel the deepest sin. Wash your armor with the cleansing blood of Jesus and remember His love was in the blood."
Perfect love cast out fear. Fear of failure, fear of destruction, fear of corruption, fear of the turmoil of failing to reach that goal in Him who sits on the throne. For He did not come to give us laws, but to give His love. Perfect love casts out fear. Fear of man, fear of death, fear of deception, fear of what lies in wait at the end of the road."

"For I have come to set you free," says the Lord, "that you may fly on the heights of the mountains of the Lord without shame and without restraint. Keep to the path which I have laid before you and you will mount up and fly with My love within you and you will bring great change to the atmosphere around you, My child. I see the faintness of heart to do good, but I say, Nay, do not faint for My love will give you the strength you need to overcome every trick of the enemy of your soul. Fear does not have any place in you, My dear. Remove the fear by dressing in My Spirit, for I am love. Take on My cloak and dress for the battle draws near and your armor shall be love," says the Lord.

Habakkuk 2:20

The Lord is in His holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before Him.

Before my eyes was these red theatre type curtains with yellow tassels that began to part. I saw the glowing garments of the Lord who was seated on a throne as the curtains were drawn to their respective corners. It reminded me of the scripture in Isaiah 6:1 which says, "I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple." As I saw Him seated these words came to me "I am here for the world to see." Then a broom appeared and began to sweep from left to right in front of the Lord's throne.

For Lord would say "Be still and know that I am God and see Me work on your behalf." Many of you are in troubled waters, but I am sending an angel to stir the waters that your healing may come. Do not fear the waters, for they are cleansing waters, stirred to bring the cleansing of My Spirit upon your life. Rejoice, I say rejoice, for your deliverance is near. Keep to the path lest treaded upon for you shall see many that will fall by the wayside. But I say, Nay, you shall have strength for the journey if you stay with Me. Leave your past behind and let the cleansing waters wash over you. You are cleansed by the word I speak to you today and these waters that have been stirred up will cease and become calm once again. I am peace. Be still and know that I am God. I am your Maker, your Carrier, and your King. Rejoice for I am the Lord, the Lord of hosts that came to redeem mankind."

FASTING ON THE SPIRIT

March 18, 2008

Luke 4:1

And Jesus full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days....

A gas pump appeared before me with the word GAS written on the front. The gas nozzle which lifted away from the pump landed in my mouth. I began to become bloated, inflating into a very huge round ball and began to float upwards in the sky as though I was a hot air ballon. I heard "Power" and the understanding of the word GAS was given. God and Spirit.

And God would say "Come fly away with Me into the Wilderness of Sin and leave your cares behind, to the place where I shall show you a new and adventurous way. I have much for those who would come away and cast their cares upon Me, for I am the Rock and I am the strength and substance that you need in this hour. For in the days to come many will wax cold and become cold to the things of the Spirit. But I say come fly away, come fly away with Me to a land of opportunity and strength. For the time has come for the Ancient of Days to win the war against the kingdom of Darkness and those that shall crusade in this war shall gain strength and mount up on wings as an eagle. The war has just begun and I stand at the door and knock, for ministry will open for those who long for it. Opportunity will come for those who desire it. Many resources will come to those who need it. I have opened the windows of heaven to pour out the finances for those who will venture across the seas. My treasury is not empty but full of the resources that await those who would enter the war. Oh that you would come away with Me into the land of plenty and prepare for the next season of adventure. You are a called people. A people called by My Name. I call you with an everlasting love and vital strength that is needed upon in this hour of turmoil across seas. Watch My land. Watch Zion. For when the cock crows My Son will arise and stand at the door to behold His Kingdom that draws nigh."

Exodus 14:16

Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground.

I saw a broom sweeping dust on the ground. Sweeping dust to the left and then to the right while making a part between the dust. Then a child's two-wheeled fire red bicycle from the 60's appeared with a foot giving the bike motion as it turns into a silver scooter. As they push and begin to ride the scooter between the parted dust, they come to the end of the trail by swerving the scooter. Dust begins to fly into the air which spells out FIRE.

When I think of this vision it speaks of leaving things of old and things of the past behind adventuring into new unfamiliar territory. I think of a familiar childhood term, 'Eat My Dust.' When a fire sweeps through a home it destroys everything in its path leaving the family left to start from scratch. It also leaves mounds ashes and dust behind. What I sense God saying is that some of the things that you want to get away from, some of the things that have plagued your life, some of the things that have no value must go into the fire and be destroyed. God has made a way of escape but you must leave those things to burn in the fire. Isaiah 43:2 says, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.

"I hear the Lord saying, "My children continue to carry things of old with them, but I say, 'Wait' for the journey is too burdensome with the baggage you have. For I have a new way of life if you just release these things of old and give My newness a try. A new way of living and adventure into the future and leave the past behind. Trailblazers, I call My people trailblazers that have the power to withstand the enemies of their soul with the power and gifts that I have placed within them. Give me your baggage and I will give you strength for the journey ahead. Come out un-singed and free from the utter destruction that lays waste at noonday. I am not a God who seeks to destroy My people. I am a God that seeks to enhance the lives of My people and give them the hope for tomorrow. I am He who sets the captive free from those things that will utterly cast them down and kill their joy. Take on My yoke for it is not burdensome and become free to be the individual I have set for you this season."

BRACE YOURSELF

March 16, 2008

Psalm 93

The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. The seas have lifted up, O LORD, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is mighty.

I see the jagged edges of rocks along the shore and the waves of water begin to beat against the rocks. They keep beating against the rocks with consistent pounding as though these are the waves of a storm brewing or about to approach the land. The waters are rough and on the rock stands a person and they lift their arms as they are prepared to dive into the waters. They land beneath the waters and begin to swim and as they swim towards me they smile. What I see is a mouth full of gold teeth, all gold. As they begin to swim once again they ascend from the water and climb the rocks. I think of panning for gold, miners who would dig for gold, sometimes finding rocks, sometimes golden nuggets.

I sense the Lord saying that the search for the riches of the deep has come upon the whole earth. Many search for the deep things and many just skim the surface, but as you continue to dig for the riches of His grace, you will find the true treasures of life that are in His word. The hidden treasures of His grace that are laid up in store for you. If you just dive into the word and find what He has for you. Take a deep plunge and find His grace for every situation in your life.

The Lord says, "Many are the waves that beat up on the lives of my people, but because they find strength in me, many of the rocks are not destroyed because I am the Rock and they stand upon Me, the Rock of all Ages. Please review your life and situations that have come upon you. Have you not stood? Have you not weathered the storm? Was it not I that came and braced you for life's challenges, was it not I who kept you in the midst of turmoil and destruction. Find the strength in My word. My voice is in the word for every circumstance that comes to beat upon you. Every one. Stand and see the salvation of the Lord for many would fold for the waves are strong, but I say Nay, strength is released to you this day that you will become the rocks that stand the waves. The waves that come to make you even stronger than before. Take up your cross and follow me, deny yourself and find life within Me. For I have come to set you free, today. Free."

On my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but found him not. I will rise now and go about the city, in the streets and in the squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but found him not.

I saw the word desperately and thought of this movie, Desperately Seeking Susan and I saw a rose.

"Where are the ones that I love? I long for those My heart throbs for. Where can they be found says the Lord? Where are those that I put My Name upon, those that bear My Name. Where can they be found? I watched in the night for those whom I love and found them not. I found them not upon the bed of sorrow crying for the ones that I love. Where are the souls I call in the night to watch with me? Where are the ones that I planted by the trees that grew in stature and strength in My Kingdom and have gone by the wayside? My heart longs for those whom I love. Please return with my love knowing that I have opened my arms reaching, extending, and chasing after those whom I love as the passionate bride pursuing her lover. Where are those whom I love, where are they? Where are they in the night whom my soul cries for? I love you. Return and come and sup with me in the night. In the night where I long for the laughter and cries of My saints. Where are the ones whom My heart loves? Where are they whom I cry for, where are they that cry out for redemption and I cry with them. Where are the ones still lost in the night? Where are they? Give me the night and I will give you the world."

March 13, 2008

1 Kings 19:12

And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.

What comes to mind is a soaking song that says softly you surround me, and I hear your voice.

And God would say" that softly I speak and hear the voice of the Lord being spoken in this hour. For I speak to each one according to his faith. Where is your faith to hear what I speak? For many speak of the days that the voice of the Lord will be audible, but I say will you hear the voice of the Lord that is faint? It is faint and weak so that in the day of trouble you can hear My voice clearly. For My audible voice will come as a shout for many to rise and meet the King in the air. For I will speak now as softly as a whisper so many can train their ears for in the day of trouble many will speak and many will say it is the Lord's direction, but I say Nay, for it is not me, but the enemy speaking of destruction to My people. You must hear My voice and listen to My commands and believe that you hear from Me and what you hear will not cause you destruction or cause you demise, but it will train you for the battle ahead in this hour. I am coming, and when I come will you be prepared? I will shout and I will scream, and I will cry for the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof and they that dwell within. I will shout as on the battlefield for behold My Kingdom has come and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. Do you hear the Spirit cry come? He calls for those of the Spirit to hear His voice and listen to the commands everyday. Each day a new day with instruction from the Spirit. Faintly. Tune your ears, for I shall speak with softness and you will learn to hear that which the Spirit instructs for your days to come. Follow Me and learn from Me for it is not burdensome, but light. Speak and it shall come forth for the word I put in your ear shall not fail but bring light to many. Have you faith? Where it is? Put it to work and hear My voice," saith the Lord of Hosts.

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

I saw a block of cement, but identified it as quicksand and a footprint appeared in the block of cement. Written above the footprint was the word prayer.

I hear the Lord say "Ask, Seek, Knock and it shall be opened to you. It shall be opened, I say, in a moment's notice, it shall be opened for those who believe. Quick prayers are a moment's notice, and in an instant you will see results, if you believe. The gift I have given man is the gift of prayer, to make change occur in the earth realm. There is prayer of the righteous that availeth much and I am answering their prayer. Begin to cry out for the merciless, for they will soon change. Begin to cry out for the unrighteous for they will quickly turn their life around. They will never be the same. There is a call on many of the unrighteous that I am calling the righteous to cry out for. For they shall come into my Kingdom with righteousness and will turn My Kingdom around for the very madness that they have caused they will quickly identify and begin to press in to cause change in the land. They are the ones who will quickly rise and stature will cause the change in the land. I will change those. They will be changed in a twinkling of an eye and many will say like they said of My Son, "is this Joseph's son?" They will turn around and venture into many avenues that the righteous will not step in. They will change the world with great stamina and grace and many will see and despise, but I say No, this is not what it seems to be and many will grab hold of the vision that I will give them and link with them and cause the land to change for My Glory. Sinking sand that will become cemented ground. The prayer of the righteous will cause them to stand. The prayers of the righteous will cause many to stand."

FRUIT BEARING

John 15:16

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

I heard the Lord say "The mighty shall bear fruit if you remain in me."

I see a branch, that's twig like, that is laying on the ground. It has several extended branches that are cut off and it has no leaves or life of any kind.

"Behold I stand at the door and knock, shall I enter? If only those who are hearing the knocking would open the door that I shall enter. If only those who call on My Name would open the door that I may enter. I want to come in and sup with you for I have called you to bear fruit. Fruit comes from intimacy with the Master. I have chosen you to bear My fruit. Many fruit which has been bared is not of My doing, but of works of the flesh. The fruit to which I have called you to bear is everlasting and everyone shall know it is of God. Have you checked your fruit lately? Have you checked to see if it is of the Spirit? That which is Spirit is borne of the Spirit. Have you borne that which is Spirit? Have you borne from Me? It takes two to bear fruit and you cannot bear it alone. It takes two. You and Me. We will work as one and many will come and say is that the Lord's fruit? It is everlasting. It will remain. It will flourish. It will stay and give life to others who must bear fruit as the Kingdom of God desires. Have you borne fruit of the Spirit? If not, remain in me and see it born."

And this commandment we have from Him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

A man jumped on a motorcycle and began to do a wheelie and as he began to do this when he finished he landed on his feet with the motorcycle standing in front of him. Then he began to wipe down the motorcycle which appeared to be a Harley Davidson as though it had dust on it and had not been used for quite some time. Then I heard "Values of the Spirit" and the word love appeared.

God says "some of you need to wipe off the value of love for many have allowed it to sink to the bottom of the ocean. Let it slip away, when what I value is the love that you show to others. It's a must. This is how My Kingdom runs. It ran that way from the beginning of time. It's time to become lovers once again, lovers of those who are less fortunate than you, who do not know My love. The love that you found at the foot of the cross as My Son laid down His life for all of mankind. The love that acquitted you of your sins and made you free once again. It is His love that is required of My people to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. My love is within. It is a seed that must be watered and grown to fruition. My love is strong. It conquers all. It abides with those who abide in My Son. Will you abide? Will you come to the place where many have failed and refuse to show My love? It is exasperating and I say it once again. It is exasperating to see My people walk in hate and despair. It is a place that ages long ago that I came and released My love and did many receive? My love shall not fail. It conquers all."

and said, "There are fifty strong men here with us. Please let them go look for your master. Maybe the Spirit of the LORD carried him off to some mountain or valley." "No," Elisha replied, "they won't find him."

As I sat and listened to a song by Joshua Mills called Carried Away, I heard the Lord say, "Will you be carried away?" Will you be removed from the trials that sweep over you? "Come and let Me take you away", I hear Him say, reminding me of the commercial where the woman speaking to a box of Calgon says, "Calgon, take me away." She suddenly disappears from the chaos of her home and appears relaxing in her bathtub. God wants you in another place. Swept away by His presence, swept away by His grace. Will you let Him sweep you away?

"For many are tired and the trials of life overwhelm you, but I the Master of strength and grace will cause you to rise and cause you to fight against the tides that have come to sweep you away. I will cause you to fly in the Spirit over everything that would inhibit your walk with Me. If you would just fly with the wings of an eagle and let Me be the winds beneath your wings, I will glide you to that place of strength and vitality that I speak of daily. Just stay in My presence and be swept away. Take a deep breath and receive from My Spirit the breath of renewal that remains in Me forever more."

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, .....

There are snowflakes falling on a new grave. The word "Return" rings out loud. As one's body dies, they return to God, to heaven.

"Where are the ones that are to return?" It about returning to your "first love." Returning to the place where you first were in love with being who you were in God. Return to your first love, His passion within to share His eternal love with others. "Where are you now? Have you returned to receive new passion, new strength, and new revelation? It's time that you come back to your first love and receive all that I have for you and in the heavens you will find that I have given you every spiritual blessing that you will ever need. But you must return to the place that you first received the righteousness from God to walk this earth as a child of the Most High God. Return to the place where you weeped and I strengthened you and sent you back to conquer the trials that were pounding you as the waves of the sea. I am here waiting for the return of My loved ones that I need to strengthen and keep them near to hear My heart beat for the passion is great and few are those who return to hear the passion of My heart. I am here waiting. Will you return to Me? It's in this place you will find all that you need to move ahead into the life that awaits you. Stay and wait in my presence and be renewed with the freshness of the breath of the Spirit. It will renew you and give you the strength that I have in store for you. Will you return? It's near the time that many will perish because of the little strength that they rely on within themselves. But you will not, for I have called you to return. I wait, will you return? Return to your first love. I see you standing at the shores waiting for your ship to come in, but know it will not come in until you touch the shores of My garment and get the strength you need for eternity."

COME

March 6, 2008

Matthew 7:25

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.

There are flowers being planted one by one and they are encircled around this rock which is much larger than the flowers. I heard the Lord say "Rock of Gibraltar." The rock now clearly becomes a stone in the midst of the flowers. I see the stone as the altar of God and the flowers are believers around His altar. I sense God speaking about the strength of His saints, the strength of His people.

I hear Him saying, "Where will you find strength?" Where is the strength that you once knew in Me? Where is the strength of My people to overcome the challenges of the world that they are to conquer. Where is the strength that you once knew? Where am I? Where? I need you to come up higher to the place where you will find the strength you need to move to the next phase of your call. The strength you need to move forward in the the next vastness of this great work. Will you come? Will you lay around the altar of your God and be strengthen? Will you come to the place where you drank from Me and became refreshed and re-strengthened? Will you come back to the source of your strength, the Lord your God, the rock of your salvation? The strength of your life, the source of your strength. Come, you will not be disappointed. You will rejoice once again as you drink from the fountain that once was your source of strength. Just come and I will be there. There is more that I have for you that you need strength to come up higher, to make it upon the mount of the Lord. Just come and it will not be disappointing. There is more."

TURN THE LIGHT BACK ON

March 5, 2008

Romans 10:17

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

There was a light shining in my face from a lamp that stood about five feet tall. Someone turned the lamp off and another person reached over and turned the lamp back on. This continued several times until the person trying to turn the light off drew a sword and the person on the opposite side drew a shield that blocked the sword from cutting their hand. I recognized the shield as the Shield of Faith. I hear the Spirit say many are faithless for they fail to stay in the word. Where is your Shield of Faith? It is in your word. Everyday. A shield that is able to stop the devices of the enemy that would encamp around you and keep you in darkness. The word says in Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

"Where are you going says the Lord, are you on the path that I have chosen for you? Where is that path found? It is in My word. Everyday. For the enemy would come to build the darkness around you, but I say No, no to the darkness that prevails around many in this day. I say take up your faith and shield yourself with the weapon that is the word. Confessing My word daily will combat the enemy from moving forward in your life and keeping you hid away in the dark recesses of mankind. Where is the light which I have given you? Where is my word that should be hid in your heart? Where is the faith that lays dormant inside of you? Pick it up. Dust it off. Relax and unwind with the words that are able to strengthen your very being. Stay in the word that is able to keep you from stumbling, from falling. Dust off the word in your mouth and speak, then only will your trials turn aside and become victories in your life. You are My children and My word has power to set your soul free. Use it as a weapon to protect yourself from the offenses that come each day. You see the weapon is for defense against offense and you will walk away victoriously. Just use it. Use it until there are no victories to be won, for I would have return to earth for My Kingdom. Stay in the word and keep it close in your heart. For I love to hear My word resound from the earth. I love to hear it pour forth from your lips that would cause heaven and earth to tremble. Use it as a mighty weapon that causes the enemy within to rise and take notice that you are a strong vessel of God. For My word will strengthen you and cause you to rise. Take it, use it. Become one with My word and you will see My words will change your life. You will never be the same after it pierces your heart and soul. Remain in Me that My word remains in you, dear children. Remain in Me. In Me."

STEP INSIDE

March 4, 2008

Genesis 28:11

And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep.

A scroll of paper unrolled itself and on the top was written "Opened" and I stood before a door with a gold skeleton key in my hand. Peering into the lock with key in it, the door opened as I turned the key. A bright strong glow came from behind the door and as I looked inside this room, there were many things flying around in the air as though they were swept up in a tornado, a great whirlwind. So I shut the door and opened it once again and everything seemed calm and at peace. What stood behind the door now was a sofa that I had seen swirling around the room seconds earlier. As I walked and sat on the sofa, I was now sitting on the Master's lap and before me appeared an album with pictures of my childhood, my life. As He turned the pages, I could see "Rest" and I laid across the sofa and I heard "Stay Here" as I laid my head down and stretched out across the sofa. He then came and placed a pillow under my head. Some of you are missing from home, from God's house, the place that brings you rest and inner peace. God's house is where you make Him welcomed and asks Him to come in and take residence with you. See Jacob called the place that He had a revelation of God, Bethel, which means "house of God." The word says, "Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house."

I sense God saying, "Where is the stone that you will set up that will be My house?" Chaos is all around you, but as you set up that stone, I will make the winds of your life stay still and be at peace, if you will just set up that stone for Me. I will come in and make the winds stay still as we sit and fellowship and become one once again. In that time in the secret place where you grew as you grew in your mother's womb, so shall you be restored and rested in this place of fellowship in My Home. Where will you rest? The choice is yours." Wherever you place that stone will be a place of peace where you can come to your Father's house again and again and find His rest."

NEW RELATIONSHIPS

March 3, 2008

Ecclesiastes 4:12

And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him- a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Three tulips which seemed to be yellow appeared before me that were grown and fully developed, then someone came along and pulled the tulips out of their places and planted them in a deep hole. The person began to throw dirt around the tulips that buried them to the point you could only see about a quarter of their stem and their petals. The tulips were watered and began to grow to heights of about six feet tall and as they grew the tulips wrapped around each other into what seemed to be a braided intertwine.

I sense God saying that ones who before stood alone would be replanted that would bring new relationships, healthy relationship, relationships that would cause you to grow into higher heights than just being alone. Relationships that would tower and rise together as though a symphony harmonized by God himself. A three strand cord is not easily broken. Relationships that would not be broken, that the enemy could not prevail against and wreak havoc within. But they would be pure relationships that would bring joy and strength and move you into a place in God that is in the Secret Place. A place that many would grow together in the Secret Place. Place of His mysteries, that are now beginning to unfold. It seems as though where one would receive the mysteries, there would be two, three, who would receive the revelation from God that would confirm where He is going and His plans would be made manifest through those who are "stranded" together on the same secret mission of His grace.

LOCOMOTION

March 2, 2008

Acts 17:28

...and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. "We are his children," just as some of your poets have said.

I had a vision of a butterfly, a cocoon, and a cocoon with wings protruding from it. I sensed that this was the church and it was caught in a stage of metamorphosis. It was like God was saying this is where the church rather rest than move forward. The butterfly was in still motion, not moving, wings not flapping, but just still.

I hear the question, "Where are we going? What are we supposed to do? Where are we headed? We will not move until we know and this is a safe place until we do." But God says "No, this is not a safe place, this is where you die and the adventure ends. This is the place where you do not rest, but you push forward to get to the next phase of your destiny. Some of you are stuck in the cocoon, wanting to come out, but afraid to move forward. Some are out of the cocoon, but just waiting for flight destinations. Some of you are half way out and waiting for someone to come and pull you out of your cocoon."

God says "your place of stillness is your place of death. It is where you will remain if you don't begin to move forward into what is the next stage of your life. You do not know, and instead of embarking on a journey that is unfamiliar, you rather stay in the safe place. It is not a safe place, but a place of danger, a place where you fall prey to the wiles of the devil."

As you move ahead, God will move before you and make the crooked places straight and lead you into green pastures, where He will bring you rest.

"You are at the place of metamorphosis, the place of fulfilling your destiny but you refuse to move, you refuse to move ahead, you refuse to know that where you might go, is where you have your call and your destiny."

But God says "I am sending a wind that will remove the scales off of your eyes so you can see clearly the path that I have set before you and in that you will find the strength to move full speed ahead into what I call the next phase of your call. Full speed ahead is what I have called you to do. Full speed ahead."

HEARTS OF PASSION

March 1, 2008

Isaiah 40:31

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

I saw an oven that turned into a heart with flames and at opposite ends of the heart were wings. I sense the Lord saying their passion will be renewed. The passions they once had, their fervency shall be restored, shall be renewed with great passion and strength.

I sensed that God was going to ignite a new flash of light within His people that would explode into the next generation coming that would light the word of the gospel with a passionate love and force that could not be reckoned with. God is turning the hearts of the father toward the children and the children's heart toward their fathers. God is expanding the vision of passion and what it means to be passionate for Him. God is turning the hearts of His children in such a way that the new move of God will bring a blast of air that will change the course of history for the church.

"Will you fly with passion?" I hear God saying. "Will you fly with the new passion in side of you that I will not allow to be quenched nor put out. But My passion is your passion and what drives Me will drive you says the Lord. Hold on to the passion, because there is about to be an increase that you could have never imagined. Free to be passionate. Free to be free. Free to be me, says the Lord. Free to be what I designed you to be. Free to be as free as the wind, free, free, free. Fiery free."

TOWERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

February 29, 2008

Isaiah 61:3

And to comfort all who mourn,to care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, give them bouquets of roses instead of ashes, messages of joy instead of news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit. Rename them "Oaks of Righteousness" planted by God to display his glory.

I had a vision of a giant foot landing hard on what seemed to be a bed of roses and as I watched the foot come down the full body of a giant appeared. It reminded me of the story of Jack in the Beanstalk because now the giant stood next to a huge oak tree. I sense that God is saying that the Body of Christ will become that giant in the land. What once was beauty to the giant will become meaningless as they search out the true riches of heaven. As they search they will become towers or "oaks of righteousness" in the land. There is a planting that God is going to do in the land where revival is expected to come and many will become watchman in the land as the giant brings revival in the land. Many will stand in the towers and watch for the coming of what appears to be revival, but God says no, not a revival, but a revolution will come and many will be restored, revived, and revitalized for the work that God has called them to endure in the seasons that are ahead for the return of the Christ.

KNOW IT'S A BREEZE

February 28, 2008

Matthew 14:28-30

And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."

I see the wind blowing and there are what seem to be daffodils blowing in the wind. Although it looks like very strong winds it's a breeze. I see Jesus standing in the winds with His hands extended and His arms opened wide. It resembles the story of Jesus walking on water and He extends his hands to Peter to come and walk with Him on the water. I sense that God is asking some of you to extend your arms and let the winds take you where He wants you to go. The winds may look strong, but as you step into the winds, you begin to glide as though it were a breeze.

God is saying "that although what I have called you to seems as rough as the winds, it is actually soft as a gentle summer breeze. It's not what you are accustomed to, but as you submit you will find it a breeze, as Peter found it to be so while walking on the water to Jesus. Just believe and step into the winds and let Me take you where I am going says the Lord and see that as the seas roll, so will you roll in the next move of My Spirit," says the Lord of Hosts.

EMBRACING MY ROSES

February 27, 2008

Isaiah 53:3

He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

I saw a beautiful rose and picked it up and turned my nose up and dropped it. Then once again I say a beautiful rose and did the same thing as before. But this third time I saw a rose that was dried up and picked it up and began to smile. The vision slowly transformed into my having an armful of these dried up roses and began to embrace them.

I sense that God is saying that some of you are like the roses that are seemingly dried up that people have passed over because what they would call your deformity. But God says "you are the ones that pleases Him and He is embracing in this hour. The ones who have been picked over or left to the wayside."

It's your season to be embraced by the Master, and there are so many of you that God is going to link up in this hour as His Rose Garden, you will make a bed of roses that will be used by Him.

YOUR DESTINY IS NEAR

February 26, 2008

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.  Luke 8:22

"Many of you are on the shores of your destiny. Embark upon a new and vital season in your lives. This will begin to unfold before your very eyes. Trials are near that will launch you out to the place that I have stored up for you unto this day. I am here to release you in to the places that I have sent you already in the Spirit. Rest, for I come not to give you work, but to give you joy, to give you peace, to give you a place in the destiny of mankind that will begin to unfold even now in the cities of the main places where I shall pour out My Spirit before mankind. This is an area that many have not tread within, but now has come the hour that I will pour out my spirit and many shall go. Speak to the high places in your life and call them to attention, that your values may ascend to the very mountains of joy, unspeakable joy. Take on my yoke for it is light and not burdensome. I will be with you, lo even until the end of this age."

ARISE & ATTACK

January 2008

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 2008

Isaiah 45:2-3

I will go before you and level the mountains to make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron. And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls you by your name. 

"It is time to plunder the nations, to gather the wealth of the nations that God has kept hidden in past seasons. The God of Israel has kept riches in store places that He has yet to reveal. God is a God of promises. In this season God promises to restore the things that have laid dormant inside of His people. The gifts of the Spirit which have been hidden inside those who have been called to the nations. To those who have been called to gather up the souls. Many of you will go forth in this new season and reap the harvest of souls in many nations that were inaccessible. Many will find doors that were once closed now are being dramatically opened. He is going to turn and make the crooked places straight for you. People of destiny “arise and attack a nation at ease, which lives in confidence,” declares the Lord, “a nation that has neither gates nor bars...."
