The I AM is with you,awake you sleeper,you who are discourage,I AM is for you.

In this very moment we KNOW He is very present. This is vital, for He says, "I will never leave you or forsake you, "

The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.—Deuteronomy 31:8

, and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.—Matthew 28:20

TO ALL generations, the powerful name of the Lord GOD Himself is sent to all of us to do what? To use and declare His works among the people! His name is the most powerful demonstration we could have! It makes the pharaohs to bow. It causes knees to bow. It cleanses the lepers, heals the sick and drives out demons. AND, whatsoever you ask in the name of the Lord, He will give it!

"O, you," says the Lord, "as you wring your hands in worry and you hear the disturbing reports about you,
lean your ear to this, O My children! O you who have an ear.

"I AM is released to you NOW. I AM is revealed to you NOW. Go in power and revelation of I AM PRESENT among you to do mighty exploits. Heal the sick! Cleanse the lepers! Cast out the demons! Bind up the brokenhearted! Set captives free! Tell them I AM has sent you! I give you permission to bear My name; I give you rights to use it and demonstrate it—I call you to it!

@grace5
1. was this a vision revealed to you?
2. in what ways and by what means (please be practical) are the five physical senses assaulted by the kingdom of darkness and how will that make the christian lose his/her faith?
3.how then do we rise far above to where we can defeat the enemy.
please reply because i have wondered how come the devil devastates Christians to such a degree that no matter the level all of us are looking for deliverance which i understand did not use to be the case cos the average christian lived a holy life. is it that the world today has made the christian automatically not live a holy life. e.g i went shopping and could not find any clothes cos all were seductive and when i complained the shop keeper said that is what the manufactures are making. if a christian wears such clothes because that is all there is , is that person no longer holy. please reply as simply as you can . thank you

The vision is revealed to a prophet of GOD for all his children,i have had similar one.
alligator represent enemy in darkness they are hidden want to capture you,steal,kill and destroy.
of course this is the devil(soul,world is of the devil)
our sense,soulish,want gratification,exaltation,self praise.but we are to relate to both GOD and neighbour in love.
i have preached where the preaching is offensive to pastor.itching ear lead to false doctrine,preaching.(more to say about this)

OK ,our sense(must be dicipline or retrain by word of GOD) which is soulish of this world,still behave ,expect ,want or react in pleasing itself or the body instead of LOVE,enduring persecution,long suffering,self sacrifice,laying down our life for people(which actually gospel sake)we as being part of Christ have to continue both suffering and display of GOD glory(loving those that are abusing or against us even when we are doing what GOD call us to do),pls study life of prophet Jeremiah,Isaiah,they are regarded as failure despise in their life time all there prophecy are still coming to past actually Jeremiah spend most of his life in prison,what of Paul.
GOD have call us to a life of love,as his ambassador.his attribute must be seen in us.live as if tommorrow the lord is coming,maintain oil in our lamp.
God will reward us in eternity and his spirit is with us to help us.

thanks

Never Doubt That I Love You

Child of Mine, never doubt that I love you, for My love for you is the
foundation upon which our entire relationship is based. My great love
for you is what compelled Me to send My Son to purchase your salvation
at such a great cost to Himself. My great love for you is why I have
sent My Holy Spirit to reside inside of you, to help you, to guide you
and to empower you.

The enemy of your soul would tell you that you have somehow managed to
disqualify yourself from My love. But, dear one, that is not possible.
I loved you before you had turned to Me, before you had done a single
thing to please Me and before you even considered walking in My ways.
You caused Me great joy when you turned to Me and received the grace
that I have so freely offered to you. My love for you was never based
on your earning it, or is it based on your level of personal holiness,
or on any other thing that you could do.

Since the is nothing you can do to earn my love, there is also nothing
you can do to disqualify yourself from it. My love is always available
to you. It doesn't matter how much the accuser of the brethren whispers
into your ear--nothing can separate you from My great love for you.
You cannot disqualify yourself from My love for you--no matter how bad
you are, and no matter how much you mess up--for I am love and I will
never stop loving you.

Shattered Hearts

Beloved, yes there are shattered places in your heart.
Indeed there are shattered places in every heart.
I am the restorer of your heart.

When you come to Me,
Each time you come to Me,
Lifting up your heart to Me,
No matter how you are feeling,
I will reach over and take your heart,
Tenderly into My love.

I will simply breathe onto and into,
The shattered places (and),
They will be restored.

Beloved, I know that there are broken places,
In the hearts of My people.
That is why I send forth the invitation,
Time and time again, to come to Me,
To rest in My love,
To rest in My embrace,
To lean on Me.
For that is the place/position,
From which restoration comes.

Psalm 34:18a: The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart.

My Army

Sound the alarm, forecast a warning,
for sound of metal is the enemy preparing to attack.
Man your battle stations.
Go into your bunkers-fast and pray.
Do not be afraid of the sounds of war;
I have given you the victory.
You will triumph over your enemy.

You will win every battle if you seek Me for the battle plans.
You must stay close to Me at this hour.
Align yourself with prayer warriors-iron sharpens iron.
This battle will be won on your knees.

Endure hardness as a good soldier;
Don't fear the sounds of the enemies weapons.
Be still and know that I am God, that I have all power,
That I am almighty in every situation, in every circumstance,
And I have spoken the victory is yours this day.

Rejoice!
Hear the sound of marching feet--My army is on the move.
It is taking back every that has been stolen.
Do not be afraid--the victory belongs to you.

This is a time of prayer to do warfare in the heavenly realms.
Be bold as you speak My word against the enemy's devices,
for the weapons of this warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through to the pulling down of strongholds.
Take back old territory and take possession of new land.
I am calling you out of the fire.
The battle has been one you have the victory.

Fast and pray to rekindle My Spirit that is in you.
As you seek My face, you will see the change in your countenance.
In My presence there is joy, healing wholeness and prosperity.
Remember the gold and silver is Mine,
and so is the cattle on a thousand hills.

Ps. 18, NIV, I took the liberty to capitalize the pronouns for God.(PLEASE READ PRAYERFULLY)

verses 1-2: " I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." It all starts with LOVING GOD. acknowledging Him for who He is and who He is to me. This I can do even in a weakened state. Such a simple place to start for this journey of transformation that is Psalm 18~!

verse 3: "I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies." I call out to God for help, but notice my heart is in the right attitude, .I am aware that I'm crying out to a God who is worthy of praise. I call to Him with humility and reverence!

Verses 4-5: "The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me." We start in a horrible condition but our attention and focus is on God and trusting that He will deliver us.

verse 6: "In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice; my cray came before Him, into His ears." God hears us!

verse 7: "The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because He was angry." The next thing that happens is there is physical change that takes place on the earth as a result of God hearing us in our distress! and God is ANGRY. this is so comforting, for he is not angry with us, but with our enemy, with the evil behind the things that comes us against us. He contends with those who contend against us!

verse 9a: "He parted the heavens and came down"! How awesome is that. and all for one person's distress the God of the Universe parts the heavens and comes DOWN for Us! He comes to where we are! He enters onto the scene and everything is about to change,

verse 16: "He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters." God takes hold of me. How incredible. I picture myself flailing about in confusion and distress and agony and he just grabs me and calms me in an instant. Brings me to my senses. God reaches down and draws us out of deep waters. We are drawn out. His nearness attracts us to Him light a magnet. We are drawn out of the Yuck by His wonderfulness! Its not something we do are have to do or work at, It is an automatic reaction to His nearness. All we've done is in faith turn to him when we are in seemingly hopeless circumstances (verses 4-5)

verse 17: "He rescued me from my powerful enemy: from my foes who were too strong for me." Isn't this comforting? God acknowledges in His word that there ARE times when our enemy IS too strong for us. We come under false condemnation, that if we were better Christians we wouldn't be in a such a defeated state. But it says right here the enemy is powerful and too strong for us.

verse 18: "They confronted me in my day of disaster, but the Lord was my support." this tells me that its not like the enemy says, Oh look, she/he is at the point of being destitute. she is devastated. its not fair to attack her NOW. but no, that is when the enemy attacks. When natural disaster strikes, I lose my job, my husband leaves me, etc, that IS when the enemy comes in to finish us off. Thank the Lord He is our Support in these times!

verse 19: "He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me." First, I love the emotional imagery of being brought out of this place of feeling like death itself is coiled around me and constricting me and then God transforms my reality by literally moving me to a new place. a safe place. a broad and spacious place. I can hear a sigh of relief! and then the second part of this verse! HE does it because He DELIGHTS IN ME!?! Oh, do a happy dance! He not only loves me, as in taking pity on me, but even in this horrible condition God DELIGHTS IN ME! He loves me that much! I make Him happy just by existing crying out to him in distress!

verses 20-24: "The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He has rewarded me. For i have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not done evil by turning from my God. All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees. I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin. The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight, " The cleanness of my hands and my righteousness, I can rest in these verses because of my position in Christ and the finished work of Christ, Thank you Jesus! It is according to the cleanness of my hands IN HIS SIGHT. Not in the sight of my husband or friend or neighbor or co worker, but according to how GOD sees me, and I now He sees me through the Blood of the lamb. I don't know how King David uttered these words before the work of Christ, but I am so glad I'm in the time after the work of Christ! Regarding keeping His ways and not turning from Him, the fact that we are crying out to HIM and reading HIS word is a testimony to our not having turned away from God.

verse 28: "You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; My God turns my darkness into light." I love this. I see that part that God plays, I am dependant upon Him for everything! He keeps my lamp burning! When I'm terrified by the parable of the 10 virgins and fearful of being one of the 5 locked outside, away from Jesus (matt 24) I take comfort in this verse. GOD keeps my lamp burning! and then there it is, He turns my darkness into light, not just impersonal darkness but MY darkness, the very matter of the stuff that is troubling me, is takes that same substance and transforms it into LIGHT. He doesn't rebuke the darkness or cause it to flee or scatter, he turns it into Light, It becomes something of beauty and life,

verse 29: "With Your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall." Now there is a shift, He become able to do exploits for GOD on my own again. I'm restored and have gone from being a victim on the defense to going on the OFFENSIVE. I'm advancing against a troop, just me against many. I'm scaling walls. I have supernatural ability to go on the offensive. Even better!

verse 32. "It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect." God arms me with strength, he doesn't just give me a weapon, that i don't have strength to or skill to use, he gives me strength, he changes me from the inside out and equips me from the inside out, I AM THE WEAPON! and, He makes my way perfect, Wow. that's one to pray out loud! He perfects the path before me, He actually IS the path before me. He becomes my path!

verse 33: "He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights." He transforms and equips and supernaturally empowers my feet! He makes them special so that I can be stable and secure on the heights, in tricky places. I'm safe even there. Again, He does the enabling. And I can go to great heights because of His supernatural GODLY enabling. Heights are a place of authority. I am able to go to places of even greater authority and influence because HE makes me able.

verse 34: "He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze." I love this. He doesn't leave me dependant upon him to do battle for me all the time, He lets me get involved with Him. He trains my arms to be like His. He also give me supernaturally strength along with the training!

verse 35: "You give me Your shield of victory; and Your right hand sustains me." and then He gives me His Shield of Victory, I'm trained, I'm ready and His victory is my shield. I'm protected by the victory He has already won for me! His right hand sustains me, he doesn't just set me loose in battle, he sustains me, he stays with me to give me strength as I need it, He enables me to stand. and He stoops down to make me great!?! GOD stoops down to make ME great!?! He desires to fight through me at times, His greatness flowing through me, to do battle in His Name,

verse 36: "You broaden the path beneath me so my ankles do not turn." wow. what an amazing thing. He can do ALL things to make me safe. First he transforms my feet and makes them like deer's feet, but now he changes the very nature of the path or place that I need to stand, so that I can stand!! So I can stand and watch the enemy flee, run away from me in terror!

verse 37: "I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed." Wow. Another shift here. Not only have I gone on the offensive but now I begin to conquer and triumph over not just one enemy but all of them, enemies, that had me in such distress in the beginning of the Psalm, That could be circumstances in the natural and the forces of evil behind those things as well.

verses 38-41: "I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet. You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes, They cried for help, but there was no one to save them - to the Lord, but he did not answer." Notice how thorough it is, I don't just inflict SOME damage, I completely destroy the enemy! And I notice it is a team effort with me and the Lord! He causes them to flee from me and then I destroy them. We work together to accomplish the task; the victory.

verse 42: I LOVE this verse, "I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind; I poured them out like mud in the streets". those forces or circumstances that had me despairing of life in the beginning of the psalm have been rendered unrecognizable and inert, completely reduced to nothingness, unable to cause harm again to me or anyone else,

verse 43a: "You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations" I love this. It talks about being made the head of nations, What a complete positional transformation we have come through in 43 verse of poetry!?! wow, what a process.

Verses 43a-45: "People I did not know are subject to me. As soon as they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cringe before me. They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds." *What I see here is I am now in a place to rout out evil and have new authority. Its not just about victory in my life and circumstances, it is now brought me to a place where I can go into new territory and other peoples lives and minister that same freedom. The 'people' and the 'foreigners' in this context are demons. All that happens is they hear me coming and they cringe before me and come trembling out of their strongholds,

verse 50: "He gives His King great victories; He shows unfailing kindness to His anointed, to David and His descendents forever." He calls me His King and He give me victory, but not just victory, they are great and many - Great Victories. and what a wonderful note to end on, he shows me unfailing kindness, He does it all with and out of kindness, amazing, I am a descendent of David, just as I am of Abraham, through Christ's work of grafting me into the family of God.


*On July 5th I saw how the enemy trembles in fear when we walk onto the scene! We are filled with the blood of Christ, its not just on us, its in us! we are filled with GOD'S BLOOD. When we are born again, our very DNA and BLOOD are transformed in the spirit realm. I've had the concept of the blood of Jesus being applied to me, over me, protecting me, but this was new. I could hear it Roaring like a Lion, and terrifying the ENEMY, without me even being aware of it, Wow.

Get Ready to Soar

Rise above all that you war with in the Spirit. Come up here and see
from a higher view. It is time to soar on wings of eagles--take
flight. Soar with Me and I will show you My plans and purposes for
this time.

Can you catch My vision for My people, for My Church?

I will show it to you as you enter into worship before My throne. I
will pour out My revelation to you. It is a new time and a new season.
So get ready. Get ready to fly above it all in My Spirit.

the SPIRIT speaks

Come into My Everlasting Mercy,
It is your Maker,  that calls you
you never have to feel alone again,
I am with you, My child
When you feel My presence,  when you feel darkness all around,
I am there,
I have said I would never leave you,
I am your Comforter,  Always and Forever

Deuteronomy 31:6 (Nkjv)
6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God,
He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

A Word For Those Who Have Been In A Dark And Hard Place


Talk to Me. Talk to Me. Do not be silent. You are safe and there is
nothing you need to hold back from Me. Though you felt that you have been
trapped in the bowels of the Earth, I was with you. It was Me who you
leaned on. My light will burn. My light chases away the deepest darkness.
My light exposes the most hidden and reveals it into truth. Do not fret.
Beside you is where I am. Talk to Me. Talk to Me from the dark places
you may go through, from the windy places, from the caves you have run to,
from the valleys you wander in. Wherever you are, I am there, and I ask
you to talk to Me.

See! You will emerge victorious! You will emerge with no marks upon you.
You will emerge in victory with praise and thanksgiving ringing from your
lips! Great is that day that is upon you when you emerge as new from the
refiner's fire. See. The light is all around you. Do not look at the
darkness but look towards the light and hold on to the truth that is sewn
within you. Rejoice. This is the turning point. I am the rock of your
salvation. Nothing can move Me. Nothing can separate us. Nothing. No
one. It is not possible to be torn away from Me because I love you and I
delight in you.

My light is within you.

Unto The Ends Of The Earth

I had a vision of a dam wall. It was huge, and as I was moved closer and
closer, I saw that it appeared to be new. As I looked at the smooth, cement
walls of the dam, I felt it was not "new" as much as well looked after,
inspected regularly and any weak parts mended before they became weaker. It
seemed impenetrable, solid, holding back gallons and gallons of water,
holding back danger.

I was moved above the wall and within a split second the wall smashed as if
it was made of thin glass. Boulders of cement flew through the air in all
directions as the mighty waters pounded their way to freedom and charged
along the dry earth like wild horses. Within a few moments it was as if the
dam wall had never been and the silence of a moment before was filled with
the sound of running rivers.

As I stood there above this scene the Lord said,

"How hard you try to hold back what lies deep within you. With your own
strength you try to keep at bay all that comes for you. People see what is
you on the outside yet do not see the turmoil that is within you. You
battle and build your wall of protection, yet your shield does not need to
be made of this sweat and fear.

I remember you. I know your innermost parts. I knew your thoughts, every
day that was destined for you, before you ever came to be. Remember. I
smiled upon you lovingly as you were knit together in your Mother's womb.
Even then, in that silent place, My hands were around you, protecting you,
shielding you, caring for your preciousness. Nothing has changed. Here I
am still, I am for you. Was it not said that if I am for you, who can be
against you?

I am here to listen to all that you want to say. I am here and I hear your
voice, I see your tears, I know your needs and your fears. Have no fear,
none, have none, for I am with you, even unto the ends of the earth.
Sickness may come. Debt may try to gallop ahead of you. Friends and family
may desert you. The pressures of life on earth may try to pull at you and
shatter your calm. These are events that are here for a moment, that will
try to distract you from focusing on Me. They will not stay, they will not
remain. What will remain is My love for you, My promises to you which are
"Yes and amen" in Christ Jesus, My peace and love, My presence, these are
what will remain, these are what will see you through, I am the one that
will lead you, hold you, carry you, and I will bring you through.

Turn and look. Look upon Me and open your eyes. Embrace My words and let
them take root in your heart and bring forth a harvest. I am here to bless
you, to strengthen you, to keep you on the path that is righteousness. I
know the walk is long and hard, yet I will sustain you. I am with you
always--even unto the ends of the earth. There are no storms, no powers, no
situations, that I cannot change, that I cannot turn to nothing in a moment.
Wait and look. Wait. Have peace in your spirit. Be still and wait upon
Me. My hand is mighty, My hand reaches far across all the earth, My hand
changes and shapes any situation. I am with you. I. I am with you."

Walk Holy Before Me

I am life, and in Me there is no darkness. Therefore, if you want to
truly live in the fullness of all that I have for you, you must put
aside the things of this world that gives the darkness a hold over you.
These things may seem desirable for a season, but there is no benefit
in them for you--in fact, they just hold you back. Let go of them to
embrace Me and to embrace the abundant life and fullness of joy that
I have for you.

What good does it do you to worry or fret about things that you have
no control over? Do I not hold the future in My hand, and have I not
promised to take care of you? Trust Me and lay aside the fear--it does
not serve you to hang on to it. Embrace faith in Me and in My ability
to take care of you. Faith it will serve you much better than fear or
anxiety, for I am faithful, and you cannot go wrong by trusting in Me.

Likewise, let go of all bitterness and resentment and unforgiveness,
so that you may begin to enter into a deeper walk with Me. Have I not
said in My word that you are to forgive those who wrong you, just as
I have forgiven you? Respond to My word then, and embrace the fullness
of My forgiveness.

My forgiveness doesn't just cleanse you by the blood of My Son, it also
empowers you to forgive others. I am not asking you to forgive so that
you may be forgiven, for that would be "earning" a gift that was bought
and paid for at a very great price, and then given to you freely.

But I want you to receive the full measure of My forgiveness. That will
break the power of offense over you and enable to you walk in grace
without holding grudges. Releasing forgiveness breaks the enemy's power
to torment you, and I want you to be free from all torment and oppression.
So embrace My forgiveness to the point where you can freely release it
to others.

Walk holy before Me, and try to abstain from the things that you know
offend Me. Seek My pleasure instead of seeking the pleasures of this
world. If you do that, you will find joy unspeakable, both in this life
and in the one to come. Honor My word and walk in My ways. Purpose in
your heart to obey Me because you love Me, and this will please Me
greatly.

You cannot enter into the fullness and abundance of life that I desire
for you unless you let go of these things. You cannot stretch out your
hand out to receive the wonderful gifts that I have for you when your
hands are busy holding onto the things that separate you from Me. So
let go of them and embrace Me.

I am life, and in Me there is no darkness. Allow My life and My light
to saturate you, to cleanse you and to transform you, that you may
walk holy before Me.

Minister In My Love

My child, you are worried about many things. One thing is needful: love --
My love working in you. Love conquers all. Even this insurmountable wall
becomes a bridge in My hands as you open yourself to My love. Oh, that you
knew how much fear and unbelief block the flow of My power; how, in panic,
you shut Me out of the very situations where you most desperately need My
grace! Why don't you just cry out to Me at such times? Am I not always near,
ready to help you? Am I not your Savior? Banish unbelief, banish fear,
banish that double-mindedness! Resist them in My Name and they will flee
from you. Come to Me, My child, and receive from Me the gift of faith, in
abundant measure, as much as you need -- for you know I give liberally and
gladly to all who ask Me.

When I come, I will see what has been done with what I gave you. Use My
gifts, My child. Use them not only for your own edification, but for the
Body as well. I have given you much, My child, and I want to give you yet
more. Only use to the full what I have given you. Let the channel be
wide-open, let My life flow. I would have you give drink to My people. I
would have you nourish them. So many are hungry, so many are waiting. As
you obey, I empower. Are you ready?

Vision:   I saw a rock raised just above the water, and I saw a person standing on it. There were alligators and crocodiles in the water below [a swamp] raising their heads up with their jaws open - waiting for the person to slip [make one wrong move].

      The "rock" is representitive of the revealed knowledge of My Word [Will]. The fact that it was raised "just above" the water represents the precarious spiritual positioning of the person on the rock. The "alligators and crocodiles" represent the menacing tactics of the Enemy and, also, the potential tragedy of one remaining that close to that imminent danger that they represent. The fact that the water was a "swamp" ["low-lying" water] is representitive of the "world" [and all therein].

       There are many of My children in this most critical hour who remain standing on the "rock" of revealed knowledge but yet far below their true positioning with Christ at My right hand [even some who are truly seeking Me]. This allows the Enemy to continually attempt to bombard their five physical senses in an attempt to lure them to a place [the world] wherein they will let go of their faith [which works by Love] and patience.  As one is faithful to "rise up" into their true spiritual positioning in the heavenlies with Christ at My right hand they will not only rise "far above" the attacks and danger [represented by the "alligators and crocodiles"] of the Enemy they will also be perfectly positioned to "not be ignorant of His schemes". This true spiritual positioning is also the place wherein divine revelation flows freely. Let all those who truly love Me begin to "rise higher" this very day for it is certain that the Enemy's attacks will increase BUT, at the same time, I will begin to issue forth commands [instructions - revelation] to My faithful ones that will see Satan and his forces devastated to the greatest degree at every turn - and, from this higher spiritual positioning, My faithful and obedient ones will SURELY enter into the fullness of their true Kingdom-position and destiny, in Christ.

       , , "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. "The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall", Matthew 7:24-27 NASB

       , "[I pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all", Ephesians 1:17-23 NASB

Vision: I saw a mountain climbing expedition; with the lead hand [forerunner - pioneer] leading the way.

The Father spoke to me and said:

The "mountain climbing expedition" is representitive of the true race [true Christian life] - and the diligent pursuit to ever "rise higher" spiritually that is necessary to finish it successfully. The "lead hand" is representitive of the "forerunners" that I have positioned to help lead My people into the fullness of their precious inheritance, in Christ. When one [of the expedition] "plateaus" [holds to fear and self-desire] they become "dead" weight [no life]. It becomes an "immediate" problem to the rest of the expedition - BUT how I call those I have placed in a position of true delegated authority to handle it is not the way the world would handle it - for those with ANY form of self-agenda would surely abandon [forsake] one that hinders in any way "their" plan. I call each and every one of my "forerunners" to remain in love when one in their sphere of existance "falters" on the narrow path up the mountain. For many would "cut the ropes" in order to make their own path easier but truly I say to you that the first and foremost commandment I have given for My people [pertaining to relationship with each other] is for them to "love one another" - and, as one is faithful to love at all cost to themselves, they will SURELY be found loving Me to the greatest degree, also. Always remember, that regardless of circumstances [appearances] or how difficult things are "I" [Love] NEVER fail to accomplish My highest purpose through the faith and patience exercised by those who are faithful and true to Me - and, therefore, to My people. Truly I say to you, great is the reward [both in this age and the ages to come] for those who lay their lives down for the sake of the Kingdom in this most critical and glorious hour - for it is not an easy thing to Love in the face of the greatest attack ever against My remnant Church [for the love of many waxes cold]. Let it be clearly understood in this hour that it is truly the time of the "darkest before the dawn" - a new dawn that will usher forth the fullness of My glory and power in the midst of all those who truly love Me; a new dawn that will also see Satan and his forces "devastated" [crushed] at every turn by a holy and Glorious Church.

"falter" - to hesitate or waver in action, purpose, intent; give way; to move unsteadily, stumble;

, , "SO BY whatever [appeal to you there is in our mutual dwelling in Christ, by whatever] strengthening and consoling and encouraging [our relationship] in Him [affords], by whatever persuasive incentive there is in love, by whatever participation in the [Holy] Spirit [we share], and by whatever depth of affection and compassionate sympathy, Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention. Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves]. Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others. Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]", Philippians 2:1-5 The Amplified Translation

Positioning

Age to age, dust to dust. As I was with your fathers in the wilderness
of old so I am with you even now. Do not think it is over, for it is
never over when I am involved. Do you not know that I am the eternal
God? I am always on the move, always in motion. There is always a
purpose and a motivation to what I am doing, for I am positioning and
repositioning.

Your lives are as living stones for what is to come will come and so
much more is in store for you. Your lives are but a start to what I have
positioned you for.

Do you not know? Do you not comprehend? You are on journey--one of
eternal magnitude and infinite possibilities. The end is only the
beginning, an unfolding of a new destiny.

Child the positioning and shifting is only a fine tuning of where I am
directing you to. Allow Me to direct your steps. Even when it seems
that I am moving you towards nothing, there is something and somewhere
I am directing you to--always closer to Me and always with purpose and
destiny, and always with love.

You are My people.
I have created you.
From the beginning you were created with purpose.
That purpose has not changed. You are to still subdue the earth.
You are to have dominion over the earth, caring for and tending to its needs.

I have created you for marvelous deeds to be accomplished for Me.
That can be accomplished as you learn to trust and obey My leading.
You must know My word, the written and the spoken.
Seek to discover My secrets that I may reward you.

You are My people.
For My plans to be accomplished you must place Me first.
You must stop thinking about your ministries.
Seek Me and focus upon My ways.

Grow strong in Me and in My name.
Allow My glory to be seen.

I have created you, My people, to grow and not be stagnant.
My water is ever-flowing.
Share the security and refreshing I can bring.

I have created this discontent within your heart.
I have place a need for more of Me.

It is not My intent that you be comfortable, but matured.
It is time to move beyond the reliance of Judah.
It is time to take new ground.

There has been a new birthing for this time.
Accept My children of Issachar.
I have gifted them with knowledge. Listen when they speak to you.
They are burden-bearers.

Release My sons and daughters of Joseph.
Without those visions and dreams your zeal for Me perishes.
The blessings I have granted you run deep, yet not without suffering.

You are My people, created for My purposes.
Grow in Me that My glory may be released.
Do not become weak in My testing, but persevere in Me.
Know the reward is sure.

Be holy for I am holy.
Your purpose has not changed.
Do not become complacent.
Hope in the things I have privately shared with you.
Work for the things I have corporately shared with you.

Sword of the Spirit

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.


Ephesians 6:17
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God;

Use your sword of the Spirit
to cut through the veins and bushes that block
the path that I have placed you on.
Use your sword to cut through these obstacles, deceptions and lies
strategically placed to discourage you and make you doubt.
Use your sword--You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Use your sword--No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
Use your sword.
God has not given you the spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind.
You have the mind of Christ.
Clear your path with the sword of the Spirit and continue to walk.
Clear the path for those that follow you:
your children, natural and spiritual.
They will learn how to use the sword by watching you.
Use your sword--nothing can oppose it.
You have the victory.

If I Am The Potter

If I am the potter and you are the clay,
then I have made you in so many ways
to shift and bend and, yes, even break.
But will you go through it for My Name's sake?

I come to rebuild and to mend;
I come to fix what was broken.
I come to do what I have promised to you.

Some things in life you have to go through,
it happened to Jesus and now to you.
It's not easy, but remember I am in you.
I come to give you all that you need
because I am your Father, and you are My seed.
In this life are ups and downs,
but I am with you; I'm always around.
Look to the hills, from whence cometh your help.
It is in you that I want to dwell.
Come and find that secret place;
I stand here waiting to see your face.

Look to Me to live abundantly.
Look to Me and you will see,
it's not about rubies, silver or gold;
it's about your future, that I behold.
When things get rough, remember this one thing:
what you see is only temporary.
I am your peace, your comfort, and strength--
in Me you will do all that was meant.
If you abide in Me and I in you,
you will have peace that will see you through.
People will not always understand,
but you can tell them of the great I Am.

If I am the potter and you are the clay,
then you will always have hope for another day.
Share this joy and hope that you have in Me
so others can know of a greater eternity.
Don't keep to yourself what I want you to share,
but be bold for Me, if you dare.
If I am the potter, and you are the clay,
say all the things I tell you to say,
because there may not be another day.
Time is running short, you see;
I coming for My bride that is waiting for Me.
She is dressed in white and has war boots on;
she is not battered, even when standing alone.
Are you the bride I have called you to be?

If I am the potter and you are the clay,
you must prepare for our wedding day;
Hand in hand is how it will be--
your hand in Mine for all eternity.

Vision: I saw an "open door" [high and lifted up] in the spirit and, then, I saw a "heart" holding to fear, idolatry and rebellion down below it. I knew instantly that unless that heart let go of the "ground" of fear, idolatry and rebellion - and, therefore was "raised up" in Christ [in and by the Holy Spirit] - they would not be able to see [find] the open door.

The Father spoke to me and said:

+ A return to "proper" spiritual positioning is of the utmost importance in this hour for those who have "allowed: themselves to remain in bondage to the "lower life" [soul-life apart from My Spirit] in ANY of it forms [fear, idolatry, self-desire etc.]. For it is only one's entrance into their "true" spiritual positioning in Christ that will enable them to both find the key to and enter through the "open door" that will "propel" them into the fullness of their Kingdom-position and destiny.

"proper" - adapted or appropriate to the purpose [in this case the God's highest purpose] or circumstances; conforming to established standards of behaviour; precise; exact;

"propel" - to drive, or cause to move, forward, onward or upward; to impel or urge onward; actuate; incite; motivate; empower;

, "But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus", Ephesians 2:4-6 NASB

, "IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [Ps. 110:1.] And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God", Colossians 3:1-3 The Amplified Translation

Are You Ready? (MESSAGE FROM ABBA FATHER contd)

My child, be careful and do not allow your heart to be weighed down
with the things of this world and the anxieties of life, for the
kingdom of God is near. Do you not know that you yourself are My temple
and that My Spirit lives in you? Therefore allow My Spirit of fire to
continue to cleanse and to test the quality of your work.

Though you are distressed, child, you have a baptism to undergo, for
it is time to be dressed and ready for service and to keep your lamp
burning. Your calling is high, therefore begin to live a life worth
such a calling and to be holy just as I am holy, because without
holiness you will not see Me. Don't choose to be friend of the world,
or you will be My enemy. Instead, humble yourself under My mighty hand
and I will exalt you in due time.

Child, your carnal mind cannot understand My ways or My thoughts, for
only the Holy Spirit knows the thoughts of Mine. Yet I have chosen not
to hide things from you. Do not become wise in your own thinking because
My foolishness is wiser than man's wisdom, and I the thoughts of man
are futile to Me. Do not be fearful or worried of the things you have
suffered or will suffer, for just as My Son Jesus had to suffer to learn
obedience, so shall it be the same with you. For now is the time to no
longer touch, taste or handle the basic principles of this world,
because you have died with Christ to them.

My child, in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lived in bodily
form--and you have been given fullness in Christ. Therefore do not
delay any longer in making yourself ready, for My Son is coming at an
hour you do not expect. I have told you these things now ahead of time,
so that when it does happen, you will believe. For from he who has been
given much, much will be required and from he who has been entrusted
much, much more will be asked. Therefore in all this and as the eyes
of your understanding have been enlightened prepare yourself and prepare
the way of the Lord, so that all mankind will see My salvation.

"It will be good for those servants whose master finds them
ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the
night." --Luke 12:38

The Whole Loaf


I am with you now and forever.
You are My creation.

Seek Me, so I may reveal more of Myself to you.
Continue to seek Me for what you are in need of.
In all your ways, in all thing you do, say and think:
acknowledge Me.

Oh, that the all the world would know My voice and My heart!
Know with all your heart, without doubt, that I love you.
Do not be satisfied with a crumb of what I can provide;
take the whole loaf.
Take and eat. Be fulfilled.
I have much more for those I can trust.

Invite Me into your life. Share your heart with Me.
Bring Me your sorrows and dreams. Learn to know Me.
Become My living tabernacle, that I may ever-fill you.

New Fire

I have restored the fire.
I will pour out a new fire wind upon you!
I will restore everything that was taken from you.
EVERYTHING!
I will bring things anew, from friends to jobs!
New acquaintances,
relationships even restored!

I See Myself In You

I look into your eyes and I see diamonds,
precious are these,
I look a little further and I see a heart of gold,
loving and nurturing others.

I breathe the breath of life that you seek into your situation.
I speak into your dreams with nighttime truths;
Ask the meanings, and I will not with hold them from you
but tell you plainly in love.

I see the wonder of your future.
Beautiful is your living,
Wonderful is your song,
the aroma of your praise is beyond the fragrance of any gardens flower.

I see light in you,
I see prosperity in you,
I see healing in you,
I see deliverance in you, FREEDOM.

I see Myself in you,
righteous, humble, loving, faithful, faith-filled,
meek, obedient, and hopeful, able to do abundantly.

I love you and want you to know that
you truly do resemble Me.

The Winds Of This World

My people, you are walking against the winds of this world. There are
times when you feel like giving up because the waves are so strong
as they blow against you. Know that as you walk against the winds
of this world, you will be tempted to compromise. You will be
tempted to do what others are doing so you can overcome the winds.
It might seem easy to turn and walk with the winds of this world.
But don't do that. Instead, lean on Me and trust Me, and I will
help you. Yes, you will see the winds pick up, but walk with Me and
do not fear, for I have overcome.

Remember, you are a holy people; you have been set apart as peculiar
people, destined to triumph. Remember, My love, that I have overcome
this world and these evil winds. So, do not be dismayed when the
winds pick up; when you face unbelievable and incredible winds that
nearly drop you to your knees. Do not give up and turn your body to
face away from the wind. Continue on your course.

Call on Me, for I am your shelter. I am your high tower, and your
deliverer. I will take care of you. I may choose to calm the wind in
an instant to give you relief. Or I may remove you completely and
bring you to a place of calmness for a time. Or I may leave you where
you are, but provide protection and safe harbor for you there, so
that the winds do not prevail against you. But I will take care of you
as you face those winds.

Trust Me, for I have overcome, and your destiny is set in Me.

My Love is Being Poured Out

I am with you, My children, and you are very precious to Me. I have
given everything I can give for you. I have given you all things in
My Son, Jesus. My love is being poured out over you.

I will keep you and supply for your needs as only I can. My love will
never fail you, for I cannot fail. Entrust your life to Me, and I will
guide you in ways everlasting and give you My peace. You are My
beloved--there is nothing I will not give that would be good for you.
Trust in My blessings and wait on Me.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His
love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
-- Romans 5:5

MESSAGE FROM ABBA FATHER (continue)

When The Usual Way No Longer Works For You

Child of Mine, I want to explain something to you about the nature of
our relationship together. There will be times in your life when you
seek Me in the usual ways, but you will no longer find Me that way.
The things that used to work for you--that allowed you to to draw close
to Me--they will stop working. When this happens, dear one, don't be
confused and don't allow the enemy's lies and his voice of condemnation
to enter into your thinking.

I have not abandoned you and I am not displeased with you. I am not
pushing you away, nor am I rejecting you. What I am doing is inviting
you to grow and mature in your relationship with Me.

Think about it in the natural--as a child grows, it goes through seasons
of change. As an infant, it nurses off of his mother's breast. But
there comes a time when that child must be weaned, when he must learn
to eat solid food. At first his only responsibility is to play and grow
in stature, but there comes a child begins to do chores and to assume
his rightful place in the family and carry his weight. Likewise, the
way that a child relates to his parents changes over time as he grows.
His understanding and reason increase, he is capable of relating to
his parents at a higher level.

Dear one, did you think it would be any different in the Spirit?

I am your loving Heavenly Father, and you will always be My dear
child. That relationship will never change--but how we relate to each
other will go through seasons of change as you grow and mature. Some
of the ways that I have met you in the past were never intended to be
permanent ways for us to interact together. As you grow in Me and as
your ability to perceive in the spirit increases, I will begin to reveal
more of Myself to you. And at times, that will require a change in how
you relate to Me--and even in how you seek Me and where you find Me.

As you grow in Me and as you come to better understand My holiness,
some things that used to be permissible in your life will no longer be
allowed. I never abided in some of the places where you went to look
for Me--I was simply meeting you where you were at because I desired
to be found of you. But as you grow to become more like Me, I will
hold you to a higher standard. At times I will require a higher level
of dedication and obedience from you, and I will require a higher level
of holiness from you. I will ask you to behave more like Me and to act
more like I do. I will start asking you to refrain from some things
that you did not even realize displeased Me when you were at a lower
level of spiritual maturity. And at times I will no longer be found
in some of the ways that you are used to meeting with Me.

Do not despair when this happens, for it is an invitation to move
into new depths of relationship with Me. When you do so, you will
come to know Me better and you will receive a greater level of My
power and anointing upon your life. The transition times from one
level of maturity to another may seem frustrating at times. But as
your relationship with Me matures, I will bring you to higher place
where there is more opportunity and where you shall taste of Me in a
much greater measure.

So again I say to you, dear one, do not fret as our relationship begins
to grow and mature. When you cannot find Me as easily in the old ways,
press in and seek Me all the more. I will lead you and teach you and
show you how to find Me at the next level. As as you get to that place,
you will experience a greater level of My presence and I will show you
more of My glory and reveal more of Myself to you.

So come, dear one, press into Me and grow and mature in our relationship
together.

PUSH, PULL and STAND

It is time for my people to push past the things that have kept them in bondage.
Push past the things that would keep them down. Push past the gates of Hell and see the victory won.

Pull from Me, pull from all that I have for you. Pull from the provisions I have made for you.
But even more-so, pull together as My people. Come in to one mind and one heart focused on Me.
Learn to lean upon Me and upon those I have set in your paths.
Pull together so together you can pull down My glory and see it manifest amongst you.

And lastly, I say to you stand in this last day. Stand firm no matter what be going on around you.
Do not be shaken in your faith. Be grounded in Me and in your relationship with Me and you will stand.
When the seas get into turmoil, you will stand.
When others fall around you, not able to keep pushing , you STAND. Then you will be rewarded. Lean on Me and stand.
