Beloved ones,
Let Me tell you what you need to hear. Let Me repeat some things I have been speaking to you of these things for awhile. I am
calling you to a place of preparedness. Do you hear Me calling to you, ‘Prepare. Prepare’? I want you prepared for the future.
I want you prepared for eternity.
Do not be so concerned with the habits and concerns of your daily life that you fail to focus on that which is important in
following me. Do not focus on the negative – rise up in faith and hold on to the truth of My Word. Concerns with problems of
daily life and rumors may cause you to forget how fleeting this life is. Do not allow fear and doubt to overwhelm you and keep
you from living and walking in peace. Do not worry about the future. Instead, prepare for it. Don’t entertain anxiety. Do not
allow it in. But rather, put your trust, your faith in Me and My Word. Faith is called for in this day. Doubt and worry will bring you
to despair and lead to the destruction of your faith. I’m calling my people to prepare in faith.
I called Noah and spoke to him of preparation. He prepared his heart and he prepared for the flood that was to come. He
knew nothing about floods. But He prepared His heart and mind by listening to My voice and following My directions in
obedience. By faith in My Word and My way He prepared the ark and himself, his family as well. And they were safe. They
lived to follow Me into the future.
I sent Joseph to a place of preparation. He expected one things and found something quite different. Yet he kept his faith and
loyalty to his God. Through trustin in Me he was prepared for leadership when it was opened to him. He was prepared for the
famine when it came. He was prepared for the reunion and restoration of his family when they came. He prepared himself
through obedient trust and faith in Me and My ways. He listened to My voice and obeyed My Word.
Some of you are dithering about full of worry and unnecessary concerns, some of full of fear – fear of the future, fear of failure,
fear of evil men and evil itself. Stop dithering. Cease all worry. Lean fully on My strength. Rely completely on Me. I Am
Almighty God. My power has not diminished. My oversight has not ceased. Just as Noah and Joseph were saved and
prospered through their faith and belief in My word as well as their faith in Who I Am, so will you if you will but believe and trust
Me.
Some of you are asking how? How do I prepare? How do I stop worrying? Make the choice today. Whom will you believe? To
whom will you give your allegiance? Make the choice to believe Me, to serve Me and to prepare yourself. Do not allow what
you do not know about the future to keep you from faithfully trusting Me to guide you and to keep you.
Prepare yourself, by being sensitive to My Spirit, by being in constant communion with me. Abide in My word, study it,
meditate on it, and pray. Pray for wisdom. Pray for understanding. Come to Me and allow Me to guide you in the way of
preparation.
There are things coming on the earth that you will not understand outside of My Spirit and My wisdom. Stay close to Me,
Beloved so that you may walk in peace without being shaken. You will not stumble at the changes that are coming if you are
holding to the solid rock of My Word, standing in My presence.
Prepare. Prepare your heart. Renew your mind. Come to Me for all that you need. Prepare.

Dither: n.1. a trembling; vibration. 2. a state of flustered excitement or fear. v.t. 3. to act irresolutely vacillate
Irresolute: adj. Not resolute; doubtful; infirm of purpose; vacillating
Vacillate: v. 1. to waver in mind or opinion; be indecisive or irresolute. 2. to sway unsteadily; totter. 3. to oscillate or fluctuate.
To be unsteady, waver.

Dec. 20,
My Beloved, I have some things to say to you.  Do not be anxious.  Be anxious for nothing!  Your heavenly Father loves you.  
Because of My love for you, beloved, I see, I take note of your every need.  Be not deceived by doubts or detained by fear.  
Move into the center of My will, My purpose for you.  You will find victories there.  You will find far more than what you expect
waiting for you as you move into My will for you.
Beloved, I ask you to walk in obedience to My word.  Be obedient.  Let neither praise nor scorn of men move you.  Be moved
by My Spirit and My word only.  Let My approval be your reward.  As you walk in obedience your doubts and fears will vanish.  
Do not fear.  My purposes for you are good. My plans are good and to be desired by My children.  Walk in faith and
obedience to Me.  Leave your fears and doubts behind and find the victory of obedient faith.
Do not waver at the changes that are coming.  Do not doubt My goodness, do not doubt the perfection of My plan for you no
matter what you see or hear.  Rest in the truth of My word, Beloved and you will find true rest. My plans are to prosper you in
every way.  My choices for  you are for your best – the best health, the best circumstances, the best in relationships.  Choose
My way.  Choose My plan and allow it to develop.
Do not be anxious. Rest In Me and My ways.  Follow Me in obedience, beloved.  You will not be sorry.  You will find blessings
and victories awaiting you – if you will choose My way every time.
Do not be anxious.  Walk in victory.

A New Thing?
What I am saying today through My prophets is nothing new.  I have been telling you the same things for some time.  You will
see the same messages in My Word.  It is not a new thing.  And yet - it is a new thing!  Because every move I make is a new
thing to you.  Every time I turn you see a new facet of My character, every time I speak you receive new revelation – even the
old becomes new as I speak.  The atmosphere changes as I move.  When My angels surround you the atmosphere changes
if you will become aware of the change.  
I am doing something in the midst of My people that will seem totally new to all of you because you have never seen it before.  
But it has always existed in Me.  I have spoken these things to My people in times past.  I have warned My people and the
world to listen and to hear My voice.  All who hear do not listen.  All who see do not believe.
I am speaking again of the things, which are to come.  I am performing that which I said I would do.  I am exposing sin in the
midst of My people.  I start at the leadership.  I am cleansing and purifying My Body.  Do not be surprised or alarmed.  Pray
for the cleansing.  Pray for the purification to come and to be completed.  Search yourself and ask Holy Spirit to search your
heart.  Be ready.  Be prepared for the cleansing that is continuing.
Let go of everything that does not honor Me and My Kingdom.  Holding on to things of the past will keep you from moving on.  
It will keep you from progressing along the path of My choosing for you.  Repent of all sin and turn away from that practice.  
Repent and turn away from anything and everything that separates you from Me.  Let go of everything that claims your time
and attention and keeps you away from Me, that keeps you from Kingdom business.  Let go of the old and reach out to grasp
the new.
I am doing a new thing in your midst.  I am doing a new work in your lives.  I have already begun and I will continue until it is
complete.  This is a change that is sweeping through My Kingdom, through My people.  I have called you to be ready to be
prepared for this new move.  When I move everything changes.  I am preparing to move.  I am calling you to be prepared for
My move.  Seek My face as never before.  Search My word.  Search your own heart.  Purify yourselves.  Submit to Holy Spirit
for a cleansing and refreshing.
Stop questioning My love for you.  Stop denying My loving care and provision for you.  Don’t hold on to discouragement!  Don’
t give up!  Do not be alarmed. Do not fear.  These warnings are to prepare you.  Do not be caught unaware and unprepared.  
Listen and obey.  Receive My healing.  Receive My infilling of love and peace.   
Let go of the old things, the old ways, the old habits, the old wounds of the past, and all that is associated with them.  Let go of
unforgivness, bitterness and anger, holding a grudge in self-justification, nursing old wounds in self- pity.  Let it go!   Throw it
away from you – throw it away as the vilest garbage.  Cast it off.  Turn away from it.  Repent for it and turn to Me.  Make a
determination.  Choose to walk in My love.  Prepare yourself.  I am doing a new work, a new thing.  Be ready for it.

Look…and watch -- and be utterly amazed.  For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe even if
you were told.  Hab. 1:5  NIV

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.  See I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  I
am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.  Is. 43:18-20 NIV

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:  “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust
is your strength, but you would have none of it.  Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion.  
For the Lord is a God of justice.  Blessed are all who wait for Him.  O people of Zion,…how gracious He will be when you cry
for help!  As soon as He hears, He will answer you.  Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of
affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.  Whether you turn to the right or to the
lift, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”  Is. 30:15,18-21 NIV

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.  Now remain in My love.  If you obey My commands, you will remain in My
love, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commands and remain in His love.  I have told you this so that My joy may be in you
and that your joy may be complete.  My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.  You did not choose me, but I
chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last.  Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My
name.  This is My command: Love each other.  Jn 15:9-17 NIV

Do Your Part
My Beloved Children,
When you think I am not active in your life, that is when I am doing the most.  When you feel spiritually negative and empty, I
am filling you with My Spirit. I am putting down deep roots within you, penetrating the soil of your heart and your spirit.  O! My
children, you cannot know the depths I have in you.  Only I know what lies in the very deepest part of you.  Only I can bring out
the deepest wounds for healing as well as the richest treasures for you to share.  

Only I can heal and cut off at the roots.  Only I can bring forth the beauty I have placed within you.  Your place is to follow Me
faithfully.  Your part is to rest in the assurance that I am with you, I am doing a work within you.  Cling to Me.  Follow Me no
matter where I lead you.  Yield yourself to Me and My way trusting in Me to accomplish My will in your heart and in your life.

Believe.  Rest.  Follow.  Yield - surrender.  Trust.  That is your part.  Do your part and then trust Me to do My work.

Problems are Powerless
My Children,
Do not walk in discouragement.  Do not dismay.  Do not despair. No matter what you do or how you try or where you go, you
cannot go beyond the reach of My love for you.  My love is not dependent upon your actions or your works.  My love is given to
you without condition.   I will keep My hand on you to draw you and to lead you.  I lead; you follow.
You are under a direct frontal assault of the enemy at this time.  The enemy has come to draw you away, to tempt you to
withdraw, to steal all you have found in Me.  His plan is to wear you down, to weary you with problems, to discourage you and
derail you.
But you have a divine destiny.  I have a plan for your life.  I knew you, and I knew the plans I have for you before you were born.  
Rest in the assurance that the hand of your God is upon your life bringing you to your destiny.  I have called you and you are
Mine.  My sheep hear My voice and heed My words.  My Word covers every situation, every trial, every temptation and every
problem.  You need only to look within My Word to find what you need.
Whenever you take your eyes off Me and begin to look at yourself or your circumstances, you – like Peter walking on the
water – begin to sink.  Don’t look at the problems.  When you do, you become overwhelmed by the problems and your
inability to solve them. Don’t be overcome by your weakness or your inability and forget My total capability, My supreme
strength and My great power.  I am still all-powerful.  My hand is not shortened that it cannot reach you.  
Look to Jesus.  Keep your eyes focused narrowly on Him.  Trust Me to deliver you.  I have you in My hand.  You can trust Me to
carry you through even when you feel you cannot carry yourself.  Hold on to Me in faith believing My ability and my love.  
Combat the enemy by pulling down every stronghold and casting down imaginations.  Bring every thought captive to My Word
and My way.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you.  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom
he may devour.  Resist him; steadfast in the faith,... . 1 Pe. 5:6-9

Therefore submit to God.  "Resist the devil and he will flee from you.  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  James
4:7-8

A Call to Righteousness and Wholeness
I have called My people to love Me with all your heart and soul, to walk humbly before Me in obedience to My
commandments.  Too many of My children are giving me lip service rather than heart service.  I want hearts turned toward Me,
completely – yielded to Me - not talk about Me.  My people are to be a people with hearts yielded completely in obedience to
Me.  Too many are going their own way and asking Me to bless what they are doing rather than seeking Me for My way and
following the path I’ve chosen for them.  Too many are looking for “easy street” rather than accepting that My yoke is easy.  
You avoid the yoke so that you can still go your own way without yielding to My perfect way.  Finding a good way is not finding
My perfect way.
I am looking for a sold out, loyal, faithful, and obedient people.  I am calling My people to walk in holiness and purity, not
compromise and contention.  
I am doing a deep work within My body.  I am doing a deep cleansing work.  I have said I am shifting, and separating and
revealing; and I am.  You are seeing only the beginning of the cleansing and shaking that is coming.  But do not look at what is
to come in fear.  There is nothing to fear if you are choosing My way.  
Choose now to repent over any personal disobedience.  Give every fleshly act and desire to Me.  Choose to give yourself
wholly, entirely to Me and My ways.  Yield your heart to Me.  Keep nothing back for your own satisfaction.  Do not try to hold on
to anything.  Give it all to Me.  I will give you everything you need to walk in unity with My Spirit.  
Consider your own ways not the ways of others.  Do not sit in judgment of anyone.  Do not rejoice over anyone’s failure or
exposure.  Do not be quick to condemn others.  Rather look to your own heart.  Do not be deceived.  Do not think that your
own sinful disobedience will go unnoticed.  Do not think that you will slip by My notice while others are being exposed and
brought down from the places they have built for themselves.  
Do not think that you can sit in self-righteous judgment of others.  Do not think that you can walk in pride over where you think
you are in comparison to another.  Do not judge yourself by looking at others.  Measure yourself by My Word – that is the only
true measuring rod you can use.  Does your life measure up to My Word?  I alone can judge.  I am bringing My people into
alignment with My Word and My call to righteousness.  
Do not question your discernment or the discernment of others.  Don’t ask, “Why didn’t I see that something was wrong?”   
Know that what I want revealed - I reveal.  You do not know your own heart how can you know the heart of another?  I have
given everyone – I am continuing to give everyone – the opportunity to choose.  You can choose to humble yourselves and
repent.  Those who repent will not be humiliated through public exposure.  
You choose.  Will you serve me wholeheartedly?  Will you lay down all that is of this world to take up what I have called you
to?  Will you put off the old and put on the new?  Choose whom you will obey.  Choose whom you will serve.  You cannot serve
Me and your own flesh.  You cannot serve Me and the world.  You cannot serve Me and anything else.  I am a jealous God.  I
do require of you to love and serve Me above all else.  
Remember that I will make the way for you, I will shine a light on the path for you to follow.  I will enable you to walk where I
have called you to walk.  I will never leave you or forsake you.  And as you go, as you yield to Me you will find the peace and
joy you have been searching for.  You will find that each step becomes easier as you determine to follow Me, choosing My
ways over your own.

And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love
Him, to serve the Lord your God will all your heart, and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His
statutes which I command you today for your good? De. 10:12 –13 NKJV
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I
command you today shall be in your heart.  De. 6:5-6 NKJV
Jesus, said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  This is
the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  On these two
commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”  Mt. 22:37-40  NKJV
“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.  If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love,
just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.  These things have I spoken to you, that My joy may
remain in you, and that your joy may be full.  This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”   John.
15:9-12  NKJV

Oct. 27, 2006
While praying, I saw a large drawstring bag, the strings were being pulled up tightly to close the bag securely.  Then the bag
was thrown out into the darkness.  I knew it was trash - for the garbage pile or to be burned - even though it was not a trash
bag.

Then the Lord spoke this:
Hear the voice of the Lord.  Hear the voice of the Lord.  Hear Me.  Listen closely.  Hear My words.  I am closing some things
off, I’m tying up some things.  I'm getting rid of some things.  There are some activities, some behavior that I am bringing to a
stop. I'm tying them up to toss them away.   These things will be discarded and destroyed.  Do not hold onto or keep
attachments to anything that is set for destruction. Separate yourself.  
Things are changing.  Change is coming.  I have spoken change and I am bringing about change.  Change for nations and
change for individuals.  My people will see the changes first - they will receive the change - they will be changed first.  You
may make the decision to change and begin to lay aside these things or you may wait to be stripped.
I have called for holiness and purity.  I will bring about holiness and purity. I will not allow the profane, the unholy to share space
with the holy and pure.  I am sorting and sifting.  Sifting and separating.  Searching and revealing.   I am doing this.  I am
sifting and sorting.  I am separating.  And My light will expose whatever is hidden in the darkness.  My purity will expose the
profane.  Cleansing will begin in My house.  My Bride will be spotless and pure.
There is mixture in my children - the mixture of truth, half-truths and lies, the mixture of flesh with the spirit, the mixture of
entertainment and performance attempting to pass as worship, mixing the pure with the impure.  Is there not a desire for
purity among My people?  Is there not a longing for holiness within My children.  Come to Me in repentance.
Redeem the time.  I say to you again, redeem the time.   This is the hour, this is the opportunity to shake off some things, to
lay down some things, get rid of all that is not of Me and My Spirit.  This is the time to stop the tongue, to close the lips, to
purify the mouth, to cleanse the heart and tune the ear to My voice.  
If you will humble yourselves and take the time and the initiative to shake off all that is of the world, to lay down all that is
holding you back from My blessings, to cleanse yourself, then you will escape the humiliation of exposure at My hand.  
Change is coming.  Holiness is coming forth.  Separation is coming.  Separation of flesh masquerading as spirit.  Separation
of the holy and the profane. Purity is coming to shine forth while all that is impure will be cast off.
I will not be mocked.  I will not be scorned.  The day is at hand when all that is unholy, all that is unclean will be revealed. Those
who do not choose to cleanse themselves will be cleansed or separated.  Unholiness will not stand.  Walk in the light.  The
secrets of darkness will be exposed.  Seek the light.  Stay in the light.  Cleanse yourself.  
Hear the voice of the Lord.

"And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight.  
Behold, He is coming," says the Lord of hosts.  "But who can endure the day of His coming?  And who can stand when He
appears?  For He is like a refiner's fire and like launderers soap.  He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify
the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness."  Malachi 3:
1b-3  NKJV
"I indeed baptize you will water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not
worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.  His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean
out His threshing floor, and gather, His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."  Matt. 3:11-
12  NKJV
I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming.  And he has no claim on Me.  [He
has nothing in common with Me; there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.]  John 14:30 (AMP)
For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: "Who
committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth"; who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered,
He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the
tree that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness -- by whose stripes you were healed.  1 Peter 2:21-24  NJKV
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.  1 John 2:6 NKJV
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.  1
John 1:5 NKJV

Profane: (Hebrew:  Chalal) common, unholy. To bore, i.e. to wound, to dissolve; to profane; to break (one's word), pollute,
define, break, cast as profane, prostitute, slay, to stain, to sorrow
Greek: bebeloa) a threshold accessible (as by crossing the doorway) i.e. (by impl. of Jewish notions) heathenish, wicked;

Dear Friends,
In the last few weeks the Lord has been speaking to me about the way so many of His children are giving in to worry, fear,
lack of focus, and weariness; and the many distractions from the world that are keeping them from listening to His voice.  I
believe I am to resend a prophecy that I sent out almost two years ago.  I hope it speaks to your hearts again today.  I sense
deeply that there is a great need for each of us as individuals to stop and listen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STOP LONG ENOUGH TO HEAR
I’ve been waiting for you to stop long enough to hear what I have to say.  I long to communicate with you at a deeper level than
ever before.  But you need to come to me and sit in my presence to hear my voice.  I speak softly.  I will not shout for your
attention.  I will not compete with all the other noises.  I am speaking to you.  Listen for My quiet voice.  Be ready to hear what I
have to say.  What you want to talk about is not always what I want to talk to you about.  Don’t allow habits to substitute for true
communion with Me.  Be open to what I want to tell you.
First, My love for you is far greater than you realize.  The enemy has tried to keep you blinded to the depth and breath and
height of My great love for you.  Believe My love for you.  Believe that My Word is true.  Come and sit in My presence and
allow me to lovingly talk to you.  I want a Father-child chat with you.  There are things I want to guide you into.  There are things
I want to correct.  Listen closely to My voice and Mine alone.
Allow me to guide  in all things.  Do not try to make things happen, no matter how frustrated you feel over the seeming lack of
any activity.  I am working behind the scenes accomplishing what you could never accomplish.  Trust me as never before.  
Become flexible.  Let me guide you, be prepared, be ready to move quickly without lengthy explanations.
A new wave is coming and you need to be in position to catch it and ride the crest of the wave and go where it takes you.  Be
prepared.  Don’t be left on the shore wondering what happened and longing for what you missed.   Take your place. Take
your position.  You will hear My voice directing you as you maneuver into the place I have called you to take.   
Listen for My voice as you sit quietly in My presence.  And know that as you come into and wait in My glorious presence that
you will be changed.  My presence is light.  And My light exposes everything.  Just as standing before a mirror when you
undress for your bath you see yourself as you are, when you are standing in the Light of My presence you will see yourself as
you really are.  You stand before me naked.  Nothing is hidden.  You will see whatever is not of Me.  You will see the smallest
thing that needs to be laid down or cast aside.  
Come into My presence and be cleansed, be changed, be prepared for the next wave.  Listen carefully, and look closely at
what I am showing you.   A new wave is coming and I want to talk to you about what is ahead and what I want to change in
you.  Listen.  Listen.

Psalm 46:10-11 (AMP) Let be and be still, and know – recognize and understand – that I am God.  I will be exalted among the
nations!  I will be exalted in the earth!  The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge [our high tower and
stronghold].  Selah {pause and calmly think of that]!
Psalm 37: Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness – that which is
not upright, nor in right standing with God.  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.  Trust
(lean on, rely on and be confident) in the Lord, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness,
and truly you shall be fed.  Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.  
Commit your way to the Lord – roll and repose (each care of) your load on Him; trust (lean on, rely on be confident) also in
Him, and He will bring it to pass.  And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light and your
justice and right  as (the shining sun of) the noonday.
Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him, and patiently stay yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers
in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.   Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not yourself; it
tends only to evil-doing.  For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait and hope and look for the Lord, [in the end] shall
inherit the earth.

The Yoke
During prayer I saw two pairs of oxen yoked together two by two.  In the first pair one was much stronger and bigger than the
other.  And I heard the words “lead ox”. As long as the weaker one yielded to the strong one the yoke was easy to bear, easy
to be yoked together, easy to help carry the load.  The Lord spoke to me about being yoked to Him.

“My yoke is easy when you are yoked to Me.  When you allow Me to lead and you follow along with Me, not straining against
Me, not trying to go your own way or trying to take the lead or choose the path or direction.  Allow Me to choose where I lead
you.  Allow Me to choose how long it takes, how slow or how fast we go.  
“When you try to go your own way the yoke becomes hard and burdensome.  It is then a strain, it chafes your neck – or injures
your neck.  It is very uncomfortable if you are fighting against the yoke and the leader all the time.
“Some animals take immediately to the yoke.  They learn quickly and easily to follow, to yield, they are willing to be led.  They
do not strain against the yoke so there is no trouble, no burden.  Some fight every step of the way.  They must be “broken” to
the yoke.  They don’t follow easily.  They refuse to yield to the leader.  They receive pain and wounds and they are worn out
and weary trying to go their own way, pulling away from and against the yoke.  
“Some even try to follow an ox that is yoked to another instead of yielding to their own  yoke-fellow.  You cannot follow the
ones you see walking around you.  You must yield to the one you are yoked to – the unseen partner at your side – Jesus.  Just
yield and follow the leader.  Then you will mature as you learn to walk in step with the lead ox in the yoke.  
“Those who are mature in Me know My ways from being yoked to Me, from yielding to My leadership and following Me in all
ways.  Those new to the Kingdom, newly in Christ are like that new ox.  All must learn the yoke, learn the ways of God.  The
leader is responsible to carry the weight of the load, to take the burden, to lead the way, to make it as easy as possible for
that new young one - while the new one is learning to follow . Then they can truly shoulder the load together and share the
burden.
“My yoke is easy and My burden is light as you stay yielded to My ways, My leadership.  As you do you will grow and become
enabled to help others bear their burdens as I lead you.”

There Is Purpose In the Anointing
I do not anoint My ministers for ministry in order to give you thrills and chills.  There is always a purpose for the anointing – to
break yokes, to set people free, to bring healing or to speak forth My word for the moment.
I have called each of you individually to close intimacy with Me.  You are not to be satisfied in seeing someone else’s intimacy
with Me; you are not to derive vicarious thrills and excitement through observation of another’s relationship with your God.
This is not My plan for you.  Just as you are not to be satisfied or look for excitement through watching other people’s private -
intimate moments.  Are you happy only to see someone else in love?  Are you satisfied to see other's happy intimate
moments?
Don’t chase prophets or seers, nor teachers; don't chase after power with signs and wonders.  Do not chase after people
who know how to be intimate with your God.   Chase after Me- yourself. And you will see My power, you will hear My voice,
you will experience My glory.   Develop your own intimacy with Me.  Don’t look to spend time with those who live close to Me –
make time - spend time with me, live close to Me, seek Me, seek My presence – spend the time with Me and you will come
into the depth of relationship that I have called you to.
I require you to make the effort, to do the work that is necessary to develop a close; loving and sharing love walk with the
Lover of your soul, Jesus, and with Holy Spirit, your constant companion, and with your Father, God.  You are not to be content
with the little excitement that you might get from seeing someone else walk in the power that comes through that intimacy.  
Develop your own relationship with Me.  Come into My presence.  Live in My word.  Read it, absorb it.  Let Me speak to you
through My word and by My Spirit.
Don’t be willing to live enjoying the thrills of the overflow of someone else’s love walk.  Don't be content to be a spectator.  
Don't just watch while others move in the anointing.  Come to Me.  Come in worship.  Come just to sit in My presence.  This is
a new day. Listen.  Listen closely for My voice, to My words.

Blessed Through the Word
“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of
mockers.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.  He is like a tree planted by
streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does prospers.”  Ps. 1:1- 3 NIV

Yes, My children, it is important with whom you choose to keep company, whom you surround yourselves with and whom you
seek out to spend time with.
It’s important what you read – because it influences your thinking and your behavior.  And it’s equally important what you take
in through your eyes - you watch on TV or in movies.
Stay in, abide in the Word of God, meditating on it day and night.  Your fruitfulness (or lack thereof) will reveal how well you
have done at choosing your company and in meditating on the Word of God.
As you choose My Word over the voice of the world, as you choose to spend time with My children, choose them as your
companions you will become like trees planted by the river of living water bringing forth fruit in season, keeping your leaves
(health and growth) all year round, not withering, not dying – and seeing success in all you do.

"May you be filled with the knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that you may walk worthy of the
Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might,
according to His glorious power..."  Col. 1:9-11a

Prepare - Like a Duck
God spoke to me one day concerning our need to prepare ourselves in our daily life.  I had been reading about putting on our
armor, and about putting on Jesus, as well as studying Romans. As I pondered these scriptures, the Lord spoke to me about
not allowing the cares of the word, temptations, problems, trials to get to us.  He reminded me of the old adage, “like water off
a duck’s back”.  Holy Spirit spoke this to me:
“If you will take the Word and use it like the oil the duck uses to waterproof itself, then the things of this world, the things the
enemy brings against you will not stick, they will not weigh you down, they will roll off you like water off a duck’s back.  Be as a
good duck.  Use the Word as oil.  As you read and study and take My word into your heart and mind it is like the duck rubbing
his feathers with oil.  You are insulating yourself against the waters that would threaten to overflow you.  You are waterproofing
yourself against the waters of adversity.”
“My children are in danger of becoming, waterlogged and sick.  Just as a duck needs to stay in or near the water, you must
stay in the water of My word to keep yourselves clean.  You must pray unceasingly to remain full of the oil of the Spirit, stay out
of the mud, it will draw out the oil, and stay free of every thing that would attach itself to you to draw out your oil, to weigh you
down, to get under your skin and cause you irritation.  Keep yourself clean; keep yourself oiled with My Word.  Keep yourself
free of parasites.  
“Be like the duck – purposefully apply My word to every area of life, purposefully keep yourself clean and free of anything that
would sap your strength and weigh you down.  Then when the waters of adversity or the water of affliction come, when you
walk through waters so deep you think you will be overcome, when you are in peril of water – it will run off like water off a duck’
s back.  You will not sink, you will not drown, you will be able to swim above the turbulence and waves of turmoil.  
“The words of your enemies will roll on off without finding their mark.  No matter how painful the words are, whether distorted
truth or false, when spoken in strife or in secret they will roll off without weighing you down, without attaching to you to draw you
down.  Instead of taking offense, you can choose to let things slide off you like water off a duck’s back.”

Behind the word:
At the time Holy Spirit began speaking to me about ducks I knew only that ducks are not born “waterproofed”.  They must
make the effort – do the work themselves to make the waterproof barrier.  They must purposefully do this. They must take the
oil from a gland on their back and spread it around on all their feathers to accomplish this. Otherwise they could become
waterlogged  - which can cause sickness or cause them to sink and even drown.
Today when the Lord reminded me of this word - I did a little research on ducks.   I learned something very interesting. Ducks
need to keep their feathers in top condition to protect themselves against water-logging while swimming, or during wet
weather because feathers keep the ducks warm and allow them to fly.
The way they keep their feathers in good swimming and flying condition is by preening.  A part of the preening process is
combing their feathers with their beaks to remove scales and parasites, as well as using their heads and their bills to reach
around on their backs under their wings to their “preening” gland which produces the oil and then rubbing their head and beak
around this gland, collecting and then distributing the oil on all their clean feathers  - to waterproof them.  This keeps the
feathers shiny and allows water to run off in droplets – as the old saying goes,  ‘ rolls off like water off a duck’s back’
When things go wrong, the feathers become water-logged and no longer repel water. The duck becomes cold and miserable,
and then begins to avoid water – which then makes their condition worse.
I found there are four causes for ducks to lose their waterproofing: 1-living where there is not enough water to keep
themselves clean, 2- preening gland not producing enough oil, 3 - dirty, muddy feathers, and 4  - parasites (mites and lice)
which weigh the feathers down, and cause irritation, which in turn caused the duck to over-preen and shred his feathers.
Like the duck, I want to fly, to swim and to not let anything weigh me down.   Amen?

“I’m stirring up the gifts I’ve placed within you.  I’ve seen your hunger and thirst for more of My Spirit, for more of My power.  I
am indeed moving within you today.  My anointing is rich upon you.  Therefore, let it spring forth.  My word is in you.  It’s as a
sharp two-edged sword.  My grace will flow through you as you move to My stirring.”
" You’ve been saying in your heart, ‘I really want to do the right thing.’  But you also have some things down in your heart that
are not pleasing to Me.  You’ve been judging people.  You’ve had criteria that you have been measuring people by.  But I want
you to lay down your yardstick.  I want you to lay down everything you’ve used to judge people in religious ways and in what
they are doing.  
"You’ve been sitting in a corner waiting forMe. And now I sayto you, My Beloved, "Come out.  come out of your corner.  Move
out into the flowof My Spirit.  Move out into action.  It's time for you to begin to do thosethings that are in your heart to do.
“I have a release for you.  There is a release coming in the earth.  But there’s a release just for you.  I’m going to raise you up.  
You are going to spring forth.  You will move out of the place where you have been standing, out of the place where you have
been critical.  Every bit of criticism, every bit of judgment is to disappear from your life as you are now being released from
this place.  
“Begin now to see all people as I see them.  I’ve put My spirit on you and within you and you are going to see with new vision.  
There is a new vision coming to you.  And I have reserved some things for you.  There are mountains for you to climb.  There
are places for you to go.  There are things for you to accomplish in the Kingdom of God.
"I’m giving you a boldness, a boldness to witness to everyone round about you.  Because this is a new day of boldness for
you.  I’m giving you the tongue of the speaker so that you can speak the things of the righteousness of God.  You are going to
declare My works.  I have put great compassion in your heart.  I’m breaking away all prejudice against any people so that you
may see all of My children as one.  You will be able to see My hand is on you and to give you clear vision to see all of My
children in a new light.  You will see with godly vision.  I’m giving you the vision to see My people as I see them.
"Now My Beloved, submit to the stirring.  Yield to the vision.  Move out into the anointing.  Stir up the gifts I've placed within
you - and give them out.  That's what gifts are for - to give away.  Give love, give understanding, give the words of life, give
your witness of a changed life.  Give encouragement.  Give all that I have give you.  And you will receive more than you can
imagine as reward for giving My word and My love away."

DISOBEDIENCE AND SUFFERING – Jonah

“Don’t be like Jonah.  When I speak to you - run to carry out your assignment!  Yes, I am a gracious and merciful God.  But I
prefer obedience.  Obedience pleases Me.  Some of you are like Jonah, you don’t like the assignment I’ve given you.  It wasn’
t what you asked for.  It wasn’t what you expected.  And you have chosen not to obey.  Some of you are just sitting in the same
place doing nothing. Some of you like Jonah have run in the opposite direction!  
“Be aware that disobedience has consequences.  Running from the task that I’ve called you to carry out may result in great
trouble not only for you but for those around you as well.  And just as those on the ship with Jonah were made to suffer for his
disobedience others may suffer for your failure to obey.  
“Disobedience is rebellion.  Some of My children have moved into rebellion.  You are so far into denial of what I have spoken
that you have moved beyond a reluctance to obey and have moved in the other direction – away from the place that I am
sending you – going in the opposite direction!  You have moved into rebellion. Do you not know that when you move into
disobedience you move out of My blessing, and out of My presence?
“The darkness you encounter when moving in the wrong direction is not unlike what Jonah found in the belly of the fish.  
Darkness prevents vision.  You move out of the light and into darkness through your lack of obedience.  When you move into
the darkness you lose your spiritual sight – you can no longer see the path you are to follow.  You are groping in darkness and
wondering why you can’t find your way.  You are questioning why things aren’t working out the way you expected.  You are
questioning why you do not see the promises fulfilled, why you don’t receive the answer.  Get back to the light.   Repent for
disobedience, repent for neglect of My Word and get back in the light.  
“Do you not know that neglecting to obey, procrastination and delay are all forms of disobedience?  Fear of rejection, fear of
discord, fear of non-acceptance will keep you from My promises and cause you to walk in disobedience.  Are you
uncomfortable?  Have you lost the vision?  Do not fear.  Trust Me!  Trust Me without fear.  Move back into the light of My
presence through repentance.  Get ready to go to the place you’ve been avoiding.  Get ready to go where you have not
chosen to go –get ready to move in obedience to Me.
"Yes! I am a God of grace.  Yes I keep My ear tuned to your prayers.  But I call you to obedience.  I call you to repentance so
that you may obey fully.   Repent.  Accept My forgiveness.  Accept My love.  And accept the assignment I've given you.  Walk
in My grace and My love and carry out your assignment.  You cannot see the end from the beginning.  I see it all because I
AM.  You cannot see the importance of your assignment.  Trust Me - it is important.  Run to carry it out.  
“Don’t take another path. Don’t go in the opposite direction to that which I’m calling you.  Don’t look for another assignment.
Move in obedience to My Word to you.  Accept the assignment for this day and this hour.  Go on to your Nineveh and deliver
My Word to the people.  Go – in trust.  Go relying on Me to go with you every step”

CHANGE

“Change is the order of the day.  My plan for you involves continuing change.  There is always more to be changed, always
new things to begin; and there are always old things to lay aside.  All you need do is cooperate with Me.  Be open and willing
to change and I will accomplish My work within you, through you and in your life.
“You will see changes take place inwardly even as the outward changes are occurring.  Just as in the process of moving from
one home to another you rid your home of things that you no longer need, things that just take up space and collect dust, and
just as you spend time cleaning the new home in preparation to moving into it, there is a cleansing taking place within and
without now in your life.  I am doing a parallel work in your spiritual house.  There are things in your life that you no longer
need.  I am already beginning to show you the things you need to rid yourself of - things that you no longer need.  
“Some things are given to you only for a season and then they are no longer necessary.  Let go of all those things that were
good for a season but are not needed for this time in this place.  Be sensitive to My Spirit, let Me reveal all that needs to go.  
There are things in your life that still look good.  But they no longer serve a purpose in your life.  Don’t hold on to them just
because they look good and had a purpose.  
“There are also gifts I’ve given you to use for My glory that you have put on a shelf and neglected.  Now is the time to bring out
those gifts and use them to bring people to Me.  This is a time of stirring, a time of deep change.  Stir up the gifts I’ve given
you to use in a new way in this new day.  Open yourself up to the Wind of My Spirit.  Let a clean wind blow through all that you
are and all that you possess.  Get rid of the cobwebs and dust of idleness.   Open up and let the Light of My Word and My
Glory in.   With boldness, step into your position, and complete your assignments.
“As one who leaves his law practice to become an apple grower has no need of a law degree and while he was a lawyer he
had no need of a plow, you need only what is useful in your assignment at this time. This requires great change. Lay down the
credentials, and tools of the past to take up the tools needed for today’s assignment.
“ Do a cleansing work using the water of the Word.  Take My word and apply it to all that I reveal to you that is in need of a
cleansing work.  As I reveal an area of your life that you have allowed to sit idle and collect dust – clean it out, dust it off and
put it to use or get rid of it – I will guide you step by step in this process of cleaning, and sorting out for use or for discard if no
longer needed.  Do not be afraid to let the light in the dark corners, to get the dust out to reveal what is underneath, and to
clean what you need to hold onto and to get rid of all that is not pleasing to me, and all that is no longer necessary.  I will do
the work if you will present yourself as a vessel ready to be emptied out, cleansed, and polished for My use and My glory.  
This is a time of change.”

Focus on Jesus Alone

As I have packed and moved and now am in the process of unpacking and getting my new home in order, I have not had the
time to write in my journal, I have had less time in the Word, less time in prayer.  It has been very difficult to keep my mind
stayed on God in the midst of all the chaos of moving.
But the Lord spoke something to me in the middle of my divided attention and scattered activities, as I came in from the
bright sunshine outside, at first I couldn’t see anything at all.  Then no matter where I looked all I could see was the bright light
of the sun.  It took a while for my eyes to readjust to the dim light inside so that I could see the furnishings in the room.    Holy
Spirit spoke to my heart,

“Even when all seems dark, I am still there and you will be able to see the light of the Son of God in all that you encounter.  
When you have been exposed to the bright and shining light of the glory of God you will continue to see the Son of God in all
your circumstances and situations.  Even as it appears dark, remember I am here.  I am in the darkness, as well as the light.  
Look for Me. I brought you to this place as surely as I led you to Florida.  Don't back up. Don't sit down and do nothing
because you don't know many people here.  Just open yourself to My Holy Spirit and be led by Him in all things.  Do as you
are instructed.  Do what needs to be done at the right time and you will see glorious blessings - manifestations of My power,
speaking for My word. You are going to see healings take place here -as you have not seen before.
”Never give in, never give up, never lay down in resignation.  Stay on the job of spreading the good news and look for thinks to
happen.  Keep your focus on Me and you will see things in the spirit that you have missed in the past.  Just keep on - keep
going, keep doing what you hear the Father say.   
I was reminded of the pictures – some that are in black and white relief – almost like a negative of a photograph - which while
just looking at it’s hard to see what it is - but after staring at it for a matter of minutes, when you look away you see the picture
superimposed on whatever you look at.  I’ve seen several that are a picture of Jesus, some that were the name JESUS.  After
staring at the picture for a minute then you see Jesus everywhere you look.
God spoke again,  
“If you look closely, you can see Me in every circumstance.  If you have focused on me you will be able to see Me in everything
that comes your way, even in the midst of  struggles and hardships, while going about completely your every day tasks, while
doing your job, even while moving -relocating, resettling and finding new ways in a new place – look for Me.  I am in every
situation.
“Keep your inward focus on Me and you will see me outwardly in all around you.  I am in the smallest details of life.  I am here
with you in this new place just as I have been with you in the past.  I am in the move.  I am in the changes.  If My people will
stay focused on Me they will be enabled to see Me everywhere.”

For Such a Time as Now

The gifts I’ve place within you are for a time such as now.  The calling and anointing on your life is for this time.  You have seen
only a tiny speck of the anointing and power to minister until now.  You have experienced only a small taste of what is to be
manifest now.  It will unfold before you as you yield yourself in obedience to Me, in obedience to My word.
Just as the farmer reaps a harvest of the seeds he has planted, so now you are ready to see the harvest of the seeds you
have planted in My name; and you will see a harvest of the seeds I have planted within you.  Those things that have seemed
dormant and dead and you thought they would never live, never produce fruit.  Now the time of fruitfulness is here and the
harvest is coming.
Many of you have been in a desert place.  I have had you there for My purpose and plan.  It has been a time of growth and a
time of strengthening.  You have grown strong in the desert.  There was only a faint trickle of water coming to you.  But now I
am opening the floodgates.  You will see a floodtide, a flood tide to overflow the desert, to cover the valley, to refresh and
renew.
It is time to speak forth My truth in power as never before.  You will see signs of My presence and My glory as never before.  
Do not add to or take away from the words that I give you to speak.  My people, the world is waiting for, longing for the truth -
the pure word of truth.  The world is waiting to see the power of love and the power of truth - not just spoken but lived out in
reality.  Now is the time.  Live a life borne of love and speak in the power of truth.  The time of release is here.

RESTORATION IS AT HAND

The time of your trial is coming to an end.  The time of restoration of My people is at hand.  I, the Lord of Heaven and earth,
will restore all that has been lost; I will restore all the enemy has stolen, and all that the locust has eaten.  I am beginning now
to restore and rebuild.  This is a time of building, a time of birthing.  A time of renewal and a time of awakening.  
I am raising up a people, a people whose reputation will be one of love, peace, joy, kindness and compassion – love above
all else. My people will be a people who will be known for what seem to be contradictions.  Remember that My ways are not
your ways.   I am raising up My people to be known for power - the power of miraculous answers to prayer, the power of love
that transcends all odds and all opposition, the power of peace in the midst of storms, and the power of gentleness in the face
of brutality, the power of forgiveness when man cries out for vengeance and the power of mercy when mercy is undeserved
and unasked for.  
Those who have been through the trials of affliction, those who have been through the wilderness, those who have hidden in
the cave, those who have quietly sat before me, and those who have consistently sought My way are now being brought forth.  
They are coming to the forefront.  They do not look like warriors.  They do not appear to be armed for battle.  But what
appears to be weakness is the strength that comes from a deep abiding trust in Me and Me alone.  My people are armed for
the battle ahead.  They are fit for battle having been through arduous training and meticulous preparation.   Yes, My people
are strong through their faith and trust in Almighty God, the One True God.
Because you have endured patiently, believing in My Name, holding to My truth, because you have chosen to serve Me,
because you have waited for My answer to come – you shall receive the promise.
Do not be timid; do not be dismayed.  Boldly step forth to follow Me as never before.  Follow closely.  Boldly declare My
word.  Boldly stand in faith and see the fulfillment of My promises.  Restoration is at hand.  This is a new season.  New
ministries will be birthed in this season.  Those who have been unknown will now be known as they step forth in the power of a
fresh anointing.  Those who have been held back are now being released.  The old ways that men have devised are falling
away.  Be ready to step into My way, the way of love and of power, the way of holiness and purity.  Restoration is at hand.  
Your time has come.

KEEPING POWER

Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand without blemish in the presence of His glory with
rejoicing, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time
and now and forever.  Amen.  Jude 24

“As you see some walk away from following after Me do not confuse rebellion in their hearts with any weakness on My part.  I
am well able to keep those who are Mine. I know those whom I have called and chosen, those who have answered the call to
come to Me. And I know who has chosen to become My love slave. I know your heart. I know the depth of your desire for Me. I
know the depth of your desire and longing to please Me and I say to you: ' I look at your heart.  I am pleased with the heart that
seeks Me above all else.'  
"This is not an accidental thing.  My children do not leave My path unaware.  A choice is made to walk a path of their own
choosing rather than following the path I have set out for My people to walk.  And you are safe in My arms. You are safe under
the blood. No one can take you from My hands. Only your own rebellion against My will separates you from Me.
“You ask, what is rebellion?  How do I know if I am rebellious?  Rebellion is more than the prolonged, and continuing practice
of any sin, it is not just an outward act or behavior.  Rebellion is a heart condition.  Rebellion is born in the heart of the one
who says to himself,  'I don't think this is wrong.  I don't believe that God will be angry if I do this thing.'   Rebellion is saying  ' I
don't believe I will die if I eat of the fruit. I will do as I think is right and I will be alright.'   Rebellion is an attitude of mind -
thinking you know what is best for you and that you do not need My guidance.  Rebellion is thinking that even though it might
be wrong for others it will be all right for you do to.  
"And when you, My children do rebel I deal with you - even My wayward children - but I deal with you in Love.  You would not
allow any of your children to put their hand in the fire, or fall into a raging river without warning them of the danger.  I warn My
children of danger.  Am I not more than capable of keeping My beloved and chosen children from the temptations of the
enemy and the dangers of life?  And when one of My sheep stray away from the path I remain the Good Shepherd who knows
how to bring them back into the fold.   I never give up.  I continue to speak to those who are Mine to draw them back with My
love.
“ I AM the Father. I Am your Father. I AM your shelter. I Am your safety. Put all your trust in Me and not yourself.  Your
responsibility is to abide in me and in My Word.
“I say again to you, Trust in Me.  Believe Me.  Believe Who I am and what I am and believe in My keeping power.  Know, know
deep in your heart that you are being kept by My unfailing, unfathomable love.  You cannot understand My love but you can
rest it.  You can rest in it everyday in every situation, through every problem.  Rest in My unsearchable love and trust Me,
believe Me.”

Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.  For You have delivered my soul from death, my
eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.  Psalm 116:7-8
For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of day.  Psalm
56:13
He has now reconciled in His fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before
Him -- provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised b

I HAVE THE PATTERN

“You have heard My call.   You have answered My call.  But you do not yet understand My call upon your life.  For truly it is not
according to the world’s plan that I have called you.  My call on your life does not fit any pattern that you have seen in the world
or in the church.   
“Don’t let the titles you’ve been given keep you from hearing My instructions.  Don’t hold on to old mindsets and ways.  I have
My own divine plan for you.  I have called and ordained you to be a representative, an ambassador for the Kingdom of God.  
And it has been a difficult thing for you.  You have felt within yourself that you were not equipped for the job.  You have thought
that you could not do it because you didn’t know how - that you had no model to follow.  But I say to you, that I am your role
model.  I am your example.  Look to Me.  Look in My word and listen to My voice.  What you hear Me say, you can do.  What
you see in MY word you can do.  
“Be encouraged, for I am leading you step by step.  I am teaching you, line upon line and precept upon precept.  Those whom
I am placing in your path for you to minister to will grow and thrive just as you are growing and thriving.  
“You do not see all that is taking place in the spirit realm.  You do not see what is happening in your heart and the hearts of
those who are with you.  But much is changing; much is taking place that is exactly according to My plan and design for you.  
Take heart.  Be encouraged.  All is well.  You are moving according to My plan.  You are growing at a wonderful rate.  I am
well pleased with what I see in you, My children.
"Keep seeking Me.  Seek Me as never before.  Let me direct your way, your every step.  Let Me show you the truth of My
word.  Let Me reveal the next step.  let Me give you the pattern.  I have the pattern.  I AM the pattern.  
"This is more than getting on an elevator with Me to ride up to another level - this is 'get on board with Me and let me take you
to a new place'. Come on - into the promises.  Come on - out of the wilderness - into the place of promise with Me."

CAN YOU LAY DOWN WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW TO FIND TRUTH?

My children,
I have heard you’re prayers.  You’ve prayed and asked me for truth, you’ve asked for understanding, you’ve asked for
wisdom.  And I want to talk to you.  But sometimes what I want to talk to you about is not what you are asking me about.  I
desire to give you My truth.  I will give you wisdom to walk by.  I will give you understanding of My Word and My ways.
But first you must be willing to lay aside all that you think you know, to lay aside all that you think you’ve learned.  Lay aside
what you’ve heard others preach and teach.  Lay aside your pet doctrines and theories.  Lay aside all your pre-conceived
ideas and all your self-taught methods.  Even lay aside what you know that you have heard from Me.  So that I may give you
My truth fresh for today, fresh for you.
You don’t need half-truths, or distorted truths, distorted through being mixed with man’s opinions.  You don’t need men’s
ideas, thoughts, opinions or beliefs.  You need the Truth.  You long for My Truth in your innermost being.  And I want to give it
to you.
Be willing to lay down what you have now and listen to Me for fresh truth.  Seek Me through My scriptures, through your time in
worship, in intimate communion with Me and I will open your heart and your mind to My Truth.  Truth that I desire for you to
walk in, to live in, to practice.
No one who has ever walked this earth has the whole truth or all understanding of My truth – except My Son, Jesus.  All others
continue to struggle with the mind of flesh - with their own ideas, their emotions, and their experiences mixed in with their
understanding of My Word of My Truth. Do not put your trust in man and what man says.  Put your trust in Me and My Word
Don't be satisfied to hear what someone else has heard from Me.  Seek Me yourself and hear My voice speak to you for your
life and your problems.  I will show you how to apply My Word to every situation in life and how to share it with others.  Don't be
satisfied with what others teach from their study - study so that you may know that you may speak with confidence in My word.
I say to you, ‘Seek My heart in sweet fellowship and I will lead you into My truth.  I will give you understanding as you seek My
face.  Seek to know me to really know Me and I will speak My heart to you.  Seek My presence and you will find the wisdom
that dwells within Me.  Seek Me, My child and learn of Me.

2. Timothy 2;15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of truth.
2 Tim. 2;15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth.  NKJV

SIT AT MY FEET

You are over burdened; you are carrying a heavy load that I never meant for you to carry.  It is not my will for you to be
burdened down with the cares of life.  It is not my will for you to be burdened with the cares of others.  I long for you to listen to
My voice and do my will, not run after and fulfill others people’s wishes and the demands that they put upon you.  
You are running around seeking to please the one who is complaining and expecting you to take care of yet another problem.  
Others want to lead you around.  They want to determine how you spend your time and your energies.  But, that I is not what I
created you for.  That is not my desire for you.  I have plans for you.  I want to reveal those plans to you.  As you seek Me for
refreshing and renewal you will see more and more of My truth for your life.
My precious one, do not allow people to press you and push you, and burden you with their needs and their wishes.  You truly
are not responsible for their needs.  Let them seek Me, if they do not understand how to work out their problems for
themselves.  Do not be the scapegoat, do not be the slave of people who wish to use you.  That is not the way I have for you.  
And that is not being broken bread for the hungry and poured out wine for the thirsty of soul.  
I have a much greater design for you and your life.  And you are on the threshold of entering into a new phase of your life and
your calling that will be very different from where you have yet walked.  You are on the threshold of the door to that
“extraordinary” walk that I have for you.  Do not be deceived by the enemy of your soul.  He will attempt to distract you and
sidetrack you and get you off course.  But I will that you not allow him to do that.  I am drawing you closer to Me and closer to
My perfect will for you.  
Do not despair over men’s reactions.  Be not intimidated any longer.  Fear Me and Me alone.   Desire to please Me and Me
alone.  Do not worry or fret over what men will say.  Do not concern yourself with anyone’s reactions.  Just seek My face, seek
My presence, and seek to please Me and be available to Me.  Let me truly be first in your life.
Do not be a “Martha”, always fretting about what needs to be done and feeling responsible for everyone in the house.  Be a
“Mary” and sit at My feet and find My heart and soak in My love and My presence.  Then you will be filled and fulfilled and
enabled to go forth to do what I ask of you.  Become more Mary and less Martha.  And let all those who are vying for your
attention, who are competing for your attentions, to find their fulfillment in seeking Me and finding true satisfaction and
happiness in Me.

The name for a thing reveals the character of the thing.  Do not accept any substitute for the real thing.  Stay alert for anything
that purports to be one thing but is something else entirely.  Look out for those things that look good but are mere imitations.  
Be on guard for  everything that masquerades as good and holy but is anything but.  Do not be fooled by mere imitations.  Do
not be satisfied with what might seem pleasant for a moment but is far from the best that I have chosen for you.

YOU’VE SEEN NOTHING YET – THE FIRE IS COMING

You have cried out for revival.  You have cried out for a harvest.  Your prayers have been going up around the world - calling
out for the fire of revival, the cleansing of renewal.  The renewal and revival and the harvest you have longed for and cried out
for is now beginning.  It is beginning in the prayer room, in the prayer groups.  I am in the intercession.  And through your
prayers and petitions, your tears and your longing it is being birthed now.  You are birthing revival. I am now moving – in your
prayer meetings, in your coming together to seek Me.
You will see the fire of God in your midst.  I am expanding your prayer groups.  I’m bringing in others - to first repent and then
to feast in your midst.  You say, ‘I’ve heard that before.’  But I AM says to you, ‘It is now’.  The time is now for my holy purifying,
cleansing fire.  It is time.  It is time for turning and repentance.  It is time for purifying and sanctifying.  It is time for putting
useless things aside and for setting yourself apart to Me.
I am using my intercessors, My prayer warriors, to usher in the revival.  It is starting with you – those who stand in the gap and
cry out for change, cry out for the fire of My Spirit.  This revival begins within you – and through you.
The unexpected is coming.  When you think you are gathering together to pray I will meet with you in a new way.  An explosive
way.  An engulfing new way.  I am doing a new thing, in a new way.  It is beyond your expectations; it is above your
understanding.
Revival is here.  The fire is falling.  It is a holy fire.  Embrace the fire.  Embrace the change. Ask Me for fire.  Then yield
yourself to the cleansing fire and be changed for eternity.  When you have been in the fire you will be purified as never before.  
And you will go out full of fire and fired up to share the fire.  This is revival.  This is renewal.  Get in the position to pray.  Get
ready for the fire.  You will see what you have never seen before.  And you will be changed for all eternity.
The fire is coming.  It is time.

My children, I’m stirring;
I’m stirring and stirring and stirring and stirring
I’m stirring things up – I’m stirring many things up
I’m stirring you up;
I’m stirring and stirring and stirring.
It may look like trouble, but its Me stirring
It may look like problems – but its Me stirring
I’m stirring according to My plan.
I’m stirring and stirring and stirring
I’m revealing all that’s hidden as I’m stirring up things
I’m stirring and stirring and stirring.
I’m stirring you to seek Me
I’m stirring you to action
I’m stirring you to prayer
I’m stirring and stirring and stirring again
Some things are being removed in the stirring
Some things are being added to the mix
I’m stirring and mixing and blending
It may feel like agitation
Even though its blending
I’m mixing in grace
I’m stirring in My strength
I’m blending in My love
I’m stirring and stirring and stirring
I’m stirring you to obedience
And you are becoming a tool that I’m using to stir and stir and stir
I am going to use you to stir in the lives and situations of those about you
Some won’t like it
They don’t like being stirred
     and disturbed
But I’m stirring
I’m stirring you up
I’m stirring in you and through you
I’m stirring things up
I’m stirring.

THE BEGINNING OF NEW THINGS

This thing that has caused you to feel twisted and turned, pressed down is being broken it’s being broken off.  
The Lord is bringing you a new song, a joyful song, a song of victory.  You will find victory in many areas.  Places you’ve
struggled with, areas where it has seemed you could not hear from Me, where you have felt defeat.  That is now broken!  It is
broken - You are now on the verge of victory.  You are at the threshold of a new thing, a new place.  
There is some dusting off to be done, some shaking off to be done.
Dust off the dust of old ways, the old thought patterns, and dust off the staleness.
Shake off lethargy.  Shake off unrest.  
You say how can I be lethargic and anxious at the same time?
I say to you, My child, you have felt too tired too weary, too lethargic to move on to the next level.  Yet you have felt a restless
anxious unrest over a lack of progress.  I say the time of victory is here.
It is time to move on – to move on up to a new level to a new place in Me, in the Spirit.
Your ministry is about to take a new direction.  You will begin to hear things that sound unfamiliar.  You will question, “Lord is
that You?”   You have already wondered about some things that I have spoken to you.  You were thinking, “Could this really be
the Lord?”   I am giving you a resounding “yes”!   
I am asking you to move into a new dimension with Me.  Come closer to Me than ever before.  Come not just into My
presence but into My open arms.  I have new things to speak to you.  New things for you speak to My Body.  New things for
you do, to live and to teach to others.  I will speak these things in the place of intimacy in spirit.  When you commune with Me
spirit to Spirit I will speak to you.
Stay close to Me.  Come back to the place of intimacy with Me.  I’m preparing My Bride.  And yes, you are a part of My Bride
but you also have a part in the preparations.  First learn to be a Bride.  Listen carefully.  It is difficult for men to learn to be a
Bride.  Yield yourself to Me completely – choose to let Me have My way with you and in you and you will find joy that you have
never known in this new closeness with Me.  Let Me show you the depth of My love, the depth of My passion for My people.  
Come close and rest – leaning wholly on Me.
Your assignment is not over – it is changing.   Don’t resist the changes that I am bringing to you.  Embrace My changes.  
Embrace Me.  
Open you heart and your mind.  Open you eyes and I will show you what I am about to do.  Open up and receive this new thing
that I am doing. Open up to change.  You will find much to rejoice in, much to sing over.  You will find yourself walking in victory
over things that have plagued you.  And that is only the beginning.  Stay tuned.  There is more to come.

TIME FOR PURIFICATION
"My Child,
"In order to walk in the place I’m calling you to walk, in order to fulfill the call and walk in your destiny, there are some things
that you must lay aside.  
"There are things in your heart that you have not released fully to Me.  They have become weights that will hold you back.  
There are people you must forgive.  There are ideas, and thought processes that have become as old familiar habits that you
no longer notice.  I’m calling you to give them up, place them in My hands.  
"I Am will bring healing, restoration, deliverance and a fresh anointing as you begin to release these things to Me.  
"Come to a quiet place with Me and seek My counsel, seek My wisdom and allow Me to reveal these hindrances one by one.  
Then you may bring them to Me one by one.  As you release people and ideas that are not of Me, doctrines that are not of
Me, you will find release.  
"The path I’ve chosen for you to walk requires purity, requires holiness and integrity.  You must be whole and complete in Me
in order to minister the truth I want you to minister.  This is a call to death, death of self, death of fleshly pursuits and desires,
death to comparing yourself to others – death to all that is not of Me.
"Come.  Come into My Holy Chamber and sit with me awhile.  Let us commune together.  I have things to show you.  I have
things to reveal to you.  But we must start with the weights that hinder, the baggage from the past that must be cast away.  
Come and find sweet release.  Then you well be able to pick up your assignment and begin to walk in the path chosen for you.
"Come away for a meeting with Me – just you and I – for a special time of communion. Come and offer your love, your
willingness, your worship to me and allow Me to refresh you in spirit, soul and body.  My love for you is far beyond your
comprehension. Come let Me give you a taste of My great love and My wonderful peace."

RELEASE BRINGS HEALING
My Child,
Release it to Me. Release every worry, every concern.  Release every wound to Me.  Release and forgive those who are
unkind and uncaring.  Forgive everyone involved in this in any way.  Release them into My hands.  I will deal with them in My
way in My time.  As you release them, as you forgive and let it go, lean back into Me.  Get close enough to hear My
heartbeat.  As you begin to get in rhythm with My heartbeat you will receive a fresh infusion of My grace.  I will give you grace
in your speech so that as you speak to people - even those you are at odds with - they will hear something in your voice that
will cause them to give you favor.  They won’t recognize that what they hear is My grace and My anointing.  They will just begin
to act with favor towards you without understanding what they are doing or why they are doing it.
Lean back, rest in Me.  Trust Me to handle this problem for you.  I delight when you bring Me your problems.  Come to Me with
your problems as quickly as you do in rejoicing and praise.  I want to be in the center of your life in every aspect, the good and
the bad.  Release this problem into My hands.  Release the people involved into My hands, and lean into Me in complete trust
and you will see victory.

GARDEN WALLS
Inside my heart a garden, walled and closed
Hidden deep within
In my soul a spring, shut off
A fountain of beautiful waters
Alive and bubbling in my soul
A spring longing to burst forth
With living, loving, healing waters
Welling up within, seeking full release
Deep inside my heart, sweet fragrance
Of the tender captive blossoms
Holding their thought seed
The promise of fruit to come
Full of beauty hidden from view
Behind the walls

Then came One who held the key
One who brought down the walls
Throwing open the gates
Revealing the beauty within
He rolled away the stone
Allowing the stream to flow

My Beloved has come to His garden in me
And released its pleasant fruit.


Song of songs 4:12-15
You are a garden, locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.  Your plants are an orchard of
pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense
tree, with myrrh and aloes, and all the finest spices.  You are a garden fountain a well of flowing water streaming down from
Lebanon.

TIME FOR ADJUSTMENTS

“Your Father is making some adjustments in you.  He is doing some fine-tuning.  He’s working as a mechanic does to make
adjustments to your car when needed.  Sometimes, in your travels the car is running fine and then without warning there is a
problem.  It looks fine.  It seems fine.  Then when you least expect it, it begins coughing and sputtering and it almost stops.  It’
s running rough.  And sometimes it will flounder and die.
“You have been moving along in your spiritual journey thinking all is well.  Everything seems fine.  All looks well.  But you have
allowed the fuel to get too low and caused condensation in the tank which will cause rough operation.  You have allowed your
spiritual fuel – the power of My Word working by My Spirit – to get low.  Then the waters of the storm came and there was
water mixed in the fuel and is causing some problems.  
“You have tried to make your own hybrid fuel with your human reasoning and knowledge blended with your spiritual
knowledge and it was not good.  You let My fuel – designed to keep you going easily, get too low and the trash of human
thinking that had settled to the bottom of the tank was then stirred up and mixed in and is causing more problems.
“So adjustments are now being made.  The water/fuel mixture has to be drained and the fuel lines cleared.    The fuel lines
must be clean and water free.  Some fittings have to be adjusted.  And like a new filter being installed in your vehicle, I am
doing a work in you to help you filter out all that is not of Me - not My fuel.  Then you can refuel and move on with smooth-
running, no-problem fuel.  I have been stirring up the trash that you have allowed to settle inside so that you can see what
problems it causes when not dealt with.  Now that you can see what is there it is much easier to remove.  Your repentance
does much in draining out the old and your obedience cleans out all the lines so My fuel can flow freely to give you the power
you need to go on.
“Submit to My adjustments.  Submit to these changes even though it may mean some down time.  Don’t be concerned with
how long it takes, or the cost.  It will be worth it.  You will see a vast difference after these adjustments are made.  Rejoice in
being fine-tuned and cleaned out.  You will see great benefits.”

FEAR GOD NOT MAN
My children,
Be still, be still and listen for what I want to say.  
You are over burdened; you are carrying a heavy load that I never meant for you to carry.  It is not my will for you to be
burdened down with the cares of life.  It is not my will for you to be burdened with the cares of others.  I long for you to be
listening to My voice and doing my will, not running after and fulfilling the needs, wishes and demands that other people want
to put upon you.  
You are running around seeking to please the one who is complaining the most, and the one expecting you to take care of yet
another problem.  Others want to lead you around.  They want to determine how you spend your time and your energies.  But,
that is not what I created you for.  That is not my desire for you.  I have plans for you.  I want to reveal those plans to you.  As
you seek Me for refreshing and renewal you will see more and more of My truth for your life.  Seek Me for My direction and
follow it to success.
My precious one, do not allow people to press you and push you, and burden you with their needs and their wishes.  You truly
are not responsible for their needs.  Help them seek Me, help them find My answers, pray for them.  But do not take on the
responsibility for their problems.  Do not attempt to solve them yourself.  Do not be the scapegoat, do not be the slave of
people who wish to use you.  They will use you up.  That is not the way I have for you.  And that is not being broken bread for
the hungry and poured out wine for the thirsty of soul.  
I have a much greater design for you and your life.  And you are on the threshold of entering into a new phase of your life and
your calling that will be very different from where you have yet walked.  You are on the threshold of the door to that
“extraordinary” walk that I have for you.  I call ordinary people to do extraordinary things - in out of the ordinary ways. Do not be
deceived by the enemy of your soul.  He will attempt to distract you and sidetrack you and get you off course.  But I will that
you not allow him to do that.  I am drawing you closer to Me and closer to My perfect will for you.  
Do not despair over men’s reactions.  Be not intimidated any longer.  Fear Me and Me alone.   Desire to please Me and Me
alone.  Do not worry or fret over what men will say.  Do not concern yourself with anyone’s reactions.  Just seek My face, seek
My presence, and seek to please Me and be available to Me.  Truly put Me first in your life.
Do not be like “Martha”, always fretting about what needs to be done and feeling responsible for everyone in the house.  Be a
“Mary” and sit at My feet and find My heart and soak in My love and My presence.  Then you will be filled and fulfilled and
enabled to go forth to do what I ask of you.  Become more Mary and less Martha.  And you will find the strength and ability to
do all the Martha duties. And let all those who are vying for your attention, who are competing for your attentions, find their
fulfillment in seeking Me and finding true satisfaction and happiness in Me. I can solve their problems and teach them a better
way- if they will seek Me.  So lift them up to Me. Pray for them to turn to Me, put them in My hands and leave them there while
you pray.

PRODIGALS TO PRIESTS

“Nothing takes Me by surprise.  I was not caught unaware by these events.  Your children are under my care and provision.  I
have heard all your prayers.  I have stored up those prayers and I am honoring them.  Your children are not out of My care.  
They are still under my grace and My authority.  You see prodigals, I see priests in the making.
"You can do much to assist in the work of bringing others closer to their destiny.  Lift up your children in prayer.  Bring them
before My throne of grace, laying out their needs before Me.  Believe My Word is true: I will complete the work that I have
begun in the lives and hearts of your children.  
"Do not worry about this situation.  Do not take responsibility for what has happened or for the outcome, for what is to come.  
Do not take on blame for things you have no control or influence over.  But fully rest in Me; allow Me to continue to do My work
in each life, in a child and parent’s life and in your own life.  Believe Me.  Believe Me.
"Believe My word and My promises to you.  I am sending My people into the life of each one who has strayed from My path.  I
am choosing and sending those across their path who will lift Me up and exemplify My love and My grace and My favor.  I am
drawing them to Me.  Believe that the prodigal can return to the Father to receive his inheritance.
"Do not waver or despair.  Trust Me to do all that is necessary to change their path and redirect their steps as I draw them by
My Spirit.  Trust Me.  Believe that My love and My grace are sufficient and will carry you and your children and their children
where I am leading.”
“You must walk by faith and not by sight.  No matter what you see in the natural, or how bad it looks, don’t be discouraged.  
Keep your faith in My ability to guide you and help you.  As you study and meditate on My Holy Word, I will lead you.  I will give
you wisdom to live by and to teach your children, to demonstrate for the world to see.  
“Do not be discouraged.  Seek Me and My ways through your prayers and study of My Word.  Trust Me to show you the root
of the problem.  I will reveal what is behind the problem, behind this behavior so that you may pray effectively and walk in
wisdom. Walk by faith and do not fret over what you see.”
“Pray everyday.  Pray for your family – touch them often and pray for them. Pray over every troubling situation or problem you
see them encounter.  Expect Me to show you everything you need to do.  Allow what is happening to draw them and you
closer to Me.  Seek Me about every detail of your lives.  And trust Me to show you what you need to - do as you need to.”

For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.  Acts
2:39 NRSV
All your children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the prosperity of your children.  Is. 54:13 NRSV

OPENING NEW DOORS
As I was reading Is. 22:22 the Lord spoke to me:

“I will give you keys to open doors.  You will open doors as I lead you by My Spirit that no man can shut.  There have been
times that you began to open doors to release the gifts I’ve placed within you and the enemy came against you to close those
doors and to frighten you away from them.
“I say to you today, do not be afraid, do not tremble with timidity but walk in the boldness of the assurance of My Spirit within
you, with the assurance of My calling upon your life.  Each door needs its own key.  There is not a "master" key to open every
door.  I have the keys for every door that I will bring you to.  Open doors as I point them out and then show you the key that you
need for each individual door.  Sometimes the calling on your life will be the key to open doors.  Sometimes the gifts within
you will open a door.  But sometimes you will need to do a different thing, a new thing that I will reveal as you need it.  That
“new thing” will be your key.  Use the key that I give you in each situation and walk into new areas of ministry, new areas of
influence.”
I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and no one shall shut; he shall shut, and no one shall
open.  Is. 22:22 NRSV

PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST

Pr. 24:27, 3-4, 30-34 AMP
27) [Put first things first] Prepare your work outside and get it ready for yourself in the field and afterward build your house and
establish a home.  3) Through skillful and godly wisdom is a house [a life, a home, and a family] built, and by understanding it
is established [on a sound and good foundation].  4) And by knowledge, shall the chambers [of its every area] be filled with all
precious and pleasant riches.
30) I went by the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding, 31) and lo, it was all grown over
with thorns, and nettles had covered its face and its stone wall was broken down, 32) Then I beheld and considered it well.  I
looked and received instruction.

"First things first, My children.  Line up your priorities.  Do all the necessary preparation.  Study My Word, listen to My voice,
follow My Holy Spirit to show yourself approved.  Learn My ways.  Then build your house -  your spiritual house - and establish
your home.  This new spiritual home will be the place for you to dwell in peace.
"Your house, your life, your home is built through godly wisdom and understanding -  wisdom that I freely give to all who ask.  
Do things My way.  Use My holy word as your guide in all that you undertake to do.  Then you will have a firm foundation to
build upon.  My word and My ways are your foundation.  The solid Rock - Jesus the Living Word of God - He is your sure
foundation.
"Then fill your spiritual house and your life with all the precious riches of your Lord - peace, righteousness, love, joy, kindness,
purity, longsuffering, perseverance and gentleness.  And all your other needs will be met and you will walk in prosperity.
"The lazy person, through neglect, allows his yard to be overgrown, hedges and trees to grow out of control, broken fences,
porches falling down and walls in need of repair. There is "junk" in the surroundings of the lazy, things that do not seem
harmful in appearance but are unnecessary and distracting, even trash and garbage has been allowed to pile up, And inside
the house is every type of uncleanness, clutter and disarray.
"I, the Lord of Heaven and earth, say, 'Look at the ways of the lazy person and how through his slothful ways he allows poverty
to come upon his house and ends up with nothing and see this is not My way - seek to learn something of My ways.
"Work is required to earn a living.   Work is necessary to till a field and plant a crop to reap a harvest.   Work is needed to
clean out what has been allowed to collect through neglect.  Doing just enough to get by' will not bring prosperity.  It takes
more than 'sliding by' to walk in success and prosperity.  It requires diligence, a pursuit of excellence to become people of
integrity and honesty who walk in abundance of spirit, mind and body.  Where there is contentment in mediocrity there will be
poverty and lack.
"In this season of a new year, this first month, seek to truly put those things in first place that I call you to. Pursue Me. Pursue
My presence.  Pursue holiness.  Seek peace. Pursue excellence.   Apply these lessons to your spiritual home, to your life,
adhere to them in your relationship with Me.  In diligence study My Word and with humility receive My instructions and
direction by My Holy spirit.  Seek to please Me in all your ways, in all your plans - in all things.  Give Me honor and pursue My
ways with true diligence.  You will find this leads to success and prosperity for your spirit and your soul.  As you follow My
ways you will move with My Spirit.  
" Be watchful - when the cloud moves - follow.  Follow closely."

THE LIGHT OF LOVE AND TRUTH

“God has revealed Himself to you (to the world) through Jesus Christ – the light of the world, and the embodiment of Love –
so that you might have the light of Life within you by and through the presence of Holy spirit.  Your assignment is to let the
Light abide within and shine forth to others in order to bring glory and honor to the Father. In this way light is brought into the
lives of those around you.
“ Love for others is the sure sign and the evidence that My Spirit lives in you – that you are involved in close communion, close
fellowship with Me and walking in My love.  Love is the wick of the lamp from which your light will shine forth.  Holy Spirit
supplies the oil for your lamp.  Your love of others must be saturated with the oil of My Spirit.  When you are filled with My love
your flame will shine brightly for all around you to receive light by.
“Be My light in the world.  Be My light in your world.  In the place where you live, where you work, where you play, be My light
burning brightly to reveal My love and My truth.”

For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of
the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  2 Cor. 4:6  NRSV
For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light.  Live as children of light -- for the fruit of the light is found in all
that is good and right and true.  Eph. 5:8-9 NRSV

BACK TO THE BEGINNINGS

"My Children,
"As this new year unfolds and you make plans to begin anew in some areas of your life, I have some new ways for you.  I am
taking you back to the beginnings. I am restoring some things to My body.  I am bringing back a desire for purity and holiness
to the hearts of My children.  I desire that My children walk in reverence and awe of Who I am even as they come near to Me in
worship and adoration.  I will teach you how to love Me intimately without forgetting Who I am.  I will restore the open and
intimate fellowship of the garden to My people.  I am taking My children back to My original plan.
"Listen My children, listen.  I will restore all that the enemy has stolen from you, My chosen ones - the bride of Christ.  The
Bride will walk in the fullness of My plan, in the fullness of My destiny for you.  No longer are you to allow the enemy of God to
harass you and steal from you.
"It is time to return to My ways wholly, completely.  Seek Me with your whole heart.  I want My children to know the fullness of
who I Am. Come in closer so that I may reveal to you all that I Am.  You know a little of My Character, a little of My Justice, a
little of My Love, a little of My Grace and a portion of My Peace.  I want to show you more, much more.  And while I’m taking
you back to the beginning I will also do a completely new thing.
"I will now begin to bring you into a closeness and intimacy with your bridegroom that you have not known before.  And
through that intimacy I will speak to you, I will reveal My heart to you.  As you seek to remain close to Me you will see more
power than you have ever seen.   Signs and miracles, healings, restorations and resurrections will follow My people.  I will
demonstrate My power through My children for the world to see.  
"The time is now here for the world to see that I am the Most High God, creator of the universe.  I hold the power of life and
death, healing and fullness in My hand and I am pouring out of My power to My children."

(Here I saw (by the spirit) what appeared to be a giant glass beaker in the sky. It looked like those used in chemistry labs.  It
was filled to the brim and was beginning to tilt toward the earth and spill out its contents.  Both the glass beaker and the
contents were clear.)

"My chosen vessels are going to become transparent as you draw closer to Me in maturity, as you become transparent, you
will also become full of My power as never before – even greater than the first disciples of My son, Jesus.  You will lay hands
on the sick and see them healed and restored.  You will speak life and see life come forth.  You will touch those who are
wounded and hurting, sick and diseased and see them made completely whole, not just one or two, not just a few, but more
and more and more until you are astounded at what I am now doing.  It is both a return to the old, a restoration of what has
gone before and simultaneously a powerful move of My Spirit on the earth.  I will return the expectation of everything that I
have spoken to My people.  Begin to expect fresh new revelation, expect to walk in power, expect to see My hand move in the
earth even as I restore what has been lost.  
"Rise up in power and expectation.  Look back to My original plan, and expect to see it begin to come into place; look at the
first church; and expect to see things begin to line up with the pattern and then look ahead to the glorious new thing that I am
bringing to My church, to My people the Bride of Christ.  And expect to see wonderful new things happen in and through your
lives even as I restore and bring back the perfection of the beginning."

A DECLARATION OF FAITH/ PRAYER
FOR NEW BEGINNINGS AND NEW SEASONS

Dear Father God,
Thank you for salvation and hope, for a future, and for the past, for my life, for the joys and pain, the disappointments and
victories, without You it is all nothing; but with you, those things that seem so painful can be turned to good.  I re-dedicate
myself to You.  I confess that without You I can do nothing; but with you I can walk according to Your Word.  I confess and
appropriate Your Word in my life today.
I declare I will trust you with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding; I will acknowledge you in all my ways, knowing
You will direct my paths.  I determine to position myself to ride the next wave of Your Spirit, I will incline my ear to hear Your
voice and receive the new assignment You have for Me in this season.  By faith I will be ready for the changes You are
bringing to Your body.  By faith I will make the transition from the old to the new in Your time, according to Your plan.
I will count it all joy when I fall into temptations, into different trials, knowing that the trial of my faith brings patience and
endurance.  I will walk in hope, kept by grace.  By faith I declare that I will submit to Your plan, yield to Your Holy Spirit, submit
to Your discipline and receive Your grace.
I will not forsake meeting together with my brothers and sisters in the faith, so that we may encourage each other in these
hard days.
I will be subject to the government, knowing that You give laws and You set up the authority of government.
I will try to give to everyone that asks of me, I will try to do good to all people, lending, without expecting anything in return.  I
will try to meet their needs even before they ask if You will show me.
I choose to walk in love toward my fellow man.  I will love as You love, following the pattern of Your word.  I will offer
encouragement where needed.  I will speak the truth in love when called for and seek to please you above all.
I won’t seek what satisfies the flesh, for food, clothes, or drink, but instead I will seek to see Your Kingdom established here
on earth.  I will seek to follow You and Your ways.  I will seek to know You as I have never known You before.  I will seek to do
Your will and obey Your Word as I listen to Your voice.  I declare with faith in You and confidence in Your Word, that I will be a
beacon of light in the darkness,  a signpost pointing others to You and a testimony to Your mercy and grace, Your power and
Your great love.
I will regard praise not only as my duty but also as a privilege and an honor.  Whatever sacrifice it requires, I will praise You
continually and remember to walk in thanksgiving for all You provide.
When I fall short, I will turn to You and confess, knowing You are faithful and just to forgive and cleanse me.  Thank you Father,
for Your grace and Mercy, for Your truth and Your peace.  I seek to draw closer to You in even greater communion and
intimacy with You.  I present myself to You, Father, in reverent love and adoration.  Keep me close.   Amen.
