LIGHTEN-UP, BELOVED!
lighten – 1. ease, make less burdensome, lessen, reduce, alleviate
2. cheer up, improve, lift, refresh
I see My beloved in a tight ball of anxiety, afraid, worrying about what tomorrow will bring. My words to you, beloved, are for you to lighten-up. Put your trust in Me. Put a confident smile on your face, that face that I love so much, shining forth the bright promises that I have made to you with expectant hope. For in so doing, beloved, you will draw others into My fold.
Know that the outcomes of My plans are without flaw. They stand for Who I am, the God of the Universe, the Creator of all. My plans shall go forth in a dynamic way. Don’t let the world’s situations get you down! Be confident in the One Whom you serve. Be confident in Me. Put a smile on your face, and march forth with a triumphant swagger into all that I have planned, for plans I do have and they include you, dear one. They include My beloved showing forth the heart of the living God.
Yes, I am seeing too many of My children going around with sour scowls on their faces. Ouch! That hurts the heart of the One Who has plans for His beloved to excel in her walk with Me. Ouch! Don’t give Me that pinched look, beloved. Flash those pearly white teeth at Me, and let Me see the joy rising from your heart. I am a happy God. I am happy with My beloved children. I am happy with My plans and in the way that I am carrying them out. I am happy to see a completion to those plans that have been in the offing for so long a time. I have plenty to be happy about, and you do, too, beloved. You certainly do, too! So put on a happy face for Me, for others, for yourself. Put on a happy face, knowing that you may count on Me to carry out My plans with the expertise of the One Who created the universe. Is there, beloved, anyone who could top what I have already done in the world? Is there another who you believe worthy of your confidence? I don’t believe there is, precious child. So lighten-up! Lay aside your concerns. Put them at My feet and see the wonder of the living God displayed in your life, offering new hope and a joy that is unspeakable and absolutely running over with My glory. It is for you, precious child. It is for you to enjoy. So lighten-up! Lighten-up and look on the majesty of your God with the confident hope that I am Who I said I am, I will do what I said I would do, and you will know the wonder of My accomplishments, beloved. You will know the wonder as they are played out in your life and in the lives of those you love.
I am a loving God, full of joy! I want you to be joyful too, dear one. I don’t want your brow furrowed with worry. I want it wrinkle-free and I want to see a smile on your happy face. I take delight in you. Take delight in Me and who I am to you. I am your joyful God, with a plan of escape for those who are My own. You will see the glory of your God manifest in a dynamic way. You will play a part in this vast scenario that is to take place. You will know the wonder of the coming hour, and you will step into My plans with a gusto that is not your own, but is given freely by the hand of the Almighty God. So rejoice, beloved. Rejoice! Put on a happy face, and rejoice. I do all things well. Again, I say, I do ALL things very well!!!
ESCALATING TERRORIST ACTIVITIES 3/5 Started by HEAVENS THUNDER
Topic: Dreams from the present and past about escalating terrorist activities. A couple of dreams contained symbolism of replication and multiplication that is characteristic of extremist destructive Islamic psychology.
DREAM BY PEARLENE
From: Pearlene To: Daystar Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 7:21 AM Subject: Dream
Dear Pastor Paula,
Blessings again to you and your ministry team.
Thanks for the time you have taken in the past to allow the Holy Spirit to use you in the ministry of dream interpretation. Your insight into this dream will be greatly appreciated.
I received this dream Feb 20th, 2007. To me this seemed to be a dream of great significance, but was compelled even more to send it to you after watching the news this morning regarding England's worst fear of Terrorist attack, even worse since 911.
In this dream, my daughter and I were busy working in our home, when suddenly I saw a very bold black and white drawing of the map of England in the skies. As I looked at it the drawing became even bolder and I kept getting an impression to take note that the map was in black and white.
The map was then turned longitudinally and suddenly became what seems to be a large machine gun. Sections of boroughs and towns were then highlighted and I began to look at one town with people going about their business in the midst of great chaos. There seemed to be a lot of shooting and great destruction going on.
I was then on the underground train and a person dressed in black fatigue like a militia came on the train with a huge machine gun. He pointed this at a man's head and ordered him off the train. I thought he was going to kill this man.
Later in the dream, I saw this man who was taken off the train with a machine gun attacking people. He was no longer one person, but three persons…..they were like identical triplets all going around and shooting at people. There was great fear and chaos every where.
I then turned to my daughter and said, "This is awful, I do not believe the Lord is going to allow His people to go through all of this, He is going to return before all this happens…are you ready?"
I was awakened with great fear for the people of England especially at least 3 generations of family and friends living there. England is like home to me as I attended school there and lived there for 10 years….my early adult life. I immediately felt like telling my family and friends to leave before all this happens. The news this morning confirmed my dream.
In a similar dream of the USA. A brother in the Lord was doing some maintenance work in the building I was working in. There was great chaos every where outside…places were being bombed at random. Someone came in and told him that his home was bombed and his wife and children were all blown to pieces; there was nothing of his home and family left. He suddenly became like jelly and collapsed to the floor, saying "there is no need to go on…all is gone."
I then saw a woman dressed in militia outfit with a machine gun pointing at us to kill us. At that time, I heard 3 more huge bombs going off, indicating that three other buildings were bombed. Boldness came over me and I began to rebuke her in the Name of Jesus. I began to plead the Blood of Jesus and told her that in the Name of Jesus, I command her to put her gun down and I cancel all her fowl works. I was awakened from my sleep at that time.
What I perceive in my spirit is that there are plans going on for mass destruction on a wide scale both in the USA and UK. I am sensing that there will be many, many attacks all over the USA and England. Without any warning there will be great chaos everywhere. It is time for us to pray and intercede more for God's protection everywhere. We are living in very dangerous and perilous times.
We are praying that this will be averted, that the Lord will intervene on our behalf as we pray and intercede for these 2 countries.
I anticipate your input on these 2 dreams. Blessings and prayers as you continue to be used of the Lord.
In His service, Pearlene
A WORD FOR THOSE WHO ARE PRESSED OUT OF MEASURE 3/5
A Word For Those Who Are Pressed Out Of Measure
"It was a common saying even among the Greeks - He that sets up to be another god ought first to make another world. While the heathen worship gods that they made, we worship the God that made us and all things." - Matthew Henry
It's an understood fact that - even after much study and research - we still do not know much about our God.
The Scriptures declare - "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!"(Romans 11:33).
We read in Job 26:14 - "Lo, these are parts of His ways: but how little a portion is heard of Him? but the thunder of His power who can understand?"
"Lo, these are parts of His ways" - In other words, these are only a small portion, an outline, a surface, the end, extremity, small part, or an indistinct sketch of His many ways, works, or mighty doings of His eternal power, wisdom, and Godhead - by which He makes Himself known to the children of men.
God is so infinite and incomprehensible. Our understanding of Him is very weak and shallow.
We can readily agree with the verse which attests - "...how little a portion is heard of Him?"
The utmost force and extent of His power is yet to be discovered by us. We are simply working with a faint whisper in comparison to the words fully spoken - "... but the thunder of His power who can understand?"
At this time, God is seemingly speaking to us in a soft and gentle whisper. But, which one of us would not be greatly moved and impressed - if not totally overwhelmed - with a sense of His awesome greatness and glory if He would dare to speak to us in the full voice of His "thunder"?
Again, we are asked in Job 36:29 - "Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of His tabernacle?"
It does us much good to reflect on the fact that our God is so far above us, and we are so far beneath Him. He is Eternal, and we are so mortal.
Which of us could possibly understand something that we simply take for granted each day - the "spreadings of the clouds"?
Here, we read of the "clouds" spreading themselves as a curtain, canopy, tent, or pavilion for the heavens - the dwelling place of God. But which of us can really understand the manner in which they expand or unfold themselves on the sky? In our studies, all we can do is come away in awe of this infinitely Great Lord - the Supreme Director of all - Who indeed has all Power in heaven and in earth.
We have the same reaction when we reflect on the "noise of His tabernacle" - "...can any understand...the noise of His tabernacle?" The claps and peals of His mighty thunder leave us in perfect awe of such a Sovereign Being.
And what about the "many waters" and "mighty waves of the sea" which He is greater than and able to control - "The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea"(Psalm 93:4)?
He is more powerful than all of the many, mighty billows and breakers of the sea. In fact, they are at His absolute command. As rapid, emphatic, and forcible they may appear, they can only go as far as He allows. They are constantly at His command.
Here we derive the picture of the horrible tempest that oftentimes threatens the believer in his walk with the Lord. These "many waters" and "mighty waves of the sea" are typical of the countless tumults that arise in our hearts - threatening our inner peace and stealing our joy. Our souls are thrown into inordinate fears and total disorder as a result. That is, until we focus on the power and majesty of our God - Who is in absolute control of the storms of life. He reigns triumphantly where "even the wind and the sea obey Him"(Mark 4:41). Hence, all those who place their trust in Him have nothing to fear.
This day, the Holy Spirit wants to remind you, O weary Christian, that your God is in control of your storm. He is above it all...mightier...the Most High...more powerful...and greater in strength than those "waters" - that are seemingly endeavoring to drown you in your Faith.
You need not fear. Jesus is your immovable anchor. Though your ship be tossed and turned violently by the winds, you will not be destroyed by the storm.
Remember - "The LORD on high is mightier..." Get a grip on the Word of God this day, and let it get a hold on you.
Psalm 104:7 assures us - "At Thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away."
Who is in control here? Is is Satan? Absolutely not!
It is at the command of our God - His "rebuke" - that demons flee in great alarm and fright. It is at the "voice of Thy thunder" that circumstances rapidly turn around for the good of all those who love the Lord and are "called according to His purpose"((Romans 8:28).
You may be thinking - Where is God in all of this? All I can sense is the darkness that surrounds me and blinds me from His wonderful light and presence.
The Scriptures tell us in Psalm 77:18 - "The voice of Thy thunder was in the heaven.." What this is saying to us is that the mighty "voice" of God is heard in the raging storm or whirlwind. Hence, it is in the very midst of the storm when He waits to speak a "word in season" to us. In fact, some "words" can only be "captured" or heard while being in the "eye of the storm."
That is why He tells us in Psalm 46:10 - "Be still, and know that I am God..." There is no need to "be still" in a peaceful setting. That is an understood reaction. However, in the midst of the fiercest of storms is when such a word applies.
In Jeremiah 10:13 , we read - "When He uttereth His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens..." This verse is actually referring to the sound of thunder - followed by the abundance of rain.
But, how does this apply to us?
We have already seen that the "voice" of God's "thunder" is heard in the raging storm. What follows the "thunder" is the rain.
So it is in our lives. As we find ourselves in the fiercest of spiritual storms, we can expect two results. We can expect to hear a "word" from God as well as anticipate "showers of blessings" to follow.
Satan would tell you that that storm which you are presently experiencing is meant to break you. But God has another plan. It's in the very midst of the storm where He will speak to you. Then out of it will follow abundance of blessings - spiritual, physical, financial, emotional, etc.
Remember, in the beginning of this message, we spoke of only knowing "parts of His ways" and of hearing only a "portion" of Him?
Who can really understand the ways of our God?
We truly grasp only an indistinct sketch of His eternal power and Godhead as seen in His creation.
One thing is for sure - We can trust Him.
And if we can trust Him, then we need never fear.
He is in absolute control of our lives.
Yes, even when we find ourselves in the fiercest of storms.
May God Bless His Word.

TAKEN TO A NEW PLACE by Sandy Warner 3/5
VISION: I saw an eagle’s talons.
HEARD: Taken to a new place. This will not be taken from you.
Ex 19:4 NKJV
I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.
UPDATE CONFIRMATION 10/21/06 One of our intercessors saw a pair of eagle’s talons that had a firm grip tonight in the prayer room. This is the same day that I heard we were in the river of channels and pressures being taken swiftly to a new place.
HEARD: As I was thinking about what she saw, I heard: A safe place. I will not be silent any more.
It is quickened to me that the church has been birthing a new generation of anointed youth. And now she is being moved to a safer place in the Lord, as the world goes through its throngs of its own birth pains.
Rev 12:13-13:1 NKJV
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

NEW REALMS OF GLORY by Marsha Burns 3/5 Beloved, you are on the very threshold of moving into new realms of glory. There have been seasons in your life where I came to you to strike a covenant with you in order to facilitate a new level of effectiveness in My kingdom. And, this is yet again a time of new or renewed covenant when you can choose to come up higher in kingdom purpose and responsibility. You must, however, quiet your own soul and quell your own ambitions in order to submit to My intentions, says the Lord.
Genesis 17:2 "And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."
The Trumpet by Bill Burns
March 5, 2007: I will open the windows of heaven and begin to pour out the blessings that you have yearned for. I will pour out to the extent that these blessings will overtake you. I will bring the promise of the Spirit, the promise of life, and the promise of prosperity. I will give to you, My Bride, gifts that will prepare you for your Bridegroom. Gird up the loins of your faith and dare to believe even though your faith may have been diminished by the events and circumstances of the past. Rise up to the place of faith that you have known, for it is a seed within you that can sprout up and bring forth life again. I have given you living water and the seed of your faith shall grow to maturity and even reach beyond places it reached in the past. Dare to believe! Activate your faith! You are worthy to receive the treasurers of heaven, says the Lord.
HEAVEN IS WATCHING YOU by Mary Lindow 3/5
Dear Worshippers,
I was seeking the Lord about what He would have me share as a blessing of encouragement and something to build you up in faith in the Promises of God during these very disturbing and difficult times we are experiencing in the earth at this time.
The Lord reminded me of a Spontaneous Prophetic Song that was recorded in a professional studio setting called:
"HEAVEN IS WATCHING YOU"©
This is a Gift to you from the Father as well as a promise for you to stand on. Specifically, the Holy Spirit addresses the children who have been aborted and left to die, saying that they are in heaven in Father's care. Also, the Holy Psirit spekas of the cloud of witnesses cheering us on and that heaven is our home. I truly ask the Lord to minister great peace and healing over your spirit, soul, and body as you take a moment to listen.
The studio waiting areas were filled with intercessors for many, many hours as I simply sat in the recording booth with a keyboard that allows many different instruments and percussive instruments to be played together seamlessly, and waited upon the Lord to give the music, the words, and the sounds.
And so, this song was recorded and played spontaneously and then digitally mixed and mastered to bring out the beauty of the music.
I usually receive prophetic songs and music much like watching a DVD with what I call "rolling visions" and a soundtrack.
I want the Lord to sing over you as you listen to Him through my small and fragile human willingness.

See now the cloud
Of many gone on before you
Gathering the millions in prayer To cheer you on
They've paid a price
They've seen My face
They understand, what you need is grace
They have a story to tell
They have a story to tell
They stood there
on the edge of Heaven's face
They've watched you
They've cheered you on your way Do not despair, they're praying now today
Heaven can see
Heaven can see you
Heaven cheers you on!
The children left to die are there They are in Father's care They are praying for the ones Who sent them early there
Heaven is watching you
And the Saints are cheering on for you Never feel alone Heaven has it's own Place where you can cry Your tears are bottled up And poured like tears from the sky
Heaven's watching you
People praying through
Till your life is over
And you are never left alone
Cause heaven is your home
Watching over you
