Eternal Changes
November 4, 2007
I make eternal changes in hearts. I make changes that bring a lasting relief to any heart that will let Me. Know that I take delight in offering this gift to you. I take delight in having you respond to Me, offering to Me your whole heart, complying with My wishes for you.
The changes that I make in hearts will last forever. There is no on and off in the changes that I make, beloved. These changes are wonderful. They go deep, penetrating that heart, and bringing a live, healthy tissue in which you will take delight. All scars are excised and done away with. All bruises are kissed away. All those deep, penetrating hurts are taken to the nether regions where they will never be heard from again. That is the way that I do things, beloved. That is the way your God changes a heart.
So bring Me that heart with a willingness to comply with Me and My wishes for you. Bring that heart to Me NOW and let Me rid you of all that is useless and of no benefit to you in your walk. It is My desire to do so. Let it be yours to let Me. Do not nurse those old wounds. Do not savor those old hurts, dear one. They have no life in them. If you will but give them over to Me, I will rid you of them clearly. I will rid you of them and no longer will they poke their ugly heads up at you again. I will decapitate them. I will send them scampering, and you, beloved, will be free of them, free to run and play in the fields of clover that I so aptly provide for one of My own. That is where I want you to be, running gaily through thick, lush fields of clover, smelling My essence, savoring My presence, and knowing that I am with you, guiding your steps to your home, your eternal home, where eternal changes prove to be the rule for the day, for the hour, and for each moment!!!
3 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / NOW IS THE TIME FOR FRUTIFULNESS AND HARVEST 11/4 on: Today at 08:57:06am
Carol Kelley: "Now is the Time for Fruitfulness and Harvest"
The Lord has been speaking to me and others over the last several weeks about "fruitfulness and harvest." Our city, Newberg (in the state of Oregon), has been called "the Gateway to Oregon's Wine Country." The main road running through town is Highway 99. Some of the Biblical meanings of the number "nine" include the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, fruitfulness and harvest. Wines from our region, the Willamette Valley, have become prized and sought after in recent years. From our home, I can see fruitful vineyards growing on a nearby hillside. The grapes have been harvested and are now being made into fine wines to be sent out around the world.
Process of Making Wine
My oldest son recently spent several days working in a local winery and explained the process of making wine to me. One of his assignments was "crushing" or tending huge vats of crushed grapes. As the crushed fruit ferments, a hard layer forms at the top. Every three hours or so, this layer must be broken. This process continues round the clock, day and night, over time. If too hard of a layer forms at the top of the fermenting wine, it becomes useless. The wine must be carefully tended until the process is complete, and it is ready to be poured out into bottles. Once bottled, the wine sits for awhile, until it has aged to perfection. The more valuable the wine, the longer it must wait.
If you are at all like me, you can find it very difficult to endure long times of waiting! But take heart. You are valuable to the Lord, and He has destined you for and is preparing you for great things! He is breaking through in our lives and tending us so that we can have a place of usefulness, service, and joy in His Kingdom on earth. He will sustain you during times of prolonged waiting.
God desires for us to be well-watered, fruitful branches which He tends in His vineyard (John 15:1-5). He has desired fruitfulness for us from the beginning of creation (Genesis 1:27-28). John 15:8 tells us that the Father is glorified when we bear much fruit. He chose us, appointing us to produce lasting fruit that will remain. The Lord wants to give to us generously, and tells us to ask in Jesus' name (John 15:7, 15:16). He desires for us to have joy (John 15:11; 17:13).
Last week, the Lord awoke me in the middle of the night with the word "mulch." I'm not a gardener, but the sense I had from Him was that mulch contributes to fruitfulness. I asked for further insight and clarification. He told me to research the process of mulching.
I discovered that mulching does indeed contribute to fruitfulness. It is used widely in the cultivation of vigorously-growing fruit plants, especially grapes to protect them from wind and cold during frosty weather. Mulching can also loosen up hard or rocky soil, and prevents the evaporation of water from around the plants roots. Common materials for mulch consist of dust, ash, paper, pebbles, and/or straw, hay and leaves.
This reminds me of the "wood, hay and stubble" mentioned in I Corinthians 3:12. We don't want to build on the Lord's foundation with such temporary materials. Yet He can use these things we often don't welcome or value, such as irritations and trials, as a "mulch" to help bring about His fruitfulness in our lives. He is working our "soil" so we have firm, sturdy roots in Him, and so we can bear fruit--thirty, sixty and a hundredfold (Matthew 13:18-23).
Fruitful in the Land
When God was ready for the Israelites to take the land He had promised them, He told Moses to send out spies (Numbers 13:1-3). They returned with grapes the size of basketballs (verse 23). Two of the spies were Caleb and Joshua (verses 6, . Joshua was from the tribe of Ephraim; Ephraim was one of Joseph's two sons. Scripture says that Joseph was called a fruitful branch by his father Jacob (Genesis 49:22). Ephraim's name in turn means "fruitful in the land of affliction" (Genesis 41:52).
Was it just a coincidence that Joshua was from the tribe of Ephraim, the tribe with an inheritance of fruitfulness? No! In the name of Joshua's tribe, we can see God communicating His desire for His people to become fruitful. God's plans are not random or coincidental! Joshua is representative of our Lord Jesus, who wants to lead His people to victory and fruitfulness in the place God has ordained for us.
Before they entered the land, God gave the Israelites instructions while they were still in the desert. He told them ahead of time about how to keep His feasts and celebrate the harvest festivals once they arrived in the Promised Land (Exodus 34:21-24; Leviticus 23:9-44). If you are in a desert place right now, hang on! Keep abiding in the Lord (John 15:4-5). Keep claiming the promises He's given you, even if you can't see their fulfillment yet. He wants you to be fruitful! He is faithful to produce a good harvest (Galatians 6:8-9), both in us and through us. He also ordains and has provided times of rest (Genesis 2:2-3; Matthew 11:28-30).
The Lord desires for us to move into the land He has chosen for us, where He has ordained that we should be fruitful! Here is what He would say to us today:
"Now is the time for fruitfulness and harvest! It's time to soar to new heights and freedom in My Spirit, powered by My joy, which is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). I am giving you strength and sustenance. Shake off confusion, and move in the direction I am leading (Numbers 13:30). Don't worry about the size of your fruit (Numbers 13:23); this is a season of blessing, favor, and multiplication. Where even two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there also (Matthew 18:18-20). It's not the size or shape of the fruit that matters, but abiding in the One Who in His faithfulness produces it (John 15:4-5, 7-16). I am combining your fruit with that of others to make it more potent and powerful.
Today is a new day. I am with you. I am healing, blessing and leading you. Be not dismayed; I am your God (Isaiah 41:10). I am providing a way for you to move into the land and dwell there. The fruit is there; the blessing is there; reach out and take it! I will show you how. I am revealing strategies. Believe that I am speaking to you! I am with you; your reward shall be great." (Genesis 15:1)
May you walk in His blessing today and always!

4 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / THE BREATH OF LIFE by DJ Dean 11/4 on: Today at 08:54:59am
The Breath of Life - The Word of Life
I heard the Lord say, “My Spirit will blow upon my Word” Immediately I
saw a vision. I was standing behind a pulpit preparing to speak. Then I
saw the breath of the Holy Spirit move from behind me. The wind of His
breath was visible with blue hues and wispy, swirling and gentle as it
moved forward. Then the pages of the Bible began to flutter as the very
words and letters of the Bible were being swept forward like leaves from a
tree. The words gently began to flow over people. They went over them,
around them and through them. I then saw another wave of words flow
forward over and around the people, and then yet another wave. The
words kept moving forward until they had swept out the building and
moving in all directions. The words formed a stream moving together this
way and that until they reached a certain point. The stream came
together and started to go straight up in the air. I knew they were going
home to the Father. As I sat meditating on what I had just seen, I heard
the Lord say, “I am restoring to you what you have lost. What you have
had in days gone by, you will have once again. What you lightly held in
innocent experience you will once again have with mature knowledge.
The first wave you saw was the Word that goes to awaken My people to
the truth that is coming. The second wave comes to change, arrange and
make right what was out of place, to restore and heal My people. The
third wave you saw will set a seal to the work I accomplish. Look not to
what could be, but rejoice in the remembrance of what I have said that is
Holy and right from My heart. Remember the good places you have come
from and let Me saturate you with My presence as My Word dances with
Life in your very spirit. What My Word sounds like, looks like, smells like,
tastes like and feels like, is living breath. This is what made Adam a living
being.
The more I thought about the encouragement to, “remember what was
good” I could smell coffee brewing, cookies baking and the sweet sounds
of the holidays. I could remember times of joy, freedom and reveling in
the comfort of love. Pure experiences untouched by anything dark or
dreary. Where do we draw our power, strength and fortitude, is it in the
power and knowledge of the battles we have won and pain we have
suffered or is it from the love, acceptance and encouragement we have
experienced and given. What dominates our thoughts, is it what has been
wrong with our lives or what is right? Where do we draw our identity, from
what has been bad or what is good? I feel His word moving in my soul
taking me to the Father’s arms were there is a place where dreams really
do come true.
When God gives a word such as this it moves in the atmosphere for
anyone who chooses to take it by faith. May you gather this word to
yourself and speak with new life. This is for all those who will take His
Word in their hands and let Holy Spirit move with His anointed life.
This is a new day!

9 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / LACKING NOTHING by Ras Robinson 11/4 on: Today at 06:57:19am
WHAT THE LORD IS SAYING TODAY – November 4, 2007 – “Lacking Nothing”
Ras Robinson
Nov 4 2007 09:46AM
November 4, 2007. Lacking nothing. You have stepped up a level. I am bringing more difficult things into your life now because you have demonstrated that you are ready to face them and exact victory from them. Surely you do not think I would ever leave you without My covering and protection! Do not be nervous when My assignments to you do not make sense, seem impossible or unattractive. There is always a purpose and intent behind everything I allow to come your way. Because you are demonstrating endurance, steadfastness and patience enough now to consistently defeat the enemy, I am giving you larger assignments. Make sure you do your work thoroughly and do not leave things half done. Now shine and enjoy the abundance I am bringing. Lacking nothing.
James 1:4 "But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing."
10 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / EXPECT THEM....THE NO NAMES...THEY'RE COMING! 11/3 on: November 03, 2007, 04:54:07 PM
EXPECT THEM....THE NO NAMES...THEY'RE COMING!
Expect them. They're coming in the Name of the Lord....not in their own names! They come in His Holy Name. They move by His Holy Spirit. They walk in His Power. With each step of their feet they are busy about His business...
Do not expect to hear them speak their own names...nor to use their names on anything associated with His works. Do not expect them to exalt self for they are dead to the ways of flesh. They are not of this world's kingdoms or ways. They are sold out to Him! They have been with the KING! They have seen and heard and now KNOW HIM. EXPECT THEM TO HERALD AND EXALT HIM, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST...THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS! Expect their messages and ways to offend many who are of this world's kingdoms and operating of the flesh. They will wipe the dust from their feet and move on for they seek to please only Him.
Expect them...the no names....they're coming in the Name of the Lord!
Ps 118:26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; we bless you from the house of the Lord [you who come into His sanctuary under His guardianship].
Mt 10:14 And whoever will not receive and accept and welcome you nor listen to your message, as you leave that house or town, shake the dust [of it] from your feet.
Mt 10:15 Truly I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
Mt 10:16 Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves.
