Routines and struggles...Rising and rushing...Running, fighting and
silently hoping. The circumstances around you have affected you so
and your tears are symptoms of the lie of the enemy. You feel like
screaming, as if your life is about to self-destruct. And, if it were
up to you, you will not be the one I have called you to be..

But I say to you: Let go. It's okay, I am here. Rest your head, rest
your heart. I have a plan and I won't let you fall. If everything in
you tells you to run away, then run to Me. I will not let the storm
steal you from Me.

Listen to Me and let these words sink deep and speak new life. Arise
and shine, My glory is upon you. Don't hide anymore, let Me fight for
you; let Me be your strength.

You say that it's impossible, that your past is catching up with you,
the world and circumstances that you are caught in feels so real, and
you feel like it's slowly killing you, ripping you apart. You think
you've let Me down and you don't know how to get up. You are frantically
trying to get your life together, but it feels like sand slipping
through your fingers. You say "Lord, can You deliver me from myself?
I am my own worst enemy...have You seen, have You heard what happened.
Please Lord, I'm losing the fight."

But I say to you: My child, I know all things. I know when your
strength fails you, when your heart beats unbearably fast. I know when
you struggle to breathe, feeling like the world is closing in around
you and there's no way out. I know when you tremble. You've tried to
be strong and you hid these things from the outside world, but I know
that you are raw and at the end of yourself.

Not all is as it seems. There is a higher life and there is more to
this life than what you have known so far. Will you enter in and seek
Me despite these things; they are insignificant and I am the voice
that will slice through your reality. I will help you move forward
and upward. Will you surrender and seek My face?

Place your questions and your broken pieces in My hand, and My fire
will consume it, and the ash will cause the ground in your life to be
fruitful. I will make way for the new thing I am imparting to you.
These things that hold you back have to make way for My glory. Make
room for more of Me in your life. These things that trouble you are not
My reality. I know it feels so real, but even in this struggle, you
cannot deny the flicker of My truth that goes against the grain and
pulls you back every time. I have given you "bounce back power"--this
is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

There is a separation taking place in you--a cutting away of the things
that you cannot take on the road ahead. So choose to believe Me, praise
Me even if you cannot lift your hands. Only believe, I am doing a new
thing, and you shall experience it. I will even make a way in the
wilderness and streams in the desert.

I am revealing to you the true meaning of My grace--you will rejoice
when you are weak, when you do not see a way open before you, because
you will know Me like you have not known Me before. The enemies of
faith will fade away. This will happen if you purpose in your heart
to move with Me in blind faith.

Even through the tears, you have placed one foot in front of the other
and I will sweep you up into My arms equip you--not to walk, or crawl--
but to run. And like a deer's feet, you will safely tread over the
high places and the mountains.

Choose life, choose My promises, surrender to the burden that the Holy
Spirit is laying upon you. He is guiding your steps. Lift up your head
and turn your eyes and ears towards Me. There is a refreshing wind in
the Spirit that cools the heat of the battle and clears the debris,
drying your tears. The anointing breaks the yoke. My provision is here,
the road is open before you.

I am with you, move in My favor. Be filled with all of Me, focus on
Me, and I will bring the promises to pass. I am watching over My word
to perform it. I am ripping out the weeds that have cluttered your life
and left you hopeless and tired, and confused. I know you from the
inside out and I will not leave you desperate and comfortless. You will
find yourself in Me, for the old is passing away and behold, I make all
things new. My blood has purchased you and I am wiping the slate clean.
Yes, I am redeeming your life from destruction.

If you look at yourself or others or circumstances around you, you will
bump your foot against a rock. But come and learn from Me in the secret
place. I am your very present help in time of need. I have invested in
you over a long period of time, and there are things in you that need to
be unlocked.

I have given you all that you need to be more than a conqueror and do
valiantly, because I am your exceedingly great reward. Fresh rain is
coming down and watering the seeds that have been sown in your life.
I am unlocking the potential, and this seed is sprouting already. My
heart, My word, the knowledge of Me and understanding--all of this is
being revealed, stirred, awakened.

I will not hide My glory from you and you will know that I am closer
than a friend; My blood runs through your veins. Whatever has happened,
whatever has been thrown against you, I will turn it around for good
and a mighty testimony will be on your lips. These things that have
happened have only shocked My life into you--not so that you can die,
but that you can really, truly live. As you know Me, you will know life.

The enemy's arrows will fall from you as if there is an invisible
shield. Frustration and confusion will move to the camps of the enemy
and you will have peace, joy, insight, foresight, revelation and
understanding in the knowledge of Me. If you abide in Me, you will bear
much fruit, because I have pruned you with love and I was there every
step of the way--even if you did not know it. You have been separated,
sanctified and purified for My glory.

I will meet with you in wonderful, unexpected and exciting ways...
I am singing songs of deliverance over you and placing My heart in you.
I am calling things that are not as though they are, and I am clothing
you with My garments. I am adorning you with My likeness and thoughts.
I will cling to You and you will be a sweet aroma that draws the lost
and awakens life and truth and a hunger for Me in this world and this
aroma will fill Heaven.

My children, you are the ones in whom I will delight; men and women that
I can trust. I am drawing you towards destiny, obedience, and purpose.
I am excited--I know the plans I have for you, and I desire to pour out
My Spirit upon you in an endless supply.

You are an extension of My heart, My hand, My feet, My ambassadors, My
voice to a dying world. So know that I have by no means forgotten you,
I am actively at work in you for My good pleasure. I have been at work
in you to the finest detail.

This is the time to reap, there is a quickening, an acceleration in My
Spirit to do a mighty work in and out of season. I examine My people's
hearts. I have ordered your steps, and I delight in your way. The
righteous will not be moved, they will not be forsaken, so arise and
change the spiritual atmosphere around your homes, your workplace, your
situations. Do this in fervent prayer as you bow your hearts before Me.

In Me is rest, a peace that the world does not know and solutions to
everything you face. Take My hand and I will show you that even if you
are up against a wall, there is a crack that I have provided. It is big
enough for you to safely go through. This is your time, so follow Me.





I am sending My fire to burn up the dross, and I am calling My people
back to Myself. I am calling you back to seek My heart and My heart's
desires.

I am calling you to awaken from your slumber - to rise up and heed My
call. I am a Holy God and I know the plans I have for you. They are for
your good, but you can only find them in Me alone. Do not to seek outside
My heart for them. So be alert, so as not to be captured away by the calls
of the flesh for recognition and purposes of exalting yourself. Instead,
seek first My Kingdom and learn to walk in My holiness.

In an unusual dream two weeks ago, I believe God showed me that an event of tremendous significance involving Israel is going to take place between now and Christmas Day (in fact, I sense it may take place right around Christmas, itself).

In this dream, I was looking over a beautiful snow-covered forest (I'm currently in Los Angeles). Suddenly, several dog-sleds (like you might see in the arctic circle) came from different directions - each headed towards the same spot.

Each of these sleds and their accompanying dog-teams were decorated in red-and-green trim, in obvious Christmas fashion. Although I'm not that much into Christmas, myself, these decorative sleds had a stunningly beautiful quality to them. The scene looked like a supernatural 'quintessential', holiday postcard.

Then, suddenly, I was transported from overlooking this scene to the spot where the sleds had stopped.

At this point, an individual - whom I believe represented an angel - approached me dressed in the purest of green garments one could imagine (again, the color representing the timing of this event).

With tremendous intensity and emotion, the person began to speak - in Hebrew! (This was perplexing, because I do not speak the language).

As the individual spoke, however, the first word he uttered was 'Judah'. Then, quickly, a half-dozen words/syllables followed.

Although I could not understand him, I knew this person was speaking about Israel and something - I believe - that is going to transpire around this Christmas season. Although I was not shown exactly what that event is, it was obvious to me that the implications are very significant - if not extremely so.

At first, I was perplexed by this dream and did not know what to do with it. After prayerful consideration, I've decided to submit it to the Body of Christ.

Perhaps God is calling us to be extra prayerful this holiday season concerning events in the Middle East.



Vision: I stood behind a person stooped over from the incredible weight of a large yoke of wood and iron upon their shoulders. A stream of anointing oil poured forth from heaven upon this person's head. It flowed over the head, down the neck, and underneath the yoke. Suddenly, the yoked exploded off of the person's shoulders!

“It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” (Isaiah 10:27)

Though this verse is so familiar to me, seeing it in actuality was another experience altogether. The Spirit is revealing that some of us are carrying various sorts of yokes of bondage.

As we pursue the Holy Spirit in intimate relationship and steadfastly soak in His anointing, He will come forth from heaven to renew our minds with His truth. To the degree that we receive this renewal of our minds, His anointing power will absolutely destroy every yoke of bondage that encumbers us. This will liberate us into the fullness of our gifting, calling, and destiny in His Kingdom.


“For far too long you have born the pain which resides heavily in your heart of hearts…the pain which is taking My place in your heart and preventing you from moving on with Me. I can never be King of your heart if something is blocking you from wholly being Mine. It is time for you to release the pain and the depression with which you are dealing, all to Me, and let Me heal you, for that is My very Nature…The Healer of the Nations and, more precisely, The Healer of My Bride.

“You have spent months and, for some, years, fighting this darkness. You have gone to see one doctor after another, or have chosen to quietly bear it alone but either way, you have not brought it to Me and let Me rid you of it. You have tried everything to be rid of the pain you bear, including both legal and non-legal drugs, and these have not helped you, either. I AM the Son of God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and I AM the God Who Heals you. I took the stripes for you, My Beloved…you. I say it again…I took the stripes for you. I shed My Blood for you and would have if you had been the only person on the earth who needed My Atonement. I Am the One Who brings healing on My wings and whoever I set free is free, indeed. You need not bear this any longer. I long to see you free but will, in no way, usurp your right or your will. The choice is yours .

“We need to get to the reason for your pain. Often, it is an imbalance in your system which causes it. I can heal that. Others bear the pain because of something which happened to them, something or someone who has hurt them, and they bear the pain in their hearts, seeing no way to be free, when all along, if you turn it over to me, and forgive the one who hurt you (and I can help you with that, too) you can be set free from the pain. Still others suffer because of their own past, because they have hurt someone, or more than one, and I hear you crying out to Me, asking why you had to be born the way you were, and why couldn’t you have been born like others, with ‘simple, acceptable sins’, rather than the darkness which once resided in your heart, then spilled out toward others. It doesn’t matter now how or why you were born the way you were; what matters is today and tomorrow, for I have a work for you to do and you cannot do it if you are chained to the past. You have accepted My forgiveness; the problem is, you cannot forgive yourself. Know this, My heart-broken Beloved…you can have no part in the future I have for you unless you release the past and let it go, as I have for you, and allow Me to bring healing to you in all ways, bringing you, for the first time, out into the sunshine of healing and true forgiveness. And know this- there is no ‘simple, acceptable sin’, for they all have the ability to separate you from Me.

“Whatever the source of your pain, I AM The Healer. I was born into the world to heal, I was given the stripes for your healing and I was crucified to bring healing and redemption to the masses. Come to Me now, and bring all the baggage you have carried through the years and lay them at My feet. You no longer need them: You need Me. Let Me bring the healing of your life time to you, now, this instant. Be healed in My Name, the Name of Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I AM the God Who heals you. You only need come to Me and release it all to Me. I AM waiting…” says the Lord. “Be free, as I AM free for you.”

In a night vision I saw tens of thousands of people coming together with a choreographer to learn their part and movements in a performance. They were dressed in costumes of either, red or white or blue. The vision changed and I was very high up in the air, and I saw our nation's flag. It was huge as it waved rhythmically. Then, it was as though I had a zoom- lens, and I could see the details of this flag with the white stripes being people dressed in white, the red stripes were people dressed in red, the blue background for the stars were those dressed in blue, and the stars were again people dressed in white. Their choreographed movements were in perfect sync as the flag became a living organism, which appeared to be waving. My interpretation of this vision is that God is doing a work in this nation to once again cause us to be the UNITED States of America as we turn our attention to the things that unite us and make us strong instead of what divides us.
Luke 11:17 But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls."

It is time to shake loose of the bondages, the hindrances of this world. Come to Me drink of Me, I am more than enough. Come to Me. Cast off the heavy weights of this world, cast off the bondages. Come and fly with Me, come to the quiet place with Me. I am the Lord who loves His children. And I desire them to be free, to soar like the eagle with no restraints no hindrances; just flowing in My Love and walking in the promises of My word. My word is a Sword that cuts through the bondages, the hindrances. So eat of my manna, receive Me and shake loose from the bondages.

As you flow in Me, I will bring forth blessings, healing and deliverance. Be led of My Spirit, stand on My promises and be obedient to My voice. Resist the enemy and walk with you and Me shall have victory and freedom and so much Liberty and freedom in Me. So press into Me and resist the enemy. I am more than enough; I am able to remove the mountains, and restraints. Shake loose and arise with Me and soar like the eagles above the hindrances. Out of the darkness to newer heights in Me you shall have peace.

These are the days I am moving forth to set my People free. So walk in My promises, stand on My word don't be shaken. But rejoice with Me and go and share My peace, My love, to those who are thirsty and dry and bound by the things of this world. Shake loose the fears and hindrances and walk in newness of life. Victory is yours; I am your rock, your fortress and deliverer.

Scripture:
Shake loose- Isaiah 52:2/ Come to me- Matthew 11:28 /
Lay aside every weight –Hebrews 12:1/ Resist- James 4:7

You have come before me with the greatest gift you could offer: yourself. Offer yourself to me as a living sacrifice; as your spiritual act of worship. I require that you offer your best gift. I will not accept a half-hearted sacrifice, but only full commitment and devotion. Your longing for intimacy has filled my nostrils. I have come to look forward to smelling your burning desire for more of my presence, your desire to be consumed in the shadow of my love. Let the fire of my presence minister words of truth to you as you minister to me before the throne. It is impossible to approach me without experiencing the fire of my presence. I am not a flickering flame or a warm iridescent glow, but rather a consuming fire. The sun can not compare to the depth or intensity of the heat of my presence. It is a mere fraction of my glory left behind for you to behold.



For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Deut 4:24 NIV



Move not into the fire but allow me to direct your path along the purifying process that will prepare you to be a sacrifice. My fire has welding and redeeming power to restore what has been lost and to loose what has attached. Fear not that the fire will cause you any pain or discomfort, for you shall come through the fire and not even smell of smoke. I am the provider of all your needs and I am also the provider of the Holy Fire that you yearn for. The fire of my presence will not harm you. It is not sent to burn as to destroy like the great forest fires, but rather it is sent to remove all impurities and to refine you into the precious treasure I created. You were created to shine brilliantly and to reflect my light in the world around you. You have allowed the tarnished stains of this world to leave a residue over your spirit that has dulled the luster of your destiny. I have turned up the intensity of the fire to restore your beauty. Do not withdraw in fear but come boldly before the throne. Anticipate and endure the consuming flames of my redemption as my presence burns away thoughts of shame and defeat. Press in deeper into the refiner’s fire as years of rust and decay fall off of you. Feel yourself getting lighter as I relieve you of your baggage and restore your value. Present to me your hopes and dreams and place them one by one on the alter. Let me remove the corruption that has attached to your destiny. Allow my presence to be reflected in you home, your job, your ministry and your relationships. It is my desire to be a consuming fire within every area your life, burning away the dross and revealing the wonders within.



24 Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown. Lev. 9:24 NIV



Blow a trumpet of triumph as you burn before the throne knowing that the fire is doing a work in you to make you more like me. Fall face down upon the alter, prostrate before me for it is I that does the work. There is no work on the part of you the sacrifice once you have given yourself over to the fire other than to be still. Be still and know that I am in control and that I am able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all you can think or ask. Be still. I alone know the treasures that have be hidden and I alone have the power to reveal your worth. You are more precious than diamonds and more valuable than gold, more brilliant than the stars and more awe inspiring than the angels; for as you draw near you become a reflection of me. A reflection of my grace, a reflection of my mercy, a reflection of my love; now is the time to be still as my fire consumes your sacrificial offering.



**This is a word from the Lord that I received a year ago and was lead to post. I pray it blesses and confirms others who have pressed in for more and can feel the overwhelming intensity of His Holy Fire being ignited in different areas of their life.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was in seventh grade and I sat next to Chloe Nelson. She was positively convinced she was better than me in every way. Nothing I did seemed to please her or make her like me. I still remember the day she first told me I was "weird," it jabbed into my twelve-year-old mind like a knife cutting away even more of my security about myself.

And I remember the day I overheard a relative say to others in the family about me, "She's too sensitive." And yes, there were others who thought I was not sensitive enough.

Then, just this week someone told me I was weird because I fasted too much.

We all have, those little comments locked away in our mind - words spoken in the form of a curse or accusation against us, sent from hell to erode away our sense of who we are and Whose we are. It is those little pieces of our history that play a role in who we are today and keep us from becoming who we are destined to be.

Oh Satan is coy, it's true. He throws accusations against our souls that we may have already been questioning about ourselves, to rock us off the Solid Rock of God's truth concerning us.

Everyday, dozens of messages are being sent to us through all kinds of sources. The enemy has an agenda. He wants to make us think we are powerless, hopeless and can do very little to change things.

But he's wrong.

Since childhood, Satan has spent a great deal of his time trying to convince you that you are nothing and never will be anything. He has tried to make you feel like there's something really wrong with you...you know, deep down inside...something that disqualifies you from the abundant life Jesus has promised you, that He's died to give you.

Has he tried to make you feel that you are too old? Too young? Too overweight? Too ugly? Too Skinny? Stupid? Poor? A woman? Insecure? Or like Chloe liked to put it, has he tried to tell you you are weird? Sending the message that we are not what we are suppose to be.

Well, God says, "IT'S TIME TO REBEL AGAINST THE LIES OF THE ENEMY" - everyone of them!

Satan is a liar, right? So, should we be looking to find the truth about who we are in the mouth of a liar? No, God's words are truth and life. Only He loves us enough to view us correctly; only He sees clearly our capabilities or the great destiny He has in store for us.

I Can Fly!
Many years ago I had a vision that I was in a house full of demons. They chased me all around the house, tormenting me with their accusations against me. I tried to get away from them; I just wanted them to leave me alone. But they were incessant. Like a drippy faucet, they kept coming back with more and more lies to try and rip at my mind with their nasty opinions of who I was and what I was incapable of.

I ran from them all over the house, frightened and crying. I felt hopeless to get away from them, tormented by their incessant accusations against me. I wanted it to stop.

I was running around the house as they all chased me. I turned and darted as fast as I could in a struggle to get away from them. Suddenly, as I turned slightly toward one of them, I saw it. Yeah, it was just a small flicker in one of their eyes at first, but I saw it. I saw fear in his ugly little eyes.

I turned toward them and looked at them all. It was clear they were trying to hide it from me. They wanted to be the ones in control, and yet they were afraid of me.

I turned and planted myself in front of them and called their bluff. "Wait!" I said, "You're afraid of me, aren't you."

"No!" they said.

They tried to hold their ground, but it was too late. I had seen the fear in their eyes.

I thought, "What are they afraid of?" Well, it was me of course, they were afraid of what was in me. They had tormented me and tried to convince me they had all the power. But when I saw that look in their eyes, I knew they were the ones who were truly afraid.

They tormented me to keep me from realizing my true power. The power I had as a child of God.

When I saw the fear sweeping over them, I knew then they couldn't stop me. I walked right through them and headed straight for the door. I was getting out of that house.

It was my time to escape from the house of lies Satan had built for me and I was going for it. They were no match for me as I walked right through them; they had to move out of my way. I walked out the door of that house and kept on walking.

Yet, they followed me as I walked steadily away from them and that horrible old house of my past. They weren't standing in my way - now all they could do was follow me. They couldn't stop me and they knew it, but they could still try to stop me with their lies.

They kept up quite a little onslaught of continual disapproval of everything I did. They tried in utter desperation to make me believe their stupid lies, but I kept walking.

Suddenly, my Father spoke to my heart and said, "Honey, you can fly!"

"What God? I can fly?" I thought. And then I knew deep down in my spirit I was truly destined to fly. I knew that God wanted me to fly; it was His will for me to do the impossible. So I decided to try...

I flew, at first, just a few feet above the ground with the demons following still, but I was flying!

God told me I could and He was right. I had the ability to fly all along and they knew it; that's why they were so afraid of me. They were afraid that someday I would find out I could fly and I would soar.

I flew above them struggling to fly away from them as they continued to throw up accusations of fear and doubt at me.

"You can't fly you know" they would say. "No, really you can't fly!" they would shout. As I would hear their lies, I felt myself slip down towards them slightly, losing an inch or two of altitude I'd gained, putting me closer to their grasp.

Then I heard God speak again to me, "But Victoria, you are flying."

"Oh, yeah," I thought, "Duh, I am flying." So I was doing what they said I couldn't do.

I knew as long as I stayed close to the ground they could throw their lies up at me. Suddenly, God said, "Fly higher."

That's when I felt a surge of true God-given faith! "I could fly higher," I realized.

I looked at those poor, forlorn creatures and began to smile. I could fly higher, out of their reach, away from them. "You can't touch this," I thought with a grin. And then I cast a gaze toward the sky, the big wide-open beautiful sky, and then I knew I was truly free. I could soar.

Affirm Yourself!
Have you felt the sting of rejection? Do you desire acceptance? Affirmation? Do you feel desperate for approval from someone, but aren't getting it?

God says, "Affirm yourself!" Stir yourself up in God and rebel against the lies the enemy has thrown at you. It is time to rebel against the lies and accusations of the enemy and the harmful opinions of those who did not love you.

Rip off the labels Satan's plastered all over you and laugh at him... yeah, that's right, laugh at him. Laugh at him, because everything he's said about you is a lie, which means the opposite is true.

He's the one who's terrified of you!

You're not incompetent! He's just a liar.

You are not disqualified! He's just a liar.

You can do all things through Christ who is with you and strengthening you, and yes, Satan is a liar.

Satan's lied to you, but why? Why would he bother with you, trying to discredit you? What is he so afraid of? Well, maybe it's this. Maybe, you can fly!

He knows it and he's dreading the day you will realize it. Step into your God-given destiny and soar out of the devil's reach. He's afraid for the day you fly out of his grasp, over his head and away into your God-given purpose in Christ.

He Knows the Plans
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you," says the Lord (Jeremiah 29:11-14).

Dear Friends, remember we find the truth about who we truly are in God's Word. It is powerful and will cut through the lies of darkness to free us. Stay in His Word dear one; it gives peace and life!

Speak the Word of God over your life; claim it's power for yourself and speak life!


Please pray this with me:

In the name of Jesus, I command you Satan to shut your mouth now.! Stop lying to me in Jesus' name.
God, I ask You to send a spirit of truth to me right now to repel the lies of darkness. Flood my mind with Your peace, love and joy. Loose off me the chains of rejection, self-hatred and condemnation. Speak Your truth deep into my spirit and help me to soar out of reach of the enemy. Dear Lord, help me to see myself they way You do and fulfill my destiny in You.

In Jesus' name, amen!

In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
Psalm 120:1-7
--
Psalm 120 thru Psalm 134 … the song of the ascents
--
My love, My beautiful bride-to-be; allow Me to guide you, allow Me to lead you, allow Me to take you on a journey – with Me. In this current season, it is vital that you have communion with Me. It is vital that our fellowship be clear and that you know My Heart. Behold; I am mighty to save.

Over the next few days, follow Me by meditating on My Word. There is one who comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come to give life. Let My life minister to you in this trying time. Follow Me, follow My Word and I will do the rest.

THE HOLY SPIRIT'S JOB DESCRIPTION

The Holy Spirit moves on individuals and also the masses. We have known mass revivals in history to be visited with a Spirit of repentance where people fall down under the power of God with weeping in public places, asking God to forgive them of their sins.



When I read the following scripture I suddenly understood that in the same way He sweeps over people to convict them of their sins, He will also be moving into convict people of making righteous choices in lifestyle and also convicting people of judgment. This is His job description!



We are coming close to the time where He will be sweeping over the masses with the revelations of sin, righteousness, and judgment. It is a time to learn the fear of God and line our daily choices up with the Word of God.



John 16:7-11 NKJV

It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns

November 27, 2008

Beloved, I am acutely aware of the difficulties that you face and that they seem unsurmountable at times, but My grace is sufficient to bring you through every challenge in victory. You must be willing to trust that I am with you in trouble and to release your worries so that your point of focus is not on your problems, but that you look to Me for help by your faith. I am your very present help in times of trouble, says the Lord.

Psalm 121:1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills––From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

POEM: WE ARE THANKFUL



Thank You our Father for all that You do.

Thank You dear Abba for loving us too.

How awesome to know Your angels are here.

How precious to have loved ones far and near.



This day we give thanks for every good thing.

Your gifts in plenty are under Your wings.

Your love is our refuge, Your love is our strength.

From depth, from height, from width and from length.



No weapon formed against us shall prosper.

Thanks be to Your Word, our triumph’s assured.

Angels keeping charge wherever we go

They’re bearing us up if we feel low.



Thanks that all things work together for good,

Building our lives, grace abounding as should.

We’re more than conquerors through Jesus Christ.

Having given His life through sacrifice.



In all we give thanks for this is Your will.

We rejoice and pray, remaining here still.

Steadfast we follow Your Word and Your ways

As You lead us into a brand new day.



Our cups are half full as we wait upon You

To rebuild and repair, restore brand new.

We’re forgiven, predestined, and glorified

Adopted, made righteous, and not denied.



How awesome You are, how grateful are we

That we have a future and destiny.

Our hearts are crying, dear Abba our Dad.

In Your Presence, You make us glad.



You’re rich in mercy, abounding in love

Loving-kindness and justice come from above.

Thank You dear Lord, never changing are You.

We give thanks to You in all that we do.



Ps 79:13 NKJV

So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations.


November 27, 2008. Thanksgiving. Who did that? Often you seem surprised when I work in your behalf to bless and multiply. Nothing stirs Me so much as a thankful heart. I say unto you, give thanks to the Lord your God. I will move in your behalf because you are mine and I have made an eternal covenant with you through the shed blood of Jesus on the cross. I have made you altogether righteous. You are in good standing with Me. I will meet all your needs and protect you forever. Nothing can get to you without first passing by My permission and covenant commitment to you. I say unto you, with a thankful heart let your praises fill the earth. May your shouts be of joy and hilarious celebration of My goodness. You don’t ever need to ask again, “Who did that?” It is Me. Thanksgiving.
2 Samuel 22:50 “Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the nations, And I will sing praises to Your name.” Ras Robinson*



November 27, 2008. Your heart is filled with thanksgiving. It is not just for this day. Throughout most of your life it has been this way. It is a joy to give to you because of your thankful attitude. I know you are thankful, when others around you have no idea what is going on in your heart. I look and know what’s in the heart. You make melody in your heart to Me. A thankful heart is one of the main reasons you are as blessed as you are. I delight in blessing a thankful heart. You are a joy to Me, and a joy for others to be around because of your thankfulness.
Ephesians 5:19-20 “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God , even the Father;” Bev Robinson**





The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.'

Psalm 111
1Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

2The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

9He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

This Is Your Time
by Laurinda van den Berg [prophet-girl@hotmail.com]


Routines and struggles...Rising and rushing...Running, fighting and
silently hoping. The circumstances around you have affected you so
and your tears are symptoms of the lie of the enemy. You feel like
screaming, as if your life is about to self-destruct. And, if it were
up to you, you will not be the one I have called you to be..

But I say to you: Let go. It's okay, I am here. Rest your head, rest
your heart. I have a plan and I won't let you fall. If everything in
you tells you to run away, then run to Me. I will not let the storm
steal you from Me.

Listen to Me and let these words sink deep and speak new life. Arise
and shine, My glory is upon you. Don't hide anymore, let Me fight for
you; let Me be your strength.

You say that it's impossible, that your past is catching up with you,
the world and circumstances that you are caught in feels so real, and
you feel like it's slowly killing you, ripping you apart. You think
you've let Me down and you don't know how to get up. You are frantically
trying to get your life together, but it feels like sand slipping
through your fingers. You say "Lord, can You deliver me from myself?
I am my own worst enemy...have You seen, have You heard what happened.
Please Lord, I'm losing the fight."

But I say to you: My child, I know all things. I know when your
strength fails you, when your heart beats unbearably fast. I know when
you struggle to breathe, feeling like the world is closing in around
you and there's no way out. I know when you tremble. You've tried to
be strong and you hid these things from the outside world, but I know
that you are raw and at the end of yourself.

Not all is as it seems. There is a higher life and there is more to
this life than what you have known so far. Will you enter in and seek
Me despite these things; they are insignificant and I am the voice
that will slice through your reality. I will help you move forward
and upward. Will you surrender and seek My face?

Place your questions and your broken pieces in My hand, and My fire
will consume it, and the ash will cause the ground in your life to be
fruitful. I will make way for the new thing I am imparting to you.
These things that hold you back have to make way for My glory. Make
room for more of Me in your life. These things that trouble you are not
My reality. I know it feels so real, but even in this struggle, you
cannot deny the flicker of My truth that goes against the grain and
pulls you back every time. I have given you "bounce back power"--this
is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

There is a separation taking place in you--a cutting away of the things
that you cannot take on the road ahead. So choose to believe Me, praise
Me even if you cannot lift your hands. Only believe, I am doing a new
thing, and you shall experience it. I will even make a way in the
wilderness and streams in the desert.

I am revealing to you the true meaning of My grace--you will rejoice
when you are weak, when you do not see a way open before you, because
you will know Me like you have not known Me before. The enemies of
faith will fade away. This will happen if you purpose in your heart
to move with Me in blind faith.

Even through the tears, you have placed one foot in front of the other
and I will sweep you up into My arms equip you--not to walk, or crawl--
but to run. And like a deer's feet, you will safely tread over the
high places and the mountains.

Choose life, choose My promises, surrender to the burden that the Holy
Spirit is laying upon you. He is guiding your steps. Lift up your head
and turn your eyes and ears towards Me. There is a refreshing wind in
the Spirit that cools the heat of the battle and clears the debris,
drying your tears. The anointing breaks the yoke. My provision is here,
the road is open before you.

I am with you, move in My favor. Be filled with all of Me, focus on
Me, and I will bring the promises to pass. I am watching over My word
to perform it. I am ripping out the weeds that have cluttered your life
and left you hopeless and tired, and confused. I know you from the
inside out and I will not leave you desperate and comfortless. You will
find yourself in Me, for the old is passing away and behold, I make all
things new. My blood has purchased you and I am wiping the slate clean.
Yes, I am redeeming your life from destruction.

If you look at yourself or others or circumstances around you, you will
bump your foot against a rock. But come and learn from Me in the secret
place. I am your very present help in time of need. I have invested in
you over a long period of time, and there are things in you that need to
be unlocked.

I have given you all that you need to be more than a conqueror and do
valiantly, because I am your exceedingly great reward. Fresh rain is
coming down and watering the seeds that have been sown in your life.
I am unlocking the potential, and this seed is sprouting already. My
heart, My word, the knowledge of Me and understanding--all of this is
being revealed, stirred, awakened.

I will not hide My glory from you and you will know that I am closer
than a friend; My blood runs through your veins. Whatever has happened,
whatever has been thrown against you, I will turn it around for good
and a mighty testimony will be on your lips. These things that have
happened have only shocked My life into you--not so that you can die,
but that you can really, truly live. As you know Me, you will know life.

The enemy's arrows will fall from you as if there is an invisible
shield. Frustration and confusion will move to the camps of the enemy
and you will have peace, joy, insight, foresight, revelation and
understanding in the knowledge of Me. If you abide in Me, you will bear
much fruit, because I have pruned you with love and I was there every
step of the way--even if you did not know it. You have been separated,
sanctified and purified for My glory.

I will meet with you in wonderful, unexpected and exciting ways...
I am singing songs of deliverance over you and placing My heart in you.
I am calling things that are not as though they are, and I am clothing
you with My garments. I am adorning you with My likeness and thoughts.
I will cling to You and you will be a sweet aroma that draws the lost
and awakens life and truth and a hunger for Me in this world and this
aroma will fill Heaven.

My children, you are the ones in whom I will delight; men and women that
I can trust. I am drawing you towards destiny, obedience, and purpose.
I am excited--I know the plans I have for you, and I desire to pour out
My Spirit upon you in an endless supply.

You are an extension of My heart, My hand, My feet, My ambassadors, My
voice to a dying world. So know that I have by no means forgotten you,
I am actively at work in you for My good pleasure. I have been at work
in you to the finest detail.

This is the time to reap, there is a quickening, an acceleration in My
Spirit to do a mighty work in and out of season. I examine My people's
hearts. I have ordered your steps, and I delight in your way. The
righteous will not be moved, they will not be forsaken, so arise and
change the spiritual atmosphere around your homes, your workplace, your
situations. Do this in fervent prayer as you bow your hearts before Me.

In Me is rest, a peace that the world does not know and solutions to
everything you face. Take My hand and I will show you that even if you
are up against a wall, there is a crack that I have provided. It is big
enough for you to safely go through. This is your time, so follow Me.
