Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

In times when I am distant, I call to you to pursue Me. To search Me out
in all your ways. Seek Me in your daily activities. Search Me out in My
word, and in your silences for My heart for you. In the pursuit of My
presence that you will gain renewed strength. The faster you run to Me,
the more tired physically you will become, but be assured that the
pursuit is totally worth the effort. This pursuit is designed to
strengthen and revitalizing your spiritual muscles. Pursue Me when I am
hiding My face from you. Pursue Me when you are disappointed and
discouraged. Pursue Me even when you don't want to pursue Me. Pursue Me
when you've given up. Pursue Me in the desert and in the plains. Pursue
Me in the times of drought and the times of abundant rain. Pursue Me in
health and pursue Me in pain. Think of this as an opportunity to get
your heart right. For I assure you that you WILL find me at the right
time.

(Jer. 29:13-14b NKJV)
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all
your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord.

THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS:

The Lord says I am releasing strength and power in the anointing of this season that shall rest upon you. And, when this anointing comes in its full measure you are going to be changed into the image of the Most Holy. That oil will flow through you and ignite you and cause your spirit man to come to attention and come alive. Then out of your innermost being will flow the rivers of living water that I have prepared at this time because it is My purpose and My good pleasure to water the garden of My people so that the seeds that have been sown will grow. The water that I give at this time carries with it a measure of faith, faith that will bring forth the harvest, faith that will produce what the seed itself contains. Be encouraged. Rise up to take your inheritance, that which I have given to you. Let your faith arise now to receive that which I am doing. Be ready to be changed and ignited for this new season. For, the trumpet shall blow in Zion and Zion shall arise to its position in the earth as a spiritual habitation and you shall dwell in the midst of My purposes, says the Lord God Almighty.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:
You are in a time of transitioning into a new season, and the enemy is bringing a storm of confusion to get you to believe that you are going the wrong direction. You need to stay cool, calm and collected. Be quiet and do nothing apart from My leading, says the Lord. I am releasing a particular anointing to rest and wait for the moving of My Spirit. Hebrews 4:9-10 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.





September 10, 2012. Get back in the groove you were in. You once made great strides and you can do it again. Do what I say and watch. Keep your thoughts in My victorious realm. You are guided by your thoughts even though at times it doesn't seem like it makes such a difference. Yes it does. It makes a great difference. Keep your thoughts in the positive directed toward what you want to accomplish deep within and watch what happens. It will be a lesson to you that you can apply to many other things. I have called you to be the head and not the tail. My child you will be victorious.
Deuteronomy 28:13 (AMP) "And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful." Bev Robinson


September 10, 2012. May it always be said of us as followers of Jesus Christ that we be found hardworking and thorough in every task set before us. Let us be found showing honor and acting with dignity as His representatives in everything. We are sons and daughters of the Most High and One True God. We are not cowards, yet we are peaceful in all we do. We are faithful to the great commission he has given us. We may be small, but we are strong and mighty like David. Be alert, and be ready to give an apt response when the opportunity arises. Let us faithfully remain in His Word daily.
2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT) "Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth." Kevin Robinson

A Chenille Bedspread

September 10, 2012

In a vision I saw a white chenille bedspread. Someone was tracing the daisy pattern design with His finger. Look closely at the design of My work, beloved. It is subtle, yes, but it is clearly easy to locate and see. I want you to draw close to Me and see into the perfect will of your heavenly Father. I want you to see the restful beauty of My work. I don't want you to doubt Me, My work. I am most certainly present and My plans are certainly taking on a lovely, fresh shape. So draw near. Rest in My presence and identify the most satisfying work of your heavenly Father!

ENTER THROUGH THE GATES OF GLORY



09/09/2012





My Beloved children, My children of Light, enter through the gates, enter through the portals of Heaven as time is over and yet there is a little while for you to come up higher. I speak to those who have laid down their lives and their own agendas to serve My Son Jesus. I speak to those who have surrendered all to follow My ways and My purposes for their lives.



Oh dear children soon you will be revealed to the world as the Sons and Daughters of the Most High God. As My Glory infuses you, some will hate you and want to kill you and expose you to the fallen ones government and some will fall at your feet saying "Truly the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob dwells in you, now I beseech you, how do I get to know Him the way you do"



Oh I have longed for this day My truly Beloveds, for the world has mocked My Holy name and I have need of a people who truly show forth the truth of who I Am, their God and their creator. Long has the world mocked and used My name in vain, long have they pursued the worthless riches of this world and its vanities but ah I have a people who will go forth showing forth My authority, power and great love.



Your sacrifices to Me will be greatly rewarded with THE FULLNESS OF JESUS, MY HOLY SPIRIT AND THE I AM infusing every cell your being. You will walk as the express image of the I AM in the last hour and great will be your joy and satisfaction in that you DID NOT GIVE UP AND REMAINED FAITHFUL IN THE FIRES SENT TO TRY YOU AND REFINE YOU.



Oh My Beloved children, you truly give My Fatherly heart great satisfaction and joy and now the hour approaches were I will unleash you on this fallen world to WALK IN MY POWER, AUTHORITY AND GLORY. I AM WELL PLEASED WITH YOU MY BELOVED ONES.

Fast Forward into The Future


The Lord showed me someone typing on a computer. As they were typing they continually highlighted and deleted the text. No matter what they typed they kept finding errors and trying to delete them. On every website that they went to, they were also continually deleting their history trail. Many of you are not advancing spiritually because you are constantly going back and reliving your past. Some of you are still regretting your past mistakes so much that you can't seem to forget about them. By reminiscing on them you are hindering yourself from moving forward. You must eradicate the bad memories, as well as the good memories that you are not willing to let go of. We are in a time of acceleration and The Lord wants to fast forward your life but this is not possible if you are constantly reliving your past.

The Lord says; in this season I desire to fast forward your life, and develop you into the person whom I have created you to be, and release you into all that I have called you to do. Don't allow memories of the past to bring you back into old mindsets. These thoughts will cause you to become weary in your mind and cause you to retreat. Do not allow the enemy to distract you from where I am trying to bring you. You have begun a good race but you are allowing the bad memories as well as the good memories of your past to pull you back. Don't regret those things that you have left behind because they would only hinder you from what you are called to do. Get back on the narrow path which I have for you, which will fast forward you into your destiny. There will be spiritual warfare along the journey and the enemy will try to steal, kill and destroy but you must learn how to stand strong and endure each battle. I have given you the ability to overcome every conflict. Do not falter under pressure but stand your ground through difficult times. Do not regress and do not give in to temptation.

I will take everything that you have gone through in the past and use it for My glory. Your past failures will not disqualify you for what I have called you to do if you don't retreat but continue in the right direction. Don't look at the opposition that seems to be against you but rejoice because what the enemy planned for evil for your life shall not prevail if you don't allow it. The assignments that the devil had on your life will be thwarted as you get stronger. Trust Me in the face of adversity no matter what it may look like in the natural. I am about to release you into your destiny and offer you something so much greater than what you have left behind. You will then look back and say that it certainly was worth it all. Don't be confused by what is happening around you but pursue peace and stay in the season that I have you in. The assignments that the enemy had on your life will be thwarted as you seek Me and stay in My will. Greater obedience is required when greater responsibility is released to you, and as you submit your life to Me, I will fast forward you into the destiny that I have for you says the Lord.

Luke 9:62
But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

Philippians 3:7-8
But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.

Philippians 3:12 - 14
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

A Homily - 1

September 11, 2012

homily – a lecture, sermon, talk, speech, discourse, religious lecture, moralizing speech, talk based on biblical passage

I wish to speak to My beloved children today on a subject that is vital to your well-being. I want you to know, beloved, that nothing escapes My notice. I see all that is taking place in your lives and I see your reactions. Your reactions are exactly what I would like to speak to you about today. Listen and hear, beloved. Listen and hear!

The Beloved is calling to you and asking you to maintain your focus on Him and His word. I want you secure in the knowledge of My love for you, and I want you to stand fast in the promises I have made to those of you who have said “yes” to Me.

I want you to follow the course that I have set before you. I do not want you veering off the path. I want you to be steadfast in your walk. Don’t look at the activities that are taking place all across the world. Do not get your eyes fixed on the injustices that you hear about. Instead, maintain your focus on Me and what I have to say to you.

And what is the Beloved saying? I am telling you that I love you and have planned My best for you. I am telling you that your future in Me looks bright. I am saying to My beloved children that I want you to respond to My words of truth, and I do not want you to stray from the wonder that My truth possesses.

I want you, dear one, to respond to Me, not the happenings in the world. Me! Respond to Me with words of love and trust. Is that too difficult? No, it is not a difficult thing that I ask, for I tell you, beloved, that in that place of trust lies peace and hope, peace for your heart and hope for your future. Take this advice to heart, dear one. I want you to take the advice that I give to you to heart!!!







The sickness that has attached itself to your bodies will be dismantled. The finances that have been stolen from you will be replenished. Don't fear the future of your family members but put them in My hands. The people that have brought disruption and destruction into your life will be cut off. Don't look back as Lot's wife did at what once was, but look ahead to the future that I have for you.

Do not fear what you see in the natural. Do not be shaken of what is to come. As times are changing and things are shifting, I will always keep you protected as you stay connected. Don't be concerned about how these things will come about but simply trust in Me as you abide in the Secret Place, refrain from compromise and I will bring this to pass says the Lord.

:Jesusiscoming:




Joel 2: 23 - 26
Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you- The former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. " So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name
of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame.

Matthew 7: 24 - 27
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

DEBRA LOWE

9/11/12

The Spirit of the Lord says;
Examine your own lives, to see if you are in the faith. If you don't, you will find yourself doing things little by little that you never would have done, because of your love and honor for Me and My Word. Now the enemy has you wiping it away with comments like; "He understands and He knows." You must have a high regard for My Word and know that I watch over My Word to perform it in your life. Do not think that I Am like everyone else for I Am not, I never change and My Word has been proven true.

Once you have found My character and My heart I expect you to be like Me concerning those areas that I have revealed Myself to you about, areas that are unchanging, fixed, and immovable! Then you are imitating your Father, not being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine. Not being persuaded by the constant changing ways of man's mind, neither by going about doing your own ways, those things that please you, without any regards to Me and My ways. This behavior is not the way of the Kingdom, neither is it the way of those who are called by My name. The enemy thought like this, and it was this kind of self-elevation that took him to the depths of hell. It will not be so for all who honor Me as their God and Father, they will realize and know for themselves that My way is the only Highway, bringing them to the promise.

Even as darkness covers the earth, I Am, only, and always, will be the Light. I will enlighten your dark days so that even your darkness will be light to you. This will happen as you lean on Me and begin to see as I see. For I Am the way, so I Am always leading you in the right path. This is where your faith and trust in me will be strengthened. We are stepping into the season of restoration which will be like the brightest light turned on in the midst of darkness. I will restore the joy of your salvation, I will restore what has been stolen from you, your dreams, your vision, your calling, your anointing, and your children will be restored. With Light comes clarity for all of these things and to walk in the fullness of the restored! Don't be shaken by darkness for I Am your Light.


"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you unless, of course, you fail the test?" (2 Corin. 13:5)
And the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in, choke the word and it become unfruitful. (Mark 4:19)
"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you." (Joel 2:25)

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:



Beloved, refuse to lament over what has already been done or become a victim of the past. Nothing you do will change it or make it better, but you can let it go and launch yourself into this new day that is filled with possibilities and opportunities to know Me better and to understand My kingdom with greater clarity. This is a day to forgive and be forgiven, says the Lord. Draw near to Me!
