I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying, My people have forgotten to come to Me in their time of need in faith, believing that I will interact on their behalf. So, today, I say come. Come and be renewed. Come and be healed. Come and be the child that I have called you to be. Come and walk with Me in relationship. Come and be with Me in Spirit. Let the power of My Spirit invade your lives. Let My voice be a beckoning power to you. Get up this day from your place and come unto Me with the full assurance that I will touch you; I will speak with you; and I will nurture you. I, Myself, will come.

At times you seem worn out and weary from all your efforts to keep the peace and make a profound statement of your faith in Me. All of your toils have not been in vain. You are making a positive impact on those around you. Even though it appears on the surface level that change is not occurring. Your work has made a significant reversal in certain matters which were headed and going in a downward spiral. I encourage you not to lose hope on the basis of the way things appear. Be of good cheer, I have chosen you for such a time as this.

Galatians 6:9 (NASB) "And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary."
You will hit a new gear today:
over-drive!
Things will get easier and flow together.

My garden is a delightful place to visit, but wouldn’t you rather dwell there? Wouldn’t you rather sleep, eat, and enjoy spending your days there? You can, you know. Yes, you can dwell permanently in My garden of delight. Ask Me to instruct you in this endeavor and then prepare yourself to move into this garden, My garden of delight!!!

HE KNOWS YOU ARE WEARY, THE SKIES ARE CLEARING

I sensed a heavy weariness in many believers. Weary of the dark skies and the feeling that it seems to continually "rain".

The skies are clearing and the heavy "rain" of opposition, discouragement and fear, He is turning, to show HE REIGNS! What has felt like a steep never ending climb is all about to align.

Take heart, the new day is about to start. You won't be left in arrears but the deep sense and manifestation that He is near and that He has wiped away every tear, and His love melted away decades of strongholds of fear, will cause you to leap with joy like a deer.

September for many will be a month to remember and He will dramatically fan the flame that has felt like a tiny ember.

New skies are appearing!! His angels are taking flight to minister to you in the night and give you new sight that EVERYTHING is going to be ALRIGHT!!

He is giving you respite from what has been a long uphill fight. The new day is surely in sight!!!!

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Have you listened to Me as I have advised you to stop worrying? And, have you ignored the wisdom of this advice? It will do you absolutely no good to continue to fuss over things that you have no control over. It only demonstrates weakened faith. Let freedom reign in your circumstances by trusting Me with things that cause you to be stressed, says the Lord.

Matthew 6:30-34 "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

He Begins What Is Good
by John Paul Jackson


Faith understands the system of God. You have faith in God because you are starting to understand how things work. You’ve had a glimpse of how God operates, and you are beginning to recognize His heart and intentions. As a believer in Jesus, you always have two options: You will know what the world says—the visible realm—and you can follow its leading if you so desire. But you will also be able to perceive the invisible realm. Through the eyes of faith, you see what cannot be seen, yet it exists.

The invisible realm is eternal in nature, and because it is eternal, it is superior to the short-term physical world we live in. There will be times when we cannot understand the invisible realm simply because the inferior cannot fully comprehend that which is superior. The invisible realm helps teach us the ways and purposes of God—why He heals, why He delivers, what He is thinking about when He does signs and wonders and miracles. When we look with faith, we see what cannot be seen.

The Man Who Surprised Jesus

One of the greatest displays of faith captured in Scripture can be found in Matthew 8. When a centurion came to Jesus and asked Him to heal his servant, Jesus replied, “Yes, I’ll go to your servant and heal him.”

But the centurion answered, “You don’t have to come. Just speak the word, and it will happen.”

Scripture says that Jesus “marveled” at the soldier’s reply. He was amazed, and He gave what is probably the most extravagant, positive response He ever gave in the Gospels. He said, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.” He was essentially saying, “This man understands what’s going on here in both the visible and invisible worlds. He understands the reality of both.”

That centurion—a man Israel considered an enemy or, at the very least, a threat—had an understanding of God and His ways that surpassed even the understanding of God’s people. He had great faith.

Faith and Authority

Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Our relationship with Him grows deeper as we spend time with Him and open ourselves to Him more and more. When we meditate on and pray the Word of the Lord, our understanding of Scripture begins to abound—and with that understanding, we increase in authority.

Like faith, authority is the result of relationship. Our authority in the invisible realm is only as deep as our relationship with God. Authority is different than power—it is more important than power. In the Greek, authority means an obvious supernatural force and the highest judicial control possible. At its heart, it is the ability to recognize right and wrong, to implement justice, to halt what is evil—and to begin what is good.

Just that one thought can stop you in your tracks. The authority of God begins what is good. Faith in God understands the “system” of God—that every good gift comes from His hand. He begins what is good! And He stops what is evil!

Similar to any human king, God uses His power to conquer His foe, but He rules through authority. The Kingdom of God is the authority of God to rule. So whenever we pray, “Your Kingdom come,” we are asking that His authority be on earth as it is in Heaven.

Faith instills within you greater authority because you are beginning to know God. The more you know Him, the greater your faith in Him. He is the One who begins what is good! Therefore, the possibilities are truly endless.

August 27, 2014. Events are moving so fast that you have wondered if time is actually speeding up. Don’t you remember that My ways are beyond your ways? Yes, time is approaching very quickly to an end as you and others know it. You are on the side that wins. I know you as one who wants to win, but I also know this about you. You want everyone to win. I do too. But I love people enough not to control them. I have left it as their choice to make.
Psalms 75:1-3 NASB “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; Men declare Your wondrous works. When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge with equity. The earth and all who dwell in it melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.” Bev Robinson

August 27, 2014. This current season is one of balancing the blessings of love and unity with profound losses. It is a bittersweet time. Don’t ever think the Holy Spirit is not aware. He is behind the scenes, orchestrating a release of a new level of joy and celebration. Where there has been love and unity, there will be an increase of same to the flood stage. He is arranging the losses in such a way that will bring understanding and wisdom for the next season. Your own comfort will manifest. Turn and comfort others.
Jeremiah 31:13 (NLT) “The young women will dance for joy, and the men-old and young-will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.” Ras Robinson

Word of the Lord for September 2014
By: Phyllis Ford
Arlington, Texas
www.carpenterstouch.org
PhyllisFordMinistries@gmail.com
His Words:

“I am gathering the people who are ready to move forward. Those who have walked along the plain path and have not denied my name. So that they may receive their next set of instructions. For that which is going to be completed in this month will thrust them into a greater place of accomplishing my will. Many will have different assignments but once they are gathered together it will weave a pattern of timed release revelation. It will help them understand how the work of the Kingdom will be fulfilled and what needs to be improved upon now. There are so many complex issues that are coming to the surface. This is because of the significance of the hour and what must be done. In times past I spoke through my prophets and even warned you concerning the times that are occurring. And now the seriousness of the hour has come upon my people.”

“If you walk things out according to what I say and not what you see you will be able to rise above the fray. Operating, executing, and obeying me in alignment with my truth will cause you to overcome, accomplish and even assist others into the next phase of their lives. It’s important to learn to operate according to my instructions as they are spoken to you. Listen and prepare your ears to hear what I am saying to you. For you must walk it out without question. You are living in a time when obedience is the order of the day when it comes to making great strides.”

“Your discipline must bring you into a place where you are consciously aware of what is spiritually going on around you. You need to be able to move in the moment, without emotional reactions that keep you from doing what needs to be done right away. The old adage of, "putting off what you can do today tomorrow”, could cause serious consequences. The intent of my words is not to set fear in you. Many of my people by my grace have survived some serious situations. There has been times that I have been clear with them and they refused to hear. Some will delay in their hearing and in the future it could cost them dearly.”

“Disobedience is rebellion pure and simple. Truth is truth and there are no gray areas. You are living in a time when understanding the seriousness of truth is of prime importance. This is a time of accountability. To be a disciple comes with a serious responsibility and the understanding of commitment to the kingdom. It's about duty, honor, and integrity and about those who have a heart and spirit of humility.”

Philippians 2:5-8 (ASV) “Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.”

“This is no longer a time to allow rebellion to rule your heart. Don’t allow complacency to trouble your mind and cause you to halt between two opinions. This is not an hour to be double-minded, but to allow my word and my truth to settle in your heart and calm your spirit from fighting inward struggles. You must find peace and comfort in my word allowing it to make the necessary changes and transformation in you.”

“This hour calls for your diligence concerning the things of my Spirit. If you cry out for it I will release a mighty impartation upon you that will transform your thinking and change your reactions towards others. Pray and cry out! For I will hear you and answer you cry. I am looking to raise up many who are willing to make great transformations in this hour. They are yours for the asking and they are nigh at your door. Only believe my beloved. The transformation is not difficult for those who desire change for the anointing to change into another man is NOW.”

“You refuse to live your life based on kingdom principles and then you question the reality that you have created. You can no longer live your life the way you want and then wonder, “Why things have gone wrong?” Remember you are my beloved and there are times when one's attitude, one’s refusal to hear and obey, and even one’s slothfulness can keep you from seeing your way out. Yes, there will be times of my testing and times of my refining. These times will lead you to places in me that will give you understanding as to where you are headed. You can no longer halt between two opinions. You must choose and you must decide in this hour what course your life will take.”

1 Kings 18:21 “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.”

“Those who are willing and obedient will be the first to enter into promotion, redeem rewards, and receive the portion I have ordained for them in this season. Even revelation needed for this hour will be for those that consistently walk upright holding on in faith in the midst of adversity. This is a time to believe and lay aside your opinions if they are not formed according to my word.”

“There are things before you that will appear one way but carry a shadow. The shadow is only a small glimpse of what’s really there, but there is a precise moment in which the light reveals the very nature of what has been prepared for you. These suddenlies will make sense to you and you will see that which was before you all along was set as a provision for your future. “

“Revelation will be walked out, and that which you have been praying for will appear before you clearly because you have entered into the fullness of time. Look with the eyes of faith and ask me to interpret what you are looking at because some things will be shadowed by your inability to fully understand it. It will be protected by my glory and released at the time appointed. You will understand and it will become clear to you as you come into the season of its fullness.”


I asked the Lord to give me a clear understanding of what was being said.

This was the answer:

1. It will become like the ram in the bush that is revealed at the time of its need, once Abraham's test was complete. (Genesis 22:13)

2. It will become like the food for the multitude of the five thousand when it first perceived to be the lunch of a young lad. (Matthew 14:17-21)

3. It will become like the needed substance to cover the widow’s debt but it was originally a cruse of oil and borrowed pots. (2 Kings 4:1-38)

(I believe that I just scraped the surface and there is so much that needs to be prayed for the fullness of this to be truly understood.)



“Never forget that things may appear one way, but once my hands touch these matters they are changed to become the answer for the circumstances that stand before you. Never look at anything again as being the finality of the matter, because it is through my hands all things can shift, change, conform, and transform to become what is the answer for the situation. Let this principle become real in your heart and endless possibilities will be revealed to you.”

“You are entering into the fullness of time as Rosh Hashanah unveils this moment. In this approaching hour it will change the course of many lives forever. Many things will unfold for Israel, and many things will unfold for my people because all has come into the time of my complete plan. It has been covered but now it is at the time of its revealing. It will earmark great change across the land. It will sweep nations, it will judge the systems of men, and it will change those things that are in its path with purpose, reform, and new life. It will also bring understanding making that which opposes the work of the kingdom clear.”

“There will be a clear distinction as to what the loyalties of the world are and the loyalties of those who will work within the Kingdom. This is a time to be sober-minded but know there will be a shout, a time of rejoicing, and a time of my glory upon my people like never before. September marks the arrival to the destination of my power being revealed upon the land. Know that I will have a people prepared ready to walk out my plan according to my timings.”

“Many have prayed and asked when would these times come? Look now beloved, for you are standing in a key moment of time. You have now entered into this month of September and October all the way through the High Holy Days (From Rosh Hashanah unto the Feast of Tabernacles). Know this is not just be another set of feast but this one will be like none other. It is the time of times and within it carries the Fullness of the Destiny of my people.”

“So look up, be attentive to my words, listen to sounds in the heavens, and stay before my presence. You are standing in front of a door in time and behind this door is OPEN REVELATION to many truths that will be released for all times. A door of destiny and destination, which leads to my path of righteousness, to the salvation of souls, and to the redeeming of a people to show them the way of the light.”

“Many will awake because of the shaking that will take place. They will not just come to the light but they will become the LIGHT out of a dark place. The will become walking REVELATIONS of my words. I will move through your situations blotting out the iniquities of those who want to change and become my people.”

“You will see circumstances change overnight. Even for those who say there is nothing that can happen to help us. Some of the greatest strongholds of evil will be uncovered, because they will manifest in the face of my glory. Know that once it is uncovered a strategy to dismantle it will be revealed. Prayer will always be an important key to overcome the enemies work as my word will continue to unlock mysteries and truths that will carry with it the power to destroy and dismantle those works. For you will be the mighty weapons in my hands.”

“Set a watch over events occurring at the beginning of this month and pray. During the first five days of Rosh Hashanah (beginning September 24th-29th) Watch, Pray, Listen, & Hear my voice of instruction. For will I speak to you words of strength and light. They will be words of great power spoken at the gate.”



Other Related Scriptures:

Jeremiah 6:17 “I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.”

Haggai 2:4 “But now be strong, Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD. 'Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the LORD, 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the LORD Almighty.”

Ezekiel 46:3 “Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the Sabbaths and in the New Moons.” [See also Ezek 45:17]

1 Corinthians 4:5 “Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from Elohim.”

Acts 3:19-21 “Repent, then, and turn to Elohim, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you even Yahusha. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for Elohim to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.”

Then Elohim said: "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons (Hebrew, Ulemoadim), and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth; and it was so” (Genesis 1:14, 15, NAS).

Elohim had planned into the creation of the world the use of the stars and planets to mark times and seasons. The movement of the sun, moon and stars were provided for this very reason. The Creator placed them in the sky as time markers. His appointed times were part of his plan for man even before man himself was created. Elohim placed the lights in the sky on the fourth day of creation to mark (among other things) his appointed times!
