The lofty angels, Heaven, Adam, Eve, and Eden were the Creator’s ORIGINAL Masterpieces. But the masterpieces were made vulnerable to the free will of God’s creation. When we fell, God sent the Master Artist to restore us. You, my friend, are a work of art. A splendid new species. As a follower of Christ, “hidden in Christ” you are a partaker of His nature and your spirit bears His unique SIGNATURE (a big deal for an artist). He DESIRES to show you the work you are called to do and to empower you to do it TODAY so that YOU bear MUCH FRUIT. The Master Artist who is joy unspeakable and full of Glory lives in you and desires to fill you with His Spirit that you might know His will and make TODAY a masterpiece because a piece of divinity dwells in you. You are the Master’s Masterpiece. Love yourself like He loves you. As One! SHELLY MATHIS Kremmling, Colorado shelly.mathis@gmail.com The Process of Transformation November, 2015 I am a renovating artist, and you are My masterpiece. I relish the process of recreation as I transform you into My image. Remember that while I am stretching and molding you, I never become discouraged at your progress, because I maintain the vision of you being finished and complete. Although I could accomplish your transformation in an instant, I do not want you to miss out on the benefits that process brings. Enduring the strain of challenges builds trust, for you gain an intimate knowledge of My faithfulness. Surrender to the process and enjoy the journey. Fighting against My techniques and striving to do it in your own strength hinders your progression. Ephesians 2:10 (Amp) For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. |

When everything may be falling apart, when you feel totally alone in the universe, Jesus is right there in the center of it all, offering personal peace and hope. Allow Him into your life. He immediately begins "remodeling" who you are and how you live. Jesus, in fact, is busily transforming His followers into accurate representatives of God's character. When God designed you, He included special talents and skills that will help you become a uniquely valuable individual. These may be your ability to teach, your love for others, or your leadership skills. Still, whatever special gifts you have received, God has also provided all of the energy and wisdom necessary for you to use them well.---------------- Remember to be thankful for just what you have! Sure, a bigger place, more money, more friends, more talents would be nice. But, if God thought you needed it now to fulfill your destiny; it would be there the moment you needed it. Good news is that it will be there the moment you need it! Relax in Papa's arms delighting yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. |

November 23, 2015 http://ft111.com/ THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS: You are entering into a season of light. The light that brings revelation and reveals My presence is upon you. Even though darkness is increasing on earth, My glory shall rest upon those who are Mine, says the Lord. You shall begin to shine forth in My kingdom, so be filled with joy. For, it is the season to do so. Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: Even though these are uncertain times, you can be certain about My Kingdom, says the Lord. My Word and promises are true and will never change. You can move forward with the certainty that I will direct your steps because you trust in Me. Know that I am with you. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. |

![]() As I gazed at the image of this new dawn ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I heard the Lord speak to my heart ![]() ![]() ![]() Get ready for an explosion of light/Love/light/Love! "There is coming a fullness of joy for My people that will be as bright as the noon day sun. This new dawn of joy will be seen by you while the world still sleeps in a lingering night of despair. The sounds of your joy will be heard in the camps of darkness before the new day is realized. You will begin to dance in the approaching dawn. Come up and stand in the window of Heaven and see what I am about to do. There are times when you dance before Me, and you flow in the river of My Presence, that I stir each moment with life. Angels take flight even as your soul is enraptured with My nearness. Suddenly I AM there as I visit you in My cloud. Breathe in and feel the vapor of My breath upon your face. Take a deeper dip in My river and feel the joy bubbles from the effervescence of My Spirit rise within your cells. Each shall come forth bursting with life while I surround you with tender caresses. Enjoy My Presence, My love, and let Me touch you with My tangible kisses of pure delight. For you are My delight and I AM near as you pour yourself out upon Me. "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine." (Song 1:2 KJV) - - - I am sensing in the Spirit, and also hearing much about the pressure that some are under, but I am also hearing the Lord say, that a great time of refreshing is coming to you who have been standing! Let His refreshing winds blow a new breath of determination in you as you continue to move forward! There are unusual glimpses of His glory that are about to show up in your everyday routines that God is now assigning to His Angels to perform as signs to you that you are still on the right road! These are encounters that you will have suddenly in answer to your hunger and thirst for Him.... Some of these encounters are coming to you so that you will not give up in this season! Count these unusual encounters as God's little appetizers before He brings out the main course! He is about to set a table before you in the presence of your enemies!! "But this is precisely what is written: God has prepared things for those who love him that no eye has seen, or ear has heard, or that haven't crossed the mind of any human being." 1 Corinthians 2:9 http://lit4ever-ministry.blogspot.com/ Arise Shine, Jo Ellen Stevens |

DEBRA LOWE http://daughtersofz.typepad.com/ daughterofz@ymail.com 11/20/15 There are people here that I Am going to split the red sea for, it has been too hard for you to cross. It has been too difficult for you to cross without getting a break. One is coming, a landing place. In Ezekiel read how the waters can become so overflowing that you begin to swim in. That is how My power and glory can be when it flows in, but remember the enemy always tries to imitate My power, so he comes in with floods of cares to try and make you swim through those difficulties. Recognize that the enemy can not overwhelm you, for I will raise up a standard against him. So lay back, quit struggling, quit trying to swim in it. This channel is too deep, this water is unknown to you but nothing is unknown to me. The way that you are going, I know. The way that you are about to cross I have been there. There is nothing to hard for me. I have ordered your steps, there is no confusion with My way. So lay back, relax, I will take you through. I will see to it that these waters will not overwhelm you, but you will overcome the waters. As you lay back and relax in My arms, I will take you through and over, because I Am a healing Father, a delivering Father, a redeeming Father and a restoring Father. If you would take this challenge, for I know that it is a challenge for your mind and your flesh and that there is a war going on even now, and I say to you, I will not let you down. I have never let you go and I will take you over and beyond these challenging waters, and I will bring you over to the other side and you will be made whole and new. You will be restored, and you will rejoice at the fact that you learned how to rest in Me, even in the midst of a storm. So lay back, cease the struggles in your mind and of your flesh, for I Am your Father and I know the problems that you face and the circumstances that have loomed over your mind, and even your body. I Am your Father, I Am a loving God, I Am a healing Father, and I Am a redeeming Father. Lay back in My arms and let me take you over, let Me bring you through these treacherous waters. Let Me lift you up, let Me carry you, for I will see to you and all of your ways, says the Lord. I say let Me, for I will not force this rest upon you, you must allow Me. No harm, or hurt will come nigh your place, your dwelling, or your body. I have every member numbered. I have every member numbered and I have not forgotten the place, nor the original purpose says the Lord. I have not forgotten the member and I will restore, there is no shortage in Me, only a shortage in My people who will not believe Me. Just lay back in My strong capable arms, lay back and see the miracle that I will do in you. So hear this day and commune with Me. Change your mindset. I know you have been struggling, believing, confessing, all those things that I have said for you to do. Some of you have said, I have done all that I know how to do. I Am saying, that is good, I Am glad you are at the end, I Am glad you are at the end of yourself, so now if you will just let Me be God. "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.He will drive out your enemies before you,saying, ‘Destroy them!’" (Deut. 33:27) "He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me." (Ps. 55:18) "So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west And His glory from the rising of the sun. For He will come in like a narrow, rushing stream. Which the breath of the Lord drives [overwhelming the enemy" (Is. 59:19) |

Psalms 5:3 (AMP) "In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart]." The Sun is peaking in my window with the promise of a brand new day truffles R washed away Royal sight is here to stay. The King asks may I have this dance? By the way It's not a fleshly prance But each and every move and step He doth enhance grace and beauty floating around the floor as I dance with the one whom I adore! I'm leaning in to hear 'His Heartbeat' He whispers in my ear Come before Me and I will wash away the tears; I will wash away the fears, you're sick and tired of the rubble of an aching broken heart When the things you're giving your life to are falling apart You're not the first to be acquainted with sorrow, grief or pain But your master is promising sunshine after rain! 1 Peter 5:10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. Hold on my child joy comes in the morning KEEP ME AS YOUR CENTER I Will support you in this time of trouble. It is of Me, do not be afraid. I Have made all things, do not be afraid. You are My little hatchlings, I Am so proud of you. Do not be afraid if you do not see what I See. Give yourselves to Me, do not be afraid. I Have walked through the many depths of the ocean to be with you here. Do you not see? Nothing can keep you from Me. Seven times I Have decreed to the heavens, you are Mine. The heavens pale alongside My love to you! Without My love to you they would not shine. All things were created with you in My mind. Rest in My love to you. Do you not see? I Have already come back for you, and will come again. The magnitude of My love to you is precious to Me. A nation is delivered by the mouth of a prophet. Yea, a nation is not delivered except it is delivered by My servant, My sons and daughters, this is you. My Son was the Firstborn of many sons and daughters, and you are these. Do not be ashamed. As you have asked for Me, so I Have asked for you in the presence of My Father. It is yet a very little while and we will be together. I Am not a man that I Should lie. For though I Was a man, the whole earth should tremble before Me when I Arise on you My love the Firstborn of many daughters and sons. Count yourselves among these. I Was freely given to you, that you may live and not die. This has not changed. Love does not change. Hosea 6:3 His going forth is PREPARED AS THE MORNING. |
