Today is a time for seeking God. It is also time for you to tune in to God. Sometimes it takes fasting to go along with prayer when you are seeking those answers. The Lord is saying for you to pray about fasting and then obey Him. Fasting will get your flesh out of the way so that you can hear Him distinctly. Your next breakthrough will be completed and you will walk on in His will. You will be doing just what He told you that you will do.
(Matthew 17:21) But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
(Isaiah 1:19) If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Remember, My path is not a path broad and well traveled and only a few
are willing to travel it to the end. Many give up right before the
breaking of the dawn, but I do not want you to be among those who give
up. Keep on standing and moving forward in Me, despite what your
circumstances look like. While you press on, I will open your eyes, and
I will grant you greater understanding regarding My kingdom. My fire
will burn up the stubble, hindrances and blocks in your life, and My
Spirit will flood into those areas and cause My divine order and
presence to flow into them.

I am the lover of your soul. I long to give you good things for you,
just as you would do anything for the ones you love, I long to give
you My best. I long to spend time with you in sweet fellowship. I hear
every thought of your heart. I am here to answer, if you will only
listen and tune your ear to My voice. The busyness can overwhelm and
consume you. Take time away from your schedule to sit with Me in the
cool of the day and let Me sing over you with My love.

Everything is changing. This is happening now. In Heaven the new patterns have already been set because they always were. You ignore them. I have sent warning after warning and you did not repent. Today I am saying to you that unless you fast and pray like never before, My hand of judgment will not be lifted. My patience has run out and now I am bound by My word to bring you to your knees. My mercy is waiting in the wings to come in response to your cries and groaning in fasting prayer. My decision is made. What will you do? Business as usual? Or will you declare a fast and cry out day and night to Me until I lift My hand?

Speak, Lord, speak to my soul.
I wait for Your voice,
I'm longing to know
All You would have me to be,
To share Your heart,
To see as You see.

Draw me near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help me to hear.
Oh, my Father Above,
How I yearn in my heart
Just to know You more!


Send, Lord, Your Spirit to me,
To lift up my heart,
To set my soul free.
May my reflection of You
Be shining and clear
For others to see.


Draw me near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help me to hear.
Oh, my Father Above,
How I yearn in my heart
Just to know You more!

Some day in Heaven above,
Surrounding Your throne,
Rejoicing in love,
We'll share in treasures undreamed,
All gifts from Your heart
Our Master and King.


Draw us near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help us to hear.
Oh, our Father Above,
How we yearn in our hearts
Just to know You more.


Draw us near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help us to hear.
Oh, our Father Above,
How we yearn in our hearts
Just to know You more.

Draw us near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help us to hear.
Oh, our Father Above,
How we yearn in our hearts
Just to know You more,
O Lord!

You can see the mountains of Gerazim and Ebal from where you are, some physically and some spiritually. You look across the Valley of Jezreel (The Valley of God's Saving) at these two mountains. Today, you are surrounded by brothers who have become enemies and wish your destruction but you see these two mountains. On which will you establish your spiritual outpost? I say bless your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Turn to the Lord God Almighty Who alone is able to protect you completely. Inquire of Him daily. And as your enemies attack, pray for them. The battle is Mine says the Lord God. I always overcome. Gen 12:1-3 "Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing; and I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

I have designed your body to operate at such efficiency it is a challenge to know and understand all the intricacies. You are a fine tuned organic instrument designed to operate at top efficiency while at a rest. I don't mean a stagnant rest, but rest while you are moving about. While at rest you are able to accomplish more with less effort. There you have a clear channel to Me and can hear My voice. At rest the noises aren't heard which tune Me out. Often there are natural noises but you can still have rest. Yes even in times of unthinkable disaster you can enter My supernatural rest. Hebrews 4:1-2 "God's promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn't share the faith of those who listened to God."

Everything New New New




Revelation 21:1 through 5

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalmen, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new." Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

The Lord says "Why do you look for me in ways of the past? I am making everything new. The old heaven and the old earth are passing away."

Lately I have been astounded by all of the new ideas, new revelations, new science coming forth. I have been astounded by all of the old ideas, old revelations, and old science I have been hanging on as forever truth.

In life my sense of direction is almost always backwards. You can drive me somewhere and I will go in the front door and end up coming out the back! I find myself in life with thinking just like this.

I am forever astounded at the "newness" of the Lord. I expect Him to come in the front door when He forever comes in the back! Every prayer He has ever answered has come in a way unexpected or unforseen. He is the Lord, my God, of astounding incredible answers.

Why do we hold on to the past - old ideas - old thoughts - old science when He is coming with a new heaven and a new earth. His thoughts are above our thoughts. We cannot imagine what is in the heart of the Lord.

Pray that you will see Him in the new - the door unexpected. For He is showing up in new ways more as each day passes.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a road; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

New, New, New. Are you watching? The Lord is in the New. This time He is coming back as a Lion. Open thy eyes that thou might see.

Free from Self
September 27, 2008

Do you want to be free from self? Do you want to walk in all to which you have been called, looking neither to the right nor left, but keeping your eyes fixed on your Beloved, the Author and Finisher of your salvation, to bring you to that place of holiness that lies in knowing Him, knowing Him and the wonders of His grace?

You say, “Yes, Lord, this is exactly what I want!” I tell you, beloved, that you, as you travel this path that I have set before you, will know the wonders of My grace, and be freed totally from those things that entangle your feet, causing you to stumble. The path that I have selected for you is freeing. It brings much pleasure to a heart, but the road of the enemy leads to destruction.

So follow My course even when your mind tells you differently. Listen for My still, small voice, My direction, and then heed My instruction. I will bless your efforts. I will bless you in untold ways and I will free you, enabling you to know the pleasure of My company in a way you never dreamed possible.

Yes, that is what happens when one walks in the freedom that I provide. It is a freedom that delights a heart and enables one to rise above his circumstances into the sweet communion that one can have when he has surrendered his path to the Almighty, the One Who knows best and wants the best for His very own, His child, the object of His divine love!!!
