Speaking to the glory of the Lord!

OVERHEARING BUT IGNORING WHAT THEY SAID

Ignore what “they” say!  Ignore “their” words of doubt and unbelief.  Ignore ALL “their” words that do not line up with what the Lord  has spoken concerning your situation.  Continue to stand on His word knowing that He is more than able to perform just as HE SAID!!!  And in not too many days, you shall see the results of the self-fulfilling power of the Lord’s words.  Your victory is sure and imminent!  Hallelujah!!!
Mark 5:
35While He was still speaking, there came some from the ruler’s house, who said [to Jairus], Your daughter has died. Why bother and distress the Teacher any further?    36Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.

    37And He permitted no one to accompany Him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

    38When they arrived at the house of the ruler of the synagogue, He looked [carefully and with understanding] at [the] tumult and the people weeping and wailing loudly.

    39And when He had gone in, He said to them, Why do you make an uproar and weep? The little girl is not dead but is sleeping.

    40And they laughed and jeered at Him. But He put them all out, and, taking the child’s father and mother and those who were with Him, He went in where the little girl was lying.

    41Gripping her [firmly] by the hand, He said to her, Talitha cumi–which translated is, Little girl, I say to you, arise [from the sleep of death]!

    42And instantly the girl got up and started walking around–for she was twelve years old. And they were utterly astonished and overcome with amazement.

FOR THE HURTING AND WEARY…

This message is for those who are hurting and so weary this day.  Many are the very vessels that the Lord has chosen to raise up in these days to carry His glory.  The Lord would have you know that He is in control.  There is no trouble or problem that you now face which surprises your Lord.  He knows and sees all…even the end from the beginning.  His refining fires are at work purging all the dross from His precious vessels.  You are not alone for He is with you and watching ever so closely.  He will not allow the fire to burn for one second too long or one degree too hot.  What you feel is close to destroying you is actually making you into His precious vessel of honor. You are greatly loved and highly valued by the Lord.

But also know that the enemy recognizes and senses divine destiny and anointing on your lives.  Therefore he is attempting to plant seeds of fear, doubt, distrust, and unbelief to burden you down with worldly concerns. He plans to distract and hinder or even prevent you from fulfilling your high calling.  But lift up your heads and know from whence your help comes. This is your fight of faith.  Have faith in the Lord God Almighty and cast your cares upon Him.  He knows the plans He has for you and will lead you there.  This is a time in which you must trust in Him fully and as never before. It is not a time to just say you trust in Him, but the time to believe and rely on Him as your Provider, your Strength, your Defense, your High Tower, your All in All, your Blessed Hope.  You will see His marvelous works and wonders manifest on your behalf for He will surely and most certainly see you through and perfect all that concerns you.   Only Trust in Him and be not afraid!

 

I Peter 5:

 6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

 7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

 8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

 9Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

 10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

 11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT

There has been a detour set up on a roadway that we regularly travel for some time.  It has been a very difficult and dangerous stretch  to travel as the detour was very crooked requiring slow speed and keen awareness to maneuver through safely.  Under best conditions we could expect to sit in a slow moving line of backed-up traffic, and most days we found ourselves at a total standstill for long periods before moving on through.  But just this week we came upon the stretch of road only to discover that the detour was gone.  A short straight stretch of asphalt had replaced the dangerous crooked roadway.  There was no longer any delays or backed-up traffic with which to deal.  It was now just smooth sailing straight through…what had been so difficult had suddenly become so easy!
 
The Lord is speaking to many of you through this.  Hear His message and be blessed…
 
I have gone before you and made the way.  Now walk in it.
 
Exodus 23:
20Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
 
Isaiah 45:
2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

 

HIGH EXPECTATION

You are and have been waiting on the Lord. 
You are and have been expecting miracles. 
You have reached your due date (time). 
Delivery could come at any moment…even this day!   Rejoice in high expectation!  
 
Romans 8:
18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

A GREAT PRISON BREAK

The enemy has imprisoned many of the Lord’s servants without just cause .  He has thought to put you away and take you out of commission to prevent you from inflicting any further damage to his kingdom or plans.  But, even though you were wrongfully beaten and punished, terribly shackled and weighted down, and kept in a cold, dark dungeon for many years; you continued to minister unto and for your Lord just where you were!!!   Many of you had thought your imprisonment to be permanent for it seemed that the bars, shackles, weights, and locks holding you were too strong to ever be broken.  But with God all things are possible!  Your consistent and persistent prayer and praise has reached the throne of grace.  And as the Lord has deemed it time to set you free, nothing is now able to imprison you….no weakness or infirmity, no poverty or lack, no disadvantage or lack of opportunity, no plan or plot of man or of any demon from the pit of hell!  NO NOTHING can hold you to keep you from the release of the Lord! There is now a great shaking and an even greater shaking coming to the very foundation of the kingdom of darkness.  Shackles and bars are breaking, and weights and locks are being cast aside as prison doors swing wide open.  There is a great prison break for the loyal servants of the Most High God!!!  You shall not only be freed to walk forth into a new and larger place of service, but you will bring out many with you from where you have been.  The Lord is releasing you and lifting you up.  The very people who served to hold you down and help imprison you will now be turned for the Lord’s purposes…some even unto salvation and others simply to be used as vessels to assist you in your way.  You are not coming out lowly or in secret.  No, you are coming out exalted by the hand of the Lord and in full sight of those who have attempted to keep you imprisoned.  Rejoice in the shaking for it is indeed the Lord’s decreed time for a great prison break!  Whatever stronghold that you thought was holding you from being released into your God ordained destiny is being broken through by the Lord God Almighty!!!  Rejoice and sing unto your Lord for it is time for your release!!! 
 
Acts 16:
16And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

 18And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

 19And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

 20And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

 21And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

 22And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

 23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

 24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

 25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

 26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

 27And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

 28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

 29Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

 30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

 31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

 32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

 33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

 34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

 35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

 36And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

 37But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

 38And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

 39And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

 40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

PROMOTION

I AM raising you up.  You have humbled yourself and been abased before Me and man.  You have become the least of these and suffered the persecution of that position.  From that place you have felt the pain and agony of every day in every way.  But in that place you learned of Me.  You learned of My great love and favor.  You learned of My ways.  You learned how to praise and worship Me out of  the pureness of heart.  You sought only Me in love and have found Me in My fullness.  Now I lift you up out of the dung hill to place you among the great ones of the earth.  Be not surprised by the rapid and sudden turn of events in your life.  For now you will take My heart and ways to those who think that they see and brag of their riches;  but who are in fact poor, pitiable, and blind.  They will now see Me through you.  I will make you as the great ones of the earth as you lift and glorify Me!  You will take Me to those who are blind that they may truly see!!!
 
Psalm 75:
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

OPEN DOOR

 

You have been confined even imprisoned in a tight, hard place for a very long time.  You have grown so weary in the contending,  but you still sit before the Lord praying for your open door.  The Lord is now swinging open that door before you .  It shall swing wide suddenly so be ready, but rest assured that no man…not even you can shut this door that the Lord is opening.  Just see and recognize the open door and know that it is the Lord’s doing.  Don’t hesitate to walk through this door for it will lead you into the large place that the Lord has for you.  Be very watchful and ready for it is your midnight hour, and the Lord is moving on your behalf.
 
II Samuel 22:
20He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.  

JUST AHEAD

The Lord is sending this message to a specific group of believers who have been holding onto a prophetic word to get them through very rough times.  The word that you have been holding onto is :  Your best days are ahead.  But today you are so distressed and discouraged that you are thinking of giving up.  For though it has seemed as if your circumstances were as dire as they could be,  they now seem to be worsening.  It has become very hard for you to hold onto hope, and your Lord knows this.  He is sending this message to you to confirm and expound on what He has already spoken.  This is what He is saying to you today: 
 
Your best days are JUST ahead! 
 
That one little word, JUST,  is all that He is adding.   But that one little word changes everything.  It will give you back  your hope.  For indeed your best days are JUST ahead .  That means they are immediately and directly before you.  Now even though it may look the darkest it has been, the Lord works from darkness to light.  And be assured that He will keep sending the light of His word to show you where to place your foot for that next step.  He has already gone before you to make the way.  Just keep on taking one step at a time as He directs  for you are coming out of the darkness into the light.  Don’t grow weary in well doing, and don’t give up.  For surely your best days are JUST ahead!!!
Genesis 1:
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

IRREVOCABLE

The gifts and calling of the Lord are irrevocable.  So, no matter what has transpired in your life; no matter how unlikely or impossible it may seem; no matter how high the odds are stacked against you;  no matter what weapons the enemy has used against you…even your own flesh…WHAT THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY HAS DECREED AND ESTABLISHED IN THE HEAVENLIES SHALL BE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!!!  The Lord God is faithful, and it is done!!!  A great and effectual door is opened before you but with it come many adversaries.  Now is the time to pick up the sword of the Lord and wield it mightily against all the forces that are arrayed against you.  Declare and decree what you have heard the Lord declare and decree concerning you, and watch all those forces of the enemy fall as if dominoes all in a row.
 
Romans 11:
29For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

 

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN
 
It all started several days ago when a penny seemingly fell out of the sky and hit me on the shoulder while I was driving my car.  Every day since, a penny has fallen around or on me.  Yesterday I finally realized  that the Lord was trying to show me something.  As I looked at yesterday’s penny, I heard in my Spirit..Pennies from heaven.  I looked up the meaning of the phrase and found this:
 
From Oxford English Dictionary:
“e. pennies from heaven: money acquired without effort or risk; unexpected benefits, esp. financial ones. Also (in sing.): a windfall, a godsend (rare).
 
This is the message I received from the Lord:
 
You have thought that you were becoming completely penniless….that all your resources were being depleted.  But I say unto you, fear not!  I AM with you, and I will now open My treasuries of heaven to rain upon you My supernatural abundance.  You will walk in My wealth to do My business.  You shall not be without the resources needed to achieve My goals.  You will complete that which I have burdened you with for I will provide ALL that is needed.  The enemy is attempting to cut off your supply lines in the natural, but you operate from a higher place.  I AM above all of the world and will provide in My ways.  Even now I have My angels dispatched on your behalf to bring forth your abundant provision.  Rejoice My children for you shall overcome and succeed in the face of your enemies.  Prepare to receive My abundance designated specifically for you!  Your table is prepared!
 
Psalm 23:
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
