Beloved Ones I AM looking for Kingdom people who will empty themselves so as to be FILLED with my Spirit. I AM looking for a Bride whose lamp is filled with oil as she waits for her Bridegroom’s coming. This Bride is full of light because she looks to the One who is Light for her life. I AM looking for Kingdom people who are fully Mine, who are a Bride with an undivided heart.
Will you be people who put off religious pretense in order to really know Me? Will you empty yourselves of blame, judgments, and gossip so that you can do what is right? Will you empty yourselves of the heavy expectations that you put on others so that they can be free to be and to do what I have called them to be and to do? Will you empty yourselves of your own agendas and plans so that you can be available to Me and to your own families? Will you empty yourselves from pursuing your own pleasures and find your delight in Me? Will you empty yourselves from speaking your own words and find out what I want to say about a matter? Will you empty yourselves of covetous gain and share what you have with those in need?
When you empty yourselves of these things and find your delight in Me then I will satisfy your souls even in drought, and strengthen your bodies. You will be filled with life that doesn’t fail. You will raise up, rebuild, repair, and restore those things which the enemy has made into a desolate wasteland. THIS is what it is to be Kingdom people.
2 Kings 4:1-7; Matthew 25:1-13, 12:25-30; Luke 11:33-36; Isaiah 58

The Bright and Morning Star Arising
Beloved Ones, it is time for My Church, My Bride to awaken and arise out of her slumber for the days are soon coming when darkness will cover the earth. There will be an increasing of restlessness and turmoil even within what is called My church, My house. Those who have a true knowledge of God and of Jesus as Lord (as their “First Love”) will also know that I have given them all things that are suitable to life and godliness. Those who hold Me in highest esteem and acknowledge the excellence of My power will be connected to Me in such a way as to participate with Me in the divine nature, escaping the corruption and depravity that is in the world through lust.
I AM the Bright and Morning Star. I AM He who breaks through the darkness. I AM your “true north” even in the darkness and I AM closer than you imagine. I come quickly…in an instant… Those who are looking to Me will see and know My power with them, but those who are sleeping or looking elsewhere will not be witnesses to the breaking forth of My Kingdom that is near them.
Those who are born of God will overcome the darkness. Hold fast what you have till I come. Keep My works until the end and I will give you power over the "company of darkness" through the morning star that rises in your hearts.
Isaiah 60:1-3; 2 Peter 1:2, 19; Revelation 2:18-29, 22:12-17; John 6:29-40

Deprivation and Provision
Beloved Ones, there have been times of deprivation because there are consuming forces in the earth whose focus and intent is to kill, steal, and destroy. You, however, are not a people of deprivation, but a people of provision. I will redeem all that the locust has eaten and restore all that concerns you. Your provision will not be seen in the earthly realm because it will come from heavenly resources.
You are a people of provision and are called to be a blessing in the earth. You are called to receive and release heavenly blessings from the storehouse of heaven into the earth according to My word. You are blessed to be a blessing. It is when you look to Me as your provision, Jehovah- Jireh “The Eternal Living One Will Provide”, that you will come into alignment with the flow of that provision out of the resources of heaven. These resources are unlimited and abundant, including every possible point of need. Return to the stronghold of your God, you prisoners of hope! I will perfect that which concerns you and will not abandon the work of My hands.
You are a people of provision, blessed to be a blessing.
Joel 2:23-27; Psalm 78:35; Jeremiah 30:16-17; Zechariah 9:12; Psalm 138:8

Favor vs. Entitlement
Beloved Ones, you are My favored ones for I have given you life and favor, and My care has preserved your spirit. My favor is rooted in grace and is for a lifetime. My favor is as a shield around you. It is because of My favor that I fight for you with My strong arm to save you and it is because of My favor in the light of My countenance that you can know My pleasure. I favor your righteous cause; I take pleasure in the prosperity of My servants. My favor is a gift of grace. It comes out of the generous abundance of My heart. You must learn to eat from this abundant fruit that is rooted in the Tree of Life by the Holy Spirit. Favor is yours because you are sons and daughters of the Living God. Favor is the bread of the children of God. Favor belongs to My church and is exercised by resting in Me and My goodness. It is life giving and yours to receive simply by birthright.
Entitlement has no place in My church. Entitlement is self-seeking. It strives for what one thinks is due him. Entitlement is rooted in the Tree of Knowledge and partaking of its fruit leads to death. Entitlement is a work of the law and is exercised through the self-striving flesh. Cease striving and know that I AM God.
Increased discernment is crucial in these days. Ask Me for it and I will freely give it to you. The line between truth and error is increasingly becoming blurred, but My people are to KNOW Me and walk in My ways. KNOW My favor. KNOW My goodness. KNOW Me. Those who KNOW their God will be strong, and do great exploits.
Receive My favor by grace. Rest in it, and KNOW that My goodness is working on your behalf in all things.
Job 10:12; Psalm 5:12, 30:5, 35:27, 44:3; Daniel 11:32

The Body
Beloved Ones, there is no place in My body for a competitive spirit. It works against the Holy Spirit. Does it bring health and wholeness for the kidney to elevate itself over the lung, or for the mouth to elevate itself over the eye, or for the ear to elevate itself over the heart?
You are not your own. You were bought at a price; therefore glorify God because you have been baptized into one body with many members and just ONE Spirit. The body is not one member but many, and I have set each one of the members in the body just as I please. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the smelling? Is one more important than another? Should one receive greater honor than another? What would happen if the heart decided to elevate itself above the brain? What would be the benefit for the brain to elevate itself above the lung? The body must work together as one; if one member suffers the whole body suffers.
You are the Body of Christ and members individually. Be of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others. Consider that you are part of something bigger than yourselves. You are each an important part of the whole, but none is greater than another. There should be no vying for position (which creates schisms and divisions), but rather all the members rejoicing together in the honor that comes to the Body through wholeness.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Philippians 2:1-4

Staying Current
Beloved Ones, I AM faithful even when you are not. It is My nature to be so, and My faithfulness endures to all generations. I AM trustworthy and reliable to work My goodness on your behalf. You can be at rest in that, but you must also understand that floating along in the “Lazy River” ultimately gets you nowhere. You will not progress in Me, but will merely go around in circles just as My people circled around in the wilderness for forty years. That is because this attitude is rooted in unbelief and fear.
True freedom is found by entering into the current of My Holy Spirit. Yes, sometimes the current is fast and the waters are deep, but it is by staying in the flow of My Spirit that you progress into your promised destiny.
Today if you hear My voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, for true rest is found in obedience. Be faithful as I AM faithful. Jump into the current of My Holy Spirit! The water is fine...and…I AM here to catch you.
1 Corinthians 1:9; Psalm 119:90; Hebrews 3:7-19; 2 Corinthians 3:17

First The Natural And Then The Spiritual
Beloved One, what happens in the natural is often a picture of what will be in the spiritual. What you have seen through the grass fires, unpredicted rainstorms, and powerful wind storms of late are mere whispers of what I AM doing.
Many have been in a dry season where the grass seems greener on the other side of the fence, but I AM telling you that I will consume all of the wood, hay, and stubble in your life with the fire of My Holy Spirit. Even what was green and seemed to be good will be removed so that My best can come forth in your life. Through the charred remains will arise new growth, new life, and new purpose.
The heavy rains are as My mercies that I send from Heaven to water the ground of your heart, to quench your parched dryness and to soften it so that the weeds are easily plucked up by the roots. This is a season to root out those things that would choke out Kingdom fruitfulness in your life. Receive My mercies for strengthening those good things.
The powerful wind of My Spirit is blowing to remove the chaff, the worthless things and to knock down the obstacles that hinder you from progressing into your destiny.
Sing with thanksgiving in your heart for this season of new growth, new life, and new purpose in Me.
1 Corinthians 15:45-49, 3:12-13; Psalm 130:7-8; Psalm 147:7-8
