*During worship I saw upside-down musical notes going by on a bass staff. There were only bass notes, no melody, and I could hear the sound of the bass loudly pounding throughout the song with only pieces of the melody coming through in the distance very infrequently.
The Lord says, “I AM speaking to those who are brokenhearted…those who can only hear the bass notes and feel the pounding thump of the drumming bass overpowering them…those who can no longer sing or even hear the melody of the song of life. I AM near to the brokenhearted. I AM not calling you to try to climb the heights or sing the melody or even to try to keep up with the pace of the pounding bass notes.
I AM calling you to prostrate yourself at My feet and to feel the vibrations of the beating bass because My heartbeat is aligning with it to draw near to your brokenness. I AM near to those who have a broken heart, and I save those with a contrite spirit.
Feel the beat of My heart and let Me restore your song.
Psalm 34:18

Accessible Inheritance
Beloved Ones, for those who are willing to put away childish things and move on into maturity, 2011 will be a year of transitioning into your prophetic destiny.
An inheritance is put into trust for a child until he comes into maturity. He has legal rights to it, but limited accessibility.
It is time to stop cowering under the cover of worldly things and to stand upright in Me. It is time to leave the things of your earthly father’s house and come to take possession of the things that belong to your heavenly Father’s house. Leave behind your earthly and childish fears and loves to come into oneness with your Betrothed of Heaven.
No longer will you be called “Much-Afraid”, for I AM changing your name to “Braveheart”. You will rise above the fears that have kept you bound and you will walk in the freedom of one who knows who he is and Whose he is. You will face your enemy and plunder him because you possess the full and free access to your inheritance in Me.
Rise up, Bravehearts, and stand upright in and beside the One who is your betrothed Beloved and your prophetic destiny!
1 Corinthians 13:11; 1 Peter 1:3-5; Isaiah 62:2-5; Romans 8:19-21; 2 Corinthians 11:2

Shaking, Quaking, and Breaking Ground
Beloved Ones, I have told you that there is a shift that is happening in the heavenlies and that I AM bringing breakthrough. This heavenly shift will cause a shift in the earth which will “break ground” for a new season of Kingdom building. I have also told you that it may not look like you expect it to look because I AM doing a new thing in this new season. The ground breaking that is coming will look more like an earthquake in the natural with all the markings of shaking, quaking, and breaking open “false” foundations. I AM shaking those things which can be shaken so that only those things which cannot be shaken remain.
It is imperative that you make sure that you are standing on the One who is the “Rock” and not on clay (the things of man), sand (things that are unstable because of the weathering and decomposition effects of time) or other earthly things. It is also essential that you have a life that is in accordance with being a DOER of My word and not a hearer only. Those who are hearers only and not doers of the word are self-deceived.
The storms are coming…the rains will descend, the floods will come, and the winds will blow. Things will be shaken and earthly foundations will be broken open, causing rifts and divisions between those who are solid in Me and those who are not. Those who give lip service to “unity” and “oneness” and “peace” apart from true unity in Me, oneness with Me, and the genuine peace that only comes from My abiding righteousness will be unable to maintain the facades that have allowed them to keep their illusions intact. Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth…I did not come to bring peace but a sword…the sword of the Spirit which is My word and separates between soul and spirit…which discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart. Soulish things must be cut away in this season so that the things of the spirit will grow strong and remain. Do not settle for the false peace that the world gives…you will not be able to stand on it in the day of trouble. I AM separating to Myself those who are being sanctified into My holiness by My Holy Spirit in obedience to My word. And so, let those who think they stand pay attention so that they do not fall.
Hebrews 12:25-26, 4:11-13; 1 Corinthians 10:12; Matthew 7:24-27, 10:34; James 1:22-24; Romans 8:12-14

Maintaining A Thankful Heart
Beloved Ones, those who really KNOW Me know that I AM good; that My mercy is everlasting, and My truth endures forever. Isn’t this reason enough to be thankful and to bless My name? Thanksgiving and praise usher you into My presence, which is where you will find the fullness of joy. There are times when it will be a sacrifice for you to offer to Me thanksgiving. These are the times when you can call upon My name and know that I AM with you to help you.
The heavens declare My glory. The expanse of My creation boasts of the work of My hands. Every day speaks of My goodness and every night reveals My knowledge. There is no place where their voice is not heard telling of who I AM. Shouldn’t the man that I created give praise and thanks that is equal to the least of My creation?
Those who refuse to be thankful, nor praise Me as God become futile in their thinking. They become vain and frivolous, lacking serious value and substance, having no sense of responsibility, and having no practical effect or useful result from their existence. Their hearts become darkened and foolishness becomes their legacy of dishonor.
Thankfulness and gratitude are interchangeable with grace. A heart full of thanks and gratitude is a heart which presents favorable regard of Me and brings Me pleasure and delight. It reflects gracious forbearance and knowledge that I AM close at hand. Focus on whatever things are true, whatever things have excellent moral character, whatever things are fair and right, whatever things are pure and clear, whatever things are lovely, and whatever things are of a good report and good quality. Meditate on anything that is praiseworthy. It is My will that you rejoice always, pray constantly, and have a thankful heart in everything. If you do these things you will have the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding and it will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Three Phases of This Season - Part Three - "Drive"
Beloved Ones, it is in Christ that you live and move and have your being (existence, essential nature, and life in the present tense). I have predetermined your appointed times and the boundaries of your life, so that you would seek Me, in the hope that you might grope for Me (clutch Me, cling to Me, and hold fast to Me) and find Me…to know Me as I AM. As you clutch with Me and shift with Me in this season, you will find new freedom to thrust yourself forward into the destiny that I have for you with new zeal and drive. You will know, by My Spirit, the liberty that you have in Christ Jesus and you will move with a freedom that comes from being shifted into the higher gear of the Kingdom.
The freedom for this forward thrust will come from the knowledge that I uphold all things by the word of My power. You are secure in Me. I AM before all things, and in Me all things consist (stand or fall together). Clutch Me, shift with Me, and freely thrust yourself forward in Me…casting off the old and driving forward with the power that comes from knowing that it is in Me that you live and move and have your being.
Acts 17:26-28; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Hebrews 1:3; Colossians 1:17

Three Phases of This Season - Part Two - "Shift'
Beloved Ones, as you cling to Me as your source of life and remember the testimony of My goodness to you, the release from the bondages of the past will be broken and you will shift into a higher Kingdom gear. You will easily pass through the hardships that have held you back and find ease in this new level of your Kingdom destiny.
This shift will be the result of the One who breaks open the way before you…I AM the Master of Breakthroughs…this is why you must clutch, cling, and hold fast to Me at your head so that you are in position to shift with Me into your breakthrough. As you shift with Me, you will pass through the enemy strongholds and leave your idols behind in the dust. They will no longer have a hold on you and you will find yourself free to move forward with a new strength. You will fear the Lord and My goodness in the days to come which will cause you to tremble at My word. You will find you are strengthened by joy and you will have a drive that will thrust you forward in My power because you know that I AM with you to cause you to pass through to victory in every circumstance.
Clutch with Me, clinging to My testimonies. Shift with Me, passing through with the Master of Breakthroughs and leaving behind the routine ruts of old patterns of idolatry. The best is yet to come!
Deuteronomy 30:20; Micah 2:13; 2 Samuel 5:20-21; Hosea 3:5; Isaiah 43:2-13

Three Phases of This Season - Part One - "Clutch"
Beloved Ones, there are three distinct phases to this present season and they must happen in the correct order…clutch, shift, and drive.
Although things may appear to be in a “neutral” gear in the natural and there doesn’t appear to be any forward motion, know that this is a necessary step in the process. This is the time to “clutch”, cling, and hold tightly to Me, your God. Set your focus to love Me, to obey My voice, and to cling to Me because I AM your life and your length of days. Do not allow your present circumstances to distract you from choosing the way of truth. Cling to My testimonies…the remembrance of what I have done in the past and know that I AM working on your behalf even in this time of apparent inactivity. This is a time when I AM putting devices into action that will enable you to be disconnected from what has become to you the custom and tradition of what lies behind so that you can be smoothly connected to what lies ahead and move forward into the next level of your destiny with power.
Clutch Me, Beloved Ones…hold tightly to Me, alone…and cling to the truths that you know. I AM enlarging your heart to take you to another level of Kingdom experience. There is life and blessing yet to come.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Psalm 119:30-32
