Beloved Ones, self-doubt and past regret are the two walls of a very deep and narrow hole. In this position you are below ground zero. There is no way to go forward and going back is impossible as well. The only way out is up.
Have you fallen down into the darkness of this hole of self-doubt and past regret and there was no one to help? Look up, I AM your help! Have you wandered into this desolate place and waited for someone to lift you out? Look up, I AM your help! The darkness of despair may envelope you in that place, but far above you is the light of hope. Look up, for the Lord upholds all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down. I AM the sovereign God who redeems your life from the pit of destruction and works all things together for your good and My purposes. Call out to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know and have not seen.
I have told you that the only way out is up. You already have everything that you need to lift yourself up and out of that hole. NOT by the strength of your arms for the reach is too high for you, but by the truth of My Word which I have sent to heal you and to deliver you from all of your destructions. STAND on My Word! Look to Me and lift your foot from standing in that place below ground zero. Look to the light of the truth of My healing Word of deliverance and take one step up at a time… lift your foot up and step on self-doubt… then lift your other foot up and step on past regret. Take another step on the steep wall of self-doubt and another step on the other equally steep wall of past regret… one step of faith at a time… moving in the direction of My light… the truth of My Word…up and up… until you are out on level ground again, bathed in the light of My truth, and crushing the dark underground of self-doubt and past regret underneath your feet.

WORD FOR 2012
2012 is a year of INCREASE, of JUDGMENT, and of AUTHORITY. It is not the end of the world as some have predicted, but it is the end of worldliness in My people who are called My Church. I AM making a distinction between that which is spiritual and that which is natural. He who is spiritual will arise and rightly judge all things by My Spirit so that he may know what has been freely given to him by God; yet, he himself will be rightly judged by no one because the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are spiritually discerned. The fear of God will increase among those who are lovers of the truth, who continue to persevere through patience and faith. They will find increased discernment to see and receive those things which I have prepared for those who love Me. There will be an increased harvest of My Kingdom through those who have sown to the Spirit. There will also be an increased harvest of fleshly corruption through those who have sown to the flesh. Those who have pleasure in unrighteousness will increase in deception through the hardness of their unrepentant hearts.
The hidden things of darkness will be revealed as light increases. This will bring a separating out of the things which are true from those which are false and will result in a more determinedly righteous alignment for increased authority and power of My Kingdom to manifest its flow in the earth. Fulfill the pleasure of My goodness and the work of faith with power. You are worthy of this calling according to My grace.
Galatians 6:7-7-8; 1 Corinthians 2:6-16; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-2:17; Romans 2:1-10;

Ever Wonder Why God Allows The Things That Happen To Happen?
Sometimes "free will" sucks. The end result of sin (when it has completed its course) is death. God gave us free will as a gift so that we could choose to love because without choice we would just be robots. Love always gives a choice. He created all things "good" and created humans for companionship because He wants us to know Him...Who alone is the source of goodness and life. He entrusted all that He created to be good to human beings to maintain through right relationship with Him and told them to take dominion in the earth and bring it under His authority (His good Kingdom rule of righteousness). Adam and Eve chose instead to give their power over to Satan's influence (evil) by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good AND evil thus inviting evil into the earth to coexist with all that God created to be "good". Now sin flourishes in the earth through people who choose to exercise their "right" to know and to do good and evil.
Fortunately God had a plan of redemption through His Son, Jesus, who came to earth as a human being to live a sinless life (choosing only good) and through the knowledge of the perfect love of the Father became the ultimate sacrifice for sin so that we could be reconciled to God in right relationship (because He is loving AND just...a just God cannot allow sin (evil) to continue without a penalty but a loving God cannot be unforgiving towards those who repent of their wrongs. So in Jesus we have a way to have the penalty of our sins paid for and to come back into right relationship with a living and good God who gives us a life of goodness for eternity with Him who choose to surrender to His authority. We are adopted into His family through a spiritual “rebirth”. We then, also have the honor of being His representatives in the earth to make Him known to those who don't know His goodness and through obedience to His rule (as revealed in His word, the Bible and by the indwelling power of His Holy Spirit which He gives to us when we choose to accept Jesus' life exchanged for ours) we become His ambassadors in the earth while we are here to bring His righteousness (His "rightness") where we can because of those that our lives touch and influence. We endure with Christ in suffering for a little while on earth looking forward to eternal life with Him and doing His work while we can to bring as many as possible with us into Glory (Heaven)!
And THAT is the true meaning of Christmas!

Wrestling In The Presence vs. Worshiping In The Presence
Beloved Ones, when you meet with Me face to face, is it for wrestling or for worship? I will bless either way because you are Mine and because it is My nature to bless. I can bless wherever I find faith to believe in Me, but…the results will be different according to your faith, your focus, and the kind of fruit-bearing seed that you are sowing. There is a sowing and reaping principle in everything. When you sow to the flesh, you reap of the flesh; and when you sow to the spirit, you reap of the spirit.
Jacob met Me face to face in Peniel and he wrestled with Me for a blessing. He wrestled with Me until the break of dawn thinking that I did not want to bless him. I remained resisting him because I longed to give him a greater blessing than the one that he sought. He had an agenda. He sought a natural blessing and in the end that is what he got. He was redeemed from his old identity and restored to all that was rightfully his in the natural. However, he walked away from the face of God with a limp, with his life preserved, but out of alignment with the supernatural flow of the Kingdom which comes through prioritizing the Presence of God in worship.
Joshua met Me face to face near Jericho. He also had an agenda…to know whether I was for him or for his adversaries. The difference is that when Joshua saw Me for who I AM, he laid down his agenda, bowed his face to the holy ground, and worshiped the Presence of the One who had come and was with him. He took off his sandal, staying in that place and posture of worship…dwelling in the Presence and lingering there until I spoke heavenly revelation for him to do otherwise. He stayed in alignment with the Presence of the Holy One and afterward he was witness and participant to the supernatural flow of the Kingdom that felled the walls surrounding Jericho.
Prioritizing worshiping My Presence sows into the spirit because I AM spirit. It is in worshiping My Presence that you are transformed from glory to glory…from the glory of redeemed natural identity to the glory of transformed supernatural identity. It is the difference between being empowered with natural strength and being empowered with supernatural strength. It is the difference between having your life preserved or My life transferred.

Assessment For Alignment
Beloved Ones, this is the beginning of a new year by My spiritual calendar. It is a time to come to Me for an accurate assessment of yourself. There are old things that have an expiration date in the past that need to be let go of in order to make room for embracing the new things of the current and coming seasons. This is a time for getting your personal house in order…the physical house of your body, the physical house of your home, the physical house of your relationships, the physical house of your business, and the physical house of your ministry so that your spiritual house will come into alignment with My Kingdom flow and all of the fullness that I intend for you.
I have set certain laws in place from which to operate in the earth. There are laws of nature that are binding forces and principles within which life flows, parameters through which the natural and the spiritual function…or don’t function. What is sown in the natural will be reaped in the spiritual as well; first the natural and then the spiritual. The spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
Those who will receive My truthful assessment and come into alignment with Me will be those who will be positioned to receive, contain, and disperse the flow of My Kingdom in this season. They will become the new wineskins that will receive, contain, and disperse the new wine of My Spirit. I cannot put the new wine into the old wineskins because they are not able to contain it without bursting…the wine will be spilled out useless and the wineskins will be ruined. I desire to make you into newly suitable vessels for My glorious Kingdom purposes.
My Kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Through aligning yourselves with My true assessment you will be those who make things right, who move in peace, and who are motivated by joy.
1 Corinthians 15:46; Isaiah 43:18-21; Matthew 9:16-17; Romans 14:17

Kingdom People
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
