SECRETS

I have promised to share My secrets with those who fear Me, and I will show them My covenant.  The day will come when the secrets of men will be judged.

I have promised to reveal those things that are done in secret. For there is nothing hid that shall not be manifested, nor any thing kept secret, but that it shall come abroad.

Many things are being done in secret as the Anti-Christ spirit is preparing for the coming of the Anti-Christ.  I know the plans of the devil.  They are written in My book.  Do not fear for My Spirit will prepare you for the days that are ahead.  You are about to see a great unveiling of many of My enemy's plots.

PSALM 25:14; MARK 4:22; LUKE 8:17; ROMANS 2:16

IMPAIR

The word, "impair," means to weaken, reduce, make worse, deteriorate.  The intent of My enemy is to impair nations so that he can take advantage of their weaknesses. I have promised to give you the nations as your inheritance. Hold on to that promise in these last days.

Your nation became impaired when ungodly decisions were made by your leaders and citizens began doing their own will instead of My will.

You could easily lose hope when you see the darkness in the world, but I told you that in the world you would experience tribulation. Allow Me to strengthen you to do the warfare necessary to pull down the evil plans of My enemy.  Remember that you are not impaired spiritually because greater am I in you than he that is in the world. 

PSALM 2:8; 1 JOHN 4:4

LAST

I said that the first shall be last.  I am disciplining My church, and there are many churches that have been first in number, first in beautiful buildings, and first in wealth.  I am interested in hearts not numbers.

You will see that I am shaking and sorting.  I am collecting those hearts, not people in these last days.  Those who are seeking Me with all of their hearts are the ones I have chosen to be My laborers in this last worldwide harvest.

Many of My beloved are finally hearing My voice, and are discovering that there are things that have been first in their lives that need to be last if they are going to receive My anointing to do greater things than I did while I walked on Earth.  Cooperate with My Holy Spirit as He is conforming you and transforming you in these last days.  Commit your way and works to Him and My Spirit will put your priorities in order.

PSALM 37:5; PROVERBS 16:3

TIMELY

Some people on earth want to do things in a timely fashion and because they do, they get impatient with those who are never on time.  Some people today are even getting impatient with Me.  They want to see Me do something about the situation they are experiencing in America and throughout the world.

They forget that I live in dimensions where there is no time.  One day is as 1,000 years.  Many are trying to guess when I might return.  They forget that I am timeless.  I am the same today, yesterday, and forever.  My time is not the same as your time, and My ways are not the same as your ways.

I want you to be at peace right now in the dark world that you are experiencing all around you.  You want to be delivered from it, but I have chosen that I, Who am the light of the world, can grant you the light of My presence with you.  Take time right now and often to receive the reality of My presence with you,  and you will be a peace and not impatient any more.

HEBREWS 13:8; ISAIAH 55:9

SLOW

Some people are slow to recognize the signs of the times.  Such was the case with My disciples.  They had no idea about what I was trying to tell them when I said that the day would come when I would no longer with them.  They asked Me where I was going. My reply even caused them more confusion..

There are so many in your nation now who are slow to understand what is happening to your nation and all over the world.  When you read My Word and ask My Holy Spirit to interpret My word to you, you will not be ignorant of the season you are now experiencing. 

You are in that season of the beginning of sorrows. I want you to be prepared always for My return. You will be prepared if you do the following three things: abide in Me, abide in My Word, abide in My love. To abide means to dwell.  When these three things are daily your dwelling place, you will be ready for My return. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high, shall abide under the shelter of My Father.

MATTHEW 24:44; PSALM 91:1

CHOICE

Life is laced with choices.  You were given free will so that you can choose to love Me.  Those who choose to love Me will have meaning and purpose in their lives. If you choose to live for yourself and yourself only, you will never discover the excellent plans I have for you. 

I am the life, and I am the One Who breathed life into you when you took your first breath.  I even gave you My light when you were conceived.  I am the Light of the world who lights every person who comes into the world.  Sadly many people have chosen to walk in darkness rather than My light.

I chose you to be mine forever and all eternity.  However, you can choose to receive My offer of salvation or refuse it.  Today pray for those who have not yet chosen life in Me.  I long for them to confess Me as their Lord and Savior.  When they do, their lives will be meaningful, joyful, and fruitful.

JOHN 14:6, 1:8-9, 12

ELEVATE/ ALLEVIATE

Both elevate and alleviate are words that mean to lift higher or to lighten a load.  During these troublesome times in your nation, the only way to help keep you from being anxious and fearful is to elevate your thoughts.

If you concentrate on all the negative things in your daily news, your mind will be quickly submerged in a deep ocean of worry.  The way to fight fear and anxiety is to be intentional and think about those things mentioned in Philippians 4:8.  This passage exhorts you to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy.  

A quick way to alleviate discouragement and distress is to set your affection on things that are above,  not on things on the earth. Remind yourself that you are in this world, but not of this world.

PHILIPPIANS 4:8; COLOSSIANS 3:2; JOHN 16:33

SEARCH

When you were a child, you loved to go on scavenger hunts where you searched for certain items on your list.  I want you to see that reading My Word daily is like a scavenger hunt where you discover words of wisdom, principles, and promises that may have been hidden most of your life.

Reading My Word is truly a treasure hunt, and the riches that you gain by searching out scriptures in My Word will be riches that are eternal.  Once you have found what you were searching for, it is not good enough just to rejoice that you found it.

True rejoicing comes when you apply the principle, promise, or precept to your life.  The changes that My Word can make in your life as your mind is renewed pays dividends that will last for all eternity.

ACTS 17:10-12; ROMANS 12:2

SMALL

I love small things.  There are kings and governments that think they are great, but when they forget Who is the greatest, those kings and governments have lost their greatness. 

I love people who think they are small, but they are willing to humble themselves before Me daily and tell Me that I am their King and their Lord.  When they worship Me with a heart that desires to do My will, they are great in My sight.

You may think that what you do daily is a small thing in My great kingdom on Earth, but I tell you today that as you receive a fresh anointing daily from Me, I will enable you to do great things.  Remember My promise to My disciples when I said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He who believes on Me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do; because I  go to My Father."

JOHN 14:12

SKIP

Remember when you used to enjoy skipping as a child.  I gave you some instructions today that sounded strange, but because you love Me, you followed My instructions.  I told you to skip around your house.

When you started skipping, suddenly My joy filled your heart.  Little children skip because they are joyful.  Remember holding hands and skipping down the hill to meet your father who with his arms wide open to receive you when you reached where he was stooping at eyelevel to receive you.

I am coming soon.  You did not know it, but My Word says what I will be doing when I come to receive My church.  I will be skipping because this will be a joyous occasion for Me.  Song of Solomon 2:8: "The voice of my beloved behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. My Word says that I rejoice over you with singing.  Now you can picture Me rejoicing over you with skipping. 

SONG OF SOLOMON 2:8; ZEPHANIAH 3:17

EAT

There is much in My Word about eating.  Leviticus is full of the dietary laws - what to eat and not to eat. I created you to enjoy food.  That is why I gave you the sense of taste.

There are also warnings in My Word about eating too much or being very careful not to eat with certain people.

There is one thing I want you to eat daily and that is My Word.  The psalmist David wrote, "How sweet are Your words to my taste! yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!  I give you the invitation to come break bread with Me daily as you read My Word.  ENJOY!!

PSALM 119;103

PRIVILEGE

You like it when you are given special privileges by others.  Usually those special privileges are only temporary.  There is a special privilege that I want to give you each day.

That special privilege is the privilege of  prayer.  That privilege gives you rewards that are eternal.  Praying for others is a wonderful privilege that will bring My healing, deliverance, and presence to so many lives.

Neither time nor space limits how effective your prayers for others can be.  You can pray for My angels to comfort and deliver persecuted Christians throughout the world and I will send My angels to them.  Praying for others helps you get out of the selfish mode and into My mode which is to extend My love and help to everyone.

ACTS 1:14, 2:42

AMBASSADOR

I do lead you in paths of righteousness for My name's sake.  I want you always to stay on this path because you represent Me on earth.  You are My ambassador on Earth and you represent My kingdom to others. 

My kingdom is not meat and drink.  It is righteousness, peace, and joy in My Spirit.  Most people desire to have a joyful and peaceful life.  Many, however, do not know how they can have continual joy even when they go through trials.  They also do not know how they can find peace in a world of turmoil.

I have anointed you to be My ambassador, and I have given you the ministry of reconciliation.  The goal of that ministry is for you to share the good news of how people can be reconciled to Me and made righteous by My atoning blood.  Ask My Spirit daily to give you a fresh anointing so that you can fulfill your job as My ambassador.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-20

PLEASURE

There are many ways that people can receive pleasure.  Some find pleasure in eating.  Others find pleasure in reading.  Various entertainments such as sports and movies can give people pleasure.

My beloved David, the psalmist, pleasured himself by playing his harp.  Playing musical instruments and singing can bring pleasure not only to ourselves, but also to others. .David discovered something that would give him everlasting pleasure.  He wrote this: "You will show me the path of life: in Your presence is fulness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore." 

When you daily spend time in My presence by communicating with Me in prayer and by meditating on and reading My Word, you are experiencing a pleasure that will give you joy throughout the day and joy for all eternity.  It pleasures Me for you to spend time with Me throughout your day.

PSALM 16:11

MEDITATION

There are all kinds of ways to meditate.  It seems even false religions teach ways to meditate.  My beloved David knew the way to meditate that would bring him lasting peace.  He wrote that his meditation of Me would be sweet.

When you meditate on Me, My presence with you will become real.  Meditating on My Word will also bring great peace into your lives.  My peace cannot be counterfeited.  The meditations that are applauded by many false religions will not bring lasting peace.

I have given you My inheritance which was My peace.  I told My disciples this, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

PSALM 104:34; JOHN 14:27

 

IF

One of the games that Satan played with Me when I was being tempted by him in the wilderness was the "What if? Game."  He first addressed Me with this statement, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread."  When he took Me to the pinnacle of the Temple, he said, "If You are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here."

Satan was using the technique that he used with Adam and Eve.  Remember Satan said to Eve, "Has God said you shall not eat of every tree in the garden?" Satan was trying to get her to doubt what God had said.

Doubt is the first attack of Satan.  If  he can get you to doubt My Word, he then brings on the second attack which is fear.  Do not be ignorant of his devices.  Never allow doubt or fear to rule over you. Speak My Word that says, "I will trust in the LORD and not be afraid"  David wrote, "What time I am afraid, I will trust in You (Psalm 56:3)."

LUKE 4:3, 9; GENESIS 3:1 

SALT

I know how you trust that when you are with Me face to face that you will leave a legacy of family and friends on Earth who will be surrendered to Me.  

When I called My beloved the salt of the Earth, I was implying that they were in the Earth to preserve it with the power of My love.  I have given each one who believes in Me the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind.

Also those who allow My life to flow through them will add the flavor of My presence wherever they go. The next time you look at a salt shaker, notice that when you sprinkle salt on your food, several grains are distributed at one time.  I want your life to touch many lives with My love.  I am a relational God, and I am so happy for the flavor My beloved add to this world.

MATTHEW 5:13; 1 TIMOTHY 1:7

IGNORANT

You live in a day when I do not want you to be ignorant of Satan's devices.  One of his devices is to cause you not to forgive.  Paul wrote this: "To whom you forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; Lest Satan should get  an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."

When you refuse to forgive someone, you are very vulnerable to Satan.  He is able to develop within you a root of bitterness.  When that root of bitterness grows, it will defile not only you, but also all those around you.

I exhort you to forgive others as I have forgiven them.  This does not justify what they have done to you or release them from judgment. Forgiveness puts you in a position to receive the grace that I want to daily give you.  If you are having trouble forgiving someone, ask Me to help you, and I will.

2 CORINTHIANS 2:20-11; HEBREWS 12:15

CONDITION

What condition are you in today?  When see the darkness in the world growing darker and darker as each day progresses, you could easily be in a fearful condition or a worried condition.  I do not want you to experience either of these conditions.

No matter what condition the world is in, you must remember that you are in this world, but not of this world.  You dwell in the kingdom of God on Earth and that Kingdom is filled with righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

You also are seated far above the world. You are seated in Me in heavenly places.  This means that you have full authority over all the demons that are trying to pull you down.  I want you to have a heavenly perspective as you face each new day.  This will only happen as you spend time in My presence.  In My presence is fulness of joy and pleasures forevermore.  This is a great condition to remain in all day long.

EPHESIANS 2:6; PSALM 16:11

CURRENT

When I walked on Earth there was no way to stay current on the every day happenings in the lives of others or in the Roman government that we were under.  Today the news is at your fingertips.  

I do want you to be aware more than ever of what is currently happening in the world so that you can pray against the forces of darkness that have been released in the world. You are called to pray for those in leadership in your land so that you can share the gospel freely in your country.

These liberties are beginning to be taken away, but prayer and the influence of prayer in the world can never be taken away.  Intercede more and more as the days draw near to My return. Pray for laborers for this last great harvest, and be at peace because you know I am your refuge and your fortress.

1 TIMOTHY 2:1-2; MATTHEW 9:37-38

JUSTIFIED

I want you to know that My Father is a God of justice.  You can see in My Word how God hates the unjust.  What you are seeing demonstrated throughout the world right now is injustice to mankind.

Killing the unborn is not just.  I am the light of the world Who lights every man who comes into the world.  I am present at every conception.  I light every man who comes into the world.  I am life itself. Without Me there is no life.

A child is conceived to receive life and if that child is denied life, then this is the height of injustice.  Pray that the laws that have permitted abortion in your land to be overturned.  The abortions in your nation have caused a curse on your land and that curse will not be removed until justice is done for the unborn.

JOHN 1:3-5, 9; 

Patience

Many of My beloved are becoming impatient with this continual virus crisis.  Many hoped that this plague would be over by now.  

My Word speaks of patience quite often, but this word means something more than just being impatient when you have to stand in line for hours to get something accomplished.

The word patience in the Bible means to suffer long or to endure until the end.  My beloved are learning to suffer long as they are still waiting for this plague to be lifted.  My brother James wrote: "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers trials; knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patient, but let patience have her perfect work that you may be perfect and entire wanting nothing. Today and every day until this virus is lifted, allow patience to have her perfect work in you.

JAMES 1:2-4

DANCE

I want you to know today that I dance over you and I sing over you every day of your life.  I rejoice over you with singing.  I want you to receive this truth.  When I made you, I said this is so good.  Why do you ever doubt how much I love you?

I laid My life down for you to redeem you and set you free from all bondage.  Yes, I said all bondage. I hate the devil and the lies that My people have received from him.  The truth is that  you have all power and authority over every demon that ever existed.

What is the demon that has you bound today? I say to  you take the authority I have given you and right  now bind that demon in My blood and command it to leave you in My name and it must leave.  Then ask My Holy Spirit to come with such power over you that you will not ever be the same.  I am changing you from glory to glory daily.  Praise Me because you are in Me and I am in you. I am your hope of glory.

MATHEW 16:19; 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18; COOSSIANS 1:27

PRUDENCE

As you were studying Proverbs today, the word, "prudence," appeared many times.  When you looked up the meaning of this word in your dictionary, you discovered that a prudent person uses sound judgement about practical things, is discreet in conduct, circumspect, and sensible. 

I desire for My beloved especially to be prudent during this virus crisis in the world. You are living in a day of great deception, and you need to be prudent in your every day life. 

Ask My Holy Spirit to give you clear discernment and prudence during this time of the pandemic in the world. My Spirit can guide you to be at the right place at the right time.  Remember to lift the shield of faith over you and your loved ones as this virus plague is still in your land.

EPHESIANS 1:8

MIND

The mind is the devil's playground, and the gates to the mind are the ear gate, eye gate, and mouth gate. What you hear, what you see, and what you say will either renew your mind or cause strongholds in your mind.

Strongholds are patterns of thinking like vain imaginations and exalted, prideful thoughts that prevent the truths of My Word from renewing your mind.  This is why Paul exhorted My beloved to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice daily so that their minds could be transformed from worldly thinking to godly thinking.

There are no shortcuts to renewing your mind,  Ask My Holy Spirit to anoint you as you read My Word. I exhorted My disciples to abide in My Word.  As My Holy Spirit leads you into all truth through My Word, you will then have the strength to close the gates of your mind to worldly lusts.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5; ROMANS 12:1-2; 1 JOHN 2:15-16

SENSE

I created you with the ability to see, smell, touch, hear and taste so that you can enjoy My creation.  All things were created by Me and for Me.  It gives Me great pleasure when I see you use your senses to enjoy the many aspects of My creation.

I have given you the ability also to sense My presence with you.  My Holy Spirit enables you to do this.  In My presence is fulness of joy and pleasures forever more. This is why David, My psalmist, loved to spend time in My sanctuary.

Now My sanctuary is within you.  I invite you today to still your soul from the busy world you live in and spend a few minutes with Me.  I am always with you, but when you draw near to Me, I will draw near to you.

COLOSSIANS 1:16; PSALM 16:11; JAMES 4:8

RECOVER

I love to recover anything and anyone who is lost. I came to save that which was lost. When I walked on earth I gave the story about how a good shepherd will leave his many sheep to go and find the one who has gone astray. When he finds that sheep he rejoices even more over that sheep than the ones that did not go astray.

My Father  who is in heaven does not want anyone to perish.  When you know My heart and My Father's heart, you recognize the urgency in these last days to share the gospel with all the people you can.

Pray for opportunities for you to share My good news with others.  Ask My Holy Spirit to lead you to those who have prepared hearts to receive My gospel.

MATTHEW 18:11-14

REFINE

I know you do not like the thought of going through the refiner's fire, but no believer is excluded from the baptism of fire.  They are also not excluded from drinking from My cup of suffering.

When I walked on earth I had several assignments.  My main assignment was to provide My Father's perfect sacrifice to purchase redemption from sin for the whole world.  Even before the foundation of the world, My Father ordained Me to provide that perfect sacrifice.  I also came to destroy the works of devil.  I came to fulfill the will of My Father.

I  came to reveal the pattern in life that every believer in Me will experience.  There will be fiery trials.  Peter warned about this.  There will also be trials that cause suffering in your life.  I went through everything that you will face in life so that I can be the perfect intercessor to pray for you through every trial. You can rest in the assurance that I will enable you to go through every trial victoriously.

1 PETER 4:12

COMMON

Paul wrote that no temptation has taken you, but that which is common to man, but God is faithful, who will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.

I am that way of escape.  I was tempted in all points just like you, but I had no lusts.  The devil will always tempt you in the area of your three lusts. The temptations I experienced in the wilderness were very real, but I resisted My enemy by speaking the Word out loud.

You can use the same words I used to resist the devil. When you are tempted to give in to the lust of the flesh, say, "It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."  When you are tempted to give in to the lust of the eye, say, "Get behind me, Satan: for it is written You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him  only shall you serve."  When you are tempted to give in to the lust of the pride of life, say, "You shall not tempt the Lord your God." The devil then will have to flee.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13; LUKE 4:4,8,12

ALARM

There were no alarms when I walked on Earth.  We did not have fire alarms, weather alarms, and even alarms to wake us up in the morning.  Our senses were sharpened to discern what the weather was going to be as we saw the signs in the sky.  

The Pharisees and Sadducees desired Me to show them a sign. They could discern the weather by how the sky looked, but they had no idea that I controlled the weather. 

The days that lie ahead of you will be dark, and this is why I want you to trust Me, the light of the World, to shine in the midst of the darkness.  I am sounding the alarm right now for My beloved to earnestly pray for the foundations of your nation to be restored. My Word says that if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?  Ask My Holy Spirit to help you pray effectively for your nation.

MATTHEW 16:1-4; PSALM 11:3
