Royal Diadems of Hope
2/1/12Isa 28:5-6 NKJV 5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be for a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of His people, 6 For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
Isa 62:3-4 NKJV 3 You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4 You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; But you shall be called Hephzibah,* and your land Beulah;* For the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married.
“ I will crown you, My beloveds with My glory. It will not depend on your goodness, your efforts, but it is an outpouring of MY GRACE and mercy on this end times generation. I want the lost to know that I AM GOD, and there is no other, so I will put you on display to demonstrate My goodness, MY love and grace, My mercy and kindness. What I do, I do for you, but also I do it, to reap a harvest of souls in the earth, because I am coming soon.
I told you I would have a spotless bride. I assured that with My death on the cross. The fulfillment is yet to be realized, and what I do will truly be
SPECTACULAR !!!
I AM a GOD OF GLORY ! I AM a GOD OF LOVE ! I AM YOUR PEACE. I AM your SHIELD. I AM your High Tower, I AM your RESOURCE for anything you need, All you need is ME to be successful. I’m not driving anyone to do anything. I don’t try to control you. I don’t mind control you, Men are more guilty of that. Demons are guilty of that. The enemy is good at setting you up for failure then blaming you. But I’m not the trickster. I’m not the one who drives you into slavery to your job or anything for that matter. I want free will offerings of worship, or prayer, and if you ask ME to take control, I will. But that takes full SURRENDER. Surrender to ME brings LIFE, not destruction.
Ps 103:1-6 NKJV Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6 The Lord executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.
The pride of man is an affrontery to Me. I am about to destroy the pride of man that has risen in My church, called by My name. The face of My church will take on a new hue of hope and humility. I will crown you with RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the chains of deception will be broken for those who are willing, it will be life giving, and for those who are not, it will bring destruction, as judgment, that they might be saved from My wrath. PRAY for the churches beloveds. Pray for revelation of TRUTH, pray that hearts will soften to My truth, that the enemy will be routed, and the elect saved.
Much of what comes, will bring terror to many, who have walked in their own ways, but for those who know MY WAYS, and want only truth, they will be blessed beyond anything in your imagination. I will break the chains of deception as you pray. Consider your own estate beloveds, and how none is perfect except ONE. Consider that I AM the ALMIGHTY ONE and nothing is beyond MY ABILITY to change.
Masonry, Wicca, and Witchcraft of all kinds, and all the “isms” can be destroyed with one touch of MY HAND ! YOU just have to BELIEVE that MY power works best in those who are weak in their own strength, but dependent on MY STRENGTH ! For apart from ME, you alone can do NOTHING ! All the posturing and trying to BE something is vanity. Selfish ambition has never been My way. Every evil thing lies there, remember ?
Do not seek your own recognition, or your own promotion. I promote the HUMBLE. I exalt those who are contrite of heart. I do not lift up the proud, or self serving. Many are still not healed of their rejection, and are striving to BE something, when all that’s needed is DEPENDENCE on ME.
I still hear from many hearts, a call of “WHAT ABOUT ME?” “WHAT ABOUT ME?” A rejected heart cannot focus on serving others, because it is more concerned about self. RENOUNCE all rejection, renounce all self rejection if you want freedom. Renounce all fear of rejection, and pain, if you want freedom from this sinister spirit.
Rejection makes one give into anger, control, defensive pride, UNBELIEF, and selfishness, depression and a myriad of other spirits who seek your destruction. So let go of all offenses, ask ME to work deep in your heart to remove all the dross that has come from abuses, and pain. Abandon all bitterness, and envy and jealousy of others who have gotten more healing, or not gone through what you went through. WHY SHOULD YOU RESENT WHAT IS MAKING YOU INTO THE APOSTLE, PROPHET, PASTOR, EVANGELIST, OR WORSHIPPER, THAT YOU ARE ? AM I NOT THE POTTER and you the clay ? Can I not do with my own creation, what I have planned ?
You need a new perspective beloved that sees through MY EYES. YOU need to be able to see others as I SEE THEM ! ASK FOR THIS so that you may gain a heart like Mine. Ask for revelation that will help you understand others. I AM FAITHFUL AND TRUE. I NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU, and I never get tired of you coming to me with your hurts, with your questions, or anything else you want to share. I’m not impatient like earthly parents. I always have time for you. I love you as no other CAN love you. And I care FOR you when everything seems to overwhelming to handle. So run to ME.
COME TO ME, and I will give you rest.”
Ps 146:5-9 NKJV Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, 7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous. 9 The Lord watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
Refreshing & Renewing
January 16, 2012
“ I'm taking many of you into times of repentance and deeper healing to finish My work in you in preparation for awakening at hand. Do not be surprised at accentuated emotions hitting you. I am causing to come to the surface anything hidden down in your heart.
All unbelief and fears, all anger or resentments, all jealousies, or rejection and all manner of other offenses will be removed if you ALLOW Me. I want you to come near and be in My Presence, for a willing heart and worship will be all it takes to get you to a place of humility where I can confront what you haven't wanted to look at in yourselves,
or already know but haven't been able to get free of it.
The season has changed, so don't expect disappointment. EXPECT healing and deliverance when in My presence ! Expect things to change. Praise Me when they do and testify of My great mercy, for I am pouring out great GRACE in this hour and a vengeance against the enemy is in progress. He thinks he's had the upper hand, but in this hour I will pour out DOUBLE grace to anyone who comes and is willing to allow me to look into your heart, and see, and touch. It is a new hour ! I am doing a NEW THING.
It is springing forth NOW. I am arising in your hearts NOW.
Where you have been discouraged at lack of deliverance and healing in your loved ones, your children who have gone astray, and been held captive by the enemy, KNOW that I AM ARISING with GRACE, and LOVE to pour out in them. I AM an experience, and I will loose REVELATION that they will know Me for themselves. Do not be unbelieving.
EXPECT Me to do something supernatural in this hour.
Those that have been ostracized by the church will find their niche in associations with others who will accept you and protect you, and appreciate the gifts I have put in you. I am working on MY WHOLE BODY. So do not run with skepticism or suspicion in your hearts. Run with expectation of reversals and turn arounds. For I am causing many who misunderstood you to repent of their wickedness, or neglect and criticism, or jealousies to turn and making them new. I need a prepared and unified army. Thus I am pouring out DOUBLE GRACE and cleansing My threshing floors. I am removing all dead wood, and the sword of the LORD will do what cannot be removed by kindness, and mercy.
Those who resist will be most sorry. So don't focus on others. Focus on your own lives, and rout the little foxes that spoil the vine. Give ME what you are ashamed of. Give ME all your concerns, and proclaim your desire to be free, and watch to see that I WILL bring My Spirit to do the work in you that is needed to restore your life, and refresh you.
I will make your words like apples of silver in settings of gold. I will show you how to be kind to the ungrateful and those who have belittled and underestimated you. Do not struggle to make a name for yourself. How do you know oh man, if I have not kept you hidden for your own protection, for many will go into bondage under persecution in the days ahead. Many will die for the sake of the gospel. Do not struggle to be seen. KNOW THAT I SEE, and that is enough. Forsake all selfish ambition that comes from lack of recognition and rejection. Lay everything that is offense on the altar like Abraham, and rest in ME, and I will lift you up when it is time. TRUST ME with your life COMPLETELY!
I know many of you are wanting to do more, seeing all the need. But I am big enough to do it all Myself if I want. PRAY, and don't strive at anything. I am WITH you! I am IN you. So allow ME to nurture your heart, and lead you in the way I HAVE ESTABLISHED since I knew before you were born what I would do with you. I know the choices you will make ahead of time. So stop trying to figure everything out, and allow me to guide you into paths of righteousness, and paths of grace, and paths of peace and love, and allow ME to guide your life in the direction I've planned for you.
Trust Me when I say the time is NOW, when I will bring to fruition all that I've told you already for your life. The glory will clear away all the confusion, or mystery in time, as you REST in My presence and quiet yourself in Me. All will become crystal clear, if you will but REST, and TRUST Me to show you what you need now. Cling to Me beloveds, come away with ME and listen to what I want to say. I am waiting for you.”
Isa 30:15-16 NKJV For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
"In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not, 16 And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses" —
Therefore you shall flee! And, "We will ride on swift horses" — Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!
Prov 17:1 NKJV Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.
Isa 32:17-19 NKJV 17 The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. 18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places, 19 Though hail comes down on the forest, And the city is brought low in humiliation.
Word for 2012 – Restoration & Reversals
Jan 9, 2012Acts 3:19-21 NKJV
19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,
21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Ps 60:1-5 NKJV
1 O God, You have cast us off; You have broken us down; You have been displeased; Oh, restore us again!
2 You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.
3 You have shown Your people hard things; You have made us drink the wine of confusion.
4 You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
5 That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.
“Beloveds, Who is a God like Me ? Who spoke and created the heavens ? Who spoke and the earth was created ? Am I so weak, that I cannot contend ? I AM and there is no other like Me. I am the Almighty One of Israel, and of all who follow My Son. You are one in ME. I love you as no other loves you. You call, and I answer you. My sheep hear MY VOICE, and they follow Me.
For many, they are not following but independently going their own way, then asking Me to bless it. That is not following beloveds. That is leading. I’ve called you to One Master. I AM your Adonai. Have no other masters before Me. Have no other lovers before Me. I have a great RESTORATION to do in My western Bride and all over the world where she has spread her false doctrines. I want you to have abundant life, but I have not called you to selfishness, self centeredness, and greed or avarice. There is a humility coming to those who have thought otherwise. The sword of the LORD will come across the land this year, and there will be great restorations, great humiliations, great reversals, and great promotions.
I am not deaf and dumb, or blind like the gods of stone and wood. I AM that I AM. I am there for you when you call on My name. Though I may only do what I see best in your life, for your growth and development, I am there to perform that which will yield the best results for making you into the person I want you to be. I know that you have suffered much, but I AM the RESTORER of LIFE. I will take my RECOMPENSE this year against that which has fought against you. The enemy thinks he is winning. But he is already defeated. He is under great delusion, but you are not called to delusion, but to a SOUND MIND.
Do not fear, for I said, I would come again as a Mighty Wind, and that I will do. You will have all you need to fight in this war of all wars. Even now I am imparting to you, even when you can’t feel anything, as you come and worship Me, or pray to Me, I am restoring to you all that has been stolen. I speak of heavenly things beloveds, for this earth is passing away. But My Word will never pass away. Speak My WORD to the winds, to the roaring of the seas, to the earth and all that is in it, and speak to the spiritual wickedness in high places the TRUTH. Do NOT give in to the discouragement. For what is your life? Does it only consist of the things you have ? Is it not HIDDEN IN ME.
It’s what you have eternally that matters. It’s who you are in Me that matters. It’s who you represent as you go about your daily activities that matters. Your life is hidden in ME. You are experiencing abundance in ME
As you follow Me and obey My words to you. Do not remember the former things, for all things have become new if you are in Me. I AM doing a new thing. There is NEW LIFE coming to My beloveds. You will have a new
Spring in your step.”
Then I heard to “sing the song of Habakkuk”:
In the New King James it’s called the song of FAITH:
As I read through it, it seemed to me for now, that this is the time to come.
Hab 3:17-19 AMP
17 Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! [Rom 8:37.]
19 The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!
“There will be war, and many disasters again this year, as the earth is groaning, and men continue to destroy the earth through their misguided efforts to control. But they will not succeed in all they plan. They will experience constant frustrations, partly due to the prayers of the saints, and My arising to reverse many a curse. STAND, and again I say STAND and speak out all that I put in your hearts to pray and declare ! Do not yield to the enemy’s intimidations.
Do not believe all you hear coming from the mouths of leaders who deceive with their flatteries, and appeal to your emotions. Judge by the FRUIT, I’ve told you. PRAY rather than talk so much about it. PRAY for your leaders. PRAY against all the perversion. PRAY against all the deception, and that all things hidden would be uncovered. You must fight on your knees ! Pray for supernatural, for this will be a year of supernatural provisions, and supernatural wonders for My people. I WILL change the course of SOME things, but not all things. So stay in My arms beloveds daily, that you get your directions from Me.
I am bringing Davids out of their caves to confront the false foundations in My church. I am bringing the Elijahs, and prophets that have been hidden in caves OUT, to confront not only the church but the world’s injustices. TRUST in ME beloveds with ALL of your heart. I am for you, and I will fight along side My Bride in this battle. Remove the stones from the highway, for it is in HOLINESS, that the enemy will be dismayed. Do not bloody your hands or heart with hatred, and reactionary resentments. Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you, for My ways are not your ways. Take the higher road, the narrow path, and you will see My GLORY ! Explosions of My GLORY are coming this year to your neighborhood ! Walk in the Spirit, and do not be afraid. “
Ps 80:3-19 NKJV
3 Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
4 O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it.
9 You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs.
11 She sent out her boughs to the Sea, And her branches to the River.
12 Why have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
13 The boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it.
14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, And visit this vine
15 And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
18 Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19 Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
Ps 90:13-17 NKJV
13 Return, O LORD! How long? And have compassion on Your servants.
14 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, The years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Isa 43:13-19 NKJV
13 Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?"
14 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "For your sake I will send to Babylon, And bring them all down as fugitives—The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King."
16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea And a path through the mighty waters,
17 Who brings forth the chariot and horse, The army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick):
18 "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
