John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

March 1, 2010: Look forward to finding solutions to problems that have been difficult for some time. I will give you the guidance, direction and favor that you need for breakthrough. Cheer up and take courage; relief is on the way. And, you will rejoice. Psalms 4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

March 2, 2010: Yield to the leading of My Spirit as I reveal more productive ways of dealing with problems and stress. I will open your eyes and your heart to see and receive wisdom before you react or respond. Be quiet and stay flexible, and you will come through difficult situations with greater ease. Be strong, but stay humble, says the Lord. Your success depends on it. Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility.

March 3, 2010: Now is a time when you can catch up in various ways. You will have opportunities to fix things that have needed to be fixed or adjusted for some time. Also think beyond the natural scheme of things into the realm of your spiritual landscape as things come to light that require correction or adjustment. Again, flexibility is the key to moving through this time victoriously. All you need is to keep your eyes open, your discernment sharp, and your heart willing, says the Lord. Proverbs 10:17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray.

March 4, 2010: I speak to many who are facing unpleasant or difficult situations, which are the direct results of the choices you have made. The results of your choices are akin to reaping a harvest from the seeds you have sown. Take the time to really look at your current dilemma to see what the root is so that you can truly repent and have a change of heart, of attitude, and of actions. Ask, and I will bring the revelation you need to see clearly, says the Lord. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

March 5, 2010: Beloved, I am elevating you spiritually to a higher level of understanding. This will lead to a level of maturity and stability that you have yet to experience, but it will not be one giant leap. It will be one step at a time in a continuous progression. Surrender to Me as I lead you in this progression, and in due time you will be able to look back and see how far you have come. This time is important to your spiritual journey, says the Lord. Psalms 18:19 He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.

March 8, 2010: You may think that the current spiritual environment is strange, but I am testing you and trusting you with My silence, says the Lord. This is to see whether or not you will stay with the leading of My Spirit. Will you be still when there is only silence, or will you continue on without divine direction? Take this opportunity to be still and be at peace even when the enemy is taunting you about being unproductive. Be resolute and do nothing until you truly hear My voice. Isaiah 30:21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left.

March 9, 2010: There are yet a few things that need to be resolved, and as you put your trust in Me, I will replace uncertainty with firm direction. Do not hesitate to move ahead with plans or proposals, for I am with you, says the Lord. Do what you must do quickly so that it does not distract from spiritual concentration. If you will rise up and truly walk in the Spirit, I will manifest Myself to you in ways that you could not have imagined. Seat yourself in heavenly places by faith. Ephesians 2:4-7 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

March 10, 2010: Beware of those who desire or require your attention. Exercise discernment to know whether or not I am sending them to you. If I'm not sending them, it will be a subtle distraction that will drain you to the dregs. Guard your parameters carefully, and let no one violate your spiritual boundaries. Stay close to Me and do nothing apart from My leading, says the Lord. Your spiritual vitality depends on your obedience. Acts 17:26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are also His offspring."

March 11, 2010: You have turned a corner, and will now be led in a direction that will be a departure spiritually and perhaps naturally from where you have been in the recent past. This is a path that will lead to greater wisdom, insight, and maturity. Many of the problems that you experienced in the past few years will suddenly vanish, almost without a trace. That is not to say that the next season will be trouble-free, but for the most part it is a time when you can enjoy the journey, says the Lord. Psalms 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

March 12, 2010: Face every challenge head-on. If you try to take the easy way out, it will backfire on you. Do what it takes to break through. You won't want to do what is necessary, but it's the only way to get through your dilemma. Refuse to open the door to the enemy by murmuring, complaining, or becoming a victim of your circumstances. You can do this, and I am with you to give the necessary wisdom and strength for you to gain the victory, says the Lord. Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

March 15, 2010: The enemy has done what he could to overwhelm you and get you down, but I tell you to look up. Trust Me to show you what you must do to rise above the distractions. Follow My lead in this spiritual dance as I take you beyond striving and worry. Let Me bring you to that spiritual place where happiness is within your grasp again, says the Lord. Psalms 144:15 Happy are the people who are in such a state; happy are the people whose God is the LORD!

March 16, 2010: As you are faithful to trust Me with every situation and circumstance, you will see breakthroughs one-by-one on every level of existence and activity. There is a repositioning that will manifest in unique ways that will remove stubborn hindrances and obstacles that have kept you from moving ahead. Just keep pressing through, says the Lord. Proverbs 4:12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.

March 17, 2010: Yield to the working of My Spirit as you deal with things that require your attention and action. Only then, can I lead you in righteousness. If you take matters into your own hands without My direction, you will not like the outcome. Remember that what you build on the foundation must be spirit and not flesh; otherwise it will not endure. Always build and establish the Kingdom in all that you are and all that you do, says the Lord. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

February 1, 2010: The last round of attacks from the devil have left many of you fractured and disoriented. But you, My people, must begin to look up again. Put your hope and faith in Me, says the Lord. When you begin to seek My face in earnest, I will release a powerful move of My Spirit to bring healing and restoration to you both individually and corporately. Put your trust in Me. Jeremiah 39:18 "For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me," says the LORD.

February 2, 2010: You are on the threshold of spiritual breakthrough, and the enemy is frantically doing all he can to keep this from happening. You are a threat to his invasion. Watch closely for his intrusion into your life through circumstances, interaction with others, and even your own thoughts and emotions. Give him no ground whatsoever. Resist him at every turn, and he will flee, says the Lord. That is a promise! James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

February 3, 2010: Come into My presence and be still. Release every burden and every disturbing thought and emotion, and just rest. For, certainly as you are quiet before Me, I will comfort you, fill you to overflowing with My Spirit, and release healing and restoration into your entire being. No more worry or striving or clamoring. Just rest. I am the God who heals you and delivers you from calamity and destruction, says the Lord. Psalm 91:1-11 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

February 4, 2010: Beloved, set a watch for opposition and division. Regardless of where it pops up or the reasons behind it or the justifications for it, it is still the work of the enemy. You can't fix anything or work through anything in the flesh or by human reason. This must be done in the realm of the spirit by the Holy Spirit and maintaining godly focus. Remind yourself of My purposes, My work, and My promises, says the Lord. Maintain eternal perspective, which is to look beyond what is immediate and temporary to that which is eternal. Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

February 5, 2010: Watch as I bring answers to long-awaited questions and conclusions to unresolved problems. I am offering opportunities to put things right so that you can move forward unhindered. You cannot receive the fullness of My blessings and provision without resolution of old issues, says the Lord. And, I have opened the door and made a way for you to deal with those things that have hampered your progress and kept you bound. Freedom awaits! Matthew 18:15-17 "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector."

February 8, 2010: Now is the time when you can realize breakthrough and move forward in My purposes, for I am causing you to deal with your own heart and rise above the flesh into the Spirit where liberty abounds. Release yourself from everything -- every thought, every emotion and every decision that has been in opposition to My name, says the Lord. Then, you will find the bondages broken and the chains of restriction removed so that you can flee from the prison of your own making. Psalms 107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces.

February 9, 2010: Beloved, you have not been this way before, and I am bringing you along in a leisurely fashion so you don't miss anything along the way. There is much for you to learn and grow from in these days, things that will reveal your heart with deeper and more complete understanding. This is no time to clamor in fear or frantically try to maintain status quo, but it is a time when you can quietly receive wisdom, guidance and resolution that will serve you immeasurably in the days ahead, says the Lord. Stay calm. Proverbs 17:27 He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

February 10, 2010: Stop and discern My heart in every situation and circumstance. Make sure that everything that you say or do is in complete accord with My purposes. Develop the habit of walking in the Spirit so that your flesh cannot have free rein. You will be amazed at how easy it really is once you make the decision to not just react to life but to respond to My Spirit in every instance. This is a new day and requires a new approach, says the Lord. Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

February 11, 2010: Prepare to emerge from darkness and uncertainty into the light of My presence and glory. Even though there have been difficulties along the way, you will find yourself unexpectedly strengthened. And, those times when you felt like such a victim of situations, circumstances, and people will melt away and become a vague memory. The breakthrough that you are about to experience will far outweigh the trouble that it took to get to this point, says the Lord. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

February 12, 2010: Many of you, My people, have felt dazed, stunned, as if in a stupor. This has been a very effective weapon that the enemy has used against you to keep you from being effective. But, I tell you honestly that this fog is going to lift, and the oppression shall cease. You will suddenly have clarity of mind and purpose like coming out of a deep, dark sleep into the bright light of day, says the Lord. Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

February 15, 2010: Watch and be alert to distractions that will take you away from the purity of your relationship with Me, says the Lord. If you can concentrate on walking in the Spirit, you and those with you will experience spiritual breakthrough. And, you will never be the same again. Remember that I am building through you on a foundation that has been swept clean and the religious debris burned. It is of vital importance that you do not build according to flesh and temporal things, but build according to the leading of My Spirit that which is eternal. Psalms 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

February 16, 2010: Take courage and lean on My strength to keep moving through the difficulties that you face. You need to be patient and trust Me to lead, guide, direct and protect you at this time. Do not despair when you do not seem to have what it takes to deal with current issues. Ask, and I will give you wisdom. This too shall pass, and new focus and clarity will come forth like the first rays of sunshine of a new day. Keep looking up, says the Lord. Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

February 17, 2010: I saw in a vision a natural tunnel carved through a massive, hard, and jagged rock. There was room for only one person to go through at a time. In places there was not room to stand, but to only to crawl through. The path could only be lit by natural means, such as a torch or flashlight. And, I asked the Lord what this meant, and He said: I am showing you a representation of the trial that you've been coming through. There hasn't been much light for you to see clearly ahead. The path has been fraught with danger, fear, and uncertainty. Hear Me, beloved, I'm telling you the truth. You are about to come forth from this place and see the light. The darkness has caused you to look inwardly to see the dark places in your own heart, and when you emerge you will enjoy the freedom from darkness both naturally and spiritually, says the Lord. Then, you will look back and see how fruitful this journey has been and rejoice. Psalms 90:8 You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.

February 18, 2010: Rise above the turmoil of your thoughts and emotions; quiet your soul and be still. Come into My presence where there is joy forevermore. Come and have a time of sweet communion. Come, and let Me fill you with My peace. You need a time of refreshing and a new infilling of My Spirit. Come to be refreshed, restored, and renewed. Don't put it off; come now. Bask in the light and power of My love. You will not leave disappointed. Psalm 103:1-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

February 19, 2010: Your past has come up once again for review, and I'm calling you, My people, to be done with regret for the things you did do as well as the things you did not do. Apply the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ to your heart and to your wounds. This is not a time to grumble, complain, accuse, or justify yourself. Rather, use this season as one of thanksgiving for kingdom benefit and kingdom work. Let the blood of redemption and sanctification do its complete work in you, says the Lord. Hebrews 9:14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

February 22, 2010: You will begin to see that things that have been held back will be released at this time. Be sensitive, and you will see that certain things that have taken a back seat, been on the back burner, or in the back ground will come forward and require your attention. For, this is the season when you can deal effectively with these issues. And, you might even say that it has been a long time coming, but in reality its time has only now fully come. And, I will give you the required wisdom, says the Lord. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

February 23, 2010: Reach beyond your self-imposed limitations that have been established by fear. It is time for you to do what you've never had the courage or confidence to do. This is your time to shine in the darkness of defeat and condemnation. Rise up with boldness and fresh hope, and do what you have wanted and needed to do. Stand squarely in the face of consternation and break through to resounding victory, says the Lord. Psalms 18:29 For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall.

February 24, 2010: You must not overlook the details of life's requirements by focusing on the big picture and the goal. By the same token, you cannot lose vision and purpose by paying too much attention to the details. It is like looking at an entire landscape, seeing both near and far. You can see where you are going, but you have to walk the path step by step to get there. I bring this to you as spiritual perspective, My people, because there are those who are near-sighted and those who are far sighted. There needs to be a balance between the parts and the whole, and if you can receive it, I am doing that work in you. It is you in the Kingdom; I have given you entrance, but you must work it out in your individual circumstances. I am with you to help you do that, says the Lord. Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

February 25, 2010: The enemy is trying to make you feel like your life is insignificant and that you have failed. He wants you to believe that you should be doing more or something worthy of attention or something that will make a difference. But, you cannot manufacture opportunities. Your goal should be to know Me, says the Lord, and to be available to My Spirit in fulfilling My purposes. Just be faithful! 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

February 26, 2010: Beloved, refuse to allow discontentment to encroach on your thoughts, for it most certainly has its roots in bitterness of soul and will make a place for the enemy to work against you. Contentment comes from a position of faith and trusting that I am for you and not against you; that I care for you. Take comfort in knowing that I am with you. Set your sights higher than the temporary things of the earth. Look heavenly, and renew yourself in the hope of my promises, says the Lord. 2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
