For I will come in an hour when you lest expect and I will visit you at a time when you are lingering in the night hours crying out for My presence, for My strength, to come and fill you and give you answers to the conflicts around you. I know My child you have been bruised, cut up and tempted in this hard battle, but don't given up and even though you  feel faithless I have covered you with My faithfulness. The demons have tried to swallow you up and drown you in the caldron of darkness, but I sent My angels and they rescued you and gave you nourishment to continue in the fight. The eyes of darkness have been blind, causing them to be disoriented and retreat for a season. I know you feel weak and unable to go forward, but it is not that long now and with each step you take I will fill you with the strength and faith you need to continue. I will move upon your heart and revive the midnight hours. This is the season to take advantage of the enemies weakness and become stronger in the Spirit and the power of My might. Remain in Me and I will remain in you. Pick up your sword now, for it is the fear of the Lord that is being restored in you and as that is restored and flowing in you so shall My anointing flow in you and through you!Daniel 9:20-23;10:10-21;John 15;Psalms 27:1

For the Lord will not be held back and the darkness will not consume Him, for He is a Mighty Warrior and even as the grave could not hold Him back from glory this darkness will not hold Him back from His glory covering the earth. For the church will break through the madness of this age and the aroma of Christ will be the fragrance of salvation. His redeemed, His chosen, will come forth like majestic war horses scarred, bruised, broken, but full of the Spirit and faith to battle for people, places and events like never before. The arrows will be shout forth into the darkness of the enemies camp with precision and the high places will be crippled, pushed back and those that have been held in captivity will be set free. For the voice of the Bridegroom will be heard throughout the camp " These are Mine they are my beloved you can't have them". The down trodden, poor, retched,abused, oppressed tortured and blind will stand up from their prison graves and the Wind will dust them off, unwrap them from the stench of darkness, cloth them with robs of righteousness and set them in the land of the living. For the Lord declares over the nations the favorable year of His visitation! Luke 4:18-19; Ephesians 4:9-10

A strong north wind is approaching!

A basket full of fruit (words) some of which are ripe ready to eat, others are not quit ready come and eat as the Spirit leads!

 Prepare your hearts church, for a strong north Wind is approaching and stirring up a south Wind!( Song of Songs 4:16) It will blow hard upon the church. This wind contains more than a strong breeze ruffling the leaves of the trees. This wind contains the fire and rain of the Spirit that will set the church on fire drenching it with holy rain, causing the church to breath out its fragrance. But it also will bring a freezing bite to the movement of smooth talkers, devours of the sheep and the elitist who have set themselves up as super apostles creating;                                                                                The high maintenance church
2 Timothy 3:7 Always learning and never able to come to the knowledge(or recognition) of the truth.
   The high maintenance church is a local body of believers, ministry, or large denominational church, that by definition is; constantly maintaining what they already have and never being able to move forward into maturity due to their compromising life and the captivating performance of the high rollers of ministry. For it is the solid food that brings maturity but many have settled for the milk zone, which keeps them in the wanting position always needing someone to provide the milk injection for their spiritual immaturity.
Hebrews 5:12-13 For though by this time you ought to be teachers you have need again of someone to teach you; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
This is where things can go south in a Christians walk with Christ. Seeds get sown into the ground of the heart but there is a lack in personal growth in the feeding(watering)of those seeds
 Churches, especially in America will experience an increase in deficiency, due to a high dependence of self promotion and finances. The wind of the Spirit will be upon the shepherds and leaders and the Refiners fire will be turned up to purify and bring the bride to a ready state. There will be a greater increase in desire to study the word and intimacy due to the darkness that will continue to increase. The Fathers heart is for the bride to be intimate with the Bridegroom not the world. To know Christ not through a leader. Your dependence on church and the present landscape will be shattered. His purpose is not to create a dependence upon self but upon Him. Not upon your pastors and leaders but upon Him. The high maintenance church depends on what is seen the here and now, not on the assurance and conviction of faith the things not seen. This kind of church can only function when the milk is being produced, for there is always a constant need for milk with the high maintenance.
 Pastors and those of the equipping ministries will experience a total restoration before His coming! there will be a shift in their calling, a leading by the Spirit to vacate the pulpit, some permanently others for a season to lead into the grass roots of service bringing the kingdom of God into the highways and byways (many walks of life). They that answer the call of the Spirit of God will experience an anointing that will restore the church into the landscape and resemblance of the early church. The heart of many believers will be changed from the temporal earthy to the eternal heavenly. The faith of the church will not rest on human wisdom but on the power of the living God. There will be a widespread coming out from under the yoke of the traditional church that has been built on human wisdom and entering into the Bridegrooms yoke with full attention and uncompromising love that the self sufficiency and dependence on that which we strive for will fall away and His presence and revelation will grow stronger in His bride.
An increase of open air meetings, spontaneous gatherings that will captivate many souls through the power of God. Many cells will come forth out of these meetings
A fallout of the mega churches will occur, but the net of the Father will rescue the sheep and the Shepard will continue to build His church in His frame work. Where the sheep have been sheared for the gain and prosperity of the church, Christ the Chief Shepard will come and overturn the tables  bringing cleansing to His house. He will bring the fire and rain of the Spirit restoring His sheep with their gifts bringing a renewal/revival that will take them to the field of their destiny. The residue that rebel towards this refining storm will be in jeopardy and can fall into the clutches of the enemy that is forming his church which is the apostate church (2 Thessalonians 2:3). The movers and shakers of the church will be shaken and all their temporal wealth will be put into the Refiners fire and that which remains will be used for His glory, but the rest will be burned up and blown away like chaff (Malachi 3:1-7).
Persecution Many will be hated because of the gospel, even bringing divisions within the family unit. Because of Christ and the conviction of the Spirit, children will be against parents and grandchildren against grandparents. But those who endure to the end will be saved (Matt. 10:21-22)
  The cauldron of the enemy is being stirred by those in darkness but the Lord will fulfill His plans for His church and those that are far from Him will be brought near.

 For His Wind will blow upon the stony hearts, the misfits of society, the high and mighty. A remnant of the high maintenance church will be changed into a Levite army, keepers of the flame, those that will know the heartbeat of the Lord and be those watchers on the walls. laying siege works against the kingdom of darkness. Dramatic change to and for the House of pray. Many churches have lost the vision for prayer but have become giants in performance and keeping the sheep always needing. A visitation of the Refiner is coming and the tables will be overturned and the desire for milk will stop and hearts for greater revelation of Christ will come forth. Services will be changed and times of intercession will be predominate. Where the House of prayer has been placed in a corner or unseen segment of the church will be given full appearance, teaching and leading with great anointing bringing the church to a level of maturity that the wisdom of man could never accomplish. The word will come forth out of those times of prayer and teaching will erupt like a fountain from the wise with signs and wonders following (Proverbs 13:14;Acts5:12;6:8).
The technical arena has affected the thinking of society leading many to do the unthinkable, others have increased their wealth leading them farther into the clutches of the enemy but not far from the Lord. The church has profited much in the good the internet has to offer but also has become very vulnerable to the many resources that the web offers entangling and bringing a deficiency in the area of simple devotion to and hearing the voice of the Bridegroom! The Lord will bring a freezing wind (in the form of discipline) upon these tentacles causing the church to open their eyes and break away from the snare to hear afresh His pure voice. For the Spirit has much to say to the church that doesn't need modification nor the wisdom of man to reach the spirit of the believer and the field of harvest. For even as Daniel was told that many will go back and forth and knowledge will increase, he was told as we are being told these days, to go his way. To go the way of the King. To sit in His presence and learn from Him. For in Him is all wisdom, understanding, knowledge and truth. "Put away the tools of this age, which you use to hear and develop a message and come to Me and I will fill you with fresh meat that will satisfy. Fresh words that are anointed with My Spirit that will bring life to the hears!"
Those that are built upon Him following His words will not be blown away!(Matt.7:24-27)

"Captured by Him, not the shade trees"

When we thrash about with rusty swords it is the result of being dull of hearing, which can lead to an unwillingness to take the time having them sharpened and cleaned to discern good and evil. Fighting haphazardly (aimless) is due to our lack of growth which leads to nearsightedness, in turn causing ones faith to be shipwrecked. Many have allowed their conscience to be seared with a branding iron, that has allowed darkness to creep in, causing their love to grow cold or worse lukewarm, luring them into a deep sleep. One of our callings as a church is to encourage one another while it is day, but for many of us we cannot distinguish the night from the day. But the Lord says "I do not sleep nor do I slumber. I have called you out of darkness into My marvelous light, but you keep dragging the darkness with you, walk as children of Light. You have allowed the spirit of this age to consume your thoughts, shaking you from your moorings, causing you to drift away from the word and your calling (Hebrews2:1). "I will rise up says the Lord and not be silent, because My bride needs to make herself ready! I will come forth like a Mighty Wave in the midst of the storm to make my bride brave!
                                          Come up out of the valley of Elah, Goliath has been defeated.                                                                                                  

Even as David took up the sword of Goliath and cut off his head, you to must be aggressive towards the weapons that the enemy has formed against you. It is in our knowledge of who we are in Christ that will disarm and refute every weapon formed against us. Responding with a sharp two edged sword will cut off the lies, strategies, influences, obstacles and unbelief that have caused you to stumble and retreat. David running from Saul came to Ahimelech the priest who gave David the sword of Goliath which was put away in the temple. This was a reminder of his past victory and that he didn't need to run from Saul (future battles). We too need to be reminded of the past victories that we won't lose heart and run from the mission that our Father has called us to. Elah means terebinth trees, large shade trees. The battle between David and Goliath was fought in the valley of large shade trees. In the heat of the battle there will always be distractions that will cause your eyes to wonder to a quiet shady place far from the battle. Don't fall to the temptation of the shade trees of this life, luring you away from victory and holding you captive in an old battle that God has already made you victorious in. For He is your Keeper and your Shade( Psalms121:5). The older generation must hold their ground  fighting for the younger. For the enemy fights against this generation to lead them away from godly instruction and wisdom by blinding them from the truth and tempting them with the enticements of this world. The Spirit would say "many times you have come to the crossroads of your journey not knowing which way to go and the Spirit has lead you in the right way." Let go of the sin that so easily entangles, so you can run the race with endurance that is set before you. If you have run with the footman and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses. This life is a race and how we trust and obey will dictate our victories and how we finish. Fixing our eyes on Jesus will give us the power to rise above the flood waters of this age and enable us to swim in the deep waters of the Spirit. Even as Elijah was empowered by the Spirit to out run Ahabs chariot the Spirit will enable you to out run the storm that is intensifying and not be weary, walking and not fainting. For the Lord says "you belong to Me and no other, for you will gain new strength as you rely on Me and no other."(Hebrews10:25;12:1;Jeremiah 12:5;1Peter2:9; 2Peter 1:1-15;1Samuel17:49-51;1 Sam.21:9)

Shout it out!

"Love Reign O'er Me"

Faith"s journey has taken him through many valleys seen many mountain tops. He has witness such activity in the Spirit that has astonished the naked eye. Been educated in hearing the voice of Light and felt the warmth thereof. Knowing that even his name suggest mountain mover, wall jumper, sea walker. But there are those times those seasons, those desperate intervals, where consumed by loneliness feeling unloved, unwanted. Needing once again to hear, be reassured of Loves warmth breathing upon his face. He could not hold it back any longer but with all his strength pouring out from within the cry for help, no for intimacy, came forth "Love Reign O'er Me". Silence was the response and it seemed like forever. What have I done that you would leave me, that you would not answer my cry. I need to hear to feel to be consumed in your Love. Exhausted from his pleading he begins to fall asleep under a tree that lacked any shelter. Suddenly awakened by a spirit, perhaps an angel saying, "your plead was heard but your request was delayed because of the darkness that held it back, but now the way is clear, hear the voice of Love!

         Like many waters being released from a reservoir of unmeasurable depth but with a sound that one could faintly hear, Faith heard again that warm soothing, peaceful and assuring Voice of Love Reigning over him like warm rain. Drenched this time with Love, Faith is now ready to journey on pursuing the city of Lights. Walking now illuminated by this moment he pauses and reflects, His voice of Love is not always in the magnificent power that he has seen in the past, but can be felt and heard in a whisper and touch like a feather.

"Hidden in a field to be a symphony"

The Heavenly Symphony Psalms 137:1-8 This song is a prophetic word about the captivity of the Jews in Babylon and their reminiscing on how good it was when they had the freedom to worship the Lord in their beloved Zion and laminating because of their captivity and everything taken away from them. Even their captors demand songs to torment and harass them. I believe this Psalm is also a prophetic word for us today! Yes we live in a free country and have the freedom to worship anytime and anywhere. I don't believe we as Christians have been lead away from our country and held captive in a foreign land( as of yet). But there is a captivity that we fall into when we allow the enemy of our souls to persuade us that what we have to offer up to the Lord is not good enough and does not sound like a professional musician or singer, so we just hang up our instruments of worship and just be quiet. The Lord would say why have you put away your songs and instruments of worship and sat down in discouragement, fear and defeat?

Do you not know that you were created to worship Me with all that is in you and all that I have given you! Do you remember when you would come into that secret place and in the congregation and pour out your heart in worship and be filled with the Spirit. Do you remember when you would open your mouth and I would fill it with heavenly songs and heaven language. Do you remember when you would pick up your instruments and play Me a song and I would fill it with anointing that would break the chains of the captive. Has the enemy dragged you away and consumed you with the cares of this life and held you captive to this present darkness. You have been told that you can't sing in the Spirit. you can't prophecy, you can't play your instruments of worship unless you belong to a worship team. But I say"Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord."(Psalms 150:1-6)                                                                                                                          

You say, look at all this darkness that covers the people and seems to grow stronger everyday. I say, worship Me in My mighty expanse in My mighty deeds in My excellent greatness. If you have run with footman and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses(Jer.12:5-6). If you can't worship in Spirit and truth you are in captivity. If you can't walk in the prophetic you are in captivity. If you are falling down in a land of peace how will you do when you are flooded with darkness. If there is no place for you where you are "Come to the Light" and I will make a way where there seems to be no way. You say only if I had wings I would fly away to some secluded place far away from this mess. Oh cast your eyes upon Me my beloved
 I am your Redeemer, your Radiance, that loves you with an unfailing love. Though the waters rise to flood stage and the mountains crumble you will not be shaken in Me. I have given you the voice of heaven and the gift of worship with anointed instruments. Go take those weapons back from the enemy. Those instruments that are sitting in the corner collecting dust, they belong to you and come with your mouth full of praise and I will cause My Spirit to fill you with the new wine of worship. "Your freedom is only a song away"! Its your heart being captivated to Me. The kingdom of heaven is not about buildings and institutions those things can hold you captive. Its about Christ in His church building, equipping and release the church to the nations. The heart of the Father is to give you strength to shake off the chains of those captors, renewing the heart, tuning up the instruments of worship and filling His children with the sounds of heaven. Look to Me the author and finisher of your faith. Its not about a great performance and striving to make a name for ourselves. It is the pure worship that He desires, He deserves and He embraces the heart that cares not for the things of this world, but giving glory to the King. The mindset of the institutional church is to worship within the four walls, hidden in a building.

The mindset of the Father is His church hidden in the field of the world, that we may be a symphony to the nations. Its the broken vessels those contrite hearts that bring forth a pure sound that rises to the throne room of the Father. We must stop spending so much time on the exterior of the house and surrender to the good work that He has started in us!
                "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord"

In Him there is no darkness

"Never Never Land" The path on which Faith has been traveling mysteriously took a turn, unaware Faith has become disoriented and has stumbled into a valley called Never Never Land where the town of "Compromise"has lured many in. Here the occupants live in fantasies never coming to the truth, lured in by a light that has captured reality putting a veil of darkness over their eyes. Faith realizing the pull like a magnet struggles to get back to the straight and narrow for the inviting spirit is so strong it is taking all his strength to break loose. Then he remembered where he put his Compass and like a bolt of lightning breaking through the darkness his steps become firm and his direction sure, he flees from this valley running to the Light! (Psalms 86;11;1 John1:5)
