Thank you Jesus for your mighty deeds!
My children were lost and self seeking, my job was threatening to end, I was sad and about to give up, my wife was empty of joy and we were without hope.
Then you heard my cry. You shook yourself and waves of power permeated the evil forces attacking me. You rushed upon my enemies and sent them screaming to the pit. You rode in on a mighty stallion and picked me up saying, "Let's go for a ride, ride with Me and let Me comfort your heart and heal your brokenness."
You, we, trampled all the hosts of Satan under our feet and they became food for flowers; sweet smelling flowers that bloomed without end. My children surrendered to the love and call of Christ, my wife's heart was filled with joy and gladness; she cried for joy, not sorrow, at the mighty acts of God.
When you placed me down I was renewed and invigorated to grab the plow and not look back.
Jesus you are mighty, mighty to save, heal, deliver, lead. Praise be to God.
You became my vision - You, riding ahead of me, leading the way as I dig deep straight furrows that shall receive seed; good seed yielding fruit, 100 fold for the Kingdom of our God.

A Psalm of Deliverance and Peace
I cried unto Jesus, He heard my cry and comforted my soul
It came upon me without warning, I found myself in the midst of strife and fear. My home was filled with those who thought they no longer needed to cooperate, that they could do as they wanted, come and go as they pleased and to hell with anyone else. They bit and snarled at one another an fought for their rights - the thought of who's home it was never entered their minds. The stress was tremendous.
I cried out to Jesus for wisdom and help because peace was nowhere to be found, and he heard my cry.
He moved on me for compassion. He moved on my boarders with a renewed commitment for Christ like living.
And peace returned to my home.

No "one size fits all"
My love is not a "one size fits all"; I don't express My love the same way to all.
To some I express My love and care by giving them mentors to model and train; to others I express my love by NOT giving them mentors, but carrying them Myself, like the picture of the lamb with a broken leg (which I broke, by the way) on my shoulders so that lamb could not but become attached emotionally to me, personally.
I am your mentor; My Holy Spirit your teacher. I am your provider. I hear your prayers in secrete, I do the rewarding. I am well able and willing to love you and be gracious to you like you are and change you as you need.

Something new for you - compassion
I opened up something in you through this struggle, I opened up compassion - it was time.
My children must have compassion for I have great compassion. As much as you hurt I brought people to you who hurt much more so you could feel a little of what they feel. You I am healing and delivering quickly, but they are on their own path, and whether I heal them or not is between Me and them; but in you I want compassion. You will need that compassion for the next assignment.
Do not be afraid of Me or your emotions. Listen to Me, feel for others.

No more than flies at a picnic
You don't need to figure everything out or worry that you don't understand what I am doing.
A child only needs to know his daddy loves him and will care for him. There are harsh realities I will handle for you and with you. You don't need to fear demonic attacks, I am your Daddy, don't even focus on them because I am defending you.
You are not hurt. Though the devil is growling at you and telling you that you are defenceless you haven't been hurt yet, so pay him no attention. Keep your focus on Me and don't be frightened or anxious. There is nothing he can do but talk, I have all the power and I have already spoken.
You are My witness to a lost and dying world. Your confidence in Me then My deliverance of you will demonstrate My faithfulness.
Just move right on, the attacks are nothing more than flies at a picnic.

I am leading, change comes in an instant
I am leading you and holding you in the palm of My hand. I hear your prayers and I am answering. Confess my answer before you see it; encourage yourself with your confession of My answer before you see it.
My blood covers even you - you are not excluded. These are hard timesbut I am sustaining you with My Spirit. You shall have fellowship with My faithful. As with the connection you felt with S. H. when it happens it shall be quick.
There is refreshment for you, be faithful and trust. I change things in an instant.

Your children are My children
Your children are not in your hands and should not be your primary focus, I should be your primary focus. These are My children - I loaned them to you to enjoy and love, but never forget they are Mine.
I have good plans for each of them, but they are My plans and My ways of leading them for their own particular calling. You are letting your own desires cloud the fact that I call on My Own timetable and for My Own purposes.
I put that love and faithfulness for your children in you and it is a good thing, but even good things must be laid on My altar. You will not be bereaved of your children, you will not be disappointed. You must trust that I love them as I love you and will pick them up when they cry.
You put in them the knowledge, they can cry to me, they shall cry out to Me and I shall hear and pick them up. Trust Me to do that.

My voice and no backup plan
My sheep hear My voice. You know My voice because I care for you, and in the midst of many voices, all calling for your attention, you can hear Mine - it's the one that brings peace to your soul.
It doesn't matter what the other voices say, I am the Lord. The voice of worry, self pity, lust, greed, selfishness have no power to work. I, alone, have the power within Myself to keep and defend you. Trust My hand, trust My voice, have no backup plan - you don't need one, lean completely on Me.
Simple faith is all I require.
Yours is not to know the big picture but to know the Big God who controls the big picture. You will hear my voice and you will recognize it and you will follow.
It will be good.

My Call to St. Cuthbert Episcopal
You are getting direction better than dreams, you hear my Spirit in your heart and mind. Why try to go back to what was at best confusing when you can hear me through my Holy Spirit?
Paul on a missionary journey with his ministry blocked didn't know which way to go had a dream of a Macedonian calling for help. You, too, are on a missionary journey and have been seeking where but the pastor, himself, comes to you and asks for help, not in a dream but in person; go that direction like Paul went to Macedonia not knowing the future but knowing I am there. I'll not ask anything of you that I shall not provide. What do you care of buildings and pageantry, follow Me and let happen what I do. Take Acts 16:9-10 as confirmation of your decision.
See how I have led you in the past? I stir your heart then redirect you, channeling you to the right way.
I stirred you to have faith to buy a helicopter for a missionary then I asked you to simply pay for a missionary's way to the field, and it satisfied that desire. I stirred you to return to the pastorate then gave you a message for a new church founder to base his ministry on, and it satisfied that desire. So I stirred you to receive messages from me in dreams and visions, then you the life experiences others only dream of. Isn't flesh and blood better than a dream?
Don't worry about the battle or of winning and loosing, focus on following Me. Anything on this earth you "win" is only temporary and anything on earth you "lose" or have taken away is meaningless. You said you wanted to see the unseen, well, this is the way to do that. Set your pride on me not your physique. Set your sense of victory on Me not the theological battles won/lost or the buildings kept. I will provide fellowship for you in Me and with those who are alive in Me.
You shall fish in waters where they are hungry and want my word; don't be discouraged at resistance.
Concerning your family's response, I shall make things clear as you move forward. Don't push, lead.

A Word for our Friend S.L.
You are my tender lamb, you always have been.
Even now, through the uncertainty I am caring for you. The fear is natural and part of being tender. I am doing something that must be done, but know I am actively keeping you.
You will not for some time be able to see what I am doing so you are going to have to trust that even now I am at work. Choose to put your fear down and just don't pick it up. Commit yourself wholly and completely unto me, choose to trust My provision and defending of you against the ravages off life.
I shall manifest Myself to you in ways you always wanted but couldn't achieve and you shall see answers to your prayers for your boys you have been longing for. I shall be with you where you are and only when the time is right take you to be with me where I am.
We are going to go for a walk, you and Me, and I will be all you need and it shall be good.

Overwhelming sense of something about to happen, good
I have an overriding feeling / sensing something is about to break open in ministry. I have a basic, deep down, feeling God is about to move in a special way. In Sunday school, today, the lesson was how to visualize Jesus. I felt God telling me this was an answer to my request and that I shall learn how to better visualize Jesus.
My mind is whirring over what God will do and I am choosing to be patient to wait and see, but I have an overall feeling of something positive I just can't put my finger on; some positive change is about to occur.

Speaking is the easy part; Maturity is difficult
Maturity is a difficult process, I wish it could be different. Anointing and speaking is easy, even a donkey can do that! I need men who are more than donkeys, men who are stable and mature, who won't get shaken when they don't see what they want; men who will stand firm when they don't get what they want. That only comes through trial and over time.
I have not forgotten you or overlooked you, instead I am growing you. Everyone wants the anointing, but few want the discipline. I am God, and I don't forget; and I haven't changed My mind. When you signed on in My team you agreed to do things My way. Look at each day with a sense of adventure, don't be afraid I will drop you. When the time is right you will be the right person for the tasks, but I will be the One in control. Be content to be Mine and obey without seeing or controlling the big picture.
There is much pressure on my ministers, those who speak and minister for Me. The weight of the ministry is so heavy that any flaw can cause ruin - and everyone has flaws. Flaws are covered by the blood but under intense pressure they crack and the ministry is ruined.
I see the flaws and I know how to fortify around them. Those of Mine who are patient and obedient will have their flaws mended, tested, and repaired.
Take the ministry opportunities I provide but don't push into areas you are not prepared for, let Me open the doors. Don't set your heart on the ministry set it on Me. Don't live for the ministry live for Me. Don't be angry at the ones who have cracked, pray for them. I can put broken hearts and vessels back together if I get all the pieces.

Let go what you can't use...
Don't throw away your faith and confidence when you are in the middle of a struggle. This is the time to hold fast and rest in My care.
You are not able to handle every opportunity or blessing so let the ones you can't use go to others. I will still care for you and give you the blessings you can use.

Concerning your children, more...
Concerning your children:
Timmy has a tender heart. I put him together and will call him forth. I am keeping him, protecting him. Was I not able to keep and protect you? I am stirring great things within him and the evil one would try to snuff it out, but the great things in him are My work and I will complete them.
Yes, it is My work and you can't imagine or dream of My plans. My Spirit, however, will show you (1st Corinthians 2:12 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God"). Trust My Spirit to move, Tim is my visionary.
Rejoice, for I have given you men who will be a testimony of My strength and grace. I chose you for the purpose of having men. I chose you to train men, your men, to clutch onto Me and not let go, to stand in my Church in this country and point to Me in the coming revival, a great revival. You will take part in it through your training of your sons, men of God, to fulfill as Solomon did for David concerning the temple. So your sons will fulfill your desire to build My Church. You will see it, do not be afraid.
Ben will be strong, John will stand with him, and Peter will give clarity of directions. Enjoy what I am going to do; call it forth and rejoice.

Concerning your children...
Concerning your children, they shall see and hear. They shall be changed and mature. As I heard your mother, so I hear you; I am no respecter of persons. Just as I saw her tears, tears from Me and tears to Me, so I see yours. I put them in her to teach her My love; I put them in you to teach you My love.
I gave you children to yearn for and I will answer that yearning; you will see it and not die first. You will be able at the end of your life to say, "I saw everything I desired come to pass. I am ready to see my Savior now, the one who did it all." Like Abraham who was gathered to his people at a ripe old age, so you will be gathered to Me, for I am your people, in a ripe old age with the fruit of your love and labors. I will not leave you fruitless; confirmation will come, listed for the name, "Abraham". Be patient, be fruitful, and be trusting.
I see David teaching God's word and ways. I gave him a tender heart, a heart that cares. He is your Pastor; a heart of a shepherd. I will call him as a pastor, a tender pastor, one who cares deeply. I am developing that caring first so he will be able to distinguish between his caring and My caring, between his compassion and My compassion. It is all jumbled up right now in his mind because it is not My time, yet. Do not fret, I will protect him. I will bring the right people into his life to draw this out of him; to draw out the heart of a pastor. He hasn't settled on what he likes because I haven't given it to him, yet. He will respond; he will like it and he will commit. You will see, and you will like it, too. I put that in you and I will satisfy it.
Tim is My speaker, My proclaimer. He will speak and what he speaks will come to pass. He responds and will respond to that stirring, like My Spirit moved Sampson. Sampson was physically strong but Tim will have strength in the Spirit to banish the spiritual Philistines; the demons of Hell. Watch him; watch how I stir his heart. Watch how I develop My prophet; a true prophet. Watch my ways of bringing this to pass; rejoice bubble up with excitement; he will show you how I work.
Joseph is my intercessor. He will learn how to pray. Pray with him. Speak to him about prayer while he is young and don't loose heart. He is my intercessor; he can hear me and will hear Me more clearly. I have given him to you to pray for you; call him to do that and he will. But he is more than just your intercessor, he is My intercessor. People in My body will come to him and say, "Joseph, please pray for me", he will and I will heal.
I take weakness and display My strength. I take the unusual and show my Power. He will be greatly loved and cared for in the Body of Christ, don't worry. He will be valued in the Body of Christ. I will raise up My people who will love him and who will be used of Me to care for him for they will see My gifting in him.
Do not the ants care for the aphids? I put that in them. The ants rejoice in what the aphids provide and the aphids rejoice in the care of the ants. Think that example is by accident? No, nothing in nature is by accident. Joseph will be cared for and he will rejoice. God's people will rejoice and be blessed through his intercession. I put My body together. Teach him to pray. Trust Me to move.
Daniel is my studier. He will catch hold of a love for My word. The bible will be his book. He will rise up and learn My ways and learn to tenderly teach My lambs.
Don't I choose the unlikely and display My power and grace in them? Don't I set people as object lessons? Did not Paul say God saved him as an example? Relate Paul to Daniel. As I encountered Paul, so I will encounter Daniel. He will be changed, will take hold, and will study My word, learning and enabling others to know My ways more fully; or do you think you are the only one I can do that to?

Do not the ants care for the aphids? I put that in them. The ants rejoice in what the aphids provide and the aphids rejoice in the care of the ants. Think that example is by accident? No, nothing in nature is by accident. Joseph will be cared for and he will rejoice. God's people will rejoice and be blessed through his intercession. I put My body together. Teach him to pray. Trust Me to move.
Daniel is my studier. He will catch hold of a love for My word. The bible will be his book. He will rise up and learn My ways and learn to tenderly teach My lambs.
Don't I choose the unlikely and display My power and grace in them? Don't I set people as object lessons? Did not Paul say God saved him as an example? Relate Paul to Daniel. As I encountered Paul, so I will encounter Daniel. He will be changed, will take hold, and will study My word, learning and enabling others to know My ways more fully; or do you think you are the only one I can do that to?

Concerning Spritual Gifts...
Concerning spiritual gifts, I give the gift of tongues to teach about the gift of prophesy; and indeed, to teach about all the gifts of the Spirit.
As the fruit of the Spirit is not all different but, instead, one and all of the same Spirit, so My gifts are not all different but all of My Holy Spirit, functioning similarly.
As my people learn how to move in the gift of tongues, so they can apply that same knowledge to prophesy. As they become comfortable speaking forth what their minds do not comprehend, so they can become comfortable with speaking forth what their minds can understand.
Many wonder, and I hear them, "What good is this silly gift of speaking syllables I do not comprehend?" But I do not just instruct the mind with thoughts, I instruct with actions, meaningful actions, and those who act will learn. This is "tapping" into My Spirit: not initially knowing why the actions are called for, just simply obeying, and then coming to know.
The minds of many are corrupted so they can not think straight. But for those who respond to My Spirit and My word and do, their minds are being straightened out like a water hose is untwisted, opened up, and unkinked. They can then become channels. This is not your doing, but mine. You can not open them up; indeed, I can't always open them up either, but I do have the process. You are to simply present the word I give you and teach as I allow. I will show you how far, they are fragile and too much pressure would rupture them. I know the right about of pressure. You are to listen to the spirit and be gentle.
Your labor is unto Me and I will show you where and when. You will not be in a quandary or falter, instead, there will be a twinge of assurance, of an "AMEN" when I am ready. In the meantime, worship Me, study My word, teach unto me in your heart, pack it away like you do things in your house. Yes, even that trait in you is to be applied to God's word. Pack it, save it, truly there will be a time when you will put it out and it will bless God's people.

Rejoice, I am neither in a hurry nor tardy.
Rejoice, My son, for the LORD thy God is a mighty God. There is, truly, nothing impossible for Me. Bow before, praise and trust, sing, jump to Me, nothing will harm you, there is nothing to fear. Every terror must bow the knee to Me. I send it to the ungodly to move them to Me just as the hunting lions roar to drive the prey to their young.
I have seen your love, your prayers, your desire. Rejoice, I say, in Me. Why will you be nervous about whether you can hear from Me? Am I not the One who made not only the ears but the heart to perceive? I will not let you move in the wrong direction without speaking to you. Your desire to hear is good and a thing to be desired: it keeps you learning, movable, clean.
Don't' give up or give over to despair or apathy, all time is Mine and the world is Mine, I am in no hurry but neither am I tardy.
