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."

November 2, 2009: Beloved, I am relieving you of obligations that have kept you from walking in the liberty of My Spirit. And, I am removing the guilt that others have imposed upon you that kept you from the freedom that I wish for My children. This is a new day and even the beginning of a new era. I will lead you on the path of liberation in this season if you are willing to let go of the limitations and bondages of the past, says the Lord. Trust Me! Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

November 3, 2009: I have sown My Word of promise in your heart, says the Lord. But, you will have to protect that seed from the enemy who will try to snatch it away. You will have to keep it alive in the ground of your heart by reminding yourself of what I am doing in this season. Otherwise, it will be business as usual, and you will become a hearer only and not a doer. Do not let this happen, or you will miss the blessing. Matthew 13:3-9 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

November 4, 2009: Be still and be sensitive to the work of My Spirit in your spirit. If you will allow it, there is a deep work of joy coming up from the very depth of your being. It is a joy that transcends and overcomes every circumstance that the enemy has used to bring you down to negativity and despair. Cooperate with this move of My Spirit, says the Lord, and My virtue will flow forth to bring healing and restoration. And, it will restore you to fresh hope and faith. Psalms 5:11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You.

November 5, 2009: I am opening doors that will lead you to new experiences and challenges. Go forth in freedom with an open heart and a sense of adventure. If you try to move ahead maintaining fear or dread the result will be frustration and defeat. Trust Me and expect to be led by way of peace and victory. I will direct your steps and give you wisdom as necessary, says the Lord. Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

November 6, 2009: Hold what you value with an open hand. If you try to possess it with a firm grasp, it will slip through your fingers. The earth is Mine and all that is in it, says the Lord. You cannot own what does not belong to you, and I continue to establish the concept of stewardship and not ownership in the hearts of My people. You, beloved, are only sojourners on the earth, not permanent residents. Your earthly existence is but for a moment. Keep eternal perspective. Let go, and yield to the work and moving of My Spirit. Psalms 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

November 9, 2009: In a vision I saw kites flying, which represented freedom to me. Then, I saw children with their hands reaching up. And, I heard the Lord say, "Let your reach exceed your grasp." I took this to mean that the Lord wants us to reach for more than we can see or grasp or touch. His desire for us is to always desire to know more of Him and His kingdom. Acts 17:27 ... 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.

November 10, 2009: I continue to bring you, My people, into divine order. When you are operating under My order and authority, everything will be in the flow of My Spirit. Yield to this work down to the finest detail of what I show you, says the Lord. For, this is also a time when I am calling you to walk more closely with Me and to be in tune with My heart. You are My chosen vessels, and the work that is now being done will cause us to be One. John 17:11 "Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

November 11, 2009: Beloved, there are still things in your life that need to be torn down before the rebuilding process can proceed. When that which seems to be destined for destruction comes on the scene, quickly let go. Don't try to hang on. Allow for My divine renovation. But, it is also important that you be still in your inner man and discern this work of the Spirit. Refuse to allow emotional investments to cloud your judgment or discernment, says the Lord. John 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

November 12, 2009: You are now sensing and know in your spirit and soul that there has been a well-defined change from the past that has been in process over the past months. I already made you aware that I am doing a new thing in your life and the lives of My people, and you accepted that word by faith. But now, you can actually discern the change and see it with your eyes. Expect to have a short break or lull, but be aware that if you don't understand what this is or why it is happening, you may feel disoriented. This is a time to draw close to Me, says the Lord, put your faith in Me and rest. Romans 14:22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God.

November 13, 2009: Every deterrent is being blown away by the wind of My Spirit. And, in this new season you will begin to see and experience My presence in a more powerful way. As you allow distractions to be swept away and your focus on Me to be uninterrupted, you will enter this time of spiritual vitality and growth. There is an air of expectancy in the realm of the spirit. Go forth with a sense of purpose and boldness, says the Lord. Psalms 138:3 In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.

November 16, 2009: As, I waited in the presence of the Lord, I found myself craving routine and a sense of stability in circumstances. But, the Lord broke in and said, "I am still shaking many of your places of comfort because they represent areas where you have become stale and religious. I want to bring a fresh wind that will stir renewed interest and excitement in the work that I am doing as opposed to what you are doing! Too many of My people have taken great pride in believing they possess special knowledge, which they use to elevate themselves in the Kingdom. But, I'm looking for those with humble, open, and hungry hearts. They are the ones I will use mightily in this next season. Let My wind blow and let go of thoughts of routine and comfort. Arise to a new level of adventure and expectation."
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

November 17, 2009: Beloved, because of your faithful prayers and strong stand against the wiles of the devil, the pall of oppression is lifting. The light of righteousness is piercing the thick gloom of darkness. I call you forth into healing, restoration, and renewal. It is time for you to emerge from the caves and shadows where you have hidden yourselves, and come into the light of a new 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.

November 18, 2009: The enemy has launched an attack against you, My people, to cause confusion, misunderstandings, miscommunication and hindrances. You must rise up in the spirit realm and shut the door on this attack and call forth a clearing of the air ways. And, I will give you clarity and open the door and clear the way for you to proceed unhindered, says the Lord. Be diligent to wage a good warfare. Victory is assured. 1 Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare.

November 19, 2009: I am bringing a conclusion to various aspects of your circumstances, but be aware that getting to the final result will continue for a time to be a process. There are still things that need to be dealt with before the final summation. Move through this process with faith and confidence that I am doing a good work and the results will be well pleasing to you and to Me, says the Lord. Let Me move you in this conclusive flow. Colossians 1:9-12 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

November 20, 2009: The way is clear, and the door is open for you to proceed. Go forth with confidence and assurance, for I am with you, says the Lord. It is time for you to possess all that has been prepared for you. Do not be afraid or doubt that you have been set aside for My purposes at this time and for this season. If you will yield to the moving of My Spirit, I will cause you to actualize your kingdom potential. Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

October 1, 2009: Allow the water of My Word to wash away all defilement of flesh and spirit. Let me cleanse you and release you into the power of a new day. Deliberately renew your mind, and let go of all ungodly and destructive mindsets. Rise up in faith and renewed hope as you release the past and prepare to move ahead. Refuse to allow the enemy to destroy your confidence by making you feel condemned. Overcome the flesh, and walk in the Spirit, says the Lord.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

October 2, 2009: The enemy is poised to attack you in the area of your emotions, but you must refuse to allow your flesh to rule or your emotions to run wild. Stand strong, and rise up in the Spirit where you can see clearly and maintain stability. Otherwise, it will be a roller-coaster ride. Let Me lead you through this maze of extreme demands, conflict, and confusion. The war is on, but victory comes through overcoming the works of the flesh and walking in the Spirit, says the Lord. Rise up! Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

October 5, 2009: I am establishing you, My people, in a spiritual Goshen. It is a place of safety and provision for those who are obedient to My word and those who stay in the flow of My Spirit, says the Lord. Your part is to maintain honesty and integrity as well as to be good stewards of what you've been given. Then, I will pour out My mercy, favor and grace, and I will give you wisdom and direct your steps. Go forth in the power of My blessings. Psalms 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

October 6, 2009: Establish yourself and exercise the authority to carry out the responsibilities that you've been given on this newly swept foundation. Be watchful, for the enemy will challenge your spiritual position. Refuse to allow the devil to undermine your confidence in this new spiritual territory. Stand your ground and maintain stability. I am with you to guide you and give you wisdom as necessary. Be alert, and keep your ear attuned to the sound of My voice, says the Lord. 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.

October 7, 2009: Beloved, refuse to allow frustration to hinder your progress. Calm yourself and quiet your soul, and allow Me to bring you through every challenge in peace. Obstacles will literally melt away if you will just trust Me to undertake as you pray your way through. I will give you strength to accomplish all that is before you and the wisdom that you need to surmount every obstruction and clear every hurdle. Be strong and set your will to conquer, says the Lord. Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

October 8, 2009: The enemy wants to create threatening situations that will produce enough intimidation to keep you from walking and living in the Spirit. Watch for these attacks and refuse to allow them to keep you earthbound. Just as I have called you to come higher, the devil is calling for you to go down with discouragement and disappointment because of the things you face and have to deal with. Refuse to allow him to ground you, says the Lord. Resist him and keep looking up. 1 Peter 5:9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

October 9, 2009: Be at peace and take opportunities to rest in Me. For, it is time for you to be refreshed and renewed in your body, soul and spirit. Be deliberate in your decisions to come into My presence to find restoration and healing. Don't hesitate. Come often. Set aside time to be quiet and seek My face, says the Lord. You will not regret it. Come! Psalm 37:5-8 Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret––it only causes harm.

October 12, 2009: In a dream I bought a helicopter for someone. It was fun and easy to use, but the person I bought it for was afraid she would crash it. I landed it in a field next to a house where there was some kind of political meeting. I was thinking if I could find her I could urge her to fly the helicopter, but she wasn't there. I tried to leave the meeting, but found that once people came into the room the doors locked and they couldn't get out. I had to wait for the next person to come in so I could slip out when the door was open. I got back in the helicopter, and was flying about 12 feet off the ground when I spotted a big bear and her cub below. The bear kept jumping up and tried to knock me out of the air, but it didn't work. I just flew away.
Interpretation: The helicopter symbolizes moving in the Spirit -- it's fun and easy, but some people are afraid.
The political meeting represents people who get trapped in church politics -- it's really hard to escape it, but possible.
The bear is symbolic of the devil doing his best to bring us down, but he will not get the job done.

October 13, 2009: You have made it over the hump. The worst is behind you, and now you can progress unhindered. I have brought you through just as I had promised, says the Lord. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. Rise up in praise, honor and glory to the Holy One of Israel, Almighty God, for He is worthy to be praised. Open your heart and let your words pour fourth in adoration and thanksgiving. Let the angels rejoice with you and give thunderous praise. Amen. Psalms 118:24 This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

October 14, 2009: Do you feel it? Can you sense it in the realm of the Spirit? You are entering a time of emancipation, a time when you will be absolutely free from controlling influences. For, I say to you that you are even now breaking free from bondage, restraint and control that have been demonically inspired, and you are moving into a realm of liberty that is refreshing and exhilarating. I call you forth into this new level of freedom, says the Lord. John 8:36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

October 15, 2009: Beloved, I am releasing a wave of revelation and wisdom that is necessary for you to move forward into the next stream of events in the flow of My Spirit, says the Lord. Be sensitive and pay attention to your observations, for they will point you in the right direction. No detail is small enough to overlook. Situations will take on greater than normal meaning for you as you look for signposts along the way. Watch and be aware. I am directing your steps. Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

October 16, 2009: Be strong! Watch for a lying spirit to open the door to a spirit of fear. Watch and be on guard; do not allow the enemy to gain a foothold in any area of your life. Defeat him where you find him, and put your faith and trust in Me, says the Lord, for I am well able to bring you through any challenge. Stand on the firm foundation of My promises to you, refusing to budge one inch from what you know to be the truth. 1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

October 19, 2009: I experienced a prophetic enactment in which there was a single strand of a spider's web about 3 feet in front of me, and instead of pulling it down I chose to ignore it. Then, within the space of about half an hour it was in my face. And, I heard the Lord say, " You we need to be pay attention and be aware of the work of the enemy and pull it down as soon as you see it or it will be in your face. 2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.

October 20, 2009: This is a new day -- let bygones be bygones, says the Lord. Every moment is a fresh and pristine opportunity to make a choice to live according to My Spirit. You have heard it said that actions speak louder than words. You can choose to illustrate the Kingdom of God by example and show that you are a child of the King. Be prepared to carry out your word in deed. 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

October 21, 2009: Things are not necessarily as they seem. You must walk the narrow line of truth to avoid deception. Venture forth cautiously and without haste. Proceed with your eyes wide open and your ears attuned to My Spirit. Be aware; be one with Me, says the Lord, for I will direct you and keep you from the snares of the enemy and from hidden dangers. Trust Me to lead you in the way of truth and righteousness. Psalms 141:9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

October 22, 2009: The Lord said to set a watch for disappointments and to guard our hearts with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23) And, I kept hearing Johnny Cash’s song "Walk the Line" over and over again. Here are the song lyrics --

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

October 23, 2009: I am revealing all that is hidden in the dark recesses of your heart and circumstances so that you may know precisely the source and reason for the things you are dealing with. I will show you the open doors that have allowed the attacks against you from the devil as well as your own flesh so that there is no question as to what you must fight against and overcome. Do not be afraid to make an honest examination of the things that have been a concern to you, says the Lord. Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

October 26, 2009: I heard in the Spirit the sounding of an A, as in an orchestra tuning their instruments. And, the Lord said, "I am sending a long and distinct sound from heaven to earth so that when you hear this sound that you can come into harmony with Me and with one another. Listen carefully and move with the heavenly sound, for now is the time to begin to move into the things that I have prepared for you. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

October 27, 2009: Beloved, I am systematically cutting off the flesh -- places where carnality has ruled. Everything that, up to this point, could be shaken has been shaken. But, the result of this shaking will be to release you from unnecessary burdens and bring you to a place of unbridled liberty in the Spirit. Now it is time to strengthen all that is pure and undefiled. Allow My Spirit to freely flow in, around, and through you, says the Lord. Hebrews 12:26-29 (His) voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.

October 28, 2009: Be aware and watch for the enemy's devices that will saddle you with imposition as he pressures you to act out of a sense of obligation instead of being moved by My Spirit. Just as you, My people, are learning to move in the unbridled liberty of the Spirit, the devil will do his utmost to keep you bound by religious exercise. Recognize it, and refuse to be brought into bondage in any way, says the Lord. Obligation has its roots in a spirit of fear. The fear of rejection results in being a people-pleaser. 1 Thessalonians 2:4 But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.

October 29, 2009: Victory is to the overcomer; it is not something that comes to you automatically or without effort. You have to seize it, take it by force. It is success in the struggle. I tell you this so that you will not take the position of a powerless victim. I have called you to be overcomers, conquerors, triumphant in all things. Refuse to allow the enemy to victimize you. Rise up and take your rightful position, says the Lord. Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

October 30, 2009: The stress caused by the issues of life have the potential to create stress in your physical body. Now is the time to deal with the issues and to tie up loose ends that keep you from maintaining peace emotionally, mentally and physically. Do not delay in taking care of these matters; procrastination is your enemy. Be diligent to methodically and consistently keep moving towards freedom and tranquility, says the Lord. Job 22:21 Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you.
