Psalm 18:19 - "He brought me out into a spacious place."
In this season you're going to find yourself in the front, where many will see and be blessed by what you carry and what God has developed in the secret place.

Galatians 6:7 - "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."
It is a mockery to question that I can obey God and not have a reward. It is a mockery to think that I could do something that God would not take notice of.

In...
Proverbs 18:21 - "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
This season is going to be a season for your mouth to declare what you have seen and heard in the spirit. Make sure that your words line up to His Word! You cannot waste any more...
Have as little to do with the world as you possibly can. Things of the world have a glutinous quality; if you let the heart lie any while amongst them, it will be enslaved to them. Be more and better acquainted with Jesus Christ; get nearer to Him, be more in communion with Him -- get more...
John 15:5 - "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

2 Samuel 5:19,20 - "And David inquired of the LORD, 'Shall I go up against the Philistines?... And he said, 'The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like a breaking flood.'"

2 Corinthians 3:18 - "And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

Hosea 2:16 - "'It will come about in that day,' declares the Lord, 'that you will call Me Ishi....'"
Ishi, in Hebrew, is a name which means, "my husband" and expresses the intimacy of a close relationship. You might be in a desert, but the desert doesn't have to be in you. Jesus said there are...

Revelation is the seed that impregnates you with expectation. The two always go...
1John 2:27 “But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you..."
We want a pure river flowing from our hearts. John, the revelator, spoke of a pure river, pure as crystal (Revelation 22:1). He spoke of how the river was flowing out of the throne and out of the Lamb.
The anointing...
Genesis 12:1 - "The LORD had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you."
God is calling us to boldly follow Him into the unknown. As we do, we will be brought into a whole new place! The very things that many Believers have been...
In Joshua's day, before crossing the Jordan River and moving into their inheritance, God said to the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you" (Joshua 3:5).
This is an exhortation for us today!
DRAW NEAR TO GOD
The word consecrate, in Hebrew, is actually...
Ephesians 4:24 - "and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."

The Lord Jesus gives us this divine union by the Spirit so that we can be fruitful. All the vine has is made available to the branches -- to give us what we...
