These Words came to me during time with Him this morning- Jan. 27 2009. I pray you are edified by these words.
Love, Sister K.D.....
If there was ever a time to do my Will, now is that time. For this is the hour that my son will move miraculous waves of my power through my people. A revival will spread across the land. I will anoint many with different mantles of glory. The ones that have kept the ways of the Lord. The ones that have not done evil by turning from me. Manasseh will see this wave. Do not fear, my daughter. You know I love you with a perfect love, a love that casts out all fear. Tell my people how much I love them. Tell them I have heard their prayers and some I have answered at this hour. Others, I must continue to do a work with them. Rend your hearts to me. Seek my Will, for my Will will always be done. If you relinquish control, and let me- the Author and Finisher of Your Faith- reign over your life you will find peace. You will then be at peace. For then you will be in my perfect will. And my Will will always be done.
Scripture reading: Read David's Song of Praise: 2 Samuel 22
Please note that I was not aware of Manasseh until hearing this word from Him this morning. I researched it and found it is a one of the lost tribes of Israel. They are the latest Jews to fulfill what the prophets foretold thousands of years ago: The in gathering of the exiles.
So today was extra special because I felt His presence about a half an hour before a teleconference. You've been seeing me post other peoples' devotionals recently because spiritually I had been dry, waiting on Him. I have been weary from life in general and wondering where He'd been lately.
Wow. It feels so good to feel the weight of His glory again. Some of you know what I mean... it's sort of like the high that drug addicts are striving for. But it's God's high.. it's a spiritual high and it's the best place to be.
So, while under His glory, He lead me to quite a few areas in the Bible. I am sharing them with you now, so that you can read these when you have a chance. I have yet to sit down and really see if there is an underlying theme in them. Sometimes there is... sometimes He has a particular Word or He's trying to communicate something from His heart to His people.
If you see revelation or a common theme in these scriptures, do feel free to post a comment. No one has really commented on my posts yet, only a couple of people. That's okay. I know that people consistently read this. I am not doing this for my own glory. As long as I know you all are being edified by the postings and being lead into a closer, more intimate relationship with the Lord than I am at peace.
Love, Sis K.D...
Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land, says the Lord Almighty.
Hear me speak Hear me say unto you

Keep A Steadfast Mind Bishop Keith Butler
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3
You probably know your share of people who are messing up their lives big time, and some are already on the brink of destruction. Why is this the case? Well, most people don't practice keeping a steadfast mind.
When your mind is steadfast, then it is firmly fixed in place. Isaiah 26 says, "...whose mind is stayed on thee..." The word 'stayed' is important here because it means your mind is not subject to change. Your mind is firm in belief, determination, or adherence.
For years, I've noticed that many successful people master this issue of the mind. They have learned how to be firmly fixed, or to take the position to follow after what is the right course of action. They will apply their decision to the end and do whatever it takes to sharpen themselves once their minds are determined. This is certainly true regarding the things of God. You'll have victory in your life once you learn to keep a steadfast mind.
Isaiah 26 continues by giving you the reason why you need a steadfast mind. God will keep you in perfect peace. Having perfect peace is what you should strive for. It means regardless of what comes your way, you're cool and even-tempered. Nothing can upset, bother, or destroy you. You're at rest with things and you operate in total confidence.
When you learn to trust in God, the result is perfect peace. Yet, there are many Christians who don't have this peace. Let's examine why. James 1:5 says, "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." You can't go around your whole life as a man or woman of two minds, who is always hesitating. That's being uncertain and unreliable about everything you think, feel, or decide. A steadfast mind is necessary in order to function in God's perfect peace.
James, chapter 5 outlines the problem of an unstable person: he's unstable in all his ways. Do you understand that a double-minded man is not just unstable in one area, but every single area of his life?
But, you can have a steadfast mind! Just keep your mind stayed on God and His principles, and it will produce perfect peace and victory in your life.

Market Resistance TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2, by Os Hillman 01-21-2009 "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5-6).
Have you ever heard someone say, "He was before his time?" There are many examples of people who invented a product or service in a time when the market was not ready to embrace the product yet. Other things had to develop before the product could be a success.
George Washington Carver experienced this. Born around 1861 during the Civil War, he was a man who should have been a victim to his circumstances. Discriminated against constantly, he lost his mother to slave traders. As a young boy he cried out to God in the midst of his circumstances and God heard him. God gave George an indomitable persevering spirit and he was highly motivated to learn.
Carver discovered that Southern farmers who planted cotton for hundreds of years needed to plant a new crop because the soil had worn out and the farmers were going into interminable debt as a result. To restore the soil Carver advised the planting of peanuts and sweet potatoes instead of cotton. After much persuasion, planters gradually increased their peanut and sweet potato acreage, until these became the number-one crops in the South. However, there was not substantial market for the peanuts and sweet potatoes. Forced to let the product rot in the fields, the farmers ended up losing more money then before.
This situation placed a great deal of pressure on Carver. He took the problem to God in prayer and said, "Mr. Creator, why did You make the peanut?" Many years later, he shared that God led him back to his lab and worked with him to discover some 300 marketable products from the peanut including lard, mayonnaise, cheese, shampoo, instant coffee, flour, sop, face powder, plastics, adhesives, axle grease, and pickles.
Likewise, from the sweet potato he made more than 100 discoveries, among them starch, library paste, vinegar, shoe blacking, ink, and molasses. Because of these new products, the demand for peanuts and sweet potatoes grew and literally transformed the Southern economy.*
Has God made you an inventor? Ask him to help you bring your product to market.
Return to me. I am your first love. You knew me before the cares of this world led you astray. You gave me leftover love. But I have patiently waited for you to come back.
For you see, I am God of Grace. I am compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. I call my people to me. For this is a new day. I am doing a new thing. Come and receive your divine assignment. You were purposed here for a reason. Come to me and I will tell you these hidden mysteries.
You have cried yourself to sleep at times. You thought no one could see. But I could see. I saw every tear, my son. I saw every tear, my daughter. I patiently wait for you to return to me so I can wipe away those tears. Not just the tears of the past, but the tears of the present. The tears of the future. Verily, I saw again there will be a time when no more tears will abound. For every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
I am the Living God. Do not be deceived by the doctrines of this world that lead you astray and confuse you. They tickle your ears and disguise themselves as light. The powers of darkness deceive some.
Be not deceived. God can not be mocked.
I say again I am the Living God. I sent my son to die for you, to wash you clean from sin. There can be no atonement of sin without the shedding of blood. There can be counterfeit, but you are to guard your hearts from deception. Keep your eyes on me and me alone and you will see that I am the Living God. Put not your faith into false doctrine, false prophets, false religion. Put your faith in me, for I am the Living God. My people will live and not die.
Raise your hands and bow at the knee to the Living God. Not to pride, not to money, not to worry, not to idols. Who the son sets free is free indeed. Raise your hands and I will lift you up. You will mount the winds as my eagle. For I am doing a new thing. Come, receive the mystery of your purpose. I will show you, and you will be set free. Return to your first love.
Isaiah 61 The Year of the LORD's Favor
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a]
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
5 Aliens will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6 And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.
7 Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
8 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed."
10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.
I declare and decree this over my life in Jesus name! For God is the Promise Keeper and I stand on His word!
Bills have you down? Recession have you down?
Lift up a garment of praise!
You see, the more we praise Him, the more He lifts us up out of the mire... the more we glory Him, the less power we give our trials and tribulations.
Gas bill due? Light bill due?
Thank the Lord for what you already have! Show gratitude to Him for your current blessings. Angels are empowered and released on assignment when you speak God's Word over problems!
Bless the Holy Spirit! Ask Him to stir up in you. There are times when I"m just in His glory and I'm taken out of the physical realm into the spiritual realm.
...and there is so much peace in the spiritual realm. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Seek Him with all your heart and I promise you He will carry you through...
So no matter what you're going through... tap in... tap into the Holy Spirit... your Counselor, your Protector...
Let Him consume you and give you peace...
A peace that passes all understanding!
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn- shout for joy before the Lord, the King! Psalm 98:4-6
Happy New Year! We are in Hebrew year 5769 (it actually started on September 30th 2008 and ends on September 18 2009) Since most of us observe the Gregorian calendar, I do hope you are seeking Him in the Secret Place today for revelation, peace and direction for your life for 2009. The Lord has revealed quite a few things to me in this spirit regarding this year. I will share bit by bit during the month of January as we renew our minds, bodies and spirits moving forward! Be blessed and stand on Psalm 121 as we move forward towards the end times. On December 29th, while spending time with our Father in the Holy of Holies, He gave me words. I pray your day is blessed as you eat this scroll. Love, Sis K.D.... The Water It is this day I am separating the wheat from the tare. The pure in heart, I am drawing closer to me. Closer still. Walk with me hand and hand beside the Water. At times, the water is still. That is my peace. At times, the water is loud, rushing upon the ears of those who dare to tread along the embankment. The rushing water represents my tears. For there are many that I have called to walk hand and hand with me that have declined the invitation. Cry for mercy. There is a message I'm sending through the scrolls of my prophets. I am sending this message to those who have ears to hear and eyes that see. Set your feet upon the Rock. The Rock is your refuge. I am that Rock. Surely the waters will overtake the wicked. It will drown their voices upon my return. In this hour, I will hear your cry for mercy if you call me to help. This is Kingdom News. Read and receive what I have to say. There will be a time when I will cry no more. There will be a time when my people will cry no more. My word does not return void. This is a promise. Make your choice now and receive my invitation. Receive the invitation to walk with me beside the still waters. Scriptures to accompany His words (there were many...)
