Right now, the Lord has been revealing in layers to me revelation on how to open ancient gates so that His glory can come in and occupy and restore the lands. I believe these prophetic restoration models will become a future book.
As the revelation unfolds, please join me in commanding the ancient gates to lift (Psalm 24:7-10):
Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty-
he is the King of glory.
This information the Lord is revealing about ancient gates will greatly help us as we build and expand His territory.
I pray you are blessed and in good health.
Grace and peace upon you.
Yesterday evening during prayer time I received these words while in the Spirit from our Lord. These words are on a topic that He has not shared with me up until this point, but obviously it is something that is on His heart at this time to share with His people.
After scribing the words, the scripture that came to me to support this message was Proverbs 3:11 "My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in". He is disciplining us with these words, those of us who have been "sleeping in the spirit" instead of "resting in His spirit".
May you blessed by reading this and may you receive His words and obey. I am certainly going to obey Him... for blessed are those that hear the word of the Lord and obey Him.
Love,
Keisha Dawn
A little slumber, a little sleep
and your land becomes barren
poverty will await at your door.
Slumber and sleep of the sluggard
begets its fruit accordingly.
Do you want to eat of this fruit?
The fruit of the sluggard?
I did not create a people that sleep
in the spirit. Yet my bride sleeps
and it pains me so.
There is a difference between sleeping in the
spirit and resting in the spirit.
Resting in me, in my spirit produces abundant
fruit, for when you rest in me your strength is
renewed and your bones refreshed.
Dry, brittle bones of the sluggard mark the reward
of the idle.
I say unto my people, rest in me...
rest in my spirit and produce in abundance!

Proverbs 3:11

I am writing at 2:33am, awakened from what could have been a nightmare but I turned it around by bringing the Lord into the dream and it ended well.
Yesterday, I did not spend a long time in prayer and the rest of the day just didn't feel the same.
Having our "daily bread" in the physical realm is very important. If we don't eat, we become irritable, we are unable to focus, and worse case scenario we will die from malnutrition.
This, my friends, is the same in the spiritual realm.
If we don't eat God's Word, edifying our spirits, we fall prey to our fleshly nature, we lack peace and our spirit is malnourished.
In the New Testament, John chapter 15 talks about Abiding in His Vine. Metaphorically, we are all like branches and we need Jesus Christ- our vine- in order to flourish and bear fruit.
My dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, let me exhort you to continue to draw deeper into the Lord. Edify your spirit with His Word. Spend time in prayer with Him to also listen to what He has to say to you (yes- He talks back in various ways). Find a good spirit-filled church fellowship (ask Him and He will lead you). Praise and worship Him. These will all strengthen your spirit and your relationship with Him as you abide in His Vine.
May your day be full of peace and fruitfulness for Kingdom Everlasting.

You are so special to me.
I see my people seeking acceptance and belonging in a fallen world.
You have already been accepted
by the one that counts- Me.
The Most High
The Great I Am.
I have the Greatest Kingdom, the Greatest Riches, the Greatest Love
for you.
Why settle for less?
The things of this world are temporary and pass away.
Tell me, can you ask these things for your salvation?
What good is it to gain the world yet lose your soul?
I have prepared a life for you already dedicated to me
and This Kingdom...
Kingdom Everlasting.

Today is the first day of the Agape Love Works Prayer Network and I am so excited about what the Lord is doing with us.
Here is an excerpt from today's prayer strategy and covering:
There is a shift taking place in the atmosphere. Many of you have heard that "the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous". This is indeed true. However, right before a breakthrough there is adversity. There is tribulation. I say unto you this day to Keep Pressing On!

Greetings,
I received these words during prayer time on May 27th 2009. May you be blessed by these words from our Lord....
Release.
Release your past and all negative thinking.
Release old habits and ways that have hindered your progression.
These old ways are like the bark of the tree, the surface that crusts and falls to the ground only good for ember.
These layers must be chipped away.
Take my axe and whack off the old timber.
Then you will see new branches emerge.
You will see green.
You will enter into a spring season, full of greens and buds and they will need my living water, they will need my light.
Clear out the brush from the past.
Clear out every person, every old habit that was in your past that plotted your destruction, your demise.
Surround yourself with my light and my living water.
Surround yourself with my people that will nurture this growth in this green season.
I grant favor to you this day.
Struggle no more- my people that have been through the winter, that have seen the face of death and destruction yet stood fast in my Word, which holds my promises.
Your steadfast spirit is now being rewarded.
Enter this green season, this season of new life.
Scriptures:
Hebrews 11:12
Acts 4:24-31
Hebrews 3
Hebrews 4
The past week or so I've been reading Ezekiel 37- The Valley of Dry Bones- over and over. It's like the Lord was trying to tell me something about the road ahead. There is revelation here for those that are chosen to do a work for the Kingdom and you are being lead into a land that is currently barren.
This morning, these words came to me while in the spirit:
I will lead you and guide you through these waters. I have prepared the way. Press your ear to me and my word and continue to love others but hate sin.
Today, Ezekiel 47... 10 chapters later... quickened to me, so I read that
chapter as well. It talks about The River from the Temple. There were some areas that stood out to me where the Holy Spirit has shed understanding on for this journey:
1. Ezekiel was lead into water that was ankle-deep initially.
2. Next, the water was knee-deep.
3. The water then rose to waist-level.
4. According to Ezekiel 47:5, He then came to an area that he could not cross because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in, but it was a river that no one could cross.
As we progress in our spiritual journey and calling, there are different levels of anointing that we'll need as we move ahead. When we first start, an ankle-deep anointing is good enough but as we move forward we'll get to points where we'll need a higher level of the anointing, doing high level Kingdom work that clearly shows that God is helping you because you can't do it in your own power and strength. Heidi Baker's Iris Ministries is a great example of this high-level anointing.
As I continued reading into Ezekiel 47:7-12, it became quite clear to me
1. The function of the anointing:
a) to freshen surroundings
b) to give life to surroundings
c) to draw "fishermen" or fishers of men to your work to cast their nets and help bring in souls
d) to bear fruit that will edify and heal surroundings (specifically, verse 12- their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing)
2. The importance of not stagnating at the lower anointing levels:
a) the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt
So, I hope this gives you faith and encouragement to continue moving forward in the water to the point that God's anointing consumes you and you are no longer in control. The puzzle pieces of Ezekiel 37 and Ezekiel 47 came together today and I praise the Lord for His revelation and illumination as it pertains to the journey ahead for His people.
Praise you, Father God!
I am the vine, you are the branch.
Under my covering there is protection. There is peace. There is an indescribable joy man is unable to produce in his own strength. It is part of my design. For I am the Architect. I have sent the Cornerstrone that provides the structure, the foundation to withstand the wind, to withstand the rain. My house does not fall. It will not fall, for what I make is good.
Look to me, The Most High, to build and produce for you. Have you come to me to receive your assignment? Have you come to my throne, humbled and broken so that I can produce through you and not just for you?
So many come to my throne full of pride, with hands out, asking. I see very few come with their hands raised, praising.
Spend time with me. Spend time in my Word. Then you will begin to understand the greater things. Then my spirit will reveal to you the desires of my heart for you to achieve these great things for my kingdom, for my glory.
For you see, I am the Living God and everything I design is for a reason. Rest in knowing you are here for a reason... to do great works for me.
Come to me with hands raised, praising. Come to me on knees bowed, praying. Come to me humbled and broken and let me shine through you. Breathe the breath of life and your dry bones will be renewed, your spirit refreshed.
I am the Great I am. I am Alpha and Omega. It all begins and it all ends with me!
