The same kind of liberty you have in sports and on the ball field. I am giving you that liberty before Me." Say's the Lord," I would have you learn to enjoy Me. I would have you to give yourself to Me in order that I can bring the full healing that you so desire. I have emotional healing for you."

Liberty is My key." Say's the Lord.---given by Pastor Mark

The Lord say's." Let go of the past. I want you to let go of the things you have done to offend Me in the past, things that are forgiven, the things that are cleansed by My blood.

The Lord is speaking to each and every one of us, to our hearts. He is saying, that you know what it is not called upon for certain people to prophesy, certain people to give words of knowedge. I have called each one of you in a gift. I want you to step out into it. It's time in believing it. It's time to start using it. I am always talking. Think about how you talk with your friends,you neighbors and your spouse. You are alway's talking. I am alway's talking. I need you to be used. If you think about that, I am alway's talking. So the thing is you need to start listening because I am speaking. I want to find something out that you can only hear. ---given by Shelly

I sense that some of us have not been honest with God. Maybe, some of us have unresolved issues that we hold against God. Maybe, some things that you are blaming Him for.

I thank the LORD one plus two, it's expect the unexpected. All the charecter's in the Bible like Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Joeseph, Samuel and David, even all of them and Jesus constantly surprized those who they ministered to. We work hard to deny ourselves to follow Him. The Christian life is an adventure. It really Is! I've been a Christian since I was eight years old. That was a great many years ago, and we not need be afraid of that adventure the Lord has for us. Sometimes we feel weak, but that is stress. In stress we are made perfect. We need to take risks sometimes. Not to maintain life, but to obtain life. Sometimes when we get to the age that my husband and I are, we see and hear of a marriage of our grandson which puts us in a catagory of old people. GOD to me has called sometimes chronologicaly advanced in age people to do His work. Abraham started at the age of seventy-five, but He calls up younger people too. Some older people give that excuse,"I am to old!" Noah was six hundred years old when he started to build the Ark. That is what the bible tell's us so there is assignments from GOD even for those with grey hair and for those who are younger there is a challenge. So prepare for the unexpected. Focus on the one who calls us. Remember Jeramiah 33: Keep your eye's on HIM. Constant in contact with the LORD as much as you can and then when He moves in our lives we will be ready only when He is there. GOD's scope of life is unlimited, our scope is not, but GODS is unlimited. I am so glad He gives strenghth to the weak. given by Dorothy

God reminded me of Elijah. Elijah had given a word to King Ahab that there was going to be a famine in the land. There was not going to be any dew or rain for several years. God told King Ahab to go to a certain location, in which God sent ravens to feed him. Basically, what I get from this is that it doesn't matter how bad things look. "I am the God of the impossible. I will make sure your needs are met. So, believe in Me and trust Me because I am the God who sent the ravens to feed Elijah."---given by Shelly>

"I have Mercy. Mercy! I have Mercy, mercy,mercy, mercy! I have endless and boundless mercy! Immerse yourself in My mercy. Forgive yourself and Love yourself in My mercy. I have Mercy!" ---given by Kari

"Don't worry. Don't be afraid. Don't be apprehensive. Don't be discouraged. I hold your victory. Your fabulous victory in My safe storage place. Don't worry. I will cause you to be victorious. You will win. You will come out on top of this!" say's the Lord,"But sometimes I hold the victory in store even if it's there. Sometimes I don't give it to you immediately, because I am doing something in you through the struggle and through the battle. I am accomplishing things in you that you know not. If I would give you the victory immediately without the battle, without even the battle scars, then you would not come out shining great and glorious as I want you to. Don't be afraid to do battle with the enemy, don't be discouraged if the victory tarries. I am still in charge, I will still bring you out to be on top. All will be well!" say's the Lord. ---given by Tom

When the Lord decended from the Mount of Olives, His disciples and the whole of the multitude began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miricles which they had seen. "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and Glory in the Highest!" So the pharisees and the multitude said unto Him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" He ansewred and said,"If these become silent, the stones will cry out!" Brother, if you feel like a stone, you can still cry out! We are lively stones put in the wall's of the City, of Jeresalm. Let the stones cry out! Arise! Adoni! Praise Him!---given by Wendell

"Subscribe to the Lord oh families of people. Subscibe to the Lord the strenght. Subcribe to the Lord the glory due His name. Bring an offering when you come before Him. Worship the Lord in Holy array as we receive." As the music was playing and we were singing, this scripture came to me. What the Lord spoke to me about was bringing an offering. What an offering is not. He will not settle for our money. He will not settle for anything but our hearts. That's the only offering that we can give Him. I would encurage you to give Him everything. If there is anything in our hearts, if there is anything we are holding back from Him. It doesnt do any good, for He see's all. One way or another He will get it out of us so we may as well offer willfully. That's what He desire's. As we offer to Him, He gives us the desires of our hearts. ---given by Wendell

Later, I shall lead with a rod, but in this day, I lead with gentleness. Follow Me and I will satisfy you.'" ---given by Pastor Mark

I don't know who this is for this morning. I think there is someone this is for. The Lord is saying to you, "Yes you can! You can do it!" The Lord is weighing something on your heart, something to do. You are saying, "I can't do it!", but the Lord is saying, "Yes you can! You can do it! If you just step out and take one step you will find even as I allowed Peter to walk on water when He stepped out of the boat. If you take one step, then I will be there for you. I will help you to complete it." The Lord is saying to you, "Yes you can!" ---given by Tom

"My grace is sufficient for you. Hear Me! My grace is plenty sufficient for you. With My grace flowing through you, you have no lack," say's the Lord. "I delight in needy and humble vessels even those who are weak in themselves and who know it, who are aware, but have learned to draw on My riches of free grace. My children, it does not matter what your need is, it does not matter what your problem is--My grace is there for you and it is rich. It is abundant-- greater than any need that you could ever have.
