Believe My Word

December 19, 2007: It is time for you, My people, to believe My word and act like you believe. It is time for you to arise and activate your faith and nurture a strong developing faith that will prevail over all of the works of the enemy. For too long, the devil has brought delusion, and he has promoted lies among you. I am the Lord of Hosts who comes to you to lay My sword upon your shoulder to deem you knighted for such a time as this to be a warrior in the Kingdom of God, never to retreat or back up. I say to you, if you will arise and draw near to Me and resist the devil he will indeed flee from you, and you shall have the victory, says the Lord.

December 18, 2007: It is imperative that My people use the last two weeks of this year as a time of rejoicing for the goodness of the Lord. This rejoicing will open the door for the Father’s great grace and divine favor that will come in 2008 – the year of the open door. On some level victory has come to ALL of My people in this season, but you may not understand the fullness of it at this time. Again, I say rejoice, for if you do, the fulfillment of that which has begun in the spirit will manifest in your lives in this next season, says the Lord.

December 17, 2007: Please listen and understand that I told you that you would begin to hear the sounds of heaven as they came to earth, for with My sound comes My vibration, which brings the opportunity for change within your spirit. What change would that be? It would be a realignment of your spirit with heaven that you may experience the joy of your King and the peace of the kingdom. Indeed, you will hear the sounds that were prophesied. It is time now for you to know experientially that I have prepared an atmosphere in which the vibration of My sound invades your spirit and atmosphere whereby I can touch you at the very roots of your existence. As I bring My sound to your spirit, allow it to change you and align you with My glory. Let Me touch you and open the doors of the Spirit and bring the times of refreshing that you so earnestly desire. You will look back soon and declare that this past year was both the best and the hardest of your existence. You faced many trials and yet you experienced My glory and blessings as well. These times were for your good and for your strengthening and growth so that the eyes of your understanding would be opened and that you might begin to know that I am in control of your destiny as I will unfold it before you day by day. As you walk the paths of your destiny the doors of My kingdom will continue to open before you. Get ready for the next season, for it will bring forth greater joy and fewer trials. You, My people, have been overcomers even when you thought you had failed. For, I lead you always in triumph, and you shall see the glory of your King who leads and guides you. Receive the gift of great joy and peace. Make it yours, for it will make you ready for the season that lies before you, which shall be called The Season of the Open Door. In fact, many doors will open that you will walk through, and each door will show you an aspect of the Kingdom. It will show you the specific work being done in you at that time. Each door will provide an opportunity for you to come higher. Lay hold of this sound of heaven as it comes to you. Allow it to be the strength of My presence in you, says the Lord.

December 10, 2007: This is the Day of My power, says the Lord, and I will lift up your head; I will cause you to walk in divine authority. This is a time when you can be all that I have called you to be and a season when you must draw near to Me and resist the devil until he flees from you. My desire is that you experience My presence, for these are the days of the revealing of My glory. Walk it out and be amazed. I have prepared for you things that you cannot even imagine or perceive. I will show you things that you have not known but have longed to see and understand. I will reveal these things to you, and you will experience My kingdom in a new, fresh and powerful way.

December 4, 2007: I have already spoken to you that I would come to you in this season between Thanksgiving and the Celebration of Life. I said I would bring unto you gifts. This day I declare to you that the first gifts you will receive are joy and peace. It is My purpose to bring you joy that is full of glory. It is My purpose to bring you the peace that passes all understanding. I give these to you, My people, so that you might rejoice and take pleasure in the Kingdom. I want you to learn to express joy in My kingdom; express it to Me for salvation; express it to others for their godly influence in your life; express your joy for all that I have done for you and will do, says the Lord, and surely you shall find peace.

December 3, 2007: I keep hearing in my spirit, "fading glory." And, the Lord says, the spiritual void that you are now experiencing is as a result of the fading glory of the season that is behind you. That which is now diminishing will make room for the glory of the new season ahead of you. The glory of the new season will far exceed the glory of the old season even as the natural seasons have their own glory. I speak of the glory of spring which gives way to the glory of summer. They identify a season change. That glory which is coming is much greater than that which is behind. Take a look at the season that you have been through and identify what I did, says the Lord. What you have experienced will prepare you for what is ahead. It will be a giant step up in the spirit. In terms of spiritual reality and revelation of the Kingdom you will sense the fading of one and anticipation of the one to come. Do not be alarmed or worry if you feel displaced in this transition. There will be some adjustment as you make the transition. As you seek Me, I will prepare you for a new season of life and its abundance

Words From Marsha Burns

December 21, 2007: Face the things you dread. Ignoring difficult circumstances will not make them go away. If you will courageously face your difficult trials you will find that I have been there the whole time to give wisdom and direction and to bring you through in dignity and victory. I am your help in troubled times, and My grace is sufficient to every task. Do not be afraid to confront, and do so with the determination and confidence that you are not alone in this battle, says the Lord. Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

December 20, 2007: Beloved, there are always two roads before you -- one that always leads to and produces life in you and everyone and everything around you. The other leads to death and destruction, and it also affects everyone and everything around you. You will choose the path you take by the decisions you make daily. If you cannot decide what to do in any situation push each option to its ultimate logical conclusion, and ask Me to give you the wisdom you need to choose wisely, says the Lord. Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live."

December 19, 2007: I had a dream about trying to go back to a place from my past, and it was really hard. This was the dream: I had been offered a job with a brokerage firm and had been given office space that I would share with someone. In the meantime, a woman from our church wanted me to braid her hair, but I didn't have time because I needed to get to work. I had trouble finding the office building and then trouble finding the elevator and then trouble finding the door to my office. Once I got there the guy that I shared the space with could see that I was distraught. I began to not want to make the calls necessary to develop a client base or to read the Wall Street Journal or Reuter's every day. I didn't want the stress of setting up another computer or proving myself to my new associates. So, my office mate talked to me about being in a wrong place and not going through with this new venture associated with my past. I felt so lost and out of the flow, so I took his advice and walked away from it. I believe this dream is not just a warning to me but perhaps to many in the Body of Christ, and it has to do with resisting the temptation to go back to old places that were once lucrative or presented some place of security (stockbrokers deal in "securities.") Trying to go back will take us out of the flow of the Spirit because the flow never takes us backwards, but always moves us forward. The woman in the dream has to do with places of ministry, and the fact that I had no time for her represents a wrong focus and misplaced priorities. I believe my office-mate represents the Holy Spirit who will keep us from making wrong choices.

December 18, 2007: Beloved, pay attention and observe. Things that have been problematic and uncertain will now begin to be settled and fall into place. You will suddenly be aware that your inward struggle and worry did not help one bit. Let this time be a mile-marker in your journey that will always bring to remembrance the certainty of My mercy and grace. Certainly, I am with you to bring resolution to every dilemma and to simplify even the most complex problems. Trust Me with your whole heart, says the Lord. Lamentations 3:22-25 Through the LORD’S mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!" The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.

December 17, 2007: During our after-service prophetic psalming I had a vision of men dancing in celebration of their soon-to-be Bridegroom. It seemed to be a time of reaffirming His covenant with His Bride. And I had the sense that He was restating for all who would hear His promises to protect and provide for His Beloved. Though I never saw the Bride, she seemed near, almost ready and perhaps even waiting. As I watched the powerful and victorious celebration there was an air of unbelievable excitement of the consummation of this marriage covenant. The dance was under an open heaven, a clear night with a starry sky. And, I thought of these scriptures:
John 3:29 "He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.
And ...
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

December 14, 2007: I am calling to an entire generation to rise above the limitations established by past failures and disappointments. Haven't I said that old ceilings will become new floors? Haven't I called you to a new spiritual plateau? I have made a way for you to come up, but you must cooperate by leaving the past behind and pressing on. Put forth the effort required to be aware of the enemy's tactics against you and exercise your will and faith to overcome. I am the Author and Finisher of your faith; yield to My power to bring you forth into new realms of glory, says the Lord. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

December 13, 2007: Follow closely the leading of My Spirit. This means that you must not try to anticipate what I am going to do and run out ahead or you will lose yourself in presumption. But, you also must not lag behind or you will be bogged down and lost in procrastination. Walk with Me! This will require that you pay close attention and be aware at all times. Ask and I will sharpen your discernment to know the times and seasons and the moving of My Spirit, says the Lord. 2 Peter 1:5-9 Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self–control, to self–control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

December 12, 2007: By My Spirit, I will bring to your remembrance troubling people and circumstances that you still need to forgive and release. This is a necessary prerequisite to your spiritual growth and effectiveness in My kingdom. Watch as you encounter people unexpectedly that represent past resentment, and take it as a sign that you need to deal with even the tiniest bit of unforgiveness. You must do this by choosing to forgive and release by the power of your will. Let go of all rejection and wounding from the past and prepare to move on in greater power of My Spirit, says the Lord. Matthew 5:23-24 "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift."

December 11, 2007: Do you sense the urgency to clean up and tie up loose ends? Soon you will make a break with the past, which is necessary before you begin to move forward again. Be very sensitive to the leading of My Spirit to complete tasks that remain undone or unfulfilled. This will allow your mind to be free of unnecessary worry and clutter before you begin the next phase of productivity in both the natural and supernatural realms. The effort you put forth now to leave nothing undone will yield much fruit in the days ahead. Be diligent, says the Lord. Proverbs 10:4 He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

December 10, 2007: Be still and discern the methods and tactics of the enemy as he tries to bring destruction. Observe closely the activity of the prince of peril who brings his wicked schemes to pass. I tell you the truth that he can only enter into your circumstances if you have made a way through sin. Examine yourself to see if you have opened a door to this dangerous environment through being a busybody, through gossip, backbiting, judgment, and a critical spirit. Quickly shut the door to the devil by repenting and turning from these destructive practices. This is a time when you must be about the Father's business and mind your own business, says the Lord. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

December 7, 2007: Watch for Me to bring to light things that have been shrouded in darkness or hidden in the shadows of life. The undercurrent of your circumstances will now be revealed so that you can better understand and cope. The result will be that your responses and decisions will be based on more information and greater clarity. Your part is to keep your situations uncluttered from unnecessary mental and emotional activity to make room for greater spiritual awareness. Be spiritually sensitive, says the Lord. Ecclesiastes 2:14 The wise man’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived that the same event happens to them all.

December 6, 2007: Rise up and meet your enemy, for he has come up against you to bring discouragement and defeat. Refuse to allow his tactics to bring you down, for you shall have the victory if you stand strong in faith. Do not give up or become a victim of your circumstances. Call on the Lord of the host of heaven to send His angels to help in your time of trouble, says the Lord. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Romans 4:20-21 He (Abraham) did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

December 5, 2007: You need a reminder that I am bringing you to a higher level of order, divine order. And, this will involve some changes on your part that might even seem to be extreme transformation as you move to this new phase of your life. Do not lament the things that must be left behind, but rather rejoice that I will show you precisely what must be cast away and what can be kept and what needs to be gathered. Hold the things of the world loosely. Do not pin your hopes on that which has no eternal value, says the Lord. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
