“It is time to learn the art of ‘reset’ says the Lord. Your focus has to be on allowing things to happen rather than using force to make them happen. You cannot force something to flow, as once you stop applying the forces, the flow will immediately stop. Flow can only be achieved and maintained by ‘allowing’ if you do your part. Take the necessary action steps and then allow the Spirit to flow freely through you and the result you are seeking will happen.
The key to ‘allowing’ is the focus on the power of the Holy Spirit and the setting aside of any notion of your own strength. Yes you have talents, yes you have gifts, but whose are they? They work best in conjunction with their Creator and this requires the vehicle (you) to step to one side and allow the production of the fruit to take place. Such righteous fruit is nectar to Me says the Lord. Let us go forward together and create a bountiful harvest.
Proper planning is so essential that it allows you to structure your activities in the spiritual realm before you embark upon them in the natural realm. Without planning how can people know what to pray and ask Me? So many people use their prayer life as a crises management tool. They are always asking for help with things that have gone wrong. Many never come to the realization that if they planned their lives properly, consulted Me about things before they did them, they would not be having these things going wrong in the first place. Together we will create the blueprint. You will walk in diligent obedience, taking the action steps and sticking to the plan. Then you will ‘rest’ and watch the miraculous outcome unfold.
Pressure can create coal or diamonds, says the Lord. Fortunately for you there is a choice. The outcome is decided by the choices you make. Keep focusing on the action steps that you know produce the results that you are looking for. Stay in the flow and the good success that you deserve will come naturally to you. Maintain a confident, disciplined, obedient attitude and you will be able to attain any goal with My Spirit working through you.”
The Father prompted us to read Psalm 33 & 17

The Lord Yahuah gave us a powerful message about wealth. Remember, there is nothing wrong with being rich. It is NOT the money that promotes evil, it is the dependancy and LOVE of money.
“The wealth of this world blinds the eyes to the reality of eternity says the Lord. It is a wise and rare person who understands that everything gained now is of NO value in the time to come. Making money is not the issue. The issue is whether or not the pursuit of success is causing a person to build upon their platform with wood , hay & stubble or with gold, sliver and precious stones. That is ALL that matters.
Nothing else matters and to believe otherwise is a lie and a deception. To pursue anything without understanding the eternal impact and consequence is a road to disaster. This one thing will cause much weeping and gnashing of teeth says the Lord. Do not be concerned with the standards of this world. Be concerned only with the standards of righteousness.
Do not look at business as a source of money. Look at it as a source of opportunity to bless others and lead them towards a greater appreciation of the truth. If no such opportunity exists, do not put your hands to such a thing.
By focusing your attention on the challenges and issue of others, your own diminish and vanish. The brightness of My Glory overshadows any darkness, therefore be sure not to keep the glory for yourself or you will end up walking in that same darkness.”

The Lord gave me this message which shows that to truly pursue “excellence” in spiritual and personal development, you have to be the “brush” and let Him be the artist!
“Life is a constant cycle of cause and effect. Most of the time you are to busy worrying about the effects rather than the causes says God. The life that you have today is the one that you have designed for yourself says God. I put the brush in your hand initially, but it was you that made the decisions about what to paint.
Then came the time that we were painting together, and look how much better that became. Sure we still went off the canvas a few times when the flesh was permitted to participate, but over all you see a far more pleasant picture then when you were painting by yourself , all alone. Now it is time for you to become the brush, and let me do the painting says the Lord. There is still plenty of room on your canvas and together we will create a masterpiece. That means that there is no time to spend analyzing previous pictures- a wrong color here, too much shadow there- it is a pointless exercise unless you intend to keep on doing your own painting.
It is much easier to start with a clean piece of canvas and see what you truly desire appear on it, than it would be to change something you had previously worked on so that it only appears different
It has to be different from the first stroke. So it is with the things that challenge you. It is necessary for you to be different on a consistent basis in these areas. To plan out a day of activity is one thing, but if those activities are not carried out, what was the point? Excellence begins in the heart, not in the head. It is something that you have to be, before you will consistently do excellent things. If you are not being excellent in your heart it is impossible to maintain a mind set of excellence says God. Make progress today by re visiting the principles of excellence and deciding that you are not going to settle for anything else.You will immediately see an improvement in your performance.”
Whatever path you may be on at present, you can find the answers you seek in God’s Holy scriptures. They have the ultimate keys to true Personal development from a Spiritual perspective

” The wisdom I send upon you must be mingled with your faith and love so that you may perform My will says the Lord.
You are called to maturity and must act accordingly. Shepherd your family and your flock with kindness and authority. Let love always be the first motivator .
The transference of wealth that you hear of is happening right now says the Lord. You must position yourself to participate, using the talents I have vested in you says the Lord. Remember that the flow must be continuous. As it flows forth from you it will flow back to you multiplied .
Your purpose will only fully unfold as you take bold steps forwards. Your overarching vision is to be pleasing in My sight and to perform My will says the Lord.
Better a small step today born out of faith, than a huge leap at some time in the future when it appears that all of the ‘conditions’ are right. Faith in action creates its own conditions says the Lord . Learn to let your faith precede you and you will marvel at the outcome.
Create a list of 4 small steps that you can take in the next 30 days. Take one step per week and develop the habit of making progress towards your step each day, then each half of the day, then each hour of the day. Ultimately every action of the day, every thought , every decision, every instruction will be carrying you towards the outcome of which you are already confident, because you spoke it into existence under My anointing and you proceed towards it under the teaching of My wisdom and you gain support from others through the application of My love.
There it is then faith , love and wisdom, the armory of the true soldier of God. With these weapons applied in your life through My Holy Spirit you cannot fail. Your purpose will become self evident and every day will be filled with joy as the worries of this world will have no room to compete for your attention says the Lord”

” Discipline and obedience are the true keys to the Godly life. The absence of them leads only to the carnal life wherein lies no fruit or reward. It is the natural inclination of the flesh to strive for the reward, yet this should not be the focus.
Seek first the righteousness that results from the actions of the Godly, in that way the rewards come later as a matter of course.
Again I repeat the importance of the formula. This is indeed a hard lesson, but things of eternal consequence are often so. The enemy seeks to blind you to these truths by diminishing their importance with the clutter of this world. Of course I expect you to operate in the worldly realm, why else would I have you abide there for this season? You need to abide within the structure of My plan and all will be added to you.
I have mentioned many times the breakthrough, but you must press through to enter into the fullness and do not shrink back in doubt or fear because you cannot see the fullness of it.
Remember to have a clear picture of your destination, therein lies the importance of the ‘written’ vision. You ask why I do not visit with you so often? The answer is simple, the guest will not arrive if the host is not present, there is no point in visiting an empty place.
My voice is constantly present to guide and direct those that I have chosen. I talk to them all day every day. The question is, are their ears open to hear Me or are their heads filled with the sound of the world?
The closer you get, the clearer the words are.
Through unity comes strength and clarity. My blessings are upon you, be patient and obedient and prosperous.
Focused application of the formula is the final key.You have applied it sporadically and gained some improvement. Now apply it surgically with precision and the flood gates will open says the Lord.
The Lord gave us this ‘formula’ in the beginning of 2003 to strengthen our walk with Him.
WORD
SPIRIT ( ‘unite My Spirit to yourselves every minute of every day’)
CROSS ( Take up your cross – carry it at ALL times.Where do you find the cross? The burden of the cross is in My Word”)
WORD ( now embrace it. Let it DWELL in you and you will become My instruments”)
ACTION ( now that you have entered into the fulness of the Word, can you go into righteous action that will produce seeds of righteousness , that will cause a harvest that God will bless)
SEEDS
HARVEST
BLESSINGS
SEEDS IN GREATER MEASURE ( following the steps in this way will now create abundant seed, and that will lead to rewards
REWARDS ( God looks at what your actions on earth produced that will be of lasting treasure and that will be the only ‘currency’ that He will reward
KINGDOM ( Man’s righteous works by the Spirit of God working through man, will be on the foundation of the Blood of Christ for great rewards in the Kingdom) I Cor 3: 10-20

“You are witnessing the difficulties of discipline. If it had been easy few would have perished in the past, few would have fallen out of obedience with Me and invoked My displeasure. Perseverance is important, pressing through in difficult times is essential. I want to bring you encouragement. Regard not the difficulties and the challenges for they are not yours to overcome anyway. I am the true overcomer .
Constant contact is greatly important, the inflowing of My spirit and the anointing that I have prepared for you will equip you with the wisdom needed to overcome all challenges and to bring forth an abundance of blessings. Now is not the time to shrink back from the edge of the precipice, now is the time to go boldly forward to throw yourself over the edge and to soar like the eagle. The mother of the fledgling pushes him over the edge, confident in his ability to soar. The fledgling has no such knowledge, the only way he could ever know to fly is to be forced into the air in the first place.
Let us continue this journey together, you have the formula, this is your roadmap for the journey, follow it closely and you will not lose your way. What manner of a traveler would set forth on his journey without a map? Remember to have a clear picture of your destination, therein lies the importance of the ‘written’ vision. What manner of a traveler would have a map that leads to nowhere?.
Be joyful and be blessed. Be obedient and be blessed, I am with you on every step of the path shown on the map. Take heed not to stray from the path as there are others lying in wait, even devourers lie there. Fear not as they are easily avoided. The path may be narrow, but it is plain to see for those that have the right map and eyes to watch for it.
There is great purpose, strength and power in the things I communicate to you. Seek to surround yourself with the things of which I speak and do not ever underestimate the things that would be achieved as a result of your obedience. Stretch yourselves and increase you faith as I will increase My faithfulness among you “

“ It is one thing to be mistaken about the meaning of righteous works and getting involved in church programs and law works. However it is a completely different thing to be fully aware of what correct righteous works are and yet not to be doing any. Opportunities abound all around you and they extend far beyond opportunities to sow financial seed.
Have eyes to see and you will surely discover situations were you can make a contribution. Righteous works will overflow from the conviction in your heart. You should not be waiting for certain conditions to be met, before you will be able to ‘do’ something. After all, My laws of giving and receiving dictate that many of the things after which you seek will be released as a consequence of your obedience. This obedience cannot only be related to things that you find comfort in- it must be complete and relate to all situations.
There are so many things for those who look. Many people think that running the race should be solely centered around their local church. This could not be further from the truth. You have the truth in your hands-now you must use it. This is the same situation as the financial seed , unless it is revealed into My universe, it has no value, there can be no harvest,it will not produce new seed , it is rendered useless.
So it is with the seeds of ‘possibility’- the seeds of things you could be doing in My name but you are not doing because you are waiting for certain circumstances to fall into place.
Pay heed to the parable of the talents- not using your seeds is really the same as burying it away. Would you want Me to return and find all of the seed still in your hands? You know the answer to that question. It is one things to see the straw , hay and stubble burn up before your eyes at the judgment seat. Perhaps you may think there is something more righteous in a platform with nothing on it in the first place. Be not deceived…they both end up with losses.
This is an important issue as time passes quickly and each passing day is a lost opportunity which cannot be reclaimed.
It is one things to ask Me to restore that which the locust has eaten, but this concerns that which you yourselves are destroying. Time waits for no man, so start moving. Each day being a celebration of your successes did not apply only to your business life, that is only the generation of financial seeds, which is necessary but not all encompassing. Take heart , you will find nothing more rewarding than this, it will bring joy to you, you will bring joy to others and I will take joy in your obedience says the Lord.”

” As you tell people in business that persistence and consistence are the keys, so it is with achieving righteousness.
Perfect your attitude of gratitude for all good things that you have and this will attract more good things into your lives. The future is bright and the possibilities are endless with My Holy Spirit power guiding your efforts, you are unstoppable. Under your own power you are humanly fallible –the choice would seem obvious, but you still have to make it. Practice proverbs 3 consistently- it is a powerful help for you. Only your obedience can produce the result you are seeking says the Lord “

“ I am refining you says the Lord,I want to complete in you a more perfect work for which you are not yet qualified. The test of abstinence was to show you the weakness of your flesh. If it fails to respond so easily due to the lack of earthly nourishment how much more will it fail for the lack of spiritual nourishment. You must partake of My spirit and My word more regularly than you partake of earthly food and your earthly body will come alive with My spirit and you will have wisdom and discernment and power will be in your hands.
The time is now for you to put into practice the things I have been instructing you on. Be strong and of good courage. Work diligently with wisdom on the tasks before you. Do not be afraid, do not shrink back at this hour, the breakthrough is close by and you must press in.
It is true that the worker is worth his wages, if your vision extends greater than wages then your work and effort must surpass that of the workers. Abundant harvest usually come from abundant seed sowing and lots of diligent effort, rushing to bring in the harvest, so that all will not spoil.
Constantly check the attitude of your heart and your diligence level. Do you recall what I said about working as though I am sitting right by your side, looking over your shoulder, evaluating your efforts? What do you say about the results so far? Would I be nodding My head with approval, would I be patting you on the back? Would I be happy with your production level? What answers does your mouth have for Me?, or is it too filled with stones to speak?
I have given an assignment to each of My sheep. Their first challenge is to recognize the assignment, the second challenge is to begin it, the third is to complete it.
To complete these steps you will need an abundance of these 3 qualities: Obedience, wisdom and love. Each one leads to the other in truly greater measure. Out of your obedience, work at your assignment more diligently than you would for an earthly master . How much more mindful should you be of your Heavenly master? For he that honours Me, gets doubly rewarded. Here and now with comfort and joy in the earthly time, but so much more in the time to come. Keep putting aside all distractions and focus, focus, focus. The only failure for My people comes when they focus their eyes elsewhere other than the path that leads to Me.
Begin each day with new optimism and the knowledge that the Most High God is right there with you ordering your every thought and anointing your tongue and your mind “

The post below was contributed by a blessed and dear friend Rosemarie, who is often led by the Father to rise early and write down teachings from the word or answers to questions for which she has requested help and understanding through prayerful communication. This particular inquiry let to a revelatory message on the subject of “Fruit bearing” which we are blessed to share with you today.
“ I heard your heart last night, asking what is meant by “producing fruit” says the Lord. So much of the time the teachers teach that fruit bearing is ‘winning souls’. For those whose main objective is evangelism, that is all they want to see. It is only a part of the fruit I desire. Go to the Book of Galatians and review My description of the fruit of My Holy Spirit. Chapter 5:22 begins with ” but the fruit of the Holy Spirit” (the work which His presence within, accomplishes) is : Love, Joy/gladness, Peace, Patience (even temper, forbearance), Kindness, Goodness (benevolence) Faithfulness, Meekness, humility, Gentleness, Self control (self-restraint, continence). All of these I call “The Fruit of the Holy Spirit” because only HE can produce these in you. Being led by My Spirit requires the denial of all fleshly, natural tendencies. So, it is not this fruit, that needs to be crushed and wrung out! But this fruit, is attained through the “crushing” of your fleshly tendencies.It is the conscious refusal to give in to the aforementioned “works of the flesh” , that then produces the work of My Spirit in you! Many times it is great affliction that inspires that refusal. Then your light is manifested as a result of the Holy Spirit oil that fills your lamp……( My menorah)
Therefore, do not strive to produce this supernatural fruit, but decide to be rid of the fleshly things that are antagonistic to My Holy Spirit. As your flesh is conquered, the evil tendencies and ‘fruit’ of the flesh, the oil of My Spirit fills your lamp and your light shines brighter and brighter as the darkness closes in. Isaiah 60: 1-2 describes the light that then shines in you and on you. I have called it My Glory. It is then that the nations will be drawn to your light, My Glory.
So, Dear One, I admonish you to shed those things that prevent My glory and allow Me to take them to My Gethsemane , My olive press, producing My fruit. Yes, as you know, it is the trying of your flesh, the testings, the trials, that reveal your motives and natural self-serving ways. Let Me cleanse you of all unrighteousness, as you confess your sins, and watch My fruit appear.”
Word given to Rosemarie L.B. Permission given to publish on In-Amen
