What a great morning to wake up to when you hear God say YES!

I was awakened this great Sunday morning to pray and worship, but right as I began to pray, God interjected me to speak. At first, I thought it was my flesh trying to get me to not finish my routine prayer time, but no it wasn't me; it was the Lord himself saying, stop, look, and listen! Seriously, it was the old school stop, look and listen! What do you think I did? I STOPPED!

Whenever the Lord speaks, we should all abandon ourselves and open up our entire being unto Him. As I stopped to hear what God was saying to me, I was overtaken by the sudden word of encouragement. The first thing the Lord asked me to do was read Psalms 65. Let's read it together because whenever God gives you something, it is not just for you, it is for the body of Christ.

Psalms 65, (KJV), Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

Wow, saints! After reading verses 1-4, I was blown away, and I hadn't even read the rest of the verses yet! Okay, let's finish reading what God gave unto me to share with you, the body of Christ...continuing from vs 5, by terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Oh saints, I am loving this word from God and how timely it is...there have been terrible things happening in my life, as well as many of you, and I am so glad God is with you and me; God answers when people have condemned you and turned away. We are not too far off for God to reach us and turn our situation, issues, and circumstances around! Glory to God and bless His holy name!! No man can come against the strength of God's open doors for us. When God girds us with His kind of power, the enemy working through people will not prosper. People may come against you, but no weapon formed shall prosper.

Isaiah 54:17,

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

God is calling us to rejoice in the morning and evening!! Psalms 65:8.

Saint's this is good news! God is for us and who can stand against the hand of the Lord? No one can and no one will,: therefore, believe and receive the word of the Lord which is tried and true. The only safe ground to stand on is the truth. What truth? The word of God!! There are a lot of things that may be true, but there is only one truth, and that is the word of God. Death, Hell, and the Grave have been defeated, and the keys have been taken and given unto us, through Christ Jesus!! Amen

Revelation 1:18,

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Matthew 16:19,

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

But there is more great news, Jesus gave the keys to us!! Wow! Saints this means we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. Amen

Philippians 4:13,

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Saints, are the storms of life blowing on you and knocking things down?

Matthew 14:30 - 32, but when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Is your sea rocky right now? Do not fear the storm, give it to the Lord who calms the seas! Only be courageous and faithful saints...speak to that mountain and command it to be cast into the sea! We have to get out of the boat and walk on the water in faith, knowing Jesus got us!

With the truth, we can agree with God's YES to our No's!! Our job is to act in faith and line up our yes with God's YES!

How? Say this: Father God, what is your Yes to my No's that I may agree with your YES for me and all my areas in my life and family?

We must spend quiet time with a pen and paper. Be still and know he is God:

Psalms 4:4,

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Psalms 46:10,

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalms 84:4,

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Let us continue to read Psalms 65 together, we are on vs 9, thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

God is so amazing!! He will visit us right here on this earth, right where we are...many have said, God is in heaven, and we are here as if some gulf was between us, but nothing could be further from the truth. Remember, the truth is the only safe ground to stand on, and we just read that God will visit us in the earth.

Okay, God visits with us on the earth, but why is he visiting His people? Vs 9 tells us that God will water the earth with His river, which is full of water...saints that means plenteous!! In this river full of water, God will provide us with what we have need of, and He will water our borders abundantly. He softens with His showers and blesses us with a springing forth! Saints, what season are we in? SPRING! Guess what, God is doing a suddenly YES turn around for His people!! How do we know this? He just said it in His word of TRUTH! Whenever something springs forth, it is sudden!

I am super excited in anticipation of the glory of God being manifested in the spirit of YES for us this spring!! Get ready saints, because whenever God blesses in abundance, it will overtake us and overflow us so much, that we will have to give some away. Why? So that everyone gets blessed!

There is a drawback from receiving this sudden spring blessing...you have to have a cheerful heart that operates in the spirit of love and giving! God is not going to give His spring forth blessing to those who are selfish.

I pray that you did stay obedient when God told you to sow into someone or what they were doing. It amazes me when a person says, "God told me to give you this", but things don't go according to the way we thought it should go, not realizing it was God's hand changing things and turning them around to shake off the bad fruit. So, now you that said you heard from God to sow, have now decided that you are not going to obey God and hold back the blessings. It is not for us to decide to not do what God said to do, because you in your mindset couldn't see the big outcome or the future of what God is doing through the person He told you to bless.

Well guess what, you killed your seed, and while you decided not give, you became a hindrance, and now that God is saying YES to that very person you turned your back on, and now that He is springing them forth suddenly, you will not prosper from the overflow because you decided not to obey and sow.

Remember when God sent Elijah to the tree by the brook? Elijah was a great anointed prophet, but God saw fit to send him to a tree to sleep by a brook. God sent nasty Ravens to feed Elijah meat. Can you imagine being anointed and homeless? I can; been there and done that, plus scratched my head on how could I be so anointed, a seer, and a prophetess with a right now word and be homeless??? But God has His way to take you through the wilderness and bring you out on top!

God dried up the brook and told the Ravens not to come anymore. Why? God had a bigger plan for Elijah and a poor single mom. God told Elijah to go to the widow woman. Why would God send you from homeless to poverty? God will always have a greater plan in mind, even when we can't see it or it just doesn't make any sense. Elijah, in obedience (a must), went to the women and said, make me a cake. The women said, she didn't have but a little and was going to make it for her and her son and die! She had given up hope, but God sent her hope. The key to receive will come through your agreement to act in obedience. The widow women obeyed the man of God. He told her to go get vessels...and God began to give a sudden, spring forward river blessing!!

Oil began to pour out and didn't stop until there were no more vessels!!

Now here is the hidden mystery in this: the vessels represented us! We are the vessels that God wants to pour His oil in. Why? To anoint us to be girded in power! We just read this in Psalms 65:6.

What about Simon, since God is speaking to us about water, here is another water truth. Simon had toiled all night and caught nothing! I felt like this over this past season and coming up empty after doing all I could do. Anyone ever felt like this? Sure you did, and God heard us, as we have read in Psalms 65:2.

Luke 5:5,

And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

Jesus asked Simon to cast his net on the other side. Why? Jesus had already commanded the fish to come, but he needed to see Simon's obedience in a hopeless situation. Well, as you may know, the fish filled the net to an overflow and the nets began to break. Simon had to call his friends to help.

And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

Luke 5:6-10,

And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

Saints, God is speaking loud and clear to us!! We have to align ourselves in agreement with His YES, just like Simon Peter did, and he caught a blessing so big that he was blessed to be a blessing!

Did you see one important thing in verse 10, when Jesus said fear not? We can't fear the blessing, because the blessings of God are overwhelming saints. We have to stay close to His heart and keep ourselves open to receive the abundant blessings and be able to release some of it to others. Amen. After being in a wilderness, a spring forth sudden blessing might be hard to handle, but always remember we can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens us.

OK let's finish Psalms 65, we left off at verse 11, thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

Saints, God is giving us a whole year of blessings! Everywhere our footsteps, we shall possess the land. The word of truth just said, thy paths drop fatness! I pray you have opened your heart by now, in order to position ourselves to receive the abundant blessings of God.

Joshua 1:3,

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

Saints, let us get to stepping out in faith because without faith it is impossible to please God.

Hebrews 11:6,

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Did you see another important key to the YES suddenly spring blessings? Verse 16 just said He rewards them that diligently seek him! Saints, we must seek His face in prayer and worship. God inhabits the praises of his people.

Psalms 22:3,

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Some might foolishly say, well that was for them back then...that is not a truth. The word of God says, he is no respecter of persons. Saints, what he did for one, He will do for others. God is a multiplier and He will give to all of us. If only though would believe! It is not unto them that understand, but unto them, that believe. Amen

Saints, it doesn't matter where you are in life or what you have been through. God will meet you right in your dry desert. There is nothing hidden from our God. He knows your suffering, He knows! We suffer from the sufferings of Christ; therefore, we keep going and say, Lord your will be done...this is a powerful yes agreement. Jesus in the garden prayed that God's will be done, but like us, He wanted the hard bitter cup to pass from him. Jesus sweated blood out of his pores, and medically when this kind of stress comes on a person, they can pop blood vessels and bleed out of their pores. I know I have been though some tremendous times where I thought I would have ended it all, but I kept myself RUNNING to the altar in prayer and worship. As the old saints would often say, 'If it had not been for the Lord on my side, where would I be?'

Moses was in the wilderness and had run out of food and water, but he made it to the well, lead by the spirit of God, because he had no clue where he was going, but God! Moses faints at the water, and saints it is always at the water where things are birthed forth, where our thirst is quenched. Why did God lead Moses to the water? He had a woman that would come by the well at a certain time of the day. God purposed for Moses to be there to be watered like a dry garden whose well springs never run out. Oh yes saints, God had a divine purpose for making this royal priesthood suffer thirst!

The woman arrives and finds Moses fainted. She gives him water from the well and restores him, feeds him and takes him to the father who welcomes him into the family. Wow! God may draw you away from a high family position, drop you low and take you through a wilderness, only to put you in a new family to become a deliverer!! Deliver who? God's people out of bondage! Saints, are any of you in bondage? Get ready for God to put you right in front of the person that He has anointed to help push you forward, and into your sudden spring river of blessings!! Wow!

Saints, if you are not encouraged and excited by now, please let someone lay hands on you and awaken you!!

It is time to praise our God, while we wait on Him to push us forward this spring. Amen

Psalms 149:3,

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

Now, let us wrap it up with verses 12-13, they drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

Wait a minute! This is what happened to Moses! Wow! Well guess what, this is what is happening to us too!

Saints, let us start shouting the victory of triumph to our God!!

I leave you with this note: after he has tired me, I shall come forth as pure gold. Guess where the pure gold comes from? Pure gold was found in one of the rivers flowing out of Eden, the river Pishon. Genesis 2:11. Once again, God is speaking from His water unto us. Guess where else pure gold is found? The streets of heaven are pure gold, they are clear and almost transparent. The gold we see in the earth is solid because it has impurities, but when it is tried in the fire it is almost clear!! Wow, saints!

God bless you all,
