 2018 Will Be the Icing on the Cake! Anne Marie Molster January 31, 2018 As the beginning of 2018 was eminent, I wanted to hear all that the Lord had to share with me. I longed for my time with Him on the morning of New Year’s Eve to continue. I wanted to be reassured of what I have felt rising in my spirit. As this time of transition approached in the natural, I knew many of us would also need to be ready to step out in faith, moving forward in the spirit. It is a time of God’s great movement and we must be ready to transition into the next level of God’s will over our lives. I know that He has great things in store for us. He always does for those that love and serve Him with a loyal and trusting heart.
While praising and worshipping the Lord for all that He brought into fruition over the past year, I distinctly heard Him speak, “This is the year that will be the icing on your cake! You shall have your cake and eat it too!” Although I have felt many things falling into place that will allow me to do His will, there is still a need for His provision in areas that will allow me to do it with ease. Time and resources are of great concern when there is so much that must be done. I know that many others are seeking the icing on the cake that will allow them to experience this ease as well. We would all like to have our cake and finally be able to eat it, too! (see 2 Corinthians 9:8-15). “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT The Lord is saying it is time for us to enjoy all that He has prepared. He has pressed it upon my heart to share the word He spoke to me. “You have spent much of 2017 gathering together in perfect portion what is required within you to carry out My will. You have wisely sought out the most essential components that compliment one another, in order to perfect your identity in Me. When you allow Me to be the main ingredient, the one that overpowers all others, the sweetness of life can be poured out over you in great measure! Everything else is just the icing on the cake. “Finding your true identity in Me could not happen overnight. This recent season was necessary to understand and activate all that I have placed within you. You needed time to rest in my presence before you could rise up before me, ready to do My will. “I knitted you together long ago, before I placed you in your mother’s womb. Just as you grew to fill her womb, you have now grown to fit the mold I created specifically for you. Now it is time to break the mold and enjoy the sweetness of all that I have for you, poured down and running over." “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38NIV “What you did not understand before, you will understand now. What you were unable to see before, you will now see clearly through the lens of My Spirit! What you could not taste before, will now bring delight to you as you taste and see that I am good. You shall experience great joy as you know Me in a much deeper way in the days to come! “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.” Psalm 34:8 NIV “It is time to be seated at the table I have prepared for you. Be ready to have your cake and eat it, too! A great celebration will take place in 2018! It will be the icing on the cake!” My spirit leapt within me as I heard the Lord’s word over 2018. How I long to step out and do His will, to encounter Him at a deeper level, and allow Him to show me new things. I am looking forward to what is waiting in each day. I absolutely believe He has great things in store for me and the many who are ready to move further into their purpose in Him. I pray that this word blesses you and that you witness His goodness in the year ahead. I pray for encounters that take your breath away and for visions of your future that surpass the very dreams you have dreamed for yourself. I pray that you have ample time and abundant resources and that you have a very joyful and blessed new year!

Caroline Norton was a social reformer and successfully campaigned for married women's rights. Through her efforts the Custody of Infants Acts was passed by Parliament in 1839, giving married women legal rights to their own children. She fought to pass the Matrimonial Causes Act in 1857, which gave women the legal right to divorce if they had just cause to do so and also, the Married Women's Property Act in 1870, which allowed women to own property. In 1827, Caroline married George Norton, barrister, M.P. He was very jealous and possessive, given to violent, drunken fits of temper. He was emotionally and physically abusive to Caroline. Abuse of a wife by her husband was legal at that time, so she had no recourse to end it. Caroline did not know her husband well before she married him, and unfortunately found herself trapped in a dangerous marriage. She bore three children, and most of the joy she had in life came from them. Caroline was incredibly creative and intellectually gifted; she was a writer and composer and brought in money through her writing. However, any money a wife earned at that time went to her husband. Matters got worse in the family when George lost his position as a member of parliament. He took it out on his family and made life much worse for Caroline. Through a family connection she had with Lord Melbourne, Britain’s Prime Minister at the time, she was successful in getting her husband a position as a magistrate (lower-level judge). Unfortunately, even though she had been encouraged by her husband to use her connections to advance his career, he became extremely jealous of her relationship with Lord Melbourne. George went so far as to accuse him of having a verbal affair with his wife. In 1836, George Norton took Lord Melbourne to court, accusing him of having an on-going affair with his wife, Caroline. As ladies were not allowed in court, she was not even able to defend herself against the accusations, for in the eyes of the law, Caroline did not exist. She was legally a non-human. Her identity and personage was absorbed into the legal identity of her husband. After Lord Melbourne was cleared of the charges and proven innocent, he was treated as a hero in society. Caroline's reputation, however, was destroyed and bore the shame of her husband's accusation regardless of her innocence and was ostracized by society. Furious over the loss of the court case, George further punished her by taking her children away from her and putting them in the care of his mistress. She was forced out of her own home with no financial means. It was at this time she realized there were no laws to protect her rights and nothing she could do to get her sons back. In the eyes of the law, they were his and she had no right to them. Moreover, she had no legal right to the royalty money she made from her own books; it all went directly to her husband whom she could not legally divorce. After a time of struggle and starvation, she decided to teach herself the law and found that, though she no longer lived with her husband, she could charge him for her food and lodging. When she did, he refused to pay and the creditors, not recognizing her as a legal person, took her husband to court for payment of her bills. With nothing else to lose, Caroline broke the rules and went to court to defend herself and present her case to the court. Once there, her husband ruthlessly brought up the accusations of a verbal affair with Lord Melbourne, which opened the door for her to tell the court of his extramarital affairs and abuse. Needless to say, she won her case. She went on to work with politicians to change the laws against women. Parliament passed laws to protect women's interests in marriage and due to her perseverance, married women were now legally recognized by law. I've often heard complaints about feminists amongst male religious leaders, who've tried to paint the feminist movements as worldly and sinful, but it does not take a difficult study through history to see how terribly untrue that report is. Although some feminist movements have gotten off course at times, most all historical feminists came from very pious backgrounds and strove to help women by simply giving them basic human rights. They are better described as missionaries or patron saints to women of all races, positions and walks of life. Caroline did not want to lead the life she did, but still she is influential because in her most difficult struggles she persevered and won. She won not just for herself, but for every woman and child who would come after her. Queen Elizabeth I Although I'm quite sure you've heard of this next influential woman, I'm not positive you've been made aware of the huge advancement made for women by Queen Elizabeth I. Elizabeth was only three when her mother was put to death by her father because she failed to give him a son. Her father, King Henry the VIII, was the sun, moon and stars to little Elizabeth, yet he had her declared illegitimate and denied royal succession, which, fortunately, he later reversed. While twice narrowly surviving sentences of death, first by her half-brother and then her older half-sister, she lived to succeed her sister, Mary, on the throne in 1558. Intelligent, as well as clever, twenty-five year old Elizabeth shocked her court by refusing to marry. She had seen the trouble of other queens who'd married and refused to have it thrust upon her. It was believed at that time a queen naturally needed a husband to rule with or for her as co-ruler. It seemed utterly impossible for a woman to rule as her own king, as well as queen, but Elizabeth did. Her sister, Mary, was a terrible queen and seemed to prove the theory that women were simply unfit to reign. However, Elizabeth was about to completely negate that theory! While staving off countless attempts to unseat her by her male cousins and then by Pope Pius V in 1570, she ruled as the most successful ruler England ever had. At the beginning of her reign, England was an insignificant country. But by the end, it was a major European power. It is Elizabeth who deserves the credit for laying the foundation for England becoming an extraordinary empire, which reached around the globe. Having done it all with the guidance of the Lord, Elizabeth had truly developed an intimate relationship with God, always seeking His guidance above all others and placing Him first in her heart. As England was surrounded by Catholic nations who, with the Pope's encouragement, tried to destroy her, she established and protected the newly formed Protestant Church of England. While some historians call her lucky, her life-long relationship with God is an established fact. She unquestionably believed God had, indeed, protected her. Elizabeth trusted God and He surrounded her with wise and honest council. She was also greatly esteemed by her subjects, and for that, she thanked God often in prayer. She followed God and He made her great and as He did, He used her reign to break off a great deal of prejudice against women rulers. Elizabeth's life as queen was not at all easy or glamorous as you may suppose. Truly her life was a life of sacrifice and great courage. It was unquestionably difficult for a woman to rule and yet, she did. And she was marvelously successful at it. She is an influential woman if only for the example she has set for all of us even now - we have no excuses. If God has called us to it, with His help we will succeed! Strength Is Beautiful Wisdom and strength do not make you less of a woman. No. Indeed, they are qualities anyone should be proud to display. Our lives, whether small or great, influence those around us and you never know who those women may one day become. You may not even realize the encouragement you bring to other women by the way you live. Stand strong! You never know who's watching. These influential women, of course, are only a few who have become mentors for thousands who sought the Lord. Indeed, they are an army of women - a mighty throng!

Lana Vawser January 26, 2018 I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to me this morning, “I AM REPAYING INJUSTICES.”
The Lord then began to speak to me about this season of SUDDENLY regarding INJUSTICES and that there has begun and will increase in great acceleration, restoration, repayment and blessing in the area where the INJUSTICE took place. I had a vision and I saw the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and He was ROARING over the area of injustice in the lives of believers. Injustices that were caused by the enemy and his evil ways, injustices caused to the body of Christ by others, and injustices caused by circumstances. I saw the Lord roaring over these INJUSTICES and SUDDENLY a tipping point was taking place. The cycles of INJUSTICE that many have been facing, were SUDDENLY put to a stop. They were SUDDENLY halted. They were SUDDENLY ended and a NEW CYCLE of restoration, repayment, blessing and acceleration was being activated. The justice and repayment of God is being seen and will increase with great acceleration in this season. There is a GREAT vindication over those who have faced these injustices. I have been prophesying for a while now that this is a season where many in the body of Christ are going to see great REWARD for standing on truth, for their faithfulness, for their obedience to the Lord, and that is bursting forth now. In these areas of injustice, one thing that really moved my heart was seeing how MOVED the heart of God was by those who IN the injustice whether caused by the enemy, or by others, kept their heart pure. Kept their heart in a place of truth, integrity, forgiveness, and blessing. Those who faced injustice caused by the enemy, they continued to press into the Lord, continued to stand, and continued to stand on the Lord’s truth. Those who faced injustice by others, they blessed those who cursed them, they prayed for those who hurt them, they blessed those who brought great injustice. Friends, the Lord has SEEN. The Lord is fighting for you, and He is bringing great restoration, repayment, blessing and increase. The season has changed. No longer will you be tormented, but now you will know great blessing. The Lord has you covered. I feel strongly for those who have been battling fear, and there have been a lot of fears of “what if’s” – the Lord has you covered. Those “what if’s” of the enemy are lies, they are smoke and mirrors. The Lord has you protected. He is working for you. He is covering you and making all things right. I hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit “All IS well and WILL be well – trust Me.” The increase the Lord is bringing may not come ‘packaged’ as you expect, but take heart, there is great blessing coming to you. There is great vindication of God, and you will be fruitful and the injustice no longer rob from you. Psalm 34:8 and it’s beautiful revelation is being awakened within you and the church: “Drink deeply of the pleasures of God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies He gives to all who turn to hide themselves in Him.” (The Passion Translation) “Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.” (New International Version) I prophesy right now in Jesus name that injustices are being repayed. Cycles of injustice are being broken in Jesus name and new cycles of restoration, repayment, increase and blessing are upon you. I prophesy that you are about to see a powerful demonstration of the vindication and faithfulness of God. “I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!” – Psalm 27:13 – English Standard Version Lana Vawser www.lanavawser.com Lana Vawser is an active member of the Australian Prophetic Council and releases prophetic words for the Body of Christ and nations, and is featured regularly on The Elijah List and in Charisma Magazine.

Face to Face With Jesus Elaine Tavolacci January 25, 2018 Every one of us is able to recall a time when we had experienced a life transforming encounter with Jesus. We could never forget that place of the overwhelming presence of His glory. I believe that 2018 is going to be a year of “face to face” encounters with Jesus.
Several years ago I had a dream. In this dream I began walking down a long corridor. There were doors on each side of the hallway. I opened one door to the room on my right and it was a hospital room. I then continued walking and opened a door on my left that appeared to be a guest room. As I continued walking I heard singing that sounded like a choir but I knew that it was angels. At this point I knew that I was dreaming and I thought to myself “If I listen, I will be able to hear the angels singing”. I walked to the next door and sat down on the floor listening to the angelic voices singing “Worthy is the Lamb”. The presence of God was so intense. I looked up and saw Jesus. There was a line of people waiting to go up to him to give him a hug and a kiss. I watched as each one had their turn. After the last person walked away, Jesus began to walk in my direction. I jumped up and said to him “Wait a minute, you have to give me a hug and a kiss”. As he hugged me, and then gave me a kiss, his anointing flowed into my body. I wouldn’t let him go and I kept saying: Oh my God, I don’t believe it. He just laughed as the fire of his presence radiated through me. As I woke up from that dream, that same anointing was upon me. Within the next few weeks every time I shared that dream, that same anointing was present. I then heard several confirmations of the Shulamite woman in Song of Solomon chapter three. She was in great distress as she searched for her love and couldn’t find him. She got up from her bed, and went out into the streets looking for him. She went up to the watchman asking “Have you seen the one that my heart loves?” When she found her love, she held him and would not let him go. The Holy Spirit is confirming this dream once again. Many of you are going to have visitations from Jesus in the next few months as you search for him with all your heart. The Lord is going to speak to you in dreams as well as face to face encounters. Many unbelievers will also come to know Jesus through personal encounters. Be encouraged and stay in expectation. Song of Solomon 3:1-4 By night on my bed I sought the one I love; I sought him, but I did not find him. “I will rise now,” I said, “And go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek the one I love.” I sought him, but I did not find him. The watchmen who go about the city found me; I said, “Have you seen the one I love?” Scarcely had I passed by them, when I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go, until I had brought him to the house of my mother, and into the chamber of her who conceived me.

Anne Janssens January 24, 2018 Today I heard the Spirit of the Lord say: “You are the king of the jungle so why are you hiding in the den?”
I was reminded of Elijah, He knew who his God was but when that woman Jezebel went after the prophets of God on a murderous rampage, Elijah cowered in fear and like a coward, he headed for the hills and hid in a cave. (1 Kings 19-20) The Lord also reminded me of a dream where I saw people hibernating in a cave, deep within the belly of a mountain. In my dream I was thinking that these people were like Jonah who was swallowed up by the big fish (Jonah 1:17). Than after 3 days and 3 nights this is what happened “So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.” (Jonah 1:10). In my dream I felt the ground begin to shake and the voice of the Lord bellowed “Come out of your cave! If you do not leave on your own volition, I will cause the mountain to shake and vomit you out of its belly!” This is what I hear the Lord saying to those there are hiding in this hour: Why have you been hiding in the den? What caused you to go into hiding? Is it because of unmet needs or unfulfilled expectations that you lost the will to keep trying? Or is it because you grew tired and weary and lost the passion to see your dreams come to fruition? Could it be that you gave up and threw in the towel either because you were told, or you felt, that you were unqualified, not capable or not educated enough to carry such important tasks that were presented to you? Maybe you’ve never been given a break by the leaders that were placed over you, and out of their own insecurities and fears, they have failed to facilitate and encourage you along in your calling? I hear the Lord saying: It is “I” who calls you and qualifies you for the task at hand. It is “I” who equips you and trains your hands for battle. It is “I” who gives you the talents and abilities to do even the things that may seem impossible to you. It is “I” who baptizes you with the Holy Spirit and with Fire. My name is KING. I am the King of kings and I’m calling all of you, kings and queens in the land where I have called and positioned you, ARISE from your slumber, and come out of your dens. I have called you and anointed you and made you an Ambassador of My Kingdom in this world. ARISE and come out of your caves or else I will cause the ground to shake and vomit you out its belly! Lions and Lionesses, it’s time to ARISE and shake the dust off of you and head for the HIGH PLACES for the people of the earth is waiting for the ROAR of the Lion of Judah to be trumpeted THROUGH you. You have been quiet for too long and the people are desperate for your SOUND to manifest. The enemy has drawn near because he is a creature of the darkness and whilst you were sleeping, he’s been stealing the fruits of the harvest. But today, call forth a gathering and let your ROAR resound across the land. It’s time to evict the squatters of the land. It’s time to TAKE THE LAND! RESIST the enemy in the power of My name, says the Lord. “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) As ROARS of the Lions and Lionesses penetrated the atmosphere, I saw the critters that were feasting on the fruits in the harvest field scramming away in different directions in FEAR. The same weapon (fear) the enemy used against you is being used against him in this hour as a result of the ROAR of the Lions and Lionesses. “The Lord will cause your enemies that rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.” (Deuteronomy 28:7) “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him. (Isaiah 59:19) So ROAR, you Lions and Lionesses of His tribe! Let your SOUND resound. The standard of the Holy Spirit has been raised against your enemies. Prepare to collect the spoils for the King of all kings has already prevailed! “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed” (Revelation 5:5) Anne Janssens SIGN UP TO RECEIVE OUR FREE EMAIL MESSAGES from God's powerfully anointed women all over the world at WomenofImpactMinistries.com CLICK HERE to submit an article.

April Simons January 5, 2018 Do you ever feel like when you need God’s help the most, it seems He’s no where to be found? You just can’t feel His presence? I know I have. These are the times we must become like David, in the Bible, and encourage ourselves. We have to remind ourselves that God is aware of everything we are going through and He is working things out on our behalf. It may feel like He’s on the other side of heaven, but the reality is He listens the split second you call out to Him. (Psalm 4:3) He’s a genuine Father that cares about His children.
I remember like it was yesterday. I was on the pitcher’s mound and our team was in the final game of playoffs. Whoever won this game would win the championship. Two people were on base. The girl that stepped up to the plate looked like, first of all, she was going to hurt me and secondly, she was going to hit the ball into the next county. Our coach motioned to the outfield to move back—way back. Talk about pressure! The count was full. It was up to me to pitch a ball that would hopefully strike her out. The moments were intense. Standing there, I listened as the crowd cheered HER on. Not only that, they were shouting a few derogatory remarks about me! “She can’t do it…don’t worry about her…You got it easy.” It seemed as though everyone was on her side. As I got in position to pitch, the crowd became silent. It was almost an eerie silence. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen. As I was focusing on the catcher, something caught my eye. Just above the umpire's head, behind the fence, I saw someone stand up...it was my dad. There he was with his little 5'7" self, dressed in his baseball cap and shorts with the whitest legs you've ever seen (by which I was briefly blinded, Ha!) In the midst of the silence, with all of his might he yelled out, “Come on April...YOU CAN DO IT...this will be the WINNING strike!" I can’t begin to tell you what that did for me. That was my dad, who I absolutely adored. Countless hours he had worked with me to be the best I could be at pitching. If anybody knew what I had in me, it was Daddy. His words of encouragement gave me a new confidence. After all, if Daddy said I can do it, then I must be able to do it! Well, we did it! Strike went in and we won. What a great day that was for our team. Victory was sweet! How often do we go through difficulties in life and feel like we’re all alone? Sometimes it feels as though everyone is cheering for the “other” side. It appears that all odds are against us. And if that isn't enough, the giants we are facing seem like they are in a league of their own. There’s a wonderful scripture found in Romans 8:34 that says, The One who died for us…is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. I love that scripture. It promises me that no matter how overwhelmed, under-qualified and all alone I might feel, God is cheering me on. What an incredible feeling. Think about it—The Creator of heaven and earth is on your side! You know why? Because He knows what’s in you. He knows what you’re made of. After all, He created you in His image. That means you are not an accident, you are not a second thought and you are not a failure. God absolutely believes in you. He knows with His help you can make it through anything. I know it’s hard sometimes when you’ve been hurt in life. I’ve encountered countless people who have been abandoned and rejected; whether by a spouse, close friend or family member. Because of it, a guard has gone up in their lives—a wall, if you will. A wall that says, You can’t get too close, because you might leave me. And I just can’t go through that hurt again. Unfortunately, there’s no promise that you won’t be hurt again by people. But there is definitely an eternal promise that God Almighty will always be there for you. He’s that friend that sticks closer than a brother and an ever-present Help in time of need. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 4:1-God is looking over your shoulder. In other words, God has your back. He’s looking out for you. You may be facing strong opposition right now. Let me encourage you to keep the faith. The difficult times of life are not the times to question God and wonder if He’s there. Instead, they are times to say, “God, I trust in You and I depend on Your faithfulness. I know You will see me through this difficult time.” The tough and challenging times are when God sees what we are made of. You see, tough times are training times. God wants us to get to the place where we’re focusing on the Mountain-Mover and not the mountain. He wants us to “tune out” the naysayers and “turn up” what His Word is saying. Let me encourage you, don’t let what you are currently facing paralyze you. It may seem like it’s going to get the best of you, but you simply have to give it to God and trust that He will work everything out. Everything around you might be saying, “There’s no way you’re getting through this” but God’s says, He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all you could ever ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20) DON’T LET WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY FACING PARALYZE YOU. 1 Peter 4:12&13 tells us, When life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead, be glad…this is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner. In other words, Hang in there! THIS could be the day you see your breakthrough. On top of that, you’re becoming stronger with each battle you face. Maybe you’re feeling the pressure right now. Maybe you’re on that pitcher’s mound. Hey, it’s ok. Take a deep breath. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Now…look beyond what’s staring you in the face. Little bit higher. Ah, there He is. Listen…I think you might hear Him saying, “Come on! You can do it! This is the strike that is going to bring you the victory!” April Simons www.aprilsimons.com SIGN UP TO RECEIVE OUR FREE EMAIL MESSAGES from God's powerfully anointed women all over the world at WomenofImpactMinistries.com CLICK HERE to submit an article.

A Love Letter from Jesus to the Expectant Dannette Garza January 4, 2018 “I will do just what I said, wait expectantly, for me to manifest. I will bring something new, streams to make your desert bloom. There is a sound of an abundance of rain, to satisfy your longing and fill your hunger with my goodness. What I have promised will rise up, keep praying until you see it. Like ripples that multiply in the water, my blessings have you surrounded.
"I send out my Word to melt the ice and snow, to give you double comfort from the warfare. Your faith is growing into a flurry, the anticipation is fluttering in your spirit. I cause my wind to blow and the waters to flow, the stormy wind fulfilling my orders. The humble will be beautified with my presence. As the rain comes down from Heaven, to water the earth and make the plants flourish, so will my word perform the purpose that I sent it. "Celebrate, go up and eat and drink, for there is a sound of an abundance of rain. Keep looking, watching for me, as the watchman waits for the morning. My hand is open to satisfy the desires of your heart, I am abounding in love, a most generous giver. You have a good inheritance. "Come into the deep of my heart, like a cruise ship setting sail for the open seas. Set your navigation on the expectation of fulfillment. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but you will lack no good thing. You are crowned with my goodness, upon your forward paths drip an abundance. "Let go of what was and let me be your umbrella, my presence is starting to flood. My wind is stirring to lift you up. Feel the raindrops on your face. Those who look to me are radiant, their faces are never ashamed. Hold on tight, this is going to be exciting. "Like the rain, suddenly you will see it. I am the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and Omega. Your valley of weeping will be transformed into pools of blessings. The dry places of famine will absorb the rain of my love with a flood of provision.There is no pain that you suffer, that I have not provided beauty for. I will comfort your wounds and bandage your pain. Abandon yourself in my loving arms, trust in my will. "Like water that leaps from a waterfall, let yourself be overcome by my presence. Have faith in who I am for you, have faith in my plans. Wait for me, watchfully, ever believing in my Word. The rain is starting to pour, like tears of love that stream down my cheeks. You will be forever wrecked, completely transformed by the crashing waves of my Love flooding your body and soul.” Dannette Garza www.diamondsfromthedust.com Dannette is an author and prophetic writer, creating prophetic love letters through the romantic dance with King Jesus.

Dawn Baker January 2, 2018 Recently while in my garden, God said, “You don’t think I’m going to let ‘so and so’ trump ME, do you?” “So and so” was a multi-millionaire relationship I’d walked away from. Hearing God say this got my attention. Then He said, “I want you to be a good receiver.” Within days I had friends call saying, “we’ve decided to bring Christmas to you”. Wow! I hadn’t felt like decorating but knowing my friends have 3 young daughters, (who’d agreed to give up their Christmas to bring me Christmas), I wanted to be sure everything was extra special.
Christmas Day, my friends arrived welcomed by the aroma of spiced cider in the crock pot, turkey in the oven, and all the preparation to insure a memorable, Norman Rockwell like, Christmas. The day was absolutely wonderful, right down to ringing in a little Christmas on the piano. Then, my friends said, “well, are you ready to open presents” and under the tree were beautifully wrapped gifts for me! Each gift was so thoughtful, so special, even a beautiful, one-of-a-kind gift that I know was a labor of love. I was speechless. Then I was handed an envelope and told they’d shared with someone else how they, as a family, decided to give their Christmas to me and that person wanted to sow into me as well. My eyes welled with tears, my voice quivered, “they don’t even know me”…… In the envelope was cash, a lot of cash! A complete stranger was sowing into me! They may never meet me but now they’ll be credited by God for sowing this seed. When I had written the word, “It’s The Most Wonderful Season of ALL: Full of PRESENCE!”, little did I know it was being unwrapped right before my eyes, right down to the detail of me receiving ‘gifts from the heart, one size fits all that don’t wear out’! Many, like me, have walked a rough road, full of heartache and pain; but God has gone before us, preparing not only our way but preparing us to inherit His Promises. There are blessings attached to obedience and GOD KEEPS HIS WORD! We are entering a New Season, (our promised land), where God keeps His promises. We’ve never been this way before. What He’s doing is brand new, not an old thing done a new way but a totally NEW thing. We will reap, not only where we’ve sown, but where we haven’t sown. Jesus says, “I sent you to harvest where you didn't plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.” John 4:38 As I’ve sat soaking all of this in, so grateful for His presence in my life, I see throngs of people emerging, all over the world, from every walk of life, prepared to possess territory and I hear music; they’re singing, “I’m coming out, I want the world to know, got to let it show”! It’s the song by Diana Ross. Part of this song says, “I'm spreading love, There's no need to fear, And I just feel so glad, Every time I hear; I'm coming out, I want the world to know, Got to let it show”. Friends, We are leaving the wilderness! Yes, we’ve seen God move, we’ve witnessed miracles; but now, it’s time to move into ALL that we’ve been prepared for. There are blessings of obedience. God has lead us to this place He’s prepared for us, the land of Promises Fulfilled! It’s time to possess our promised land. This land is watched over by God Himself. This is BY GOD, FOR GOD and ALL ABOUT GOD and it’s going to be REALLY, REALLY GOOD! “For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your foot like a vegetable garden. “But the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning even to the end of the year.” Deuteronomy 11:10-12 Dawn Baker Dawn Baker is a Sold Out Warrior-Worshiper. Born and raised in Canada, Dawn met Jesus at 7 yrs old believing she’d discovered the biggest secret ever! Soon thereafter religion tried fitting her into molds but she just didn’t fit; her very real and personal encounter with Jesus changed her heart forever. Jesus was NEVER a "get out of hell free" card; He was all consuming Love to walk and talk with every day! Dawn has a story; a life woven with great loss, deep pain, abuse, cold and hunger BUT also the FAITHFULNESS of the God she met at 7. Today she owns a national physician recruiting company with a passion that burns in her, just like it did at 7 yrs old, that everyone will meet and KNOW HER JESUS.
