April 29, 2022. God of the Breakthrough
“I AM the God who breaks through. I AM the God you can depend on, wait upon, and rest in. I will not let you down or disappoint you. To you who has been waiting on me to move — waiting and longing for that breakthrough moment — I am asking you to trust in my timing. Wait on My Plans and know that I AM working even when you can not see it.
Like Daniel who prayed on the first day, I sent my messenger to him but he was held up. It was his prayers that helped the victory come forth. So I AM asking you to keep believing that I AM working. Keep praying and know that I AM bringing the breakthrough for you.”
Romans 8:28 (NIV) “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
April 28, 2022. War Over the Mind
“I AM coming to set you free from the lies of the enemy which have become your truth and reality. I AM coming to free you from lies that people have spoken over you which have become your reality. No more will these lies hold you back and bring limitations to you, and who you see me as. I AM breaking you free from these lies and speaking my truth over you. I AM waging war over your mind and where the enemy wants to bring deception and lies to hold you back, I silence them today over your life, and speak My Truth into you today.”
Activation : Repent for believing lies about yourself and ask God to forgive you for living your life based on these lies. Forgive anyone who has contributed to you believing these lies, including yourself.
Now break your agreement with them and ask God what truth he is speaking over you. Now write this down and speak it out over yourself. Speak this out every day until it becomes your truth, rooted so deeply within you, that you can’t even remember the lies.
John 8:32 (NIV) “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 1:13 NIV “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”
April 27, 2022. The Way, The Truth, & The Life
“I AM the way, the truth and the life. To you who feels lost, uncertain of where life is taking you or what the next step is, come to me, because I AM The Way.
To you who hears all the noise of the world, teaching you one thing and then another, who is unsure of what My Word says, and Who is a Voice you trust: come to Me. I AM The Truth.
To you who is sick, who lacks a love for life, to you who feels worn down by long term pain or sickness, and where your mind has been a battle: come to me. I AM The Life.
I AM coming to reveal myself as The Way, Truth, and Life to set you free and pull you into the places I have prepared for you.”
John 14:6 (NIV) “Jesus answered, “I AM The Way and The Truth and The Life. No one comes to The Father except through me.””
April 26, 2022. Fight for Truth
“I AM releasing a warrior’s fight in and through you at this time. Be ready for the fight that is at hand; it is a fight for truth, for righteousness, and for holiness. This is not the time to hide away or to give in to temptation. It is fight time! Fight for your life, for your families, and for those who you know need the truth of God to speak louder than any false ‘truth’ of the earth.
How do you overcome and have victory? By the blood of the lamb, the word of our testimony, and not loving our lives even unto death. This verse is your battle plan; it is where victory will come from in this season.”
Revelation 12: 11 (NIV) “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
1 John 4:6 (NIV) “We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”
April 25, 2022. Stand Ready
“For too long you have been pulled into different places and in different directions. The things of life have happened to you rather than you moving through life with the knowledge and understanding of what heaven is doing in your life. Now is the time to pull off the things which hold you in the static places.
It’s time to stand ready; ready for war; ready for blessing; ready to hear my voice and to move in time with heaven. Life is not overwhelming when you stand ready and work in perfect partnership with Me. Come and take a stand and see what I see. I activate you to be My Warrior, My Voice, and to reveal My Love.”
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NIV) “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Luke 12:32-34 (NIV) “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
April 22, 2022. Acclimatise
“It is time to take stock, be fed, and be refreshed for the journey ahead of you is great. You are turning a corner and entering into a new season of radical surrender.
You are going to climb to a higher level than you have before in your journey with Me and there is a need to acclimatise and be strengthened. There is fresh provision for you as you ascend. I will feed, guide, and nourish you by My Word. I will counsel you and watch over you.”
1 Kings 19: 5-8 (NKJV) “Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of The LORD came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.”
Psalm 119: 105 (ESV) “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Psalm 24: 3-5 (NKJV) “Who may ascend into the hill of The LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from The LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.”
April 21, 2022. The Power In The Name
“My Name is higher than all other names. My Name is a name that causes the enemy to shake and tremble. It is a name that can heal the sick and raise the dead; in this Name, you are saved, set free and delivered. You have known My Name, used My Name, and been aware of My Name. At this time, however, I AM calling you to draw close and know the possessor of The Name. I AM calling you into great intimacy with My Son, Jesus. To see Him in Glory, to know His Heart, emotions, and understand who He is in friendship, in relation, as well as in His Power. Draw near to Him. Find Him and you will find that in the partnership of friendship you are able to do even more than you thought was possible.”
John 15:15 (NIV) “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”
April 20, 2022. History
“I The LORD am worthy of all praise, glory, and adoration! Tell the generations about My Greatness and acts of great power! Do not keep your stories and testimonies to yourself; they are meant to be shared and expounded upon! The name Yahweh is to be passed down through all generations, just as a tiered fountain pours water from one basin into the next. My Story is woven throughout the tapestry of history, creating an extravagant love story that threads through the family trees of the world. It’s time to release what is burning deeply within your heart. Be strong and courageous to tell others about Me because there are many who are perishing who need to hear what you have to say. Do not be afraid to speak up with boldness, proclaiming the gospel message with demonstrations of love and power. Do not be muzzled again by fear but break free so you can proclaim who I AM to the earth!”
Activation : Repent for any partnership you’ve made with fear and silence. Renounce it and break it off of your life. Then ask The LORD to fill you back up with perfect love and boldness so you can start speaking up!
Psalm 145:3-4 (NIV) “Great is The LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.”
April 19, 2022. Joy Is Your Strength
It’s OK to laugh! Amid very intense times on the earth, it’s important to remember that My Joy is your strength! My laughter shifts atmospheres and releases victory into nations. The enemy would like to bring a cloak of heaviness over the world to shroud it in depression, deception, and darkness. But heavenly laughter will break the yoke of despair and replace it with holy garments of praise.
Begin to sing in The Spirit with songs of hope and deliverance, for My brilliant Light will soon pierce the darkness and sweep away the mourning that has laid heavily upon My People.
Lift your hands high and dance with jubilant triumph! Praise Me during your struggles, and when the darkness seems tangible, raise your voice! For you will be strengthened and uplifted to a heavenly place where you will crush the enemy underfoot, going out in complete victory!
Activation : The LORD directs us to worship when we feel heavily burdened. It’s time to turn on the worship and get up and dance, sing, clap, laugh, and smile! Shift the atmosphere into a place of supernatural joy and strength!
Nehemiah 8:10b (NIV) “This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of The LORD is your strength.”
Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) “To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that The LORD has planted for his own glory.”
April 18, 2022. Rest In My Presence
“Take a moment to be still and rest in My Presence. Breathe deeply and allow My Peace to consume your heart. This is a whirlwind season where the enemy wants to shift your focus off what is important, attempting to distract you from reaching your goals. He will try to throw a million little things your way that will have you reaching, grabbing, and striving for some sense of order amidst the chaos. But if you will take the time to set aside the many interruptions of your day and sit in silence before Me, I will act as a shield to deflect the intense number of tasks coming your way. The enemy would like to pull you back into a hectic, stressful schedule like you had prior to Covid, but I AM inviting you into the rhythms of My Rest and Grace. Step away from Chronos time (the world’s chronological order of time) into My Kairos moment (the right or opportune moment). In this place of stillness your soul will find rest, helping you walk in the proper timings of Heaven.”
Psalm 46:10 (ESV) “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Matthew 11:28-29 (NIV) “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
April 15, 2022. New Sounds
“I AM releasing new sounds, new language, and key connectors in The Spirit to merge the praise of your lips and the worship of your heart with The Sounds of Heaven. As your praise ascends to My Throne, it unlocks and brings release and breakthrough in various situations in your life.
Expect to see miracles released! Expect to see signs and wonders break forth among you in corporate gatherings. My Arm is not so short that it cannot save. I AM standing here with you. Look in The Spirit and see Heaven’s Armies positioned around you.
Allow yourself to be caught up in the praise and adoration of My Son and release that fresh flow in praise and worship, singing in the spirit unto the praise of My Name. I will enable you to rise higher in praise and I will pour in the language of Heaven.
Be still (be at peace/ Shalom!) and look to Me — I AM your God and I will be exalted among you.”
Activation : Ask The LORD for a fresh infilling of The Holy Spirit and begin to release your praise to Him, singing known songs of praise and your own spontaneous new songs of praise, in your own language and in tongues. If you have not already been filled with The Holy Spirit and would like to be, ask The LORD to fill you with The Holy Spirit and ask Him for the gift of tongues.
Psalm 149:1 (NKJV) “Praise The LORD! Sing to The LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of saints.”
Ephesians 5:18-19 (BSB) “… Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to The LORD…”
Psalm 149:6 (NKJV) “Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand…”
April 14. 2022. Be Strong
“Do not throw away your confidence. Don’t return to old battles that you have already won in your life, for such are the hindrances blocking My Work in your families, communities and larger regions.
Think of those matters you replay in your mind which I have instructed you to leave at the foot of Jesus’ Cross. Let go of previous successes as well as what you see as failures. I AM new every morning.
I have great things for you to mature into, and the message given to Joshua to drive out the enemies before Israel, also applies to you. Be strong in your hearts and minds to crucify those things that you know hold you back.
Be in My Timing for your life through obedience. I never go backwards.
Do not be fooled, My People, when the ‘thorns in your side’ keep hurting. Recognise old battles and once and forever put them behind you.”
Application : Ask God where he wants you to change the repeat message in your heart and mind of the past. Seek His healing for the things affecting these memories. Do not leave it there, instead, ask Him for a strategy to grow into maturity.
Numbers 33:55 (NIVUK) “But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your side. They will give you trouble in the land where you live.”
Hebrews 10:35 (NIVUK) “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.”
April 13, 2022. Heart Condition
The LORD asks, “Do you have a heart condition? Give me an honest appraisal. What is the state of your heart? You must guard your heart. Your future depends on it.
Become skilled in noticing how you respond to things and how I respond to similar things. We are not the same.
I AM your teacher and it is I who will show you how to be pure in heart. I build steadfastness and security in you, deep inside, so you only have the fear of me and not the fear of bad news. I monitor the hearts of all and know all. Don’t hide any longer from my Spirit. Face Me, heart to heart, and let Me take each heartache that troubles you; I AM the only true healer.
Come, rest a while, and ask Me where your heart needs reconditioning and strengthening.”
Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”
Psalm 112:7-8 (NIVUK) “They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in The LORD. Their hearts a re secure, they will have no fears; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.”
April 12, 2022. The Potter and the Clay
“Do you feel the touch of My Hand upon your heart? Are you willing to allow Me to mould and fashion you according to My design and purpose? Are you willing to lay your life down, to give up your rights, and surrender your will to Mine? Will you bow down to worship and give your life as a living sacrifice?
Upon the Potter’s wheel, your life does spin.
Upheld, moved, and contoured; fashioned from within.
Neither rhyme nor reason at times you do perceive,
But in My Love and in My Wisdom, your shape is Mine to give.
A vessel fit for purpose,
Consecrated, integral and strong.
Brimming with potential,
That you may release My Kingdom sound and song.
Allow the water of My Word to wash you, as my Spirit moves upon your life, to fashion and mould you into the design of My Will.”
Jeremiah 18:1-6 (NIV) “This is the word that came to Jeremiah from The LORD: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of The LORD came to me. He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares The LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.”
Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Isaiah 64:8 “Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”
Romans 9:21 “Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?”
April 11, 2022. Multifaceted
“I AM a multifaceted God! You know what you have experienced of who I AM in past seasons, and this is precious to you. But now I AM calling you onwards. Come higher, further, and deeper, and plumb the depths of who I AM. Further facets of My Character will be illuminated to you in your daily walk with Me. Expect fresh revelation and experiential knowledge and understanding of Who I AM for you now, in this season.
See!
I AM the God of the impossible,
I AM the God of wonders,
I AM the God of the miraculous,
I AM the God who hears and sees,
I AM the God of more than enough,
I AM the God who walks and talks with you, as one walks and talks with his friend.
I will surround you and uphold you in this season. Continue to pursue me, the lover of your soul. Lift up your eyes and look into My Face, and I will reveal further facets of who I AM.”
Prayer and Activation : Ask The LORD “How do You want to reveal yourself to me right now Lord, in this season?” Listen and see what He wants to reveal to you.
Isaiah 40:28 (ISV) “Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? The LORD is the eternal God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not grow tired or weary; and his understanding cannot be fathomed.”

April 8, 2022. Time To Move!
“I AM firing the starting pistol! It’s time to go! It is time to put your weight on your front foot, for now is the time to move. You will see a great acceleration of change as the sands of time fall swiftly to the conclusion of this season. A sudden turnaround and shift is now upon you My Bride, as I release fresh assignments, release from past-season partnerships and fresh vision and perspective for the season ahead.
You are moving from glory to glory. Do not mourn excessively over the past season, but release that which has gone past to Me and allow me to reconcile those things that you cannot reconcile in your own strength.
I will uphold you in the transition. As you fix your gaze upon Me, so there will come an ease of movement. Moving into the revelation that I have granted to you and taking steps to move forward is the key. I will be with you every step of the way, and I will place markers along your path as guideposts. Trust Me! Trust My Hand and My Guidance over you and I will lead you to enter into the promised land.”

April 7, 2022. Forgiveness
“Yesterday we spoke about My Mercy. Today I want to help you where you are wrestling with forgiveness. You know already how healing forgiveness is, you know the scriptures and you are following my examples of forgiveness. And yet still it’s a struggle.
For some of you it’s the enormity of the trauma, for others it’s the daily repetitiveness of similar themes which are making this so hard. I’ve seen you in tears as you keep trying to forgive. My Mercy wants to help you. Come meet the ultimate forgiver, Jesus.
Come walk and talk with Jesus and receive His Grace to forgive. This time it will be different because you are not going to forgive with your will alone but my son’s strength and eternal powerful forgiveness is going to flood through you.”
Activation : Become aware of Jesus with you. Thank him for being close and now ask for his help to forgive. Lean into his strength, you can see in the spirit to hold his hand, or rest close to him, sense his presence of peace and power. Now let the ultimate forgiver release his forgiveness into you so you can forgive.
Luke 23:34 NIV “Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they d not know what they are doing.””
April 6, 2022 Rich In Mercy
“Just as you know the sun will rise each new day, know My great Mercy and steadfast Love for you is new every morning too.
It’s part of My Nature, part of My great Love for you. I delight in Mercy and I delight in you.
I AM rich in Mercy. Because of Love, I AM making you rich in Love and Mercy too.
This Mercy, this Faithfulness and Steadfast Love will increase your trust in Me. Because you trust Me, I will keep you in perfect peace. Because you walk in My Peace, you will be bringing My Prince of Peace into the atmosphere around you every day.”
Activation : Ask The LORD to show you any areas within you that are not at peace. Repent of not trusting Him and ask for the steady reassurance of His Love, Mercy and Peace. It’s such an intrinsic part of His faithful nature He will delight in releasing his hope to you.
Micah 7:19 NIV “Because I delight in mercy.”

April 5, 2022. The Pioneering Way
“You have not gone this way before. I see you looking for the ancient paths and trying to find your way by following those. But they are the routes that they have gone before, but this is a new way, and no one has gone this way before. You must move and take each step in the new way. I will literally move the ground beneath your feet. It may feel uncomfortable for a time, but It will become a level ground where you will not stumble or fall. It is a step of faith. For it is a faith journey. For faith is being sure of what you hope for, and certain of what you cannot see. So it is with Me. The sign you are looking for, is Jesus, for He is The Way, and The Truth, and The Life. There is no other way. So, when you cannot see, keep following Him. He will lead you to Me, The Father. My evangelist pioneers, My Children, move with Me and My Spirit. Step out in Faith and lead others to the way to The Father. He is waiting!”
John 14:6 NIV “Jesus said, “I AM the way and the truth and the life no one can come to the Father except through me”.”
April 4, 2022. Time to move!
“You belong to Me. I chose you before the creation of the world. Many of you feel lonely or isolated or on the outside. Or feel that you don’t fit in, or even rejected or bullied. But you belong to Me. I AM yours, and you are mine. You are My Child and, you belong to Me, My Family. I want My Family to know that they belong together. The cry of My Heart is that you become one as we are one. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, embody Me in your whole being, so that We Live in you and you in Us, you are in Us so that we are all in perfect Unity so the world will know and see that you belong to Me. You have My DNA. I AM your father and in you, Christ lives by His Holy Spirit in all His Fullness.”
John 17:21 NIV “I pray that all of them may be one Father, just as you are in me and I AM in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
Pray that you get the revelation that the full trinity in perfect unity lives in you and that you are one with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That there is no separation between you and God but that all His Fullness lives in you and all of you lives in Him.
April 1, 2022. Courage
“Take heart for I have overcome the world. It is time to know that in me, you are more than conquerors. In Me you can do all things. Your confidence is in Me. It is time to be courageous, My Child, My Bride, for I need you to rise up to your greatest hour. It is time to fight your adversary who roams around like a lion, looking for who he can devour. But just like I taught David how to kill the bear and lion with his bare hands as preparation to stand and face Goliath, so I have been training you.
Take your stand with weapons in your hand and rise up like David in the camp of the enemy. Declare today: “I come in the name of The LORD!” Put on the cloak of courage that I AM bestowing on you; rise up, shine, and take the land I have given you.”
Activation : Ask God to show you what your cloak of courage looks like. What colour is it? What texture is it? Are there words written on it? Then ask God what you need to give him or take off before you can put on the cloak of courage. See yourself stand up like David and say to any Goliaths in your life, “I stand in the name of The LORD.”
John 16:33 (AMP) “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding].”
1 Samuel 17:45 (NASB) “But David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a sabre, but I come to you in the name of The LORD of armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.”
