30 August 2024. Community Alignment
“I AM calling my children to be in alignment in the relationships I have specifically designed for you. Who you spend time with is important to Me, and I want you to connect with the right people at the right time.
This means understanding that there may be people around you who seem to be ‘good’ but are not necessarily those who you are meant to be in close relationship with. In order to flourish spiritually this season, it is crucial to be within the right friendship alignments.
In this season the enemy will attempt to use the people around you to hold you back and bring you down. I, however, will use spiritually healthy people, who love Me and walk in my ways, to build you up, to guide you into your purpose and to strengthen you. Therefore, practice discernment this season to align yourself rightly. Seek Me first and I will show you who to partner with for your own good, and for the purposes of My Kingdom.”
Prayer : “Father, thank you that you always ensure I am on the right path. I ask for you to grow my discernment this season, especially in the area of friendships and community. Help me see who the right alignments in my life are, and flourish those in my life. I ask that you also give me wisdom, to know which relationships are not in my best interest, and give me the courage to walk away from those relationships if need be. Show me how to move forward in the right community, with the right people, so I can grow in relationship with you and your people.”
Matthew 7:16-20 (NKJ) “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 (NIV) “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
29 August 2024. Join Together
“Children, My Ecclesia is like a fruit basket where fruits of different varieties are all close to each other causing them to ripen faster. By being in contact with each other, the fruit ripens quickly.
Like the variety of fruit found in a bowl, so you my children will also mature faster as you allow yourselves to come in contact with each other.
It is so good to see my children joined together — I love seeing you as builders together, helping each other, being there for each other in times of need.
This brings me great delight!”
Application : First, consider what is your heart posture and mindset towards your brothers and sisters in Christ.
If you find a hardness within yourself around this, pray:
“Father, I have sinned in keeping, accepting, and even preferring, distance from other believers.
Please forgive me. I repent. I remove the distance I have placed between me and my brothers and sisters. I agree and desire to be joined together, to be built together into a holy temple in You.”
Then make a Declaration:
“In Jesus’ Name I declare it is good for those in Christ to be one.”
Next, ask the Lord to lead you to do something that has an impact on someone else, be it in the Spirit, in their heart, family, practically or finances. For example, proclaim a God given decree to shift them spiritually, commit to praying for their family, help them practically in something, bless their finances. Something has to be different from how it would be if you had not done anything.
Finally, consider if you can allow someone else to have an impact in your life, to carry your burdens. Think of someone safe, whom you trust. Share one of your burdens (need, lack, problem) with them. Ask them for help. If you have an idea of how, let them know. For example, to ask God for a prophecy/decree for you, or to help you in a concrete way. If you don’t know of a specific way, just say “I need help in this area / I don’t know what to do with this / I am stuck in this.” Allow the Spirit to join you together in union with each other through your vulnerability and openness.
EPHESIANS 2:19-21 (CJB) “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.”
PSALM 133:1 (AMP) “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!”
PROVERBS 18:1 (CSB) “One who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound wisdom. “
28 August 2024. On Earth as it is in Heaven
“I AM Love and My Kingdom is a realm where love thrives, abounds and permeates every single being. It is a place of abundance, laughter, kindness and never-ending resources. The daily manna for My People in the desert was but a glimpse of my Kingdom provision.
There is no space for hate, bitterness, judgement, greed and envy. In the world, comparison erodes your ability to become the shining jewels I have made you to be. That is why I am asking you to come up higher and see for yourselves what heaven looks like, My Beloved.
The purpose of my sons and daughters is to encounter me, mirror My Kingdom and show the people who don’t know me who I AM through you. Jesus shed his precious blood so that in him you could be spiritually at my right-hand side in heavenly places while you bless, heal and deliver on this Earth.
I want you to lavish people with my extravagant love and generosity. I want you to push beyond human standards and shock even yourselves as you find out and demonstrate that My Kingdom is endless, and there is room for everyone. You do not need to rely on your own strength. So give even what you seemingly don’t have. As you do, joy will bubble up in your spirit and more oil will flow through you. Yes, as you partake of my plentiful supply, I will give you beyond worldly comprehension. I promise I will amaze you because my generosity is unmatched.”
Activation : Sit with The Holy Spirit and ask him to highlight aspects of your heart that don’t comply with God’s character and Kingdom. Has your heart been greedy or fearful to lose something or in competition with others? If so, repent from having partnered with anything He reveals. Then allow The LORD to show you in what area or to whom He wants you to give — whether time, resource, friendship or financially. Ask Jesus if He wants you to begin a project or process related to that and ask for specific revelation and strategy — start writing down the main points He reveals. Then take your time in the next days or months to pray over what has emerged, and take steps to action them in obedience.
Luke 6:38 (AMP) “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return. “
2 Kings 4:3-7 (NLT) “And Elisha said, “Borrow as many empty jars as you can from your friends and neighbours. Then go into your house with your sons and shut the door behind you. Pour olive oil from your flask into the jars, setting each one aside when it is filled.” So she did as she was told. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she filled one after another. Soon every container was full to the brim! “Bring me another jar,” she said to one of her sons. “There aren’t any more!” he told her. And then the olive oil stopped flowing. When she told the man of God what had happened, he said to her, “Now sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what is left over.” “
27 August 2024. True Love
“Dear One, what is True Love?
Society pursues it, people yearn for it, some claim to have found it – but without me there is never fullness. True Love can only be found in Me, for I AM love! I AM patient and kind; not envious, boastful, dishonouring or delighting in evil; I rejoice in truth and keep no record of wrongs; I always protect, trust, hope and persevere. I never fail.
For this reason, the key to beautiful life relationships is to first pursue relationship with Me. I long for you to love and be loved to an extent you have never experienced before. Will you step afresh into My presence? Will you take time to read my word?
I invite you into a place of deeper intimacy with Me. Here, I will gently heal the wounds of the past, empower you to forgive, increase your capacity to love, transform you into My likeness and show you your true worth. This will help you to set healthy boundaries, release attachments that are not of Me and protect you from settling for less than My best.
As you make knowing Me your priority, doors will open to heal, align & transform your relationships – positioning you for your God-given purpose. I came that you might have life and have it to the full! So today, Beloved, step into greater relationship with me for I AM the One who will never fail you.”
Activation : Prayerfully sit with The Holy Spirit and jot down your priorities – the things that take up the most space in your life. Are there any that need to change to put God first? Repent where other things have taken precedence and commit today to put God first. Now pray this prayer. “Lord I submit all my priorities and relationships to you. I long to know you more and choose to put you first in my life. As I do, will you bring all my other relationships into alignment with your plans and purposes? Please align me for your best. In the Name of Jesus, Amen”. Then rest in His presence and allow Him to speak and minister to you.
1 John 4:16 (NIV) “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a (NIV) “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
26 August 2024. Undivided Heart
“My beloved Bride, I long for you to know wholeness and complete security in My love. When a close friend visits your home, do you keep them on the doorstep to talk, or do you invite them in to spend precious time with you?
I AM standing at the door of your heart and asking of you to let Me in. In to the deep recesses of your innermost being where I desire truth. It is only from that place of deep assurance in who you are in Me, of knowing how valued and loved you are, that you will live a life of joy, freedom, peace and victory.
I see many in my Body with a fragmented and divided heart. A heart that is fractured by the experiences of life, experiences that have given the enemy a landing strip for lies. In that place of brokenness, both false comfort and false idols take hold. I am asking you to be brave. Spend time with Me and open your heart fully so that I might restore and bring newness of life.
My love exposes the lies.
My love heals the pain and trauma.
My love holds you steady, safe and secure.
My love is peace and power.
My love utterly transforms.
My desire for you is to live with an undivided heart. A heart full to overflowing with Holy awe and wonder, a heart which knows the truth and is completely healed and set free! “
Activation : Intentionally spend time in the Lords’ presence and ask Him to search your heart and reveal areas that need healing or where lies need to be exposed. Pour out the pain in the presence of the Lord and release forgiveness where appropriate. Ask God to heal and restore. Repent of believing any lies and ask God for scriptures to replace the lies with truth. Declare those verses over your life, every day for a month. Ask someone you trust to pray with you, if you need to.
Revelation 3:20 (AMPC) “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.”
Psalm 51:6 (AMP) “Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.”
Psalm 86:11-12 (NIV) “Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.”
23 August 2024. Shattering Containment
“Beloved, I AM the Divine One who grants you the same unrivalled power and authority that raised Christ from the dead. I gave you the keys of confidence and boldness to unlock these gifts to be used mightily for My Kingdom. Your light is meant to be seen, bright enough to combust darkness. Your voice is meant to be heard, mighty enough to shatter mountains. However, along the way, the lies that told you that you needed to be unseen and unheard to “keep the peace” stole your keys, muzzled your voice, and stuffed your spirit in a container. This has now caused you to feel “less than” and afraid to speak when you walk into a room. But do not despair. For I AM the God who exposes darkness to set you free and to restore you! Come to Me, and let me break you out of containment. I want to restore your worth so that you feel confident to fully be in the space you’re in and bold enough to speak.
I give you permission to walk into places unapologetically with your head held high. I give you permission to set atmospheres rather than blend in or be affected by them. I give you permission to use your voice to speak bold truth rather than worrying about offending the status quo. I give you permission, and I say to you, “Lions, break out and roar! Be the free, bold, and shaking presence I created you to be for My Kingdom!””
Activation : Go into the spirit and find Jesus there. Ask Him to show you where you are contained and what lies were spoken or believed in your past that allowed the containment. When He does, repent and tell Jesus that you no longer want to be contained. Ask Him to break you out and watch as He lovingly, yet powerfully does! Take note of what you see in the spirit and how it makes you feel. Did you see your spirit expand? Did you feel the release? Can you breathe easier? Do your words flow smoother? Thank Jesus for freeing you. Honour Him by unapologetically being the person God created you to be as you live your life with the confidence and boldness of being His child and walking in His power and authority for the Kingdom’s sake.
2 Peter 1:3 (ESV) “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.”
Jeremiah 23:29 (NIV) ““Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?””
Acts 28:31 (NIV) “He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ — with all boldness and without hindrance!”
22 August 2024. Grounded
“My beloved, I encourage you to be steady and sure-footed to avoid slipping or falling into unwanted places. In whatever you undertake, look first at your foundations and where you are grounded, and always prioritise building on a strong foundation in everything you do. Take each step cautiously to ensure both your safety and stability. Prioritise staying safe to avoid getting injured or trapped. The safest place to be is under my care; for I am the solid rock, a sure and unyielding foundation that no enemy can break or cause you to fall. Stay grounded in me so that you can build from a position of readiness always prepared to take action and defend against those who seek to destroy you or bring you harm.”
Activation : Spend some time with The LORD and examine where you have been walking and what the foundations are that you have grounded yourself in. Are you grounded in Him as your foundation or are you grounded in something else? What is your current position? As you examine these things with Him, seek His guidance especially if you find that you have been walking on unstable ground or have become stuck. Ask Him for help so that He can equip you with the weapons to defend against the enemy’s tactics and overcome any challenge. Let Him free you from the enemy’s snare and place you back in His protective care.
Nehemiah 4:16-17 (ESV) “…And the leaders stood behind the whole house of Judah, who were building on the wall. Those who carried burdens were loaded in such a way that each laboured on the work with one hand and held his weapon with the other.”
1 Corinthians 10:4 (MSG) “They all ate and drank identical food and drink, meals provided daily by God. They drank from the Rock, God’s fountain for them that stayed with them wherever they were. And the Rock was Christ.”
Psalm 46:1-3 (ESV) “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.”
21 August 2024. Overcoming Fire
The LORD says, “I have been bringing My Fire of Purification to My Chosen Ones this season, which has brought much deliverance, healing, and perseverance. I rejoice with you, sons and daughters, as you overcome these tests and trials in great victory! I AM singing over you today for your obedience in the past season!
Be aware that the enemy is now bringing a raging fire to My People to try and extinguish the work I have done. However, you can overcome the enemy’s attempts to overthrow this work by using Scripture as a weapon. Scripture is key to overcoming this fire. You must use the Word as a Lamp to your feet, to guide you on the right path and to keep you grounded.”
Activation : Before you read the word, ask The LORD to highlight to you scripture that you can use as a weapon for this season. Learn this scripture and declare it over yourself out loud every day. Read the word daily and read it aloud.
Watch the word being activated in your life as a weapon to come against the fire of the enemy!
Matthew 4:4 (NIV) “Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”“
Psalm 119:105 (KJV) “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path.”
Hebrews 4:12 (ESV) “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
20 August 2024. Everyday Alignment
“Beloved, I know that you have felt an imbalance within you of late — that you sense a misalignment that you were not aware of before. You have questioned the feelings of discontent within your spirit, for you believed you were in step with Me. Your eyes have been fixed on Me in the bigger things — the places you are positioned, the call upon your life, the Kingdom relationships you are building. But how is your everyday alignment? For I do not only require your ‘yes’ for the bigger things. I also require your submission in the everyday rhythms of life. I AM calling you to greater and deeper things in the next season, but first, you need to ensure that you surrender your every day to Me.
You may feel that your daily life is mundane — but it is far from it. Align yourself with Me at every opportunity you can. Dedicate your day to me as you make your morning coffee, celebrate my provision as you shop for groceries, declare my Kingdom over your neighbourhood as you drive through, and show my love to those around you as you interact with them. Take every self-seeking thought captive and ask me to renew your mind. Turn away from the devices that numb you and invite me to comfort you instead. Surrender your everyday alignment to Me, and together we will create sure foundations for us to build my Kingdom upon.”
Activation : Close your eyes and take an internal inventory of your everyday rhythms. Run through a typical day in your mind and ask Holy Spirit to highlight the specific areas that He wants to bring into alignment today. Hold each highlighted area before The LORD and ask for revelation of practical strategies you can use to help you do this. Declare aloud, “Lord, I submit my daily life to You. I order my everyday rhythms to come into alignment with the rhythm of Your Spirit now.” Commit to doing this every day — to ask The LORD daily for the area of your life that He is asking for you to bring into alignment with His purposes and submit yourself to the way He is working within you.
Romans 12:2 (NIV) “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Psalms 139:22-24 (MSG) “Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I’m about; See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong— then guide me on the road to eternal life.”
19 August 2024. Prepare your Weapons
“At a time of war on the Earth, I AM calling you to be ready for a higher type of battle – one that thwarts the enemy’s attacks. In My Kingdom, things work differently. While soldiers prepare their guns as weapons, My Word is a weapon. I AM telling you that it is time to immerse yourself in My Word and let your heart soak in it. Regardless of what happens in the earth, I want you to be led by My Spirit in releasing my word; releasing scriptures that are like bombs in the adversary’s camp. This is not a time to sit and wait; it is a time to be violent in the spirit.
There will be periods of battle when it’s time to fight, and also periods of rest. After each battle, remain in a posture of worship. In that place, you will find rest in me, and I will restore your strength and revive your energy. And as you worship Me, I will give you new strategies and assignments. And you will see that as you are led by me and remain in a posture of worship, every battle will be easy and light, and you will be prepared to conquer more.”
Activation : Start the day with an act of worship as The LORD leads; whatever that means for you, it may even be walking or gardening, but do so as instructed by The LORD. As you are connecting with The LORD, ask Holy Spirit which Scripture or Scriptures you should read and delve into, and for how long (a day, a week, a month, etc.) Meditating on the word of God is powerful so as he reveals the scriptures to you, ask Him to show you how to use them as weapons of warfare against the enemy’s plans.
Matthew 11:12 (ESV) “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.”
Matthew 11:28-30 (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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Psalms 100:2-4 (NIV) “Worship The LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that The LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.”
16 August 2024. Saul’s Armour
“Beloved sons and daughters, now is the time to enter into the maturity and fullness of who you are, and to advance. You are made in My image and are born to rule and reign in the Kingdom, where there is no secular/ministry divide. I trained David for victory over Goliath out of the spotlight, tending sheep and fighting off lions and bears. When the day came to slay the giant, He trusted in the training and was led by the Spirit of God.
Every part of your life is of value to Me. I have honed your gifts and skills through life experiences over many years. Your pain has become My purpose. Holy Spirit has taught you through the mistakes. Nothing in my Kingdom is wasted. You have skill, strategy and wisdom to overcome the enemy and to take the ground.
There will be those who partner with the religious spirit and offer you ‘Saul’s armour’- who tell you “Oh, but this is how it’s done!”. I tell you to listen only to Holy Spirit for the strategy. There is no ‘one size fits all’ in My Kingdom. The ‘armour’ I have for you is tailor made for each assignment. I will not arm you with anything ill-fitting or restrictive, with something that contains you or ends in defeat. Be bold and courageous in these days as you allow Holy Spirit to lead you into the victory that is rightfully yours. Your life is hidden in Me, and I have overcome!”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to show you the areas in life where discouragement and weariness have crept in through wearing ‘Saul’s Armour’. Are you carrying false responsibility or trying to please man? Repent of doing anything in your own strength or by the wisdom and traditions of man. Break agreement or alignment where you need to. Ask God for His strategy and wisdom to partner with the Spirit to see the Kingdom advance in your areas of influence. Write out decrees and declarations based on what He shows you and be diligent in daily speaking them out.
1 Samuel 17:38-40, 50-51 (NLT) “Then Saul gave David his own armour—a bronze helmet and a coat of mail. David put it on, strapped the sword over it, and took a step or two to see what it was like, for he had never worn such things before. “I can’t go in these,” he protested to Saul. “I’m not used to them.” So David took them off again. He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd’s bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd’s staff and sling, he started across the valley to fight the Philistine……
….. So David triumphed over the Philistine with only a sling and a stone, for he had no sword. Then David ran over and pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath. David used it to kill him and cut off his head.”
Matthew 11: 28-30 (MSG) “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
15 August 2024. Battle Lines
“In the story of David and Goliath, the philistines invaded ‘Judah’, which in Hebrew means ‘praise, thanksgiving’. They then set up camp between Socoh (‘hedge, fence’) and Ephes-Dammim, (‘boundary of blood’). The enemy often tries the same tactics today, camping out in your circumstances to stop you praising me and tempting you to disregard My blood shed for you that has already defeated him. In these instances, it is important to know how to react.
The Israelites camped at ‘Elah’ which means ‘standing out’ and implies foolishly going along with the crowd. They did just that, giving in to fear. When Goliath (‘to expose’) of Gath (‘winepress’) tried intimidation to crush them, revealing their weaknesses, they gave into his perspective, forgetting their God-Given Identity. Instead of bearing fruit under pressure, they folded. Not surprisingly, their enemy would not leave. Only when David (‘Beloved’) wielded the weapon of My perspective, praising Me in the valley, was the giant defeated.
Beloved, there will be times that the enemy tries to encroach on your turf, using intimidation to stop you praising Me in your circumstances. Do not agree with him! As David did, draw a border line of the blood of Jesus between him and you that he cannot cross. Stand firm in your identity in Me, pick up the weapons of praise and My perspective and drive him out of your territory! “
Activation : Invite Holy Spirit to show you areas where Satan has been attacking your territory. Jot them down with space between. Ask if there is anything you need to change and/or repent of to evict the enemy. Repent & commit to change. Now Stand and declare, “I am a Child of the Living God, Bought by his Blood. No Weapon formed against me will prosper! I plead the blood of Jesus in a line between the enemy and ……(insert area). Now, In The Name of Jesus, I command all enemies to leave!” Then prophetically draw a line (red ideally) around each area on your page to symbolise its protection!
Revelation 12:11a (AMP) “And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony.”
1 Samuel 17:45-46a (ESV) “Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of The LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day The LORD will deliver you into my hands.””
14 August 2024. Conquering Territory
“It is time for My Joshuas to arise. It is time for My Warrior Bride to step out with boldness and courage and to take ground for My Kingdom.
Just as I commanded my servant Joshua to conquer the Promised Land step by step and to drive out the enemy one by one, so I AM calling you to take territory for My Kingdom. I have placed you strategically into your city, your neighbourhood, your workplace, your family and even your friendship circle. I have given you your particular sphere of influence. Now I am giving you a mission to fulfill.
My Promise to you is that I will always be with you. I will protect you, guide you and I will give you strategy and wisdom. What I require of you is to be a courageous and bold warrior as Joshua was. Do not be afraid of the enemy or be intimidated by his schemes. Instead, fix your eyes on Me and on the assignment that I AM giving you to bring My Kingdom into your sphere of influence.”
Activation : Spend time with The LORD and ask Him to give you a specific assignment where you can bring His Kingdom into your daily life, your family, your neighbourhood or your workplace. Ask Him to show you what area of your sphere of influence He wants you to bring a heavenly change to and how He wants you to shift the spiritual atmosphere. He might want you to start prayer walking your local neighbourhood, make declarations for the businesses in your city, warfare for the children and young people in schools and universities. Whatever the assignment, trust God that He will give you a strategy. Commit for the next couple of weeks to conquer this specific territory for His Kingdom.
Joshua 1:3 (AMP) “I have given you every place on which the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised to Moses.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV) “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of them, for The LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Philippians 4:13 (ESV) “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
13 August 2024. You are My Warrior!
“My child, as you enter into a new season be aware not to bring with you some aspects of the old mindset that I am requiring you to leave behind.
One aspect of these is lack of self-worth; where you have come to believe that you are not enough. The enemy has had you look at others around you wide-eyed – whispering in your ear that they are brighter, stronger and more anointed. It is time to break that lie off of you right now.
Remember that you are mine. You are unique in who I have created you to be and in what I have called you to do. Your calling is yours alone, and you are my warrior. It’s time to break off any restriction and realise that even as you live your daily routine, your voice can decree, declare and change atmospheres.
I AM doing a new thing dear one, so do not belittle yourself. I AM using every single skill I put within you. I AM increasing your anointing to show you how I can and will open unimaginable doors for My People. Now lift your head as the fighter that I have made you to be and remember who I say you are.”
Activation : Meditate on and declare aloud the words of Psalm 139 to remind yourself who you are in The LORD and that you are uniquely created for Kingdom purposes. As you do, ask Holy Spirit to reveal to you and deepen your understanding of, your full identity in Christ.
Psalm 139:13-15 (AMP) “For You formed my innermost parts; you knit me [together] in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being formed in secret, and intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colours] in the depths of the earth.”
John 14:12-14 “The person who trusts me will not only do what I’m doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I’ve been doing. You can count on it. From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I’ll do it. That’s how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it. Whatever you request in this way, I’ll do.”
John 14:12-14 (MSG) “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.”
12 August 2024. Reflect to Eject
“My child, I AM urging you today not to rush through into the new season. Instead, take a pause, and progress into the new through a time of reassessment and reflection.
I will give you awareness of your disappointments and pain, and I will uproot them from your life so that they do not take hold. Give everything to me that has been weighing you down and holding you back, and I will help you to move into this new season well. I will give you wisdom on how to move forward so you can go in victory; with ease, purpose and vision.
Take some time to sit and reflect with me. Bring to me any pain and disappointment you carry and allow me to restore you in this process, ejecting brokenness and heartache. Take some time to look back at what has gone well over this past season and consider with me what needs to be laid down in order for you to move forward.”
Activation :
1. Spend time journaling your thoughts on the previous season. List what you think went well. Once you have done that, sit and ask God to show you His thoughts on your reflections and ask Him how you can move forward with His wisdom. Let Him encourage you and guide you.
2. Journal your reflections on anything you felt was difficult from the previous season. Write down any hurts or pain you may be carrying. Don’t rush this step. This may be uncomfortable, but once you acknowledge the pain, you can see what is in your heart. Write down your thoughts and feelings. If you are unsure, ask God to show you if there is any pain that is unresolved in your heart.
3. Ask God what you need to let go of so you can move forward — is there unforgiveness or anger that you are holding on to? Repent as the Spirit leads, and then ask Him to bring healing and restoration. Journal all that He shows you and rest in Him as he counsels your heart and prepares you to step into the new season.
Matthew 11:28 (NIV) “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Psalm 147:3 (NLT) “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.”
9 August 2024. The Power of Thanksgiving
“Beloved, choose thanksgiving in every life situation.
It is a weapon against the enemy that changes the focus from his attack to My Character, from your weakness to My Strength, from your problems to My solutions, and builds faith to believe for the impossible!
At times, thanking feels hard, especially when breakthrough is needed. Remember that as you pray for help and cast your cares on Me, I will lift your burdens and replace them with My peace, which passes all understanding!
In Luke 17, ten lepers asked Me to heal them. Only one, the Samaritan that did not know My father, thanked Me. He not only received healing that day but relationship with the Saviour! Which of the ten would have spread the Good News of Salvation? Remember you are not just part of your own story but other people’s too!
So today, start thanking Me for who I AM; creation; My promises; My interventions in the lives of those in the Bible, your life and the lives of others.
Declare, if God broke through for them, He can for me! As you do, your faith will rise, atmospheres will shift before you and My presence will carve a path to Victory! “
Activation : Take an area you need breakthrough in and invite Holy Spirit into it. Begin to thank God for who He is; His creation; people in the Bible who experienced similar breakthrough from the one you need; other people’s testimonies and your own. Now Declare “Lord, if you did this for them, I know you can do it for me! I ask you now for breakthrough!” Declare faith building verses. Be aware how your perspective/ the atmosphere changes as you pray. Allow Holy Spirit to speak to you about it. Pray this way often until breakthrough comes. Record your testimonies and share them!
Psalm 100: 4-5 (ESV) “Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For The LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”
Philippians 4: 4-7 (NIV) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
8 August 2024. Motivated by Faith
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6 ESV)
“Faith motivated Abraham to get up in obedience and leave the familiar without prior knowledge of the destination. His eyes of faith were fixed on Me, and he remained steadfast on the journey to inherit the promises I had given him.
Many in the Body of Christ are at a juncture where the weariness and struggle of this past season would tempt you to stop and settle for comfort and ease. However, I encourage you to consider the consequences of Lot’s choice to settle on the fertile plains of the Jordan valley. His eyes were drawn to what appeared lush and inviting, but it wasn’t to last. In that same moment, Abraham trusted in My ways and chose to take the ‘higher ground.’
Let bold faith arise to empower you to make the right decisions and inherit the promises for your life. Don’t always trust in what you see with your eyes. Outward appearances can be deceptive. My ways are higher than yours. Don’t give up now, keep trusting and stay on this journey of faith with your heart fixed on Me. I AM is faithful and I have so much more for you, My child, and your loved ones in the days ahead. The rewards of your faith are coming.”
Activation : Spend time over the next few days reviewing promises and prophetic words you have received for your life. Have you settled for less than God’s best in any area? Repent of any unbelief. As you praise and worship The LORD, with eyes fixed on Him, allow fresh faith to arise, believe and now ‘go again!’
Genesis 13:14-17 (NLT) “After Lot had gone, The LORD said to Abram, “Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west. I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession. And I will give you so many descendants that, like the dust of the earth, they cannot be counted! Go and walk through the land in every direction, for I am giving it to you.”
Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV) ““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares The LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.””
Galatians 6:9 (NLT) “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”
7 August 2024. Who AM I?
““Who do you say that I AM?” When this question was asked of Peter he received revelation that Jesus was the Christ. Upon this revelation I built the foundations of The Church, a Church with power, authority and revelation.
Today I AM asking the same of you: “Who do you say that I AM?”
I AM looking for those who chose me fully, who search out every aspect of My Character, that love me as father, know me as saviour, honour me as righteous judge, yield to me as King of Kings; those who know they can approach My Throne of grace with confidence yet also know that I dwell in unapproachable light.
Only those who embrace my fullness can be firmly rooted. They are the ones I can build upon, the ones who will form the walls, the towers, the turrets of My House. They will be able to bear the weight of My Glory, stepping into greater levels of authority and releasing My power on the earth.”
Activation : With the Holy Spirit assess how you view God. Are there aspects of his nature you dwell on less than others? Ask him where your blind spots are to his nature. Commit to knowing these aspects better, find Bible verses or passages revealing this side of his nature. Pray through this aspect of his nature asking him to strengthen your understanding in this area. Spend time over the coming weeks praising him for this aspect of his character and growing in love for this.
Matthew 16:18-19 (NIV) “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
John 1:16 (ESV) “And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.”
Colossians 1:19-20 (ESV) “For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”
6 August 2024. Letting Go
“I know that sometimes things don’t make sense. It’s at those times you must remember that everything I do is for your good.
Please don’t always assume when things are not going to plan it’s an attack of the enemy. Remember, things will not always look how you expect them to. Remain focused and in tune with what I AM doing. Give little thought to the enemy or external factors.
Be like David, when he asked for his Joy to be restored and posture yourself to receive. Have I not said, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand? Stand firm on my words and the promises that have been declared over you.
Don’t be afraid to let go. Let go of the things that hold you back. Things that keep you static.
I have given you a willing spirit that will sustain you, so when you think letting go is losing yourself, be assured you are losing yourself in Me.”
Activation : Find a quiet moment and ask God what you need to let go of. Trust that God wants the best for you. Declare Psalm 51:8-12 over yourself as you release all that he has asked you to.
Psalm 51:8-12 (TPT) “Satisfy me in your sweetness, and my song of joy will return. The places you have crushed within me will rejoice in your healing touch. Hide my sins from your face; erase all my guilt by your saving grace. Keep creating in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you. May you never reject me! May you never take from me your sacred Spirit! Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say. “
5 August 2024. Closure
“My beloved, there have been many ups and downs over these past months as it has been a time of stripping away. It has been a time of pulling away what has become old and burdensome. It is because I love you and care for you that I have brought these things to the light.
Allow me to bring closure to the things that no longer bring life. For in letting go of the old there is space made for the new. This is a natural rhythm to life. To be alive is to grow, expand, and create. This means life is full of openings and closings.
While closure can be difficult — painful at times — it signals growth and germination. Do not become disheartened by these days of closure. Be thankful for all that has been accomplished, celebrate what has been good and beautiful, and then fix your eyes upon me in anticipation.”
Activation : As a prophetic act of accepting a time of closure and making space for the new, spend some time sorting out the space you live in. Maybe there are some clothes you can give away, belongings that can be organised, or a room that needs to be tidied. Whatever it looks like, take some time to clear out your physical space in preparation for the new.
Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV) “Through The LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”
Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV) “Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
2 August 2024. Building in Wisdom
“Do not build in vain! Let Me be the one who builds and establishes your house. I have unique blueprints and designs specifically created for what I want to be built. It is not My intention for you to toil and build by the sweat of your brow. That was the result of the curse, and for those who continue to build as if they are still governed by it, building according to the wisdom of man.
These are the ones who build their houses on the sand with no solid foundation; their houses will not stand, and they will eventually fall.
But you, My redeemed covenant people, are to build with Me, and I will bless you and cause the earth to yield to you. But you must first wholeheartedly yield your heart to Me, submitting to My instruction and following my commands.
Complete and absolute trust in Me is required. It is here that you will be anointed with My spirit of wisdom and my spirit of understanding to build.
This access is given to those whose hearts are pure and are committed to joining theirs with mine.
Those who desire and practise a lifestyle of “oneness” with me will have access to greater revelation and increased flows of wisdom that will pour from Me, and it is my wisdom that will be your solid foundation.
So, you must intentionally plant yourselves by my rivers and receive my wisdom to build, and if you do, then your foundations will be strong and sustainable, leaving a legacy.
What you build with me will stand when all others collapse.”
Activation : Pray this prayer as you seek to build solidly with The LORD in every area of your life:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before you with a humble heart seeking Your guidance and wisdom. Show me, LORD, the areas in my life where I have been toiling in vain. Reveal any paths that I have taken out of self-reliance and where I have neglected to seek oneness with you. Grant me the wisdom to recognize where self-effort has replaced Your holy guidance, and the strength to surrender those areas to Your will. Let Your spirit of wisdom flow through me, guiding my steps and shaping my decisions as I purpose to build in alignment with Your perfect plan to build a legacy that stands firm in Your wisdom and for Your glory. Amen.
Psalm 127:1 (ESV) “Unless The LORD builds the house, those who build it labour in vain. Unless The LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.”
Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT) “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
1 August 2024. Spiritual Inventory
“My child, as you are stepping out of the old and into the new, it’s time to take a spiritual inventory. Let us together examine the condition of your spiritual armour and weapons, your spiritual fruits, your spiritual alignments, your oil of intimacy. This is a vital task as you cannot step into new assignments that I have prepared for you without knowing your spiritual status quo.
A new season requires new warfare strategies, new weapons, new thinking, new positioning and new alignments. What has worked in the past and has brought you this far will not sustain you in this coming season.
Come, My child, let’s take a spiritual inventory together.
If you discover you lack something or need to repair or replace something, come to Me as My supply of armour, weapons, fruits, strategies and whatever else you might need are limitless.
My child, I want you to step into this new season as fully prepared as possible.
I want you to succeed. I want you to be victorious.
Activation : Over this next week sit with The LORD and take a spiritual inventory together. Ask Him to examine your heart motives, your armour, and spiritual weapons. Let Him show you any fruit of the Spirit that is missing in your life. Let Him highlight to you where you need to make corrections in regard to your spiritual alignments. Do you have enough oil of intimacy? Do you need to repair parts of your armour? Do you need to replace a spiritual weapon? Ask The LORD to provide you with whatever you need.
Matthew 7:7 (NLT) “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.”
Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT) “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”
Ephesians 6:11 (TPT) “Put on God’s complete set of armour provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser.”
