December 31, 2021. New Foundations
“There is a new foundation being laid, a solid foundation. It will be secure, substantial and firm. It will stand against anything that tries to destroy it. I AM destroying what needs to go, and now I AM in the process of rebuilding the rightful things that have been damaged from generations of man-made ideologies. Who will show up to build? Who will be the ones that fully choose Me, My Ways, My Actions and My Voice? It is time to recognise what has been spiritually lost and make a new way found only in Me. You will be a solidified church, you will be a purified people, and you will be forever Mine!”
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.”
December 30, 2021. Solidification
“I AM taking you through a solidification process. I AM taking you, the church, into an ordered solid-state from a disordered state. I AM showing you what it looks like to be a purified bride. Forget the former. You are stepping into the new and refined Church. You will have a new face,” says The LORD. “This face will look humbly surrendered. It will not worship performance, presentation or selfish ambition, but it will be wholesome and pure, full of righteousness and self-sacrifice. Your former ways are now being left at the altar in the burning fire. This fire will consume the former things so you can burn for Him wholeheartedly and with passion like never before.
Set your feet now on the narrow path that I have for you. I AM making you a strong and united Church this next season. It is now time to be the solidified Church that I have destined for you. The year 2022 will be groundbreaking from the shaking that I have taken you through. Do not forget what it took to get you here. Do not forget what you have had to lose and give up in the previous seasons. Stay the course and finish well. This will be a momentous year that will bring alignment into the body of Christ.”
Activation : Ask The LORD what is not solidified in my spiritual life and walk with You? What needs to go and what can stay? Write these things in a journal as these things will be key in moving forward as we progress as the Body of Christ.
Matthew 16:18 NLT “Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.”
December 29, 2021. Healing is Coming
“I AM bringing healing to The Body of Christ as I begin to pour out My oil of joy over the nations! Restoration is imminent as I release the Balm of Gilead from Heaven. This level of healing goes deep, as it restores both the body and the soul from physical pain and mental anguish.
There is greater discernment being given to those flowing in the gifts of healing so that they may more effectively target the manifestations of illness and pain in the body. Physical symptoms will be alleviated as the roots of oppression and inner wounds are addressed. A greater anointing will flow as the physical and deeper healing methods are married together to create a powerful breaker anointing. I AM coming to smash the heavy yokes of physical and mental illness that have been plaguing My people so that they can walk in total wholeness and freedom!”
Micah 2:13 (NIV) “The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, The LORD at their head.”
Luke 4:18-19 (NIV) “The Spirit of The LORD is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of The LORD’s favour.”
December 28, 2021. Evangelists Arise
It is time! I hear the trumpet call being released like a mighty wind from heaven across the earth. Vast Angel Armies are beginning to stomp and move, and as their large boots hit the earth, it begins to crack.
As they go, these are the boots of the evangelists. Watch as the evangelists arise and move out to bless The Nations. Watch as The Spirit of Evangelism begins to be released on university campuses and the young. It will be so strong that whole families and households will come into The Kingdom of God.
Activation : Ask God how you can partner with him in evangelism. Ask The Holy Spirit to empower and embolden you to share the good news of The Gospel and how to pray and intercede for the evangelists to take new ground and bring in a harvest of souls in this new wave of evangelism.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 “For The LORD, himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.”
Revelation 11:15 “The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever.””
December 27, 2021. Step into Authenticity
“It is time to shut the door on the past season and throw away all that was not of me. Like an old Christmas tree that is tired and worn, once covered in tinsel and baubles and fairy lights and brought some pleasure and comfort for a time, you must let go of that which is finished.
Do away with the false pretences — I want My true Disciples to arise. Just like Nathaniel, who accepted My Call and became a true disciple leaving his past behind, I AM looking for those who have in them nothing false. So shut the door on the last season of playing and pretending and any scepticism. Let it go.
There is a new way and new door to open that is full of truth and light. It is the door to authenticity. Step in and through this new way, for it, is the true worshipers. I seek those who will worship Me in Spirit and Truth.”
Isaiah 22:22 NIV “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no-one can shut, and what he shuts no-one can open.”
John 1:47-51 NIV “When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.” “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you. “Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.” Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.””
December 24, 2021. Come and Adore Him
“Like the kings who travelled following the star of David to find the Messiah. Or like the shepherds who were awoken by the angel announcing the birth of the Messiah, come and rush to be by My Side in this season.
Bring your offerings and your Worship to Me today. Bring them to Me and adore Me. I AM no longer a baby in a manger, but I AM the risen and true King. Come and worship Me.
In this season of giving gifts, remember Me. I AM the giver of life; I love to give good things. The gift I AM looking for from you is the fullness of your life.
Don’t forget Me, My Beloved, in this season but come and adore Me as I awaken a heart of worship within you.”
Psalm 95:6 NIV “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before The LORD our Maker.”
Matthew 2:1-2 NIV “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.””
December 23, 2021. Live Generously
“My People, I have brought you into places of abundance. I have set before you a banquet of my Goodness. You have eaten of the plenty that has been available. There has been richness for you to feast on – a richness of My Word, of My Goodness, and My Life.
Be careful not to gorged yourselves. Do not become over-sated like those at a Roman feast who ate until full then made themselves sick to eat more. You are so over-full that you barely receive from me before moving on to the next, eating indiscriminately of what is available without allowing time for digestion, greedily consuming all in your sight, without it impacting your life and without sharing.
Like water flowing into an enclosed pool, it is not flowing as I have designed it to. My Rivers of Living Water are designed to flow into you and out of you, a constantly renewing stream of fresh, life-giving flow. Don’t you know that I have blessed you for you to be a blessing to others?
Be discerning and self-controlled about what you consume and when. Allow My Words to take root in you, to become life, firstly to you and then to others.
Look around the world you live in. Can you see those that are starving, desperate for My Goodness, for My Life? Take of the plenty that you have feasted on and share it, life-giving bread for those not so abundantly blessed.”
Matthew 10:8 NIV “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”
Hebrews 13:16 NIV “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
2 Corinthians 9:8-11MSG “This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.”
December 22, 2021. His Name is Jesus
His name is above every other name; His name is beautiful, powerful, glorious, and majestic. At His name, every knee will bow, in heaven and on the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
How did He get this name? He humbled himself by becoming man, and while being fully, God did not consider equality with him something to be taken advantage of. Instead, He came as a servant in human likeness, and He lived a pure and spotless life, and when the time came, He took upon Himself the sin of the world by dying a death on the cross.
The story didn’t end there, three days, the tomb held Him there, but in victory, He came up out of the grave and took the seat at the right hand of God, where he sits to make intercession for us.
He sits and makes way for us to draw near to God by His blood. By His name, we are saved, and it is this man we worship and adore, the Man Jesus whose name is sweeter than honey and whose name we celebrate for eternity.
Lift up a shout of praise and adoration to Jesus today, give Him thanks for all He has done. Wonderful God, Prince of Peace, Everlasting Father, we adore you today.
Philippians 2:9 -11 NIV “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Isaiah 9:6 NIV “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
December 21, 2021. Praise Him!
Praise Him, you heavens, praise Him all you people on the earth, praise His holy name. Praise Him in the morning; praise Him in the night. Praise Him in your joy and praise Him in your weeping. Praise Him in the valleys and praise Him on the mountaintops. The King of Glory is strong and mighty, glorious in beauty and splendour, abounding steadfast love. He is clothed in mystery and beauty. Praise Him! He is your strong tower and mighty refuge. He is your stand-beside, the faithful witness and a constant companion. Praise Him! Praise Him, for He lives to make intercession for us. He is the first and the last, the way and the truth. He is our bright and shining light. He is the firstborn from the dead and the one who stands victorious over the death. Praise Him because He is worthy of all our praise and adoration.
Psalm 7:17 NIV “I will give thanks to The LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of The LORD Most High.”
Psalm 9:1 NIV “I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.”
Psalm 35:18 NIV “I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise you.”
December 20, 2021. Servant of All
“I AM the servant of all. I AM calling you to be like Me to serve all. Come back to the important things, not your fame, personal glory or platform but to be like Me — a servant. As I washed the feet of My disciples as an act of love and service to them, come and wash the feet of those you lead, come low in humility and serve. Find the true joy that serving brings, for I AM awakening the servant hearts in My People.
This is a season of going low to love and serve others. Ask Me how you can love those around you at this time.”
John 13:4 – 5 NIV “so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.”
Luke 7:38 NIV “As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.”
December 17, 2021. Dive Deep
“I AM calling you deeper. I AM calling you to deeper waters. A place where you can no longer rely on your own strength or resources, but by My Power, I AM awakening your joy and your desire for Me once more.
Do you not feel the deep cry of your soul to be refreshed and renewed, to be re-invigorated by My Spirit?
Come and listen to My heartbeat, Cry out for My rain, Let go of your insecurities, Take courage, take My Hand and dive deep.”
Ezekiel 47: 3-5 (NIV) “As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in — a river that no one could cross.”
Hosea 6:3 (NKJV) “Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of The LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.”
December 16, 2021. Hope
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12 NIV.
“I AM coming to bring an end to the spirit of delay, which has caused a deferring of hope in the hearts of My People. Today, I AM coming to break off the delay which has caused you to lose hope, and I AM restoring back to you a heart filled with hope.
I have not been the one delaying your hopes, and I have seen how the waiting has caused you to question My Nature and your future. I AM coming to heal your heart and remove disappointment.
I AM shouting “let Hope arise” over you once again. This is the time for longing to be fulfilled and for life to be given back to you.
Dare to dream again, to hope again. I AM on the move, and I AM bringing fulfillment to you today.”
Activation : Choose Hope today, speak out to God what you are hoping for and tell any doubt or disappointment to leave your heart and mind in the name of Jesus and tell those lies that you are filled with hope.
Ephesians 1:18 NIV “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.”
Hebrews 10:23 NIV “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”
December 15, 2021. Streamline
“I want you streamlined, and I want you ready. Cast off all that hinders you, do not be held back and buffeted by turbulence anymore. I don’t want you to experience drag when you accelerate.
You will rise above the shaking. Rise above the thunder, rise above the darkness, and you will be made ready. It’s Go Time!”
Activation : Ask Holy Spirit to identify any areas of your life that are hindering your progress. Submit to Him and allow him to do whatever He has to do to make you streamlined for His purposes.
Hebrews 12:1 NLT “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”
December 14, 2021. Joy in Season
The Spirit of The LORD says there is joy in season for you! Hear the sound of joyous praises being released on the Earth. For many, this is a time where joy is lacking and not present because of the weight and burden you carry, but The Spirit of The LORD says that He is joy in times of trouble and sorrow, calm and peace in the night, and comfort in the grief and hardships.
Joy is for you; He is for you! Do not settle for what it felt like in the past but step into the eternal joy I offer and place before you today. Do you not know that I AM the founder and creator of joy itself? Find it only with Me. There is an abundance of joy in the season that is being released. Take and grab hold of it! It is for you.
Activation : Take some time to reflect on His goodness. Write/ journal a list of things that have brought you joy this year and thank God for them.
Romans 15:13 NIV “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

December 13, 2021. There is Freedom
“Don’t look for Me in religion, in the rules and the formulae of man. You won’t find Me there.
Don’t look for Me in the structures and philosophies of the world; I AM not there.
Find Me right next to you, within you, beside you. Connect with My Spirit, and let Me lead you into the freedom that I sent My Son to give you.”
Activation : Welcome The Holy Spirit to consume your life and permit Him to do what he needs to, to free you in every place you are held back.
2 Corinthians 3:17(NIV) “Now The LORD is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of The LORD is, there is freedom.”
Galatians 5:1 (NIV) “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
December 10, 2021. A Life on The Altar
“For a long time, you have come and given Me your offering to place on the altar. You have come and poured out your costly perfume at My feet many times. I have loved these acts of adoration at My feet.
In this season, I AM calling you higher. Come higher; no longer do I want you just to bring me an offering or pour out your oil at my feet, I want YOU to be the sacrifice; I want YOU to be the oil. Am I worth everything you have? Are you willing to give your life as a sacrifice of praise or as the oil of love and intimacy poured out? I no longer want small sacrifices that are fleeting, but I want a life of praise, sacrifice, and adoration to Me.”
Colossians 3:1 NIV “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.”

“My Fire is unyielding.
My Fire is all-consuming.
My zeal is unrelenting.
My compassion, always burning.

Allow the Gaze of My Eyes to burn away that which confines you.
Allow the Joy of My Spirit to burst forth and overwhelm you.”
Prayer and Activation :

Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (NKJV) “Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it …”
Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV) “The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”
December 8, 2021. Come Into The Light
“I AM The Light, the True Light, The Light to your path, the one who illuminates your way. I AM The One who leads you. Where you have felt, the path is dark, obscured, overshadowed by confusion or even looks difficult or dangerous, know that I AM The Light, and I will lead you by My straight paths.
Come into the Light.
Allow Me to illuminate what is in your heart that is obscuring your way. Allow My Light to shine deeply into the darkest recesses of your heart and bring fresh revelation, clarity, the joy of My Light, and release from darkness.
As you allow this searching of your heart, this work of My Spirit will bring greater capacity to receive My Light, and so you will be those who carry My Light into the dark places, who bear witness to My Light, illuminating the way for others to follow me into life.”

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.”
December 7, 2021. Light in the Darkness
“I AM taking My Bride through a refining season, burning up the impurities of her heart with the fiery gaze of My Jealous Love. I want only My Image to remain! I AM toppling the idols of compromise and comfort that have made her stagnant.
Look, as I clothe her in the purest of whites, her dress glistens like the freshly fallen snow when the light shines upon it. I long to pull back the curtain to unveil My Beloved Bride so that all may see My Glory reflected through her countenance. Her purity will make her attractive to a desperate and hurting world, and I will set her like a lighthouse shining in the darkness so that the lost and broken can run to her to find shelter.”

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
December 6, 2021. Shine My Light
“I AM here, and I have come. My light shines within you and through you, My beloved. You are My precious jewel, treasure found in the darkness. As you behold My Face, worshiping Me in spirit and truth, so you are transformed into My likeness, reflecting My Glory and Light.
In the busyness of the season, be awake to My Presence and My Call on your life. Be one who stewards My Heart in welcoming the stranger and caring for the orphan and widow.

“I AM With You
I AM with you in moments of joy.
I AM with you in the moments of loss.
I AM with you when your back is up against the wall.

“I see you, My beloved. I see you in your struggles, in the pressing forth for a breakthrough. I AM moving and hovering over the dust and debris of the dry ground in your life. As you partner with Me, I AM bringing freedom and release from the cares and worries you’ve carried, and I AM moving to recalibrate your heart and bring stability to your life.
It is time to take off the coat of self-protection and place your trust in Me. Yield to My care and protection over you, so the dry and barren areas in your life will be refreshed and live again, and fruitfulness will come again.”
Isaiah 55:1 (AMPC) “Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing].”

Today welcome Me as the consuming Fire, welcome Me to come and burn everything in your life, let Me set ablaze that which is of Me and burn up that which is not.
I AM a jealous God, a God who sees and longs after the wholeness of who you are. I will not withhold Myself from those who embrace Me fully.
You have known the baptism by water, but now, My Church, come and let Me show you the baptism of My Fire.”
