30 December 2022. Joint Heirs
I hear the cry of the Father’s heart saying: “My Son, My Son, behold My Son. Look at My Son.
Behold His beauty and His grace. Is He not My Best? Did I not send My Best to you? Did I not send My most beloved to you? Behold My Son.
You may know Him as Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace, but I know Him as My Son.
Look upon My Son. Consider My Son. His Name is Jesus.
Consider the eternal redemption My Son obtained for you. Consider My Son, what Me gave up and His willingness to lay down his life for yours even while you were still a sinner and separated from Us.
My Son, My Son, I love My Son. He did what no man could do and He never considered disobedience. He went because I asked him to. He went as a tender, helpless baby, became a man and took upon himself the pain and penalty of sin for mankind.
Look into the cup in His hand and do not look away from the wrath within. Look into the cup and as the gravity of what you see inside begins to penetrate through the layers of your heart, My Son will uphold you. As the full weight of Jesus’ sacrifice permeates through you, allow His selflessness to draw you into a deeper understanding of Us and into a greater revelation of who I am.”
Romans 8:17 (NKJV) “. . . and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
Philippians 3:10 (NKJV) “. . . that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death . . .”
Hebrews 9:12 (NKJV) “Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.”
29 December 2022. My Yoke is Easy
“Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I AM gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
This is a time of year in which most of us can become so weary and burdened with all the expectations and demands put upon us that we find it difficult to rest. We lie in bed worrying about all the things we have to do and we are so busy getting everything sorted for the holiday season. Rest does not factor into the equation.
There is another way.
Jesus asks us first to come; come with your burdens and weariness into his presence as he has a gift for you –– rest. In that place, you can exchange your burdens for his yoke. Give him your weariness and receive rest.
And I hear you ask –– how can a yoke be easy? It is not a yoke like an animal would wear. What he is offering is his hand, he is stretching out his hand to you right now and all you have to do is take it. Let him hold your hand, and he will guide you,
protect you and comfort you.
So, come and take hold of the hand of Jesus now and allow him to help you navigate through this season in the position of rest.
28 December 2022. Purpose
“What is your purpose? Why are you here? Are you here to live your life, to pursue a career, be a good wife or husband? Why are you here?
I want you to start digging deeper into the reason why you are here on this earth. Do you understand that you are not here just to live a life? You are not here to have a career, a family and to go to Church on a Sunday. There is more.
I came to preach The Gospel, to heal the broken-hearted, to set the captives free and recover the sight of the blind. Church, you are meant to do the same. That’s why you are here!
You are built to push back the darkness and advance My Kingdom. Every decision you make should have that end goal. Why are you here? What is your purpose? And is the life that you’re living pointing towards that end goal?
Hasten the day of My Return by doing the things that you’re meant to do! If you are in the marketplace, what seeds are you sowing, who are you telling about Me, how are you financing The Kingdom? If you are in education, how are you showing My Love through your teaching? If you are in economics, what Kingdom strategies have you put in place?
The harvest is ripe but there are few harvesters. You are a harvester, you are a healer, you can heal the broken-hearted, set the captives free, all in My Name. Don’t think too little of yourself, it is I who lives in you! There is resurrection power inside of you! Go use it!”
Activation : Ask The LORD what changes you can make in your day to day life to advance His Kingdom. Where can you sow seeds? Where can you harvest? Ask The LORD to help you get in alignment with his agenda and His Goals. Ask Him to help you focus on your purpose on the earth.
Luke 4:18 (NKJV) “The Spirit of The LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
Acts 1:8 (AMP) “But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”
27 December 2022. Dear One
“Oh my dear one: do you realise that My Heart burns for you? That My Heart longs to be as one with your own.
My Love, you are My Pride and Joy. Don’t define yourself according to what the world sees. Define yourself according to what I see.
What I see is beautiful.
What I see is precious.
My Heart burns for you, beloved one!
I AM passionate and wild; My Love for you runs freely and uncontained. It is My Desire for us to spend all of our days together. Rest today in the assurance found in Song of Songs 4:7 — You are altogether beautiful, My Love; there is no flaw in you.”
Activation : Ask God what is on his heart for you today. Ask for a fresh revelation of his passion and love for you.
Psalm 139:17-18 (TPT) “Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me.
Song of Songs 1:15 (TPT) “My darling, you are so lovely! You are beauty itself to me. Your passionate eyes are like gentle doves.”
26 December 2022. My Shepherd
“Allow Me to Shepherd you and I will lead you to a place where you will want for nothing. No one has to settle for the crumbs that fall from My Table, because I have prepared a Feast for you in the presence of your enemies.
Rest in the Truth and in the privilege of being My Child.
Draw on the benefits of our relationship.
Allow Me to guide you and lead you into a place of abundance.
As My Child, My Wisdom is always available to you. When My Wisdom is applied, it will open up situations and places that have been previously closed off.”
Psalm 23:1 (NKJV) “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Romans 8:17 (TPT) “And since we are his true children, we qualify to share all his treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is and all that he has. We will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferings as our own.”
James 1:5 (NKJV) “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
23 December 2022. Cast Out the Nets Again
“It is time to cast out the nets again. It is time to make steps, move and reach out again.
Yes, you have been in a waiting season. Yes, I have been testing you, your perseverance, and your faith. Y es, I wanted to see how you are doing when things get really difficult.
You made it through the test and you did very well. I can truly say you are my good and faithful servant. I AM proud of you.
Now is your time to rise up again.
Arise and shine.
Be exposed and step out again.
I know it is difficult and it requires a lot of Faith, because still you can´t see clearly where My Journey leads you to. But what I need from you now is your “Yes” and “Here I am, send me.” I know it’s hard to stand up again after lying on the floor and being in the desert for so long. But you can do it. I am sending my angels to help and surround you.
Yes, there are still some struggles and I need to cut some things off of you but as I AM doing this, My Streams of Healing will flow and you will rise up like an eagle.
I AM the one who renews your strength.
Go child, go!”
Luke 5:4 (TPT) “Jesus sat down and taught the people from the boat. When he had finished, he said to Peter, “Now row out to deep water to cast your nets and you will have a great catch.””
Isaiah 60:1 (NIV) “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of The LORD rises upon you.”
Isaiah 40:31 (ESV) “But they who wait for The LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
22 December 2022. I AM Jealous for You
“Are you pleasing Me or man? Am I your idol or have your gifts become your idol? Remember, every gift comes from above, from My heart. Does your heart belong to Me or to your gifts? Have you dethroned Me from your heart?
Beloved, I AM a jealous God.
Your heart must belong to Me and Me only, but you must be willing to enthrone me there. You cannot have two idols enthroned in your heart. Joy comes when you walk in obedience to My ways. Your desire must be to please Me in everything you do. This is where your Joy comes.
When you please men with your gifts and look for validation, as Your FATHER, I cannot watch you going in that direction. When that happens, I have to show you what is hidden deep in your heart.”
Activation : Does this Word stir you? How will you respond?
Exodus 20:5-6 (NIV) “You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, The LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
Psalm 37:4-6 (AMP) “Delight yourself in The LORD, And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart. Commit your way to The LORD; Trust in Him also and He will do it. He will make your righteousness [your pursuit of right standing with God] like the light, And your judgement like [the shining of] the noonday [sun].”
21 December 2022. Boundless
“The place where I dwell is beyond any earthly boundary. I tore the veil that separated heaven and earth so you could come boldly into My Throne Room.
Stretch out your tent pegs and desire to grow beyond the space that has been allotted to you. Grow unsatisfied with things as they are and begin to climb and shift until My Spirit brings you through and boosts you to the next level. Partner with Me and I will lead you to a wide-open space.”
Activation : Confront and push against any limitation, ceiling and restriction around you or any in your own thinking. Be bold and brave to ask the Holy Spirit to dismantle the places of safety that either you have created for yourself or the ones have been created around you that are not of The LORD.
Isaiah 54:1-2 (NKJV) “”Sing, O barren, you who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not laboured with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman,” says The LORD. “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.””
1 Chronicles 4:10 (NKJV) “And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” so God granted him what he requested.”
Psalm 31:3-4 (NKJV) “For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me. Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength.”
Psalm 31:8 (NKJV) “And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.”
20 December 2022. Righteous Judge
“In this season, I AM revealing Myself as the Righteous Judge to the Nation. I judge all, with My Righteousness. My righteousness never fails in judging the earth and it starts with My People.
My People have failed to understand My true Nature. I AM the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. I have written this on My Robe and on My Thighs. I reveal this to those who are intimate with Me and never came out of that union. When My Kingship is adulterated by My People, I process and wait patiently as I AM the GOD who is slow to anger and rich in mercy. I Judge the earth with My Mercy and give all a second chance to return to My Fold.
I desire repentance from your heart and the sacrifice of praise from your lips.
My Kindness leads all to Repentance when they seek Me Wholeheartedly. My Kindness makes My People fit for My Purpose. I did not promise anyone a life without troubles. Troubles and tests bring forth greatness in you when you hold on to Me, My Work, and My Timing.”
Activation : Study Romans 2:1-4. There are two different definitions/meanings for the word, “kindness”. Ask Holy Spirit to teach you a new thing as you take time to study and journal with this passage.
Revelation 19:16 (NKJV) “And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Romans 2:4 (NIV) “Or do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, forbearance and patience, not realising that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?”
19 December 2022. Just and Righteous
“I AM a just and righteous God.
You will see me move more and more as a judge on this earth. What has been in the hidden will be seen in the light and what has been spoken in secret will be proclaimed from the housetops. For too long have my children forgotten about me and who I AM.
Judgement starts within My House and that is what I AM doing right now.
I AM longing so much to see My Bride purified and sanctified. Jesus will only come back for a spotless Bride. It is My Love that calls you to repentance.
Do you hear the cry of My Heart?
Repent and turn away from your wicked ways. Humble yourselves before Me. Search Me, and surrender all to Me. I AM close to the broken hearted, but I resist the proud.
Now is your chance to come back to Me. I so long for you.
I have been waiting and waiting and waiting. But if My Bride doesn’t turn away from their wicked ways, I will have to do something, because I AM Just and Righteous.”
Psalm 11:7 (TPT) “But remember this: the Righteous Lord loves what is right and just, and every godly one will come into his presence and gaze upon his face.”
Luke 12:2-3 (ESV) “Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.”
Psalm 97:1-2 (NIV) “The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.”
16 December 2022, Turning Turmoil
“Has your heart been in turmoil trying to work out what is happening in this world? Remember that there is nothing new under the sun. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning, and the end. I have not been defeated.
My Children, bring your thanksgiving to M e, bring your hearts to Me, bring your weak knees to Me. I AM firming you up to stand strong in this day. Yes, even in turmoil and uncertainty!
I have not changed. My Love is from everlasting to everlasting for I AM a sure and steadfast God.
Find Me again as your Saviour, Healer and Strength. Choose to learn more about Me in your
difficulties rather than hiding or running away; for My Wisdom is not your wisdom. Meet Me again; call out to me for I will be found.”
Declaration : I choose to run to God in my difficulties for he is my steadfast Saviour and LORD!
Psalm 24:1-2 (NIV) “The earth is The LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.”
Hebrews 12:11-12 (NIV) “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.”
Isaiah 54:10 (NIV) “”Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says The LORD, who has compassion on you.”
15 December 2022. My Word
“In this hour, I AM calling each one of you to return to My Word.
I AM taking you to a deeper level of revelation to the root of My Word.
There is so much treasure in My Word, where My People have failed to understand and cherish. It is not about how much you read; it is about whether you asked Me to reveal the hidden gems found in my word as you study.
Do you journal what I AM revealing to you?
Do you take time in meditating?
Do you apply this to your life when you face unexpected situations?
People without understanding will perish. Knowledge is found only in My Word.
My Spirit will teach you all that you need when you ask Him. My Word is alive and active. It is sharper than the double-edged sword that splits the soul and spirit, bone and marrow . It also exposes the secret of your desires, thoughts, and motives only if you are willing to chew on My Word.”
John 1:1-5 (NASB, 1995) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
Proverbs 8:32-36 (MSG) “So, my dear friends, listen carefully; those who embrace these my ways are most blessed. Mark a life of discipline and live wisely; don’t squander your precious life. Blessed the man, blessed the woman, who listens to me, awake and ready for me each morning, alert and responsive as I start my day’s work. When you find me, you find life, real life, to say nothing of God’s good pleasure. But if you wrong me, you damage your very soul; when you reject me, you’re flirting with death.”
14 December 2022. El Roi — I AM the God who Sees
“Sons and daughters have you forgotten that I AM The God who sees? I see you and I see all your circumstances. I know every detail of your life and every little thought you think.
I see the highs and the lows.
I see you mourning.
I see you laughing.
I see you dancing.
I see the pain and grief.
I see the loss.
I see all your desires and dreams.
I see you when no one else sees you.
My eyes are always on you. I AM El-Roi, the God who sees. Omnipresent. All sufficient. Almighty. The Alpha and Omega.
I see every minute, every second of your life. I see you in your waking and I see you in your sleeping. Not only do I see you, I AM with you. I have not forgotten about you and I will turn for good what the enemy meant for evil. Hold on to my promises. Don’t lose hope and don’t lose faith.
Follow my lead and trust in Me.”
Activation : In which area of your life do you feel God has forgotten about you or doesn’t see you? Give this all to Him. Speak into those areas that God is a God who sees and not only sees, He cares. Remember the promises He has given you.
Genesis 16:13 (NIV) ““You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.””
Psalm 32:8 (NIV) “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”
Joshua 1:9 (NIV) “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for The LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
13 December 2022. I Set the Table
“Every outward appearance and performance in you will be pulled down as I re-establish the heart of worship at this hour.
I will do it with My Own Hand.
I AM turning My Table around on My People.
I set the Table for you; I have taken My Seat at the table of your heart.
Will you position yourself to sit where I AM asking you to sit?
There are areas where you have allowed your heart to grow into a thornbush with many branches, and I AM bringing this to the surface.
I AM clearing up these branches and calling you to enter the burning bush with Me.
This is the place of total consecration with My Fire where I uproot all roots that are not of My Spirit.
This is an invitation to you if you are willing to step in. It is your choice whether you want to sit at My table or yours.”
Activation : In this hour, The LORD is setting all of us apart for total consecration to Him. Take some time to read Exodus 3:1-6 and ask Holy Spirit to show you hidden treasure in this passage.
Exodus 3:1-6 (NIV) “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of The LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight – why the bush does not burn up.”
When The LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
And Moses said, “Here I am.”
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Issac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.”
12 December 2022. Purify
“Are you prepared for more change?
I can hear some responding in a defeated way, “No more!”
In a forest fire, the flames burn off both the dead wood and the living wood. In my creation, the dead wood falls off a tree in its due time and sometimes the fire razes everything to the ground. The new growth comes in the next season.
What has developed in My Bride that is well past it’s “due time to fall off?”
Review where you have surrounded yourself with so much paraphernalia; of religion, of habits of worship, and many unnecessary things that distract others from seeing Me. Ask Me what needs to go and work with me to cut it off.
This is the purifying that I desire for My Bride. For you will see me more clearly as your hearts and lifestyle become more pure.”
Application : Ask The Holy Spirit about any ‘dead wood’ that sits on your life, in the natural realm and/or the spiritual realm. Listen to his prompts of what he wants to work through and burn off now. Leave the rest to his timings. Can you say to The LORD, “Break me, make me, mould me, form me, into who you want me to be in this world.”
Matthew 5:8 (NIV) “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God”
Matthew 3:10-11 (TPT) “The axe is now ready to cut down the trees at their very roots. Every fruitless, rotten tree will be chopped down and thrown into the fire. Those who repent I baptize with water, but there is coming a man after me who is more powerful than I. In fact, I’m not even worthy enough to pick up his sandals. He will submerge you into union with the Spirit of Holiness and with a raging fire!”
( *Paraphernalia is ‘trappings that are associated with a particular institution or activity which are superfluous’. )
9 December 2022. My Goodness
“My Goodness fills the earth. It flows from My Heart to you. My Goodness and Mercy follow all the days of your life when you make Me, your Shepherd.
When I AM your Shepherd, you lack nothing. I teach you to walk in the path of My Name.
My Goodness doesn’t allow you to live in passivity or darkness. My Goodness is like the lightning bolt that strikes the hearts of the people deep and reveals those hidden secret places to you.
Ask for My Goodness to fall on your life, your family, your workplace, over your nation, and wherever the soles of your feet tread upon.”
Activation : God promised us that we do not lack anything, however, we must make The LORD our Shepherd. Ask Holy Spirit to show you whether you have allowed JESUS to be your true Shepherd. Look for the meaning of the word SHEPHERD on various resources and study this word and apply it as mentioned above.
Psalm 23:1 (NIV) “The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”
2 Corinthians 9:8-9 (TPT) “Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything — every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.”
8 December, 2022 The Coming Season
“Don’t be alarmed with fear when you hear of wars, sickness, or famine. Did I not say that these things must happen? As challenges come into the days and months ahead, let your focus be on me and on me alone. Draw into Me and into the quiet place so that I can comfort you, lead you, and guide you into this next season.
The stage is being set for a glorious return, but much is still to be done. There will always be an opportunity to fear, to faint, to give up, but I AM reminding you to keep your focus off of the earthly distractions and onto Me. When you do feel fear trying to creep in on your thoughts, day or night, draw away with Me. Become one with me as I show you My Peace. I will give you instruction on how to move through this season as you put your focus solely on Me.
Discernment is key!
Oneness with me is key!
You will not be unsteady or shaken when you are prepared from within by spending time with Me. I will strengthen and prepare you with more and far better than any type of preparation you can do alone or by advice from others.
Let Me have this time with you.
Trust Me to care for you and know the plans I have for you are good. Allow Me to be the centre of your thoughts, your actions, and your decisions.”
Ephesians 4:3-6 (AMP) “Make every effort to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the bond of peace [each individual working together to make the whole successful]. There is one body [of believers] and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when called [to salvation]— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all who is [sovereign] over all and [working] through all and [living] in all.”
Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP) “”For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,” says The LORD, “plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.””
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.]””
7 December, 2022. Emmanuel
Oh, how we read that verse in Matthew 1:23 each year at this holiday season and gloss over it not fully understanding the power and might of God found in this passage.
But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of The LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by The LORD through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, ‘God with us.’” (Matthew 1:20-23 NKJV)
Consider that the virgin birth was prophesied more than four hundred years before Mary gave birth to Jesus. Consider the human cost of the suffering Jesus endured upon the Cross at Calvary and consider the intervention of God himself to raise Jesus up from the dead after three days in the tomb.
Selah and pause a moment and take that in.
Take in what it took to make the promise that Emmanuel – God with us – a reality.
And yet the thrice Holy God made it possible for us to proclaim that God is with us. The promise of Holy Spirit is for all who believe that Christ rose from the dead and it is this Holy Spirit that is God with us.
He lives in our hearts; He is intertwined with our spirit and we are one for all eternity. Oh, what a mystery that God would love us so much as to share himself with us and be with us always, oh what a glorious mystery, Emmanuel – God with us.
John 3:14-17 (NKJV) “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
John 14:19-21 (NKJV) “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
John 14:26 (NKJV) “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
6 December, 2022. Bonfire to Beacon
“You cannot be a beacon without first being a bonfire.
Come and cast yourself onto My Fire. Pour out all the things you try to hide from Me. Pour out what you try to hide from the world. Nothing can be hidden from Me, I already know and love you anyway. Pour out all that is in you and I will purify you in My Fire.
Meet Me in the hidden hours and let My Holy Spirit fill you. Meet Me one on one and tremble before Me in reverence. For as you spend time with Me, I will transform you from a bonfire into a beacon, setting you high to be a light. For you were made to be visible, serving as a sign which points to Me.”
Activation : Ask God how you can become more vulnerable with Him.
Matthew 5:15 (ESV) “Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.”
5 December 2022. Refiner’s Fire
“Do you wonder why you feel rejected? Is your mind racing to understand why you weren’t seen by others?
My beautiful Bride, haven’t you read that man sees the outward appearance but I, your LORD, see your heart?
A heart that worships Me when no one is watching.
A heart that wants to obey Me no matter what it looks like.
A heart that wants to walk in purity.
A heart that wants to live in submission and surrender.
I kept you in hidden moments to develop your character because I chose you.
You are my best wine, processed and crushed through My Hands for My Purpose. Man chose the wine by seeing how it looks on the outside, assuming that is the best wine.
I keep the best wine until last as I propel them to the next level.
You gave Me, your YES.
I take you from glory to glory in reshaping you, redesigning you, and recalibrating you.
I cried out, “FATHER, Your Will be done,” as I was being crushed in the winepress, and the oil was released from Me to pour in you and on you.
Do not be afraid of My Fire!”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to show you what kind of season you are in. If you find that you are in a season of character formation, give thanks to The LORD for what He is doing in your life. Talk to Holy Spirit about where you are being developed and ask for strength to wait for His timing in the process.
1 Sam 16:7 (MSG) “But God told Samuel, “Looks aren’t everything. Don’t be impressed with his looks and stature. I’ve already eliminated him. God judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; God looks into the heart.””
Isaiah 53:7-8 (AMPC) “He was oppressed, [yet when] He was afflicted, He was submissive and opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. By oppression and judgement He was taken away; and as for His generation, who among them considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living [stricken to His death] for the transgression of my [Isaiah’s] people, to whom the stroke was due?”
2 December 2022. Fear
To know God is to fear Him.
Romans 1:20 (NIV) “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.”
“It’s time for truth. What is your excuse for not praising Me in this way? I will not reject you for being honest with me about where your heart is. I can give you a new heart, just ask.
I only want truth from your inner being. From truth between us, fear will grow. Not the kind of fear that sends you running to hide, but the kind that makes you fall into Me and give everything up for My Name.”
Psalm 89:7 (NIV) “In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.”
“Creation does not need this council because I have woven this knowledge into the very fabric of it’s being. It cannot help but respond, it has no excuse to not praise Me because it reflects Me.
Sit in the council of the holy ones and you will learn the fear of The LORD. Your faith precedes My glory, so have faith as you look and expect to see Me all around.
Creation looks and witnesses My glory and vibrates, even shakes with awe day and night. It does not, cannot rest from this posture of trembling.
Creation responds to Me in purity. Submit yourself to My Council and let us teach you about fear, awe, wonder, and glory. Who is this council?”
Isaiah 11:2 (NIV) “The Spirit of The LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of The LORD.”
“As the Israelites looked at the bronze snake in faith and were healed of the snake bites and as My son was raised on the cross so that all can look on Him in faith that He atoned for the transgression of man, all you need is faith to walk in fear.
When you walk in fear you worship Me in My fullness. When you walk in fear you will see everything through the lens of expectation and wonder, and that is what it is to live by the Spirit, that is what it is to live in the fear of The LORD.”
Activation : “Today, ask to be counselled by My holy ones so you can walk in The Fear of The LORD.”
1 December 2022. Awe
“Holy, holy, holy is The LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!”
“Have you worshipped Me as My angels worship Me? Have you worshipped Me as creation worships Me? They see me on my throne and cry “Holy” they feel the ground shake and they fall on their face before Me.”
Isaiah 6:1-4 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw The LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.
Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with tow he flew.
And one cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is The LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”
And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
“I AM Yahweh Sabaoth, The LORD of hosts, God of angel armies. My very Name declares My Reign over heaven and earth and over all armies, earthly and spiritual.
If My Angel Army praises Me with cries of “Holy holy holy” then you My earthly army are to praise Me in the same way!
My glory fills the temple followed by wide eyed awe. The kind of awe that is only imparted by the council of My spirit.
Have you ever felt awe? Have you ever quieted yourself in My presence long enough to let awe build in your spirit?
Awe is an ever increasing unseen substance in the spirit that speaks of My glory and feeds your obedience and reverence.
The longer you sit in awe of Me you will be shaken as the doorposts and cry holy with the angels. When you live in awe of Me you will see My Glory everywhere.”
Activation : Ask Me to reveal to you My Glory in every moment, connect with My heart, My emotion and My holiness and you will begin to walk in awe daily. Today allow My wonder and awe to grip you.
Psalm 19:1 (NIV) “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”
Luke 5:26 (NIV) “Everyone was gripped with great wonder and awe, and they praised God, exclaiming, “We have seen amazing things today!””
