29 December 2023 Rhythm of My Heart
“My dear child, does your heart beat to the rhythm of your heart or Mine?
Does it tick in harmony with my kingdom purposes? I came that you would have life, and have it to the full, but this is not possible without alignment with both the desires of my heart for you and the timings of My Kingdom.
My Timing brings protection, placing you in the right place at the right time. It spares you the pain of unrealized dreams, meandering pathways, unnecessary obstacles, dead ends and crushing disappointments.
My Timing brings connection through intimacy with me; lifelong relationships; heaven’s opportunities; kingdom resources; financial provision; miracles and healing; vision sharers; blessing bringers; prayer warriors and angelic armies!
My Timing brings election to kingdom positions, so that my will can be done on earth as it is in Heaven. It is a key to reaching the lost and to releasing divine blessing, promotion, adventure and fulfillment in your life, for He who honours Me, I will honour. So today, dear one, remember protection, connection, election!
Draw near to me and I will draw near to you. Step in time to the rhythm of my heart for it beats with the same blood that was shed to set you free! Take my hand, ask for my timing and follow Me!”
Prayer : Dear Lord, Thank you for who you are and how much you love me. I am so sorry for the times that I have not lined myself up with your plan for my life. Today I place into your hands those areas that I have held back from you (take a moment to ask Holy Spirit what areas you need to submit to him and add them here). I ask that you would now move me and all that concerns me into complete alignment with your heart’s desire and timing for my life and I choose to receive all you have for me. Amen
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV) “For everything there is a season, and a time for everything under the sun.”
Isaiah 45:2–3 (ESV) “I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron, I will give you the treasures of darkness and hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.”
28 December 2023. Divine Understanding
“Today, beloved, I want you to know that I am on your side despite your circumstances. I AM not fighting against you and I AM not changing things despite you. My Heart is always to work all things for the good of those who love Me. When you love Me, as you do, with all of your heart, movement happens and changes take place.
Do not mistake My Actions as Me being displeased with you or begin self analysing, believing that you got it wrong. Do not mistake my movement for a lack of favour in your life; the movement and change come through favour not because of a lack of it. Embrace how My favour truly presents itself in your life.
Embrace the fullness of My Character and who I truly AM, for then you will understand some of the process I AM taking you through.
If there comes a time where you don’t understand, lean not on your own ways of thinking but in those moments choose to activate your Trust and Faith in Me.”
Activation : Sit with me today and share with me the things that trouble you. I want to know your heart’s desires and the things that trouble your mind. Tell me the things you don’t understand and allow me to bring you higher to see beyond your circumstances. As you allow us to journey in this together, I will change the way you see things and help bring your heart back into alignment with me and my rhythms.
Proverbs 3:5-8 (ESV) “Trust in The LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear The LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.”
Romans 8:28 (ESV) “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
27 December 2023. All of Me
“Each part of Me is wondrously unique, yet, we are one, always together and in sync.
I AM The Father, full of parental love for you. With Me, you have identity as My Child. I AM The Son, the friend who laid down His life to save you. With Me, you have hope, access to The Father and a Kingdom call. I AM The Holy Spirit, your helper always pursuing to fill you. With Me, you have direction, conviction and power. All of Me is wholeness, and together we are a full measure. Evil has deceived many to reject parts of Me, rendering the Body divided and weak. This is My invitation to receive all of Me.”
Prayer : Father, I repent for rejecting any part of You. Help me to see the truth of who You are so I can accept and receive all of You. I also repent for partnering with division. Teach me how to help others see the truth and accept all of You that we may operate together in unity and be that unstoppable force against evil. In Jesus’s name, amen.
Ephesians 4:4-6 (NIV) “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
Ephesians 1:18-23 (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, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”
26 December 2023. Missing Piece
“I long to bring you into the family of believers. The hurt you have faced has kept you away and isolated for far too long. It is time for restoration. Can you trust me with this part of your life? Can you allow me to show you that you belong in community with others? Your desire for connection sometimes brings heartache. Hurt does often come from those we allow in, but so does growth, love, and acceptance. Today I declare, you belong!
It is time to open your heart again and allow me to reach down to the pain and replace the hurt with My love. My love also comes through others. You belong in the grip of that love because you are a part of the body. When you are missing, part of the body is missing. It is time to reconnect again. I AM calling you out of your comfort of isolation and asking you to connect to those around you.”
Activation : You are so loved, and I want to share you with others. Let’s take some steps together. Close your eyes and imagine with me… Can you imagine belonging to a body of believers, a weekend of fun and games or maybe dinner with some friends? What would it take to make any of this a reality? Could you make a call and arrange dinner or a game night? Or just one step into a church for one service ? I believe in you; you are wanted and needed.
Jeremiah 30:17 (NKJV) “‘’For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says The LORD.”
1 Corinthians 12:24-27 (NIV) “But God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”
25 December 2023. Run from Offence
“My beloved, I know you encounter difficult people. They make you feel drained, hurt and sad. While it’s easy to take offence and respond adversely, you know that is not the Kingdom way.
Precious one, My Heart is for you to go higher.
I AM calling you to show love, kindness and patience to the hard because they need it the most. Showing them love will open their hearts to receive My Love so I can do a work in them. Closing your heart inspires contempt, giving space to the enemy so he can hurt them more. It takes nothing to love easy people, but I have set you apart to love the hard. If not you, then who? When you recognize the truth that they are acting out of wounds, your heart softens, unlocking compassion. And, when you acknowledge you have hurt people too, you are humbled to forgive and take the high road.
My Child, do not fall into the trap of offence. Remember, this is not a battle against flesh and blood, but against evil. See their worth through My eyes, and focus on your assignment with them.
My Heart is for them to experience My Love, see the truth, repent, and be set free. You expand the Kingdom with Love. Love the difficult people in your life. Do good to them, bless them, and pray that they find healing and freedom. You were once in their shoes, but thankfully you found Me. I want them to find Me, too.”
Activation : Take an account of the difficult people in your life. Choose to repent for holding onto any hurt and unforgiveness towards them. Lay it at Jesus’s feet, and allow Him to mend your wounds once and for all. Root your self-worth in God. Declare your healing, and armour up. Anticipate seeing them. Set appropriate boundaries, but make a choice now to show love, kindness and patience no matter how they treat you. Pray for their hearts and bless them, that they may find God.
Matthew 5:43-48 (MSG) “You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the supple moves of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best — the sun to warm and the rain to nourish — to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that. In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.”
2 Timothy 2:23-26 (ESV) “Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And The LORD’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.”
22 December 2023. Feast
“Receive My invitation to the big banquet!
My Child, tuck in and eat to your heart’s content. Fill yourself with the goodness of My Word. I will satisfy your hunger. Open your mouth and I will fill it with the nectar of Heaven.
There are things you have been chewing over for months without being able to digest or swallow it. Now the time has come. Expect your knowledge and revelation of scripture to increase in the next few months. As you keep feeding and mulling over the passages, it will truly become like sweet honey in your mouth.
I will grow your capacity to apply scripture to your life. I will transform the core of your inner being and give you such a deep hunger to know more. Healing joy will wash over you as you read. Supernatural wisdom will be applied to circumstances around you. Spontaneously you will bring scripture into your daily conversations and share insights at work and in your family. Let the feast begin!”
Activation : Select a story from the Bible and set aside time to study it in detail. Seek out the deeper truths from the passage and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal how it can be applied to your life. Consider getting a new concordance or a study bible for future learning.
Jeremiah 1:9 (NIV) “Then The LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.””
Jeremiah 15:16 (NIV) “When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty.”
21 December 23. White As Snow
“The work I did on The Cross was more than enough to set you free from your wrongdoings. Remember that I washed you clean once and for all. Do not doubt that you are clean. I’ve made you whiter than the whitest snow.
I have already forgiven you. Don’t think that I still hold anything against you. Let go of those thoughts and know that you are forgiven.
You are innocent. I will reveal to you the insights and wisdom you will need during this time in your life. I need you to be cunning as a serpent and harmless as a dove.
The enemy has tried to accuse you, but I have spoken up on your behalf in the courtroom of heaven. I AM a righteous judge and I will crush all allegations made against you. Allow Me to be your great defender. Hear My Words once again: You are innocent!”
Activation : Read the scriptures below out loud. Insert your own name to declare the truths over yourself. Continue to declare it until you feel the words settle in your spirit. Forgive anyone who has caused pain or harm to you or your loved ones in recent events. Ask God for His compassion and peace to refill you.
Romans 8:1-2 (ESV) “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.”
Psalm 37:6 (TLB) “Your innocence will be clear to everyone. He will vindicate you with the blazing light of justice shining down as from the noonday sun.”
Deuteronomy 32:4 (GNT) “The LORD is your mighty defender, perfect and just in all his ways; your God is faithful and true; he does what is right and fair.”
20 December 2023. Adoration
“My Child, I absolutely adore you. Will you receive that truth today?
I look upon you with great joy and it is My delight to lavish you with My Love and Affection.
Today, feel the warmth of My adoration. Stop for a minute and let Me encapsulate you with my arms. Breathe in My Love; soak in My Peace; rest in My Adoration of you.
Will you bask with Me today in the warmth of My Love for you?
Can you hear how My Heart leaps with joy at the mere thought of you?”
Activation : Take a moment to quiet yourself in your Father’s presence. If you need to worship or pray in tongues to quiet yourself, do so. As you feel yourself becoming still, posture yourself to receive the truth of how much your Father adores you. In return, reflect on how you love and adore Him as well. If you feel so inclined, read this prayer aloud:
Thank You Father, that no matter how high I climb or how low I sink, I can never be lost from your love. May I live to praise you all of my days, and may I become increasingly aware that my greatest joy is to sit in adoration at your feet. May my heart’s cry be to adore you with everything that is within me. Teach me your ways and may all that I am reflect you. For each moment of each day, may I never forget your beauty and splendour. I love you, Father, and I pray today that this love will continue to grow and flourish becoming fiery and all-consuming. Amen
Psalm 92:1-3 (TPT) “It’s so enjoyable to come before you with uncontainable praises spilling from our hearts! How we love to sing our praises over and over to you, to the matchless God, high and exalted over all! At each and every sunrise we will be thanking you for your kindness and your love. As the sun sets and all through the night, we will keep proclaiming, “You are so faithful!””
Matthew 22:37-38 (ESV) “And he said to him, “You shall love The LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.””
19 December 2023. Stand with Me
“Come up higher, above the noise, above the distractions, above the drama of everyday life. Come up higher, above the news reports, above your perspective to the place of vision.
Here, you can lay your burdens down at my feet and I will take them from you. Here, you can hear My Voice and My Will for you and I can give you what you were designed to carry, for I know the plans I have for you. Here our relationship can deepen and I can show you the depths of my heart for you and those around you. For I long to give you fresh vision and a new perspective that can only be viewed from the heights.
Come up higher and worship me above your circumstances. Let Me take you to the place that only those who follow my ways can go, where even the air is pure. Allow me to captivate you once more with the wonder of who I AM. In the place of my perspective you will find peace above the storms, rest where you are weary and renewed strength. You see, it is necessary to climb the heights so that I can show you how to truly partner with my heart and my ways to bring breakthrough on earth. I AM walking just ahead of you, leading the way… will you follow Me?”
Activation : Take a moment with Jesus and pass each of your worries and burdens to him, asking him to take them from you. Then ask Jesus if he could show you anything that is blocking your spiritual walk with him. He may bring to mind a person you need to forgive or an area you need to repent of. Take the time to deal with what he shows you. Then, as an act of faith, stand up and take a step forward, declaring, “Lord Jesus, I chose to move out of the old and follow you to new heights”. As you prophetically stand in the new position, place your hands in front of you and ask Jesus to release what he has for you today. Then rest and receive in his presence.
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.”
Psalm 18:31-33 (TPT) “Could there be any god like Yahweh? For there is not a more secure foundation than you. God, you have wrapped me in power and made my way perfect. Through you I ascend to the highest peaks to stand strong and secure in you.”
Song of Songs 2:8,10 (AMP) “”Listen! My Beloved! Behold he comes, climbing on the mountains, leaping and running on the hills”…My beloved speaks and says to me, “Arise, my love, my fair one, And come away.””
18 December 2023. Present Yourself
“When the walls of Jericho came down, who was at the front of the march? Those who played the instruments and led the charge with song and worship. Worship is one of the most powerful weapons in My Kingdom. I would have you view worship as a battlefield to fight from, pushing back the enemy’s advances.
When My People praise My Mame, things change.
When My People humble themselves, things change.
When My People posture themselves in adoration, things change.
It’s not because I need to hear how great I AM. It’s because you need to step into a place of honour and humility before your King! The one who does have the capability to order your steps, make straight your paths and defend you in times of attack. I AM the I AM and I can and will defend and preserve you. You only need to present yourself before Me, your King, and allow My Presence to guide you where you need to go.
You may not feel like worshipping, you may be tired, you could be grieving, perhaps you feel alone. Worship, however, is not just in music for it is a life that you live. It is a lifestyle of praise and adoration, of obedience and joy, kindness and compassion.
Present yourself to Me today in a posture of worship.”
Activation : Study Joshua 6 and see how God provided for the children of Israel as they walked around the city walls. When it was accompanied with faith and obedience and with a battle cry raised to God to do what He instructed them to do, the walls came down. So as they will in your life as you do what The Father instructs you to do and you live a lifestyle of worship to The Father and apply faith to what He is asking of you.
Isaiah 25:1 (AMP) “Oh Lord, You are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise and give thanks to Your name; for You have done miraculous things, plans formed long, long ago, [fullfilled] with perfect faithfulness.”
Psalms 46:10 (AMP) “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I AM God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”
15 December 2023. Give Me Your Grief
“Many of you have hearts heavy laden with grief. I recognize this.
Today, I ask you to put your hand into Mine and trust Me to lead you through this process. Let Me have every last bit of this pain that wrecks you. You are not meant to walk through this process alone. I AM here, wanting to fill those voided spaces. It’s okay to grieve; it is a necessary process in life. It can not, however, become a place that you live in and never leave. You were made for love and joy and that I can give back to you when you allow Me into your most broken places, even where it feels impossible for you to feel joy.
Do you trust Me? Will you give Me all the broken and lost places of your heart?
Put your hand in Mine and let Me have every part of you, especially the painful ones, because I can take everything and turn it into something beautiful.”
Activation : Come into the presence of The LORD. Put on some worship music and begin to worship The LORD for His goodness. Just find one thing to be grateful for and thank Him. See yourself packing away into a box all the deep grief and suffering that you have been carrying. As you do so, see yourself releasing the pain. See it going into the box, close it and you give the box to Jesus. Allow Him to take these things and replace them with joy, peace, and everlasting love. See yourself receiving these beautiful gifts in exchange.
Matthew 11:28-30 AMP “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”
Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) “To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that The LORD has planted for his own glory.”
14 December 2023. The Good Shepherd
“I AM The Good Shepherd. My aim is not to scold you or lecture you. My goal is always to help you advance and succeed. Don’t interpret a setback as a disaster. Don’t panic during an extended dry spell. Instead, stick with your commitment when the going gets tough. My staff will guide you and give clear directions.
My Rod will protect you when the enemy is attempting to attack. And just as I shepherd My People, I want you to look out for others around you. Care for them. Be patient and wait for people to turn around. Serve with enthusiasm. Lead by example. Nurture my people and give them spiritual food. Encourage them. Speak the truth in love. Lift up your eyes and see the flock around you, whether small or large in numbers. Search them out. Follow my example and lead them on the right path, to my pasture land where they can find rest.”
Activation : “The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” What does it mean to you personally that The LORD has laid down His life for you? Would you be willing to do the same for others? Ask The Holy Spirit who the people are that you could serve or lead in this season. Is there someone you could mentor? Is there a person or a group that you could bring guidance and direction to? Pray for wisdom in how to go about it.
John 10:11-14 (NIV) “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.”
John 15:13 (NIV) “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
13 December 2023. Burn for Me
“I call you today to give yourself over to Me to allow Me, the God who is an all consuming fire, fill your life, your senses, your nostrils, and your whole being. Let the fire consume you. Give yourself over to me utterly.
In the surrender you receive the promises I have to give to you — not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit. Don’t put off surrendering to Me. Dive in and enjoy the glory I have for you! Surrender comes from a heart of joy and gladness: gratitude is in every part of the act of giving. As you give yourself to Me I give Myself to you. Prepare to receive all this. Expect my goodness.”
Activation : This is God’s invitation to reset your internal dialogue with gratitude. To do that, go to the source of all gratitude: rejoice in who He is. The God of all good gifts, the God who made everything, the God who is your safety, the God who is your gladness!
Take time today to encounter Him today saying, ‘I thank you that you are…’ and then declare an aspect of who He is. Maybe work through the list of His names in the Bible.
As you put yourself in a posture of rejoicing, you are putting yourself in a posture of surrender – the posture in which God will come to you with everything He has for you, because it is a posture of complete faith, attentiveness and obedience.
As you thank Him about every aspect of who he is, notice when you come across an aspect where you hold back or are a little unsure about feeling how good God is. You need to understand that part of His character, His goodness, and set yourself rejoicing in Him, so ask Him to reveal it to you and dig deep to find out about it. Let your heart be soft – let His promises and answers arrive in whatever form he wants them to take. Allow His answer to be something you weren’t expecting. Expect to see His goodness.
This is your strategy this season for how you choose to be filled with more faith and so live in God’s goodness.
Luke 18:8 (NLT) “I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”
Isaiah 58:8 (NIV) “Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of The LORD will be your rear guard.”
12 December 2023. Soak in Peace
“Let My Peace wash over you. When you feel that the day brings anything that moves you out of My Peace and into turmoil, or your mind is bombarded with thoughts that steal My Peace from you, centre yourself on me and come back. My Peace can and will change the atmosphere that you are in. f you feel My Peace slipping away from you, remember to meditate on my word, ask me for wisdom, and call upon your spirit to rise.
Do not listen to the lies of the enemy that would suck you into an endless web of exhaustion. Speak My Word into the atmosphere and with My Word and My Power given to you, silence the loud, lying words of the enemy.
My Peace I give to you!”
Prayer : Heavenly Father, I declare your peace over me right now. I call every spirit not in alignment with you to be silenced! I centre my thoughts and my being on your peace and ask you Holy Spirit to give me wisdom, peace, and courage. I declare every fear and lie of the enemy in my thoughts and my life broken off as I centre myself on you and your word.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
John 14:27 (NIV) “Peace I leave with you; My Peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Philippians 4:7 (NIV) “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
11 December 2023. Ashes
“My Child, sometimes you view your life as nothing but a heap of ashes but I see opportunity! Opportunity to mark your life with a crown of beauty, flooded with a downpour of joy. I see opportunity to give you garments of joyful worship, causing you to reach out and take hold of the blessings I’ve already poured out on you, rejoicing in your journey.
This crown of beauty I AM talking about looks like light, displaying The Truth of Who I AM. This Crown draws people to Me and changes Nations. I love to see you wearing this Crown. I love to see you using it — the authority I have given you, delightful and strong, sharp and well-formed.
This is the moment I have chosen to call you to attention, to focus on the situation you are in: see every particle of that pile of ash. Count them. Encounter the brokenness: don’t hold back! Mourn it, pouring out all your ashes to Me.
And this I have promised, that I will give you the Crown of beauty for those ashes. Therefore, give each one of those ashes to Me! Leave nothing out! Hand every one of them over.”
Activation : Sometimes we don’t believe that God will really give us a glorious crown of beauty. So, we hide that ash — the painful and disappointing results of the past — and move on to a new day. Instead, we must give those ashes to God. We have to experience our real situation fully in order to encounter our real God fully. So get on your knees before him and mourn that which has gone wrong and is not fixed yet . Open up to God. Write down the three things that are the greatest ash heaps in your life and talk them out with him, telling him all the emotions that you feel about them and why. This is giving the ashes to him. And the crown will follow — His promise.
Isaiah 61:3 (BSB) ” . . to console the mourners in Zion – to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of The LORD, that He may be glorified.
Isaiah 62:3-4 (BSB) “You will be a crown of glory in the hand of The LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God. No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for The LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.”
8 December 2023. Choose the Real Me
“My people, your gaze is too earthbound. Lift your eyes, not just occasionally or when reminded. It is because of My Strength and Perfection that I AM the only God that you need. Allow your eyes to hold My Gaze, adoring Me in humbleness, pouring out your trembling hope at My Feet. It’s the best place to be.
Choose the real Me; the ‘joy in sorrows deliverer’, the one who wants you even when you don’t desire Me. Serve knowing I do test people: remember Abraham and Isaac, whilst reminding yourself that My everlasting Arms are underneath you. Grasp and hold Me as I dwell in and among you who believe through My Son’s sacrifice. All powers are under My Feet.
Your voice is sweetness to Me, your seeking eyes delight me and I long to carry your wounds and cares. Though I AM far above all that you face, never forget that I choose to inhabit you by My strong, sensitive Holy Spirit, beyond all human understanding.
How can others see who I AM? Show them over and over. Demonstrate, vigorously and powerfully, the utter mystery of healing, miracles and My Kingdom. You have been admitted into My vast Kingdom and are My Army Agents on earth.”
Activation : In John 6 the disciples could not accept that Jesus had come down from heaven. Are there parts of the bible that you do not accept? Ask God if or where you have a view of Him that attempts to humanise him, before repenting and choosing to accept what He says.
John 6:60-63 (NRSV) “When many of his disciples heard it, they said, ‘This teaching is difficult; who can accept it? But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, ‘Does this offend you? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life. The flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.’”
Job 11:7 (NIV) “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?”
7 December 2023. A Call To Worship
“There is an imminent call to pursue Me in Worship! Get up and Praise, Praise, Praise! Worship, Worship, Worship! Clothe yourself with Praise! Do not be slack in this. Don’t just listen to worship music. Sing out loud. Pray fervently. Worship extravagantly.
As we move into a new epoch in history, your worship will become deeply significant. This is a call to stand firm and praise in every circumstance. To take extended time alone with Me and give praise with all your heart, mind, and soul.
Remove the external rituals and come before Me exactly as you are. Linger. Stay in My Presence a while longer.
As you Worship, you will hear my heartbeat more clearly. My Presence will be released and bring deep transformation. Your focus will steer away from yourself. It will slow you down and remind you of what truly matters. It will feed your soul. Align your heart with the true nature of My Spirit.”
Activation : Think of ways you can express sincere and heartfelt worship to God. It may not be through song, but can include things like:
- Adoring his majesty
- Revering his power
- Take a posture of humble respect before his holiness
- Declaring his mercy
- Praising him for his benefits
- Thanking him for his unspeakable love
Psalm 100:4 (NIV) “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise His name.”
John 4:23-24 (NIV) “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
6 December 2023. Behold
“Beloved, why are you hiding? Why are you avoiding My gaze? Do you not know that the blood of My precious son was shed for you, so that you can walk with your head held high?
The veil is removed that separated you and I so that you can come freely into My Presence. Do not let Satan’s fear and lies fill the space where it once hung, for it was torn down at great cost. My Heart’s Desire is for greater intimacy with you. Do not be afraid to come to Me, for I AM faithful and just, and if you confess your sins to Me, I will forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.
Approach The Holy Ground of My Presence knowing that you will be fully received and are fully loved! Let Me show you My Glory that you may display it to the nations. For My Son died that all might know Me. Today, take time, remain in My Presence, and be transformed by more Glory!”
Activation : Find a quiet place and a comfortable position. You may want to sit, kneel, lie down or put on background worship music. Begin to wait on God and allow Him to draw you into his presence. As you do, ask Holy Spirit to reveal to you anything that is hindering your relationship. If something comes to mind, bring this to Him. It may involve handing worries or circumstances over, repenting or forgiving people. It may be an area that needs his healing touch. Tell him about it and invite Him to come and heal you. Then ask God to draw you closer to Him than you’ve ever been before. As you feel his presence, choose to remain in that place of receiving and allow Him to minister to you.
Mark 15:37-38 (AMP) “And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed out His life. And the curtain [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.”
Psalm 3:3 (NIV) “But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.”
2 Corinthians 3:18 (ESV) “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of The LORD, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from The LORD who is the Spirit.”
5 December 2023. Refuge
“Change is upon you! “How shall I cope?” you ask yourself. Remember, in the middle of the raging sea my voice stopped the storm.
In the middle of their slavery, My Plan redeemed the Israelites. In the middle of self-wrought destruction, I saved you.
Now I AM redeeming My Church, and in all the tumultuous uproar of redemption, I AM with you.
Look at Me, not the threats that fly past your face in the middle of this chaos. Look at Me! I will save you and give you rest, bringing you into the land of promises that I have joyfully given to you.
Remember, you have my hope as an anchor for the soul. Now anchor your soul, so that you will not be swayed. Go forward unintimidated by what surrounds you.”
Activation : We are the people of God and He alone is our refuge and fortress. Let this be a demonstration of the power of God’s love: that whenever challenged, you will declare that Jesus has given you full life, full healing, nothing broken, missing or damaged. Speak life over all your life. Wherever you feel there may be an area that has less than the full abundance, declare with the authority of Jesus that you will have full life in that area.
Psalm 62:1-2 (BSB) “In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.”
Philippians 1:27-28 (BSB) “Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending side by side for the faith of the gospel, without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.”
4 December 2023. Winds of Change
“My beloved people, you were not created to be static. You were not created to set yourself down in the place where you feel comfortable and stay there. For surely by now you know that the fullness of your security must be found in Me. I say this today for you must see that I have released my winds of change upon the earth. These winds will blow away the dust and cobwebs and expose what needs to be uprooted.
Furthermore, as these winds blow, they will awaken within my people the passion which has been lying dormant. The passion to pursue me with great determination and resilience, regardless of the risk and cost.
My beloved ones, will you allow my winds of change to blow through you? Will you allow it to expose the old things which need to go while breathing life into the fresh things you are carrying?”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to show you these heavenly winds blowing over the earth. What is it doing? How is it impacting the area you live in? How is it impacting you personally? Journal about what Holy Spirit shows you.
Jeremiah 10:12-13 (NIV) “But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.”
Psalm 18:21-24 (TPT) “I will follow his commands and I’ll not sin by ceasing to follow him, no matter what. For I’ve kept my eyes focused on his righteous words, and I’ve obeyed everything that he’s told me to do. I’ve been blameless before him and followed all his ways, keeping my heart pure. And so Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, because I kept my heart clean before his eyes.”
1 December 2023. Preparation
“The soldiers stand ready for battle on both sides.
The expanse between the camp is no longer a vast area.
We march forward, My child, we march forward.
Gird your loins, cover your chest.
Pick up that shield and bang it with My sword of truth.
Keep the helmet fastened as it protects you from the fiery darts of the enemy.
Victory is ever so near, but you must stay the course!
Listen and heed My commands.
Do not get lost in thought.
Do not allow the enemy to thwart you from the pathway.
My angels stand charge.
You are safe. You are protected. You are Mine!”
Activation : Just as a soldier in the military prepares for war, children of God must also prepare for battles of the mind and spirit. This requires spending daily time with Jesus. Assess the time you’re spending with Him. Make a plan and follow through today to seek His word, His face, and ask Him to remove any fears or barriers that keep you from being battle ready.
Ephesians 6:13-17 (KJV) “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God . . . “
Joshua 10:19 (NLT) “The rest of you continue chasing the enemy and cut them down from the rear. Don’t give them a chance to get back to their towns, for The LORD your God has given you victory over them.”
