30 June 2020. Victory!
“Take heart, for I have overcome the world!
Look upon the victory that is already yours in Jesus. Grab hold of the mark of freedom that is already on your hands. You have broken out, you have been set apart and you have been brought to high places. It’s time to fully walk in your victory!
No longer do I want you waiting for your victory as if it is ‘some time in the future’ when ‘the timing is right’ . My timings are set in the Heavens. I have spoken over you to already be victorious and to already be healed and delivered. No more waiting and wondering. Take a hold of that which is already yours!”
1 Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 John 5:4 “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”
Psalms 96:11 “Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it.”
29 June 2020. First the Water, then the Fire!
“I AM watering the earth with My living water. This is to purge the soil and break it up. The water is holy as I AM Holy. I rain it down on all flesh. Those who have ears to hear and eyes to see tremble at the coming of purity and righteousness. My Water burns sin out of the earth like acid. Then the fire will come; it will spring up out of the purged soil. Holy flames, hot and white, will leap up. I will saturate my people with consuming fire.
What do I require of you? Step out of the crowd. Stand with me. Stride out into the light. Welcome the water and the fire. I have given you your life as a prize. Trust Me. Declare Me. Shout about Me! I will demonstrate that I AM the God who answers by fire.”
Luke 3:16 “John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.”
Isaiah 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”
26 June 2020. My Warriors!
I hear the Spirit of the Lord say, “In these times of uncertainty and even fear, I want you, My Children to stand in who I have called you to be! My Warriors! You may not always feel strong, but you don’t live by feelings. You live by faith! That faith is in Me. I haven’t failed you yet and I’m not about to start now. It is not faith in you or in those around you, but in Me! I have called you and equipped you, so start to believe in the ‘YOU’ I see and not the ‘you’ YOU see.”
You may need to take some time to remind yourself of whose you are and whom you serve! Maybe even pray, “Lord, help me see the me you see and not the me I see!”
Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.”
Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
25 June 2020. King of Glory
I hear and see the nations trembling; I hear and see the old structures and strongholds crumbling. The Kingdom of Heaven is bursting forth; it is coming through and advancing on the earth. I hear the sounds of a great host singing the praises of the King, the King of Glory. Their song of worship is also a song of warfare, for we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against powers, principalities and authorities that have taken nations and people captive. I see the King sending out emissaries to knock on the doors of your heart, to invite you to join His Army, to join the advancing Kingdom.
Today, He knocks on the door of your heart, will you open it to Him and accept His offer? Will you open the door and step out into the thrilling lifestyle of following the King wherever He will take you? Will you cry out and declare, “Make way for the King of Glory!”? He is inviting you to join in the effort to expand the Kingdom and to bring many before the King so that they may accept His offer of salvation! Be bold and step out, be courageous and submit to being His hands and feet on the earth!
Romans 12:1-2 HCSB “Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.”
Matthew 28:18-20 HCSB “Then Jesus came near and said to them, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” “
24 June 2020. The Bridegroom’s Voice
“As I look down on My created universe, I see humankind on the earth, and I AM pleased with My handiwork. My Bride, My Church, you are created to worship Me and do greater works than I did on earth.
You ask, “How can this be?”
You will do it through your voice. Through words, praying, singing and laughing. I, your Bridegroom, the love of your life, look over your shoulder every moment longing for you to hear MY Voice, to echo it round the world.
So, listen for personal words, for your family, your village, your nation. Clear out your ears from the circumstances of the world and expect to hear Me. Get ready to be My Voice, My Bride.”
John 6:63a TPT: “The Holy Spirit is the one who gives life, that which is of the natural realm is of no help. The words I speak to you are Spirit and life.”
John 3:29 TPT “He is the Bridegroom, and the bride belongs to him. I am the friend of the Bridegroom who stands nearby and listens with great joy to the Bridegroom’s voice. And because of his words my joy is complete and overflows!”
John 14:12 TPT “I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do — even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!”
23 June 2020. A Day of Breakthrough!
“My Body is waking up to its breakthrough today! It is an exciting day in the heavenlies. There are those who will wake up to money in their bank accounts. Others will wake up to jobs they thought they had lost. There are those who will wake up to the promise of children in their wombs when they thought they would have none. And more have woken up to their healing abundance!
This truly is the day of breakthrough! I AM moving supernaturally, and I have dispatched My Angels to bring about breakthroughs in families across the nations. Will you partner with them and invite them to dwell? Will you believe that today is your day of breakthrough?”
John 14:14 “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I WILL do it.”
Genesis 24:40a “He replied, ‘The Lord, before whom I have walked faithfully, will send his angel with you and make your journey a success,”
Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
22 June 2020. It’s time to bask and delight in My Joy!
Father God has seen you dipping in and out of worry, fear and anxiety over your life. He has seen it consume your mind and body. Today, He is asking you to turn your passion to Him instead of focusing on your fears.
The Spirit of Te LORD says, “How long will you listen to the fear and the lies? If you listen to My Voice more, you will be able to see My perspective on things. Choose to keep your passion for Me boiling hot and bubbling over so that you radiate with the glow of My Spirit and My Joy overflows from you. Let Me fill you and give you the gift of joy today!”
Enter into this promise today by surrendering your fears and worries to God. Ask Him what you need to give over to Him and see what He gives to you in return. Put on your full armour of God daily and choose to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Joy is yours today; receive it!
Romans 12:12 NLT “Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.”.
Philippians 4:4 NLT “Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again — rejoice!”
19 June 2020. My Bread
“Are you awed that I have called you into the Kingdom for such a time as this? Are you breath-taken that I, the King of Glory, the Creator of all things, have set you in place to be My Ambassador — to act on my behalf in this world, backed by all the resources of heaven? I have placed my seal upon you — you are marked out as one who carries my authority. Pause, and think of this!
Now open your mouth wide and I will fill it. Do not be afraid of those who disagree with My Word. You bring solutions, fresh and aromatic as new-baked bread. I have made the people hungry for My Word. They are desperate to taste and see that I AM good. Open your windows! Let the fragrance of My Word be released! After you have eaten, you will have plenty left over to feed the world.”
Ruth 2:14 ESV “And at mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come here and eat some bread and dip your morsel in the wine.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed to her roasted grain. And she ate until she was satisfied, and she had some left over. “
Judges 7:13 ESV “When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”
18 June 2020. Surrender
“Surrender your desires. Surrender what you want to see happen. Surrender your plans, your ideals, your dreams and visions. Bring them to the altar.
Your imaginations breed life-giving transformation as a canvas I paint upon to bring about change and strategy. They are a blank page where I write My Story, so bring them to Me and allow me to break down what you want to see.
Let me show you what I want to see. Bring forth that idealistic plan of yours, or even your idea of realistic, and let Me show you the age-defying, resource-defying, possibility-defying ideas. Let Me take you on a journey. Let’s spend time together mapping out a business, a market, a lesson plan, or a creative project.
Spend time today with God, laying down piece by piece your desires and dreams before Him. He wants to mold them, refine them and bless them!”
Proverbs 19:21′ “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
Romans 12:1 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship.”
17 June 2020. Divine Family
Look around and ask yourself, “Who is my brother, who is my sister? Who are my friends and family?” The widow, the orphan and the foreigner are your brother, sister, friends and family.
The Spirit of The LORD says, “I hear the global weeping, the weeping coming from those that have been ignored and marginalized. My heart grieves over their grief, sorrow and pain.
Church, you are My Hands and My Feet, you are My Body on the earth. Will you not wipe their tears and help them to stand? Will you not open your arms of love and welcome them home?
For I will have a Bride who has made herself ready, a Bride who comes from every tribe, tongue, nation and people group. I will see the nations and peoples set free, and My Desire is to use you, My Children.
Does my Word not say that I AM sending you out to all nations, does it not say that you will heal the sick and cast out the demons?
I have heard your prayers and today say to you, be My Body, take action and lay hands on those who are hurting and sick, set free the captives in the mighty Name of Jesus. For by your bold and active faith, they will know that I AM real and it is The Name of Jesus, that is above all names.”
John 13:34-35 HCSB “I give you a new commandment: love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another. By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Revelation 7:9 HCSB “After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were robed in white with palm branches in their hands.”
16 June 2020. What’s in Your Hand?
As you look about and wonder what you can do to make a difference someone’s life, your neighbourhood or city, I hear The Spirit of The LORD say, “Look at what you have. Focus on what you can do.
You can pray.
You can pick up the phone.
You can visit a neighbour.
You can give ME away!
You are not helpless, stuck or incapable.
You have much within you for I placed it there.
I have blessed you so that you in turn could bless others.
Now is the time to stretch out your hand to give your friendship. Now is the time for a listening ear, for a bag of food and a financial blessing.
Now is the time for a power-filled prayer of authority and agreement to meet the needs of those around you. Look and see what is in your hand. Then open it and release it.
Choose to boldly be My Hands and feet to meet the needs upon the earth. I have called you and equipped you. Trust that I will move as you let Me loose and expect the miraculous.”
Acts 3:6-8 “Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.”
15 June 2020. Harvest Time
I saw a beautiful orchard in the sunshine; the smell was so sweet with rows and rows of apple trees. The fruit was ripe and ready to pick.
And I heard the call to harvest: “It’s time to gather each one!”
As I responded eagerly, ready to reach up, I began to be overwhelmed with the huge task ahead. All of a sudden, I heard a rustling in the trees and I saw the wind sweep through the orchard, in and around each row of trees. As it did, the branches shook and each apple began to fall, one by one into my hand.
I then heard The Voice of The LORD in the wind say, “Look! We will harvest together!”
The choice is yours; will you answer the call to harvest? Will you feel overwhelmed by the task? Or will you be one who will join with Him, as His co-labourer? Truly, it is harvest time!
1 Corinthians 3:9 KJ “For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s field, you are God’s building.”
John 4:35-38 TPT “As the crowds emerged from the village, Jesus said to his disciples, “Why would you say, ‘The harvest is another four months away’? Look at all the people coming — now is harvest time! For their hearts are like vast fields of ripened grain — ready for a spiritual harvest. And everyone who reaps these souls for eternal life will receive a reward. And those who plant spiritual seeds and those who reap the harvest will celebrate together with great joy! And this confirms the saying, ‘One sows the seed and another reaps the harvest.’ I have sent you out to harvest a field that you haven’t planted, where many others have labored long and hard before you. And now you are privileged to profit from their labors and reap the harvest.””
12 June 2020. The Triumph of My Word
“Declare My Word over every circumstance of your life — swing the sword that takes off the head of your enemy, that pierces deception, doubt and lies, that declares and decrees victory over opposition, that radiates healing and life. I have trained your hands for battle and your fingers for war. I have taught you how to wear your armour, and how to stand and continue to stand. I have shown you what is My Good, Acceptable and Perfect Will.
I say to you, My Child, My Word is in your mouth: now broadcast! Shout it out! It is my delight to speak through you! “
Isaiah 55:11 ESV “So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
Romans 5:2b-5 TPT “What incredible joy bursts forth within us as we keep on celebrating our hope of experiencing God’s glory! But that’s not all! Even in times of trouble we have a joyful confidence, knowing that our pressures will develop in us patient endurance. And patient endurance will refine our character, and proven character leads us back to hope. And this hope is not a disappointing fantasy, because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through The Holy Spirit who lives in us!”
11 June 2020. Peace and Rest
“As in a garden, the lawn, the flowers, the bushes, shrubs and everything that grows flourish and blossom in the sunshine. But those same flowers, bushes and shrubs need the rain to water and nourish them. When that rain comes, how they come forth, how they prosper and grow.
As you allow, even invite, My Holy Spirit to come and wash over you, to go deep down into your innermost parts, to fill you, feed you, refresh you, you will indeed be refreshed, renewed and restored. You will flourish and blossom as you allow My Holy Spirit to wash over you. This is how I work. I work in peace and rest; as you allow Me to work in you, you will know My Peace and rest and you will work from peace and rest.”
Today, if you’re feeling anything but rest, if you are in the midst of a storm right now, take some time right now to tell Father God how you feel. Invite Him, who is peace, to come. As you allow His Peace to rest in you, you and He will weather the storm together. He is your anchor and He will not let you go!
Isaiah 4:6 “And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.”
Psalm 104:12-15 “The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they sing among the branches. He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work. He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate — bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.”
10 June 2020. Enter My Kingdom
The LORD has seen your turmoil. He has watched your mind going from one thing to the other as you question the things that have happened in your life and have asked why things have to be this way. You have been so close to surrendering everything to Him, but time and time again, you lose hope and can’t find the strength to stretch up even one arm to worship Him.
He says to you today, “Dear Child, I want you to enter My Kingdom, the place where you are a part of a royal priesthood, where the city is made from gold and you are strengthened by my power. Will you stop looking down at the things of the earth and allowing yourself to be sucked into the realms of social media and fantasy? Will you stop going to the door full of false gifts and false satisfaction? Will you enter My door that is full of abundance, love and freedom?”
How do you enter that door today?
Your Father says, “Come to My Door, put down your worldly idols, and eat from My Word. Soak yourself in My Word and presence; ask for the veil to be lifted. As you rest in me and seek the revelation of My Love and Kingdom, you will see and experience that My Door is better than any other door you’ve tried to enter before.
Be encouraged; there is hope ! You are loved and cherished! Enter into My Kingdom!”
Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me.”
9 June 2020. Look and See!
Look beyond the nation and look at the global Church. Look outside of your own shaking and see that you are on time with what The LORD is doing worldwide! See the saints coming together. See the new angels dispatched. See the gravity of God’s Glory descending on His People in a fresh new way. You may be feeling disjointed, out of step and out of line. But you are on time with God in this season! You are grappling with the move that The LORD is making throughout the nations. He is calling His Church into its bare-bones state — unadulterated, untarnished and desperate for His presence. Take a moment today, and recognise that you are in a global movement. You are moving with the Spirit of God to new territories. Let it wash over you today; know that He is bigger and you are part of something bigger!
Haggai 2:7 “‘I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory’, says The LORD Almighty.”
Ephesians 3:21 “To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
8 June 2020. Set Your Gaze!
“Are your eyes set on Me? Are your ears tuned into My Plans and My Words?
There is a multitude of sounds, agendas, plans, worries and fears coming at you from all sides. Which ones will you allow to occupy your time and thoughts? Which ones will you dwell on? Or will you purposefully set your eyes, ears and attention on me? I have Plans and Purposes for this time upon the earth, and I desire for my people to know what I see and think about all that’s happening. Do you want to know My Thoughts and My Plans? Do you want to join in and be a part of what I AM doing?
If so, then choose to put me first. Seek Me for Wisdom and Understanding. Seek Me for discernment. I will show you a new way to see and perceive if you will diligently set yourself in tune with Me.”
Proverbs 2:6-8 “For The LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.”
Psalm 34:4-5 “I sought The LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.”
5 June 2020. The Softness of Your Heart
“I adore the softness of your heart in your yielding to me. Today, I AM holding out My Hand for you to increase your surrender and increase in your abandon for it is a heart of flesh that can be moulded in My Hand.
Allow yourself to be vulnerable as My Heart delights over your heart. Don’t you know that I have a soft heart too? A heart that I give freely and completely to any who will accept it. Today I AM asking for a heart exchange. I’ve done My Part, will you offer your heart back?”
Ezekiel 11:19 “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.”
Deuteronomy 30:6 “The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.”
4 June 2020. Fully into the New
“Partner with Me as you come into this new season of your life! Don’t just wander in! Don’t tiptoe in! But ask Me how you should enter into the new.
I made you uniquely YOU; there is not another one of you anywhere in the world. YOU are uniquely YOU! One size does not ‘fit all’ in My Kingdom. Neither is My Will and Plan for your life the same as anyone else’s!
So ask Me how you should enter into this season that you are about to move into and don’t be watching to see how others do it. Don’t compare your journey with anyone else’s. I made them uniquely too.
From a place of rest, a place of intimacy, let us walk together into ALL I have planned for you.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in The LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.”
Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”
3 June 2020. Aloud! Aloud!
Are the birds singing louder this year?
As many of the noises & distractions in our lives have been stilled, paused or taken away, other noises are sounding louder.
I hear The LORD shout, “Aloud! Aloud! Take this time to sing louder, to declare and to decree My Truths bolder. Fill your homes, your streets, your towns with your voices! Fill the air with your praises, your prayers, your requests.
Fill the earth with the voice of My Spirit that’s within you!
Now is the time to be heard — ALOUD! Let your voices rise louder and louder ! And as you continue to make this exchange in noise levels, you will recognize Me and My Voice speaking in ways you haven’t been able to before.”
2 Samuel 22:14 NLT “The LORD thundered from heaven, the voice of the Most High resounded.”
Psalm 98:4 “Shout to The LORD, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy!”
2 June 2020. Battle Plan
“You are a warrior, fighting with all your heart, yet you say, ‘The battle is almost lost!’
You are feeling the heavy resistance and oppressive push of the enemy. You continue to fight in prayer, but the opposition seems to gather strength, while you feel your own strength guttering like a flickering candle.
My Child, you have come to this moment of crisis in order that I can shift you into a new and higher gear. The groaning and the labouring of your heart is the sign that you are ready for the surge of Revelation that will carry you into that fast lane, propel you to a speed you could never attain before.
Realise the strength that is in Me! Fix your eyes on Me, not the battle. Revelation, revelation, revelation! Victory will follow swiftly.”
Psalm 20:7 “Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in The LORD our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory!”
Psalm 92:12 “Yes! Look how you’ve made all your lovers to flourish like palm trees, each one growing in victory, standing with strength!”
1 June 2020. Jump In!
Splash! The LORD is inviting you to jump right into His Love for you, into the deep, deep wells of His Love. For so long you have had one toe in, then tried to dip your foot in to see what happens. Now is the time to let go of your fears and insecurities and to feel the joy and release of immersing your whole body in His Presence. How exhilarating it is to jump into a pool of water, to see that splash and to feel the laughter that erupts from within!
He says to you, “If you will jump into My deep well of Living Water today, you will find only the best rest. As you lay in My Presence, you will find My deep Love for you.
Will you lay down your worries and fears and take this invitation from me today? Still your heart, close your eyes and worship; ask Me to show you what those deep waters look like for you. Jump in and get drenched in My Love! You’ll no longer need to go to those places where you have depended on things other than Me for Love.”
John 4:13-14 MSG “Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst — not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.”“
