29 March 2024. Live Unburdened
“My child, what wonder there is for you to enjoy! While there is much concern and heaviness in the world’s atmosphere, remember that you can live above it! You are seated with Christ at my right hand. Remember the authority you carry and position yourself accordingly. You can know my timing and recognize the seasons without becoming burdened and undone.
Indeed! While there is much challenge and heartache, I would have you focused on the wonder of my Kingdom, pulling people up high with you!
Take the stance of a victor, a conqueror! Posture yourself in wondrous awe and joyful gratitude as you remember that you have the victory.
While the world’s circumstances may weigh upon you, remember who it is that dwells within you. Let your spirit lead you through your days as you find your security in me. For as you dwell upon that truth and step into the fullness of the authority I have bestowed upon you, you will find yourself shaking the darkness and shining a light of hope upon those who need it most.”
Activation : Turn to Ephesians 1:15-22. First, read these verses over yourself as a declaration and move into a time of prayer as Holy Spirit leads. Next, ask Holy Spirit to bring to mind someone who you can pray for. Again, using Ephesians 1:15-22 as a guide, spend time praying and decreeing over their life.
Psalm 28:7-9 (TPT) “YAHWEH is my strength and my wraparound shield. When I fully trust in you, help is on the way. I jump for joy and burst forth with ecstatic, passionate praise! I will sing songs of what you mean to me! You will be the inner strength of all your people, YAHWEH, the mighty protector of all, and the saving strength for all your anointed ones. Save your people whom you love, and bless your chosen ones. Be our shepherd leading us forward, forever carrying us in your arms! “
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
28 March 2024. Priesthood
“Priesthood is a position given through Christ. It’s a call to every believer through Christ. I have called you Priest and you are mine. As you are given this position through Me, you cannot compromise, but stand as a righteous and faithful Priest.
Things come up in life that challenge conviction and bring compromise.
What has made you compromise your position as a priest?
Have pressure and fear led you to compromise? There is no condemnation, but let’s talk!
Today l AM inviting you to come and reason with Me. Let’s talk about all the layers of fear, doubt, unbelief… l know you have been robbed of your position, l AM ready to remove all these things that have affected you in operating in the fullness of Priesthood.”
Activation : Take time and invite Holy Spirit to search your heart. Ask Holy Spirit to bring to light any beliefs that have been holding you back from operating in the fullness God has for you. Start to repent for each one, declaring: “Lord forgive me for not taking my position seriously but accepting to hold on to the voice of ——–. Please remove the hold of this voice and wash me with your blood so that l am made whole in you.”
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
1 Peter 2:5 (ESV) “. . . you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
27 March 2024. Transformation
“My beloved, I recognize that there are areas in your life where you feel that you are being continually worn down. Pay attention to those areas for it is in these places of repeated grinding and chipping away that I AM refining you.
Stay with Me! Reshaping can take time but the end result is lasting and impactful change. Such refinement will not only impact you but it will change the effect you have on others, as you shine with my glory, displaying My Love to those around you. I AM establishing my precepts within you so that you can reveal Me wherever I lead you.
I have attended to every detail in your life so that you will not be lacking. In your refining you have been trained and made ready to pick up the position I have reserved for you. As you submit to Ny instructions you will stand out because you allowed me to transform you and reflect my brilliance because you didn’t resist Me. It’s here where you will bring honour to me and make my name known amongst those around you.”
Activation : Think of an area in your life where you may feel that you are struggling in. Ask The LORD for revelation on this area so that you can understand the refining work He is doing. Then, spend some time conversing with The LORD about what He is doing. Have you been resisting Him in any way? Ask for wisdom and counsel on how to best partner with what He is doing in your life.
Colossians 3:17 (ESV) “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of The LORD Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NASB) “And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”
26 March 2024. Keepers of Light
“In these days of darkness, I AM looking for Light Keepers from My Church.
I AM calling you to shine My Light in the darkness; to warn My People of the perils that lurk in the shadows; to expose the jagged rocks of the enemy lying in wait to ground the helpless; to illuminate safe passage for those seeking the shelter of the harbour.
Direct The Light to where I tell you, for I see everything that tries to hide in the darkness. Nothing is beyond My gaze. Allow Me to train your eyes to discern the dangers so none are lost and reveal the counterfeit so that none are deceived.
As My Light Keeper, do not fear the storm when it sweeps in or be overwhelmed by the buffeting of the waves. When you are fastened strong like a limpet to Me, the Eternal Rock, the tempest will not overcome you and my light will shine ever brighter.
Remember, you are My Witness to The Light and the darkness will not prevail.”
Activation : Pray to Him for strength and encouragement because being a keeper of His Light means being exposed. As you stand firm in His Spirit, do not be swayed by what is going on around you but let His Light boldly shine out so that people are saved from disaster and your Heavenly Father is glorified.
Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV) “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 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. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Psalm 119:129-30 (MSG) “Every word you give me is a miracle word — how could I help but obey? Break open your words, let the light shine out, let ordinary people see the meaning.”
John 1:4-5 (NIV) “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
25 March 2024. Familiarity
“My beloved, I encourage you today to begin preparing your heart to step out into the new wave of My Spirit. Wipe off the familiarity with the old, as it has held you back and not allowed you to fully step forward. The enemy would like to have a hold on you by keeping you grounded in the familiar but I say, “I AM doing a new thing!”
I know you have been hesitant to step forward but trust that full deliverance is coming so you can embrace the new. Old thoughts and patterns will be swept away by My love for you. As you sit in My Presence and behold Me, I will begin to bring a new wave of my revelation that will penetrate your own being and place My Truths within you. Brace yourself, as a new way of doing things is coming.
You will begin to see differently, act differently, and change in ways which will surprise but empower you.”
Activation : Ask The LORD to reveal any areas in your life where He wants you to step out of familiarity and ask Him what new thing He has for you. This could be familiar thoughts, familiar people, familiar places around you, etc. Ask Him for strategy on how to do this and declare that you are stepping out of the old and into the new!
Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
22 March 2024. Hand in Hand
“Today, My Child, come and walk with me on the beach. Take a look at the sea. Do you see the waves, agitated and tossed by every wind of change and every rumour of disaster?
But here, with Me, is calmness. Where is your heart? Is it calm, here, with Me? Or is it agitated, there, amongst the waves in the sea?
Where do you feel unstable? What is it that succeeds in agitating you? Come now, My child, tell Me, for there is doubt at the root of this agitation. Confess where you haven’t trusted Me and make peace today with trusting me in that area.
Take My hand and let me draw you out to the water. Then, do the same for your brothers, who are doubting in the sea. Catch their hands and remind them they are on firm ground in Me. Then walk, hand in hand with Me.
Feel the sand under your feet. Feel the firm and soft, welcoming ground under your feet. As My faithfulness, My true words, and the Kindness I have promised in oath to you, reassure you, welcome you, hold you, sustain you.
Feel the solidity of what will not dawn. Yes, this world is turbulent but this is not the end for I AM the great redeemer. And oh, how beautiful is my creation. It is almost ready to arise in a new day.
Remember, I am your everlasting home, where We dwell together, forever. Come, My child, walk hand in hand, with Me.”
James 1:5-8 (ESV) “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from The LORD; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
Revelation 21:1-3 “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.””
21 March 2024. Dispel the Mist
“My beautiful Warrior Bride, stand with me on the mountain top for there is mist in the valleys. What has caused the mist?
My Bride, you have grown too comfortable in the valleys and lost your warrior edge. Worldly ways, wisdom and strategies have become so accepted that you have lost sight of the greater truths of my unlimited Kingdom. When your income dictates your generosity you lose sight of my unlimited resources, when your ‘to-do list’ dictates your time you lose sight of my life-giving, spirit- empowering presence, when opinions of others dictates your actions you lose sight of the true freedom and power of following my Spirit’s leading, when you pull back from others you lose sight of the power of the united body of Christ.
I have not made you for the valleys.
See me leading you upwards and out of the mist, into a clear and broad space. From this place of clear vision command the mist to leave, watch it disperse, replaced by glorious sunlight. Be the warrior I have made you to be.”
Activation : Stand with Jesus on the mountainside and see the mist in the valleys. Ask where you have partnered with worldly thinking over Kingdom thinking. Write down what he shows you. Then tearing the paper, declare out loud “I break agreement with this pattern of thinking.” Spend time with the Holy Spirit asking him to renew your thinking with the thoughts and strategies of Heaven.
Romans 8:6-8 (ESV) “For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”
Jeremiah 33:3 (AMP) “Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.”
Habakkuk 3:19 (NIV) “The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.”
20 March 2024. Inside Out
“My beloved, In these days of shaking, it is vital that you live from a place of rest in the finished work of the cross. The enemy is a defeated foe!
You have everything you need through your life union with my Son Jesus to advance The Kingdom by living in victory. Take your stand! How the world needs this!
To put on the Armour of God is not merely a daily devotional exercise or box that must be ticked in testing times. It is a posture of the heart that is consciously aware by faith of the life of Christ on the inside. It is a mind that is renewed by the word, an inner being strengthened by truth. It is peace that overcomes as My love is shared with family and friends. This love is the very root and source of your life.
You are seated in Heavenly Places with Christ and I need you to live as one who has all power and authority to rule and reign with Him. Live from the inside out, not from the outside in.
Let my peace, power and presence flow from your inner being, transforming the world around you by changing lives.”
Activation : Sit with The LORD and read Ephesians 6 on the Armour of God. Ask Holy Spirit to show you where there are chinks in your armour. Are you living with unbelief? Do you need more time in the Word? Are there lies that need to be exposed and replaced with Truth? Repent where you need to and ask The LORD to fill you afresh with faith and a renewed vision of what you look like in the Spirit wearing the armour of God!
Ephesians 6:13-17 (NLT) “Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armour so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armour of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
2 Corinthians 10:4 (AMPC) “For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds . . . “
19 March 2024. No Limits
“I have seen you work hard to expand your faith and I AM happy and proud of the outcome. But now is the time to take off your containment glasses.
It is the time to dream with Me, stretching beyond what you have ever imagined for your life and that of the people around you.
Is there any limit to what I can do? So have fun with me and allow me to take you on a roller-coaster ride of signs, wonders and miracles.
Look to Me, be flexible as you follow My Spirit; don’t try to work things out or find your own “super human” solutions.
I AM the God of the impossible! Open your heart and be ready to be amazed and surprised like a child.”
Activation : Ask The LORD to show you where and when you have contained or doubted what he can do in your life and repent. Then close your eyes and as you decree that nothing is impossible for God, see yourself breaking any barrier with the sword of the Spirit.
Jeremiah 32:27 (NIV) “I am The LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”
Matthew 19:26 (ESV) “But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
18 March 2024. The Tree of Life
“My Beloved Child, start today by resting quietly with Me. Look into the spirit and see a stream of crystal clear living water flowing down the middle of the great street of My Golden City, coming from My Throne.
Can you see it? Can you hear the water flowing by?
Watch and see the tree of life standing on both sides of the river, bearing much fruit. Look at the leaves of the tree. They can be used for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse.
This, My Child, is My Promise for you, your family, your city, your nation and all the peoples of the world. It is already a reality of My Kingdom. Through the sacrificial death of My Son you can proclaim this heavenly reality of life in abundance, healing and restoration from sin and shame.
As you gaze upon the tree of life, hear my voice speaking life over you and into every situation you are carrying today.”
Activation : Slowly read aloud Revelation 22:1-5. Ask The Holy Spirit to point out important things for you to observe right now. Continue looking into the spirit at this imagery, asking Holy Spirit to highlight how it feels, sounds, even tastes.
Revelation 2:7 (NIV) “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”
Revelation 22:1-2 (NIV) “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.”
15 March 2024. Spiritual Build-Up
“Beloved, it is time to be built up in the Spirit. I want My People to move in power and precision, being sharp and activated in preparation for the times ahead. I want you to desire the gifts of The Holy Spirit for these will continually strengthen and equip you for the days ahead. I will give you them in great measures this season. I AM building my body up in me to go forth as a strong army, mighty in Me. Therefore, desire the gifts, ask Me for them, and I will give you them enthusiastically and in great measures!”
Activation : First, take a moment to read 1 Corinthians 12 and ask The Holy Spirit to highlight the gifts that He would like you desire or to be sharpened in. Write them down then also add the gift/s you would like to have, then pray this prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you that you give good gifts to your children. I ask you to give me the gift of … (insert gift/s)… . and help me to grow in ….(insert gift/s)…. I ask to receive them in great measures, in Jesus name, Amen.
Believe in faith that you have received them and watch how God grows these gifts in your life!
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 (NIV) “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.”
Matthew 7:9-11 (NIV) “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
14 March 2024. The Slipstream
“Beloved, I see the many pulls on your heart, and I hear the noise surrounding you. There are so many loud and confusing cries clamouring for your attention. Don’t get caught up in those for they will rob you of My best. I am calling you to tune out all of that, and tune into My voice. Turn your thoughts and your heart towards Me, because I am longing to lead you into greater measures of My presence.
My Bride, I have rivers of living water for you, the rivers of my rest. Focus on Me alone and follow My leading by the slipstream of My Spirit, into greater depths of freedom and favour. There are stretches of My water before you that are pure and clear. Step deeper into My lead, and you will experience more of My presence. I AM right here waiting for you.”
Activation : Imagine yourself intentionally turning away from all of the demands that are upon you, and focusing on following Jesus. He is leading you into the slipstream of His Spirit. Thank Him that you are increasingly being filled and surrounded by Him, that His water level is rising, …as He is inviting you deeper and deeper into experiencing His presence.
Ezekiel 47:1-5 (NIV) “The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side. As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross.”
2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV) “Now The LORD is the Spirit and where the Spirit of The LORD is, there is freedom.”
13 March 2024. Total Surrender
“I AM a jealous God who longs for a heart that is passionately devoted and surrendered to Me, embracing My Authority and letting Me lead.
When you came to faith in Me, did you invite Me into your heart as someone who would help you live your life your way or did you surrender all to Me?
Do you feel the emptiness and lack in your relationship with Me and long for more, or are you experiencing fullness, abundance, and life?
I AM calling you out from this dry and worldly counterfeit into the fullness of relationship with Me. It’s time to yield your whole self and life to Me. I AM calling you to invite me to be in charge of your life — fully your Master and LORD.
My Grace is with you as you step into the death of your old self and move into resurrection life in Christ Jesus — life in all its fullness.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to show you all the areas of your life where God is not fully in charge and say sorry for holding on to control over your life. Surrender every part of your life, inviting Jesus to be fully in charge and to direct you in all your ways from here onward.
By faith, step forward into a life of following his lead and put your hands out to receive his fullness.
James 4:4-6 (MSG) “You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t care? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous lover.” And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the wilful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble.””
Philippians 2:9–11 (GNT) “For this reason God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name. And so, in honour of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees, and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
12 March 2024. True Love
“Those who seek Me wholeheartedly, with everything in them never go away empty-handed.
They do find Me. I long to share with all My children the plans that involve them, but that requires My children to recognize that they sometimes fall out of step with my best for them. Many walk through life believing they are walking in my will. I want to revolutionise how they walk with me.
I seek justice. I seek truth. I seek obedience. But oh how I seek love, for I AM love!
And when you find yourself swimming in the fullness of my love, the anger and disappointment floats away.
Seek my face as I seek your heart and let my love wash you into fresh clarity and depth of understanding.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to help you identify anyone who has wronged you and where you still need to give forgiveness. As He names people, bless them and release God’s love into their lives.
1 John 4:8 (NASB) “The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
1 Peter 4:8 (NASB) “Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.”
Isaiah 66:2b (NASB) “…But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.”
11 March 2024. Worship the King
“My child, What do you worship in your life? What are your heart’s desires? What is your first and your last thought of the day? I long to be the One that you worship. I long to be the One you run to when you face difficult situations, when you feel hopeless and lonely or when you feel overwhelmed. Come into My presence and worship Me.
Beware of the many distractions the world offers you.
The enemy is out to steal your time, to distract you from worshipping Me. Worshipping other gods doesn’t just mean you bow down to wooden idols. Everything and everyone you put before Me is an idol. However you set your priorities, remember you will ultimately worship somebody.
I AM a zealous God and I long for true worshippers. Worshipping me means having your eyes locked on mine. Worshipping me means you trust My Ways, will follow My Lead, leaning on My Strength, and asking Me for the answers you need.”
Activation : Examine your heart. Write a list of all the things that are important to you. Then sit with Jesus and ask Him to help you understand and order your priorities.
Exodus 20:3 (AMP) “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
John 4:23 (AMP) “But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshippers.”
8 March 2024. Authority
“Beloved, today I stand before you to remind you of the precious gift of authority that I have given you. It rests in my nail pierced hands. Will you take hold of it afresh and use it for my glory? Will you refuse to listen to the enemy’s lies that you are not worthy enough to use it or that it is not yours to keep?
For the truth is you are my special treasure! You are more precious to me than my own life, hand-crafted in love, exquisite in design, unique and intricately planned. You are chosen especially to bring my kingdom to the earth as they are in heaven! You are sons and daughters of the Kings of Kings and warriors of the God of the Angel Armies! So today, be encouraged!
Do not fear but take heart! For I have given you authority over all the powers of the enemy!”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit if there are any areas in your life where you are not standing in your God-given authority and why this is. Then place your hands out in front of you, ready to receive all God has for you, and pray this prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, I repent for the times I haven’t taken up my authority in you. I hand you now all the areas that I have struggled in (insert what The Holy Spirit showed you). Please would you come and hand me afresh all the authority you designed me to carry and full revelation of what this means in my life. I choose to receive it now with all my heart. Amen.
Luke 10:19 (ESV) “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”
Matthew 16:19 (NIV) “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
7 March 2024. Laid Bare
“In the previous season I brought you to a place of deep surrender, calling you to your knees and asking for a complete ‘yes’ to Me. It blessed my heart to hear your heartfelt cries and full conviction that you were ‘all in’ for Me.
But now I AM requiring you to be laid bare. The surrender of the previous season now needs to make way for the deepening abandonment of a spirit spilled out before me. Your desire to surrender to me at all costs has led to your pure heart. But you must still pursue purity. You are set apart. But you must still long for Holiness.
The place of surrender brought you to your knees, but now I require you to keep being relentless in your vulnerability in Me.
For it is only in this place that I can continue to strip away the influences of the world that remain, creating in you an undivided heart that unashamedly beats for Me.”
Activation : Ask God to bring you back to the moment when you fully surrendered your ‘yes’ to him. Remember how it felt to be on your knees before him. Now ask The Holy Spirit to widen, stretch, and deepen that ‘yes.’ Watch as that ‘yes’ is laid out fully on the ground in front of you. What does that look like? What is that deeper requirement of being laid bare that The LORD is asking of you in this season?
Hebrews 4:13 (NIV) “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”
Psalm 51:16-17 (NIV) “You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.”
6 March 2024 Voice of Hope
“It is important at this time for My People to speak hope into those around them. While the atmosphere is inundated with fear and worry, My People must push this back by speaking truth and hope.
What is the hope that sustains you?
What is it that you require to feel hopeful?
Today, survey your heart honestly. Do you have hope? Do you find that you are postured in a position of hope and expectation?
There is fresh oil for you to renew your hope and step into a deeper revelation of what it means to find your hope in Me. I AM not hidden and hope must not be lost. Pick-up fresh hope today and resolve within yourself to be a voice for hope.”
Activation : Take some time to quiet yourself and ask. Once you are quiet, ask The Holy Spirit to show you how hopeful you are. Ask Holy Spirit where your hope is anchored. If you find that you are struggling to feel hopeful or be in a posture of hopefulness, ask The Holy Spirit for a fresh in-filling. You may need to do a process of repentance and forgiveness. Whatever the process looks like, ask The Holy Spirit for strategies on being one you will be a voice of hope.
Romans 15:13 (NIV) “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 5:2-5 (MSG) “We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand – out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise. There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary – we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!”
5 March 2024. Clear Vision
“Dear Child, what obscures your vision?
Sometimes it can be tempting to look at me through the lens of the season you are in or the circumstances you are going through. Much like a person looking out of a rain-stained window at something outside, the image appears distorted.
Today, I would remind you that I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever. Beloved, keep your focus on me and not that which is constantly changing. As you do, you will be amazed how quickly the light of my presence will change your perspective and any heaviness will lift!”
Activation : Invite Holy Spirit to show you any areas that are affecting your vision of God. He may show you circumstances, seasons of life that have been difficult, words spoken over you, or even people that haven’t treated you the way they should. Hand each one over to Jesus and, if he prompts you, ask for his help to forgive those who have hurt you.
Then pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I hand to you all the things that have affected my vision of you. Will you take them, cleanse me, heal me, and lift off all heaviness. Please restore to me clear vision, naturally and spiritually, so that I am able to see you and your perspective anew each and every day. Amen.

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) “So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Hebrews 13:8 (AMP) “Jesus Christ is (eternally changeless, always) the same yesterday, today and forever.”
4 March 2024. Come to Meet Me
“My child, when a king comes in glory, the centre of peoples’ lives are changed. When the cry goes up that the King is nearly there, almost on the doorstep, then the old order of things is scattered, and a new order emerges. The watchmen cry out, the gatekeepers fling wide the gates, and the people gather in crowds, ready to meet the king.
In the same way, my child, at this time the old centre of your spiritual life is changing. The old ways of connecting with me are shifting and the old ways of meeting with one another are altering. Let the excitement of the season carry you on eager legs to prepare to meet with me. As you do so, you will show those around you the way as well. Let your posture change from that of daily business, to that of coming to meet with me.
Do not disqualify yourself, believing that you may as well stay behind. Do not let doubt undermine your hope. Instead, embrace an eager expectation of my presence. Let the excitement of the occasion fill you with joy and peace as you believe in me!”
Activation : Tell Jesus you are readying yourself to meet with Him! Let your excitement that He is nearly here, right on the doorstep, rise up! Spend a few moments just now focusing on Him and what His coming means. Here are some questions to ask: How will you feel when He comes? How will you welcome Him? How do you want to welcome Him into this moment, right now? Once you’ve done that, can you feel His delight in you? Can you see His eyes looking at you, can you feel the kindness and excitement in His gaze?
Revelation 3:20 (NLT) “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.”
Matthew 24:33 (BSB) “So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.”
1 March 2024. Peace
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (KJV)
“Are you facing troubles, fear and or doubt?
All you are required to do is believe and trust in me, casting your cares to Me. I AM asking you to trust that I have your life in my hands. I know it is hard to trust that My Ways are always good and that where I lead you is safe, but I have made you a promise that I AM trustworthy with your life. I AM inviting you to come close, choosing Me as I have chosen you. Choose My Peace over the fear you hold close and the chaos around you.
Choose Me to carry the heavy load of doubt that weighs you down and allow me to shower you with My Love and Peace.”
Activation : Does it feel like you are stuck somehow and maybe your faith isn’t like it used to be. Are you questioning where God is and if He is even listening? If you are able, pray this prayer:
Father, I accept the invitation to come close to you. I recognize my need for you. Please take the heavy cares off my shoulders and pull away the things that steal my peace. Would you help my unbelief and teach me to trust your ways. Your word tells me that when I am weak you are strong. I choose to trust you with my life.
Amen.
Romans 8:34-37 (NLT) “Who then will condemn us? No one – for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honour at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the scripture say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loves us.”
