30 November 2020. Eager Expectation
“I AM releasing an increased capacity of waiting today.
This is not waiting in the sense of sitting and doing nothing. It is waiting like that of the disciples in the upper room. It’s an ability to come, sit with me and expectantly wait and watch as I reveal myself in new and different ways that you have not seen nor experienced before. I AM not a quick-fix God who answers on demand, because I AM the GOD who sees all — from the start to the finish. I know what you need to know today and what will shift you into tomorrow.
Yet some have not had the patience to sit with me while others haven’t been able to find the time. I will give you both — patience and time. Will you take hold of My Offer? Come and eagerly wait as I, the Ancient of Days, have much to show you.”
Lamentations 3:25 NASB “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him.”
Daniel 7:13 NKJV “I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.”
Genesis 16:13 NIV “She gave this name to The LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.””
27 November 2020. Supernatural Thinking
“Today, go above and beyond your own logic. Go beyond your own expectancy or depth of knowledge. Instead, submit to My Logic and My Thinking!
My supernatural thinking will always exceed the natural. Pray, petition or cry out from your spirit to mine for whatever your breakthrough needs. Bring it to me knowing that you have received the supernatural power of God! Receive supernatural thinking, and let it radicalise your mind once and for all.”
John 3:6 TPT “For the natural realm can only give birth to things that are natural, but the spiritual realm gives birth to supernatural life!”
Job 11:7 NIV “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?”
26 November 2020. Speaking from the Fire
“Stop, look, listen and behold. From the midst of the fire, I AM speaking. Do not be afraid, but listen to My Voice and hear what I AM saying.
I AM giving you new language. Just as from the burning bush, I gave Moses the language of holiness that formed the culture of a nation, so am I giving you new language to speak out and bring My Kingdom culture in this season to this generation.
Will you receive and speak the new language or will you limit yourself to the old?”
Exodus 3:4 NIV “When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.”
Deuteronomy 4:12 NKJV “And the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; you only heard a voice.”
25 November 2020. Eat at My Table!
“I invite you to come and sit at My Banqueting Table, to be blessed as you eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God. No longer will you be one who has an excuse for me for why you can’t attend or need to leave My Table. For you have realised that the food of this world is nothing on the taste buds compared to the feast I have prepared for you. You have tasted a little, My Child, but now it is time for the great feast of My Kingdom to be experienced from the east to the west and from the north to the south.
My Heart sings with joy as you sit and eat with Me and rejoice in the wonders we will co-labour in together in this next season on Earth. Come to My Table and bring others with you for I want to satisfy the longing soul and the hungry soul with good things that only My Kingdom can provide.”
Psalm 107:9 TPT “How he satisfies the souls of thirsty ones and fills the hungry with all that is good!”
Luke 14:15 TPT “When they heard this, one of the dinner guests said to Jesus, “Someday God will have a kingdom feast, and how happy and privileged will be the ones who get to share in that joy!””
24 November 2020. Whom Shall I Send?
Today, The LORD says, “I AM still the God who sends. I AM still the one who sends My People and My Prophets to deliver My Words. Who will go for Me? Who will tell of who I AM? Who will boast of the great and mighty things that I have done for them? Is it you?
Come close to me and receive from Me. Let Me place My Words in your mouth — words of direction, words of truth, words of life and of hope.
I alone am The Way, The Truth and The Life. I AM The Hope of the nations, yet they stumble in the dark looking to find their own solutions. So again, I ask, Who will go for Me? Who will be My Mouthpiece to the nations?”
Matthew 12:21 NIV “In his name the nations will put their hope.”
Isaiah 6:8 NIV “Then I heard the voice of The LORD saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!””
John 14:6 NIV “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
23 November 2020. Shut the Door!
“Turn down the volume, clear some space and sit with Me awhile. There are things I want to share with you — good things. The past is irrelevant to us, it was merely a series of stepping stones to your now. It was part of the process in bringing you here, and even the mistakes and the failures I will use for your benefit.
So, shut the door on yesterday. Lock it, throw away the keys and look forward. I have a path laid out before you that we will walk together, and it’s full of wonderful surprises.”
Romans 8:28 NIV “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Isaiah 43:18 ESV “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
20 November 2020. Known by You
“Press in, press in, press in,” says The LORD. “In the swirl, in the noise, in the constant moving and shaking, press into Me!
My Beloved, I AM your firm foundation. I will set your feet like hinds’ feet! Just cry out and I will come. For My Desire is that you would know Me. My Desire is to be known by you. When you know who I AM and what I AM like, then you will know how to stand in these days. You will know that I bring great comfort as well as necessary truths that will quiet the noise and steady you. I AM always eager and ready to be known. I AM longing to be your solid rock. Come and stand on Me!”
Psalm 18:33 NASB “He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, And sets me upon my high places.”
Psalm 91:14-16 NIV ““Because he loves me,” says The LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
19 November 2020. Give Thanks
As the world mourns and grieves over crisis and disaster, The LORD is calling us, His Ekklesia. He calls us to rise above what we can see in the natural and give thanks to Him. As He lifts us out of the depths, He will show us things from His Heavenly perspective.
He has heard your call and has saved you from the deep pit. He has not forgotten you!
“In your praises and thanksgiving,” says The LORD, “I will show you my mercy and rescue you. I hear you, and I AM breaking through and transforming your wailing into a whirling dance of ecstatic praise! I have torn the veil from what you can see in the natural, shifting your eyes to the supernatural, and I AM lifting the heaviness off of you as you praise!”
Psalm 30:7-12 TPT “I was panic-stricken and became depressed. Still I cried out to you, Lord God. I shouted out for mercy, saying, “What would you gain in my death, if I were to go down to the depths of darkness? Will a grave sing your song? How could death’s dust declare your faithfulness?”
So hear me now, Lord; show me your famous mercy.
O God, be my Savior and rescue me!
Then he broke through and transformed all my wailing into a whirling dance of ecstatic praise!
He has torn the veil and lifted from me the sad heaviness of mourning.
He wrapped me in the glory garments of gladness.
How could I be silent when it’s time to praise you?
Now my heart sings out loud, bursting with joy — a bliss inside that keeps me singing, “I can never thank you enough!”
18 November 2020. Remember My Promises
“I AM the Covenant Making and Keeping God. Don’t you see that even on the darkest rainy days my light can break in from nowhere and shine a rainbow into your world? It’s the physical reminder that I have not forgotten you, and I will never leave you.
Do not think on the things around you, but spend your time feasting on my promises. Focus on my goodness and know that, no matter how it looks, what I have said to you will come to pass in my perfect timing.”
Isaiah 55:11 NIV “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT “For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.”
17 November 2020. I Am Not Stuck!
I heard the Spirit of The LORD say, “I bring you again good news, which is for all people, for I AM releasing people from being stuck and being hopeless. I release peace, freedom, vitality and hope for I can never be stuck and I can never be less than whole.
You are jaded, so stop looking for strength in yourself. Be MY voice; proclaim that I the Creator God am not tired. The truth of Jesus, Spirit and Father is needed now.
Do you believe what you professed when you first met Me? As you grew in stature and wisdom — did you forget? Remember! Wake up and receive My Freedoms, Vitality and Peace, for the world needs your witness and loud voice of hope.”
Jonah 1:6 NIV “The captain went to him and said, ‘How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish’.”
Luke 2:10 NIV “But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”
16 November 2020. The Sound of His Roar
The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is coming close and roaring over you. He is roaring songs of deliverance over you; right in the face of every opposition, His mighty roar resounds. Can you hear His roar surround you? Can you feel His roar resonate within you? It is coming to demolish strongholds of fear that have long found residence in your life. His vengeance is tearing down that very fear that has opposed your voice of praise to your King.
Today, The LORD says, “I will have my praise, and you shall be my people of praise once again!”
Jeremiah 33:6-9 NIV “Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before. I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honour before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.”
Isaiah 31:4 NIV “This is what The LORD says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey — and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against it, it is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamour — so The LORD Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.””
13 November 2020. Hear the Word of The LORD!
Just as Ezekiel stood in a valley of dead, dry bones, so many of you are. And just as The LORD said to Ezekiel and told him to prophesy, so He says to you today: “Speak to the dry, dead bones!
Speak to the ears that are shut! Speak to the situations that look dismal and cry out, ‘Hear the Word of The LORD!’
Church, rise up, each of you and open your mouths and speak for I want you to prophesy and let loose My Words of life and of truth in the situations that you face.
If I brought back to life a valley of dry bones and raised it into an Army, can I not do the same for you?! Stand and face your valley. Release My Word into it. Then watch as the dead places come to new life.
I tell you again — release My Word and watch your dead places come to life! For My Words on your lips always bear fruit and bring forth life.”
Ezekiel 37:1-5 ESV “The hand of The LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of The LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of The LORD.”
Isaiah 55:11 NLT “It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.”
12 November 2020. Take Your Seat
I see chess pieces flying around in the sky. There is a great ‘unseating’ happening where people who were in seemingly solid positions of power are being uprooted from their complacency. “Unrighteous power structures are being exposed as My Light shines on every position, every seat, and all of it is up in the air for My Purposes.
As you see this expressed in the natural, don’t be deceived into thinking that things are out of My Hands, nothing could be further from the truth. I reign over everything, even if it looks like chaos to you, rest assured that I AM in control. I AM leveling the playing field.
Wait and see where the pieces land. The positions, appointments and nations that I have assigned to My People will suck them into place at the perfect moment. The new anointings and lands will open up to welcome My Sons and Daughters to take their positions. Some of it will be suddenly and by unusual means. Expect to be pleasantly surprised, be open to being moved by My Hand and be prepared to have more influence than you would expect or choose for yourself.
There is nothing disorderly in My Plans. My Plans for you are good. My People will take their seats for they will be in prime position for my ultimate checkmate.”
Romans 8: 18-19 NIV “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.”
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares The LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.””
11 November 2020. Nothing is Impossible
The LORD Jesus is pursuing you. He is crossing through the storms of your life and coming to deliver you. Just as He heard the cries of the madman of the Gerasenes, so He has heard yours. He says to you today: “Come and meet with Me. Meet Me at the shore of your storms and bring all of your troubles, all your afflictions, all the anxiety and all your worries. Lay them at My Feet. Let Me be your DELIVERER. I AM the only one who can save you from your affliction. Will you believe Me? Will you let Me be everything that you are not?
I want to see you walking with a sound mind, a light heart, free to be you and free to worship Me. Let go of all that has hindered you and come and meet with me as your Saviour and Deliverer today.”
Luke 8:35-36 TPT “Then the people of the region came out to see for themselves what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they discovered the notorious madman totally set free. He was clothed, speaking intelligently, and sitting at the feet of Jesus. They were shocked! Then eyewitnesses to the miracle reported all that they had seen and how the demonized man was completely delivered from his torment.”
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
10 November 2020. Jump In, Head First!
“My Kingdom is a risk-taking Kingdom; not out of recklessness, but out of zealousness. It’s not a risk-taking out of carelessness, but out of passion. I love to do crazy, adventurous things, the wild and different things. And as My Kingdom advances, it won’t be something you simply dip your toe into. It takes ALL of you to shake off fear and dive in headfirst.
I know that you have doubted that I had you safe in My Hand, but you have to trust! I know every outcome and every detail of your thoughts, and I still call you to jump in with the abandon of your flesh to pursue the spiritual. I AM a good, good Father, who loves to journey with His children! But I AM also a wild and wonderful Lord, beyond comprehension and full of zeal for My Creation.”
Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV “But if from there you seek The LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Hebrews 13:6 NIV “So we say with confidence, “The LORD is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?””
9 November 2020. My Banner is Love
Your Saviour is coming to you today to renew your strength and to give you new and restored hope in Him. He is the One whose name is more delightful than anything the world can offer. He is the One who is utterly beautiful in every way. His mouth and His words are sweetness, and He is altogether lovely!
He is asking you to arise and come with Him; let Him hear your voice, catch the little foxes and the distractions that would take you away from His sweet love. Tell Him that you are faint with love and praise Him for His mercies and the love He has shown you.
The season for dancing has come, and as you dance and sing to your Love, you will see Him standing behind the wall you’ve placed there. As it falls, you will see more clearly than ever that His Banner over you is nothing but sheer love.
Look for the Banner in your time with Jesus. What does it look like? How does it move? Take time to dwell on His Banner of Love and even draw what it looks like as a daily reminder that His Banner is always sheer love over you.
Song of Songs 2:4 NIV “Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love.”
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 MSG “So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.”
6 November 2020. Shaking the Scaffolding!
“The very scaffolding that has been built around you is being shaken. I AM shaking and realigning to build you into the form that I have destined and anointed you for. The scaffolding has been out too long. It’s old and decrepit from lack of use, except for pockets of time when you have allowed me to use it. It’s a heavy weight now and a hindrance. It stops Me from advancing you to new levels. So it’s time for it to be shaken!
Today, I AM yearning for you to fully release yourself to Me, and let Me take you to new levels of My Power and Glory. Let Me break the weight and hindrances that you carry, that you wrongly assume are the way through. I AM the I AM! I will take it all! If it needs breaking, I will break it; I will carry what needs to be carried. I AM the Answer! Will you fully release yourself to me and yield to the shaking?”
1 Peter 5:7 NIV “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
Ecclesiastes 3:6 NLT “A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away.”
5 November 2020. Freedom is Yours
The LORD is saying, “Today is your day of freedom! I have heard your righteous cries for your children and the next generation. I have seen your tears for holiness among the land. But I want you to know that I AM not finished using you yet! Although you cry for the next generation to rise, I AM still calling you to come higher into my courts. There are things you are yet to see; there are moments I have been waiting to show you until such a time as this.
As I deliver you from the troubles you are facing and the generational cycles and trauma, you will see things from a height you have only ever dreamed about. You will soar like an eagle in the heavenlies, and from that place, you will be able to intercede for the next generation and live to see them rise in purity and on fire for Me!”
Isaiah 40:31 MSG “Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, “God has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”? Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? God doesn’t come and go. God lasts. He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.”
Psalm 34:17 ESV “When the righteous cry for help, The LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.”
4 November 2020. More Than a Conqueror
“I AM good and mighty in all of My Ways. How many times will you doubt My Deliverance? I made you to be more than a conqueror! Is the enemy strong enough to defeat Me? To defeat you? NO!
Look at the history of My Deliverance. Look at how death was defeated on The Cross. Look now in The Spirit, just as Elisha’s servant did*, to see the mass of angel armies on your side!
Once and for all, give up insecurity. It is not your portion nor your personality. Step into the freedom that was bought for you and rejoice with Me! I do not for one single moment look at you and see a victim. I only see a victor! A champion!”
*2 Kings 6:17 NIV “And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.” Then The LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”
Psalm 29:1 TPT “Proclaim his majesty, all you mighty champions, you sons of Almighty God, giving all the glory and strength back to him!”
Isaiah 45:24 NIV “They will say to me, ‘In The LORD alone are deliverance and strength’. All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.”
3 November 2020. Breathe In
“Today, I AM putting within you new gumption, new courage, new boldness and new stamina. Watch as you breathe out all the self-pity, discouragement, wounding and low fervour. Breathe it out and let it go!
Then watch and look as you breathe in and inhale new life. I AM breathing into your very being the things you need to carry you through these days. These are not days of ease, but they are days that require great courage. They are days of growth and maturity.
As you exhale the old, inhale all that you need from me to equip you and to move you forward. Take heart for I AM with you!”
Genesis 2:7 NKJV “Then The LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”
Joshua 1:9 NLT “This is my command — be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For The LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
2 November 2020. Kingdom Friendships
“It’s time for My Kingdom to permeate your friendships and the ways you fellowship together. It’s time for the treasure of My Kingdom to invade your friendships where the ways of the world have left your relationships impoverished.
Church, you must be miners for the treasure of My Word in this hour. In the present shaking, I see many trying to still hold on dearly to the remaining comforts the world has to offer. Realise that they are as dust in your hand, slipping through your fingers because there is no substance. Dig into My Word, live from the revelation of My Word, lean upon My Word. It is time for you to model your friendships according to My Word.”
Deuteronomy 8:3 NKJV “So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of The LORD.”
Colossians 3:16 NKJV “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to The LORD.”
