30 October 2020. Pacifism or War?
“Do the words ‘spiritual war’ clash with your sensibilities? I AM calling you to enlist in My Army and leave spiritual pacifism aside, for your enemy, though defeated, still prowls around seeking to destroy.
Don’t hide when you hear this call again but wrestle with My Words and address your preconceived ideas and thoughts.
I ask again, ‘Who is on MY side?’ “
1 Peter 5:8-9 NIVUK “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same sufferings.”
2 Corinthians 10:5 NIVUK “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
29 October 2020. I AM in the House!
“I AM coming with My Sword to SLICE through the veil of lies that has held my people in bondage for too long.
Suddenly I will cut off blame, guilt, shame and judgements that have plagued you for years. The slow burn of injustice and wrong words spoken over you is called to an end. I AM exposing the little things you tolerate, excuse, or don’t even notice — that hold you back.
I will CLEANLY disconnect you from things that have slowed you down for too many years. I will dissect your life and remove cankers that have been depleting you for decades. Some of these things will seem almost imperceptible on their own but will be gathered together to form a momentum of transformation that is visibly through my hand alone.
Know this: My Word over-rules EVERY word EVER spoken over you. This is your awakening. This is when you see that only my Word stands.”
Hebrews 4:12-13 NIV “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 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.”
Song of Solomon 2:15 NIV “Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.”
28 October 2020. Worship Me
“Don’t forget My Worship! Do not withdraw or deprive Me of My Worship!”
Many of you have struggled to grasp a hold of a rejoicing and worshiping heart. But The LORD reminds you today, “What did Job do in the first blow of trouble? He praised and glorified Me!
Do not forget My Worship in this season, for it is not only your lifeline; it is warfare, joy, lament, fellowship, history with The Living God, and so much more to be revealed!
Can’t worship ‘like you used to’? Good! Bring a new song to Me. A new declaration. A new dance. Be My Worshiper again!”
Job 1:21-22 NIV “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and The LORD has taken away; may the name of The LORD be praised.” In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.”
Psalm 95:6 NIV “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before The LORD our maker.”
27 October 2020. Take Your Place
“My Bride, will you awaken to your calling, your beauty and your purpose upon the earth? I see and desire a Bride who walks in purity, in truth, but also in power and love.
You are called out as my Chosen People, a Peculiar Nation, those who are to be my reflection upon the earth. I need you to see yourself as such.
Do not look at your shortcomings, your lack, or tell me why you are not qualified. I called you. I cleansed you with My Blood! Your qualification comes through Me. Now take your place as My Bride! Take your rightful place upon the earth as the Bride of Christ!”
1 Peter 2:9 NASB “But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
Romans 8:30-31 NLT “And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”
26 October 2020. A Necessary Pruning
I hear The Spirit of The LORD say, “Just as in nature, so there are times of pruning in your lives. Pruning is not a bad thing as it is necessary so that the unwanted parts of the plant can be discarded and fresh new fruitful life can come forth.
This is NOT a time of punishment in your life, even though it may seem like that! It’s a time of pruning for I AM discarding the things in your life that are no longer needed and no longer fruitful. They were necessary and fruitful in the past, but they are now obsolete and out of date.
Let Me remove the stuff in your life that is no longer required and has been holding you back. I promise that you will feel much better and freer.
Let the wind of My Spirit flow through you afresh; let My Spirit reach the places that have been hidden or bogged down by debris. Enter into this new season unhindered, ready for the new, for the better and for Me to use you in new ways.”
You may want to take time and give Father God permission to take away all that is not necessary for your new season.
John 15:1-2 NKJV “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”
Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV “Blessed is the man, who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of The LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”
23 October 2020. Embrace Me
“Embrace the new thing! You asked Me, and even at times begged Me, for the new thing — the new way, the new wine, the new Church. But now you reject or shy away from it. Come and embrace the coming of My Kingdom! Yes, it is unknown. Yes, it can be disconcerting. But is it glory beyond measure? YES!
Get out of your shell and into the light. No more digging your head in the sand, hoping it passes you by. Don’t miss the oncoming weight of My Presence! Ready yourselves and embrace Me as tight as you can!”
Psalm 24:7 NIV “Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.”
Revelation 3:20, 22 TPT “Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking. If your heart is open to hear my voice and you open the door within, I will come in to you and feast with you and you will feast with me. The one whose heart is open let him listen carefully to what the Spirit is saying now to the churches.”
22 October 2020. Time to Rise Up!
The LORD is asking us to pay attention and to listen carefully to His words at this time.
“I AM raising up a people who will stand for righteousness, who live for purity and for My Truth alone. To do this, I have had to strip you of your complacency, your security in the world, your love of money and idolatry. Do not be dismayed at this shaking and stripping off of things from your life.
Instead, rejoice! Rejoice because I AM preparing you for what is to come. I need my people strong, full of hope and filled with resilience.
You will see my justice come on the earth, and because you have let me do this purifying in your life, you will live in peace, confidence and security in an undisturbed place of rest. Even when the rest of the world looks like it’s falling apart, oh how blessed you will be because I have prepared you!”
Isaiah 32:9 NIV “You women who are so complacent, rise up and listen to me; you daughters who feel secure, hear what I have to say!”
Romans 5:4-5 TPT “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!”
21 October 2020. Vision and Strength
“I AM coming today to strengthen feeble knees. To those who feel surrounded by darkness, confined and desperate to break through and out of the uncomfortable place, I say to you, ‘Open your eyes to see where you are. You are in the right place at the right time! I release my strength to you, specifically in the places where your vision and determination have grown weary. I release My Light to you as even darkness is light to Me. Open your eyes and see My Strength coming to you in the place where you are now! Receive My strength today!’ “
Psalm 139:12 NKJV “Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.”
Isaiah 35:3 NKJV “Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.”
20 October 2020. Fiercely Determined
“I AM calling out for a fierce determination to arise within My People.
This is not a fierceness as in violence against flesh and blood, but a power-filled tenacity that comes from a deep instinct to raise a standard for My Name. It’s a determined stance that opposes the works of the enemy!
Today, would you grab hold of My fierce Love and Holiness? Would you allow My Zeal to be a consuming Fire that comes out of you to burn up My enemies?
Respond to my call and say, ‘Yes, LORD, make me one who instinctively embraces your holiness and determinedly resists the aggressive attempt of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy.’
If you will do this, Passion and Zeal for My Holiness will become a Fire that invigorates you to become one who says, ‘NO!, we will not allow the plans of the enemy to succeed in Jesus’ mighty Name! But instead, we will raise up and hold the standard of VICTORY and RIGHTEOUSNESS for our God goes before us!'”
John 2:16-17 NIV “To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.””
Psalm 97:1-3 NIV “The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.”
19 October 2020. My Glory Released
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of The LORD rises upon you,” Isaiah 60:1 NIV
Today, the heavens rejoice as The LORD is releasing His Glory on the Earth. The days you have longed for — to see the sick healed, the dead raised and lives changed in an instant — is here!
The LORD is asking you to partner with Him in His Glory.
“Will you step out with a little bit of faith to pray for your neighbour?
Will you step out with a little bit of faith to teach your children how to pray for the sick?
Will you step out with a little bit of faith to see My Glory and miracles be released in your community?
It just takes a little bit of faith, My Child, and you will see the glory of The Kingdom come in ways that you only ever dreamt of and read about in Scripture.
Join Me, My Church, as I become the joy for this generation and the generations to come!”
Acts 19:11-12 MSG “God did powerful things through Paul, things quite out of the ordinary. The word got around and people started taking pieces of clothing — handkerchiefs and scarves and the like — that had touched Paul’s skin and then touching the sick with them. The touch did it — they were healed and whole.”
16 October 2020. My Plans, Your Plans
“Put your plans in the Potter’s furnace, then wait and see what comes out. What are you expecting or hoping for? I know that your flesh will screech at some of My Plans, yet they are for your benefit and My Glory.
Church, I cannot look at sin any longer, and My Glory is cutting through the dross of the clay, making beauty. Come quickly to Me. As you prepare your heart in prayer to go through my furnace remember that I know what you can deal with. Do you trust Me?”
Jeremiah 18:6 NIV “He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares The LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.”
15 October 2020. Sing of Your Deliverance!
“Today, I AM releasing new songs of deliverance to My People. These are songs that testify of My Power and might, even before the breakthrough. They are songs of expectation and triumph that are even louder and longer than the cries of desperation. My Deliverance has surely found you, and your song changes the atmosphere to the brilliance of what’s to come.”
Be like David, and sing a new song! Stand in faith, lift your voice and sing. Use your own words; sing the words of faith that The LORD puts on your lips!
“My God is a mighty deliverer! He rules and reigns for all eternity!”
2 Samuel 22:2-3 “He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent people you save me.”
Isaiah 40:9 “You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!””
14 October 2020. Ask, Seek, Knock
“My Sons and Daughters, I delight when you seek after ME. When you search for Me as if I’m a lost treasure, I take delight in being sought. When you wrestle with Me and dialogue with me about questions and issues that you’re struggling with, I jump in with both feet because I love helping you to work things out! I love the process of seeking and finding!
Some of you have grown tired, disillusioned with feeling fed up with the process, yet I AM coming to you today and charging you up with desire and energy to engage with Me! COME ON! Step into the enjoyment of the process with Me. I AM with you and for you; work with Me in this process. Ask! Seek! Knock! Engage with Me, journey with Me, and become one who co-labours with me as a fully active participant of The Kingdom!”
Matthew 7:7-8 NLT “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”
Genesis 32:24-26 NIV “So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.””
Proverbs 25:2 NIV “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.”
13 October 2020. Shaking the Realities!
“I AM shaking the realities of people. What you think is important will shake and shift to what is truly important throughout the earth, not just in the church, but throughout business, schools and government. As I AM shaking the realities, it will be a downturn for a moment but stick in close to Me. I will pull you through, not to barely make it through, but to a place of My victorious glory!
I M bringing you back to me in new levels of My Glory that will affect every facet of your life. You may feel down sometimes but don’t look to the flesh! Look to the spirit, because I AM moving in and through you. I AM wanting you to live a life of freedom so that every person you come in contact does not only notice a difference, but are set free by the spiritual freedom you are caring.
Lean into me and receive this shaking; look into the spirit to see what I AM doing and what I want to do.”
Job 9:6 NASB “Who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble.”
Psalm 29:8 NASB “The voice of The LORD shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.”
12 October 2020. Your Book Isn’t Finished!
The LORD has seen you weeping as you look through the memory books of your life. The people you’ve lost, the opportunities you missed, and the words that remain written yet not accomplished in your life.
The LORD is saying today: “It is time to rejoice in what is still to come. Bring your heart near to Me and worship Me, not based on human rules but from The Spirit. As you come to me in your rejoicing, I again will become the Potter of your life. Rejoice as I resurrect old hopes, dreams and passions that you thought were only in the memory books to look back on.
Rejoice! For the Potter is still molding and I desire you to come to Me with joy and hope for the future!”
Psalm 56:8-10 NASB “You have taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book? Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; this I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in The LORD, whose word I praise,
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
9 October 2020. Possess the Gates
I heard The Spirit of The LORD say, “Be particular in what you see or watch (Eye Gate). Be particular in what you hear and listen to (Ear Gate). Be particular in what you say, sing and whisper (Mouth Gate)!
It’s time to see, hear and say only what I’m seeing, hearing and saying! Put away self-pleasing and even pleasing others which is edifying the flesh! Feed on My Word and be nourished by Me, as I reveal My Word to you. Delve into the depths of My Word and let it come alive in you and through you.
The time for feeding on milk is over. It’s time to feed on the meat ofMmy Word for this season; baby food will not sustain you. Get your teeth into My Word. Spend time in My Presence and let My Holy Spirit saturate you. Then, as you go about your daily life, you will spill me out to those you meet and come in contact with. You will also take your rightful place as those who I have called to possess the gates.”
Proverbs 30:5-6 NKJV “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.”
I Peter 1:22-23 “Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.”
8 October 2020. Keep Digging!
“Sons and Daughters,” I say to you today, “Be strong and keep digging in prayer, in declaration and in petition. I AM about to release my promise of pouring out hidden riches in dark places upon you. Riches of healing, riches of revelation, riches of victory, holiness and purity, and riches of my royal authority are close at hand! Do not quit now or grow sluggish but dig in expectation!”
Isaiah 45:3 NKJV “I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, The LORD, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.”
Galatians 6:9 NKJV “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”
7 October 2020. Remember Who I AM!
“Today, I AM eating up your disappointment. I AM taking off disappointment as it has made you even physically sick. I AM taking off that heavy and toxic burden and digesting it FOR you.
Oh, My Child, you were not made for disappointment but love everlasting and truth in My Spirit. Today, remember who your God is. Remember the testimonies of my goodness. Delight in even the smallest successes, and I will take off and break off disappointment once and for all!”
Where this season has been laden and covered in disappointment, prophetically lift it off of your life (This is a prophetic act, so use your hands and lift it off!) and declare that The LORD’s Successes are mightier than the world’s disappointment.
Psalm 68:19 NIV “Praise be to The LORD, to God our saviour, who daily bears our burdens.”
Matthew 11:28 TPT “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis.”
6 October 2020. I Will Pinpoint
“Do not let your hearts be cluttered with the enormity of change, but remember that I have the ‘bird’s-eye view’. I can see the past, present and future all at once. I hold your days, your minutes and your hours in my hands and I will pinpoint what you need to do next and what has to change. Do not be overwhelmed but hand it all to Me.”
Revelation 22:13 NIV “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
Matthew 6:33-34 NIV “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
5 October 2020. My Transfusion
“For My Flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. (John 6:55 NIV)
I AM coming to give you a blood transfusion into your spirit. To receive this, you require to stay still, rest back and allow cleaning of the skin where the transfusion will inject. So stop running around doing My Work when I desire to infuse you with My Presence, My Energy, My Enabling.
So where you have a spiritual agenda, a job list, know that I AM looking to inject My Holy Spirit inner change. Put aside your to-do list. It may look messy and wrong to others, but I know what I AM doing.”
Psalm 27:14 NIV “Wait for The LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for The LORD.”
Isaiah 40:31 NASB “Yet those who wait for The LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.”
2 October 2020. Heavenly Wisdom
“Today, I AM bringing freedom and liberation to My Church so that you no longer idolise man for wisdom and knowledge, but come to Me, the Father, for Wisdom, Revelation and Truth. As you come to Me in the secret place, there is where you will find Me. There is where you will find truth in a way that changes your heart, your desires and your life.
It is not a time to be hiding under the shadow of someone else’s revelation of Me. I want you to hide in Me and encounter truth and the depths of Wy Word with your whole being, not just your mind.
I need you to step away right now from the smoke and mirrors of the platform and come to me for this is where you will find living water that will sustain you and the truth that will set you free.”
James 1:5 NIV “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
John 4:14 NIV “But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
1 October 2020. Do You Hear the Alarm?
“I AM sounding My Alarm! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! It’s the breaking of a new day. It’s time to arise and work. My World is in desperate need of My Love and My Presence. My Children have to tell them how much I love them. But don’t just ‘tell’ them! Show them. Show them how I Love them and how I Love you — unconditionally, completely and extravagantly. This world needs to see the reality of what love looks like. Let Me shine through you into this dark world. Become a beacon of my love, and as others look at you, they can’t help but see ME, know ME and feel my presence tangibly!”
Isaiah 59:19 NKJV “So shall they fear the Name of The LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of The LORD will lift up a standard against him.”
John 3:16 NKJV “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
