22 May 2026. Come Back
“To the one who is far away from Me, come back. Return to a simple relationship with Me. Return to the uncomplicated truth that I AM your friend, your Saviour, your Father in heaven,” says The LORD.
“You are never too far away from Me to return. My arms are open. All you need to do is take a step towards Me. And I will come running to you.
I wait to embrace you. To hold you close and call you Mine. Surrender to Me and I will hear you. I will listen to you pour out your pain and anxiety. Allow Me to carry your burdens, your agony, as we walk in relationship once more. I will heal your wounds as we go through life together.
Spend time emptying all your worries and fears to Me. Know that you are not alone. All of heaven will rejoice when you come back! There is a party waiting for you so wherever you are, just take a step back to Me.”
Activation: If you have either felt distant from God or been far from God, know that there is no shame or condemnation in your return. God wants to hear you. Pour out all your feelings to Him. When you take this step, His arms are open to welcome you back.
Luke 15:6 (NKJV) “And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost”.”
21 May 2026. Trust My Voice
“My Bride, how I long for you to trust My Voice. To know I AM The One who holds all Knowledge, Wisdom and everything you need,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“I have not called you to follow the ways of man, but to be carriers of My Wisdom. To have a fresh understanding of My ways, and the fear of the Lord. For I have called you to live set apart.
You may not understand what I have called you to do, and why, but trust in Me. Many have followed the fear of man, which has opened you up to anxiety, stress, and mistrust. I have not called you to live this way. Turn from the fear of man, and embrace The Fear of God.
Step into intimacy, joy, fulfillment and a life to the full when lived with Me. This is what you are choosing when you step into reverence and awe of who I AM. See fear of man fade away.”
Activation: Ponder how awesome our God is. Dwell on how He made the world, how He knew you before you were formed. Think of His vastness and love for you. Then ask the Lord, “Is there anywhere in my life I fear man over you?”
Listen to what He says, and repent of any partnership with fear of man. Ask for Holy Spirit to fill you with fear of the Lord. Ask God what the fear of the Lord looks like for you and write it down.
Proverbs 1:7 (NIV) “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
20 May 2026. Growth Is Coming
“Embrace the breaking I AM taking you through, because growth is coming. Like a muscle being worked out and stretched, I AM stretching you. Just as your muscles break and tear to grow stronger, I too AM breaking you down to become stronger. I need you strong and filled with endurance to run the race set before you so you do not grow weary,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“Don’t give up. I AM with you, cheering you on as you push towards the finish line. You are way more capable than you think you are. Let yourself be stretched by Me so you can bear a new weight. I AM there to see you finish well. I want you to receive your ‘Well done good and faithful servant’ . I want you to run your race and win.”
Activation: Do a spiritual push-up with The LORD — choose a spiritual practice e.g. praying in tongues for two minutes or reading a chapter of Scripture out loud. On your first day, do one rep or set of that spiritual practice. On your second day, double the number of reps with a break in between to allow God to speak to you like a coach. Write down what the Lord says as an encouragement to you. Keep increasing every day until you hit your chosen rep count. Watch God spiritually coach you to new levels of growth.
Job 23:10 (NKJV) “But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.”
19 May 2026. The Divine Turnaround
A U-Turn sign appeared in the spirit. And I saw in the spirit that even though I was already traveling in one direction, once I arrived at the U-Turn sign, the car turned and started to drive in what seemed like the opposite direction.
“I am bringing a shift, a turnaround to the direction you have been heading. It’s not that you have been going the wrong way. I AM calling you to move with Me in a different direction,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“It may seem I am taking you in the opposite direction of where you thought we were going. Where you have been going one way, I will call you to follow Me into another place. Where you planned to go left, I will lead you right. Where you planned to stop, I will lead you to go.
‘You have asked Me to turn things around. You have decreed turnaround in agreement with Me even when you did not see it yet in the natural. The turnaround that I already released in the Spirit, I am now causing to manifest in your life.
But you must trust Me and believe Me in the midst of what seems like resistance. Allow Me to lead you in the new direction, for as you believe and trust in Me, I will lead you into abundance, victory and overcoming.”
Isaiah 30:21 (ESV) “And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.”
18 May 2026. Run On Wings Like Eagles
“My Child, many things are vying for your attention and affection. There are countless pulls and distractions, and this has sat heavily in your spirit. You are not functioning in the fullness I have called you to live from,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“Look again at the systems you operate in, the people you connect with, the places you feel called to, the numerous pulls in your life and the things that drive you. I AM asking you to relinquish control and submit to me in fullness, once again building on Me and in Me. Don’t build out of trauma, pain or wrong roots. I want you to be rooted and established In love, in Me. What does that look like?
I invite you to move in step with Me, to know My Voice, to do things in My Strength and not your own. Will you let Me strengthen you? Will you allow Me to renew your strength so you can run again on wings like eagles? Bring Me your weariness and pick up strength instead.
I want you to move with Me in full partnership and in unity with Me. You are overwhelmed at the weight of what you are carrying but I haven’t asked you to carry it alone. Come to Me once again and let us soar together.”
Isaiah 40:31 (ESV) “but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
15 May 2026. The Glory of Kings
“Today I call many of you into fresh movement. It’s been a while since we sat together and spoke about your life, work, home, friendships, Church, communities and mission,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“You have been obedient to what I called you to do. Now it is time to dwell with Me again, to listen to Me again. For it is the glory of kings to search out divine revelation.
The season ahead requires you to be where I call you. I need My People to move into the places I AM calling you to — new job roles, new homes, even new locations. Don’t worry, I will give you the desire to move. Come sit with Me and listen once more.”
Activation: Today read Genesis 32:22-32 and reflect on how Jacob wrestled with God and gained blessing. Then read Genesis 18:16-33 to see how Abraham negotiated with God. Lay before The LORD every area of your life, then ask Yahweh if He wants anything to change or if He is pleased with where you are. Let God know what you desire and ask Him if it is what He desires. Come to a decision together, for God is inviting you to the negotiating table. Then be obedient, and walk out the commands of The LORD.
Proverbs 25:2 (NIV) “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.”
14 May 2026. No Longer Orphans
“I, The LORD, speak directly to your heart. You are not an orphan, My little one. You have a heavenly Father who loves you deeply, beyond anything you could imagine. I need you to come out of agreement with the enemy, and his countless lies on this matter,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“I AM that I AM. I went to Sheol to secure your sonship. Adam’s sin brought the separation. That’s why I corrected it. I pulled you from darkness into My marvellous light, and called you Mine.
Use the spiritual weapons I have given you to silence the enemy once and for all. Because when you know who you are, and who your Father is, we will do mighty exploits together.
Never doubt that I love you, and yearn for you. To be in constant communion and tightly entwined in your life. That is why I sent My Son to die for your sins. So I could bring you back to Me as My child. For you are part of My family, My beautiful child.”
Activation: Find a place to spend time with Father God. It could be outside, or somewhere in your home, where you can pour out any feelings of abandonment and despair. Ask your heavenly Father to bring total healing to your heart. Allow Him to walk you through the process of putting your identity in Him. Let God do the work.
John 14:18 (TPT) “I promise that I will never leave you helpless or abandon you as orphans, I will come back to you!”
13 May 2026. Place Your Hand in Mine
“My Hand is empty so that your hand may be placed in it.
I seek fellowship, but you hesitate.
I seek closeness, but you give only parts of yourselves.
I long to transform you, but you resist change.
See My Hand lying open before you, scar-marked for you.
Take My Hand now, and I will heal you and lead you.
I AM no stranger; you see Me in My Word.
I AM The Word, and what I have promised I remain faithful to.
You need to place your hand in Mine and trust Me.
It is time for distance to end and for friendship to begin.”
Activation: Look in the spirit and see Yahweh before you. Notice His mighty hand stretched out, waiting for you. Breath deep, reach out and take hold of God’s hand. Feel the courage flow from Him to you. Ask God how He would like you to be a friend to Him.
Isaiah 41:13 (NIV) “For I am The LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”
12 May 2026. Time to Sow
I saw The LORD gathering people into His arms. As I watched in the spirit, The LORD poured seeds into their cupped hands. As the seeds filled their hands, tears filled their eyes and they started to weep.
I hear the people’s hearts cry, “There’s a famine, LORD! How can we sow in a famine? There is a drought of forgiveness, peace, justice, and equality. How can we sow your seeds at this time?”
“I AM gathering you close to My heart,” says the Spirit of The LORD. “I AM The LORD, Who gives seed to the sower. I AM The LORD, who causes a hundredfold harvest in times of famine. I AM The LORD, who keeps His promises. I AM The LORD who commands you — Sow where I tell you to plant.
I command the time of planting and the time of harvest. Even if you sow in tears, I will lead you to reap with songs of joy. Carry My Seeds faithfully! Sow where I show you, build where I tell you to build, and you will return with songs of joy, carrying a harvest with you.”
Activation: Receive God’s seeds by faith and ask The LORD where He would like you to sow his seed today. It could be a new venture, or simply a kind word.
Psalm 126:5-6 (NIV) “Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”
11 May 2026. Blossom In Season
“Burst forth and blossom where I have planted you,” says The Spirit of The LORD. In the spirit I saw a field full of flowers – tulips, daffodils, snowdrops, crocuses, seasonal flowers all blooming together. A riot of colours erupting in scent and glorious sight.
While they were all beautiful and crafted by God’s hand, some were out of season. They were out of step with the timing of The LORD.
The Spirit of The LORD says, “Now is not a time to rush ahead and operate in your own strength. There is a time for everything and you need to trust that My timing is perfect. My Will will be done.
I AM not asking you to bloom on your own. Blossom with Me. Build with Me. Don’t operate from a place of exhaustion. Do not allow confusion or lies from the enemy to rob you of your time to flower forth. Stay in step with My spirit.
You are enough. Your shape, your sound and the way you fragrance the atmosphere is enough. It is who I have created you to be. Do not rush when others flower early, or try to shrink back if your time comes first.
Stand tall. Stand out. And see how brightly you bloom with Me.”
Song of Songs 2:12-13 (NIV) “Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.”
8 May 2026. Tend To Your Roots
“My child, people have begun to do what is right in their own eyes and focus on their appearance more than on Me. Unknowingly they have uprooted themselves from Me by trying to live on yesterday’s manna and past testimonies. I have a fresh Word and fresh testimony for you today!” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“Oh, My people – return to Me and tend to your roots in Me before outward appearance and desires. Remember I am the source of life and nourishment. I am the One who waters, prunes, and causes fruit to burst forth.
Drink deep of the living waters I have for you. Rest in My Word and in My Presence. Delight in the fruit I have for you, the testimonies waiting for you.”
Activation: Ask The LORD where you may have abandoned Him or dug your own wells apart from Him. Then tend to your roots by repenting and planting yourself in His Spirit, and deeply in His Word. Commit to deepening your walk with Him. Ask Yahweh to fill you to overflowing. Thank The LORD for His faithfulness to you.
Psalm 1:1-3 (ESV) “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of The LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”
7 May 2026. As Seasons Change
“My dear child, as the seasons change, you know you need to change the way you dress. Your winter coat is designed to keep you warm as temperatures plummet. But if you wear your winter coat in summer heat, there is a potential danger to your health. If you wear flip-flops in the snow, you could become sick. Not all things are right in every season,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“I want you to understand that the same applies in spiritual matters. Take a moment and look at what you needed in previous seasons that you have allowed to follow you through the door into this season.
In a time of shaking, much of the old will no longer be useful or helpful to you. Thought patterns, daily rhythms, even work-life balance will need to be reassessed.
Allow Me to show you the new ways of thinking that will hold you in the shaking. Allow Me to clothe you in the right garments that will hold you in this season. Allow Me to reform patterns of rest so that you can remain alert.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 (ESV) “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”
6 May 2026. United With Jesus
I sat in the spirit and saw Jesus sitting next to me smiling, holding both of my hands. As I gazed into His eyes, I noticed they were like pools of living water inviting me to go deeper. Then they were like an endless sky, inviting me to come higher.
I began to get lost in His eyes so much that it seemed we were more one than two. Suddenly I could feel an exchange like electricity. Jesus was pouring His life into me and taking from me every dead and toxic thing that had come against me. The old literally began passing away as His life poured into me.
Then Jesus said, “Remain in union with Me. I AM your place of victory and wholeness. Although the power that raised Me from the dead lives in you, you must remain in Me as I am in You. Then you will overcome as I have overcome.”
Child of God, ask Jesus to show you or tell you what your union with Him is like. Ask Him how to live from this place. Then press into your union with Jesus and remain there. Remind yourself the enemy attacks on your life are no match for the power of His life in you.
John 15:5 ESV “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
5 May 2026. Burn Bright
I saw a small dark room in the spirit. At its centre was a wooden table with a burning candle on top. The flame brightened the room but a sudden gust of wind threatened to blow out the flickering light.
The Spirit of The LORD says, “My child, I have called you to show people the way as you shine light in the darkness. Yet in this season I AM calling you into more. Don’t settle for less, be expectant. Don’t see yourself like that little candle which can be blown out in a moment. This is the day of expansion. This is the day of expectation. Let your fire flare up to burn bright.
Have I not called you Mine? Have I not made you in My own image? Come closer, and feel the warmth of My Love. Don’t be afraid of My consuming Fire. I AM The Light that shines in the darkness, I AM The Light the darkness cannot overcome.
No matter how you feel inside, or how others see you on the outside, I AM beckoning you to be a warrior who burns so brightly that no night will be too dark, and no wind capable of extinguishing your Fire. Show The Fire of God in you, and be a beacon of light which points people to Me.”
HEBREWS 12:28-29 (ESV) “Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.”
4 May 2026. Embrace Your Authentic Self
“I AM restoring your original design to you. In this hour I want you to embrace your authentic self in the way I created you. My original plan of your character when I thought of you,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“Maybe you’ve become quiet and thoughtful, always listening to rules. But what if that’s not who I made you to be? What if I created you to be bold? Free, uncontained, and unafraid to break through man-made limits to reveal the freedom of The Kingdom?
Maybe you’ve become someone who sits in a pew on Sundays and occasionally raises your hands in worship, but when others don’t, you hold back. What if that’s not My original design for you? What if you were actually made to dance and worship Me freely, in adoration, no matter where you are?
The enemy has stolen many parts of your identity, but no more! I AM restoring My original design to you.”
Activation: Declare “I embrace my authentic self!” Ask God to highlight something He wants to restore in you.
Ask questions like:
- What part of me have I been suppressing that You put inside of me?
- Where have I conformed to what people said over me, instead of staying true to how You made me?
- What is a lie that I believe about myself?
- What would I look like if I fully embraced how You created me?
- What small step can I take today to express Your original design?
Psalm 139:14 (NIV) “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
1 May 2026. Hear My Voice!
“My People, blot out the noise and the clatter. Keep watch over the gateways into your life and take heed of the sound that comes from heaven. Be sure to attune only to My Voice,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“The enemy will try to distract you with political diatribes, wars and rumours of war, but stay unshaken and focused on Me. I AM about to reveal to you both individually and to My global Bride, new projects and missions for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
They won’t look like anything you saw in the past. Which is why being My sheep who know and hear My voice is key in this time and season.
For while the world may seem to be in chaos, I know the end from the beginning and I am not confused or taken off guard. Victory is Mine and I want you to reflect it wherever you go, as you are led by My Spirit.
So concentrate: listen to the sound of My voice, recognise My heartbeat and trust that I will take you into and through the plans I have for you.”
Isaiah 30:21 (NIV) “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.””
