30 April 2025. Recognize Me
“My People, I need you to recognize Me. Recognize Me, as I AM moving in your lives. Don’t slumber as your generation slumbers. Hear me as I move. Hear me in the sound of movement that arises across the globe and comes from My moving armies. I AM sounding the alarm! I AM warring over nations. Ekklesia, Arise!
So, My love, arise from the places from where you’ve been hiding. Stop following, where I called you and positioned you to lead. Let go of what I AM not calling you to do or be and BE who and what I AM calling you to be. For I will give you all that you need, as you follow My instructions. Just like Moses, Joseph, and Daniel—who boldly approached Pharaohs and kings and allowed Me to shake nations—SO I WILL BE with you. However, right now, I need you to deepen your recognition of Me. I AM asking for your complete surrender, your full cooperation, and your unwavering dedication.
Know Me despite the fear. Know Me despite the things that have previously kept you imprisoned and even despite the identities you held in past seasons. For this is a new season; this is a new time. Know that I AM doing something new. You are a new creation, and I have qualified you. My qualifying, My voice, and My presence, are ALL that you need. I will be all that you need. Dare to lean deeply into Me, to hear what I hear and to see what I see. Allow Me to touch, change, and empower you deeply. Move with Me, My beloved!”
Activation : Spend time with the Lord and ask Him: Where are You currently moving in my life? Where are You inviting me to lean deeper into You? Seek His insight to reveal areas where you may have blocked Him out or ignored Him and where you have leaned into old truths or ways of functioning, or where you have qualified and defined yourself outside of Him.
Take the time to receive His heart and share your thoughts about this with Him, truly communing with Him. Where needed, take a moment to repent. Allow His Word and His love to wash over you and embrace the empowerment that comes from His truthful awareness and loving presence.
Jeremiah 33:3 (ESV) “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”
Amos 5:4-5 (NIV) “This is what the LORD says to Israel: “Seek me and live; do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba. For Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.””
29 April 2025. Bursting Forth!
“At creation, even before I sent rains to water the earth or created man to work the ground, springs burst forth from within to water the land in preparation for the growth of plants, grains, and shrubs. This is a beautiful picture of how My Holy Spirit is bursting forth in the hearts of people in new and unprecedented ways, moving powerfully from the inside out. Every life is so precious, and I know how to soften even the hardest ground.
Do not limit your expectations to previous experience or to what you see happening with your own eyes in the lives of those you love. Yes, I AM sending out labourers to bring in the harvest, but I AM also releasing dreams, visions, and angelic visitations that bring people to their knees in one encounter. Discard all talk of how many ‘conversations’ it takes on the journey to salvation before they have a life-changing encounter with Me. Behold, the days are numbered, and I AM truly doing a new thing! I want you to partner with Me as you pray for your communities, family, and friends, but not with expectations that come from a mindset limited by the past. Maintain a heart posture of faith and expectancy which gives space for My Holy Spirit to move in sudden and extraordinary ways!”
Activation : Spend time with the Lord, and as you do, repent of any discouragement or unbelief that you’ve held where you have not yet seen friends or family come to Christ. Ask God for scriptures to declare over their lives and receive fresh faith as you make the declarations rooted in God’s word. Imagine the same people worshipping before the Lord, then praise God for what He is about to do!
Genesis 2: 4-6 (NLT) “When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil. Instead, springs came up from the ground and watered all the land.”
Isaiah 43: 18-19 (MSG) “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.”
1 Timothy 1: 13-14 (TPT) “Mercy kissed me, even though I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor of believers, and a scorner of what turned out to be true. I was ignorant and didn’t know what I was doing. I was flooded with such incredible grace, like a river overflowing its banks, until I was full of faith and love for Jesus, the Anointed one!”
28 April 2025. Trust the Gardener
“There is a land that appears desolate and barren,” says The LORD. “Its trees have lost all their leaves, and the branches have not just been clipped and trimmed but have been completely severed with an axe. This, My People, is what I AM doing to you.
Although it may seem harsh, I AM actually caring for you as I tend to you. You are accustomed to smaller adjustments and lesser types of pruning that you could easily understand whilst in the process, but in this season, I AM leading and guiding you blindfolded into a higher level. Will you trust Me once more? Will you believe that My Purpose and Plans for you are higher and greater? Therefore, the necessary adjustments that I AM making in your life must be bold and unapologetic in order for you to bear more fruit. Surrender then to my ways and be expectant of remarkable and extravagant growth and expansion.”
Activation : Read John 15:1-3 (NIV) once, then reflect on each verse with The LORD and allow Him to give you deeper understanding:
“I AM the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you”.
v.1-2: Pray for revelation about those areas in your life that have become fruitless and must be cut versus those that need pruning. You may want to ask Holy Spirit how you can partner with him to facilitate the process and be more fruitful.
v.3: Jesus is the Word of God made flesh and all who believe in him are cleansed, all who believe the Word of God are washed. It is by trusting the promises of God that we are made clean. With this truth, go deeper with The LORD to understand if you truly trust his promises. Then let Holy Spirit check your heart to see whether you have tainted spots that need further purification.
25 April 2025. Your Current Focus
“It is My Will for you to give thanks to Me and to praise Me in every circumstance. Throughout scripture My Character is revealed — I AM loving, kind, merciful, just and righteous. I AM omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. I AM full of wisdom, faithful and patient. I will draw near to those who come to Me and will be found by those who earnestly seek Me. I AM calling you to a lifestyle of worship and reverence.”
Activation : Read Psalm 146. The writer made praising God his personal lifestyle. He declares that as long as he lives, he will sing praises to The LORD (v1-2). He encourages us to place our trust solely in the eternal God, not in mortal man. Other translations refer to these as princes, human beings, powerful men, experts, noblemen and human leaders — for those people cannot offer eternal salvation and all their wise plans will perish when they die (v 3-4). Consider the voices in your own life that you have trusted above God’s voice — lay them before HIm now and ask for forgiveness for not trusting Him fully.
The psalmist then outlines the reasons why we should put our faith and trust in God alone, presenting examples from everyday life how God showed compassion towards His people. The Creator of the world blesses those who put their hope and trust in The LORD (v 5-9). Give thanks to God for the examples in your life where you have known His provision.
The psalmist concludes with the powerful declaration that our faithful Lord will reign forever, throughout all generations (v 10). Speak this truth over your family now.
Quiet your soul, meditate on this psalm and let the words stir up a song of praise in your own heart. Read, pray or sing your praise and thanksgiving aloud now, declaring the things that you know to be true about who God is, what He has done in your life and your trust in Him to lead you forwards.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV) “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
24 April 2025. Your Current Focus
The LORD says, “Do not get weary in well doing, My beloved. You will see the fulfilment and the fullness of My Promises for you if you do not faint. I AM encouraging you to persevere, endure, persist and press! Remain steadfast and do not give up. Take a breather if you must, but get back up and go again.
This is a time when you must persevere and keep your eyes on the prize. Not the object or the thing, even the goal, but keep your eyes on Me. I AM the ultimate prize and reward.
Deception is extremely prevalent and at very high levels in the earth in these times and can be very subtle; should you become distracted and lose sight of Me as the goal as you move forward, you could easily slip into deception, idolatry and delusion. So, stay focused as you press towards the mark — Me!”
Activation : The LORD is encouraging us in this word to not only assess our priorities, but our focus. Take time to intentionally examine, with Holy Spirit’s help and guidance, where your current focus lies. Ask Him to identify any pursuits that you’re working towards that have replaced Him as the primary objective and have inadvertently become an idol within your heart. Lay those things down before him now, and declare Jesus’ rule and reign over your priorities.
Philippians 3:14 (MSG) “By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.”
1 Corinthians 9:24-26 (NLT)” “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step…”
23 April 2025. Wisdom From Above
“In the days ahead I exhort you to ask daily for My Wisdom, so that you will thrive and not just survive. In order to navigate the new, I AM leading you into unchartered waters where you will no longer be able to rely on previous experience or on what you think you already know. Ensure that when you ask for wisdom you do not partner with doubt, but believe in Faith and you will receive.
My Bride, you are seated in heavenly places, therefore ask for My Perspective and Solutions for every situation and interaction you face, however small. Then as you walk in obedience to what I show you, you will be like the wise man who built his house upon the rock, and you will not be caught up in reaction to the pressure of what is happening in the world. Instead, you will reveal Me as I use the ‘foolish things’ of this world to confound those who are wise in their own eyes.
Divine Wisdom produces lasting fruit for the Kingdom. It aligns and gives courage and strength to partner in new ways. It builds enterprises and businesses that are established and endure. My wisdom is always life affirming, peaceable and pure. It heals and restores relationships in family and communities and brings great glory to My Name!”
Activation : Bring before The LORD the specific areas in your life where you need His wisdom. Hold them before Him and spend time waiting on Him. Focus on the passage in Proverbs 24 and focus on family, business (work/ministry) and community – where is The LORD leading you in each of those areas. Thank God for His wisdom for each situation and be prepared to obey any instruction.
Proverbs 24: 3-4 (TPT) ‘Wise people are builders — they build families, businesses, communities. And through intelligence and insight their enterprises are established and endure. Because of their skilled leadership, the hearts of people are filled with the treasures of wisdom and the pleasures of spiritual wealth.”
Matthew 7: 24-25 (NIV) “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
1 Corinthians 3: 18-19 (NLT) ‘Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.”
22 April 2025. Remembrance
“My Beloved, remember the words I have spoken to you. Remember the things I have done for you. Remember the path I have walked with you. Remember Who I AM, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the Holy One of Israel. Remind your spirit of Who I AM and what I do — like David did in this Psalm 103.
Do not forget that my name is holy and that I AM the Holy-One. I AM always found by you — seek the foundation of a life in my presence in joyful surrender and intimate love.
Do not forget that I have forgiven and healed you, that I have redeemed you. My acts in the past are the foundation to step out upon today in strong hope and confident trust.
Do not forget that I surround you with My Grace, compassion and goodness for as long as you live, and that I renew you like an eagle. My Word is the foundation to lead and guide you into the future that I have already prepared and secured for you.
So be grounded in Me, be bold and trust me for every step of the way. Together we can do it! I AM the One who has come through faithfully in the past and I will also come through as the Faithful-One in your future.”
Activation : Read slowly and out loud through Psalm 103:1-6. Let the verses inspire you to remember your own story with The LORD; the story of your family and of your people. Praise God for what he did in the past. Appreciate him for who He is. Then look forward and decide to move on with The LORD however He leads you and whatever the cost. For He is worth it. Declare your readiness to obey him and choose his ways in all you are, in all you say and in all you do.
Decree: LORD, you have come through faithfully in the past and You will also come through faithfully in the future.
Psalm 103:1-6 ‘Bless Adonai, my soul! Everything in me, bless his holy name! Bless Adonai, my soul,and forget none of his benefits! He forgives all your offenses, he heals all your diseases, he redeems your life from the pit, he surrounds you with grace and compassion, he contents you with good as long as you live, so that your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. Adonai brings vindication and justice to all who are oppressed.’
21 April 2025. Clothe Yourself
“Although you are one person, do not consider yourself less than vital. You are Mine and I have placed you purposefully where you are as part of My Kingdom strategy.
Do not believe the lies calling and tempting you to doubt your identity as My child. Your identity is held in my love for you, and in the kingdom purposes that I have set within you.
Hear My Voice amongst the cacophony of this world, and follow Me. Tune in to My call. I AM fine tuning your ears and eyes so that you will be able to sift through the distractions of this world to discern My Spirit and track with me.
You are one of My strategic weapons, fully clothed in My armour and standing with Me in victory. So clothe yourself in truth, holiness, peace, faith, salvation and My Word.”
Activation: Each morning for a week read aloud the following passage from Ephesians 6:11 -18 (TPT):
‘Put on God’s complete set of armour provided for us , so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser. Your hand to hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. . . Put on truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on holiness as the protective armour that covers your heart. Stand on your feet, alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace. In every battle, take faith as your wrap around shield for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one! Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. Pray passionately in the spirit, as you constantly intercede…’
Ask God to reveal a hidden heavenly strategy for one of the pieces of armour, each day, and expect God to train you in how to use it well. Clothe yourself daily with the spiritual protection and authority that is offered to you through Jesus.
2 Chronicles 20:15 (NIV) “…This is what The LORD says to you; Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
1 Samuel 17:47 (NIV) “All those gathered here will know that it is not by the sword or the spear that The LORD saves, for the battle is The LORD’s and he will give all of you into our hands.”
18 April 2025. Wake Up Caleb Part 3
“Know no limitations. Stir up the zeal that I have placed within you. Do not make agreements with any voices of hopelessness or defeat. You are strong because My strength is in you to accomplish what I have called you to do, and I will see it finished.
Age, circumstances or defilement does not diminish you. My spirit is in you! The atmosphere of fear and intimidation has no effect on you. Because you have not wandered away and you have kept your focus on Me, your overcoming spirit is stronger than it has ever been.
Let My Spirit in you arise to lead your body, mind and emotions into a holy wholeness, and magnified sense of wellness. This is not a time to fear the giants of the land but to be the terror that sends them fleeing.”
Activation :
1. Examine your habits. Be vigilant about your body. Find a balance or rest, exercise and good nutrition. Your body needs proper nourishment and physical strength that is your responsibility to enforce and maintain. Value times of rest as much as activity. Set goals and follow a plan.
2. Strategize Plan times to pray, reflect and ask The LORD for his strategy for the situations He has determined for you to war over. Know your specific territory and keep your intercession boundaried by His wisdom and guidance. He is the Man of war that you must look to for your assignment. Take care so that you will know what to walk into and what to walk away from.
3. Declare Daily speak scriptures out loud to strengthen your spirit and mind (I have the mind of Christ… The enemy is under my feet…. I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind…I AM established, anointed and seated by God…. I AM God’s temple…God has prepared my hands for war and my fingers for battle)
Joshua 14; 10,11,12 (NIV) “Now then, just as The LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I AM today, eighty-five years old! I AM still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me this hill country that The LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, The LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”
17 April 2025. Wake Up Caleb Part 2
The Spirit of The LORD says, “Examine where you have walked with me in the past and be vigilant in examining your spiritual inheritances. For all of My Promises are true and are passed by My Faithfulness from generation to generation. What you inherit by My Spirit may contrast with what you may have inherited in the natural. I AM a God of the generations and when you allow Me to be your inheritance, then I can overcome all that hinders your advancement.
I require a pure and spotless Bride! Follow Me completely with your whole life in My Hands. For when you inherit My Promise of Oneness, you are enabled to walk boldly overland and spiritual territory that I have meant for you to acquire with new confidence. Step out, for I AM giving you a new anointing to reclaim anything that was lost to be found again and to bring dead things back to life.
Everything in you must be given back to Me, your Creator, for the perfection I need. Be one who is unblemished and without worldly corruption in thoughts, words or actions. No more procrastination or shrinking back. Walk in your authority that I have given you.
You know the priceless cost my son paid on the cross for you and I know the cost you will pay to be wholly mine. Do not deviate, so that the legacy of love and obedience you leave behind can be strong and established for those that follow after you. Walk with Me in wholeness and enter into your spiritual inheritance. It is worth it!”
Activation : Sit quietly and ask The LORD to reveal the journey of your life to you. Ask Him to show you any paths you have taken that were not ordained by Him. When He makes these revelations, repent for those missteps. Pray for His guidance and help to become fully alive to His Spirit, with renewed mind and cleansed heart. Make a commitment in your heart to be obedient to the path He wants you to follow. Walk with Him in bold authority, trusting that the new direction He is opening for you will lead to a progression from glory to glory, as He has not given you a spirit of timidity. Stand firm in knowing that you have been chosen and appointed to bear much fruit.
Joshua 14:9 (AMPC) “And Moses swore on that day, Surely the land on which your feet have walked shall be an inheritance to you and your children always, because you have wholly followed The LORD my God.”
16 April 2025. Wake Up Caleb Part 1
The Spirit of The LORD says, “I call you to remember who I AM and what I have already shown you and done for you. Go boldly just as Caleb did when he went to Joshua and reminded him of something long forgotten during the years of wandering caused by the unbelief in my great promise.
Remember who I AM, for I have made tremendous promises over your life that you have yet to realize. I AM ready to take you to the places of great fulfillment for My Kingdom. Do not shrink back or think of yourself as unworthy. Be bold and courageous because you have already seen how I will overcome the giants and give you abundant provision.
Just as Caleb did, you held fast to the promise and did not doubt when others did not have the heart to believe. Resisting impatience, you have remained steadfast in obedience, aiming to adhere to my words and instructions.
There are those that you have previously walked with who did not have the vision that I placed before them, but you continued to seek Me and trust Me to fulfill everything that I have called you to accomplish.
Stay alert in the spirit and purify your perceptions knowing what is possible with Me while asking with humility and reverence.”
Activation : Take some time to sit with God and ask Him to remind you of your promised land, even if it has been forgotten for a long time. Renew your belief that He can do far more than we ask or imagine and repent for any time you’ve wandered away from Him and His Kingdom’s agenda. Ask Him to renew your vision and to increase your faith and patience, so you can persevere while believing in the greatness of His promises. Lastly, thank Him for placing the victory of your promised land in your heart.
Joshua 14:6-8 (NLT) “A delegation from the tribe of Judah, led by Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb said to Joshua, “Remember what The LORD said to Moses, the man of God, about you and me when we were at Kadesh-barnea. I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of The LORD, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land of Canaan. I returned and gave an honest report, but my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the Promised Land. For my part, I wholeheartedly followed The LORD my God.”
15 April 2025. Eyes Up
“My child, look up! Lift your eyes and seek Me. It is time to stop focusing on your problems and start looking at Me. AM I not greater than your circumstances? AM I not the God of the impossible? When situations seem overwhelming and out of control, look up and see Me.
I ask you, what keeps you from staying focused on Me? What pulls you away? Don’t you know that I AM The God Who knows all things? Nothing takes Me by surprise. So, lift your eyes to Me and recognize that I have the answers. I can do abundantly more than you can even imagine. My Kingdom is limitless, and I can and will supply all your needs; however, you must keep your focus on Me.
Stay focused on Me and do not let the enemy or your emotions keep your head down. Refocus and keep your gaze on Me. Speak boldly about what I say regarding you and who I created you to be. It’s time to dream again, but this time I want you to dream with Me. Are you ready?
I want you to know that you are My desire and My delight. I rejoice over you with singing, and My banner over you is love. I keep you in My secret place because I long to be known by you. I want to assure you of My Presence in your life and that I will never leave you nor forsake you. When things look difficult or you feel pressed from every side, refocus and fix your eyes on Me again. It’s time for you to come and behold all that I AM.”
Activation : Take some time to meditate on 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 and 18. Ask The LORD where you need to refocus your attention. Whenever you find your focus shifting to negativity, circumstances, or problems, say out loud to yourself, “Eyes up, eyes up!” and remind yourself of these scriptures.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT) “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.”
2 Corinthians 4:18 (NLT) “So, we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”
Hebrews 12:2 (NLT) “We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”
14 April 2025. Flagging You Down
The LORD says, “STOP! Can you see the red flags I AM waving to get your attention? It is time to stop! Don’t just keep doing what you’re doing. You may have noticed that what may have been easy for you up to this point has now become a struggle, and so I’m now requiring you to check in with Me to check the status of what you’ve put your hands to. This could relate to your professional life, church life, finances, family, or education.
The season is changing, and I AM doing something new. I AM taking you off the well-worn path and leading you onto an untrodden track. You are a groundbreaker in this season, and you will prepare a new path for others. This path is the answer to the deep cries of your heart. You have recognized a need, and now I AM releasing you to take action. But this will require a shift in your perspective and a change of focus — a more deliberate focus on Me.
Come and walk with Me with your eyes fixed on Me as we walk together on this new path that I have prepared for us. When we reach a crossroads, wait on Me to see which direction I will take, and be ready to follow Me. This waiting may feel like a waste of time at first, but I never waste time. In the waiting, I AM preparing, resourcing, equipping, and teaching you so that like the wise virgins, you will be ready, equipped, and prepared. Keep looking and watching so that when I appear, you will be ready to follow Me.”
Activation : Each morning for the next seven days, present the upcoming day to God and ask Him about His agenda for you. Inquire about the next steps He wants you to take and what His expectations are for you. Do you need to surrender something or take a step forward?
Invite Jesus to direct your steps, conversations, and thoughts, and to rearrange your diary according to His plans. Ask The Holy Spirit to help you recognize His opportunities each day and to give you the boldness and courage to step out with Him, hand in hand.
Psalm 32:8-9 (TPT) “I hear The LORD saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway of your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!””
Matthew 25:10 (TPT) “While the five girls were out buying oil, the bridegroom appeared. Those who were ready and waiting were escorted inside with him and the wedding party to enjoy the feast. And then the door was locked.”
11 April 2025. Hidden to Release — Part Two
Isaiah 49: 2 (ESV) “He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away.”
“Mighty warrior, it is time to leave the hiddenness. Come and line up with me for what I want to do next. I AM asking you to let go of some of the things you have become comfortable in. This is a season of exposure. It is time to step forward into the light and embrace that position in Faith.
Allow Me to show you where control has disguised itself as security. As an arrow yield’s to the hands of the archer so I long for you to be in My Hands. Control will prevent you from being fired, it will take you off course, it will slow you down. But in yieldedness you will have power, strength, focus, and freedom.
Let Me show you who you are in the Spirit. Take a moment and look! Let Me show you the arrow I have polished. See as I remove you from the quiver ready to be fired.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to reveal to you any areas where you are holding onto control. Agree with him that this will not protect you. Repent of partnering with the spirit of control and ask The Holy Spirit to lead you into yieldedness. Spend some time lingering in His Presence, allowing Him to remove the desire for control and replace this with greater trust in Him.
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.”
Jeremiah 51: 19-20 (NASB) “For He is the Maker of everything, and of the tribe of His inheritance; The LORD of armies is His name. He says, “You are My war-club, My weapon of war; and with you I shatter nations, and with you I destroy kingdoms.””
1 Peter 1:13-16 (ESV) “Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I AM holy.””
10 April 2025. Hidden to Released — Part One
Isaiah 49: 2 (ESV) “He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away.”
“My precious child, understand the season I have taken you through. You have sensed hiddenness and distance from the promises I have spoken over you. You have looked for the way forward and seen nothing. Do not believe the lies of distance and disqualification for this is not from Me.
I have been meticulous in sharpening you. I have removed those blunt surfaces, worked through the details of your heart and understanding. Just like an arrow being lifted from a quiver, know that I have given you pin point accuracy in your ability to hear and follow Me. In the vigorous polishing I have purified you to be a greater reflection of Me. It is time now to rest in me as an arrow yields to the hand of an archer for I AM lining you up for direction and pointing you at the target. Allow My Spirit to rise up in you, to equip you and anoint you for purpose, allowing Faith to flourish.”
Activation : Your mouth is like a sharp sword and you a polished arrow. Spend time with the Holy Spirit asking him where you have believed the lies of distance from his presence or his promises, and disqualification from his purposes for you. Repent of partnering with these words and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal his truth. Write down what he reveals to you and meditate on these truths allowing your mind to be renewed.
Malachi 3:3 (ESV) “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to The LORD.”

9 April 2025. Set Apart
“My People, you are living in sobering times. This doesn’t mean you should be afraid. Quite the opposite, you are my children and I’m calling you to set the pace, change the atmosphere, and bring Kingdom Culture. To this end, however, I’m requiring you to step up into a higher tier.
As you go about your everyday life, take heed to what and who is around you. Ask Me to enhance your discernment. Remember that My Word says: you are not of the world, just as I AM not of it (John 17:16). I have set you apart as a royal priesthood, a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9), born again of incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23) therefore don’t allow sin to soil you, whatever that may look like.
Be attuned to the melody of My Spirit in order to recognise immediately what is off-key. I AM sending you like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes (Matthew 10:16) and read the enemy’s ambush to gain ground.
Consider reading Matthew 13:24-30 and compare it to the situation in the world today. Then come back and ponder on the following verses:
v.25: What could the tares that have been sown in your field without you realising it look like? Ask The LORD to search your heart and reveal any bitter root that might attempt to corrupt its purity.
v.26-29: Scripture describes God’s children as “good seed”. Life happens however, and you inevitably come across “bad seeds”. Enquire of The Holy Spirit what is a tailor-made strategy to live with them without being affected by them.
v.30: We should all have a heart for lost souls. Pray to be stirred in the spirit and be active in soul harvesting for the Kingdom. Receive any blueprint of what your type of evangelisation may look like in this upcoming season.”
8 April 2025. Present Your Empty Jars
“My Child, this is a time for bold faith and unquestioning obedience.
In 2 Kings 4, the widow and sons, with only a flask of oil, obeyed Elisha’s instructions to collect many empty jars. This took faith and courage in their time of need. Elisha told her to borrow jars from her friends and neighbours and then to go inside her house and shut the door.
My beloved, shut the door on doubt! Stand on My Word until the miracle of provision is manifest in your life. Don’t allow the narrative of friends or family to undermine faith or the threat of circumstances to rob you of joy. Instead, choose to obey and believe.
As the widow presented each empty jar, pouring out from what little oil she had, it was filled to the brim! It was only as she ran out of jars that the oil stopped flowing. My child, keep presenting your ‘empty jars’ in faithful expectation to Me. Bring before Me your dreams, desires and areas of need. Do you need fresh oil in your family or healing in your physical frame? Do you long for a relationship to be restored? Do you need a miracle of provision, a new job or place to live?
I AM the God of abundance and multiplication. The oil of My Spirit will flow wherever there is faith to believe that I will do far more than you can ask or imagine. You have only to posture yourself to receive.”
Activation : Bring your ‘empty jars’ before The LORD and ask for His rhema Word for each. Ask Holy Spirit to fill you with fresh faith and then declare God’s truths over each area of your life. Spend time thanking Him for the provision and breakthrough that is coming.
2 Kings 4: 1-7 (NIV) “The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, ‘Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered The LORD. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.’
Elisha replied to her, ‘How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?’ ‘Your servant has nothing there at all,’ she said, ‘except a small jar of olive oil.’
Elisha said, ‘Go round and ask all your neighbours for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.’
She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, ‘Bring me another one.’ But he replied, ‘There is not a jar left.’ Then the oil stopped flowing.
She went and told the man of God, and he said, ‘Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.’”
Mark 11:24 (NLT) “I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.”
7 April 2025. Trust Me to Lead
The Spirit of The LORD says, “Let Me be the One Who leads! It’s time to put Me in the position to lead your life. For too long, you have said that ‘The LORD is your shepherd’ — but your actions have proven to be contrary to the statements you make as you recite the Scripture. What I require is more than mere recitations, I require wholehearted agreement with the corresponding action.
I have said that if you are willing and obedient then you will eat the goodness of the land, however, what is required is both your willingness and your obedience to My Ways of doing things and that means Me leading. When I lead, I guide you to places of provision and safety. I guide you to wholeness, not lack. But do you believe me and what I have said? Will you trust Me on the strength of My Word and My previous victories in your life? Or will you continue to take the lead and walk ahead of Me because your experience in life says that you know best?
I AM The LORD. In your heart, there needs to be a realignment of roles and responsibilities. It is my responsibility to lead and guide you and provide for you. However, it is your responsibility to trust Me to do so!
Activation : It is The LORD’s desire for us to be rightly aligned with Him. Take this time to intentionally work with Him in assessing the alignments in your life. Invite Him to identify any potential misalignments. Ask The LORD the following questions, and as He reveals the answers to you, be sure to journal both the responses and any instructions He provides. Then commit to taking the necessary steps toward aligning with Him:
Where have I been leading or taking on responsibility instead of entrusting it to Your leadership, Lord?
Where have I taken on the burden of providing for my needs, safety, or wholeness/ healing, rather than allowing The LORD to carry that weight?
Psalm 23:1-3 (CJB) “A psalm of David: ADONAI is my shepherd; I lack nothing. He has me lie down in grassy pastures, he leads me by quiet water, he restores my inner person. He guides me in right paths for the sake of his own name.”
Isaiah 1:19-20 (TPT) ““If you have a willing heart to let me help you, and if you will obey me, you will feast on the blessings of an abundant harvest. But if you are stubborn and refuse to obey, the sword will eat you instead.” The mouth of YAHWEH has spoken.”
John 16:13 (AMPC) “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].”
4 April 2025. Tell Your Story!
“I created every precious soul, child and adult alike, to love a story. Stories bring life in the telling and soften hearts. They break down barriers, captivate imaginations, teach and inspire. My eternal Word tells the story of My love and redemptive purpose for mankind.
Even My Son Jesus intrigued his followers with stories and parables which taught Kingdom truths, demonstrated by the healings and miracles which ensued. He also used stories to bring correction and expose the hidden motives of injustice, religion and pride.
Don’t underestimate the power of your story to awaken people to My love and to the Holy Spirit conviction of sin. My child, your story reveals an aspect of My nature and sovereign power that cannot be contradicted or denied. This is why I command you to tell your testimony to those I bring you, your family, children and to pass it on down the generational line.
In these days of great uncertainty in the world, your testimony shared with a neighbour or friend may bring light to the darkness, hope to the hopeless and direction for the lost. Your story is an opportunity to reassure the broken and hurting of My Goodness and My Purpose for their life. It is an invitation from My Heart to taste and see and builds Faith in the one I AM drawing to Myself.”
Activation : Why don’t you take time this week to write down your testimony or an aspect of your story that The LORD wants you to share? Pray for opportunities to do so in the days and weeks ahead and be obedient in this when they come.
Matthew 13:34-35 (MSG) “All Jesus did that day was tell stories — a long storytelling afternoon. His storytelling fulfilled the prophecy: “I will open my mouth and tell stories; I will bring out into the open things hidden since the world’s first day.”“
Matthew 5:15 (NLT) “No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.”
Joel 1:3 (NLT) “Tell your children about it in the years to come and let your Tell Your Story!”
3 April 2025. Eyes of Fire
“My beloved, it is time to come and behold Me as your King. Lift up your eyes and focus upon My beauty. Gaze into My eyes of fire and discern My burning passion for you and for My Bride. My eyes burn with jealousy for My Bride to be one with Me. I AM looking for those who can gaze upon Me and behold Me as a body.
Will you step into a place of going deeper, higher and further with Me? Will you bring others along too? Remember where two or three are gathered in My Name, I AM there in the midst of them.
It is time to gather again. It is not the time to pull back. Ask Me who you are to gather with. I AM looking for those who will behold Me, not only as an individual, but together with others. I AM looking for those who are willing to be transformed more and more into My image and allow My eyes of fire to consume them with the passion that I have for them.
Gaze upon Me and see My eyes of fire. Look upon My beauty. Don’t be afraid to look at Me. Come and behold all of who I AM.”
Activation : Spend time in His presence and gaze upon Him and allow His beauty to captivate you. Read Revelation 1:12-16. As you start to read each description of Jesus, stop, pause, and look to see Him. Use this as an invitation to encounter Him.
Revelation 1:12 (NIV) “I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands.”
Turn and see Him speaking to you. Begin to notice the seven lampstands.
Revelation 1:13 (NIV) “And among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet with a golden sash around his chest.”
See Him standing in the middle of the lampstands. Look and observe His robe and golden sash around Him.
Revelation 1:14 (NIV) “The hair on his head was white a wool, white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.”
Examine His hair, can you see how white it is? Slowly glance down to His face and look into His eyes. Can you see His eyes blazing as fire? Can you see His passion and love in His eyes?
Revelation 1:15 (NIV) “His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.”
Now scan down to His feet, can you see that they are like bronze? Look back up to His eyes and listen. Can you hear His voice that sounds like rushing waters?
Revelation 1:16 (NIV) “In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.”
Look at what is in His right hand. Can you see the seven stars? Glance back into His eyes. Gaze at His beauty. Can you see the sharp, double-edged sword come out of His mouth? Gaze upon His face that is like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
As you spend time gazing upon Him, look at His and pay attention to what He is trying to communicate with you. Enjoy this encounter with Him and be aware of what He is revealing to you.
2 April 2025. Heart to Heart
“My beloved Child, let us have a heart-to-heart talk. I long to have this chat with you. Let us sit down now, meditate on these words of my Servant King David. Let us have a heart encounter,” Psalm 61:1-4, NLT.
Verses 1-2: O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer!
“From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. I AM the God Who always hears. I AM the God who is always here. I will never leave nor forsake you. I will never abandon you. Even when you feel far away — at the ends of the earth — I AM there. Yes, My Beloved, I hear your prayers, I hear your cries for help. I see when your heart is overwhelmed. And I AM always ready to answer and to come to your aid. Why are you so desperate? Why do you doubt? Sit with me and let me uncover the roots of this to heal and free you. Unburden your heart to Me. Just let it out. I can deal with it. I AM not shocked by anything. Just be very honest and we can look at it together and find a solution. You will see that my solution is always surprisingly simple and easy. You just need to TRUST ME.”
Verses 2-3: Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
“My Beloved, I feel so honored by this your honest cry and request. I AM more than ready to lead and guide you. This is my heart’s delight. This is my steadfast and eternal offer to you. Come into my presence and be safe. I AM your Strong Tower. I AM your Safe Haven. I AM your Place of Refuge. I AM your Fortress. I AM totally reliable and dependable. Come to Me. Rest in Me and be safe. No-one can reach you, no-one can hurt you, no-one can harm you. You are totally safe when you are with me, when you trust Me and abide in Me.”
Verse 4: Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings!
“My Beloved, this is exactly my offer: You can stay living in My place of Holiness — there is no end and no limit to it. You will be sheltered under My wings forever — My protection will never run out. You do not have to earn it. It is for free. Please, do not hurry away. There is no better place than My Presence. Do not try to find other spaces or relations for comfort and protection. It is I. Stay with Me and be safe in Me. Enveloped in My Love you will be able to brave the fiercest storm and withstand the meanest enemy.”
Activation : Sit still before The LORD. Speak your heart and listen to Him. You may want to journal. Write down the longings and desires of your heart. Write down His answers to your heart’s cries. Let His Heart speak to you.
1 April 2025. Living in the Light
As children of God, those in fellowship with The LORD, we are called to live in the light. To live in the light means to be honest with ourselves before God. It means not making excuses for our behaviour and attitudes, but instead measuring ourselves against the standard that Jesus Christ has set for us.
Today, we explore the passage from 1 John 1:6-10. Grab your Bible, read through the verses, and allow the Spirit of The LORD to speak to you.
Verses 6-7: If we claim to love and know God, having fellowship with Him, but are not living according to His ways, we are deceiving ourselves and God. In other words, if we are living in sin — whether secretly or openly — we will face God’s judgment. When we are not walking in the light, we are living in darkness, which means living an ungodly life (Galatians 5:20-21), being self-centered, and pursuing personal desires. You cannot truly be called a follower of Christ if you choose to live an ungodly life.
Take time to sit with The LORD and ask Him to examine your life. Let the words in Matthew 7:21-23 serve as a warning: God is not only looking at your actions but also the fruit your life produces. Jesus calls you to live with integrity, not a double standard. Allow Him to search your heart. He knows your thoughts and motives, and today He offers you grace to repent and turn away from your sinful ways.
In verses 8-9 we are promised that if we confess our sins to God, He is faithful and just to forgive us. He will cleanse us from all our unrighteousness, and He will remember our sins no more (Hebrews 8:12). However, the key is being honest with ourselves and confessing our sins. Take time to repent for the sins the Holy Spirit has convicted you of. Rest in the assurance that God has forgiven you and will no longer remember them.
Verse 10 reminds us not to be foolish and think that we are without sin. To do so would make us call God a liar and show that we are not taking His word seriously. We often tend to be quick to forgive ourselves, but we must remember that it is not for us to define what sin is—it is God who determines what is sinful.
Jesus set the example by laying down His life and serving others. As followers of Christ, our lives no longer belong to us; Jesus is our Lord. Living in the light means following Jesus’ example in how He lived. Let our lives bring glory to God 24/7, whether we’re in the presence of others or alone.
