26 April 2026. Beware Saul’s Armour
Many in the Body of Christ are battle weary, tired, weighed down by armour that’s heavy and doesn’t fit. The Spirit of The LORD says, “Sons and daughters, many of you are burdened and contained by the expectations of well-meaning people, by outdated traditions that have no place in the life I have called you to live. Do not ‘borrow’ what may have worked well for others. For it will not bear fruit in your life in the days ahead.’
You are My Children — the ones led by the Spirit of God. Have I not made a way for victorious living in the power of the Holy Spirit? Trust in who I have called you to be and how I have shaped and formed you. Your life experience, gifts and character are unique to you. Each one is special.
In every situation where there is ground to be taken or an enemy to defeat, listen to Me. Allow My Spirit to lead you in new ways, with bespoke strategy to gain the victory. These are days of acceleration and change, and outdated methods will no longer prevail.”
1 Samuel 17:38-39 (NLT) “Then Saul gave David his own armor—a bronze helmet and a coat of mail. David put it on, strapped the sword over it, and took a step or two to see what it was like, for he had never worn such things before. “I can’t go in these,” he protested to Saul. “I’m not used to them.” So David took them off again. “
27 April 2026. Wisdom to Face Giants
“I AM giving you Wisdom to face giants. My children, do not become overly familiar with the little you know of Me. I AM calling mature sons and daughters as My united Church from the four corners of the earth. Be One as I AM One,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“Do not let flesh and blood guide your decisions. I speak to you as a Father — be cautious of desiring to be led by the flesh, void of My voice. Those who mute My voice, mute My Spirit. They will invite spiritual deafness and dumbness into their heart. Will you make vain attempts to lead the Word, or will you allow the Word to lead you?
I call whomever will listen and respond to be battle ready. Submit to Me that I may sharpen your axe and bow. From young to old, use your axe to cut off the heads of serpents and giants. Brothers and sisters, take your bows and aim at the enemy placed on the backs of others.
My sons and daughters — take one another’s hands my sons and together, ascend My holy mountain.”
Activation: Ask God to speak to you as a Father and show you where you have remained faithful to His instruction.
Proverbs 4:1-2 (TPT) “Listen to my correction, my sons, for I speak to you as your father. Let discernment enter your heart and you will grow wise with the understanding I impart. My revelation-truth is a gift to you, so remain faithful to my instruction.”
24 April 2026. See Heavenly Things
“Come into My presence. Spend time with Me today, for many things are possible with Me. Come and see heavenly things, spend time in My throne room and gaze upon Me,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“Take time to rest in My Presence. For in Me you will find peace. Allow My Spirit to minister to your heart, bringing healing and wholeness and transformation. Listen to Me as I share revelation for you, for your life and for what I AM doing in the earth.
Sit in the tent of meeting and worship, moving beyond distant servant to beloved son and daughter, and friend. Watch as I reveal heavenly things in the spirit, giving guidance for your days and nourishment for your soul. Be like Joshua and remain in communion with Me.”
Activation: Set aside time to meditate on a scripture passage and ask God to show you what it means. Allow The Holy Spirit to help you see in The Spirit and guide you to what He wants to show you. Take note of what The Holy Spirit says and thank The LORD for His Presence.
Exodus 33:11 (NIV) “The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.”
23 April 2026. Ruach Elohim
“I AM coming to you with urgency. Take a deep breath! Breathe deeply of Me, My Power, My Spirit, as if your life depended on it. For the mighty breath of God changes things,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“Did I not form you from dust and breathe life into your lungs? On the day of Pentecost, did not the violent rushing wind of My Holy Spirit come from heaven to fill the whole house, and all the believers within?
My Son, Jesus, told His disciples to wait for the gift promised by the Father, of being baptized with the Holy Spirit. The disciples were to wait for My breath, My powerful Ruach to fill them. As it was then, so it is today.
My people, many have moved with good intentions but without making sure they were in step with the Holy Spirit. If you want to move in obedience, to speak, to prophesy in my Power, make sure to regularly breathe deeply of my Ruach on a continual basis. Pursue fullness of spiritual overflow, allowing yourself to be filled with My Spirit so that every area of your life is full of Me.”
Job 33:4 (NIV) “The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”
22 April 2026. Walk in God’s Plans
“There is a divine path beneath your feet. Today I invite you to partner with Me in fresh maturity. Do not walk in the path of man, but on My holy path. For the wisdom of man is foolishness to Me,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
“I AM not looking for a bride who follows the ways of man. Follow Me! Pursue My path and My plans. Will you allow yourself to ask Me for the gift of true godly wisdom, and care not for the wisdom of this age?
Will you live out the plans I have for you? Will you trust Me with your life? Come and trust Me for your future, for the days before you.”
Activation: Today The LORD is inviting you to a fresh expansion of maturity in Him. Lay out the rest of this year before The LORD, show Him your calendar or diary for the rest of this year. Show Him your plans, then ask Him what He wants you to do, and what His plans are. Write what He says down and then ask Him to help you walk in His plans for the rest of the year, and to do what He wants you to do.
Jeremiah 10:23 (NIV) “Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps.”
21 April 2026. Pick Up Your Sword
“I have taken you through a time of refreshing rest and necessary recharge. Now, it is time for you to pick up your sword, and head straight into the battlefield. For your sword is no ordinary sword — it is The Sword of The Spirit, the word of God.
I AM calling you to live on the offensive as a mighty and valiant warrior, rooted in the eternal God, speaking my Word into the atmosphere and into the lives of those around you. So that you can take ground from the enemy and stop the devil’s schemes.
Kneel in My Presence, for today I AM anointing you. My child, put on My full armor, know your strength, and with it, stand against the powers of darkness, using divine weapons to demolish demonic strongholds.
Rise. Pick up your Sword, and fight!”
Activation: Kneel in the presence of The LORD. Allow Him to anoint you, and fill you to fullness with the power of His Holy Spirit. Now stand, place on you the full armor of God, and head into the battlefield.
Ephesians 6:14-17 (NIV) “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
20 April 2026. Display My Glory
“Step into your assignment and display My holy power to the world. I have placed My Holy Spirit inside of you, and given you the power of the name of Jesus to heal the sick, drive out demons, set people free, work miracles, preach and proclaim the good news of the Gospel,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“Many in the Body of Christ have been in a season of preparation for a life call, now is the time to fulfil it! I AM inviting you into encounter with Me for purpose.
Moses was set apart from birth as a prophet and one whom The LORD would use to deliver the children of Israel. Yet he spent decades in the desert tending sheep until it was time. In a holy moment, I called him by name. It was a divine encounter that changed his life and commissioned him to change the destiny of a nation. Do not miss such a moment in your life.
Silence the voices of insecurity, for you do not do this alone. You have My Spirit inside of you, and I am with you! In this time of shaking across nations, the world needs to see the supernatural power of My Holy Spirit working through My people in every aspect of life. It’s time to display My Glory on the earth through you!”
Acts 1:8 (NIV) “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”
17 April 2026. Take Ground
“Hark! Hark! Hark!” says The LORD God Almighty. “It is time to sharpen your listening skills for I AM moving in the earth. I have gifted My Bride with an ability to hear the marching of the armies of heaven.
This is not a time to be sleeping, unaware of how Jehovah Sabaoth is moving across the nations, and what the plans for the enemy are. Awaken from your slumber, attune your ears and take up your position!
Many in the Body have allowed spoken promises to make them dull. Urgency has left their spirit and their focus is on earthly matters rather than heavenly calls. This is the hour to clear your ears and listen!
Do not let spiritual chaos or attacks move you to retreat. Do not allow dullness to mark your life. Take courage, hold onto My hand and move forward in peace, in wonder, in awe. Stand shoulder to shoulder with others in our Family of God, taking turns to rest and heal. Sing praise, worship, grab hold of faith and tune in to what The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is saying over you.”
Activation: Over the next 30 days, take communion at sundown then sit before The LORD for a prophetic word of Kingdom strategy. Write it down, date the instruction then take action.
1 Peter 5:8 (ESV) “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
16 April 2026. The Path to More Fruit
“You have felt the pain of pruning. I have removed people, places, and mindsets that have been stumbling blocks to your spiritual growth. For every branch I have pruned becomes even more fruitful,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“I AM refining you to bring you clarity, and to reveal who you really trust and follow. The pain of pruning will not be wasted. It has produced a deeper dependence on Me, increased your trust, and strengthened your faith in Me.
You have desired a wider reach, a reach that comes from the maturity of the branch. To walk in righteous boldness, to speak with purity, truth and power. Carrying the weight of My Glory cannot be done by branches that aren’t mature. Show now the fruit that comes from remaining in Me and I in you.”
Activation: Ask The LORD to show you what you look like as His branch in the spirit. Ask Him what fruit you are producing well. Ask The LORD to show you if there are any fruit not growing and if so, why. Allow space for The LORD to show you what needs to be cut off or pruned back to allow for spiritual maturity.
John 15:2 (NIV) “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.”
15 April 2026. Saved for Eternity
“I sent My Son to save you. Not saved for a moment or a day. Saved for eternity. Beyond time. Beyond death. Forever with God. For Jesus is the Way, the bridge between humanity and Yahwah. And whoever believes in shall have eternal life,” says The LORD.
“Jesus sent My Holy Spirit to live in you. For you are a meeting place between heaven and earth. You are dust that carries the divine. And to those afflicting spirits whispering in your ear “Did God really say?”, it’s time to assert to them the reminder of who you are, and Whose you are.
This is a call back to royal identity. This is a watchman trumpet sound to declare the Truth of who you are over yourself. That you are a Child of The LORD Of Heaven’s Armies. That the Ancient of Days says “You are Mine.”
So now My child, lift your eyes beyond your now and see your circumstances with an eternal perspective. And declare out loud “I belong to Jesus. And nothing can separate me from His love.”
John 3:16 (AMP) “For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
14 April 2026. Receive My Peace
“My Beloved, I AM not a distant and impersonal God. I know the cares and concerns of your life, both close to home and across the globe. I see hearts that are troubled over family, relationships, health issues and provision. Fear looms as the nations rage. I do not condemn you but want to reassure you that I have overcome it all,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“Amid trials, bring to Me those things that would overwhelm. Entrust every person and situation into My power to heal and transform. Talk to Me in Prayer, prophesy to bring change and declare truth from My Word. Be expectant and faith filled.
Above all, receive the gift of My Peace. My Peace is not merely the absence of chaos, crisis or concern. My Peace is powerful to bring inner transformation and gives supernatural capacity to overcome every trial. Live from a heart posture of victory and not defeat, even as the complexities of life are being worked through.
Be thankful on the inside and speak My word to your world. My Peace in you is attractive and will draw in those who don’t yet know Me. It speaks of My love and power which is so different from that of the world. Let My Peace, power and presence mark you.”
John 14:27 (ESV) “Peace I leave with you; My Peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
13 April 2026. Great Expectations
“What do you expect this day to bring? Victories or defeats? Land taken or ground conceded? Delight or disappointment? Or perhaps your expectations are less risky?” says The LORD.
“I AM The LORD your God. Every day is a gift I provide, a creation I sustain and a promise I keep. Stop looking at things through human eyes and consider them through My perspective, what I have prepared and laid out for you. Your time is not defined by human endeavours nor are your achievements measured by the world’s standards.
My children, did I not say that My plans are for you to prosper, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future? Change your outlook from an earthly one to a heavenly one: See what I see, comprehend what I comprehend.
As you discern My thoughts and dwell in My Word, you will be the tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. You will go forward with a Kingdom mindset in the knowledge that My expectations for you are always great.”
Activation: Find in Scripture some of the people whom God promised great things to, and reflect on the pledges He made to them. Consider those in the light of Jesus’ prophetic word to His disciples, that “whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing – and they will do even greater things” (John 14:12 NIV) through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Give thanks to God that this word applies to you.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares The LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
10 April, 2026. Your Identity Restored
“Gaze on the majesty of Who I AM, My child. Come and dwell with Me. What do you find most beautiful about Me? Where do you want to know more about Me? Set your eyes on Me, and you will begin to come into the intimate depths of My heart for you,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
‘I AM restoring your sense of identity and self as you gaze on Me. Continue to look, and you will find yourself changed by My Presence and My Power. Dwelling with Me will enable you to know, and be known by Me. It will strengthen and equip you for the days ahead.
My Child, fix your eyes on Me for I long to do a work of hope and healing in you. Live in constant communion with Me. This will enable you to stand firm. Gaze on Me and know My Presence and Power that transforms every situation, and infuses you with hope. Find peace in Me!”
Psalm 27:4 (ESV) “One thing I have asked of The LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of The LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of The LORD and to inquire in His temple.”
9 April, 2026. Boldly Step Out
I see in the spirit two children playing catch in a field, throwing the ball back and forth. Each time one of them catches the ball, they take a step back. The distance becomes wider and wider. But as each child steps back, they become bigger and stronger.
“I have equipped you to take bigger steps and bigger risks with Me in this season,” says the Spirit of The LORD. “No longer do you need to see every little detail before stepping out in faith to catch what I am saying to you.
Be bold. Step out with Me. Trust Me. Hear what I ask you to do and be courageous to obey.”
Activation: Pray this regularly over yourself — “Father in Heaven, I ask for the courage to step out and do the things You have asked me to do. To be bold enough to speak to whoever you lead me to. To partner with Your Spirit in this next season of growth. In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 NLT “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For The LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
8 April, 2026. Come Away With Me
“Come away with Me, My love. Walk with Me on the wings of the wind and share what’s on your heart. And I will share what is on Mine. Silence the false thoughts that tried to convince you I am not for you, and enter My presence,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
‘Here you will find that I AM always for you and never against you. Here you will know Me as the God who sees and loves you. I know when you sit and when you rise. I discern your thoughts and am intimately acquainted with all your ways.
Like a close friend and more, I know what you will say even before you speak, because I knitted you together in your mother’s womb with My love. Where can you go from My presence? There is no place that I AM not there.
I go before you and I walk behind you. I guard you and My hand is upon you. You are never alone for I AM always with you. I will never forget you, for you are written on the palms of My hands.
Come away with Me, My love. Come abide. Let us gaze upon one another. Sit with Me until you sense the fullness of My love. Sit with Me as often as you can. I AM waiting for you.”
Song of Solomon 2:10 ESV “My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away…”
7 April 2026. Authority to Trample
I was led in the spirit to a large chamber, icy cold and dark. As I walked through the room, demonic beings lay on the ground. They squirmed and slithered away as I passed by. Divine revelation revealed these creatures were afraid of me, but they felt secure because no one had challenged or removed them for many years.
The Spirit of The LORD says, “This is the time to know your authority from Jesus and to take a stand against the enemy in your life, especially those long established strongholds that the enemy is confident he holds securely.
I AM LORD of your life, My precious child, and I will guide you and protect you as you take stand against the enemy and evict him. I have given you authority to overcome ALL the power of the enemy.
I AM The LORD of Heaven’s Armies. I cast out spirits with a word. My Bride — stand on My word, grab hold of My authority and evict the enemy! Today is your day to walk in freedom from every stronghold of the enemy.”
Luke 10:19 (NIV) “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”
6 April 2026. Run the Race Again
“You are My joy! For it was for you that I endured the cross. I wanted to have you as My children, as My prize. I endured, and it was worth it. YOU are worth it,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
‘What are you willing to endure for Me? For I have called you as one who runs the race of endurance. I have a plan for your life: for you to share the good news of Jesus, welcome people into My family, work miracles, raise the dead, make disciples where you are – with Me you can do all of this!
You are not alone, for I have called you Mine. I invite you to see Me now with you, running beside you. I have a call on your life; it is time for you to run the race again.”
Activation: As a prophetic act, position yourself as if at the starting point of a race. Look in the spirit and see Jesus next to you, also ready to run. Ask Jesus, “How do you want me to run the race of faith today? What have You called me to do?” Trust in Jesus and walk out what you have heard.
Matthew 10:7-8 (NIV) “As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”
3 April 2026. He Bore Our Sins
“This is your Invitation — I AM calling your name! I have Called you time and time again. But you keep turning away from Me. I tell you, do not carry the shame of your actions, your choices, your lifestyle. I come to you as your Rescuer, your Saviour, your LORD Who will set you free,” says The Spirit of The LORD.
‘Sons and Daughters, I come to you with unwavering love, a love so wide and high and deep that nothing can separate you from it. Return to me. Cry out My name and encounter Me. My name holds power that will break off every chain of bondage. Come and encounter Me — it is time to come home.”
Activation: If the shame of your past is weighing you down, cry out now the name of Jesus Christ. Encounter Him as your Saviour, Healer and Deliverer from sin. Jesus endured the cross for you. Reveal to Jesus the places you thought were too dirty for Jesus to love, too dark for Jesus to shine His light into. He already knows what they are, He is just waiting for you to share them with Him. The light of the world is waiting for you.
1 Peter 2:24 (NIV) “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.”
2 April 2026. The Passion of God
A mountain on fire, flames touching the sky — this is what I saw in the spirit. It filled the sky, roaring wildfire filling the air. Many people stood near the mountain but most wanted to pull back from the sizzling heat.
“My Children, now is the time to be set apart for My deep, passionate love. For I AM God who loves and prepares My Bride. This consuming fire is My Fire of passionate Love for you,” says the Spirit of The LORD.
“I AM inviting you to embrace Me. Come and let My everlasting love pour over you and cover you. Let Me cleanse away all things that are profane and unholy in your life. I AM calling you today to be a part of My pure and spotless bride, to be one in whom My soul delights.
Do not yield to the urge to pull back, and withhold parts of yourself from Me. Resist the temptation to live your own way, separate from Me. My love for you remains unchanging. Run to Me.”
Deuteronomy 4:11-12, 24 (NIV) “You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness. Then The LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice…For The LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”
1 April 2026. Get Ready to Bear Fruit
“Many in My Body have experienced a delay in fruitfulness. But be encouraged — I have chosen you to bear fruit that remains, so get ready to bear fruit!” says the Spirit of The LORD.
‘I have seen how the enemy has resisted some of you. I have seen how distractions have come to derail you. Because I have compassion on you, in this season I AM the Gardener who is giving you another year.
Hear Me in this. Do not be caught without fruit in its season, for I will come for My fruit. So now is the time to prepare for fruit-bearing. Get ready; get ready, get ready; and do not delay any longer. Take your authority over the enemy and throw away any distractions.
Ask Me to till the soil of your heart and to uproot that which has hindered you. Then do not return to old habits. Allow Me to fertilize the soil of your heart with My Word and with My Presence. The time is at hand to root yourselves in Me with resolve and consistency, and to turn away from anything that has come between us.”
John 15:15 ESV “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”
