August 16, 2022. Restitution and Reward
“I AM rewarding to you what the enemy has tried to kill, steal and destroy over the last years.
He tried hard to silence you and make you useless. He did everything to rob you from your
destiny. Many times you were on the floor and ready to give up. But you didn’t! You got up
again and again. I AM so proud of you, My Beloved One! I have seen you and all your
circumstances. I will bless you richly for your perseverance and your obedience.
I AM coming with a double portion of My Blessing. I AM coming with restitution and reward.
Now is your time to receive and be filled with joy again. Famine is over and there is so much
waiting ahead of you. Open your hands to receive My Blessing and drink deeply from My Goodness, your King.”
Isaiah 61:7 (NIV) “Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting
joy will be yours.”
Psalm 34:8 (TPT) “Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God.”
August 15, 2022. Chosen
“My beloved, today you must know that you are chosen. I chose you long ago and I will continue to choose you each and every day. When the sun rises each morning, I choose you. When the sun sets, after the busyness of the day, I still choose you.
Will you choose Me?
Will you sit and dwell with Me? While away the hours with Me?
It is My Joy to walk with you and talk with you; to be your confidant, your love, your friend.
There is no where you can go where my love cannot reach you. You are like a seal upon My Heart; we are joined as One.
While it may feel like others have passed you by — that you have been forgotten or overlooked in the past — please believe that My Gaze never left you. My Love for you will never fade and I shall not pass you by. You are My precious Inheritance — the one whom I Love.”
Activation : Ask Holy Spirit if you are carrying any wounds of rejection or hurt. Release them and ask Holy Spirit for a fresh in-filling of this truth: You are chosen my God!
Ephesians 1:4 (TPT) “And he chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe!”
Song of Songs 2:1 (TPT) “I am truly his rose, the very theme of his song. I’m overshadowed by his love, growing in the valley!”
August 12, 2022. Speak Out Truth
“Release My Truth into the atmosphere. The Truth of who I AM; of what I AM doing on the earth; the promises that I have made. I dwell amidst the multitudes and yet so many are hardened to The Truth of who I AM.
Oh my beloved Church! Would your words speak to The Truth of Who I really AM!
Today, would your declarations release truth into the atmosphere, drawing people’s attention to The Truth of Who I AM.
I AM Love.
I AM Redemption.
I AM Faithful and I AM Just.
When you speak Truth, the darkness must flee, giving way for more light to come in. The more truth you speak out into the atmosphere, the more the darkness will fall.
When you speak The Truth of who I really AM, you scatter seeds of Love, Joy, and Compassion amongst those who surround you. Do not underestimate what I can do with a small scattering of seeds.”
Activation : What truth is God asking you to speak out today? Perhaps it is a testimony? A declaration of His goodness? Talk with him today about how you can speak out His truth into the atmosphere.
Ezekiel 3:1-4 (NIVUK) “And he said to me, ‘Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel.’ So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. Then he said to me, ‘Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.’ So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. He then said to me: ‘Son of man, go now to the people of Israel and speak my words to them.’”
August 11, 2022. Occupy
“I have created a place for you to occupy that I have ordained and boundaried for you. I have called you by name to occupy this space, not just in your family, your community, your workplace, or in your fellowship on the earth, but a place in the spirit realm.
I have called you to occupy territory — real estate in the spiritual realm in each of your environments. As you occupy the place I have called you to, you impact the ground I have given you, creating an impact for The Kingdom. You are called by name to stand and occupy the space I have allotted to you.
Just as the Israelites were given clearly defined territories, I have marked out land for you to possess, both in the natural and in the spirit realm. Start by stepping in faith into the place you have been allocated to. There are places where you have not stepped forward, where you have abdicated your position, where you have given ground, and where you have left a gap in the defences.
Occupy your space!”
Activation : Ask Him to reveal to you territory He has ordained for you to occupy.
You might like to pray: “Lord, show me anywhere I have given ground to the enemy, where I have not possessed the territory that you have allotted to me or, like the Israelites as they contemplated the Promised Land, where I have allowed the enemy to deter me from entering the ground you have given me.”
Acts 17:26 (NIV) “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.”
2 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV) “But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you.”
Numbers 33:53 (GNBUK) “Occupy the land and settle in it, because I am giving it to you.”
August 10, 2022. Access
“I told you I would prepare a place for you and I have. I have made a place specifically for you in my kingdom, in my house. You have pushed this reality, this truth, into the future as something to be accessed when I return. Yet, I have already seated you in heavenly realms in Me; there is a reality for you to access right now.
I have given you access. Access to Me, to The Throne Room, to all the resources of Heaven. You have full access right now and it is My Desire for you to dwell in that place of total access.
It is a place of abiding, strength, and security. It is a place of authority as you are seated far above the kingdoms of this world, in me, and out of reach of your enemy.
Dwell in Me. Live aware of your heavenly seating and your position in Me for you have full access.”
Activation : Ask the Father if there are any lies you are believing about your access. Ask Him what the truth is that He wants you to replace the lies with.
John 14:2-3 (AMP) “In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.”
Ephesians 2:6 (AMP) “And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus…”
Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
August 9, 2022. My Name
“In this season of transformation, the enemy is trying to kill, steal, and destroy the place you are in right now. The enemy is trying to make you think that the next season is going to be impossible for you. That you don’t have what it takes to walk in that new season . It makes you feel naked and afraid, as if you are in the dark.
But Church, do you know My Name?
Do you truly understand the meaning of My Name?
My Name is The Word and in The Word there is Life. Do you know what happens when you use My Name? It’s not just a name you use, because you are praying or worshiping. It’s The Word backing you up. It is every truth, every promise, every blessing, every declaration that is in The Word, because I AM The Word.
I will never leave you nor forsake you. So when the enemy comes and tries to kill, steal and destroy what I have for you now and in the future, command him to leave in My Name. And know that when you use My Name, every knee must bow down and the enemy must leave. There is no other option! Use My Name with this in mind and start walking in the authority that I have given you!”
Activation : Ask The LORD:
What of your Name do I truly understand?
What of your Name do I need to get a better and deeper understanding of?
How can I partner with You in the coming week to get a better understanding of what it means when I use your Name?
John 1:1-5 (ESV) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 10:10 (ESV) “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
August 6, 2022. I Have a Question
“I want to ask you a question My Beloved Child; How are you doing? I already know the answer, but sometimes it is good to verbalise your feelings honestly, and I will listen to your reply.
Yes, I know it has been tough getting through the last season, and the new season will be much the same, with so much new growth and change. I know it will challenge your comfort zones. But one thing you did gain access to in the last season, and you do not even realise it, but I have released to you my gift of endurance.
Yes, supernatural endurance is a gift that will enable you to walk through the times that are coming, and you will not be shaken. My Gift of Endurance is grounded in My Character, and as you draw from it and endure, you will become like Me.”
Activation : Ask The LORD for his gift of endurance and embrace what is before you, knowing that you have been equipped beforehand to make it through in victory.
James 1:12 (NIV) “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that The LORD has promised to those who love him.”
Psalm 136:1-2 (NIV) “Give thanks to The LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.”
August 5, 2022. Choices
“With every thought there is a choice. Is it from Me? Is it truth or a lie? What will you allow to take root and grow in your thinking?
With every step there is a choice. Will you follow truth or lies?
As you submit to Me, I will lead you and show you the way forward, but you have free will. You can make your own choices. You must allow My Spirit to lead and actively choose how to spend your time; choose who to align with; choose your words wisely; choose to trust Me; choose to follow peace; choose to live from rest.
I will help you and guide you but you must partner with me and choose the path of life.”
2 Timothy 1:7 (NIRV) “God gave us his Spirit. And the Spirit doesn’t make us weak and fearful. Instead, the Spirit gives us power and love. He helps us control ourselves.”
Deuteronomy 30:19 (NIV) “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”
August 4, 2022. Hands Off
“Be selective about what you put your energy into and where you invest your time and efforts. As things are shifting and moving like tectonic plates beneath you, hold everything lightly. Deliberately submit it all to M e and leave it there.
We are in a place you haven’t been before and your journey so far will not inform the road ahead. You won’t help anything by trying to analyse and figure things out for yourself.
Submit to the spirit and focus on me alone; trust that I can handle it all and will guide your steps. Hand Me all your responsibilities and let me show you what to drop, what to pick up, what to build.”
Exodus 14:14 (NIV) “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) “Trust in The LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
August 3, 2022. Rewire
“Renewing your mind is the doorway to a new era. Hand me your knowledge and let me multiply it. Submit your mindsets to me and let me upgrade your thinking.
You cannot operate in old thoughts, old defaults, and believing the old lies. What worked before won’t wash in the future. As you hand your mind to me there will be a complete change of perspective. I will provide a fresh map for this new landscape. Suspend your earthly thinking and let me bring the expansion you need to steward the new.”
Prayer : LORD, I submit to you every aspect of my mind and thinking. I give you everything I know and understand. I repent for every place where I have believed lies which have affected my thoughts and my life; where I have carried wrong mindsets that are not in alignment with truth . I give you permission to rewire my thinking and ask LORD, that you would transform me by the renewing of my mind.
Philippians 4:8 (ESV) “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Romans 12:2 (ESV) “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
August 2, 2022. The Great Reshuffling
“For some there is waiting, others rest. Some are regrouping and many are recovering. Some are to clear out, some are to wind down, while others are to rise up.
There is a great reshuffling under way but it is not a time for fear!
Engage with the process and embrace this season. Find joy in the journey, because it’s all in My Hands.”
Activation : Ask God to clarify where you are in this great reshuffling. What is your focus in this season? Are you to rest or rise, wait or move? Submit your timings into his hands.
Psalm 31:14-15 (NIV) “But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.”
Daniel 2:20 (NIV) “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.”
August 1, 2022. Oneness
“I AM pulling the threads together. I AM pulling it all together into closeness, unity, oneness.
You are coming into a fresh unity with me; a new awareness that I AM with you, in you, for you and through you.
You are coming into a oneness within yourself where all the fragments finally glue together and bring an unshakeable settledness.
You are coming into a unity with your brothers and sisters in Me.
Watch as I bring a new divine connection across all of My Creation.”
Colossians 1:17 (NIV) “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Romans 8:19-23 (NRV) “For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God, for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its enslavement to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.”

Glory to our King Jesus. This is confirmation to what the Lord is doing in us. I can feel it in my spirit. I just lost 4 members of my family within 6 months and it has been very painful but He has manifested in a great way in my life that I am at awe at his love and faithfulness toward all of us. You can feel His presence very strong in these difficult times as he has orquestrated the way of how He has brought these loved ones to himself without a doubt. I am so thankful for His Mercy and love for his sheep. I have learned much in these trials and the gospel has come to me so real and powerful it is amazing of how great is our God. I receive this Word and hope many will too because it is so real and beautiful to know that He is always with us and will never leave us or forsake us. Thanks for posting this awesome words.
