31 December 2025. Call the Shepherd
I looked in the Spirit and saw a lamb who wanted an adventure on its own. Being with the flock was one monotonous valley after another. Surely a little detour wouldn’t hurt? No one would notice its departure, for The Shepherd was far ahead and He had the whole flock to tend to.
The little lamb took its chance and left. Oh what a sense of freedom. To be away from the flock by itself. Surely it didn’t need to be afraid. This was just a quick time away from the Shepherd.
But it tripped and slipped and became tangled in awful prickly stuff that hurt every time it moved. Shame set it in and it felt so alone. But it remembered the Shepherd, the One who would come every time He was called. The One who showed His love for His sheep over and over again.
The lost lamb called and He appeared. The Shepherd knelt and unravelled the thorny bushes, speaking in that voice that warmed the heart, that voice the lamb knew. And the Shepherd led the little lamb back home.
Activation: Have you been caught in any traps lately? We all have our temptations to wander away from God – self reliance, isolation, self pity. We need the Shepherd to come and unravel us from the snares that catch us. Call on Him for your troubles and He will come!
Psalm 34:17-18 (NIV) “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
30 December 2025. Your Memories of Me
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Come down memory lane with Me. When I look at you, I remember when you first became a dream in My heart. And I remember when you gave your heart to Me.
I dwell on what I love about you, how you have grown and continue to grow. I recall your laugh and the times you were brave and strong, even when you did not see yourself that way. How I love and delight in you because you are, and always will be, the apple of My eye.
My beloved child, come down memory lane with Me. Let us walk together, every step will be taken in remembrance of Jesus, and all that His death and resurrection accomplished for you.
His testimony prophesies your breakthrough, your restoration, and your victory. Allow His testimony to overwrite your memory and become your truest reality.”
Activation : Take time to remember the testimony of Jesus in your life. Write down examples of the times the Lord came through for you in miraculous ways. Then thank Him for His goodness, and for being the one true God who will do it again and again because of who He is and because He loves you.
1 Corinthians 11:24 (NIV) “And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.””
29 December 2025. Burst Into Bloom
“You are like a beautiful rose in My sight. I AM coming to trim away the dead leaves, to cut off all that which is weighing you down. I AM shaping you more and more into the beauty of who I have created you to be.
My beloved one, sit with Me. Allow Me to examine your heart and unveil the things that I desire you to let go of. Release Me to show you a greater depth of beauty and awe that you carry of Me.
For know that I AM coming at this time to deepen your experience of Me, to increase the degree of My beauty which you carry inside. You are a carrier of My light in this world. And as you sit with Me and embrace My presence, I will mould you and further establish you upon My word.
Come and yield yourself to Me. Allow Me to further refine you, equip you and give you the things I desire you to have. And, for you will rise forth, bursting into full bloom of the beauty of the rose that I have made you to be, revealing My beauty to all around you.”
John 15:1-2 (AMP) “I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He[repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].”
26 December 2025. Let Me Unburden You
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Ask Me, My beloved, what you need to leave behind and what you need to carry forward with you. Don’t let habit and nostalgia hook you to the past.
I have a new way for you, a better plan. Therefore, be meek. Let Me unburden you. The future I have for you needs you to be flexible and light. Don’t cling onto the old wine skin. Be as soft and humble as clay on the potter’s wheel.
Embrace the stripping of what is superfluous, and keep that beautiful essence that I have been refining. T he new is waiting for you.”
Activation: Take your time to relax in God’s presence. When you are ready, ask Holy Spirit what you should leave in 2025 without looking back. Then picture yourself leaving what he shows you at the foot of The Cross. You might even want to do a prophetic act of taking off a jacket and taking a step into what The LORD has for you.
Matthew 9:17 (AMP) “Nor is new wine put into old wineskins [that have lost their elasticity]; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the [fermenting] wine spills and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so both are preserved.”
25 December 2025. A Life-Changing Discovery
“When I was just a young child, the Magi brought Me their most precious gifts. Because in the season of the longest nights, they didn’t stop searching until they found Me. And in an unexpected and uncelebrated place, the Magi made their most life-changing discovery: Me. The One whose rule and peace has still not come to an end.
This is your portion this season — to find delight daily in Me. You will find fullness in Me, in ways and places you’ve totally not expected!
You have been like the Magi in the story of young Jesus. You have looked for Me, seen what I AM doing and where I AM. Because of this your faith has become stronger. Your trust in Me has increased, to help you move forward in life decisions.
Now, My brave one, know that My heart is still for you. As you move from one season to another, don’t stop having precious time with Me or chatting with Me throughout your day.”
Activation: Look for The LORD like the Magi did. Consider your story in the light of Isaiah 9:6-7 and let that build trust: what is He leading you towards in this coming season and how can you partner with Him to journey into the fullness of that?
Isaiah 9:6-7 “For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of The LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!”
24 December 2025. Pursue Peace
“Many will come to lay their gifts at My Altar, yet do so while holding grudges and offenses. This is not pleasing to Me, nor is a gift I will accept.
If you want your gift to be acceptable to Me, consider with whom in the family of God you have a grievance, then go and pursue peace with them. Aim for reconciliation. Seek My Way of doing things, and ask Me how I would like you to approach this.
Start by reconciling your heart and thoughts to be in harmony with My own regarding the situation, and pursue reconciliation from that place. Move with My heart and the language that flows from My Spirit. Do not enter that moment with accusations or words born out of anger, bitterness, or hurt. Do not approach the reconciliation table expecting the worst. Place your expectation in Me alone, trusting that I will be the One to bring about reconciliation in the way I desire.
Once you have done what I require regarding reconciliation, then return to My altar with your gift.”
Matthew 5:23-24 (TPT) “So then, if you are presenting a gift before the altar and suddenly you remember a quarrel you have with a fellow believer, leave your gift there in front of the altar and go at once to apologize to the one who is offended. Then, after you have reconciled, come to the altar and present your gift.”
23 December 2025. Exercise Spiritual Authority
“Come up higher, stand in the gap and pray. I AM calling The Body of Christ to new levels of faith-filled intercession in preparation for what is to come. Nothing of significance in the Kingdom takes place without prayer. Ask Me to invite you into the throne room of Heaven to receive perspective and strategy for the days ahead.
I AM exhorting My Bride to pray in ways that build and birth kingdom solutions, expose and dismantle demonic structures, and position Godly leadership on the earth. I AM forming new prayer gatherings in strategic locations for those who know how to release My word as they prophesy and pray.
Just as in the days of Ezekiel the prophet, I AM searching for those who will stand faithfully before me and exercise authority in the spirit, so that the schemes and plans of the enemy are rightfully thwarted. So that My righteousness is advanced on the earth, transforming lives.
Sons and Daughters — as I search, let Me find you! Do not be ones who ‘mind the gap’ but, stand in it with faith and pray!”
Ezekiel 22:30 (NLT) “I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one.”
22 December 2025. Get Cozy
“I see the rushing. I see the hustle. I see the to-do lists, and hear the concerns this season brings. I hear all the ‘enoughs’ — will this be good enough, nice enough, will I have enough? Yet in the midst of this, I come to interrupt the busyness and frazzle of the season. I want to offer you My gift: the gift of My grace that is sufficient at all times.
My beloved, I AM drawing you into an intentional pause. Embrace moments to draw near to Me. As you do, I will draw near to you. In this season of holiday gatherings and gift-giving with those you love, include Me.
Take intentional time to pull away from the noise. Draw near to Me so I may refresh and enliven you. My desire is to envelop you in My lovingkindness, and remind you that I am the source of life and goodness.
No matter the situation or circumstance, I AM here. So get cozy with Me. Just as you would curl up with a good book and a hot cup of tea, curl up with Me and enjoy My conversation and embrace.”
James 4:8 (ESV) “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.”
19 December 2025. Who Dares to Knock?
As I looked in the spirit, I smelt the comforting smell of hot, crispy potato skins and felt the warmth of a fire. The sound of knocking echoed from a door I could see. Who would dare knock? Who could possibly wish to interrupt me?
I opened the door slowly to see my Father in Heaven, His hand extended out to mine. He passed me an empty plate, and walked in. He sat at the table opposite me and looked deep into my eyes. Although no words were exchanged, I knew in that moment that I was loved, forgiven and cherished. His smile towards me extinguished any doubt I’d ever had. It was His company that I longed for.
The Spirit of The LORD says: “You think you have found comfort in the warmth of your fires, in the food you eat and in the rituals you take part in. But I, The LORD, AM coming to interrupt what you think you need. For none of these things will sustain you. I AM inviting you to sit in My Forgiveness. Taste what it is to be loved and cherished. See that I delight in you. Come, let us eat together and make plans for the days to come.”
Activation: Ask The LORD to show you anything in your life that is distracting you and pulling your attention away from feasting with Him. Respond to The LORD knocking at your heart and sit with Him today.
Revelation 3:20 (NIV) “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”
18 December 2025. Pattern Of My Love
“My precious one, you have felt that I don’t see you, but I do. I see you. And you will see Me more clearly in the next few days. I am right here.
Speak My tender merciful words to your heart. It is a special rhythm of My heart that I AM releasing over you. My tangible Love is in every Word that I AM singing over you. Breathe in My refreshment, breathe in My Love, be transformed from a small larvae into a transcendent, colourful butterfly that flutters love and joy into all around you.
Now is the time to fly. Spread your wings and see the pattern of My Love. Witness all the other butterflies who are flying around you. Do you see the pathway of love that I AM leading you on?
When you need to rest, I will give you a sweet flower with roots planted deep into My love. Wherever you fly My precious one, I will fill you with My love and let you fly so others can experience My love the way that you have.
It is easy to fly on the divine breath of My love. See how My love lives in you, changing the people around you. As you share My love with others, watch as they are transformed as well.”
1 John 4:7 (NASB) “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.”
17 December 2025. Born Into New Life
“My Beloved, it’s that time of year that’s so familiar. You have read about My coming to earth year after year. Yet today I ask you to sit in awe of the incredible miracle that the Word made flesh was.
Sit with Me. Meditate on that I, who am not created but stand above My creation, choose to become flesh. I became one cell in the body of a virgin that divided and formed My body, and I was born into this world. Helpless. Reliant.
I had to learn to walk and to speak. I had to grow and become a man. The man who would take on the sin of every person created, and die. Only to be resurrected to the highest place in heaven. And I did all this for you.
My beloved, you must also die to your old life, and be born into a new life in Me. I have saved you not only from your sin, but I am making you to be more and more like Me.
As this year ends, meditate on what it means for you to only do what you see the Father does. How you can live in greater intimacy and oneness with Me. What a wonderful year of discovery we will have together beloved.”
Philippians 2:5-7 (ESV) “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.”
16 December 2025. Your New Splendid Clothes
“Throw off chains and coats of disappointment! Rejoice and leap for joy! Return to adoration, for AM I not worthy? Remember what My joy feels like. Remember I AM The LORD who saves you. I AM The LORD who restores what has been lost.
My hands are filled with garments of praise for you. Come and see what I have for you, mantles of joy rippling forth from My Hands. See the delight that I have in you, the love I pour forth out on you.
Come and adore your King, this is your invitation. For I wait for you, with splendid clothes of glad tidings ready for you to wear.”
Activation : Ask Jesus to show you the new clothes of praise He has for you. Let Jesus dress you in the clothes and praise Him as He does. Have fun with this activation!
Isaiah 61:3 (NIV) “And provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.”
15 December 2025. I Will Restore You
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Do not think that your trials and tribulations have disqualified you or thwarted My good plans for you. I know it seems the enemy has robbed you of relationships, finances, health, and dreams.
But I AM the God of seasons and transitions. I AM the God who restores all things to build My Kingdom, to build and establish you, for the sake of My Glory.
Therefore, take heart! Remember Who I AM and who I say you are. Because you are My Child, and you belong to Me. Do not fall for the lies of the enemy. Do not give the enemy power by agreeing with him. What the enemy means for evil, I will use together for your good. I will do more than you ask or imagine. I AM in the process of restoring all things; and I will restore you.”
Activation : Take a moment to repent for any known or unknown agreements with the spirits of poverty, discouragement and hopelessness that say you have been robbed and will never be restored. Give God everything you have lost, and thank Him for being the God of restoration.
Joel 2:25 (NKJV) “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the chewing locust, And the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you.”
12 December 2025. Intercessors Arise
The LORD loves conversation! The Spirit of The LORD says, “I AM asking you to come up higher to see what heaven has for the earth. I have seen you warring in your homes for your families, for your Churches, for the ones you hold dear.
In private places of prayer, I have taught you, stretched you, and tested you, so you could step into the authority I have given you. Now is the time for you to shift from the private places of prayer into praying together. For where two or more are gathered, there I AM.
I now call you into my throne room for I want to show you and give you My Plans. I will expand your prayer language, and give you words of knowledge that will shift the atmosphere around you. Gather in companies of intercessors and pull heaven to earth.”
Activation : Take time to sit with The LORD and ask Him to show you the weapons He has equipped you with for prayer.
Ask Him to show you the territories, regions, and people groups to pray and intercede for.
Write down what The LORD reveals to you.
Matthew 18:20 (NIV) “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
11 December 2025. Rain Drops of Love
The LORD says, “I AM pouring out raindrops of My Love! I AM opening the floodgates of heaven to send rains of healing and deliverance in The Nations. Though there are wars and rumours of war, I AM pouring out My Love for My Remnant, and My Glory will cover them.
This divine rain cascading out to My People will elevate and transform for such a time as this. In your worship time, receive this transformation. Receive the news scrolls I give you to fulfill heavenly assignments.
Allow My Outpouring to flood and fill you as you spend time with Me. Come to Me and feel My Holy Rain.”
Joel 2:23 “Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in The LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.”
10 December 2025. Kingdom Upgrades
The Spirit of The LORD says: “I AM a Father who gives good gifts to His children. I know how to equip My People for the journeys and battles ahead. So I’m issuing Kingdom upgrades for you to grasp hold of and use for My Glory.
I AM releasing more understanding of My Word, and greater wisdom to your minds. I AM enabling eyes to see further and ears to hear sharper. I AM giving strength to stand firm and for your feet to travel quicker. I AM softening your hearts to become more like My heart, and tuning your spirits to resonate more deeply with My Spirit.
To My prophets, I bestow blessings to prophesy deeper, see more richly, and watch more alertly. I bless the workers to speak over the harvest, and to work in the harvest. I bless My soldiers to fight for righteousness, to advance and win ground from the enemy. I bless healers to gather the lonely and the broken, and winsome way-finders to guide the lost back to Me.
Will you trust Me and take hold of the anointings and gifts you need? Will you walk with Me obediently and use them when I ask?”
Activation: Picture a bag filled with spiritual gifts, anointings and blessings. Ask The Holy Spirit to show you what is in the bag. Are there items you recognise that belong to you? Is there a new gift or anointing? Is there a blessing which has lain dormant, an anointing which has not been used for a while or a gift that is unopened? Pray for these to be activated, upgraded and increased in the next few weeks. Thank The LORD for His abundant provision and Grace.
Romans 12:6-8 (ESV) “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.”
9 December 2025. Step Into My Heart
“Step into my heart, My sons and daughters. Have I not told you that I love you? I AM aligning you with the rhythm of My heartbeat in this hour. I will show you the times and seasons with renewed clarity, from My position of Love.
I AM sending you to participate in this great outpouring of love. I AM turning the hearts of the fathers back to the children. As you abide in Me and I in you, so you will learn My heart. And by My Compassion, you will see hearts healed all around you.
You are blessed to be a Blessing. Receive it now!”
1 John 4:16 (NKJV) “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.”
8 December 2025. Dust Off My Words
“My Beloved, dust off the words that I have spoken concerning certain things to come that have not yet materialised. For I AM not a God Who would string you along with promises that don’t come to pass. I AM not a man that I would lie. I will blow life on what you thought had died, for I AM the Promise Keeper.
Dust off My Words. Take a closer look. Zoom in to see exactly what I have said. Inquire of Me on what is your part, and hold Me to that which I have promised. Use My words as your anchor in times of uncertainty and do not be shaken, for the time for fulfilment has come. Beloved — be expectant.”
Activation : Look back on prophetic words, visions, dreams or specific messages from The LORD concerning certain things to come in your life. Ask Him to show you what you may have missed. Inquire whether there is an action for you to take, a posture for you to have, a position for you to hold. Pay attention to what is your part. Hold on to what He promised. Ask Him to breathe His life on it and trust Him to bring it to pass in this season.
Numbers 23:19 (NKJV) “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good.”
5 December 2025. The Lion Roars
My beloved. In the midst of the uncertainties of this world, the Spirit of The Sovereign LORD says, “Have no fear, for I AM with you. Though it may feel like hyenas and jackals have surrounded you on all sides, the lion of Judah is here.
There is a roar He is releasing in this hour. It’s not only around you, but in you. Can you feel it bubbling up? Can you feel the roar rushing forth?
The enemy is cowering and fleeing. The tide of battle is turning in your favor. Can you see the monkeys that have mocked and laughed, holding your treasures in their hands? Watch as they release everything that was stolen, as the lion roars!”
Activation : Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Focus on The LORD. See the enemies and troubles that have weighed you down. See the lion of Judah roaring over them. Now partner with The LORD and release the roar of The LORD over your life. Declare that is enough!
Amos 3:8 “The lion has roared — who will not fear? The LORD GOD has spoken — who will not prophesy?”
4 December 2025. Shake Off the Bland
“I see the real you. I know who you are, and I want you to have confidence to be your authentic self. I know you worry that people won’t like the real you, but I have made you to be unique.
I formed you in love and I placed you in the right place. I don’t want you to get lost in the crowd and try to be like those around you. I have made you to stand out. I have made you to be extravagant and even a little wild.
I know people have said you should calm down, that you are too extreme. But in conforming to voices that are not Mine, you have shut down My moving in and through you. You have become bland and lukewarm.
My Kingdom is full of life, energy, colour and creativity, and that is how I have made you to be. So shake off the bland. Show My vibrancy in all its glory. Demonstrate My extremes, My vastness, My ecstasy. I sing and rejoice over you with dancing and vivacity.
And this will be contagious, My child. Experience the richness found in Me.”
Activation : Put on your most colourful clothes. Do something creative with the Holy Spirit – paint, dance, sing. Experience the freedom of being you in Christ.
Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
3 December 2025. Dream of New Beginnings
In a prophetic dream, I was in a room full of light and the smell of spring. Five ladies clothed in softly draped pastel dresses with flower designs, sat on comfortable brown leather chairs.
With a smile, they invited me to join their circle. My companion presented the ladies to me. They were called “New Hope“, “New Beginning”, New Courage”, “New Faith”, and “New Endeavor”.
We had a lovely chat. They spoke encouraging words and I could feel myself starting to be filled up. My body, soul and spirit were soaking up new hope, new courage, new faith, and I could see new beginnings and new endeavors.
“My dear Child”, says The LORD, “I want you to have encounters with Me and My Holy Spirit. I want to impart My Nature into your being, so that you might find new hope for seemingly hopeless situations, strong faith in your great God, and new courage to start implementing what I have shown you before, and what I am showing you now. Trust my New Beginnings. My spring is at your door.”
Revelation 21:5 (NIV) “He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true”.”
2 December 2025. Prince of Peace
“My child, I AM The Prince of Peace. I want you to grab hold of My Peace, which is not the peace of the world. In the middle of personal and global circumstances, lean on Me and know that I AM holding you.
Nothing and no one can deprive you of what you find in Me, because I AM fiercely protecting you. Therefore let nothing distract you, and keep your eyes locked with Me.
My intent is to pour a balm of love over you, to remind you who you are, whose you are, and know where I AM leading you. So come into My Peace. O precious one, step inside My Heart and develop an even greater trust in Who I AM, and what I will do in your life.
Can you feel that I know every single detail of your being? Let your heartbeat be in unison with Mine and put no limits to what I AM about to show you. It’s Me and you, you and Me. Leave the rest outside.”
ACTIVATION : Find your favourite spot. As you slow down and focus on Jesus, allow Him to envelop you in His mantle of peace. Then when you are ready, step into His heart. What does it look like? How do you feel? Be open to receive whatever The LORD wants to do or say. Stay there until The LORD’s peace becomes part of you.
John 14:27 (NIV) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and don’t be afraid.”
1 December 2025. Limitless Faith
I looked in the spirit and saw Jesus, the King of kings and The LORD of lords, open up a realm of Faith. The doorway is wide open, and He invites you to step through. It is an open invitation; the only requirement is that you are willing to break free from the limitations constricting your faith.
This realm is entered into through Faith. A simple child-like Faith. A Faith knowing that nothing is impossible for God. A faith knowing that God gives good gifts. A faith expecting wonders and miracles.
I saw Jesus reaching out His hand, ready to help those willing to step through. “Ask Me and I will strengthen you to break free,” He said. Not only is there an invitation to step into this realm of limitless faith, but also an invitation to break free from limitations.
So break free from limited faith. Break free from a doubtful mind and a wavering heart. Let Jesus help you, and step into this realm of limitless faith. It is there you will bear everlasting fruit.
John 14:12-14 (ESV) “Jesus said “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in my name, I will do it.”
