31 July 2023. Face Me
“And I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” Ezekiel 39:29 (BSB)
The LORD declares to you today: “I have poured out My Spirit on you. You are selected to dwell constantly in my presence, with my Spirit filling your inner being. I have revelation for you, revelation that only comes from standing in my presence. My presence is revelation to you, so come up! Come up here! I call you today to come stand on the highest heights of revelation and proclaim My presence to the whole world, always, through every aspect of your being and every element of your life, forever. Come up high and experience what it means to stand boldly in the presence of your creator. Come into my presence – to which you are continually invited – and be enlightened so that you too become a light. Without you opening your mouth, you will proclaim my being, the truth, the light, the way, because that is who you are. Stand in my revelation – which is my presence – and you will receive a full mouth of choice words that will dwell in every fibre of your being and explode into creation around you.”
Activation : How do you stand in the presence of God’s Spirit and receive His revelation? Sometimes we make it over-complicated. First, know that God has all you need and wants to give it to you – let your faith be in Him.
Now, seek His face. Who are you Lord? How can I get to know you? Why did you do this? Just ask Him – no need to use special words. Just ask Him as if He was right beside you wanting to know what your question is. Next, make a record of this encounter – having asked Him, write down your question, and be ready to write down the answer when it comes. It will come, maybe instantly, maybe in a day or two, but you will understand more about God than you did before.
John 15:3-5 (BSB) “You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit.”
John 10:27 (BSB) “My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.”
28 July 2023. The Sound of Freedom
“Do you know what freedom sounds like?
It’s easy to embrace freedom when it sounds like praise and celebration. But to get to that place an unravelling must first occur.
Before the sound of triumphant celebration is heard, the sound of freedom can be messy and mournful. Sometimes it is piercing and loud; other times it is fragile and fragmented. For is it not the sound of weights being pulled off, of scorch marks being healed, of broken hearts being pieced together? Was it not through the brutality of the cross that I set you free?
On that day freedom sounded excruciating. For in the air echoed my cries of anguish, the ripping of my flesh, the cracking of whips and the hammering of nails. It was a complete unravelling. But on the other side of such violent turmoil the sound of freedom grew to be triumphantly thunderous. Where there was pain there came joy; where there was brokenness there came beauty. There is no need to fear the many sounds which freedom makes. Resist the temptation to shrink back from the noise and the mess, for the sound of freedom is triumphant in all of its forms.”
Activation : Are there areas of freedom you are contending for? Spend some time sitting with The Holy Spirit reflecting on these things. Ask for Heaven’s strategy and then reflect on whether you are ready to partner with these plans. If you are, pray a prayer of surrender. If you are not there yet, pray for increased strength and courage to step into full freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV) “Now The LORD is The Spirit, and where The Spirit of The LORD is, there is freedom.”
Isaiah 61:1-3 (NLT) “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favour has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.”
27 July 2023. Dismiss Fear
“Beloved, do you trust me to be who I say that I AM? Will you trust me to be God in every situation and circumstance? I AM who I AM. I AM the one who is above all things, but will you trust me to be greater than what is opposing you? Do you not understand that what you fear gets magnified in your life? And what you magnify is exalted and given power, position, and authority in your life. When you bow to the spirit of fear you are revering and worshipping it. But your worship, beloved, is meant for me alone. It is at the mention of My name that every knee must bow. That which is not of me, must go.
By my Spirit, I have given you power, love, and a sound mind. Stand tall for My presence is with you. For I AM who I AM.
I AM your shield and the lifter of your head. So, I say to you my beloved, lift your head in the spirit of fear’s face, stand firm, resist its position, and command it to flee and it will do so.”
Activation : Wherever the spirit of fear is present in our lives, this gives us an indication that there’s an opportunity to trust God more in that area. So, examine what your fears are. List them out and invite Jesus to be Lord in those areas.
Next, pray the following: LORD, I thank you for teaching me how to trust you more in this area of my life so that I may walk in a greater level of boldness in you. You did not give me a spirit of timidity, cowardice, or fear, but by Your Holy Spirit, you have given me a spirit of power, love, sound judgement, and personal discipline that results in me having a calm and well-balanced mind. So, I stand firm in the power and authority that you have given to me. I take authority over the spirit of fear, and I bind and forbid its activity in my life. I command you, spirit of fear, to flee from me now in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Exodus 20:3-5 (NLT) “You must not have any other god but me. You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods…”
2 Timothy 1:7 (AMP) “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgement and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].”
26 July 2023. Dream with Me
“Over the summer I AM bringing attention to the night time. My Revelation will come as you slumber and sleep.
I have plans and blueprints for you that you can only receive through dreams because then I will have your full attention, no distractions of daily activities. These are comprehensive insights that need to be downloaded in your spirit in order to build the new. But you have to ask Me to give it you and then take the steps of obedience to pay attention to the dreams.
Write the night visions down, even if you only remember a small part. Don’t despise small beginnings. Then, talk to Me about it, talk to others about it, listen to teachings of experts about it. Start cultivating a lifestyle of a dreamer so that you can dream with Me.
Dreams are not a one off event that will carry a message for that day or that week. And I don’t give a dream every now and then. Be expectant of a dream every night. I want you to meditate and ponder on what the dreams brought you so that I can reveal even more about it. Ask for the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to get to know Me better through the dream realm. Getting to know Me better will understand My plans better. And those who ask for wisdom will receive it.
If the enemy is stealing your sleep, know that I give sleep to My Loved Ones and that the night belongs to Me. Stand in your Authority and command him to leave and know that what the enemy steals from the righteous, I will restore.”
Activation : First, pray aloud: LORD, I want to receive your dreams and dream with You. Let me see in the night the plans you have for me. I will listen and write down your instructions. B less me with the spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to get to know you better through dreams. In the name of Jesus, I open up the widows of heaven to receive His dreams.
Next, ask The LORD to bring to mind a dream that you need to ponder on to get more revelation from Him. Then dig deeper into the dream.
Psalm 127:2 (NIV) “In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.”
Acts 2:17 (NIV) ““In the last days,” God says, “I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.””
25 July 2023. Special Forces
“Kingdom Warrior — are you ready for your next assignment?
Know that I have selected you for My Special Forces team for a reason. It is no small task and today I emphasise the seriousness of this matter. The preparation you have been through will now start to show remarkable results. At times you may have felt that your prayers and your service have gone unnoticed.
I have seen. I have heard.
The impact you have on the spiritual realm is so much greater than you can imagine. The effect is tangible. Listen out for new special assignments that I will give you in the coming days. I AM sending you into places and situations where you will have to deal with dark powers like a secret agent.
I AM sending you to deal with it swiftly and efficiently and then be gone before anyone knows. Sometimes one sentence is all that’s required. Other times your presence will be enough. See, I AM sending My Kingdom Warriors to tear down strongholds, to demolish the work of the enemy and to decree the truth of Heaven.”
Activation : Ask the Holy Spirit what his assignment is for you this week. It might be to decree freedom over a local area, to be present at a business event or to give someone a gift in secret. What did you notice afterwards? How did the atmosphere change? Journal how you experienced this assignment.
1 John 3:8b (ESV) “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”
Matthew 10:16 (NIV) “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”
Matthew 6:6 (NIV) “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
24 July 2023. Honour at the Core
In the first book of Samuel we find the story of how David hides from Saul in the wilderness. He has two opportunities to kill Saul, but refuses, since Saul is The LORD’s anointed. “At this moment in time, I AM giving you extended grace to exercise patience with your leaders. I AM calling you to pray for those who have caused pain or mistreated you. I AM raising you up to respect those in authority and to encourage your leaders. To speak well of them when no-one else does. Will you be that person?
Refuse to take offence. Ascribe value, esteem, and regard for my anointed ones even if you don’t always agree with them. I will empower you to render good for evil. I appoint you to demonstrate the upside down nature of My Kingdom and truly honour those in leadership and authority. Remain humble and I will lift you up. Act honourable and I will exalt you in the right time.”
Activation : Spend time praying and giving thanks for your leaders today. Ask God how He wants to bless them. Ask how He sees the person. Pray into areas such as their families, their ministry, their future, their health, their spiritual journey and so on. If you feel comfortable, share what you have prayed with the person or message them a word of encouragement.
1 Samuel 26:23-24 (NIV) “The LORD rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness. The LORD delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on The LORD’s anointed. As surely as I valued your life today, so may The LORD value my life and deliver me from all trouble.”
1 Thessalonians 5:12 (NLT) “Dear brothers and sisters, honour those who are your leaders in The LORD’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance.”
Romans 12:10 (NIV) “Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.”
21 July 2023. My Priorities
“Beloved, I have a plan and purpose for your life and everything in it. I possess knowledge about every intricate detail of your life, right down to the number of hairs on your head. I AM attentive to every detail and no aspect goes unnoticed by Me. I have already arranged everything, and I know the proper order and the necessary steps. I want you to give Me your daily schedule. Let Me order your day and order your steps. Partner with Me and let Me be the one to guide and direct your day. Allow Me to lead you!
I know that you have been trying your best to accomplish tasks in your own way and to the best of your ability, but I have a greater and better way to get things done. Instead of getting overwhelmed by the chaos around you, keep your focus on Me. Ask Me about the priorities I have for you and learn from Me how to prioritise your day instead of worrying about the numerous things in your life that may be causing stress. Let Me show you my way of getting things done without the overwhelm, stress, and chaos. Move within My flow. My desire is for you to rest in my rhythms and gain refreshing for your soul even as you move about. Yield to Me and receive the refreshment that your soul longs for.”
Activation : Have you aligned your priorities with God’s? Let’s find out. Start by making a list of your priorities for the day in order of importance. Once you have completed this, set it aside. Then, ask The LORD about His priorities for you and write them down. Compare the two lists to see if they match in terms of what needs to be accomplished and the order of importance. Discard your list and follow The LORD’s. Practice giving your daily schedule to Him, seeking His priorities and methods of accomplishing them each day.
Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”
Matthew 11:28-30 (TPT) “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”
Proverbs 3:5-12 (MSG) “Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to GOD! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! “
20 July 2023. Don’t Throw Out the New
“In this season of building the new, you will find yourself scratching the back of your head wondering what it is that you’re looking at. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean that it isn’t Me. To really break with the old I want you to look for things that are out of your norm. If you see something that is different, do not panic. Take a good look at it, and ask Me what it is that you’re seeing. Talk to Me about it first; train your discernment. It might actually be Me.
I don’t fit in the box that you want Me to be in. I AM bigger than everything else. Do not hold on to that which is now dead; do not try to resuscitate it. I will not raise what I have put to death. Instead, look for the new that I am birthing and see it as something exciting.
You are about to witness some of My Spirit’s greatest moves and if you dismiss the ‘odd’ things you’ll miss Me moving. You’ll miss My transformation, miracles, signs and wonders and I don’t want you to miss that. I want you to be front and centre of all that I do. So, don’t throw out the new, but ask Me if I’m in it and let me answer that question. You will be surprised by the outcome.”
Prayer : God, you are greatly to be praised and your greatness goes beyond my understanding. Open the eyes of my heart so that I might better understand what you’re doing and what that looks like. Unveil my eyes where I have covered them with my own ideas and understanding of what your Kingdom should look like. Forgive me for putting you in a box you will never fit in. I will look ahead to the new and I am excited for all the plans you have for me.
Isaiah 55:8 (NIV) ““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways”, declares The LORD.”
Psalm 145:3 (AMP) “Great is The LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is [so vast and profound as to be] unsearchable [incomprehensible to man].”
19 July 2023. Whose Counsel?
“Come close and let Me speak. Incline your ear to hear all that I have to say.
Whose counsel are you considering? Are other voices in your life taking precedence over mine? Are you prioritising the opinions of others over My plan? Look at the 10 spies who gave an ill report upon scouting out the promise land. These spies prioritised fear of the giants over Me and My Desires. But Caleb was of a different spirit; he desired My approval above all things. Caleb was not afraid of the giants. I was Caleb’s priority and he received his inheritance.
When your focus is on pleasing others and gaining their approval, compromise becomes inevitable which can cause you to either forget My Words or deviate from My Plan. Whose voices are you listening to? Whose counsel are you considering apart from Mine?
Come closer. Listen to My Words and to My Counsel.”
Activation : Read through the scriptures below and spend some time reflecting on them. Then, spend some time sitting with Holy Spirit considering whose counsel you value.
Numbers 13:30-32 (ESV) “But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out . . . “
Numbers 14:6-10 (ESV) “And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. If The LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against The LORD. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and The LORD is with us; do not fear them.” Then all the congregation said to stone them with stones. But the glory of The LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel. “
Numbers 14:24 (ESV) “But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.”
18 July 2023. God Solutions
“My People, so much of your life’s expectations are grounded in your upbringing; where on the globe you live and your circumstances. It might shock you to realise the percentage of My Influence there has been in your life. It is time to stop forming so many decisions based on your life’s history.
Ask Me for My Wisdom. Set your heart on journeying, now, with Me. Let Us do this together; you the humble person and Me, Almighty God. What better way is there? Seek Kingdom solutions, the bold, often daring and ultimately life-giving outcomes.”
Activation : Choose to take every thought captive specifically over the next decision you have to make, asking to see God’s view of those matters. Expect a growing joy in hearing his immense interest in your life as you do this.
Psalm 40:5-6 (ESV) “You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. “
Proverbs 9:9-10 (ESV) “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.”
17 July 2023. Equipped with Wisdom
“The Fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.” Proverbs 9:10 ESV
“I want My People to grasp a new sense of what it means to live life rooted in “The Fear of The LORD.” I want to refresh your old thought patterns and bring fresh revelation to your understanding of this.
The Fear of Me, knowledge of Me, and wisdom are key to this season. I want to equip you with fresh wisdom and insight. I need My Body to have a deeper understanding of who I AM, how I function, and the truth of My Ways.
Fear of Me produces yieldedness, awe, and pure worship. Fear of Me produces humility, wisdom, and revelation no one person can grasp. Fear of Me places Me in my rightful place — on the throne — allowing for a deeper revelation of the spirit.”
Activation : Spend time today looking through scripture for references to “The Fear of The LORD.” As you read, ask The LORD to bring fresh revelation of what it looks like to live in The Fear of The LORD.
Romans 12:12 (ESV) “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. “
14 July 2023. Your Whole Life
“I AM calling you to a complete lifestyle of worship where every aspect of your daily living glorifies me. Will you choose to worship Me, not only by your works, but will you also worship me with your entire life demonstrating the fullness of your heart’s dedication and devotion to Me? A life that is pleasing to Me extends beyond the practice of going to worship services on traditionally designated days and serving in the physical house of worship. I want you to honour me with every detail of your living. I want the small as well as the big parts of your life.
Will you take your ordinary life and present it to Me by laying it on My Altar as a sacrifice? This is what I consider true worship. I want the mundane, I want the simple, I want the minute, and I want the seemingly unimportant.
Your everyday walking around life should reflect me even in the most mundane of things. Give it to Me, worship me with it, and see how my light will radiate through you. Everything in your life is important to Me because YOU are important to Me, and I want you to give me all of you!”
Activation : It’s easy for us to live on autopilot without thinking to engage God in the most mundane of tasks. So, for the next 7 days, get into the practice of engaging The LORD in every aspect of your life. Whether it’s taking the kids to school, picking up groceries, making the shopping and to-do lists, or arranging your daily diary, before each duty say… “Lord, I take my everyday ordinary life and place it before you as an offering. How would YOU have me complete this task?” Write down what he says and be sure to follow his instructions.
Romans 12:1 (MSG) “So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering.”
Colossians 3:23 (NKJV) “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to The LORD and not to men . . . “
13 July 2023. Recondition
“It is time for a reconditioning of minds. I AM bringing a new way of doing things but you must let go of old mindsets. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Your spirit is sensing the new that I AM doing but your minds are still needing to catch up. They are still in the old patterns.
I AM renewing all things. So let go and let me recondition you. You cannot rely on the fruit from yesterday for this will go rotten and sour. The fruit of this season is new and fresh and pure and it will be a result from a time of cleansing. This fresh fruit is not just for you — it will feed upcoming generations. The most important thing in this process is remaining in Me.”
Activation : Ask God what are yesterday’s thoughts and mindsets that he wants you to let go of and where is he wanting to recondition your thinking. Ask God to help you to remain in him and embrace this process.
Romans 12:2 (NIV) “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
John 15:4 (NIV) “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.”
12 July 2023. Overcomer
“My follower, when you ‘put yourself down’, you have little idea of the influence that you have in the place you are, both in the seen and the unseen realms. I know you, the good, the indifferent and the sinful. As was written to the church in Ephesus, in the spiritual realm, ‘we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.’ (Ephesians 6:12, ESV)
You are spirit and body, made in My Image. Grasp that and life on earth looks different. You already have an influence in the spirit realm and as a child of mine through My Son Jesus you are invited into The War Rooms of The Kingdom. Be taught together with kingdom strategists in intercession and warfare, fully using the armour that Holy Spirit provides. The heavenly host praise Me and are sent out on assignments. Learn My Ways to bring heaven to earth.”
Prayer : Glorious God make me stronger as a fighting force in your Kingdom. Give me people who I can learn from and the determination to say yes to you as I submit to your Spirit’s work in my whole life. I choose to believe what you say about me and my influence in the spirit realm. I want to learn more. Amen
1 John 4:4 (ESV) “Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV) “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
11 July 2023. No Time has Been Lost
“Beloved, I would remind you today that no time has been lost. Though the years have passed chronologically, no time has been lost in the spirit. I see you!
Despite the circumstances and how things have looked around you, I know that your faith has not wavered. Your trust in who I AM has never wavered. You have not been moved by what you’ve seen, you have only been moved by My Promise. You have been faithful in holding fast to My Name; you have been faithful in doing the work of My Kingdom. In all of this you have grown even deeper in your intimacy with Me.
I say to you, no time has been lost.
Beloved, there is still a battle, but you WILL WIN! Now, is the time to rise up in strength in Me. Now is the time to rise to a greater level of boldness fueled by my Spirit. Now is the time that you will go in and take the land. You will go in and dispossess every enemy squatter on your promised land to possess your inheritance. By my Spirit I AM anointing you with fresh strength and with new vitality and wherever your feet step, My Glory will be known. No time has been lost!”
Activation : Declare aloud : The LORD is with me. So, by the Spirit of The LORD and by His power and might, I will drive out the giants from the land and possess my inheritance!
Joshua 14:6-15 (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. So that day Moses solemnly promised me, ‘The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed The LORD my God.’ “Now, as you can see, The LORD has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old. I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then. So give me the hill country that The LORD promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if The LORD is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as The LORD said.
So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave Hebron to him as his portion of land. Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite because he wholeheartedly followed The LORD, the God of Israel. (Previously Hebron had been called Kiriath-arba. It had been named after Arba, a great hero of the descendants of Anak.) And the land had rest from war.”
10 July 2023. My Wings
“I invite you, My Child, to come under the shelter of My Wings. When it feels as if you are about to sink, My Wings will uphold you. They will surround you on every side. My Wings will enable you to fly. They will propel you forward, so you can build up the momentum to soar. Their impact causes you to push forward, move upwards, to speed up, and to slow down. My Wings will shield and protect you from adverse and dangerous conditions and will steer you correctly. My Child, they will be a shelter for you.
I have extended to you the covering of My Wings, but will you accept it? Will you come under My shadow? It is a place of unconditional guidance and protection. The state of being under My Wings causes a positional change that brings mercy and rest to those who experience it. Unfortunately, there are many who chose not to accept.
Whatever your circumstances, I offer you unconditional help and support, come under the shelter of My Wings, My Child. You will find refuge in Me. Under My Wings you will encounter My Safety.”
Activation : Let The LORD know you want to be under His Wings. Ask The LORD, of the many benefits of His Wings, which will you encounter first. Thank him for that experience.
Psalm 63:7 (NIV) “Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.”
Psalm 91:4 (The Voice) “Like a bird protecting its young, God will cover you with His feathers, will protect you under His great wings; His faithfulness will form a shield around you, a rock-solid wall to protect you.”
7 July 2023. New Boundaries
“In this season it will be very important for you to partner with Me in setting boundaries. To protect your mind, body and soul. To preserve your energy for the things I have planned for you. I will show you when to say yes and when to say no. Don’t agree to something, just because there is a need. Resist the temptation to fix things, just because you want to be a good servant.
The borders of the Israelite tribes were set very carefully. There were boundaries according to their numbers and capacity. Know your capacity. Don’t feel you let people down when you say no.
The boundaries will protect you and give you strength for My true Purposes. Put new stakes in the ground that will clearly mark your territory. Stay firm when people try to invade your space.
You will see an increase in energy, strength and wisdom. Strength will come to the areas and relationships that you are meant to invest in. Receive my courage today to draw the line in the sand. Allow Me to impart fresh discernment as you make new choices.”
Activation : Take a moment to recall what’s on your agenda for the next few weeks. Ask The LORD to highlight what activities/relationships that should remain and those that are not for now. What are the things you are doing out of sheer habit that takes up time and energy? Maybe it’s time to let it go. Ask for God’s wisdom and discernment in making new choices.
Psalm 27:1 (NIV) “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
Matthew 5:37 (NKJV) “But let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more than this is from the evil one.”
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
6 July 2023. New Perspectives
“Walk into your prophetic call, whether that is using the Spirit’s gift of prophecy or living as a prophet. Live there now rather than seeing it as something that is far off.
Live in the place of victory even when that denies your circumstances.
Consciously raise yourself up into speaking and thinking and moving now on the earth, not waiting for an imagined future but living in full community with me now.
I release a fresh perspective, available to you every morning. For I AM faithful.
Unclog your mind from all that is not the mind of Christ, listening to me as your first choice each daybreak. Bring again the truths of the bible into the forefront of your attitudes, not allowing repeated thought patterns of ‘less than’ or ‘not possible’ to fester in your life. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7, ESV)
Application : Ask God to flood your heart and mind with new truths today; one about yourself and your prophetic call and another where he wants to help you to throw off a hindrance to this call.
Lamentations 3:22-25 (ESV) “The steadfast love of The LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in Him. The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks him.”
John 16:24 (ESV) “Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”
1 Thessalonians 5:19-24 (ESV) “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.”
5 July 2023. Refreshing Manna
“Beloved, where the world grows parched from iniquity’s scorching heat, I shower you daily with refreshing manna. Allow the abundance of this supernatural nourishment to freshen you like cool rain on a hot summer’s day. Breathe in its sweet honey fragrance, and let it gratify your senses. Taste it and see how it satisfies every ounce of your being. My manna rejuvenates to the core in a world that tries to deplete you.
I give plenty, so take what you need daily. Find balance in Me, and learn to pace yourself.
In the moments when you feel drained, take My hand. I will lead you to the calming waters of renewal where you can release every care and experience supernatural rest and weightlessness. This will reset you back into rhythm and restoration.
I never want you to feel spiritually empty. Instead, I want you to be energised to bear fruit.
Receive My manna daily, and let it supernaturally fill you. I AM Jehovah Jireh, your loving and faithful provider! I AM your daily bread. Find peace in knowing whoever eats of Me will be sustained for eternity.”
Activation : Before you start your day, close your eyes. Look up in the spirit and picture manna raining down from heaven! Open yourself up and receive your fill. Inhale deeply and fill your lungs with this gift, and then exhale all the tension that doesn’t belong. In this place of total fill and rest, carry out your day. Commune with God, eat, work, fellowship, all from this place, stopping when it’s time to rest. See how receiving this divine bread daily sustains you in a new and supernatural way!
Exodus 16:31-36 (ESV) “Now the house of Israel called its name manna. It was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. Moses said, “This is what The LORD has commanded: ‘Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’” And Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before The LORD to be kept throughout your generations.” As The LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony to be kept. The people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land. They ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan.”
John 6:51 (NIV) “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
4 July 2023. Branded
“Many place marks upon their bodies as reminders of people, places, events that are special to them — I long to place a brand upon your heart. Not to maim or mar you but to brand you with My Love. I long to pour my forgiveness over all iniquities; to remember the sin no more. Many of you have battled alone and endured tough times; I want to give you rest. I love you with an everlasting Love. Allow my loving kindness to draw you near to Me, for I can rebuild from any ruins. From nothing the world was created; nothing is too difficult for Me.”
Will you receive this seal for Christ?
Activation : Picture Jesus as He was nailed to the Cross, with a battered and bloodied body, unrecognisable. Imagine the pain and the torment of being treated this way for merely healing others and making them whole. Do not focus on the unanswered questions of your faith, or if you’re able to walk in perfection. Instead, contemplate the love of Jesus for you. Decide today, will you receive the love that Jesus exemplified on the Cross for you that day? If your answer is not yes, ask Holy Spirit to help you understand what holds you back.
Ephesians 1:13 (AMP) “In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God].”
Jeremiah 31:33-35 (NKJV) “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says The LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their [a] hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know The LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says The LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Thus says The LORD, Who gives the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The LORD of hosts is His name). . . “
3 July 2023. I Remember
“My Child, you are always on My Mind, in My Thoughts, and in My Heart. In fact, I have imprinted you on My Hand. I never forget you. Yet, there are specific moments when thoughts of you ascend, like a sweet aroma and I remember you more intensely; My Plans for you, your prayers, our beautiful relationship. I AM passionate and determined that nothing will hinder our mutual journey. Nothing will stop you from taking the next step in the destiny I have planned for you.
In My written Word, see how when I remember it has impacted individuals, communities and nations creating global, national, and individual change.
When Noah was in the Ark with his family and the animals, at the point where I remembered him the flood waters began to recede, leading them out of the Ark to dry land. When I remembered the children of Israel and my covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I caused a process to begin where Moses was instrumental in their release from Egypt. When I remembered Hannah, she conceived her son (Samuel) who impacted the destiny of Israel.
I remember you, my child, and I empower you to remember. Partner with me as you remember your nation, your family, your dreams, and others. See the doors of protectiveness and access being moved into correct position. See chains being broken not just over yourself but over your nation. See people being released from the clutches of the enemy. Let’s remember together so we can initiate a process of change. This is a weapon for your arsenal, will you use it? Allow My Passion to stir in your heart. See Doors open, Chains broken and the Deliverance of My Children, as we talk about those things you remember.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit
- To show what is on the Father’s heart regarding you, your family, or your community.
- What was His original plan concerning this area?
- How you can partner with Him to bring about His plan?
Genesis 8:1 (NIV) “But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.”
Exodus 6:5 (NIV) “Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.”
Romans 1:9 (NIV) “God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you in my prayers at all times. . .”
