31 July 2024. Consecration
“Beloved, how does it feel to be called by name today?
Remember that I have called you; in this season I AM bringing you into this place of purified calling. I AM asking you to rest for a season to reflect on the words of Jesus and remember the call to seek his kingdom first.
There are many other fires of passion and desire in your life, but remember that I AM the fire above all other fires.
I AM the fire of burning passion and desire that you must come to to be purified again. I AM the Fire of love who wants to meet with your heart and consecrate your desires again.
You will find no other love greater than Me.
You will find no other purpose greater than Me.
You are made to be found in Me and Me alone.
There are other things which you have found identity in, good things, but they are not going to keep you burning. I AM not absent from your desires, but I want your full desire for me to be burning again. I want your consecration. I want your purity.
Come back to your calling being found in me alone, above all other pursuits.”
Activation : Dwell on what it means to be found in Christ again today. Ask The Holy Spirit where there are other fires of passion and desire burning in your life which need to be brought into consecration again. Make a note of these areas and bring them before Christ, asking him to consecrate your desires.
Matthew 6:33 (ESV) “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Matthew 6:21 (NIV) “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
30 July 2024. Weight of your Words
The LORD says, “I AM measuring the honesty and truthfulness of your words. It’s important to me that you understand that the quality of your words is significant. I AM assessing their integrity and how they measure up to my standards.
Do they align with my heart and my will, or are they driven by ulterior motives and hidden agendas?
Are your words sincere, and do your actions match what you say?
It is crucial for your words, thoughts, and actions to be in harmony. I also want you to examine whether your words are honouring Me and reflecting who I AM, or if they are influenced by the world around you.
Your Words can either attract my glory or repel it — you choose. The choice is yours.
Consider even your words that are spoken in jest. Empty words and vain communication will be measured as well.
You have heard me say, “Let your yes be your yes and your no be your no.” So, I caution you to consult with me before you speak so that you know what you’re saying yes to and what you must say no to as well.
This means that you cannot speak hastily.
Pause and ask me if what you are about to say aligns with my will. Be slow to speak and do so only once you’ve heard from me.
Your words should always match what I AM saying. I created the world by words, I watch over my words to perform them, and I have magnified my word together with my name, so words do indeed matter.”
Activation : Make a practice of praying the following Psalms (Psalm 19:14, 141:3 TPT) as a regular prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask that you give me grace to guard my lips from speaking what is wrong. I give you full permission to examine every movement of my heart, my meditation thoughts, and the words that I am about to say before I say them so that they will always be pure, pleasing, and acceptable before your eyes, YAHWEH, my only Redeemer, and my Protector, amen.
Psalm 138:2 (ESV) “I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.”
Matthew 12:36-37 (NASB) “But I tell you that for every careless word that people speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgement. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
John 16:13 (AMPC) “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].”
29 July 2024. Prodigals
“I know well the ones you are believing for. The friends and family members who you long to see return to my flock. My love for these precious ones is a force that transforms and transcends.
Trust Me as I hold them in My Hands. Trust My Process as I woo them into My Heart and My Kingdom.
Trust Me as I guide them as a Shepherd herds, trains, and cares for His flock with tender mercy and a gentle hand.
Cast your fears, worries, and concerns over to Me. Rest assured that I am watching over and guiding them. You see them one way, but I see their potential because I created them for beautiful things. I intimately know their hurts and struggles.
Allow Me to apply My healing balm upon them and wait expectantly for exciting changes!”
Activation : Write down all of your fears and worries about the friends and family members who you are waiting on to receive Jesus. Bring these fears and individuals before the Lord and hand them over to Him. Receive a fresh injection of hope for their restoration and ask The Holy Spirit how you can partner in praying for them.
Isaiah 41:10 (ESV) “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Mark 6:34 (ESV) ” … He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.”
26 July 2024. Well Done
“You have said, “I will step into Your Refiners Fire God, I will choose to be purified from the inside out.” I AM always watching and I AM such a proud Father. As a child does something his/her parent doesn’t have to negotiate to have their child do, you have set yourself willingly in the fire of purification. I have watched, I have heard, and I have seen you. I have seen the pain of your past, your present, and your future being purified by fire. As you have been tested, you have laid all at My feet and said, “You can have it all.”
Thank you. I celebrate this because now I will entrust you with more. The wisdom that comes by the testing with fire, no one can take from you. You have said “yes” to these extraordinary conditions and have honoured Me. You have been purified and you have blessed My heart.
As you have let go of the things that have weighed you down and kept your ears from hearing and your eyes from seeing, I will pour into you the new and fresh revelation. You have not only been purified, but you have leaned on Me.
I AM your Beloved. As you lean on Me, I will tell you more of My secrets. The purifying causes you to lean on Me and that allows close proximity to share My secrets. “
Activation : Write down the new things God is saying and ask a few questions:
What else God, tell me more?
Who can I trust to pray with me?
Sometimes we need someone to stand with us as we are in the fire because it’s uncomfortable and painful. We need each other.
Zechariah 13:9 (NLT) “I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure. I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them. I will say, ‘These are my people, ‘ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”
Song of Solomon 8:5 (AMP) “Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her Beloved?”
25 July 2024. Reassess, Realign, Rejuvenate
The LORD says, “I AM watching you run the race that I have set for you. You’re keeping a good pace, and I AM pleased with your perseverance and your pursuit of the reward. I want you to finish well and finish strong. So, I AM asking you to pause for a moment and take a rest. This is not a stopping point to get distracted; this is a focused pause to adjust and ensure that you’re focused on me and what I’m doing.
It’s time to reassess, realign, and rejuvenate. I want you to pause to reassess the landscape. Eyes up!
The landscape is changing, and navigating it will require a different plan, strategy, and strength. During this pause, you must also reassess the weight that you are carrying. You are carrying more than I need you to carry, and some things do not belong to you; they belong to me. Relinquish those things and let me bear the weight of what only I AM equipped to carry.
Remember, this journey is not one to do in your own strength, but it’s a journey with me to learn absolute reliance on me and to learn to lean your entire personality on me.
Pause to review your instructions to see if they have changed at all, and then realign yourself to them.
Finally, pause to breathe. Instead of pausing to catch your breath, I want you to pause to receive mine. Be rejuvenated as I breathe my spirit into you, releasing life and strength. Receive my breath that energises you for the journey ahead.”
Activation : Sometimes we get so caught up in the race that we forget to look up to see what’s around us and if things have changed. Now is the time to ask the Lord what he requires of you in the next leg of the race. It’s time to pause to reassess, realign, and rejuvenate.
Reassess – What extra weight does the Lord need you to unload? Are you properly prepared and equipped, has the landscape changed, and are you ready for it?
Realign – Review your instructions, are there any changes? Now is the time to go back to the Lord to ensure that you are indeed on track and following his most current instructions and plan.
Rejuvenate – Be still for a moment, intentionally resting to receive the revitalising breath of God.
Romans 8:11 (ESV) “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”
Philippians 2:13 (AMP) “For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energising, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. “
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLT) “…let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith…”
24 July 2024. Dance out of the Wilderness
“I AM calling you out of the dry and difficult season where you were tried and tested.
Abandon yourself in Worship as you come out of the wilderness; dance with Me!
I have more for you as you emerge stronger than before with more trust and faith in Me. Step into the destiny I have prepared for you.
Those things you clung to as a safety net or turned to for comfort aren’t needed. Leave the old behind and boldly turn your focus to Me.
Trust My provision for you.
AM I not more than enough for you?
Have I not proved in the wilderness that I am the God that provides?
Now is the Time!
Worship Me as you step into the new!
Sense My presence; press into My joy and feel My great love for you.
I AM so eager to share what I have in store for you now that you have been refined by this past season.
Can you sense the joy of the New right around the corner?”
Activation : Take time to abandon yourself in worship. What does it mean that Jesus wants to dance with you? Jesus delights in being the source of your joy so invite him in and release any heaviness now and turn it to dancing.
Psalm 59:16 (ESV) “But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.”
John 4:23 (ESV) “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.”
Psalm 150:1-2,4a (ESV) “Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! . . . Praise him with tambourine and dance!”
23 July 2024. Breath of Life
“My beloved, I AM here for you, and I AM offering you a quiet place to rest from your weariness. I AM here to revive you. Lift up your head now as if catching a refreshing breeze. See, I AM blowing gently on you, and as I do, allow Me to refresh you with My Spirit as you let My Ruach caress your face.
With My breath, I breathed life into Adam’s nostrils, and he became a living soul. And with My breath, I breathe into yours and release into you the Spirit of Life. It’s here for you to rejuvenate, to restore, and to give you life. Just rest and breathe Me in, breathe in My spirit. Be refreshed as I release life into you.
As you receive My breath, allow your shoulders to relax as you let go of all that is burdening you. Is My arm too short to lift off your burdens and carry them? Absolutely not! I AM The LORD, and I AM strength. So, cast all of your cares onto Me, and release them to Me completely, and let your soul find rest as you breathe in My spirit and rest in My love for you.”
Activation : Renewal Breathing Exercises: Practice intentional breathing exercises focused on inviting the Holy presence and peace of God into your moments of weariness or stress. Find a quiet place where you can sit or lie down comfortably.
Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and with each inhale, visualize yourself breathing in the refreshing Spirit of Yahweh. As you exhale, release any burdens or worries, surrendering them to His care. Engage in this practice regularly, allowing His breath to rejuvenate your spirit and bring rest to your soul.
Job 33:4 (NKJV) “The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”
Psalm 23:2-3 (TPT) “He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where he restores and revives my life…”
Acts 17:25 (NLT) “… He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.”
22 July 2024. Refreshing Love
“I love each of you with the same love that the Father loves me. You must continually let my love nourish your hearts. If you keep my commands, you will live in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by his love.” John 15:9-10, TPT
“Beloved one, let My Love wash you afresh today. Take a moment to still yourself and just be with Me. As you sit with me, allow your heart to realign with mine, coming into my rhythm. Hear me as I gently whisper over you:
I love you! I love you!! I love you!!!
Allow yourself to receive those words afresh.
My Love brings refreshing; it brings strength. Allow My Love today to warm the areas of your heart that have grown cold. As you receive my love today pay attention to how you feel.
Do you feel re-energized? Rejuvenated?
My Love is here to bring refreshment to your entire being.”
Activation : Over this coming week, take a moment each day to declare over yourself, “I am loved by the most high King!” Declare this truth over your mind, body, and soul. Speak it out as many times as it takes until you feel the truth – that you are deeply loved by Him – rise within you.
Song of Songs 2:4-6 (TPT) “Suddenly, he transported me into his house of wine — he looked upon me with his unrelenting love divine. Revive me with your raisin cakes. Refresh me again with your apples. Help me and hold me, for I am lovesick! I am longing for more — yet how could I take more? His left hand cradles my head while his right hand holds me close. I am at rest in this love. “
19 July 2024. Welcome Holy Spirit
“I AM The Good Shepherd. Haven’t I told you that I stand at the door and knock?
I am standing, my staff is in My hand. I AM lifting it. For anyone who will ask and believe, I will give of My Spirit in abundance.
Yes, a waterfall from heaven; it is my desire to pour My Spirit on all flesh. Here I AM, standing from My lifted place and I AM knocking, looking, and waiting.
For him who will ask of Me. For My Spirit alone. By Faith alone. Value my Spirit and seek it out. Ask and wait for My Spirit.”
Activation : Look into the Spirit and ask to see the Holy Spirit knocking on your door. Are you allowing the door to open? Is it open slightly? Flung wide? Or is it closed shut? Based on how open your door is, let this lead you into a time with Holy Spirit where you consider how spirit led you already are and how spirit led you would like to be.
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.”
Joel 2:28-30 (NLT) “Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants – men and women alike. And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on earth – blood and fire columns of smoke.”
18 July 2024. Good Pasture
“I AM the Good Shepherd and I love you. I see how life’s circumstances have spooked you and caused you to lose focus on me. But I AM in pursuit of you; I am concerned for you and committed to you. I AM willing to leave the other 99 just for you, to bring you back to me so that you are safe.
Hear My Voice as I call out to you, reassuring you that you are mine.
Listen to My Voice as I carry you home and back to safe pastures. As I carry you back, listen closely as I speak, and get to know my voice as I train you to recognise it.
I desire that you value the relationship between us, this is so vital for your survival, for you cannot survive on your own.
Put your complete trust in Me. Learn to trust Me so that you will stay by my side and no longer wander off to the wrong pastures.
I want you to have complete dependence upon Me and let Me be the one to lead you to the good pastures that l have already planned for you. Pastures that will nourish you so that you will have strength, knowledge, and wisdom for the long run.”
Activation : Sit with Jesus and let Jesus show you how and when you have been wandering into the wrong pastures without a Shepherd. Once he shows you this, repent and break off anything that has caused the wandering off into wrong pastures. Declare submission to the Holy Spirit and ask the Lord to lead you into His good pasture so that you are secured and fed the right food.
Matthew 18:12 (NLT) “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?”
Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
17 July 2024. Rivers of Living Water
“Dear ones,
Instead of coming to Me for the water of life that will heal you and satisfy you, many of you are digging your own cisterns, cisterns that can hold no water.
Closed cisterns. Limited cisterns.
Instead, ask Me to fill you up, to give you the living water you seek.
Allow Me to fill you with My Spirit.
Without My Spirit you cannot understand heavenly things.
Not even earthly things, for that matter.
I am Your Good Shepherd and I will lead you to the living waters that will truly restore your soul.
Ask of Me, believe, and receive My Spirit.
I will send you rivers of living water!”
Activation : Where have you gone for healing and satisfaction and rest?
Confess and cover up those cisterns that don’t effectively water you. Next, go to Him and ask Him for fresh water. Believe and receive from Him rivers of living waters.
John 4:10 (NIV) “Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”“
John 7:37-39 (NLT) “On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)”
Psalm 23:1-3 (CJB) “Adonai is my shepherd; I lack nothing.”
16 July 2024. The Good Fight
“My Beloved, you are my warrior bride. Keep up the good fight! Don’t give up! Don’t give in to the strategies and the discouragements of the enemy. Don’t let the opinions of men get the better of you.
Keep on fighting. Keep on pushing through.
Keep on being renewed by my Spirit day by day. Do not listen to the whisper of the enemy or the shouting of the crowd. Push through. Aim for the higher call. Aim for Me and My Kingdom.”
Activation : Take some time to lift up the Lord in praise and worship. Proclaim his Lordship. Declare that He alone is your heart’s desire and to do his will is your only aim. Praise and worship is the strongest weapon in your fight for God’s kingdom to come. By doing this you will see things fall into place, situations change and the atmosphere shift. He alone is worth it!
1 Timothy 6:12 (NIV) “Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.”
Romans 12:1-2 (NIV) “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 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.”
2 Corinthians 4:16 (ESV) “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison. “
15 July 2024. Tree of Life
“AM I not the God who restores all things? It was always My plan. I speak of restoration in many ways, one of which is the tree of life. It weaves as a theme through My story, depicting eternal life and provision for mankind. It features, like bookends, in the garden of Eden and in the throne room of Revelation, the great unveiling to come. Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is the tree of life.
All things in My Word point to Jesus. He became a curse on a tree at Calvary and through His resurrection restored everything lost at the fall. He ushered in The Kingdom of Heaven where there is healing, fruitfulness, light overcoming darkness, sickness and death defeated, victory and fullness of life.
Am I not the same God, yesterday, today and forever? The God of complete restoration, the one who rewrites your story with MY story for your life. Your life is a wide-open book before Me. I know it all. Surrender every area where restoration is needed, where hope has been dashed. Family, Health, Relationships, Marriage, Ministry, Finances and Work. Allow me to breathe newness of life and bring breakthrough. All is not lost. Restoration in Me is glorious, it cost My Son His ALL.”
Activation : Bring before God in prayer ALL pain and disappointment. Allow The Holy Spirit to minister healing and restore hope. Declare God’s Promises over your life. Let fresh hope and faith arise.
Revelation 22:1-4 (NIV) “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”
Colossians 1:19-20 (TPT) “For God is satisfied to have all his fullness dwelling in Christ. And by the blood of his cross, everything in Heaven and earth is brought back to himself – back to its original intent, restored to innocence again!”
12 July 2024. Above All
“You have answered the call to purity. You have allowed me to expose and burn away the parts of you that did not honour Me. You have understood what it means to Fear Me — to acknowledge My Greatness and the weight of My Glory. You have counted the cost.
And now…. Now is the time for reverence. To put Me in my rightful place above all.
As we enter a season of uncertainty in the structures that men have built in The Nations, I AM requiring of you to throw off your old affiliations and to place Me above all.
For I AM above ALL nations, kingdoms, thrones, powers and dominions.
Elevate Me above your own thinking, elevate Me above your own agenda, elevate Me above generational ties and tradition. Speak My Name over your home, your region and your Nation. Recognise My Authority over all of these things. Revere Me, and Me alone.
For when I AM above all, when I rule and reign from My rightful place, you are removing your own agendas and are creating the space for Me to establish My Kingdom upon the earth in power.”
Activation : Ask The LORD to draw your attention to any areas of your thinking or belief system where he is not above all. Repent, and speak the words of The LORD’s Prayer out loud — declaring that the kingdom, power and glory belong to Him. Establish His Reign in your life, that he is above all.
1 Chronicles 15:25-30 (NIV) “For great is The LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but The LORD made the heavens. Splendour and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his dwelling place. Ascribe to The LORD, all you families of nations, ascribe to The LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to The LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship The LORD in the splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. “
Matthew 6:9-13 (NKJV) “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
11 July 2024. Heavenly Joy
“My Child, come, let us dance together. I long to hold you in My arms and swirl you around to the rhythm of My heavenly music. Listen to the sound of Heaven. It is full of joy and wildness. Heaven is not quiet, My child. My heavenly realm is bursting with songs of praise and worship, with drums beating the rhythm of this season, with laughter and joy.
My child, let Me strengthen your heart with heavenly joy today. This joy is not like the earthly joy that you have experienced in your life so far. My Joy has a breaker anointing. When you step out and laugh and dance in the face of your difficulties and struggles something supernatural will happen. You will infuse your situations with Heaven’s reality. And in the presence of Heaven, darkness must flee and atmospheres shift.
So come, My beautiful child. Take My hands and let us dance together. Let us laugh together. Let us change your circumstances with heavenly laughter and joy.”
Application : Listen to your favourite worship music and picture yourself dancing with God. Then step out in faith and start dancing and laughing. Don’t look at your circumstances. Instead feel the exuberant heavenly joy that God wants to strengthen you with.
Nehemia 8:10 (NLT) “And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of The LORD is your strength!””
Psalm 30:11 (ESV) “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 (AMP) “There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven. A time to weep and a time to laugh. A time to mourn and a time to dance.”
10 July 2024. Kingdom Living
Romans 8:14-16 TPT. “The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!””
“And so, I speak over you, “You are Mine!”
Come to Me, rest in Me.
Receive My love.
My child, even on days where it feels like chaos is reigning, never forget that your true life is hidden in Christ. You are a new creation, an eternal spirit being. Live your life in union with the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you, not hijacked by emotions or the wiles of the flesh. This will bring you fullness of life and peace. This is how you reveal My Son Jesus to a lost and hurting world. This is fruitful, Kingdom living.”
Activation : Take time in God’s presence and quieten your soul. Ask the Holy Spirit where you may have partnered with an orphan spirit; repent and break agreement. Allow the Holy Spirit to minister a fresh revelation of God’s wonderful love and receive healing, where necessary.
Galatians 2:20 (NIV) “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Colossians 1:22-23 (TPT) “And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for he sees you as holy, flawless, and restored, if indeed you continue to advance in faith, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. “
9 July 2024. Repotting
“My dear child, I look at you and see you as a potted plant that has outgrown its pot. This pot has become too small for you. Your roots are squeezed and your leaves and flowers do not get enough nourishment. I AM the Good Gardener and I want to transplant you into a bigger vessel.
You have been faithful in your area of influence. This pleases me and I am proud of you. Now, I reposition you into a place where you will flourish and increase at greater levels. I transfer you in a wider space to grow stronger, to increase in beauty and fruitfulness, and to have a wider radius of influence.
You have been found faithful with the few, and now I re-plant you so that you will be positioned to produce even more fruit! You will be a courageous testimony of My Lordship in this new vessel.”
Activation : Imagine yourself as a potted plant in God’s garden. What do you look like? How does the Good Gardener care for you and treat you? Are you ready to be transplanted and called into greater things? Press into God for this new place and do not fear.
Jeremiah 32:41 (NLT) “I will find joy doing good for them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land.”
Deuteronomy 28:8 (NIV) “The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.”

8 July 2024. Living Stones
“You are a living stone chosen by Me, shaped by Me, and positioned by Me. You were made to be part of a living wall that makes up a living temple. And that is where I dwell, in a living temple that will withstand storms and shaking ground.
As you yield to Me, I will bring you into a greater awareness of your individuality, your unique design and the anointing I have placed upon you. At the same time I will increase your understanding of the whole body and your place in building strength and unity together with those I have placed around you.
Resist any urge to become isolated and shut down all thoughts of comparison. These are the strategies of the enemy to undermine the strength of the living temple that I release My glory within.”
Activation : Look in the Spirit to see your shape as a living stone and then look to see those around you. Spend time with Holy Spirit asking him how you compliment one another. Thank him for the anointing he has placed on you and those you are in close connection with.
1 Peter 2:5 (NLT) “And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.”
1 Corinthians 12:18 (NIV) “But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.”
Ephesians 4:16 (NLT) “He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
5 July 2024. Keep On Asking
“My beloved ones, You have forsaken My Instruction to always pray and not give up.
You have not believed My Words.
Haven’t I told you that if you ask you will receive? Have I not instructed you to be persistent? And yet you have grown tired of asking.
You have stopped asking. You have stopped believing. You have stopped hoping. You gave up.
And in doing so, you have shut down heaven’s doors, keeping them from blessing the earth.
But now, come back to Me and enter your calling to be My persistent intercessor. Be one who persistently believes in Me. Enter your call to be the people in whom the earth is blessed.
Resurrect those prayer requests you had buried as dead and ask again.
Believe again. Bring again those prayers to Me. Oh, how thirsty I am for your prayers. Do not keep Me waiting.
Come, ask and keep on asking Me. For I will reply.”
Activation : Following on from yesterday’s activation, reflect on the forgotten prayer requests brought to mind and spend some time interceding. Also spend some time interceding for The Church Body, that those who have lost hope would also be encouraged today.
Luke 18:1 (NIV) “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.”
Luke 18:7-8 (NIV) “And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Luke 11:9-10 (AMP) “So I say to you, ask and keep on asking, and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking, and you will find; knock and keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking [persistently], receives; and he who keeps on seeking [persistently], finds; and to him who keeps on knocking [persistently], the door will be opened.”
4 July 2024. Keep At It
“My Beloved, today I encourage you to keep at it and do not give up. I challenge you to continue asking, seeking, and knocking.
I know the questions you are afraid to ask and why.
I see what has caused you to fear the answer, so you have been silent to avoid disappointment. In the past, people have silenced you when you asked too many times, and you now fear that I will do the same if you keep asking Me. There are many questions and thoughts swirling around you that are hindering your progress and ability to move forward freely. They are creating reluctance in you to ask Me again.
I want to challenge those hindering thoughts. Beloved, be assured that your voice is most precious to Me. I long to hear it and listen to you as you voice your deepest concerns and ask your burning questions.
You have diligently sought me, my guidance, and my interventions before, so what has caused you to stop hoping and settle into resignation? Was I not trustworthy enough for you? Did other things or people become more important? Has your desire for encounters with me faded?
Seek Me, my dear child. Let Me challenge you, my dearest, to give it another try. There will be a great reward for those who persevere. Your thinking will be changed and hope in Me will replace resignation.”
Activation : Sit with The Holy Spirit and ask him to search your heart for questions you have stopped asking. Let Him show you the situations where you gave up seeking Him and why? Let Him remind you of the locked door you turned away from prematurely and stopped knocking. Ask The Holy Spirit to show you the motives and reasons for stopping. Let The Holy Spirit change your thinking and renew your heart. As a prophetic act get up and declare that you will keep asking, seeking and knocking until you hear God’s answer, find God’s solution and experience God’s intervention.
Matthew 7:7-11 (CJB) “Keep asking, and it will be given to you; keep seeking, and you will find; keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps asking receives; he who keeps seeking finds; and to him who keeps knocking, the door will be opened. Is there anyone here who, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? So if you, even though you are bad, know how to give your children gifts that are good, how much more will your Father in heaven keep giving good things to those who keep asking him!”
Hebrew 10:35-36 (ESV) “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”
3 July 2024. New Steps
“I have made a way for you to step into the new ways of doing Church. This will be different for each person, therefore, it’s important to seek me at this time for the direction I want you to take so that you will be aligned with me, ready to advance and take ground. I want you to look to me for the strategy that you need.
The old wineskins in your life must be completely disposed of. Alignments with new people must be made and prayer and intercession are essential for the areas of your life I am positioning you into. It is an exciting time! So do not despise the new beginnings and watch how I position you for favour and increase as you obediently step into the areas that I am shifting you into!”
Activation : Ask God these questions:
1. What are the old wineskins in my life that must be completely disposed of? What do I need to let go of so that I can advance in the new?
2. What are the shifts you are preparing you for, Father? Is there an action of faith and obedience I need to take so that I can partner with you in this season?
3. How can I partner with you, Father, in prayer and intercession?
Ask The LORD to direct you to the scriptures you need to digest this season so that your heart can shed the old and you can step into the new. Get excited! Rejoice in Him as you partner with Him in the plans for the great shift that He is leading you into now!
Luke 5:37-39 (NKJV) “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.'”
Zechariah 4:10 (NLT) “Do not despise these small beginnings, for The LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”
2 July 2024. Run for the Prize
“Are you prepared for a sudden and mighty move of My Spirit?
No more standing on the side-lines or spectating from the bench. I need you to be race ready, match fit, with miles in your legs.
A professional athlete does not wake up one morning and decide to enter a race. They are ready and positioned to run as a result of months and years of training on a balanced programme of exercise, good nutrition, and rest.
Consistency and discipline in the daily choices of life shape your tomorrows and prepare for what lies ahead. And so it is with you, My friend. Stay focused and keep your eye on the prize. No comparison with others around you; that’s a joy stealer straight from the enemy camp.
Let The Holy Spirit lead you and show you what’s best. Spend time in the Word and at My feet. Nourish, replenish and hydrate well. Build movement and exercise into your weekly routine and take time out for both recovery and Sabbath rest. Throw off everything that would hold you back. Well-being and vitality are your inheritance. The dynamic power of the Holy Spirit is on the inside of you; receive boundless energy, endless strength!”
Activation : Spend time in God’s presence and ask The Holy Spirit to reveal your energy gains and energy drains. Where do you need to make change? What small steps can you put in place as a response to this word in order to see transformation?
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (MSG) “You’ve all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You’re after one that’s gold eternally. I don’t know about you, but I’m running hard for the finish line. I’m giving it everything I’ve got. No lazy living for me! I’m staying alert and in top condition. I’m not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.”
1 Philippians 3:12-14 (NIV) “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Hebrews 12:1 (NLT) “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”
1 July 2024. Lead with Vigour
“My people, lead with vigour and anticipation!
No matter where you are placed, you have a call to lead for you are a part of My Body! Do not sit back declaring, “Leading is not meant for me!”
“To lead,” looks like many things.
It is knowing that you can change the tone of a conversation from one of death to life.
It is kindly calling a friend higher who has lost sight of their great worth.
It is shifting the atmosphere of a room from pessimism to optimism.
It is My great Joy to see you Beloved Ones walking in the fullness of the authority I have given to you. Do not allow this authority to be diminished because of how you perceive your circumstances. It is I who qualifies you to lead, not your circumstances.”
Activation : Take a moment with Jesus to examine your heart posture towards leading. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal anywhere you have been diminishing your call to lead. Repent for partnering with lies you are believing about yourself in this area. Ask for a fresh understanding of what it is to lead as a part of the body of Christ.
1 John 4:4 (NIV) “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”
Luke 10:19 (NLT) “Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.”
