31 July 2025. Vindication is Coming
“Many in the Body of Christ have suffered the hurt of betrayal and false accusation over these past few years. Betrayal can take many different forms, but I have seen it all and I understand the depth of pain. Even My Son, Jesus, knew the pain of betrayal, particularly at the hands of those closest to Him. As your Heavenly Father, I honour the way that you have walked in humility and chosen to extend forgiveness and grace.
However, there are still some of you who must allow Me to fully heal your heart and remove every vestige of pain. Do not bury the hurt, believing that unless you keep the memories alive, your vindication will not come. I AM a God of justice, and I AM faithful. I AM working all things through for your good and so trust Me to fully vindicate you at the right time. I will not let you down.
Come to Me, release the pain and let Me heal and restore. Break every ungodly soul tie that keeps you tethered to the past. My heart longs for you to live in freedom, wholeness and fullness of joy. I need you to be completely healed and set free so that you live in unwavering strength and stability in these challenging days.
My Beloved Sons and Daughters, I promise your vindication is coming, trust in Me and let go of all that would rob you of victorious living!”
Activation : Spend time with the Lord and allow Him to search your heart. Ask Him to show you if you are holding onto hurt and pain from past experiences of betrayal. As The Holy Spirit reveals things, release the pain and forgive again. Break ungodly soul ties with those involved and choose by faith to trust God to bring vindication in His timing. Bless the person and release them into the fullness of God’s plans for their life.
Isaiah 54:17 (AMPC) “But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.”
Psalm 138: 7-8 (NIV) “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me. The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever—do not abandon the works of your hands.”
30 July 2025. Uproot and Tear Down
“I AM giving you a new mantle, My Remnant: the mantle of David. And with it, the anointing to be fearless as I send you for important Kingdom Assignments. However, as I prepared David against the attacks of bears and lions while he was with his sheep, in the same way I will groom you with the right plans of attack that are different from the ones of old.
This is a moment to set time aside for me so that I can take you deeper, higher and wider. Be ready: for I will even allow the enemy to press you but believe me, it will be for your own benefit! Your feet will turn out to be unshakeable as you stand on the Rock, your faith will grow stronger and your spiritual eyesight will become surgical to preempt the moves of the enemy.
Only then will I have you go to the nations. As I AM shaking them, I want you to follow my instructions and be set to uproot and tear down what are man-made religious structures and all that is empire. Yes, there will be opposition, but I AM with you all along and the glory of the outcome will satisfy you to the full.”
Activation : In these coming days and weeks make sure you take time with The LORD. Pray that he would hone you to be ready for what is to come. Be specific and ask for timings, what the exact assignments are and where. You may want to consider starting a Daniel fast.
Jeremiah 1:10 (NIV) “See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”
Exodus 14:13 (ESV) “And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.”
Revelation 2:26-28 (MSG) “Here’s the reward I have for every conqueror, everyone who keeps at it, refusing to give up: You’ll rule the nations, your Shepherd-King rule as firm as an iron staff, their resistance fragile as clay pots. This was the gift my Father gave me; I pass it along to you — and with it, the Morning Star.”
29 July 2025. Revealed For Glory
The LORD says: “As I AM enforcing My Kingdom in the earth and revealing the Sons of God, there are hidden anointings that are unknown to you but known to Me that I AM revealing to you in this hour as I equip and prepare you to go forward in My might to confront Pharoah.
Beloved, if you will trust Me, you will begin to see that some of these anointings have been intentionally hidden up till now. They are only to be released in full measure as you stand face to face with the enemy to display My Power and My Supremacy over him; even you will be amazed but know that this power is from Me alone and for My Glory alone.
Beloved, know that by My Spirit, you carry the ability to heal and deliver. Just as I anointed Jesus with My Spirit and with My Power to do good and to heal all who were afflicted and oppressed by the devil, so I AM anointing you, the Sons of God. You are to go in my power and in my might to do the same.
For the day will soon come when the world will need those who can heal because modern medicine will fail or it will not be available in abundant measures, especially for those who don’t have the financial means to give them access. This will be the time for the Sons of God to manifest- those who are totally led by My Spirit.
I AM Jehovah Rapha, I AM the Resurrection and the Life, and as I AM, so are you. Go in the strength and power of your identity as my offspring and release My resurrection life to deliver the oppressed.”
ACTIVATION : Spend time in prayer asking God to reveal any hidden anointings He has placed in you for this hour. Journal what He reveals.
Ask: “Lord, what assignment is my anointing meant to confront?”
Record: any scriptures, visions, or confirmations that arise.
Declare: “Lord, I receive what You’ve entrusted to me for this season. I will honour what You’ve hidden for Your glory.”
1 Corinthians 4:20 (ESV) “For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.”
Exodus 3:19-20 (NLT) “But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand forces him. So I will raise my hand and strike the Egyptians, performing all kinds of miracles among them. Then at last he will let you go.”
Acts 10:38 (NLT) “And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”
28 July 2025. Watch Your Words
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Watch the words that you speak! In these days as I AM calling forth the Sons of God to arise in the earth, I AM reinforcing my standards as I reestablish my expectations for those who are my mature offspring — those who are committed to living a life led by My Spirit.
As my offspring you are to have fruitful lips and the words that you speak must produce that fruitfulness. Fruitfulness in any form is born out of oneness with me, for I AM the only source for this. As Sons of God, your language is to reflect the language of My Kingdom, not the kingdoms of this world.
The kingdoms of this world say, ‘words don’t matter’; they give little to no esteem to the words that are released saying, ‘they are just words.’ However, in My Kingdom, it is quite the opposite, words do indeed matter. And just as My Words have assignments to produce the very thing unto which I have sent them to do only returning to me as ‘mission accomplished’, so must yours.
As My Offspring I hold the same expectation of the words that you speak, so do not treat them carelessly, you will be held accountable for each careless and idle word. What is an idle word? One that does not produce Kingdom fruit.”
Activation : The Spirit of The LORD is challenging us to be more mindful of the words that we speak while cautioning us that our words do indeed matter. How do we begin to walk this out? By asking The LORD for His help. Make the following prayer based on Psalm 141:3 a regular prayer:
“Father in heaven, I give you permission to set a guard over my mouth; I ask that you keep watch over the door of my lips to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly or carelessly. Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips. In the name of Jesus, amen.”
Isaiah 55:10-11 (AMPC) “For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
Psalm 141:3 (AMP) “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips [to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly.”
Matthew 12:36 (ESV) “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak.”
25 July 2025. Love Me, Love One Another
“I AM calling you back into a way of life that some have forgotten. It is My way of living; the way of The Spirit. It requires you to put My Commands, Precepts and Laws first in your life before all else. The first and foremost of these commands, that you will need in these times, is to love Me with a fierce dedication.
Love Me with everything in you; your heart, your soul, your mind and your body. It is the kind of love that excludes all other loves and desires. It eclipses all idols and distractions that have pulled you away from your first love. Remember who I AM. I AM your first love and there is no other God but I!
When this intensity of love fills you completely, you have a new sense of compassionate obedience, to live with a constant desire to do my will and obey whole-heartedly. Have a love that does not waver or compromise, for there you will find the awe and wonder of my presence; a presence that creates a reverent fear and dedication to my pure word.
Secondly, love one another. I have called you to sharpen your knowledge of My Word so that you, like Jesus, can impress and influence the lost around you. You are called to take responsibility not as friends, sons or daughters but as my anointed ones who have loved Me well. In that devoted Love we become one in unity and purpose; in authority and power. My Commanding Presence leads you and guides you, protects and strengthens you.
Be those who demonstrate your love for Me by speaking confidently and sharing diligently My Words and my ways with others. Live with kindness and graciousness, and a grateful and generous heart. Never miss an opportunity to share positively with the generations that follow so they have a righteous path to walk in. They need the wisdom that you carry and the perspective that only comes from faith-filled experience.”
Activation : Take time to quiet yourself in God’s presence. Ask him to increase His presence in you. Find ways to express your love for Him. Repent of any times you have not put loving Him first in your life.
Ask God to help you sharpen the understanding of his words in your heart and bring you more accurate discernment. As you read scripture, search for deeper meaning and make note of all that He tells you.
Ask God where you can become bolder in sharing with others. Plan with God to show his way of living by doing acts of kindness, giving words of encouragement and meeting the needs of those in your circle. Reach out intentionally to the generations following you, talking with joy and confidence about God’s love and divine connections. Be transparent and invite them into an understanding of His word with gentle instruction and inspiration.
Matthew 22:37-40 (MSG) “‘Jesus said, “‘Love The LORD your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.””
24 July 2025. Remember
“I call you to remember where My Love has taken you. Be consistent in remembering how you arrived at this place and time. Do not forget that your hearts are united with those that have endured much and have made a way for you. Know that there has been deep prayer and intercession so that My Word could be shared even in the hardest of atmospheres. You did not step into your current situation without someone else forging a starting place, building what was necessary to hold My Glory and to carry My Freedom.
Remember the pioneers who had to plow their way through skepticism, doubt, derision and shame. The ones who gave up a reputation, a position and a safe future in order to lead others to a greater glory than we have ever seen. Thank the builders who gathered the people and the provisions, who had the dedication and enduring hearts that made it possible to complete what God had promised. Consider the settlers and the shepherds who created safety and consistency and allowed the fearsome to settle in and feel comforted.
Such greatness resides, not only the Elijahs and the Davids, but also the Church Planters in countries where they put their lives on the line every day. The ones who relentlessly carried my Heart to the lost, who would risk everything for my name to be upheld in the darkest of situations. Their reward will not be on earth but in their place with Me in paradise. Never forget that you are part of a Kingdom family all over the earth and that you advance together.
Remember our first encounter. Remember what you promised me and what I called you to do for Me. Remember how much I have loved you and kept you safe. Remember where I have taken you and what I have shown you. Be reminded also that I keep no record of wrongs. As you remember, let gratefulness swell the deposit of My Love in your heart. Let it move you to action in serving others and Me with a renewed humbleness and undivided heart.”
Activation : Take time to write down a timeline of your journey with The LORD. Note the many times he has been with you through the mountaintops of life and also the valleys. This is your testimony. Refresh your mind and your spirit with a new perspective. Write it, share it with others and declare out loud His goodness and mercy.
Find out more about those in your community, church or area that have laid themselves down for the sake of The Gospel. Find ways to support or practically care for them. Never get tired of doing good. Share your Testimony, and make time to hear theirs. Be inspired and motivated by their Faith. Allow God’s Faithfulness throughout your life so far, to spur you into deeper levels of trust and faith as you step into more of what he has for you.
Deuteronomy 6:10,12-13 (AMP) “And when The LORD your God brings you into the land, which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you, with great and goodly cities which you did not build…. Then beware lest you forget The LORD, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall [reverently] fear The LORD your God and serve Him and swear by His name [and presence].”
23 July 2025. Come Out of Compromise
“My Bride, I invite you to experience the refining fire of My love that brings purity of heart. A pure heart is one which is obedient to truth, free from deceit, undivided in loyalty and completely devoted to Me. I have so much more for you to step into, but I need you to respond to the cost of this high call.
I AM looking for purity in My People who will not tolerate mixed motives, self-interest, modern-day idols and the fear of man. The religious spirit has tainted the attribute of purity and caused the Body of Christ to dismiss it as both unattainable and irrelevant to the world. As a result of this deception, partnering with worldly compromise has disempowered The Church.
So come to Me in humility and let Me lovingly show you where you partner with wrong heart motivation and where ‘idols’ exalt themselves above intimacy with Me. It is often so subtle, but do not allow yourselves to be temporarily satisfied by anything less than a righteous pursuit of Me.
The world is longing to see a pure, authentic bride who loves her King and whose actions speak loudly as well as her words. A Bride whose governance is trustworthy and safe. Purity is empowering, freeing and brings joy. Just as I promised in the Beatitudes, the more you live in purity the more you see Me, and the more the world will see Me in you.”
Activation : As you read the word above, notice if The Holy Spirit brings conviction. In humility, allow The LORD to show you if there are any mixed motives or divided loyalties in your heart. Are there any idols or false comforts that need to be removed? If so, repent and receive forgiveness. Ask The Holy Spirit to give you scriptures to meditate on that will strengthen you to walk in purity of heart in the days ahead — ask him to satisfy your every need, so that you are a living example on the earth — bringing The Kingdom wherever you are.
Psalm 86:11 (NIV) “Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.”
Psalm 24: 3-4 (NLT) “Who may climb the mountain of The LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies.”
Proverbs 16:2 (NIV) “All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by The LORD.”
22 July 2025. Purity of Heart
“I AM extending an invitation to My Bride to walk in new levels of purity that will ensure greater depths of love, freedom and joy. A purity that comes from an undivided heart which is set on the love of her Bridegroom King. A purity that causes everything that is false to fall away. A purity that is so attractive to the world it brings favour and draws people in.
My Beloved, I want you to examine your hearts. Since the days of the sermon on the Mount, the righteous attribute of purity has been hijacked by the religious spirit and twisted to resemble something which is based on self-effort and striving; a concept totally devoid of grace. This so easily creeps in.
Purity is not about avoiding the ‘contamination’ of the world and adhering to strict discipline and rules in an effort to steer clear of sin. That is both fear and performance based and has no part in a relationship with Me. Avoid this counterfeit faith which robs joy, breeds comparison and undermines the power of The Cross.
Instead, pursue encounters with Me which will cause your love to grow and will set alight a holy, burning desire to run after only that which is pure and pleases Me. True purity and Christ- like obedience are birthed in intimacy and flow from a heart that knows and loves her King.”
Activation : Pursuing purity of heart takes time. Allow Holy Spirit to reveal if there is one area of your life where you partner with striving, performance or a wrongful fear. Ask Him to show you where this started and expose any lie that you believe. Confess, repent and break agreement with that lie. Ask Jesus what He wants to give you instead. Spend time with The LORD and ask Him to draw you into an encounter with him; a place of intimacy from which purity of heart will flow. If this is new to you, meditate on a bible verse and allow The LORD to lead you into abiding with him.
Matthew 5:8 (AMPC) “Blessed (happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous—possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward conditions) are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!”
Psalm 19:9 (NIV) “The fear of The LORD is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of The LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous.”
1 John 3:3 (TPT) “And all who focus their hope on him will always be purifying themselves, just as Jesus is pure.”
21 July 2025. Voices of Power
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Kingdom Authority is empowered and activated through Kingdom speech. By My Words, life is created, and frameworks are established. If I can cause rivers to flow in dry places and gardens to bloom in desert lands by My Words, then so can you. Understand that your words have the power to activate and shift atmospheres, but you must allow Me to train your mouth to speak words of life and power, recognizing that all true power and authority come from Me.
Beloved, as Sons of God, I AM empowering you to speak as I do but you must learn to speak with intentionality, understanding that a purity of sound must be released. When you speak, be mindful that what you say also declares your agreement into the atmosphere. If you are to sound like Me, then you must recognize that not everything you say — no matter how socially acceptable it may be — is acceptable.
Learn not to carelessly use words and phrases that align with demonic spirits and their operations because they are casual sayings of the day. Doing so diminishes your ability to stand in the fullness of My power.
If you frequently say you’re “sick of” something, how can you truly command the spirit of infirmity to leave someone without resistance? If you are always “dying” to do something, how can you command the spirit of death to leave, as you tell Lazarus to come forth as Jesus did? And if you are constantly involved in gossip and slander, how can you confront the spirit of the false prophet, who operates through accusation and slander?
As you learn to speak with intention and align to My ways, you will train the spirit realm, and the atmosphere on how to respond. Remember, I AM training you to speak as I do. Trust that just as I train your hands to war and your fingers to fight, so am I also training your mouth to release life, truth, and power.
Activation : Using Romans 8:14 as a daily prayer, invite the Holy Spirit to lead you through a “speech audit”.
- Pray “Holy Spirit, lead my words today as a Son of God. Train my mouth to release Your sound. Make my speech pure, powerful, and aligned with Heaven.”
- As you go through your day, take note of phrases that you often say without thought (e.g., “I’m dead tired,” “That’s killing me,” “I don’t have power”, “I’m sick of this”, etc.).
- Pause and ask yourself and the Holy Spirit “Does this phrase agree with God or with the enemy’s agenda? Does this contradict Kingdom truth?”
- Repent for any misalignments, renounce and break agreement with the phrases. Then give thanks to The LORD for His counsel.
Proverbs 18:21 (ESV) “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Hebrews 11:3 (AMP) “By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”
Romans 8:14 (AMP) “For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.”
17 July 2025. Put Love First
“My beloved ones, will you choose to love like Jesus and sacrificially love others first! Will you follow My Commands and love wildly, love fiercely, love first? Will you be the open handed love of God in fleshly form? Will you wear love and receive the stranger, host the foreigner?
This is your Commission and one of your most important assignments to love Me The LORD your God with all of your heart, but to also love others fiercely.
I see the pain you’ve had to walk through and I have been with you as you wept and were rejected by those you loved. I have held your heart in times of trauma and I know the depth of the ask to love again, to open your heart to a broken world.
It’s time to love wildly again. Take courage and open your heart once more. Step into being a sign and a wonder to the world, modelling love in a time of fear. Be defiant in an anxious world, refusing to let crisis drive your response. Don’t close the doors to your heart or your home. Instead look to the unseen and be the Jesus your community so desperately needs. Love like Jesus — love first.”
Activation : Intentionally connect with someone you don’t know very well, to start to build community. Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight someone to you who he wants you to love well and ask him how he wants you to do that. Love in the Kingdom is an active word, it is a way of doing life together and choosing someone else over our own needs to display Jesus to them.
As an added bonus, search the bible for how many times the word asks us to love one another. Loving others well is so deeply important to God.
1 John 4:19 (NLT) “We love each other because He first loved us.”
John 13:34-35 (ESV) “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
16 July 2025. Nothing is Wasted
“When you are brokenhearted and you weep, I see you and I count every teardrop that falls. Nothing is wasted in My Kingdom and nothing is left hidden or unseen. I AM The God Who sees you. I AM The God who knows you. I AM The God who loves you fiercely. I AM The God who fights for you always. You are My Beloved, you are dear to Me, I cherish and I treasure you.
Nothing is wasted especially in the hidden secret exchanges between you and I. I treasure intimate moments shared with you in these spaces and always have a purpose in the things you walk through. Share your heart with Me and let Me heal the places of pain.
I AM tending to your heart and showing you my faithfulness and your strength in Me, even in moments of pain and weakness. Lean into Me and ask Me what I AM teaching you in this season, what I AM growing you in and what precious treasures I AM imparting in you as you walk through trials with Me. This is the beautiful exchange between a father and a daughter, a father and a son!”
Activation : Write a letter to Jesus, God or Holy spirit, pour out your heart and share the secret hidden things with The LORD. Be spirit led in the exchange and once you have poured out, wait and listen. Write down in letter format what Jesus, God or Holy spirit share with you and treasure it. You may even wish you could write some of the things on post notes to keep in your bible, on your mirror, on your desk as a reminder of God with you in every moment and all he has shared with you. When you feel overwhelmed remember that space of intimacy and closeness and let God meet you in the middle again each time!
Psalm 34:18 (NLT) “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”
Psalm 56:8 (ESV) “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.”
15 July 2025. Steadiness in the Waves
“Many of you find yourselves struggling to stand firm in rough waves and stormy seas where life has brought unexpected turbulence and your feet are searching for solid ground. I want you to know that I AM The One Who calls to you and brings you into Peace. I AM calling you by name and beckoning you, move out of the rocky boat and take My hand, walk on the waters with Me.
Stand firm even now in me and lift your gaze, focus on me and Me alone. Do not focus on the waves round about you but capture My gaze. I The LORD your God AM sure and steadfast and I will keep you sure and steadfast. I AM giving you the faith you need to overcome every storm and to find a firm and steady place in Me. Rest in My Peace, My Safety and My Steadfastness in this season.”
Activation : Take a moment and focus on where Jesus is in the room with you today. He is giving you faith, peace, security and steadiness in Him. Ask Him what that looks like — can you see colours, shapes, is He handing you something, taking you somewhere with Him, let Him lead and guide you as you experience his closeness and nearness.
Take Jesus by the hand as he extends His hand to you and stand firmly in the place of steadfastness He has shown you. Ask him what it looks like in the natural to walk on the waves with him and to take his hand as he leads you out onto still waters with him.
Matthew 14:28-31 (ESV) “And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” “
Isaiah 9:6 (ESV) “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
14 July 2025. Awake & Arise
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Wake up and arise from the sadness you have lived in for too long. I AM breaking off the infirmity that has kept you bound, for that was never your portion. You are stepping into a season of unwinding.
The infirmity has wrapped itself around you so tightly and you have felt suffocated and alone, but not anymore. No longer do I want for you to live in limitation but instead I want you to live in My Fullness. Watch and see My life flow from you again. I AM making fitness an ease for you again, as a sign and a wonder of the miracle I AM doing in you, and the life I AM bringing back to you again. “
Activation : Each morning as you wake up, speak over yourself: “Come alive in the name of Jesus”! Move your body. Introduce exercise and movement into your day. You could choose to jump, dance, run, do a push up or a jumping jack, whatever you choose as a prophetic act of partnering with God’s momentum, healing and freedom in this place.
John 1:1-4 (ESV) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
Ephesians 2:5 (NLT) “That even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)”
11 July 2025. Extravagant Worship
“I have heard your cries of adoration and wonder in worship. I have seen your open heart before Me as you exalt Me and lift up My Name on the earth. You lift your eyes and your hands up to Me and sing songs that others have written, but this season calls for more.
Remember Mary who sat at My feet to learn from Me and get to know Me. The one who wept at My feet, whose pain moved Me deeply. The one who came back to My feet in worship. She had been so marked by the experience of Lazarus’ resurrection, of her grief, and then the joy of victory and freedom, that she was moved to such a pure and extravagant act of worship: pouring a pint of expensive perfume over My feet and wiping it with her hair.
Before this happened, she did not come out of the house to meet Me. She hid away and distanced herself. But after the encounter with Me, she changed for good. Instead of distance and hiding, she publicly submitted herself to Me in an act of outrageous dedication. Even My Disciples were shocked by it.
Yet I welcomed this act of Worship. Mary’s Worship was also a realisation about who I AM; she understood that Jesus had to die to bring forth salvation, and this led her to a place of deep gratitude and wonder. She saw through spiritual eyes, not worldly ones.
That is what I AM calling you into today. Pure, extravagant, outrageous worship through spiritual eyes. Worship that comes from a place of knowing Me, encountering Me in your pain, and allowing Me to lead you through it. Embracing freedom, knowing that it is only because of the sacrifice that I made that you can stand healed, whole, and righteous before Me.”
Activation : Create some space in your day to come before The LORD in worship. Use instrumental music, or no music at all, so that you can offer your own dedication to him. Remember that you have been marked for good by the experiences that Jesus has brought you through. You have walked through pain and you have met Jesus there. You know the joy of life and the fullness of resurrection. He is calling you to a place of pure, extravagant, outrageous worship now. Fall at his feet, cover them with perfume; in awe, reverence and wonder at who he is and what he has done.
John 11:32-33 (NIV) “When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.’ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.’”
John 12:3 (NIV) “Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.”
10 July 2025. Shake the Dust off Your Feet
“For too long you have stayed stuck and stagnant, but I AM urging you to step up and into the things I have pressed into your heart and ignited in you through dreams and visions. I have asked many of you to complete assignments, move locations and make big changes to the ways in which you currently live, but many of you have not taken the bold steps I have asked you to take.
How much longer will you stay in disobedience to Me in the things I AM asking you to steward well? How much longer will you wait on my provision and guidance when I have already bestowed it on you? You are waiting on me to establish things and make choices for you when I have already equipped you to make the choices I AM asking you to make.
I ask you this: what are you waiting for? I trust you in your decisions led by My Spirit and My Wisdom. I say to you, sons and daughters, now is the time for you to faithfully establish what I have asked. It is not the time for delay, stepping back or second guessing but a time of swift obedience.
I have entrusted you with the secrets of my heart and the things of the kingdom and I have made no mistake in that. You are trustworthy and I trust you. Shake the dust off your feet, awaken from your slumber and establish the next steps with me. It’s time to go again with fresh momentum!”
Activation : Read Matthew 25:14-30 and spend time reflecting and meditating on it before spending time with Jesus reflecting on the questions below.
What was the last thing The LORD asked you to do? Was it to connect with someone, build something, start something, do more of something, less of something, put something down or pick something up? Have you been obedient in doing as he asked or have you spent too much time delaying, trying to figure it all out or felt unable to do all he is asking you to do? What has held you back? What have been barriers to your obedience?
Recommit to the things he has asked of you and is asking of you, repent where you have fallen into disobedience, knowingly or unknowingly, and ask for forgiveness. The Holy Spirit will give you fresh understanding and revelation of the next steps to fulfill your assignment. As a prophetic act, get up and physically shake the dust off your feet and take a big step forward. Now is the time to go again!
Matthew 25:16 (ESV) “To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.”
Matthew 25:21 (ESV) “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’”
9 July 2025. Razor Sharp Focus
“The last season I called you to wild obedience, and to step out from hesitation, anxiety and lack; to step fully into the plans and purposes I have for you. You have answered that call, and I am well pleased with your resilience and ability to stand in the storm.
Yet opposition comes with the extravagant faith that you have shown. You are aware of the moves of the enemy sent to undermine that faith, bringing distraction and fear. I AM increasing your discernment in these times. This will be a crash course for you in discernment that will serve My Kingdom purposes well into the seasons to come.
Do not shy away from it. Do not think that it is someone else’s calling, for it is time for you to respond to the warrior cry that I have placed within you. Release the fear that you have surrounding this to me, and let me guide you in razor sharp focus to see and discern.
I will show you strategies that will surprise and delight you. For with me, warfare and discernment is not heavy but a joy to thwart the plans of the enemy and take ground for My Kingdom. So let your spiritual blinkers fall away, and come into razor sharp focus. Cut through all distraction and chaos, for now is the time to discern, to come against, to bridge the gap, and to release the freedom and joy of My Kingdom through it.”
Activation : Sit with The LORD and ask him to show you what your journey of faith looks like up to now. See where he has been well pleased with you. Enjoy that time with him, and then in that place of faith and assurance, ask The Holy Spirit to remove any blinkers from your spiritual sight and to release razor sharp discernment to you.
Take hold of it as you bring to mind a situation or challenge you are facing. Discern with Holy Spirit what enemy tactics are at play here, and ask for strategies to intercede and warfare against them. Commit to this assignment with Jesus; keep pressing into it over the coming days and watch as shifts and breakthrough unfold before you.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV) “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. “
1 Peter 5:6-9 (NASB2020) “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, having cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares about you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. So resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brothers and sisters who are in the world.”
8 July 2025. Kingdom Alliances
“I know that you have been yearning for community; this past season has felt isolating at times. Relationships and connections have ended that you had invested in for years. Many have fallen away as they could not withstand the weight of the call on their life. Yet you remain. I see your faithfulness, resilience and warrior heart.
Your feet are planted and your stance is strong. You have come under fire but I see how you have withstood the accusation brought against you. You’ve proven yourself worthy to carry the weight of the call that I have placed upon you, and I call you deeper into the mantle that I have assigned for you.
But I have not planned for you to do it alone; this is a season for advancement of relationships. I will put people within your path and will accelerate the depth of connection between you. You will feel aligned in ways you never have before, as you press into the assignments that I have for you together. All I ask of you is to be discerning about those around you who seek my heart for their purpose in your life.
And with the right people beside you, lean in to building a community of people that stand firmly on my Kingdom values, and who love each other fiercely. Uphold one another, protect each other’s hearts, and challenge each other and spur each other on. Step into these Kingdom alliances, for my Kingdom advances only by those who love each other well.”
Activation : Spend time with The Holy Spirit, and ask him to bring to mind the relationships that have been lost over the last season. Take time to grieve these and process them fully with Jesus, until you feel a sense of peace at his will being made perfect in these situations. Now ask Him to help you to discern the people in your life at present. Are they Kingdom relationships? Ask Jesus to reveal to you any specific people that he wants to highlight, and commit to investing in your relationship with that person. Pray for them. Ask God to show you what the call is upon their life, and encourage them in it. Ask God what the assignment is that he has for you together, and invest time in pursuing this wholeheartedly.
1 Peter 4:7-11 (NASB 2020) “‘The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God. Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking actual words of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.’ “
7 July 2025. A Renewed Mindset
“You have settled in your comfort zone! You are in a familiar place where you think your mind has been renewed. As a result of good habits, these have become unintentionally stale and linked to repetition, tradition and religiosity, no matter how Spirit-filled your background is.
You ask, “How can I have fallen into such a trap, LORD?” but watch out for that subtle vein of complacency with what is “right”. This is because what is right is different from the Truth. Human righteousness can be good, but it doesn’t have the breath of my Spirit. Therefore, as such, it doesn’t have Life and will lead to a mouldy, Pharisaic mentality. This, in turn, may push you unknowingly towards judgement and rigidity rather than one filled with My Spirit.
It is My Love and Mercy that should make people who don’t know Me feel that they matter and that I see them. Not rules, however right they may be.
Remember, My Child, that any of your achievements will fall short if there is a lack of The Fear of The LORD. So come to me and let’s talk. I will show you where your heart has hardened and I will soften it again as I marinate it with My tender Love.”
Activation: Read Ephesians 4:17-31 with Holy Spirit. As verses stand out to you, repent for having partnered with anything that is against the Word of God and has stiffened your heart. Then ask Him to renew you to start afresh.
Ephesians 4:17-18 (NIV) “So I tell you this, and insist on it in The LORD, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.”
Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV) “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
4 July 2025. Placed and Planted
“Sons and daughters, I AM asking you to be positioned with authority in these days. My Child, know that you are sanctified in My Blood and stand in positional authority with Me. I AM by your side always and in Me you are never alone. I AM asking you to join forces in this season as you stand in me and with Me.
Togetherness with me and those in the kingdom is of deep value in these coming days, I do not want you to face battles isolated and alone. Even now I AM asking you to know where you are to be situated in the spirit and in the natural and to know where your feet are to be firmly planted.
Do not give in and do not give up in this season — but press on and persevere with Me and those I have connected you with. I AM asking for your endurance in this season and to complete to the finish all I have assigned for you to do. Fresh fruit is there for the taking and the harvest is ripe. I AM asking you to be the ones who are placed and planted and ready for the Harvest. The time is now!”
Activation : Spend some time sitting with God becoming aware of His Presence and where He is in the room with you. Once you become more aware of His Presence and Person with you, ask Him for insight and wisdom led by the questions below.
• Am I situated where You want me to be?
• Is there anything You have given me to do that I have given up on too soon or put to one side?
• Is there anything I am doing in Your Name that you have not asked me to do or are no longer asking me to do?
John 10:27-28 (ESV) “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”
John 15:4-9 ESV “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.”
3 July 2025. Walking on Waters
“I AM ferrying you from what was into the new,” says The Spirit of The LORD. “I AM asking you to connect into the places of grief that belongs to the former season before you cross your Sea of Galilee. I have allowed the grief to come to the surface unexpectedly so that your heart wounds may be totally healed and not become unknowingly gangrenous. This is a time of cleansing, a period of lament as I reveal to you the things I AM asking you to take care of and process in these days.
Even now I AM shifting your discernment and understanding around the enemy’s attacks on your life, health, finances and relationships. It is undeniable that you are in a phase of maturity, but in order to step into it and to be able to start walking on waters with Me you have to leave what is unnecessary, toxic and corrupt. Therefore, surrender to me and allow Me to purify you.
Come deeper with Me and fix your eyes on me whatever the circumstances, whatever the pain. When you do this I will move you into a steadfast place where you are able to stand firm despite the storms that surround you.
From that place of steadfastness you will be able to cross into all I have prepared for you in the next season. I have prepared an upgrade that you cannot even dream or imagine. Trust me my child, I’ve got you and I will be with you all the way.”
Activation : Take time to stay in God’s Presence and ask Holy Spirit to highlight what are the wounds you thought were healed, but in fact still need a divine healing balm. Once you’ve done that, ask Jesus to show you the burdens that you are unknowingly carrying from the previous season. As He allows you to see what these objects, situations or even people are, hand them over to Him. Then notice how you feel light because a weight has come off your shoulders. Thank The LORD and sense the new freedom as you see yourself walking with Him towards the next phase of your life.
2 Timothy 2:21 (NLT) “If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.”
Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
2 July 2025. The Lion and the Lamb
“I AM the Lion of Judah, I AM the roaring Lion! I AM the one who conquered death and destruction and I AM stronger than anything that opposes you! There is nothing that is impossible for Me. I AM in control of everything. I AM absolutely trustworthy but My question to you is do you trust Me?
I AM The Lamb of God. I AM the sacrificial Lamb. Surrender is on My heart. I was slaughtered and sacrificed. I became the weakest and meekest of all. I have given myself fully and totally. I did not hold back anything, I became human and lived amongst you, poured out to death as a living sacrifice to save you and your beloved ones. Can you take that in? Do you understand the depth of my sacrificial love for you.
No bigger contrasts are reunited in me than being the Lion and the Lamb at the same time. I challenge you in your life to demonstrate me in both! You can be a roaring Lion where My Kingdom needs to be proclaimed.
You can be the Lamb where your sacrifice is needed to advance My Kingdom. Do you follow Me? Are you ready to follow the footsteps of the Lion and be brave and unwavering to step out for My Kingdom cause? Are you ready to follow the footsteps of The Lamb and abandon yourself fully into My Plans for the good of others?”
Activation : Take time to think about Jesus as the lion of Judah and also Jesus the sacrificial lamb. Meditate on the character of Jesus as the lion and Jesus as the lamb.
Allow God to speak to you about the lamb and lion qualities he displays through you and the places he wants you to stand in his true authority or his submission and surrender more. Ask The LORD where he wants you to display the characteristics of the Lion and the lamb and to help you display him afresh in these areas.
Revelation 5:5-6 (NIV) “Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”
Isaiah 53:7-8 (NLT) “He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Unjustly condemned, he was led away.”
1 July 2025. The Warning Light is On
The Spirit of The LORD says, “I AM taking you into a space of healing and alignment to shift and change some things in your life. Like a car in need of maintenance, the warning lights are on and a breakdown will come if you don’t heed to my voice. I AM calling you into the timings and seasons that I have for your life. I AM asking you to submit your plans and your timings to me for a fresh view. I AM speaking a warning and I have turned on the warning lights as my kindness to you which leads you to repentance.
There are some patterns, behaviours, and rhythms in your life that are not My Plan for you. The old structures can no longer stand and the old ways of functioning are no longer pleasing to Me. As I bring to mind what needs to shift and change, I AM also releasing to you fresh timings, fresh identities and a refreshing in the spirit.
Submit to Me the things that you have held in your hands for too long, the things that have become heavy and burdensome. If you choose to partner with me in all I AM asking I will release to you fresh revelation, strategies and solutions for the coming days.”
Activation : The Holy Spirit has brought to mind areas of your life that he wants to bring into order in this season. Spend some time submitting these areas to Him, He may ask you to repent, forgive or process with Him. Make time and take time to allow Him to access all areas with you and bring a refreshing to some of what he no longer wants you to function in or pour into in this season.
Jeremiah 29:13 (ESV) “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”
Romans 2:4 (ESV) “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?”
