31 March 2025. Ready & Steady
“My child, as you have already understood I have prepared new and exciting things for you ahead. However, I see you hesitating as to how to delve into this new adventure with Me. There is still a vague sting of anxiety in your heart that I invite you to allow me to pull out as you linger in My Presence. Once you’ve done that, just start walking with Me.
Relax. It’s one step at a time and in sync with my timing. Don’t try to figure out how everything will work.
Imagine you are walking on a path in the garden of Eden with your Creator. I’ve got this. I will strengthen you so you can keep moving forward. Ask Me the questions and I will give you the answers. Sometimes it will be precise instructions, other times I will require you to put your foot into the water as I did with Joshua and his people. There will also be moments in which you will have to trust me, even when I’m silent, because that will be a specific time for growth.
My Ways are not your ways, but they will bring you great satisfaction as you co-labour with me for the expansion of The Kingdom.”
Activation : Sit down with Jesus and ask to see yourself walking with him. Where are you walking? What details do you see? Ask Jesus about the place you are walking together and what He wants you to know as you ready yourself in this season to follow His leading. Let Jesus strengthen and encourage you.
Hebrews 3:4 (NIV) “For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.”
Psalm 37:23 (NLT) “The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every details of their lives. “
Jeremiah 6:16 (AMP) “Thus says The LORD, “Stand by the roads and look; ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, “We will not walk in it!””
28 March 2025. Withstand the Test
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Beloved Ones, this is a period of timely positioning and My Sons and Daughters must rise and fully inhabit their identity in Me. As you come forth out of the wilderness as My chosen Bride, the tempter will attempt to test you. The need for this testing is so that you will be secure in your Kingdom Identity. I summon you to partner with My Word in assurance as you embrace fully your identity as My Beloved Son/ Daughter in whom I AM well pleased.
To enable you to do this, I AM releasing upon you a new strength of identity; a new solidity of knowing who you are in Me. You will be challenged in these days by emotional instability and uncertainty of who you are due to all that is going on around you. Resist being tipped into the wobbling atmosphere of violence and insecurity. Measure yourself by my standards and be conformed by the renewing of your mind.
As you hear the taunting of the evil one, listen for The Holy Spirit’s instructions. Listen to how you are directed to answer such threats and tests. Feel The Holy Spirit’s confidence and respond with new determination. Do not become unhinged by the chaos or lose sight of who you are in Me.”
Activation : Read Matthew 3:17 and then decree aloud over yourself, “God’s voice from heaven calls me his beloved son/daughter. I am his beloved and he is well pleased.” Do this over and over, until you feel yourself partnering with this truth.
John 1:12-13 (NIV) “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”
Romans 8:14-15 (NIV) “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.””
27 March 2025. Tested For Great Authority
The LORD says, “In the days of chaos when gross darkness will cover the earth and man is at a loss for answers, they will cry out for solutions as they seek those who carry clear sight, strategic focus, and steady leadership. I intend to position you to be that, however, this will require your wholehearted submission to my leadership, counsel, and preparation. This means that you must willingly embrace the process.
In systems and structures designed and governed by human intellect alone, it is common to see untested individuals placed in prominent positions. These people often skip the necessary testing, ultimately resulting in a deficiency of solid, good, and effective leadership.
However, for My Purposes, the front-line positions will be held for those whose lives are entirely yielded to Me — those who have walked in the furnace with Me at their side. Those who have walked through the darkest valleys and shadows without fearing evil or death because My fear dwells within them. They move step by step alongside me, intentionally listening for and to My Voice. Even in the midst of trials, they sing songs of thanksgiving and praise, remembering My Name and choosing to glorify Me over their circumstances. These are the ones who I will position and empower with great authority to lead, and they will possess the wisdom and understanding to govern and judge righteously. I will entrust the secrets of deep truths to these pure-hearted ones, as they have proven their faithfulness to My heart and the matters that concern Me. They have not compromised themselves or my word and they find their delight in The Fear of The LORD.”
Activation: Will you allow yourself to be tested so that you can be among the called and the chosen? Just as any trainer will tell you, if your muscles are not sufficiently developed to carry 100 lbs, you will not be able to safely carry 300 lbs without risking harm to yourself and those around you. This process is essential; to carry great weight, you must go through a development process to do so successfully.
With this in mind, now is a great time to ask The LORD where you have not yet been tested and proven for your revealed calling. When He identifies those areas, ask Him to help you identify scriptures that highlight His promises regarding them. Additionally, reflect on your own life and recall where God has demonstrated His faithfulness in giving you victories. Based on both His written Word and revealed truth, begin to establish yourself in those promises so that when tests come, you will be equipped and prepared.
Matthew 22:14 (TPT) “For everyone is invited to enter in, but few respond in excellence.”
2 Corinthians 4:17 (ESV) “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.”
Isaiah 11:1-3 (ESV) “There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of The LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of The LORD. And his delight shall be in the fear of The LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear.”
26 March 2025. Come Out of Babylon
“Come away from the world and its fleeting pleasures. The enemy is speaking loudly, even shouting, with all sorts of things that seem important. But My child, see them for what they truly are: distractions meant to pull your focus away from Me. I AM calling you out of the systems of Babylon — its worldviews, priorities, and ways of living.
I am calling you to step fully into My Kingdom and immerse yourself in it completely. Don’t just dip your toes in or wade ankle-deep. I AM calling you into the deep, because I want you to transform the place I’ve put you through demonstrations of My Power. This is how you will bring heaven to earth. But you cannot do this if you are not fully separated from the kingdom of this world. Come out of Babylon and its idolatrous ways, and sit in My presence. Let Me fill you with My thoughts and My perspective.
Don’t you know that I laugh at the enemy’s plans? Nothing surprises Me. Nothing is out of My Control. I AM the King, the true Ruler of this world.
So come to Me, My Child. Let Me take you to a higher place where you can see what is happening in this moment — in your life, your city, your nation, and even the world — from a new perspective. Let Me show you what I AM building in this time and season, and then I ask you to partner with Me. Come, take My hand, and let Me pull you closer to Me.”
Activation : Sit with The LORD and ask Him to reveal the areas in your life where you are still influenced by Babylon — the ways of the world. This could be in your viewpoints, where you place your trust, or what and whom you believe, such as beliefs about yourself, world events, or even (social) media. Then, ask Him to give you a new perspective from His viewpoint. Let Him replace the lies you’ve been believing with His truth and infuse you with the power of His Kingdom.
Revelation 18:4 (NLT) “Then I heard another voice calling from heaven, “Come away from her [Babylon], my people. Do not take part in her sins, or you will be punished with her.””
Isaiah 46:10 (NLT) “Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.”
Psalm 103:19 (NLT) “The LORD has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules over everything.”
25 March 2025. Rest From Chaos
“I know that you feel the chaos in the world, where every day brings another example of people exploiting others for their own gain. I know that you grow weary from the voices vying for traction and attention as the world celebrates and upholds them. The dramas of culture and the half-truths of the media shout loudly, and you feel overwhelmed and unsure about the call I have placed on your life in the context of such chaos.
You question how you could possibly make a difference in times such as these. Beloved, trust My Voice within you. You know Me, and you hear Me. My Spirit within you is so much greater than anything in the world — find rest in Me. Tune out of the chaos and tune into Me — as we walk together in my ways, your overwhelm will settle into rest. For the paths that I call you along are paved with wisdom and understanding — I have gone before you and made the way. I ask only for your trust, your surrender and your courage to keep moving forward. Do not be distracted by the atmosphere around you, instead find peace in My ways within you.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to highlight to you the situations that have been bringing chaos into your life. Perhaps it is the voices that you are listening to, that do not have good intentions — or that have been content to diminish what God wants to do in you and through you. Take time with this, as He may bring to mind some things that you do not expect. Allow The Holy Spirit to counsel you through this process.
Now, stand with Him at a crossroads and ask Him to show you the way to go; the road paved with ancient wisdom and infinite understanding. Ask Him to reveal to you the ways that you can move through the chaos, and instead find rest — this may involve laying down the things or people highlighted to you. He has promised you rest for your soul if you move away from the chaos surrounding you, when you step into him. Ask Him to show you what it looks like in your life to walk in his good ways, and commit to taking those steps forward today. Declare aloud – ‘Jesus, I leave the chaos behind me and step forward into your ways.I find rest for my soul in your presence.’
Jeremiah 6:13-16 (NIV) “From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,” says The LORD. This is what The LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls…”
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.”
24 March 2025. Now is the Time!
The Spirit of The LORD says: “This is the year, now is the time! Many in the Body of Christ have contended for prophetic words and promises which have yet to come to pass. I celebrate your faithfulness in warring over these words and remaining hope filled. In this season I AM releasing favour, opening doors and bringing alignment in Kingdom relationships. Now is the time when many of these words will bear fruit and fulfillment is coming.
I need My People to be ready to move and, in some cases, quickly. Bring before Me those promises and words which still have life, also your dreams and visions and allow Me to breathe afresh upon them to ignite hope, re-fire you and release a momentum for the days ahead. Deal with any disappointment or discouragement in order that you have stability of heart to steward well all that I plan to release. Let a fresh infilling of My Spirit propel you into my plan and purpose for this year as I desire to advance and promote.
The intense time of preparation is over. You are not defined by lack or fear. You will need courage this year but know that I have equipped you and you are ready to receive the increase.”
Activation : Spend time in The LORD’s presence and bring before Him your prophetic words, promises and dreams. As you sit with Him, notice which words fill your heart with faith and expectation. Write out an overview of what you are believing for this year and ask The LORD for the next steps or blueprints. Come back to it regularly over the days and weeks ahead.
2 Corinthians 6:1-2 (NLT) “As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.”
Luke 4:18-21 (NIV) ““The Spirit of The LORD is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of The LORD’s favor.” Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.””
21 March 2025. Time Changers
“My People, you are faced with the timing of this world, with this world’s clock that turns according to this world’s agenda.
And I see some of you who have come under it, submitted to it, as if ruled by it, because you have thought you had to accept this.
Not so, My People!
And I see some of you who have stepped outside of it, disengaging with it and no longer participating and being fully active in this time.
Not so either, My People!
For this is My time, in which I have sent you.
This is the war of the clocks. My clock against this world’s clock.
It’s timings and My timings.
And I know it has been such an exhausting fight.
But again I AM calling you. Stand up! And come back today, now!
For I AM calling you to to walk on this world’s time and to set My Time instead.
I call you to place your feet over it, as if you were walking on its clock.
Walk on it!
Step over it!
Leave your mark on it!
Push the clock hands and resist them by your standing.
It is time for you to resist time, to push it, to stop it.
It is time for you to rule over the time and to change it.
Yes, I AM calling you Time Changers!
For I want you to bring My rule, My will, My kingdom over this world’s time and to not give up, but win the time !”
Application : Ask The Holy Spirit to reveal any area where you are out of time with Him. If you have been out of time, isolated and detached, disengaged from it; if you have refused to interact and be fully present and active in this time; if you have been laying under this time, passively ruled by the rulers and events of this time.
Confess and acknowledge it before God in truth out of the fullness of your being. Repent for disengaging with His will for you, in this time, for not being alert and standing.
Confess also your reasons, what caused you to disengage. Ask God to heal your wounds, to fill you with new faith, vision and hope where you had given up. Now see His hand reaching to you, take it, allow it to lift you up.
Ask The Holy Spirit how he wants you to partner with his timing differently.
And now stand up you time changer, Decree God’s Will, resisting the current time flow, and push God’s will and His timing on earth. Hold your ground, and continue decreeing God’s timing in the following days.
Example: I Decree today — it is not a day of loss! No, today is the day of salvation, the day of God’s favor. Today is the day God saves!
Ephesians 5:15-18 (AMP) “Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil. Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of The LORD is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him.”
2 Corinthians 6:1-2 (NIV) “As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”
Ephesians 6:13 (AMPC) “Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].”
20 March 2025. Position Yourself (Part 2)
“Yesterday, I required of you to take a position of surrender. Today I AM calling you to recognise the spiritual standing in which I have purposefully positioned you. Having released that which was holding you back, I now ask you to understand the spiritual position that I have given you. You may look around you and see that there are some worldly things that have not yet changed — they look the same as they did yesterday. But you are viewing them with earthly eyes. I AM calling you to view them as they are in the spirit — do you not have the victory through Jesus who has overcome?
My Child, you must become aware of the spiritual weight and authority that is yours through Jesus — your prayers and declarations should come from a place of victory, not of request. Settle your spirit with Mine, ensure you are aligned with My purposes — and speak with authority to that which you need to overcome.
Position yourself in spiritual authority, speak out of a place of victory, and call into order the earthly chaos that surrounds you. Your words, when aligned with My Spirit — in the purpose of My Kingdom, have the power to shift, to break through and to build.”
Activation : Position yourself in a standing posture, if you are able. Position yourself in a strong and ready stance. Recall the situations from yesterday; dreams not realised, debts not paid, family not reconciled, calling not recognised. Examine your heart honestly, and let go of the things that are not on God’s heart for you — that were born out of selfish ambition. Ask The Holy Spirit to show you the areas upon which you need to stand and overcome. Stand firm in your body, and in your spirit — you have been positioned by God purposefully, to overcome that which is for His Kingdom. Declare aloud that you have victory through Jesus, and that you call into order that which is causing chaos. Stand firm in the spiritual authority you have to call situations (name yours aloud) into the alignment of God’s will and purposes in your life.
1 John 5:3-5 (AMP) “For the [true] love of God is this: that we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused on His precepts. And His commandments and His precepts are not difficult [to obey]. For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God]. Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God.”
Romans 8:37 (AMP) “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us {so much that He died for us}.”
19 March 2025. Position Yourself (Part 1)
“When you look at your life, I know that there are areas that you feel unfulfilled; dreams not realised, debts not paid, family not reconciled, calling not recognised. You have found uncertainty and doubt creeping in – you want to trust Me, but it feels like things aren’t changing.
You lift your hands in worship, but a part of your heart feels stuck and full of sorrow. You speak My Name through tears that you won’t let fall. You counsel others while feeling lost yourself. Dear one, know that I love you too much to allow you to continue to walk in anything other than My fullness. In order to move forward, you must first acknowledge that your spirit will always need My Spirit – the very nature of your humanity is that you are spiritually bankrupt without the inheritance that is yours through Jesus.
Position yourself in surrender. Allow My Spirit to move through the parts of you that have felt stuck, sorrowful and lost – open yourself to Me in ways that you never have before. Know that in your humanity, as you recognise Jesus’ sacrifice over ALL that binds you, you are released into the victory of My Kingdom in all its fullness.”
Activation : Position yourself in a posture of surrender – on your knees if you are able. Take some deep breaths, and allow Holy Spirit to bring to mind the areas of your life that you have found difficult to release to him so far. Recognise that Jesus’ death frees you from all sense of unfulfillment – you are released into the victory of the Kingdom, and into the fullness of life. Ask Jesus to restore to you the joy of your salvation – as you release sorrow; receive joy.
Psalm 51:6-12 (NASB 2020) “Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in secret You will make wisdom known to me. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; cleanse me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness, let the bones You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins and wipe out all my guilty deeds. Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.”
Matthew 5:3 (NIV) “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
18 March 2025. A New Day
“The Sovereign LORD says: “Long have I sustained you through the darkness of night and brought you safe to morning’s first light. As you have slept, I have not been idle, for I watched over you. I exchanged rest for your weariness and washed your wounds with tears of love. I stilled your anxious heart with whispers of peace. I thwarted your enemies’ strategies to undermine and frustrate you. I put in place the words and the deeds which will be your tomorrow. And I prepared a bountiful sunrise to herald your waking.
Yet even in sleep or time of rest, there is so much more. I delight with those who seek me in the small hours; whose eyes remain vigilant through the watches of the night; whose ears hear My Words of wise counsel; whose subconscious minds meditate on My promises; whose imaginations are receptive to My Dreams of revelation; whose hearts ache for My Presence and embrace; whose spirits soar with hope as the dawn brings forth a new day, full of fresh possibilities and opportunities.”
Activation : The LORD has so much more to give us when we sleep. Even then, He wants us to prepare our hearts, minds and spirits to be open to His ministering grace and revelation, which will then set us on the right path each new day. There are ways we can prepare: Keep short accounts with The LORD and don’t go to sleep without doing a quick soul check. Ask Holy Spirit to bring to mind anything you need to say sorry for or someone you need to forgive.
Recite a Bible verse you know well before you lie down. Pray that The LORD will bring fresh wisdom to your mind as you wake. Listen to a worship song before you go to sleep. Pray that the words of that song will be on your lips when you wake. Keep pen and paper by the side of your bed or a recording device. Early morning dreams can be rich in revelation so be ready to write them down as soon as you wake.
Consider waking for a particular watch of the night or ask The LORD to wake you when He wants to give you a ‘watch revelation download’. Write it down and pray. Then go back to sleep. In the morning, reflect on what you wrote & prayed and ask Holy Spirit what The LORD wants you to do with it.
“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of The LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him.’” Lamentations 3:21-24 (NRSV Anglicised)
“I call with all my heart: ‘Answer me, Lord, and I will obey your decrees.’ I call out to you: ‘Save me and I will keep your statutes.’ I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word. My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.” Psalm 119:145-8 (NIV)
“The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.” Isaiah 50:4 (NIV)
17 March 2025. A New Wind
“Dear one, I know that you sense the stirring in the atmosphere, the shifts of change in the air. Behold there is a new wind blowing from a direction that is unfamiliar to you. My Spirit is blowing in with purpose to accelerate and administrate transition. Watch for the direction of the windsock changing in the spirit, and do not be surprised or caught off guard — for you have been forewarned.
My Spirit comes to blow away what has been, and to deposit something new. Do not resist Me, do not shelter from My Power — lean into the winds of change and transition. Stay open to the new and let go of the ways things have always been — let go of your comforts and traditions, for they have no place in the new season that I AM calling you into.
Note the direction from which the wind of My Spirit blows — you sense that there are things I AM asking of you that I have not asked before. Strategies are being deposited that are specific to the timings of the new season — do not miss or dismiss them because they seem so different to what has gone before.
Expect things to be uncovered in your life that I have previously planted; seeds that are now ready to grow into this new alignment. Though this uncovering may feel exposing at times, remember that this is for your strengthening and equipping by the wind of My Spirit.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit if there are any comforts or traditions that you are still holding onto, give Him permission to reveal dormant things and choose to let them go. Consciously choose to lean into the fresh wind of the Spirit — release control and let his power hold you. Ask Him to blow through your spirit with His, and deposit the new strategies and timings of the new season inside of you.
Do not rush this process — it may take a few days, so keep coming back to that place of reliance in The Spirit with Him.
“But from there you will search again for The LORD your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.” Deuteronomy 4:29 (NLT)
“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.” Romans 12:2 (NIV)
14 March 2025. Abraham’s Trust (Part 3)
The Spirit of The LORD says, “Beloved one, there is an invitation before you to step into a deeper trust in Me. My Heart’s desire is that your trust in me would grow and flourish. That you would choose to trust Me with all the things that matter to you, from the very small to the very big.
My beloved, you are so dear to Me! There will be times when My Ways do not make sense to you, but will you resolve within yourself to choose to trust Me? Let Me come close to you today and remind you that I AM, and I AM the one who IS trustworthy.”
Activation : Once more, take a moment to first read through Genesis 22:1-8. Close your eyes and picture this scene of Abraham walking with Isaac. What must it have felt like to be in Abraham’s shoes? Consider Abraham’s response to Isaac when he asked him, “Where is the sheep for the burnt offering?” Abraham answered: “God will provide a sheep for the burnt offering, my son.” What a trust filled response!
Take sometime today to consider the level of trust you place in The LORD.
What are some areas where you could trust in him more? Invite Holy Spirit into these considerations. If you are able, pray for an increased trust to arise.
Repent of where you have kept God at a distance and invite him to come closer in those areas where you struggle to trust in him.
Then, consider the questions that have been raised over the past two days regarding testing and obedience. How do these three things work together?
Take some time to consider what we have learned about God’s nature in considering testing, obedience, and trust. Invite Holy Spirit to speak to you directly about how this applies to your life.
Genesis 22:1-8 (NLT) “Some time later, God tested Abraham’s faith. “Abraham!” God called. “Yes,” he replied. “Here I am.” “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.” The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, along with his son, Isaac. Then he chopped wood for a fire for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day of their journey, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told the servants. “The boy and I will travel a little farther. We will worship there, and then we will come right back.” So Abraham placed the wood for the burnt offering on Isaac’s shoulders, while he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them walked on together, Isaac turned to Abraham and said, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “We have the fire and the wood,” the boy said, “but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?” “God will provide a sheep for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham answered. And they both walked on together.”
13 March 2025. Abraham’s Obedience (Part 2)
Today, we continue to examine Abraham’s testing, this time focusing on his obedience.
The Spirit of The LORD says, “I need hearts that are quick to respond in obedience to me. Obedience leads my people into the centre of my will. It establishes them in my timing and rhythms. I constantly search for obedient hearts—hearts that are open to my leading. Obedience requires a leap, yes, but it will take you to places you never imagined you would go.”
Activation : With these words in mind, re-read Genesis 22:1-8 and consider Abraham’s response to God’s request in this passage. After waiting so long to see God’s promise to him and Sarah fulfilled with the birth of Isaac, God then asks Abraham to make this monumental sacrifice. The very next morning Abraham acted upon God’s instructions.
Take some time to consider Abraham’s extraordinary obedience. How do you think you would respond to such a request? What do you learn from Abraham’s response?
Allow The Holy Spirit to speak to you about your heart posture. Is your heart postured in obedience to The LORD? Are you willing to grow in this area? Spend time considering these questions and journal the revelation you receive.
Genesis 22:1-8 (NLT) “Some time later, God tested Abraham’s faith. “Abraham!” God called. “Yes,” he replied. “Here I am.” “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.” The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, along with his son, Isaac. Then he chopped wood for a fire for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day of their journey, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told the servants. “The boy and I will travel a little farther. We will worship there, and then we will come right back.” So Abraham placed the wood for the burnt offering on Isaac’s shoulders, while he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them walked on together, Isaac turned to Abraham and said, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “We have the fire and the wood,” the boy said, “but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?” “God will provide a sheep for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham answered. And they both walked on together.”
12 March 2025. Abraham’s Test (Part 1)
Begin today by reading through Genesis 22:1-8 (NLT):
“Some time later, God tested Abraham’s faith. “Abraham!” God called. “Yes,” he replied. “Here I am.” “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.” The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, along with his son, Isaac. Then he chopped wood for a fire for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day of their journey, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told the servants. “The boy and I will travel a little farther. We will worship there, and then we will come right back.” So Abraham placed the wood for the burnt offering on Isaac’s shoulders, while he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them walked on together, Isaac turned to Abraham and said, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “We have the fire and the wood,” the boy said, “but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?” “God will provide a sheep for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham answered. And they both walked on together.”
The Spirit of The LORD says to you today, “My Child, do not be deceived. There will be times when I will test your Faith. In those times you must yield yourself to Me, remembering that My Ways are not your ways; My Thoughts are not your thoughts. Testing is not punishment. Far from it! Testing means that I AM moving; it means I AM preparing you for the new thing. It means you are being stretched and moulded into the form required to carry what is coming. In those times you must seek My Perspective. You must choose to partner with Me. It is uncomfortable but with each season of testing you will notice yourself grow stronger in Me. Testing is necessary so My Request for you is: do not run from the test. When the challenge comes, allow faith to rise and set your mind upon My Truth.”
Activation : As you consider what God has said about times of testing, take some time to sit and read through Genesis 22:1-8 again. As you do this, think back to a time when you experienced testing.
- How did you respond to God in that time of testing?
- How do you feel about the idea of being tested by The LORD?
- How does Abraham respond to this test and what can you learn from Abraham’s response?
Spend some time journaling and reflecting upon these questions and how you have typically responded to God’s testing. Consider how your mindset or heart posture might need to change to position you for different outcomes in future challenges and times of testing.
11 March 2025. Faces of Flint (Part 2)
“Those who have set their faces like flint, determined and unwavering in their pursuit of My Kingdom, will be the ones who repel lies and accusations. They will laugh with Me at the enemy’s schemes to thwart My ways. They will stand because they know that they stand in Me; they will be confident in the righteousness I have imparted to them, and they will be guilt-free, for they know how far I have removed their sin.
My Child, where do you feel the accusations of the enemy? Do not accept these; I have vindicated you already. I call you blameless and holy. Stand firm; let Me lift your head. Resist the enemy, and he will flee. Do not look to the right or the left, but set your face like flint, fixed on Me and My expanding Kingdom.”
Activation : Today’s activation continues with Isaiah 50:8-9. As you read Verse 8, consider what is presented in this verse: “He who vindicates me is near. Who then will bring charges against me? Let us face each other! Who is my accuser? Let him confront me!” Are you being confronted by the accuser, whether in your thoughts or in the actions and words of others? What lies is he throwing at you? Stand firm and rebuke these lies, as you laugh with the Holy Spirit at their absurdity.
Now, as you read Verse 9: “It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me. Who will condemn me?” Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the vast difference between their power and God’s in the spirit. Picture yourself putting these things behind you and turning your back on them to face Jesus. Allow His mightiness to fill your being.
Romans 8:33-34 (ESV) “Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died — more than that, who was raised — who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.”
Psalm 2:1-4 (NIV) “Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against The LORD and against his anointed, saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” The One enthroned in heaven laughs; The LORD scoffs at them.”
Isaiah 50: 8-9 (NIV) “He who vindicates me is near. Who then will bring charges against me? Let us face each other! Who is my accuser? Let him confront me! It is the Sovereign LORD who helps me. Who will condemn me? They will all wear out like a garment; the moths will eat them up.”
10 March 2025. Faces of Flint (Part 1)
“My beloved one, I have equipped you for fearless pursuit. I AM is with you, filling you, surrounding you, overflowing from you. I AM the one before whom the mountains quake, therefore, do not fear the mountains of this world. Instead, speak to them and command them to move.
I AM the one who brings the whirlwind and calms the storms, therefore, allow no storm to unsettle you. Set your face like flint. Be unwavering as you pursue My Plans. Be unyielding to doubt and fear as you follow My Direction.
Where the enemy has attempted to unsettle you and hold you back, or even accuse you, renounce his attempts. Draw a line on all that has gone before you and set your face forward. See what I AM doing and move fearlessly with Me.”
Application : Read Isaiah 50:7 (NIV): “Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced.”
Ask The Holy Spirit to show you in the Spirit how powerful he is and how you look with him filling you. Linger in the image he shows you, allowing yourself to be immersed in him as you allow your mind to be renewed by what he shows you.
Decree the following scripture over every circumstance or situation of uncertainty: “Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.” As you do this, ask The Holy Spirit where he wants to set your vision, ask him to reveal anything which is a distraction or source of fear. Renounce these and determine with The Holy Spirit what “setting your face like flint” looks like for you. What does fearless pursuit look like?
Psalm 147:5-6 (ESV) “Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground.”
Isaiah 50:7 (NIV) “Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.”
7 March 2025. Consider Your Ways (Part 2)
Yesterday we learned that The LORD is requiring us to work with Him in assessing what we are doing and how closely aligned we are to His heart and His plans. Today we continue that reflection through the lens of the Holy Spirit as we dig further into 1 Peter 5, looking at the remaining verses 7 – 11. As we consider our ways, today we look more intently at how we consider the cares of this world in light of who Christ is and what He requires of us.
Activation : Vs 7 – “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you”
Take a moment to sit in this verse. What anxieties are you carrying that should be handed over to The LORD? Because He cares so deeply for you, He wants to be the one to carry them. As you read this verse imagine God removing your burdens and exchanging them for the peace that comes from surrendering to His care. Allow this lightness to rest on you as you hand over all the heaviness you are carrying.
Vs 8-9 – “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.”
Allow The LORD to search your heart and reveal areas where you may have become intoxicated, distracted, or indifferent toward worldly things. Consider how this might expose you to unnecessary attacks. What are some ways you can stand firm in your faith to resist the influence of the wicked one?
In James 4:7 (ESV), we find the instruction: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Ask The LORD to show you what this looks like for you and identify the areas in your life that are not fully submitted to Him.
Vs 10-11 – “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
Consider the promises that are listed in these verses. Ask The LORD to reveal what that will look like for you specifically. As He does this, allow the hope of our eternal salvation and glory in Christ to encourage your heart. Praise him for his supremacy above all things.
6 March 2025. Consider Your Ways (Part 1)
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Consider your ways.”
During this time and season, it is important to give careful thought to where you apply your efforts. The LORD tests the hearts of men and understands all our actions and our ways. As He searches our hearts, our intentions and motivations are revealed, allowing His Spirit to lead and guide us toward a higher alignment with Him.
Just as Jesus told His disciples that those who do the will of His Father in Heaven are His true family, The LORD is challenging each of us to take a serious and sober look at what we do and why we do it. Is what we are doing in accordance with His will? We must carefully consider how we steward our time, finances, words, relationships, and responsibilities. All of these aspects require careful reflection through the lens of His Spirit.
Activation : Over the next two days, we will read through 1 Peter 5: 1-11 (ESV). Today we begin with the first six verses of this scripture. The LORD wants to stir your hearts as you hear His voice through the scripture.
Vs 1-4 – “So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.”
Consider where God has placed you geographically, spiritually, and relationally. Ask The LORD how you can serve as a better example to the people around you. If you’re a leader in any capacity, seek His guidance for a candid assessment of your strengths and weaknesses in leading and guiding others.
Vs 5-6 – “Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.”
It is in humility and surrender that we grow in wisdom. Ask The LORD to show you the areas where you need to increase in humility towards God and others to better reflect the meekness of the heart of Jesus.
5 March 2025. Reveal the Word
“I AM bringing you into a new capacity to internalise My Word and to understand the depths of what I have hidden, only for you to discover. Prepare to receive knowledge, understanding and insight as I expand your capability to process My Kingdom Truths. Come and feast, devour My Words, make them part of who you are, and allow them to become the foundation of your thinking and your speaking.
I AM calling you to know me in ways that can only be revealed to you through My Word — in the mysteries that My Spirit will release to you through scripture. Seek Me, find me, dwell with Me and abide in My Word.
As My Church increasingly becomes the embodiment of My Words, so My Kingdom will be revealed in The Nations. Precious one, let My Word pour out of you, let what you speak be so seasoned with My Spirit that I AM revealed and glorified. Come and be expanded, let Me increase you!”
Activation : Have you doubted your ability to understand, process and remember God’s word? Reject all lies of the enemy and decree, “Holy Spirit is increasing my capacity for understanding his word.” Decree over your mind “Holy Spirit is forming in me the mind of Christ as I read the word.”
As you spend time in the word, ask:
“Holy Spirit will you fill and expand my mind. Would you teach me to understand with your understanding. Would you take me into new realms of encountering your presence and your voice through your word. In the name of Jesus I break off any assignment of the enemy to keep me in the shallows of your word. I break off any curses I have spoken over my own mind. Come as my teacher, come in power and immerse my entire being in your word, that all I do and say may be impacted for your glory. Amen”
Psalm 119:11-14 (NIV) “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.”
Hebrews 4:12 (ESV) “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
John 16:13-14 (ESV) “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”
4 March 2025. A Reformed Army
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Who will answer the call to enlist in the army that I AM forming for the days ahead?
Do not be afraid of the valley you are standing in with dry bones all around you. I AM standing with you, and I AM directing and guiding you with My words, so that all which once was dead will come alive. You are called to prophesy into the precise timing of the formation of the company who will lead this new army.
The boot camp of my preparation is in the hearts and minds of those who desire to walk in purity with clean hands and a pure heart. The cleansing of the mind must come before my warriors are formed in bodily strength. I AM about to breathe on minds even as I fill your spirit with My presence.
Do not fear the chaos you are seeing or the resistance to change that feels part of the atmosphere all around you. As I have in the past, I AM putting confusion into the minds of your enemies and placing a new determination into the minds of those resistant to change. Continually ask for clarity, revelation, and instructions so that you are fully aware of your role in the calling up of the troops.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to help you to see the dry bones all around you, those whom God has asked you to pray for and call back to life. Prophesy for them as Ezekiel did and call them by name: ________, listen to the word of The LORD! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!
Ask The LORD if there are any situations or relationships in your life that you have given up on prematurely – speak life into these and ask The LORD to restore that which is within His purposes to build his army for The Kingdom.
Ezekiel 37:1-10 (NLT) “The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of The LORD to a valley filled with bones. He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of The LORD! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am The LORD.” So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons. Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.” So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet — a great army.”
3 March 2025. Wrong Yokes
The Spirit of The LORD says: “I AM removing the yoke of relationships that have drawn you away from Me. Some relationships in your life are holding you back from entering into My Presence and your purpose. You are aligned with the wrong people.
Instead, be yoked with Me. When you walk with Me, I will shoulder the burden of your purpose alongside you. No longer will you strain against what is fleeting and temporary. Together, we will work toward what has eternal value. I will give you rest and bless the work of your hands. I will heal the pain you’ve endured from being yoked with those I did not choose for you because I’ve seen your struggle. Early in the morning, I will come to rescue you, free you from this bondage, and lead you on the right path.”
Application : Take time to pray about each of your relationships and ask God to reveal His will for them. Surrender these relationships to Him, trusting that He will guide you into connections that align with His purpose for your life. God is faithful to heal the wounds caused by harmful relationships and to lead you into partnerships that bear fruit for His Kingdom.
Matthew 11:28-29 (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.”
2 Corinthians 6:14 (ESV) “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”
