30 May 2025. Discernment and Compassion
“I AM teaching you,” says The LORD. “I AM opening your eyes to see the enemy’s tactics to entice people in your family, neighbourhood or Church. I AM giving you discernment so that you can stand as watchmen, conquer new territory and set the captives free.
However, you need to be careful in the process. I see your heart and I know your love for Me. Even so, pay attention not to mistake your flesh with your spirit. For though your spirit senses that something is “off” — you cannot react instinctively!
I say to you: stop, lean on me from within, find your balance and ask me what is the right approach, strategy or spiritual warfare. For you are called to be a reflection of Jesus, I have put you where you are to bring my love and compassion. Don’t make it personal, don’t try to convince with head knowledge only to end up in the adversary’s snare.
Learn instead to release my Kingdom wherever you go and whoever you speak to. Let My fragrance be your wake, allow My Love Song to win hearts through you. Remember, it’s not by might, but by My Spirit.”
Activation : Ask The LORD to remind you of those people with whom you haven’t properly followed his Spirit, even though you were right. Repent for having knowingly or unknowingly partnered with your flesh or with the enemy. Then pray for a Spirit-led solution and for further tips on how to lavish his love better.
Ephesians 6:12 (NIV) “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Matthew 9:36 (ESV) “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
Zechariah 4:6 (MSG) “Then he said, “This is God’s Message to Zerubbabel: ‘You can’t force these things. They only come about through my Spirit,’ says God-of-the-Angel-Armies.”
29 May 2025. Come Away With Me
Imagine you are traveling on a train with The LORD. As you are traveling along you see lots of different signs. Some of these signs are distractions and the difficulty is this: the train stops in response to your attention, giving you time to make a difficult choice. Will you stay on the train with The LORD or will you respond to the call of other things?
Sometimes, even when you stay on the train, you can become distracted and lose your focus. What you focus on is what you become like. The LORD calls you to ‘come away’ from earthly distractions and spend quality time with Him. He has set a banqueting table out just for you to sit at, with Him, and be satisfied. You have your invitation. Will you come? He is calling you. . . ‘My Beloved, are you coming?’
Activation : As you awake greet God and ask Him to lead you, to sit beside the still waters with you.
Do this before you get out of bed if possible. Ask Him what He wants you to know for this day. As you hear from Him, record what He says and then feed on His manna throughout the day. You can repeat this as many times as you find useful. Sometimes it is useful to write down what He says to look back at.
Psalm 23:5 (TPT) “You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit.”
Song of Solomon 2.13b (TPT) “There is change in the air. Arise my love, my beautiful companion and run with me to the higher place. For now is the time to arise and come away with me.”
James 4.8 (NIV) “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
28 May 2025. Stir Up Wonder
“I AM the One who through love painted Heaven and Earth and with that same steadfast love made you in My Image. Look around: can you see the creativity in all that I undertake?
Therefore I say unto you: this is not a time to stay on your usual tracks; this is not a season to wallow in the same old grind. Let no comfort beguile you into remaining stuck in a religious mindset. Allow me to inspire you by my Spirit and be filled with joy and inventiveness. Don’t linger over what is now stale. Move with me and I will show you how even a daily routine can become a wild adventure.
Have I not created the rainbow? Take its colours and decorate your job, your ministry, your community, your family, The Nations! These are the days to be tasty salt for whoever is around you and to show my light to the world.
Only as you follow My Spirit and mirror my ingenious bent, will you see those signs and wonders you’ve been waiting for and which will lead many to believe.”
Activation : Take some time in God’s presence and ask Holy Spirit to show you how you can be creative and enlighten each area of your life. Sometimes it may simply be a more imaginative way of interacting with people, other times as you go about your day he may be suggesting to redecorate your home or giving you an incredible idea for an invention that might bless a people’s group. Don’t put limits to the Holy Spirit, take this week to listen more carefully to what he has to say. Be expectant!
Hebrews 13:8 (AMP) “Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever.”
Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV) “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Matthew 5:13-16 (ESV) “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
27 May 2025. Clearing the Corners
“I have been clearing out My House — I have been asking My People to rid themselves of the weight of the things I have not called them to carry. You have noticed the big shifts, you have done the heavy lifting and I have burned away your own agendas with a call to extravagant obedience.
But I AM not calling you to rest there — I AM now requiring you to clean out the corners. Now the bigger things have been cleared, I ask you to notice the corners that are filled with things from previous seasons; unresolved trauma, rejection, ‘little sins’ and coping mechanisms that once served you well but are now out of alignment with Me. Now is the time to be cleansed of such things.
We are shifting into a new season where weighty anointings are being released — but only to those whose hearts and lives are clean and pure in My Sight. No longer will I tolerate personal agendas, false accusation or disunity in The Body — My Grace will be lifted from those who harbour such things. My Bride must purify herself in every corner, in order to clear the way for an outpouring of my Spirit that will move through her in power; announcing My Victory and advancing My Kingdom.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit to show you the inside of your heart; specifically ask Him to take you to the corners. Allow Him to reveal to you the things that are stuck there. Spend time with Him, asking Him to heal you from past hurts, repent where you feel convicted, and release the coping mechanisms that are no longer serving you well. Encounter His grace and compassion for you in these moments. Sit with Him as the launderer’s soap from Malachi 3:2, washing you clean.
Malachi 3:1-3 (NASB 2020) “Behold, I am sending My messenger, and he will clear a way before Me. And The LORD, whom you are seeking, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says The LORD of armies. “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderer’s soap. And He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to The LORD offerings in righteousness.”
Psalm 26:2-3 (NASB 2020) “Examine me, Lord, and put me to the test; refine my mind and my heart. For your goodness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.”
26 May 2025. I AM Enough
“I AM releasing a greater revelation of My strength to you. I AM enough. You will know Me as your Sustainer, your Support, your Rock, and your Foundation. You have felt the vulnerability as some of your old support structures have been taken away; you have even asked me why I have removed the very thing you need. You feel the sense of having outgrown some comforts yet they remain held in one hand.
My beloved, they were good in their time but that time has ended. They were there to lead you towards maturity but full maturity comes as I become your only support. I AM enough. Release the things that are falling away and do not cling to the things that will keep you from trusting Me alone. I AM enough.
As you let go, I AM releasing Wisdom, Discernment of what to leave behind, and strategy to be able to honour what has been, without nostalgia or false loyalty. I will show you how to let go well, especially where there are relationship changes that I AM leading you into.
I AM building the truth within you that I AM enough!”
Activation : Take time with The Holy Spirit asking him to reveal any area of support that he wants you to release. See yourself handing this back to him. Speak Psalm 18:1-3 over this new area of vulnerability. Declare out loud “Jesus is enough.” Repeat this process on a daily basis until you see the truth of your security in Jesus replacing your sense of vulnerability.
Psalm 18:1-3 (NIV) “I love you, Lord, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I called to The LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.”
James 1:2-4 (NIV) “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
Hebrews 5:13-14 (NASB) “For everyone who partakes only of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to distinguish between good and evil.”
23 May 2025. Refreshment
The Father is calling you today: “Come here! Come here My Beloved one. You have stood and held your place with joy and steadfastness but I see that you are weary now. As Nehemiah kept going to complete the wall, ignoring the onslaughts of the enemy, you have continued pressing forward to build the Kingdom.
Come to the place I have prepared for you, just for you. It is tailored to your needs. It is nourishing and restful for the body, soul and spirit. Come, let me revive, restore and revitalise you. I will release my strength into your tired limbs and muscles. I will refresh your mind and spirit so that you will be able to ‘go again’. I will reveal blueprints for the new thing I will do; I will direct you. I will be your strength and shield.
Come to this prepared ‘oasis’ and let me wash you clean and refresh your mind with My living Water.”
Activation : As you go to bed tonight release your cares, concerns and anxieties, big and small. Visualise yourself arriving at an oasis. Greenery, water, shade; an opportunity to be cleansed and washed. As you undress, give your concerns/cares to Jesus. You might like to write down a list and then shred the paper. Spend a moment connecting with Him as you release these things, recognising that nothing to is too small or too big for His attention and care. Appreciate God for who He is — the great ‘I AM’!
Psalm 42:1 (MSG) “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
Song of Solomon 2:10 (MSG) “My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.””
Psalm 23:2-3 (MSG) “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
22 May 2025. Run Unhindered
“Many of you are prepared for this season of assignment and acceleration. You have been through a time of training and now the race is on! However, I speak to those in My Body, who still need to lay aside every vestige of disappointment, heaviness and frustration that would weigh you down. I need your soul to prosper and for your emotions to be healthy so that they do not derail you in the days ahead.
Come, sit with Me and allow Me to lift those burdens and bring healing to your heart, so that you can run the race of faith with endurance and not be distracted from My purposes for your life.
My Beloved, I also desire for you to enjoy good health so that you’re fit and strong to stay in the race. Do not neglect your physical body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Ask Me about your nutrition, hydration, exercise and movement. Allow Me to show you what and how to build those things into your life. Take time to rest and recover and allow your body to restore and heal. I AM Your Heavenly Father, and I long for you to thrive in every season of your life.”
Activation : Spend time thanking God that He cares about every aspect of your life and ask Him to show you if there is any ‘weight’ you need to lay aside, healing to receive and/ or any lifestyle changes you need to make. Are there new habits or disciplines to develop? This may take time to work through so ask The LORD for a plan, if appropriate. Take small steps towards emotional and physical wellbeing and stay on the journey! Remember, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NLT) “Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way and may your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.”
Hebrews 12:1 (TPT) “So, we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us.”
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (AMPC) “Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.”
21 May 2025. Strengthened to Stand
“I call you to holiness, to a life that is consecrated and set apart to Me. This comes from the revelation that you are living as one with Me in spirit and there is no separation. Strengthen yourself spiritually by constant communion with Me.
I urge you to protect your times of praise, which is a weapon, worship, fasting and prayer. Study My word, immersing yourself in truth so that your mind is renewed. Put on the full armour of God to take the ground. Then stand in victory. Do not neglect meeting together, sharing bread and wine. Community which offers mutual edification, sharpening and loving support is vital in the days ahead.
When challenges come, do not resist. The natural response is to stop or, at least, shrink back. How about leaning in? You know that difficult times build perseverance and perseverance builds character, character that is strong enough to carry the weight of your call.
I need you to stay strong in your faith as you fearlessly pursue what I have called you to do. Be those ones who are spiritually robust enough to carry My Glory as you partner with Me to see the Kingdom bear much fruit and the harvest of souls. I am raising up My Warrior Bride!”
Activation : Prayerfully read through the word and ask The LORD to highlight anything you need to do to strengthen yourself spiritually. Are there spiritual disciplines which you have neglected? Do you need to deal with fear, self-doubt or lack of confidence? What do you need to put in place to take hold of what God has called you to?
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NLT) “Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way and may your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.”
1 Corinthians 16:13 (AMPC) “Be alert and on your guard; stand firm in your faith (your conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, keeping the trust and holy fervor born of faith and a part of it). Act like men and be courageous; grow in strength!”
Ephesians 6:10- 13 (CEV) “Finally, let the mighty strength of The LORD make you strong. Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil’s tricks. We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world. So put on all the armor that God gives. Then when that evil day comes, you will be able to defend yourself. And when the battle is over, you will still be standing firm.”
20 May 2025. Set Apart for Me
“At this time of transition, when many in the Body of Christ are poised, ready to step into new assignments and see promises fulfilled, remember whose you are and who you are. I call you to be Holy because I AM Holy, and you are made in My Image. My Bride, in humility, cry out for Me to release a Fear of The LORD and a burning desire for Holiness as you consecrate yourselves afresh.
Living a life which is holy and set apart for Me will protect you from the wiles of the enemy and the distractions of the world. Shape your lives as ones who live victoriously for Jesus, so that you can overcome every temptation in thought, word, and deed. Determine to keep your hearts and minds pure, at peace and focused on Me.
I call you to this life which is energetic and blazing with holiness because of the increasingly dark days you are living in. Without holiness piercing the world’s darkness and revealing a way forward that is drenched in light, no one will see Me. I AM the One who has called you and I will be faithful to complete the work in you. I AM coming back for a pure and spotless bride, and I will have My prize.”
Activation : As the Holy Spirit leads, ask The LORD to show you any areas of compromise or complacency in your heart and life. If conviction comes, spend time in confession and repentance. Where appropriate, pray in agreement with a friend or leader for a right fear of The LORD. Surrender afresh and ask Holy Spirit to help you walk in new levels of consecration in the days ahead.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NLT) “Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way and may your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.”
Hebrews 12:14 (NIV) “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see The LORD.”
1 Peter 1: 14-16 (NLT) “So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I AM holy.””
19 May 2025. Master Over the Elements
“I AM the God who quiets the storm and stills the sea. Wind and weather obey My Command. Creation and all the elements of nature bow to My Orders. There is no storm too mighty; no earthquake too heavy; no flood too strong; no fire too raging for Me that I would not be Lord over it. I AM the Master over the elements! Trust My Authority and trust the authority I gave you.
Remember when I was on the boat with my disciples and suddenly a furious storm came up.
They were so afraid while I was still sleeping. They woke me up in despair. Fear in their eyes; no faith or confidence. They cried: “LORD, save us!” And I just got up and rebuked the winds and the waves and it was completely calm. My Disciples were so amazed and exclaimed: “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him.” (Matthew 8:23-27)
“And I tell you: If you believe and trust Me, you will do the same works that I have done and you will do even greater things than I did. Therefore, let me challenge you into the greater things, into greater trust and into greater possibilities. Trust ME, the Master over the elements and The LORD of the impossible, and you will see mountains moved, storms calmed, fires quenched, people healed and freed. You have watched me do it, now YOU do it!”
Activation : Read Matthew 8:23-27. As you read it, imagine yourself in the boat. See Me getting up and commanding the wind and the waves. Experience the absolute calm afterwards.
Now, read it a second time. But this time I command You that You get up and calm the wind and the waves. Do my actions! Speak my words! Do it in my authority! I have given you this authority. You have to get used to doing what I did, under My command and under My control. You have to learn to do things My way, in absolute trust in Me.
You might have to act the passage out a second and third time — I want you to see, hear, feel and experience what it does in the spiritual realm, in the natural realm, and in yourself when you use My authority over the elements of nature.
Matthew 8:23-27 (NIV) “Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!””
John 14:12 (ESV) “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.”
16 May 2025. A Straight Path
“Take My Hand and let Me lead you. Do not be disturbed by your earthly circumstances nor by the unexpected twists and turns in the path set before you. The path is straight despite how you see it through the demands of this world; the tugging and pulling of good works rather than My Works.
Keep close and listen to My Voice. Hold My Hand so that you are always aligned to My Purpose. I know that it can sometimes feel like you are playing a game of ‘Twister’ as earthly demands exert their pull on you. Do not let go of My hand so that I can lead you and reveal to you how to navigate all of this “stuff.” Come, let us go forward together!”
Activation : Read 1 Samuel 14:8-14 in your preferred translation aloud. In this passage, Jonathan speaks with confidence as he demonstrates that he knew his authority rested in God. Spend some time asking Holy Spirit to speak and guide you as you study this passage. Ask for the gift of confidence to be bold in following The LORD’s leading.
Psalm 37:5 (TPT) “Give God the right to direct your life and as you trust Him along the way, you’ll find that He pulled it off perfetly!”
Isaiah 30:21 (TPT) “When you turn to the right or turn to the left you will hear His voice behind you to guide you, saying, this is the right path, follow it.”
15 May 2025. Partner in Preparation
“Beloved, I recognize the frustration of this season. I recognize the frustration that comes from knowing that where you are positioned currently is no longer right and that I AM calling you forward into a new assignment. You don’t yet, however, have all of the pieces. It feels as if the things you have dreamed about for years are within your grasp yet still slightly out of reach.
I say to you today, I recognize the frustration of being caught between two places. Of being in the middle of the “not yet” of the new and the “not satisfied” of the old. My Child, it is very important to not grow frustrated in the in-between. Will you trust Me in this space of the in-between to ensure that you are properly prepared for the new assignment that is before you?
Lean in to Me and give Me the space required to prepare you fully for the stewardship of the new assignment I have for you. Do not give in to the temptation to grow frustrated. Do not listen to the voice of apathy. Tell hastiness to keep moving. Do not partner with these things and miss what I AM doing. Instead, trust the process of preparation I AM leading you through and lean in to Me.”
Activation : Take some time to quiet yourself and ask Holy Spirit to reveal to you what he is doing in and around you at this time. Invite Holy Spirit to speak to you or show you a picture or vision that explains how you are being prepared to move forward. Repent if necessary for partnering with frustration, hastiness, apathy, or anything else that would steal your openness to God’s plans and purposes.
Ephesians 1:17-18 (NLT) “I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called — his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.”
1 Corinthians 1:9-10 (NLT) “That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.”
14 May 2025. Ask, Seek, Knock
“Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. I delight in releasing My Wisdom which comes from above. Getting Wisdom is the wisest thing you can do. It is through My Wisdom that you will be victorious and overcome.
Love, guard and protect the wisdom that I AM releasing to you because the enemy would like to come in like a thief and snatch it away from you. My Wisdom brings life and healing to your whole body. My Wisdom is like the first rays of dawn which will shine brighter and brighter within you. When you walk, you will not be held back. When you run, you will not stumble for My Wisdom is the key to life.
My expectant ones, because of My Wisdom, you need not to be afraid of sudden disaster or destruction. My Wisdom allows you to be able to lie down and sleep soundly. There are so many benefits of seeking and asking for My Wisdom. It is time to search for My Wisdom like a treasure. Seek My Wisdom above all else.”
Activation : Today, continue your examination of the book of Proverbs. Make note of every time wisdom is referred to. Start a list of all the benefits of The LORD’s wisdom in your life. Ask The LORD for wisdom in your life to help you navigate the next season.
James 3:13 (NIV) “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.”
13 May 2025. Time For Wisdom
“My expectant ones, you are about to enter a season where you will need My Wisdom to be able to navigate through the storms and the chaos that will be swirling all around you. Remember My Wisdom is not like the world’s. It is time to ask for My Wisdom because I want to generously give it to you.
My Wisdom will be a shield around you. It will guard the path you are called to walk upon. Let My Wisdom permeate your heart and My knowledge fill you with joy. As the storms rage from every direction, continue to put your trust in Me and lean not on your own understanding. Seek My Will in all that you do, and then I will guide you and protect you. Don’t be impressed with your own or the world’s wisdom. Instead keep your eyes on Me.”
Activation : Spend time reading through the book of Proverbs. Make note of every time wisdom is referred to. Start a list of all the benefits of The LORD’s wisdom in your life. Ask The LORD for wisdom in your life to help you navigate the next season.
James 1:5 (NLT) “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.”
12 May 2025. White Noise
The Sovereign LORD says: “Do not allow yourself to lose focus and become distracted by the noise around you. Stop listening to white noise, for it blocks out My Voice! When you focus on the noise around you can end up following something else you have heard or seen that is not from Me. Such a focus weakens your spiritual attention and your ability to connect with The Holy Spirit will grow patchy. Do not allow the white noise to cause your mission to be blurred, your effectiveness as my prophet to be compromised, or your growth towards fullness to be stunted.
Don’t even consider listening to whispers which question your calling because you have become codependent on such seductive intrusions. Trust in such constant commotion is misplaced. Since when did you set aside my still small voice of revelation?” says The LORD.
“As I spoke through the voice of the prophet Malachi, I say to you: ‘Return to me and I will return to you’. Cast aside worthless messages which the world so loves and which the enemy is so eager to have you consume. Tune them out and tune back into the sound of My Voice. I have so much to tell you — but I need you to listen.”
Activation : As Jesus would withdraw to a solitary place to be with His Father, set aside some time in the day to be alone in a quiet environment with God. Use scripture like noise-cancelling headphones — listen to an audio translation rather than turning on background noise. Or repeat a favourite Bible verse over and over in your head or under your breath to gain the focus you need to move into a place where you can reconnect with The LORD and quiet the other voices that seek to pull you away.
Turn off all devices. Come just as you are before The LORD — without any agenda or need for blessing or help or support. In stillness, turn off the white noise. And listen…
Malachi 3:7 (ESV) “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says The LORD of hosts.”
Proverbs 4:20-22 (NIV) “My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.”
Mark 4:18-20 (ESV) “Others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty-fold and sixty-fold and a hundred-fold.”
9 May 2025. In God’s Favour
The Spirit of The LORD says: “I will not allow anyone who honours Me with their lips but not in their heart to receive glory and accolades. They looked for approval from others and have received their desire. In doing so, they proved they did not value the blessing I would have given them.
If you seek My Face, I will strengthen you and protect you from disgrace. I will uphold your integrity so that even the enemy cannot bring a charge against you.
Your dedication to My Presence brings me joy, and I will sustain you even when My calling upon your life feels heavy. Others may question or challenge what I have spoken to you, but remain steadfast — I AM refining you for My Purpose which will bring glory to Me.”
Activation : God is calling you to a deeper level of intimacy and devotion, where His favor rests on those who genuinely seek Him. This is an invitation to examine your heart; are you pursuing His Presence or the approval of others?
Commit to spending intentional time with God, not just in words but in action. Prioritize worship, prayer, and studying His Word. When challenges arise or when others question what God has spoken to you, stand firm. His hand upon you may feel weighty at times, but trust that He is refining you, not abandoning you.
Ask God to reveal any areas where you have sought recognition from people rather than from Him. Repent where needed and embrace His presence as your greatest reward. As you remain steadfast, He will strengthen you, keep you from scandal, and make your life a testimony of His favor.
Practical Steps to Apply :
1. Deepen Your Time with God: Set aside dedicated time for worship and prayer, seeking Him above all else
2. Guard Your Integrity: Live in such a way that accusations cannot stand against you
3. Reject the Need for Human Approval: Let God’s delight in you be enough, rather than striving for validation from others
4. Stand Firm in What God Has Spoken: When doubts arise, remind yourself of His promises
5. Endure the Refining Process : Trust that any difficulties you face are shaping you into who He has called you to be.
This is a season of separation and refining; embrace it, knowing that His favor and strength will sustain you.
Numbers 17:5 (ESV) “And the staff of the man whom I choose shall sprout. Thus I will make to cease from me the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against you.”
Psalm 5:12 (ESV). “For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.”
8 May 2025. Higher and Wider
The Spirit of The LORD says: “I AM calling you higher. I AM calling you to fly like an eagle above your circumstances. Do not let earthly matters entangle you and stop you from rising up high to discern what is really happening in the spirit. This is a time of pushing through; soar and open your wings higher and wider to reach that place where I can reveal to you what is happening in your region and in The Nations.
Do not let daily burdens distract you from where I AM taking you. Do not allow the enemy to whisper in your ear that what you are facing has no solution, or that you don’t have enough authority to win your battle. As you come up higher, the earthly noise and chaos will fall away — and you will receive clarity of vision and revelation.
As you look up to Me, as you rest in Me; you must also start preparing. Anoint your weapons and feel My Power rise within you. Is not the spirit who dwells in you the same who raised Jesus from the dead? Stand firm and you will see that just your presence will scare the enemy’s minions away. For time in my presence strengthens your defences and releases your ability to stand under pressure.”
Activation : Spend time in worship magnifying God and his greatness. Then hand over to The LORD any worries or battles you may be facing. Make the conscious decision to rise above these things, to stretch out wider – to go higher, above the chaos of the world.
As you breathe in his shalom peace and breathe out any anxiety, listen to what Holy Spirit is revealing to you about your nation and land. Ask him how you should be preparing; in what areas are you to anoint your weapons and to stand.
Isaiah 40:31 (NLT) “But those who trust in The LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
James 4:7 (NIV) “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Isaiah 21:5 (NKJV) “Prepare the table, set a watchman in the tower, eat and drink. Arise, you princes, anoint the shield!”
7 May 2025. Invitation
“Would you let Me break your heart for the things that break mine Would you allow Me to shift your focus from yourself so that I can reveal to you the emotions of My heart. Let Me show you what I AM interceding for right now as I look upon the earth.
I feel the physical battles of those fighting cancer and other illnesses. I sense the anguish of displaced families and the worries of parents desperately trying to provide safety, shelter and food for their children. I feel the sorrow of those grieving the loss of loved ones. I witness the devastation of those whose lives have been ripped apart by war — lost homes, stolen futures, and every possession taken from them. I see the hopelessness and despair that grips many people, disillusioned by their governments. I sense the anger and hate of those persecuted because of their ethnicity, gender or faith.
I feel the deep despair of people struggling with their mental health. I see those chasing fleeting worldly ambitions, unaware that they are in deep spiritual bondage. I see how the enemy deceives so many
I died for every one of them and I love them all. My heart aches for them to come and to run to Me. I am everything they seek and chase after.
Will you stand in the gap for them? Will you intercede on their behalf? Will you let My burden become yours? In shifting your focus, you will discover that joy will fill your heart, My Presence will surround you and you will be strengthened with renewed hope. I know your needs, My child, and I have promised to take care of them. Today, I ask you to feel what I feel, to allow your heart to be moved by My emotions for others, and to work with me to see My Kingdom come.”
Activation : In your quiet place ask Jesus what is on His heart as He looks at the world. Ask Holy Spirit to lift any hardness or numbness from you. Allow yourself to feel His emotions. Who is He calling you to stand in the gap for and intercede on behalf of? Maybe it’s a sick neighbour, refugees in your city, or a certain people group or nation. Ask Him to give you specific prayer points for that person, people group, region, or generation. Let your heart be moved and filled with His deep compassion and love. Pray from that place, with deep groans of your spirit, as you bring it all before Him.
Hebrews 7:25 (NLT) “Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.”
1 Timothy 2:1-5 (NIV) “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.”
6 May 2025. Leadership Restored
The LORD says, “I alone AM God, and I judge the heart motivation and actions of men in positions of leadership and responsibility, in all walks of life. I will hold to account those with prideful agendas and narratives who defile many and exalt themselves above knowing Me as the One True God. I need My people to pray with purity of heart for all leaders, as My judgement is always to refine, redeem and restore.
Just as I gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream in which a tall and strong tree represented the apparent strength and success of his life, he was left in no doubt that I would not tolerate his pride, “Chop down the tree, lop off its branches, strip its leaves and scatter its fruit.” (Daniel 4:13 MSG).
In the same dream, the roots and stump remained as a sign of My heart to restore his life so that he would live as one submitted to Me. Likewise, pray for those in positions of power, that they would choose to repent and humble themselves before Me, whilst there is still time.
The world has lost faith in its leadership and is desperate to see heaven’s standard of governance that renews trust and creates an atmosphere of hope in these turbulent days. I AM purging leadership across the nations to make space for My Bride to govern with purity, humility and an identity that’s secure
Therefore posture yourself with humility before me. Lay yourself down as My People who are seeking to advance My Kingdom upon the earth, and declare that it is My Will that is to be done upon your land.”
Activation : Take time to pray for the leaders in your church, community and nation. Ask Holy Spirit for revelation about who to pray for specifically – which people, organisations, governments or nations. Ask that He would lead you in accurate, weighty and significant intercession, and declare that His Kingdom come over all those people and situations in the name of Jesus.
Daniel 4: 26-27 (MSG) “‘The part about the tree stump and roots being left means that your kingdom will still be there for you after you learn that it is heaven that runs things. So, king, take my advice: Make a clean break with your sins and start living for others. Quit your wicked life and look after the needs of the down-and-out. Then you will continue to have a good life.”
Proverbs 16:10-13 (MSG) “A good leader motivates, doesn’t mislead, doesn’t exploit. God cares about honesty in the workplace; your business is his business. Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds; sound leadership has a moral foundation. Good leaders cultivate honest speech; they love advisors who tell them the truth.”
5 May 2025. Guard Your Heart
The LORD says, “Guard your heart against the deception of idolatry. This may not come in the obvious fashion of idols formed by the hands of man, made of wood and stone, that do not see, nor eat, nor smell. I speak of the things, even seemingly good things, that take priority in your heart over Me. I have said to seek Me first and My ways above all else and then My Kingdom will be added to you.
So, I ask, why then do you seek other voices before you seek mine? Why do you search out the counsel or opinions of others before approaching Me? I have said that when you open your mouth, I will fill it, meaning that if you ask, I will respond.
So, ask Me and keep asking. Seek Me and keep seeking. Seek Me first and at all hours of the day. When you rise in the morning, throughout the course of your day and in the night hours before you close your eyes and sleep overtakes you. Come to Me for the wisdom and understanding that you require and that only I can provide, and learn what I have to say about the matters of your life, no matter how big or small.”
Activation : Proverbs 2:6 states that all wisdom and understanding comes from God, so with that in mind, we should re-evaluate the sources of counsel in our lives and prioritise seeking God first.With the help of Holy Spirit, take time to honestly assess the following:
Whose voice do you magnify as the voice of authority in your life to determine the direction of your day?
When things are out of order in your life, who and what do you seek first to bring them into order and whose plan do you follow?
These questions are just a starting point. Pay attention to other scenarios the Holy Spirit brings to mind. When that happens, repent and commit to prioritise God’s voice as the primary source of counsel.
Proverbs 2:6 (AMP) “For The LORD gives [skillful and godly] wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and Understanding.”
Psalm 81:7-10 (AMP) ““You called in [the time of] trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah “Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you— O Israel, if you would listen to Me! “Let there be no strange god among you, Nor shall you worship any foreign god. “I am The LORD your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.”
Matthew 7:7-8 (NLT) “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”
2 May 2025. A Sumptuous Banquet
The Spirit of The LORD says: “Let go of stale and worthless food that your spirit has ingested. Cleanse your palette. My Word is full of nutrients, purified by My Spirit with no additives or man-made substances!
My Word sustains you, fills you, and purifies your mind and soul. It is rich in fiber and densely structured, providing you with so much to chew on. It builds you up and gives you spiritual muscle. Daily I prepare for you a sumptuous banquet from the wealth of my word and that is all you need to maintain your endurance and be fortified.”
Activation : Take some time to consider and journal your responses to these questions:
- What am I hungry and thirsty for?
- What is my daily sustenance?
- What is my spirit feasting on?
- Am I being satisfied with inferior food?
- Am I trying to gain strength on food that has gone stale?
Matthew 4:3-4 (NLT) “During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’””
1 Peter 2:2-3 (NLT) “Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of The LORD’s kindness.”
1 May 2025. Let’s Go!
“I AM opening a new way ahead of you, My Child. Now is the time for you to put your shoulders back, believe that everything I’ve taught you is inside of you, and be prepared to bring it to fruition. Therefore, enjoy the journey. I’m leading you on a path where I will open unforeseen doors, cause you to have favour with unexpected people, and empower you to thrive in unimaginable ways.
In return, I need you to be extravagantly generous with your gifting, audacious in stepping onto untrodden ground, and open hearted in taking care of the ones I send you. It won’t necessarily start big, but don’t despise the day of small beginnings. For as you grow stronger along the way, my vision for you will grow wider.
While you walk, run, and even fly, ask me for wisdom, ask me for discernment, ask me for all the paraphernalia you need. I AM your Provider, and I will provide for all that you require. Hence, pack your suitcase and come on this adventure with me. You will be astounded by what I have in store for you. Are you ready?”
Activation : Set aside time enough to get into The Presence of God undistracted and linger there. As you go into the spirit and see Jesus, take note of what he shows you. Visualise Jesus opening a door in front of you. What type of door is it? Is it modern or is it an ancient gate? As you walk with The LORD and lock your eyes on Him, ask Him for more details about the journey He is taking you on. Be sure to take notes as He provides you with the blueprint.
Revelation 3:7 (NIV) “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”
Zechariah 4:10 (NLT) “Do not despise these small beginnings, for The LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”
Deuteronomy 11:24 (CSB) “Every place the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.”
