30 November 2023. Called to Stand
Your battle-cry has come – Stand!
Stand on the promises of God. Stand on His Word. Stand on Faith that God will move. For this is a moment of pressing; a time of unusual pressure but you are called to stand in this season.
Lay all the pieces of your life on the altar of God and wait for the Fire of The LORD to fall on your heart (Psalm 5:3-8). Follow the Biblical map God has given you to wear the armour of God which contains truth, righteousness, and peace. Do everything He has called you to do and at the end of all this, stand. For though the devil may scheme, The LORD has already won.
Activation : Ask God to show you what each piece of His armour looks like, as you put it on. What type of material is used? What colours? What decorations? How was your amour made by God especially for you? Write down what The LORD shows or tells you and make it a regular practice to put on the armour of God and stand.
Ephesians 6:13 (NIV) “Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”
29 November 2023. Take it Back
“Who can I call upon in this hour?
Who is willing to walk into the fire with Me?
Who is willing to go into the enemy’s camp and bring back My children?
I AM seeks true followers.
I AM seeks the true disciples of Yeshua.
I AM does not wish for those who provide only lip service.
I AM seeks the righteous and the devout.
I AM calls upon His Bride, His Church.
Come unto Me in this hour.
I AM calling the intercessors, the warriors, the worshippers to pick up your swords and shields for we are at war!
Call upon My Holy Spirit for He gives strength to the weak and sustenance to your bones.
Listen closely My children for the Battle Cry is Nigh!
We are bringing back what the enemy has stolen!”
Activation : Consider if Jesus returned today for you, are you ready to go with Him? Have you been sharing this truth with those in your inner circles, at work, in your neighbourhood, or schools? Ask The Holy Spirit to help you be ready and to be filled with a true desire to battle by His side for lost souls!
Matthew 11:12 (ESV) “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.”
Psalm 118:5-6 KJV “I called upon The LORD in distress: The LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”
28 November 2023. The Cycle Breaks
“Have you felt weary? Distracted? Uncertain of your identity? Demonic tactics are old and predictable – these are the enemy’s main strategies to wear out the saints.
Like the constant drip of water hollowing out unseen caves in previously whole limestone, so the enemy carves out emptiness in people through relentless bombardment of loneliness and exhaustion. But take heart, for I break these cycles and fill them with My Love!
Find My Heart in My Word. Take time to feast upon the bounty of scripture, shoring up empty spaces with the firm foundation of Jesus. Dance with me and sing praises. Serve the church with faith in action – feed people, compliment strangers, love your neighbour in a thousand practical ways. Watch emptiness disappear in the flood of My Love.
Are you ready to break the enemy’s cycles?
Pray this over yourself: LORD, I bless Your holy name. I’m so thankful You saved me and I am adopted into Your family. Nothing can ever separate me from Your love. I ask You LORD to fill the deep spaces in my heart and soul, to be ever present in my mind and Your praises always on my lips. I break agreement with any enemy cycles in the name of Jesus. Show me Father how I may love and serve in my daily life, and how to live in your unforced rhythms of love. Amen”
Romans 8:38 (ESV) “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. “
Psalm 32:8-9 (TPT) “I hear The LORD saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!”
27 November 2023. Cut the Ties
“It is time, children, to cut the ties that bind you to the past. See? I AM doing a new thing! You cannot move into the new by dwelling on the past, or by fixing your gaze on what has come and gone. Celebrate what has been for the joy that it brought and forgive where needed, but do not carry into the new anything that is superfluous.
You must be free to move; to dance, to laugh, to sing and praise with joy.
To rise up higher you must be willing to surrender all that will not serve my purposes in the days ahead.”
Activation : Ask Holy Spirit to reveal to you any “ties” that would hold you back from God’s bigger purposes. These could be things in the physical and spirit. This could be unrealised prejudices you hold or even lies you believe about yourself. If you are willing, ask Holy Spirit to lead you through a process of cutting these ties.
Psalm 45:10-11 (TPT) “Now listen, daughter, pay attention, and forget about your past. Put behind you every attachment to the familiar, even those who once were close to you! For your royal Bridegroom is ravished by your beautiful brightness. Bow in reverence before him, for he is your Lord!”
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) “Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.”
24 November 2023. Colour
“My children: Come to Me in this time to allow Me to colour your hearts with the colours and vibrance of heaven! For your heart is the wellspring of life which should reflect the fullness of My splendour. Too often, though, you have preferred heart neutral colours that blended with your surroundings reflecting opinions, fears and doubts rather than my life. But in these days, you need to be fully armed with the stunning colours of heaven in all you think, do and say. So bring your hearts to Me to give up the neutral and allow Me to weaponise you with heaven’s colours. Let everything flowing from you be coloured by Me so your words and actions become defined, full of vibrant truth and power — not blending into the background but effecting change. Haven’t you longed to see miracles in your life? Then give me your heart to move from neutral to glory and impact!”
Activation : Pause for a moment and bring God your heart. Ask Him to show you its colours. If you can see dull colours where you may have partnered with compromise to avoid challenge, ask His forgiveness. Ask Him in what areas of life He wants to bring colour to your heart? What colours? How will this change you? Watch what He does as you welcome His touch.
Revelation 4:2-3 (NLT) “And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it.The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones — like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow.”
Habakkuk 3:3-4 (NLT) “I see God moving across the deserts from Edom, the Holy One coming from Mount Paran. His brilliant splendor fills the heavens, and the earth is filled with his praise. His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from his hands, where his awesome power is hidden.”
23 November 2023. Rags or Riches?
“My Child, what do your words and actions clothe people with? Rags or Riches?
In Acts, Lydia is described as a worshiper of God, who responded immediately to the Gospel of Peace. She was a trader in the same kind of purple cloth that adorned the Temple, High Priests, Dignitaries and Royalty. Lydia knew how to dress people with Honor and Authority! When she became a believer, her response was to use this gift for my kingdom and clothe people with their God-given identity. Consequently, guests left her presence literally looking and feeling like Royalty! Through Lydia’s hospitality, Paul and his companions had a base from which to evangelise and the early church believers had a regular meeting place. As a result, the Gospel spread throughout the whole region! Now that’s fruit!
So today, Beloved, consider the impact of your words and actions on those around you. Choose to dress people up, not dress them down. Be a person who sees people through my eyes not the enemies lies, and clothe them in their God-given identity!”
Activation : Take a moment and ask The Holy Spirit to show you if there is anything you need to change in order to bring your words and actions in line with God’s perspective of people. Then ask him if there is a person or group of people that he would like you to particularly spend time with and also how he would like you to encourage them. Arrange a meeting!
Ephesians 4:29 (NIV) “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
Acts 16:14-15 (AMP) “A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a dealer in purple fabric, who was [already] a worshipper of God, listened to us; and The LORD opened her heart to pay attention and to respond to the things said by Paul. And when she was baptised, along with her household, she pleaded with us saying, “If you have judged me and decided that I am faithful to The LORD [true believer], come to my house and stay.” And she persuaded us.”
22 November 2023. A Developing Joy
“I AM Joy, the source of all joy, just as I AM Love and Peace and Hope. For The Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” Romans 14:17 ESV
“Allow My Spirit to conquer you and liberate you from death and lack. Tell Me all, not just as a servant — but as a friend, for My Love is already poured out for you and never ends. Full lasting joy only comes from Me, so keep on setting aside your soul with its demands, consciously putting it down lower than Me, and allow My Spirit to bubble up in you.
Ask Me for demonstrations of My Peace and Joy. Tune in your heart to meet with Me as your strong brother. Step closer, restfully meditating that you are My Bride and My Lover. I know you intimately and My Heart is for you to know so many aspects of My Nature, as well as My Joy. Keep coming closer, I will not walk away.”
Activation : Ask God what type of intimacy you have with Him. Ask Him how to grow in this area that your joy may be strong, in all circumstances. Imagine feeling your joy reaching to another level by coming into God’s Presence. Read Song of Songs chapter one verses 1 to 4 and soak up His utter delight in you.
Psalm 16:11 (ESV) “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures for evermore.”
Revelation 3:20-21 (MSG) “Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I’ll come right in and sit down to supper with you. Conquerors will sit alongside me at the head table, just as I, having conquered, took the place of honour at the side of my Father. That’s my gift to the conquerors!”
21 November 2023. Let Me Lead You
“Sons and daughters: In this season, I require you to ask for My Strategies. The strategies I give you may go against the general ideas and consensus of social acceptability but My Thoughts and ways are to give you a hope and a future, to establish My Kingdom. Let Me lead you!
I will guide you, observing each step you take, knowing your past, present, and future. Do not be fearful, My child. Boldly walk in the direction of My Guidance. Let your prayers — over your life, the lives of others, cities and nations — align themselves with the instruction of my guidance. In doing so, your prayers will partner with the prayers of others seeking My Will.”
Activation : Spend some time praying in the Spirit, asking Jesus to show you how he is praying for you, your neighbours, and your nation today. Spend some time partnering with him in these prayers.
Hebrews 7:24-25 (TPT) “But Jesus permanently holds his priestly office, since he lives forever and will never have a successor! So he is able to save fully from now throughout eternity, everyone who comes to God through him, because he lives to pray continually for them.”
Jeremiah 33:2-3 (MSG) “This is God’s Message, the God who made earth, made it livable and lasting, known everywhere as God: ‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvellous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.’”
20 November 2023. Enlist
“Enlist! Enlist! Enlist!,” says The LORD!
“These are the days when I AM calling My People to enlist in My Army, ready for orders. Just as the clock of heaven has changed with the season, so My Voice is calling to my people to offer themselves for active service. You may say, “But we weren’t expecting to be called up just now. It disrupts other things in our lives.”
But I say to you, what value is your life not lived in rhythm with Me according to My Purposes? There is nothing better to do than live in union with Me doing the tasks I give you. Everything else has no eternal value. So, heed my invitation to make the widest space possible available to Me in your heart. Surprise Me with your yieldedness! Delight Me with your eagerness! For in these days, My Eyes are moving over the earth to see the hearts offered on these terms saying, “We are available LORD — heaven can have free rein in our lives”.
Don’t be afraid. Do I not provide you with everything you need for battle just as I did for David again and again? Will you not see my movement on the earth unto harvest and glory as you offer yourself? Why would you settle for less? Come and let me release the living wild heart of heaven in you which will propel you into action. The days ahead are glorious so come!”
Activation : Take time with The LORD to respond. Can you hear His call to enlist again in His army for the new season? Ask The Holy Spirit to show you if you may be holding back. If so, why? Consider God’s promise to fully equip you for whatever may be ahead. Hand over any fear or hesitation you may be feeling to Him. Ask Him to show you what your wide open heart offered to Him looks like. Perhaps you sense it? End with a prayer that He helps you delight in Him with your eagerness. Let His love and peace enfold you.
Proverbs 8:1-8 (NASB) “Does not wisdom call, And understanding raise her voice? On top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, she takes her stand; beside the gates, at the opening to the city, at the entrance of the doors, she cries out: “To you, people, I call, and my voice is to mankind. You naive ones, understand prudence; and, you fools, understand wisdom! Listen, for I will speak noble things; And the opening of my lips will reveal right things. For my mouth will proclaim truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverted in them.”
Haggai 1:3-8 (NLT) “Then The LORD sent this message through the prophet Haggai: “Why are you living in luxurious houses while my house lies in ruins? This is what The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: Look at what’s happening to you! You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes! “This is what The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: Look at what’s happening to you! Now go up into the hills, bring down timber, and rebuild my house. Then I will take pleasure in it and be honored, says The LORD.”
17 November 2023. Dance For Joy
“Glorious Bride, get ready to dance! In the midst of heaviness, burdens and frightening news, I have given you a remedy from the up-side-down Kingdom:
Exuberant joy! A childlike spirit! Laughter and dancing!
The enemy doesn’t know how to combat joy in you. So I AM inviting you now to let your hair down and join the heavenly party! Laugh out loud! Raise your arms and leap for joy. It is truly medicine for the soul.
You have to be intentional about this. It will require losing your dignity for a moment. But if you participate, the effects will be remarkable. Soul wounds will heal. Your mind will be invigorated.
New energy will flow through your body. The atmosphere around you will transform and angels will join in with the joyful noise.
When you come in the opposite spirit, walls crumble, barriers lift, and strongholds break. When Satan tells you to be quiet, shout! When he whispers lies in your ear, laugh right back at him. Make this your new normal, an everyday deal.
Activation: As a prophetic act, “remove” the garment of heaviness off your body. Now, replace it with a garment of praise. If you have some fabric you can use it to put over your shoulders as an act of clothing yourself with this new mantle. Ask the Father to fill you with joy as you sweep the garment of praise around you.
Then, take it a step further. Put on some music and leap for joy and express jubilant victory with everything inside of you!”
Proverbs 17:22 (NIV) “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
Psalm 30:11-12 (MSG) “You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; you ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers. I’m about to burst with song; I can’t keep quiet about you. GOD, my God, I can’t thank you enough.”
16 November 2023. A Cutting Edge
“When times are difficult, it is tempting to think that I have left you and that I AM not working for your good. The truth is, I will never leave you and I will perfect that which concerns you.
There may be occasions when you feel the journey you are on is too hard and you question My Ways. You need to know that, within My Kingdom, there are tasks that require a greater level of skill and training. This is similar to requiring a neurosurgeon to operate on the brain – no one less skilled will do!
Today, Beloved, I want you to be encouraged that in times of difficulty, I AM increasing your level of accuracy and skill for all I have for you. This way you will not struggle when the need for your expertise arises, but instead, you will mount up on wings like eagles, and soar in your God-given purpose!”
Activation : Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you areas of your life where he has trained you in the past for particular tasks. Take a moment to reflect on how this training has helped you and thank Him for all He has done. Then ask Him to bring to mind a current area that He is helping you to grow in. Ask Him to remove any discouragement and to help you see your situation through His eyes. You may want to write or draw what he shows to you and share it with a friend, so they can pray with you and remind you of all that God is doing.
Psalms 138:8 (AMPC) “The LORD will perfect that which concerns me . . . “
Psalms 144:1 (NIV) “Praise be to The LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield in whom I take refuge.”
15 November 2023. In and Out of Time
“Just like with David who was already called into his place but was waiting for the fruition of that call, I AM calling those hidden ones into the fullness of their call in the midst of battle. Just like with Saul who was out of time but not yet removed from his place, I AM using this season of conflict as a way of removing those from their places who are out of time.
The currencies that will bring success at this time are the currencies of faith and honour. Just like David, I AM looking for people who see the situation with eyes of faith and who obediently follow my direction in the midst of battle. The greatest test however — just like David — is whether you will honour those in authority even when they mistreat you, reject you, or malign what you are doing. David treated Saul with great honour, dignity, kindness and respect growing his own stature and character.
Step up My hidden Ones and take your places! Be shrewd and wise; make great decisions as you step into My Fullness.”
Activation : Read through 1 Samuel 24 considering David and Saul’s interactions. How can you bless and honour those in leadership even if they have not treated you well? How can you pray for their blessing even if their actions or words are a curse to you? What an honour it is to be able to be like Jesus and love and honour in every situation so that we might display His character and likeness.
Matthew 5:44-45 (ESV) “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 10:16 (NIV) “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”
1 Timothy 2:1-2 (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.”
14 November 2023. Drink of Me
“By Beloved, I AM The Holy Spirit. I AM with you and live within you. I AM not just meant to be an experience at church. Don’t be tempted to use me like a water bottle, there for a sip when you are most in need, or as a hot water bottle that you hold on to only when you seek comfort and warmth. I AM so much more than this!
I AM your Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener and the Spirit of Truth. I AM a well of water springing up within you that leads you, and those you share me with, to eternal life.
Today, spend time with Me and I will fill you afresh.
Do not just scratch the surface but dig deep and drink fully of My Presence. Allow Me to refresh you from the inside out. Engage completely with all I have for you by keeping your focus on me moment by moment. For some, you will experience healing, others, divine strategies and still others, revelation. I have so much I want to share with you if you will fully partner with me! I AM reaching out to you to give you more of myself. Will you accept my gift?”
Activation : A prayer to pray: Dear Holy Spirit, thank you for the gift of yourself. I am so sorry for the times I have not engaged with you fully and operated in my own strength, not yours. I repent of the times I held back and did not share you with others. Please would you come now and fill me anew. Will you fill the well inside of me completely with your life giving presence. Teach me how to be aware of you every moment of every day. I choose now to accept you fully. Amen
Now take a moment to just receive from Holy Spirit all he has for you. Then take a pen & paper with you throughout your day and write down whatever The Holy Spirit shows you.
John 14:16-17 (AMP) “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper [Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor – Counselor, Strengthener, Standby], to be with you forever – the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He [the Holy Spirit] remains with you continually and will be in you.”
John 4:14 (NIV) “. . . but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
13 November 2023. Stay In The Game
“My Now is not a time to get side-tracked. At times you have looked at other options as you thought that it would bring deeper satisfaction, or that you would find a more fulfilling purpose. Listen, My dear Child, don’t be tempted to walk over to the side line because you think something better is happening there.
That’s not where the real game is. Remain on the playing field, even when the game is on pause. Wait until you hear Me say, “Go!”
This season is a crucial time of selecting the right players and staying submitted to the coach. Use the time well so you can be fully equipped and get the stamina needed for the main event.
I AM equipping you with resilience right now. This resilience will help you to recover quickly from difficulties. You will withstand temptations. You will spring back into shape in a brief moment whereas before it would take days and weeks. You will notice how instead of retaliating you are walking in complete peace.
In this hour you will experience increased capacity on all levels. In the waiting, you will sense My steadfast hand and favour upon you.”
Activation : Reflect with the Holy Spirit if anything is trying to pull you away from your true purpose right now. Are there distractions that pull you away because they seem more interesting? Ask The LORD for discernment so you will not react to the enemy’s proposals, but instead, hear God’s Voice more accurately and remain in the area where He has placed you.
Hebrews 10:36 (NIV) “You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”
Proverbs 4:26 (NIV) “Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.”
1 Timothy 4:8 (ESV) “. . . for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”
10 November 2023. Position Yourself
“My children, I know there are times when you literally feel as if you are walking through the valley of the shadow of death. As a result, you have felt nervous, shaky and overwhelmed. Know that I see, I sense, and I understand what you are going through. Come to Me, My Sons and Daughters and enter into My Peace. My Presence will calm your anxiety and comfort your soul. Hear My Voice as I speak words of assurance over you.
2 Kings 18-19 records the events in the life of Hezekiah, King of Judah. The scripture states that no king before or after, was like him. He served Me, he removed the statues and idols of the false gods. He fasted and obeyed Me; I was with him and made him successful. He refused to follow or serve the Assyrian king. He successfully fought against and defeated the Philistines. However, when the Sennacherib, king of Assyria sent his chief commander to Jerusalem to insight fear into Hezekiah and the people of Judah, the King came to Me, he also sent some of his leaders to speak to the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah shared My Heart with Hezekiah by telling him not to be fearful. Even still on receiving another threat in the form of a letter from the Sennacherib, the King of Judah laid it out before Me and asked Me to rescue him from the power of the Assyrians. I delivered King Hezekiah and his people from the threat of slavery and destruction.
If you turn to Me as the God who created the heavens and the earth, the enthroned one who delivers. As you lay your situation before Me, I will rescue you as I rescued Hezekiah and his people. I will take you to a place of safety and solution.”
Activation : Position yourself in The LORD’s safety by turning to him and laying your problem or the problem of your neighbour before him. Recognise who The LORD is to you – your rescuer, protector, helper and deliverer. Worship The LORD in that aspect of his character and ask for his help.
2 Kings 19:15-16 (NLT) “And Hezekiah prayed this prayer before The LORD: “O Lord, God of Israel, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth. Bend down, O Lord, and listen! Open your eyes, O Lord, and see! Listen to Sennacherib’s words of defiance against the living God.”
2 Kings 19:19 (NLT) “Now, O Lord our God, rescue us from his power; then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you alone, O Lord, are God.”
Proverbs 18:10 (NLT) “The name of The LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.”
9 November 2023. Reconnect
“When you gave your life to Me, I The Holy Spirit came to live in you, to dwell with you and to be your helper. Some of you forget that I AM indwelling.
You are always connected to me and I AM ever present in your lives. Do not cast Me aside for I do not distance Myself from you. I do not disconnect.
I do not remove My Voice from you or make myself absent in your presence when you are being led by Me. For some of you it feels like we live in the same house but make our dwelling places in different rooms, together but with some separation. I AM asking you to come closer, to live with me, to dwell with Me.
I want to be part of every aspect of your life with no places of disconnection. Will you open up all areas of your life to Me?
Will you abide in Me? Will you cohabitate with Me in ways we have never experienced one another before?
I AM asking you to come up higher in this season — but first I ask you to dwell with Me in My Presence at all times.”
Activation : Choose to be transparent and honest not only with The Holy Spirit in these moments but also with yourself. Take some time to reflect on what he has brought to mind as you have been reading the word and hearing his desire to dwell in closer proximity to you. Lean in and listen to him as he shares with you the things he wants from you in this. Be obedient and choose to say yes to whatever he asks you to do. Ask him to help you be more aware of his presence daily and to learn to live in this new place of awareness.
You are a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit, He lives in you, you are interconnected, interwoven and together in all aspects of your life, there is no disconnection from him, He is always close, always near, and always with you.
John 14:15-17 (ESV) “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”
8 November 2023. Closer than Close
“Though storms may rage around you, though waters may rise against you, though people may scorn and misunderstand you….. still, I AM closer than your skin, deeper than your dreams, and found within your heartbeat.
I AM calling you to deeper levels of intimacy than you have ever known before.
The times of trial and testing in previous seasons have been a forerunner for now — for this time when your lifeline will be your proximity to Me.
You have chosen to press further into Me, even though the easier road would have been to distance yourself. You have prioritised time spent with Me, listening to My Voice and discerning My Will.
I have met you in those desperate moments when your heart cried out.
I have met you, I have formed you, I have shaped you, and I have prepared you for the season to come.
In this season, you will need to know me, closer than close. Our intimacy will be your greatest weapon. Our knowing will be your deepest joy. Our union will be the strength that I have known that you will need.
So fold yourself beneath My Wings, take refuge and comfort here.
Rest, recover, recharge and renew. For when you emerge, your confidence in me will be beyond anything you dreamed. Your Faith will rise to meet the challenges that you face head on — safe within the knowledge that you are held, and covered. Because I AM, closer than close.”
Activation : Take some time now to assess your proximity to Jesus. Ask Him to show you what your union with him looks like.
Pray – ask Him to take you into deeper levels of intimacy with Him; ask Him to remove any barriers that you are placing in the way so you can be entirely free in your union with Him. Ask Him to show you what it means to be folded beneath His Wings. Bring to Him the storms that are currently raging in your life, from this place of intimacy. Ask Him to give you the strategies and the Faith that you need to overcome them.
Colossians 2:10 (NLT) “So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.”
Psalm 61:1-5 (NIV) “Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.”
7 November 2023. Out of the Cave
“Today The LORD says: “You come to Me, for you want Me, and you seek me with all your heart. Go to others, also seeking the best for them with all your heart. Share the parts of me that you know well, My forgiveness, My strength at difficult times, My challenge, My fear, My wisdom,My call.
When you are tired, you come to Me. When you are weary, you come to Me. When you are challenged, you come to Me. When you are ill, you come to Me. Of course! For you know the depth of My love for you.
You have heard about the harvest of souls, the harvest of the prodigals. I say to you again, grow as I stretch you, do not resist. Be emboldened in the Spirit in leading others and praying for them, and asking for miracles, signs, and wonders to come from the heavens.
Some are hiding wickedness in their caves, and others hide from the enemy of their souls. I see everything, including all that you yield to me, and all that you withhold. Let your cry be ‘Yes Lord,anywhere and anytime for you’. What is the cost? It is to come out of your cave. I call you to be unselfish with all that I have given you. See that I have provided you with all you need for the journey.
Bring others out of their caves through your life, through your influence, and your testimony, particularly how you have held on to me in desperate times. Keep standing solid on my foundation, and do not withhold blessing from others. For I provide an abundance of life which is not diminished by sharing it. Be the person with decisive cave-opening words and joyous encouragement for others.
Make Me your hiding place rather than a cold cave. I give you what you need to be this person in your heart, and the challenge is for now, even in your weakness. Extol Me as your LORD, not hiding in a cave, but in your mouth and your actions proving Me THE Saviour and LORD for you and for others. Do not forget who you are, a mighty servant of Almighty God.”
Isaiah 2:19 (ESV) “And people shall enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from before the terror of The LORD, and from the splendour of His majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.”
1 Kings 19:12-13 (ESV) “And after the earthquake a fire, but The LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him and said, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Psalm 31:1-2 (ESV) “In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! Incline your ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!”
6 November 2023. Purified Ones
“This is a call for the burning ones to stand up and to fight, taking back enemy ground that is rightfully mine. I AM asking you to rise up with purified hearts and intentions. In this season I AM rising up and taking back what is mine!
I want to take back every part of your heart that has been turned from me and bring it back to the place of yearning for Me as you turn to me to meet every need. I AM The Way, The Truth, and The Life and where there have been dead places in you, I come to bring them back to life.
I AM reviving, healing, and purifying hearts in this season. I AM asking you to allow my purification process to take place in your heart through the testing and challenges of this season. I want all of your attention and all of your intentions to be fixed and focused on me and my will in this season. No divided heart will take a rightful place in my kingdom; I AM asking for your sole focus to be on Me.
I AM calling forth the purified ones!
Allow yourself to be purified of all that has stolen your attention from me and to be solely focused on Me and My Purposes in this time.”
Activation : Ask God to personally work with you as a response to this word to bring to mind the places where your focus is stolen and things vie for your attention. Allow him to show you the purification process you have been in and all that he is bringing out of this season.
Spend time decreeing and declaring for those around you as this is not a time to be solely introspective but a time to be extrospective and aware of those around us. Declare out loud:
I declare that there will be unity where the enemy has sought to cause division within relationships, families and friendships.
I declare that all the places of distraction will be turned to places of focus. I decree that any places where there has been death there will be life. I declare that God will bring purification to the hearts of those who yield to him in this season.
Exodus 34:14 (ESV) “For you shall worship no other God, for The LORD, Who’s name is jealous, is a jealous God.”
Psalm 51:10 (ESV) “Create In me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
3 November 2023. See as I See
“I AM calling you to see in The Spirit. To see things as I see them. To see people as I see them. My Kingdom is not made of bricks and mortar, but of living stones for My Focus is on raising up Sons and Daughters. To meaningfully serve and lead in My Kingdom, is to pour yourself out for others and see them raised into fullness in Me.
To be about the business of My Kingdom is to have your eyes and ears focused on heaven. See things as I see them and you will know what I AM doing. When you know what I AM doing you can partner with Me.
Do not be concerned with any worldly measurement of success for yourself or for those around you. Learn to see people as I see them. Be attuned to my voice and obedient to My directing. Then you can share in My great Joy!”
Activation : Think about the situation you are in that involves other people. Ask The LORD to show you how He sees those people. Ask Him to direct your prayers for them. If the answering of those prayers involves your own obedience in a particular aspect, be obedient to His directing.
1 Peter 2:5 (NIV) “..you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
Philippians 2:17 (ESV) “Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.”
1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV) “But The LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but The LORD looks at the heart.””
2 November 2023. I AM Coming for My Bride
“See Me with eyes of fire — I AM coming for My Bride. This is a call to the burning ones, those burning with desire for the kingdom, those whose passionate hearts burn and yearn for me. Those with a purified heart who have known the refiners fire and are ready to stand for Me and Me alone with no hidden agenda, just a heart and life poured out fully for Me.
I AM calling the generals to now stand; to step up into the kingdom authority I have for them. My battleground does not look like those of the world and neither do My Weapons. I AM releasing strategies and battle cries to you even now. I AM equipping you all to stand with Me and to fight. Do you hear the sound of war in the atmosphere? Do you hear the call in the spirit urging you to burn with My Fire and to stand with Me and fight? Expect Angel visitations, expect wild heavenly encounters, expect to be given fresh anointing, new strategies and the determination needed to stand with Me.
This is not a call to be passive but is a call to arms. This is not a call to rest but a call to stand with Me and hold fast. The thickness of battle is amidst you but I ask you to stand with Me, seek My face and strategize with Me to take the ground and territory that is ours in this season. I will strengthen and equip you with all that you need in this time. I want no stone left unturned and no ground left unclaimed. It is time to stand and to fight.”
Activation : Standing together and fighting is not a solo mission and takes us to stand, to pray, to worship, to intercede and stand in the gap for others. Take time to pray and intercede for the remnant to rise up, the generals to be positioned as God would call them to be, for there to be unity in the army of God, and to release clarity and discernment to know the God centred strategies in these times.
Read Ephesians 6:10-20 out loud then read it again looking into the spirit realm asking the Holy Spirit to show you the armour he has given you, the weapons he is equipping you with, and putting on your armour according to the scripture.
Psalm 24:7-10 (NIV) “Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty – he is the King of glory.”
1 November 2023. Welcome
“Be prepared for Me to increase your territory. I AM stretching the pegs of your tent far apart! I AM giving you increased authority, and I AM inviting you to prepare for it now. You are living in my shelter, ruling over my territory with Me. See that in this new season I AM standing beside you, welcoming the nations into My Shelter. I AM inviting you to take up your authority and welcome them with Me!
Every plan starts with desire My Beloved, and now I AM inviting you to prepare for this by going through the desires in your heart with Me. Let’s see what is there, and what is missing.
I love you. I gave myself up for you. And I want to share with you in this moment my fiery love . I long to gather all the nations into my house. Do you desire that to?
Then come, and take this shepherd’s rod and staff of authority to welcome those I send to you, providing them with My Shelter.”
Activation : To welcome the people into the shelter we must dwell in it first! Ask God to show you any anxiety, fear, doubt or uncertainty and take shelter in Him for those issues now. Then go through the desires in your heart and throw out any that are getting in the way of God’s love, especially, in this season of judgements and divisions. Now, expand your tent pegs! It is time to embrace the territorial authority God has given you. Decree your home, work and every interaction is for God and that any work of Satan is bound! Pray that the people around you will come into God’s shelter asking that He will bring the harvest to you, and you will be prepared to point them to Jesus.
Psalm 62:2 (BSB) “He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.”
Psalm 91:1 (NLT) “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the almighty.”
Isaiah 54:2 (NLT) “Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense!”
