30 September 2020. Allow My Provocation
In this time, The LORD God is allowing and even provoking with a discomfort and an unsettledness. Things that you used to find comfortable are now becoming those which almost make you feel ill.
I hear Him say, “Pay attention! Be alert! When you know it’s not right or it’s disturbing your peace, that is Me urging you to let go of it. Do not attempt to hold on to or replace it for I want to fill that void and fill that space. I AM provoking you in order for you to make space for me, for you have allowed in too much that is detrimental to your well-being. It is time for much more of ME and much less of what feels good in the comfort of the flesh.
Welcome and allow my provocation during this time so that the things that are not beneficial can go and be replaced with what I desire for you — more of ME.”
Proverbs 26:11 NIV “As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.”
Matthew 5:6 NIV “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
29 September 2020. Consecrate Your Eyes!
“I AM in a purity movement amongst the generations, to lay down un-Godly images and step into purity! I AM calling a righteous generation to rise up and declare the things of My Spirit over the things of the enemy.
Today, partner with my consecration fire, to make your eye gates firm and secure! Declare that only the things of My Spirit will settle into your minds, and reject the works of darkness. For today, I AM making a righteous painting across the eyes of My People. They will see My Glory in this hour, and see the things of My Spirit.”
Hallelujah, for a pure generation! Work with His Spirit today, be discerning, and ask The LORD: “Is this for your Kingdom, God, or against it?” Start making this a regular dialogue! Be open and willing in The LORD’s leading of your every day for He wants you to enjoy it!
Leviticus 20:7 NIV “Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am The LORD your God.”
Matthew 6:22 NIV “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.”
28 September 2020. Fling Wide Your Banner
“I AM unfurling you…”
The LORD says, “Where you have been holding on tight, I bring release. Where you have been rolled up in hiding, I bring relief. Where you are holding your breath, I say expand your chest and breathe freely. Where you have been curled up in pain, I speak comfort; where you are wound up in anxiety, I speak peace. Where you are grasping by your fingernails onto anything familiar, I come to gently pries you free. Allow Me to spread you out to reveal the banner for me that you are; allow Me to open you up to My Wind of Life.”
Unfurl : To make or become spread out from a rolled or folded state, especially in order to be open to the wind.
Suggested activation : Find a space to lie stretched out flat. Declare His lordship over your life and everything pertaining to you. Give Him permission to unfurl you.
Isaiah 54:2 NIV “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.”
Psalm 60:4 NIV “But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.”
25 September 2020. Declare My Plans of Destiny
“I AM invading the nations and collecting My inheritance!
Today, stand with Me in The Spirit and watch as I move in your nation and gather My People for this next move of glory! Partner with My Words and My Songs and Declare that your nation is My Nation, your people are My People and your land is My Land!
This is a Holy Spirit partnership where My People respond as I come in. As I knock, the door opens. As I enter the atmosphere, the walls shake. You have destiny in your nation! Declare your nation’s destiny as it is in accordance with my will and my way. So today, speak Heavenly things over your nation. Wake it up to destiny. Wake it up to Holiness! Wake it up to My Power!”
Psalm 46:10 NIV “He says, ‘Be Still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’ “
Isaiah 26:15 NIV “You have enlarged the nation, Lord; you have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for yourself; you have extended all the borders of the land.”
24 September 2020. Moving Forward!
“Persevere, Persevere, Persevere!” I hear The LORD shout over you. “I understand your weariness and your questioning of My Plan in these days. No prayer, cry or tear has been unheard by Me. I AM positioning you for VICTORY. Allow Me to pour out My sustaining manna upon you in order for Me to complete My time of Process and Refining within you. Trust that I AM protecting your every step. You need not fear anything for my hand of protection is covering you and will sustain you. I AM moving you forward, even when you feel in reverse. Trust Me again. You will see My glorious Kingdom advance, revealed and released through you, like never before!”
Nehemiah 9:19-21 NLT “But in your great mercy you did not abandon them to die in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud still led them forward by day, and the pillar of fire showed them the way through the night. You sent your good Spirit to instruct them, and you did not stop giving them manna from heaven or water for their thirst. For forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing . Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell!”
23 September 2020. Choose Humility!
There has been such weight on the word “humility.” As if The LORD is pressing the weight of His Glory onto this word in order to see who will notice. As He does this, He’s asking, “Who will respond to My Call for humility? Who will follow my example and serve his brother and sister? Who will wash the feet of others? I AM not pleased by the strife, the fighting, the push to have the right opinion, nor the division found among the Body. This division and drive to be right or first separates you; it also distracts you from Me and from who I have called you to be.
Did I not say that you would be known by your love for one another? So, My Church, My Bride, My Body, where is your love for one another? Where is your service to each other? I said that blessing will come when you follow my example. Submit and choose humility today.”
John 13:14-17 NIV “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.”
John 13:34-35 NIV “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
22 September 2020. Breakthrough!
I saw each member of the Church in their own individual glass boxes, giving their neat, packaged lives over to The LORD. The glass was enough to see in but hard to enter without being smashed.
I then heard The LORD say, “I don’t want your restricted mobility, I want you in your wide-open spaces! You have only given me a partial space in which to move, but I AM setting a new precedent among you. I AM not going to move in your confined spaces; I AM SMASHING you out of them today! You are not My Puppets! Your story is that of co-labouring with My Spirit so that I can move IN you and THROUGH you.”
I then saw The LORD smash the glass boxes with heavy rocks of breakthrough! Some people were putting cushions at the ceiling to protect their boxes but it wasn’t enough!
“I AM bringing a breakthrough so weighty you won’t be able to catch it; it will simply crash into your life with a force! Where you have limited yourself and limited me in how I can bring breakthrough, I AM crashing into your circumstances! At times, it may feel like too much to handle as things radically change in your life, but see that this is a liberation into destiny. This is why it’s called breakthrough!”
Galatians 5:1 NIV “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
Psalm 107:16 NIV “For he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron.”
21 September 2020. Look Up!
The LORD has seen you in your troubles. He has seen that you’ve become like a slave to the things of this world — worrying about your finances, worrying about work, family and health. He is inviting you, today and every day, to look up to Him! As long as you continue to worry and partner with anxiety, you will continue to be bound. Freedom lies in Him, so choose to look to Him in faith!
“Look up to Me, Child; look up to My Face and turn your eyes to Me. It is up here in the unseen realm that you will find the solutions to your earthly problems. It is when you fix your eyes on me that I will provide the heavenly resources, wisdom and ideas to change your circumstances on Earth.”
As you fix your eyes on Jesus and look up to the Heavenlies, this is where you will find true joy and freedom. Your worries will no longer be worries but testimonies of The LORD’s goodness and faithfulness in your life. It is but a choice to LOOK UP!
2 Corinthians 4:18 TPT “Because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal.”
Philippians 4:6 NIV “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
18 September 2020. Setting You Loose!
Thus says the Sovereign LORD, “I AM coming with a vengeance to rescue you out of the miry clay, the place where you have gotten stuck. I AM coming to rescue you from your sins that have allowed your feet to get stuck where they should not be. I AM coming with a vengeance to place you where you need to be in order to run this race. You must keep running this race because I will not have my harvest in this season wither away. There is a harvest of My Blessing for the world in this season, so I AM setting you loose in order that you can run with me again. Set your eyes on me, yield to me and see the harvest blessing flow.”
Psalm 40:2 NASB “He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.”
Isaiah 35:4 NASB “Say to those with anxious heart, “Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance; the recompense of God will come, but He will save you.”
17 September 2020. The Fruit of Your Lips
Many of us are more aware than usual of our mouths and what comes out of them. It’s the ‘season of the mouth’, after all! Let’s be aware of the words that come out of our mouths for The LORD says, “I AM examining the fruit of your lips. It is a time to submit your mouths to My Lordship and to say, ‘LORD God, I submit my mouth to You. Let no wicked, unclean, perverse, or unpleasing word proceed out of my mouth.’ And as you submit your words to Me, ask Me to teach you to speak words that bring forth fruit. For I do not desire that my children be silent or without speech, but I desire words that speak life into the atmosphere. I call you to speak words that carry My Power and authority; I want My Church to speak into the nations and watch their words shift and change the flow and atmosphere of your surroundings. Your words carry Power and Authority; use them wisely.”
Proverbs 13:2-3 NIV “From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things, but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence. Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.”
1 Peter 3:10-12 NIV “For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of The LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of The LORD is against those who do evil.”
16 September 2020. Come into the Light!
Many of you have found yourselves shrouded by a veil of darkness, sitting under the clouds of the past season and waiting for the next storm to come. But The LORD is saying to you now: “Come into the light! My light is ever-present and always shining. I cannot be dimmed, and I cannot be covered. You simply need to step out under your own understanding of the season and step into the clarity of my understanding. Today, I AM removing the clouds and inviting you to step up and step out. Just open your eyes to the light of my atmosphere and the glory of My Temple. It’s not far from you!”
Isaiah 60:1-2 NIV “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of The LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over its peoples, but The LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you.”
2 Samuel 22:10 NIV “He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.”
15 September 2020. Do Not Doubt
The Spirit of The LORD says, “You hear My Voice; stop doubting yourself and putting yourself down. My Sheep (children) know My Voice, so don’t doubt. Doubt only comes from one place, and that is not Me! Tell the enemy where to go in My Name and stand in the authority I have given you.
When the enemy tries to distract you, telling you lies and sowing seeds of doubt, tell him to go. Begin to believe and stand on what I AM saying to you; see your situation and your circumstances change. Watch them come in line with what I have promised. You were made for Kingdom living, so listen to what you hear Me say.”
John 10:27 NKJV “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
Hebrews 11:6 NKJV “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
14 September 2020. Come into My Presence
“I have given you a fresh, new outlook. I AM taking away the stagnant, stuck and sluggish lifestyles, and I AM releasing in you my fiery zeal for My Kingdom. I have stirred up in you My Passion once again: passion for My Holiness, for My Glory, for My Righteousness and a passion to dwell in My Presence once again. You will find Peace in My Presence and you will be changed. You will be refined in My Presence.
I AM calling you; will you come? Will you come into that place with Me once again? Will you come in and receive My Love? All this is found in my presence where I will transform you into My everlasting Love. I will transform you into My Glory.
In My Presence, visions come alive again and dreams start to become real. I AM calling you into a place where you will have encounters in My Glory Fire. Just as Moses was changed by encountering My Fire, so will you! Just as the believers in the upper room were changed by the encounter of Holy Spirit fire, so will you.
Will you come? Your prayer life will be transformed and come alive by My Glory Fire. Will you come? You will find your place and who you are in me in My Presence. I AM waiting for you to come.”
John 1:14 ESV “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Acts 2:1-4 NIV “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”
11 September 2020. Inside-Out Transformation
I saw masking tape that was wrinkled. The LORD said, “My People are starting to notice the flaws in the masking tape that they have put over their lives. They are beginning to notice that the placement of the masking tape they used to bind up cracks, fractures and broken pieces. They are beginning to notice that the placement of the tape is not flawless nor presenting the veneer they intended. My People are going to be frustrated with the flaws in the masking tape and tear it off. Not because they want healing but because their masking tape is not flawless.
But I will not allow new masking tape to be put back on. I AM stepping in as the Potter to heal my earthen vessels. I AM coming to re-shape, heal, bind up and make new. In this time, I AM coming to heal the minds and hearts of My People. There will be an inside-out transformation.
Where the world is growing weary and exhausted and it is showing up in their physical frame, the healing I AM doing in My People during this hour will so bless them with the capacity to host my glory that their faces will shine. My People will be physically set apart from the world as they radiate My Goodness, and the world will see the goodness that I do toward My People when the world sees their faces.”
Psalm 34:5 NIV “Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.”
Romans 6:4 NASB “Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.”
10 September 2020. PUSH!
I heard The Spirit of The LORD say, “PUSH!
In these days so many are resigning themselves to the inevitable; they are too willing to accept what is being said over them or what is being said will happen.
Remember that you have the mind of Christ and words of life to bring change!
Push against the status quo and don’t come into agreement with the ‘what will be will be’ mentality.
Keep pushing through! In all your conversations, look for the opportunity to push — push for a change of perspective, change of thinking, push for hope instead of defeat, push for peace not worry, push for solutions, not problems.
Push back the words that kill, steal and destroy; push forward words of life!”
Proverbs 12:18 NIV “The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
Proverbs 18:21 “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Psalm 141:3 “Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.”
9 September 2020. The Ancient of Days
“I AM the Ancient of Days. I know the end from the beginning. I have a plan! Will you yield your plans, your thoughts, your opinions, your ways, even your anxieties about my plan to ME?
I see all. I know all. Trust Me. Yield to Me. Surrender. Then ask Me what My Plans are for they are GOOD! They are necessary and beneficial. They are far beyond what you could expect or dream up.
Seek Me and My Thoughts for you, your family, your city and your nation. For it is not over; there is much to do and much to come. Lay down your thoughts and agendas, and step into what I, the Ancient of Days, am doing!”
Daniel 7:9 AMP “I kept looking until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days (God) took His seat; His garment was white as snow and the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was flames of fire; its wheels were a burning fire.”
Isaiah 46:10 NASB “Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’.”
8 September 2020. Right Resistance
“Today, I AM releasing you into the right resistance and breaking you out of the wrong resistance. You have resisted My Spirit and the work of My Heart in order to stay in comfort, but you should be resisting the temptation of passivity and stagnancy!
Recognise today that the battle is against the things of darkness! Your resistance is pointed towards the liar, not the One of truth (no matter how uncomfortable it is!). Your resistance is to the one who tries to put you in bondage, not the One who has set you completely and utterly free, even when you have become used to your chains.
My Will for you is not for you to stay at a distance, but to be close. My Desire is for us to stand together and break out of what has held you back. I want you to know that you are totally victorious in your resistance of the enemy. Don’t resist the ways of how I want to move!
Let’s get things aligned today; submit to me and resist the enemy!”
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.”
Psalm 136:24 NLT “He acted with a strong hand and powerful arm. His faithful love endures forever.”
7 September 2020. Radiate My Colours
“You are rooted in me, my Child. Your steadfastness in me, through these challenging days, has brought me great delight,” says The LORD.
“My colour palette for your life has become brighter as you have yielded to Me and not wavered. As you touch Heaven and radiate My Glory, in what seems to you as ‘dark’ days, My radiant colours of Life are being released through you to touch many lives to bring salvation, holiness, healing and freedom. Remain yielded, remain steadfast, remain in me and my Kingdom will come. My Will, will be done as it is in Heaven, within and through you.
Go now, be faithfully fruitful and radiate my glorious colours of Heaven on earth.”
Jeremiah 17:8 NLT “They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried about the long months of drought. Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit.”
4 September 2020. Fear No More!
“Beloved, now is the time to cast off the shackles of fear! I did not handcraft you in your mother’s womb for you to stay hidden in the caves of fear and trepidation! Allow My Spirit to move in you today, allow Him to bring such a wave of My powerful Love that you are set free from fear, the need to control and all other hindrances!
Now is the time to move, now is the time to speak, now is the time to be My BODY! I AM seeking those who are willing to submit and surrender to My good Work in them so that I can do My good Work through them!
Today, pray “LORD strengthen me to receive more of your incredible love so that your incredible love can set me free and then flow from me!” “
1 John 4:18 HCSB “There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love.”
Ephesians 3:14-19 ESV “For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith — that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
3 September 2020. Come Together and Push Back!
I saw us as individuals each driving snow plows. We were working together as one to clear out the area. And as we were pushing back the snow (old, ice-hard, dirty snow that had piled up into big hills), the picture changed and I saw us pushing back against the clutter, the clamour and the dirt of the enemy . I then heard The LORD say, “Come together and resist the occupation of the enemy. Take back the territory with the authority that I have given you. I have called YOU to occupy the nations; will you move in and take it?
My Word says, ‘Resist the devil and he will flee!’ Church, your job is to resist the enemy who is trying to occupy the space that I have given you. This space is your community, your city, your nations! Come together as one and push back the enemy! Take the territory of the nations for I have given you the authority to do so!”
James 4:7 NIV “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Luke 10:19 NIV “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”
2 September 2020. Changing Up!
“Throw away the old keys; they were for a time gone past. Now open your hands for MORE. I AM the God of the ‘more than’ and I AM changing the keys. Ask Me for your future and you will step into it. Take the new keys I give you and put the old ones in the fire. For I AM the God of the upgrade, I AM the God of the ‘more than’ and My Children will want for nothing.”
Make a prophetic act with some keys today and decree that you are setting aside the old ones and grabbing onto the new.
Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”
Psalm 34:9-10 “Fear The LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek The LORD lack no good thing.”
1 September 2020. Renovation
I heard The LORD speak about two words: “Plaster” and “Plasterers.” Just as in both new and renovation building, where the work looks bare for a time, the point comes when plaster is applied prior to decorating.
The LORD is releasing a hoard of ‘holy plasterers’ in His Kingdom who by The Holy Spirit will commence the work to fill in the cracks in lives, building beauty where ashes have been.
Some of this work in your life feels long overdue, but as you expose yourself to God’s perfect building plans which began before you were born, He will show you what He has been doing, from firming up foundations to being a functional building.
Expose yourself to His Word, The Bible, and come in your need, open to His Design. Wait for the Divine Plasterer to smooth you and make you blaze in white and purity. Begin to imagine colour, see His glory at work in you and praise Him for His handiwork.
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Isaiah 42:16b “I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”
Isaiah 61:3 “…and provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.”
