January 31, 2020.   The Father says today, My blessings in your life are beyond human rationale.  You are not going to be able to validate My benefits in your life by natural reasoning or in any sense earning My goodness or favor.  My blessing over you does not arise from the mental realm but rather from My heart.  My love for you drives My blessing, My goodness, and My tender loving kindness every day in your behalf.  Receive today the new mercies, yes, even the mercies that are new every single dawn over your life.

I AM a passionate Father, and I AM passionate toward you in great measure.  It is My intense love for you that moved Me to the Cross.  It is My passion for you that I carried to the throne.  From the throne of heaven, this passion moves Me still on your behalf.  The heavens are rent, and the hills will melt and flow down in response to My great love for you.  Trust what I do next.  My hand is not still in your situation, says the Father.  I AM moving in the circumstances to will and to do My good pleasure.  I AM a faithful Father, and faithfulness is the bread that I will feed you even in this hour.

January 30, 2020.   The Father says today, move in My compassion today.  Leave the company of the critics and the debaters and go out among the hurting.  Speak My Word of healing and deliverance.  Speak My Word of Truth that opens blind eyes and sets those in darkness free.  Follow the flow of My Spirit to the troubling of the waters where things change, and hearts are transformed.  This is your first and foremost responsibility and privilege.  My Hand will be upon those who are willing to go outside the camp of the uninformed religious disputers to fulfill My commission to the lost.

Make your calling and election sure, says the Father.  I haven’t called you to sit in the seat of the scornful or to gather with those who whisper and point, saying, “ah hah, ah hah…”  I have called you to better things, says the Father, things that make for peace and things that satisfy the initiatives of the kingdom.  Hide not thyself from your own flesh today.  Walk in self-disclosure and transparency knowing that those who preach themselves have their reward, but when you preach My Everlasting Kingdom, there will be ample recompense back to you in this life; and to come, life eternal.

January 29, 2020.   The Father says today, reject the path of passivity and inaction.  My Word and My kingdom are voice-activated and motion-activated.  What you do with what I have already said is MUCH more potent than what you are waiting for Me to do or say further.  What is that in your hand?  What is the last thing that you KNOW I told you to do?  You have asked, and you have cried out for My will, and I say to you this day that My will is that you make a decision!  I can work with any decision you make if you will refuse to stand in inaction and inactivity as though things might change while you stagnate on the vine!

Let the vintages of My understandings on the inside of you be poured from one vessel into another, for I have already given you those that will stand with you and come into agreement to see something done.  This is the year of as-in-heaven-so-on-earth.  I AM an Author in the heavens, and I AM an Author on the earth.  I AM a Finisher in the heavens, and I AM a Finisher in the earth.  As I AM so are you — go out and start something, and I will endorse the work of your hands.  Go out and finish — let the finishing anointing come upon you.  Refuse to leave things undone, unsaid, or undealt with for that is not My way or My character.  Act and speak and move forward and I will open the path before you to greater blessing and favor, says God.

January 28, 2020.   The Father says today, there is the sound in your life of an abundance of rain.  Get your ground ready.  Get the seed in the ground that you want to produce and get the seed out of your ground that you do not wish to bring forth in your life.  Your actions, your words, your thoughts lie within your heart, waiting to bring forth some a hundred, some thirty and some sixty-fold.  Break up your fallow ground and remove the stones and offenses that never bring forth anything good.  Do not allow unbelief or hard feelings to linger, for they will spring up and devour the good seed I have planted to bless and to put you over in life.

Disappointments will tempt you to get over into doubt, but I have given you the power to overtake disappointment and compel it to have a crop failure of its bitter harvests.  Criticisms of others and idle talk will waft in on the winds of gossip.  Let the wind of My truth come and blow them over into other pastures.  I call you good ground this day.  You already have the potential to bring forth the hundred-fold return of houses you didn’t build, vineyards you didn’t plant, and wheat that you didn’t grind.  I will take the wealth of the heathen and bring it to be your inheritance, but your responsibility is to deal with every negativity, every sin, every false thing that cumbers the ground of your life, for what those things bring forth is not your portion, says God.

January 27, 2020.    The Father says today, dream the bigger dream.  Get rid of all those bargain basement expectations.  Lift your sights to things on high and spread your wings and fly.  Your dreams are the stuff that your future is made of.  Dreams surface from deep in your spirit to give you hope, expectation, and the joy of knowing your tomorrows are securely in My hand.  The chaos around you on the world scene is not your portion or your inheritance.  My Kingdom is peace, and it is joy.  That is the bread that I feed you with today and the drink wherewith I refresh you.  Drink deeply and receive the satisfaction of your soul today and hope for the day ahead.

Go ahead and dream.  Go ahead and reach for better and best.  Go, first-class, all the way.  You won’t fly coach to heaven.  There are not budget carriers on your way to My throne.  The streets are paved with gold, and an emerald rainbow surrounds my throne.  There is nothing about heaven that justifies a poverty mentality.  I place no premium on second rate or second best.  I created you as the crowning joy of My love and My desire for fellowship and companionship.  Never put yourself down.  Never degrade yourself or others.  Live out your day, this day with the dignity and grace of one whose greatest benefactor sits on the throne, orchestrating highest heart’s desire and greatest dream fulfilled.

January 26, 2020.   The Father says today, you are not at an impasse.  Step out in faith, believing.  You are on the precipice of a miracle.  Step out. Peter got out of the boat against the advice of eleven of the most spiritual people in his life.  Step out.  This is water walking time.  Do not fear to make a mistake, for I will cause even your mistakes to prosper.  When the twelve saw Me walking on the waves toward them in the storm, Peter was the only one who considered that maybe what they saw wasn’t a spirit.  He was willing to ask, “Lord is it you?”  What about you?  Are you ready to make decisions that fly in the face of conventional wisdom?  If you want an unconventional outcome, you must be willing to make an unconventional decision.

Remember this, says the Father, without faith, it is impossible to please Me.  Asking questions, seeking confirmations, or counsel to the point that it requires no faith at all is not the path of trust.  Listen to your inner man.  Trust in what My word already says.  Seek people out who are walking in a greater anointing and a heavier favor from Heaven than you are.  Follow their faith.  I AM no respecter of persons, but I AM a respecter of faith.  If you want what they have, you must do what they have done.  There are no shortcuts in the kingdom.  All you do must originate in your knowledge of who I AM on the inside of you.  Follow the tug of My Holy Spirit, saying, “this is the way, walk in it.”  You will not be disappointed with what happens next.

January 25, 2020.   The Father says today, the spirit of heaviness is going, and the garment of joy is coming.  Your mind is sound.  Every influence, every seed that the enemy has sown into your heart and mind are excluded now from your life, says the Father.  You are strong, and you are focused.  The roots of fear and rejection that the enemy feeds on are dissipated this day by the authority of My strong right hand.  Peace is coming.  Stillness of spirit is now the backdrop of your thoughts, and you hear My voice clearly.  This is the way, says the Father, and I empower you this day to walk in it.

New life and new hope are characterizing your day.  Each morning is an expectation of renewed mercy for you.  I AM not mad at you; I AM loving you.  I AM not angry with you.  I AM not harming you.  I AM discipling you and preparing your way to walk with the shod feet of gospel truth.  The truth that I AM on the inside of you now quenches every lie the enemy has told you about yourself and your situation.  You are loved.  You are accepted.  You are empowered, and now this very day, your path turns upward to the brighter and brighter day of My favor and goodness.

January 24, 2020.   The Father says today, covetousness has no place in your life, for I AM yours and all things are Mine.  All things that the Father has given to Me I have given to you that you might walk undefiled and wholly fulfilled in your life.  The arm of the flesh is useless.  Human dependency and idolatry is defilement, so let all such things evict from your mind and your heart.  Government, family, some pie in the sky solution is not your source of supply.  I say to you this day that I AM that I AM in your life, and Jehovah-Jireh is My name.  I AM your dependency, and I AM your strength, and I AM your ever-flowing fountain of supply, compensation, and affluence in all things.

The bitter root of unforgiveness is now extracted, says the Father.  Past disappointments, shattered hopes, devastating outcomes, open your eyes.  See that I was with you even when everything around you suggested you were isolated and left to yourself.  You are not the abandoned; you are the accepted.  You are not an orphan.  I say again you are not an orphan; you are accepted in the beloved.  You are the entitled child of a loving and wealthy Father, and all your needs are met according to My riches in the glory. Believest thou this?  Then renounce all dependence on human flesh and look to Me as your Source, your steady right hand and your hope of prosperity, supernatural increase, and every good thing, says the Father.

January 23, 2020.   The Father says today, renounce anxiety and fear.  These things arise from leaning on the arm of flesh and being captive to your own sense of limitation.  I AM your strength and dependency.  I will never fail you or disappoint you.  I will never forsake you or separate Myself from you.  When you feel estranged from My presence, know that it is in your power to identify and put away from you the besetting sins and transgressions that prevent you from experiencing the joy unspeakable and full of glory paid for on the Cross in your behalf.  I AM a Holy God, and I dwell in the high and holy place with the contrite ones and those whose first response in every challenge is humility before Me.

Unclench your hands and unclench your teeth, says the Father, for I give My beloved rest and peace.  The servant of God must not strive, for giving in to stress separates you from the destiny I have set before you that you might enter in.  Enter into rest. Receive the yoke easy and the burden light.  Beware the religious mentality that cries out “burden of the Lord,” the “burden of the Lord,” for I say to you and prophesy into your life that I have lifted off of you the heavy burden and brought you into the path of light that brings you to liberty and freedom from every false weight and every guilty charge, says the Father.

January 22, 2020.   The Father says today, you are moving into the atonement.  You are standing now in a state of at-one-ness with Me in the glory.  Receive the washing of the crimson flow abluted at Calvary and pouring fresh into your heart, your spirit, and every aspect of your life and your person.  Fear cannot hold you now.  Death is an impotent force against you, for My irreducible life is in you, and My love is moving in ascension over all
