DECEMBER 2022

December 31, 2022: Let go of the past with both its failures and successes. You are embarking on a new season, so it is time to reset. Remember My promises and go forth in faith and hope. Set yourself to do the best you can with what you have and what you have been given to do. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:8 And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.

December 30, 2022: There are times when you feel invisible, unappreciated, and uncared for. But, know that what really matters is that I not only see you but appreciate and care for you. My love for you is unrivaled. Find your worth and comfort in Me. Rise up in that realization and take your rightful position, says the Lord. 1 John 4:8-10 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

December 29, 2022: When you have a generous heart, you will be blessed beyond measure. Develop a generous spirit and a forgiving attitude towards others and you will prosper. Selfishness and being self-centered will work against prosperity and blessing. It is a matter of your will and what you are willing to do that will determine your future. Luke 6:38 Give and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

December 28, 2022: This is not a time for you to dump down in self-pity. You have come this far, but you must stay strong and trust Me to establish you in the place I have chosen for you, both spiritually and naturally. Silence your fears and be calm and unwavering. You are My own special treasure. Deuteronomy 7:6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.

December 27, 2022: Set a watch for a lying spirit to bring condemnation. This is in an effort to stir up memories of falling short of expectations. But, you have been set free. You no longer belong to the world; you belong to Me, and I have not condemned you. Put to rest those nagging thoughts of unworthiness, and take your rightful place in the Spirit. Romans 8:1 There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

December 26, 2022: Quiet your soul, and I will give you a glimpse into My will for you in the future. It will only be an outline, but it will ease your mind about what is ahead of you. Never forget that I have a plan and a purpose for your life that cannot be denied. Put your hope in Me. Psalm 43:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.

December 25, 2022: Do not forget that you are a pilgrim on a journey through a temporary life on your way to eternity. Determine to make the most of the time you have by giving glory to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Live every day as though is was your last. Live honorably, love unconditionally, and do no harm. 1 Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

December 24, 2022: Issues that have been a problem in the past are coming up for review. This is a time when you can effectively resolve these issues, but you must stay in the realm of righteousness. Make sure your heart is in the right place and that resentment and bitterness are not driving you. Remember to love one another and be kind. Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

December 23, 2022: Look beyond yourself to see your potential in Me. Refuse to get stuck in the misery of your flesh, and find the glory of walking and living in the Spirit. Rise up and take your rightful place in the spiritual realm. It is not hard to do. Set your heart and desire on finding Me and becoming one with Me, says the Lord. Jeremiah 29:12-14 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

December 22, 2022: Beloved, I have empowered you to do all that I have set before you. Do not be afraid to depart from your comfort zone, and get ready for a spiritual growth spurt as you set your heart to yield to the moving of My Spirit. Your consecration and dedication have conditioned you to be wholly devoted to Me. You will be rewarded. Psalm 56:3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

December 21, 2022: You, who have worked so hard to attain your goal, will now enjoy a short season of victory before you press on. Now you must maintain what you have gained and move forward in strength and purpose. I will give you eyes to see and ears to hear, but it will not be physical sight or hearing. You will see and hear spiritually and perceive with your heart when you are quiet. Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

December 20, 2022: Come into My presence, and allow Me to put your heart at ease. You have worried and fussed about many things, but it is time to put to rest those things that concern you. I, the Lord, am greater than your heart. Trust that you are in My hands and that I will bring you through to completion. 1 John 3:18-20 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

December 19, 2022: To those who feel abandoned, alone and lonely: You are not alone. You have Me, says the Lord, and I will never leave you nor forsake you. Rise above what appears to be true in the natural realm and access spiritual truth. Everything in the world will pass away, but all things in spirit will be forever. Set your heart on that which is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

December 18, 2022: There is no sense in dwelling on the past, on what has been done or has not been done. Focus now on where you are spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically to see what you need to do to enhance your position and condition to align with My will and purposes. Ask for wisdom, and I will most certainly give it. Ask for direction, and I will show you the way. Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.

December 17, 2022: It does not take much effort to be kind. It is a choice in your interactions with others. And, that choice will become a habit whether you are kind, indifferent, or haughty and rude. It is My will for you to treat everyone as you wish to be treated. You will reap what you sow. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

December 16, 2022: Chaos abounds in the world, but you do not belong to the world. You belong to Me, and I have made a way for you to live in peace regardless of what is happening around you. Find that place of serenity and camp out there. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

December 15, 2022: Be diligent to accomplish what I have set before you to do. I have given you the ability, but you must fight through your misgivings and fear. Know that the enemy will do what he can to keep you from divine purpose. Fight through and gain the victory. 1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

December 14, 2022: Whether you know it or not, I am preparing you for the days ahead. Some of the preparation is not what you would expect or welcome, but it is what you need. Be patient and persevere so that My work in you will be complete. The end result will be greater strength and endurance. James 1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. December 13, 2022: There are things you can do something about and things you cannot. So, do what you can when you can, and leave the rest to Me. For some this will be a leap of faith, but it is well worth the leap. You will be strengthened spiritually every time you trust Me with your problems and issues. Only believe. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

December 12, 2022: Refuse to allow your fears to run away with you. This is a time when you must stay calm and have faith that I will lead you out of the darkness of your soul. Your strength is in Me always. Do not forget that I am your help in troubled times. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

December 11, 2022: You have achieved a level of overcoming in some areas. Now, you must find a way to maintain by refusing to succumb to temptations and revert back to your old ways. See yourself in the light of what you have accomplished, and make that your new normal. You have gained ground. Stake your claim and hold on to it. Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

December 10, 2022: Do not feel guilty for separating yourself from people who are not good for you. Set your heart to choose your relationships wisely so that there is mutual benefit with those who are close to you. And remember that you are called to always be kind to one another, tenderhearted and forgiving. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

December 9, 2022: When you feel like there is no way out of an unpleasant situation, remember that I am your God. Nothing is too difficult for Me. You can depend on Me to enlighten you so that you can see your way of escape. Quiet your fears and desperation, and have faith in Me. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

December 8, 2022: Many of you, My people, need to work on being humble. Strive to develop characteristics that you know by the Holy Spirit to be righteous and good. Do not think that being haughty elevates you. It only brings you down spiritually and in the eyes of other people. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

December 7, 2022: In a dream there was a steady stream of dogs and cats coming to my door for food. They seemed to be starving with no one to take care of them. I thought for sure that I would run out of food to give them, but there always seemed to be enough. And, the Lord said: Your provision comes from Me, and I never tire of those who come to My door seeking to be fed. You, and those like you, are My conduit on the earth. Do not grow weary in doing good. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

December 6, 2022: Take disappointments in stride. Your circumstances will change, but I never change. I am your Rock and High Tower to which you must run. You will find peace as you live and move and have your being in Me. Refuse to allow anything to take you away from the assurance that I am your help. Psalm 31:3 For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me.

December 5, 2022: Be centered and stay focused. There are many distractions at this time that will take you away from your prime objective and spiritual purpose. Do not forget your end goal and eternal design. Continue to stay connected and seek My face. Psalm 27:7-9 Hear, O Lord,when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When You said, Seek My face, my heart said to You, Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide Your face from me; do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

December 4, 2022: There are ways you can help others and ways that you should not help. I would have you be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every situation. I know the depth of your compassion, but there are times when you can intervene and times when you should mind your own business. Let your spirit and your conscience be your guide. 2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

December 3, 2022: There is a strong and mighty wind blowing in the realm of the Spirit that will remove all guilt and shame. It will sweep away the debris of the past and prepare you for a new beginning. But you must embrace the innocence of starting over and leave the past behind. Receive the forgiveness afforded you through the redemption promised by the blood of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23-26: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

December 2, 2022: You sometimes feel like you are running a race on an obstacle course where you keep getting bogged down in mud holes, having to jump hurdles, and hitting brick walls. But I tell you that I am with you to make rough places smooth and crooked places straight. Trust Me to bring you through, says the Lord. Isaiah 40:4-5 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

December 1, 2022: Like bees in a hive, you are not alone. It takes every bee doing its part to produce honey. You already know what you need to do to coexist with others. You must do your part to fulfill your purpose and achieve your destiny. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

NOVEMBER 2022

November 24, 2022: Breakthrough is imminent. Just stay the course and refuse to get discouraged or be defeated. This is a new day with new possibilities and great potential. I am with you to give you a future and hope. Never doubt My ability to go before you and direct your path. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

November 23, 2022: Do not be disheartened or fall into despair. Even though you are facing difficulties, I have given you the strength to push through and gain the victory. Keep your focus on what is working instead of what is not working. When you ask for wisdom, I will most certainly give it without holding back. Have faith. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

November 22, 2022: As you embark on a journey through unfamiliar territory, know that I am still with you. Your surroundings and circumstances may change, but I never change. You can always find your strength and stability in Me, says the Lord. I am the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. James 1:2-5 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

November 21, 2022: What you have endured has equipped you for the next phase of your existence. Your strength and endurance was greater than you ever thought possible. This was a time of preparation for changes that will be necessary in the days ahead. You have come through strong and resolute. Continue to stand strong and unafraid. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

November 20, 2022: Take a deep breath and settle yourself in peace. You have endured disturbing and upsetting circumstances, but you must let the past be the past before you can forge ahead. This is a new day. Set yourself to allow My strength to be the basis for a new beginning. I am with you and will uphold you. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

November 19, 2022: This is a time when you must quiet your soul so that your thought process is clear. You cannot make good decisions when you are discombobulated. Encourage yourself with what you know to be true, and stand on the firm foundation of the word of God. Refuse to become flustered by your current circumstances. This too shall pass. Psalm 131:2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.

November 18, 2022: Do not worry about what the future holds. You can make plans and set goals, but you must also stay present with today and your current circumstances. Do your best with what you are facing here and now. You can only take one day at a time, so keep your priorities straight, and put first things first. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

November 17, 2022: I keep hearing the sound of victory in my spirit as I feel the soft touch of the Spirit confirming His word that we are overcomers and will see better days ahead. Life has not been easy, but we have learned much about ourselves, others, and the work of God through the challenges we faced. We thank God for His wisdom, direction, and goodness. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

November 16, 2022: You will be facing issues that you do not know how to deal with. But, I have gone before you to make a way for you to know and perform My perfect will. Stop fussing and fuming, quiet your soul, and trust Me to show you the way. Have faith. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

November 15, 2022: In my spirit I keep hearing the phrase "new heights and new horizons". I believe we are at the beginning of a new spiritual ride that will take us to new heights where we can see beyond our limited view. We will have the opportunity to embrace a higher purpose and expanded vision of spiritual truth about ourselves and our future as we walk in the Spirit and seek the face of the Lord. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

November 14, 2022: Today you are turning over a new leaf. It will be a new page in your personal history, a new beginning if you will. You can make positive changes that will improve your attitude and the way you live. Do not pass up this opportunity to renew your commitments to those close to you and your spiritual commitment to Me. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

November 13, 2022: I have called you to a new anointing that requires your awareness. You can improve your spiritual discernment by looking and listening as I reveal My purposes. It is My desire that you deliberately ascend to a higher place where you can receive wisdom and direction. Quietly and powerfully carry out My instructions, says the Lord. Psalm 101:6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with Me; he who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve Me.

November 12, 2022: Procrastination is an anchor. You cannot progress until you do the things that you have been putting off. Put aside dread and do what needs to be done. You will be relieved and ready to face every new day with confidence. Remember that you are not alone; I am with you every step of the way, says the Lord. Proverbs 10:4 A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

November 11, 2022: This is a time to get organized and to tie up loose ends. You need to be clear and unemcumbered for the next leg of your journey. You have already come a long way. Pause and consider where you were a year ago and put it behind you. This is a new day with new possibilities. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

November 10, 2022: Leave the troubles of the past behind. There is nothing you can do about what has happened, but there is plenty you can do with what is ahead. Set your heart and mind to do all that I have for you. Settle yourself to move with the flow of My Spirit. I have gone before you to prepare the way. Isaiah 40:4-5 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

November 9, 2022: Never underestimate My power to heal. Ask in faith without wavering; have complete trust in Me and do not doubt even for one moment. When you seek with all your heart, you will find. Ask and it will be given. Do not be afraid! Fear undermines faith. Matthew 7:7-11 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

November 8, 2022: Be true to yourself and your righteous values. Maintain peace. Much of what you worry about is beyond your ability to change. Put your trust in Me to do what you cannot and to show you the way to spiritual perfection. Allow Me to set you in a place that you cannot understand here and now, but it will make perfect sense in the days ahead. 1 Corinthians 16:13 Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.

November 7, 2022: I keep seeing a vision of a teeter-totter with someone standing in the middle so that it is level, and I heard the Lord say: Find your center of stability (mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) and stay there. Keep your balance so that you are neither up nor down. Maintain your sense of being on a firm foundation through strong and unwavering relationship with Me. That is where you will prosper. Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

November 6, 2022: These are days to be excellent. Be the best version of yourself possible. Arise to every position of righteousness, justice and faithfulness. Hold yourself to the high standard of My Word and purposes. You can do this because I have sent the Helper to assist you in this endeavor. John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

November 5, 2022: To those who are moving through life at break-neck speed, it is time for you to rest and recuperate. Enter into My rest where you can let go of the stress and strain. Come into My presence where you can quiet your soul and be rejuvenated. Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

November 4, 2022: When you review your life have no regrets. Nothing is wasted in My Kingdom. Your life experiences, whether good or bad, were necessary and instructive. You have been shaped and fashioned by your accomplishments and your failures. Rejoice in your successes, and learn from your defeats as you strive to live, move and have your being in Me. Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

November 3, 2022: Prepare yourself for another shift in your life experiences and circumstances. Your inclination will be to hang on to what is familiar and safe, but you must move with the flow of My Spirit without fear or trepidation. Trust Me to re-establish you on higher ground and a firm foundation. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

November 2, 2022: You must take life as it comes. You cannot decide how you will react or respond in situations you are not facing here and now. It is all conjecture and presumption. There is enough for you to deal with today without projecting out to the unknown. Stand solidly where you are right now, and do not worry about the future. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

November 1, 2022: The recent adjustments that you have made, both great and small, will begin to produce results. Your obedience to My leading will be rewarded in ways that you could not have expected or imagined. Continue in righteousness and establish yourself in peace as you move forward in consecration to Me. Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

OCTOBER 2022

October 31, 2022: Release your dread and fears to Me when you face change and everything around you seems to be difficult and unwieldy. I will make the crooked places straight and give you peace that surpasses understanding. Set your heart to believe that I am with you to guide you through the maze of confusion. Be still. Isaiah 45:2 I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.

October 30, 2022: Stay focused and keep pressing on. Regardless of the turmoil around you and the fears that surround you, I am the same. I do not change. You can count on finding your stability in Me. Quiet your soul, and establish yourself on the truth of My Word and My love for you. I am the solid rock on which you stand. Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

October 29, 2022: For those who have been steadfast and diligent, your goal is within reach, and your reward is at hand. But, this is no time to slack off. You must maintain what you have gained and be a good steward of what you have and what you do. You have come this far; do not go back! Continue to trust Me to perfect those things that concern you. Psalm 138:8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands.

October 28, 2022: I am shining a spotlight on you, My people, so that you can see the places in you that need adjustment. I will reveal that which is hidden in your heart that keeps you from complete transparency in My kingdom. You cannot prosper spiritually or otherwise unless you yield to correction and revision. There are aspects of yourself that need attention. Proverbs 3:11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction.

October 27, 2022: These are the days of breaking through the darkness of your own soul and spirit. Honest internal work is required before you can actually see what is keeping you from the light of My presence. It is My will for you to live and walk in the light so that you can actually be the light of the world. Be done with evil intentions. Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

October 26, 2022: Your convictions are a strong fortress against evil. Hang on to righteousness and morality. Refuse to give in to the temptation to compromise your godly standards. Be free from sin and guilt. You will never regret being honorable and virtuous. Hold fast to your moral compass. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

October 25, 2022: You thought you were doing good when you stepped out of your flow in the Spirit. The lesson here is that you are not on your own, you belong to Me. You must follow My lead and not follow your assumptions. Make sure that who you are and everything that you do is according to My will and purposes and not your own. Get back on track by repenting and receiving forgiveness. Every day is a new day. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

October 24, 2022: It is time for you to begin to broaden your horizons. You will have opportunities to increase your range of knowledge and experience, and you will be able to see more opportunities and make better choices. Seize every moment to grow and expand your vision both naturally and spiritually. Galatians 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

October 23, 2022: Stay strong and stand on the righteous principles of My word. There are elements in the world around you that will chip away at your values and morality, but you must maintain your spiritual integrity. Make a determination to always do what is right and good. Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

October 22, 2022: In your evaluation of who you are and where you have been, be careful to avoid dumping down into condemnation. You can do nothing to change the past. You have today to live in righteousness. Do your best with where you are, what you do, and what you have now. Remember that you are of great value in the Kingdom of God. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

October 21, 2022: You are going to experience a level of freedom that you have not had for quite awhile. Circumstances have resulted in the stress of feeling burdened, but you are about to be released. And, you will be established in a renewed sense of life and liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

October 20, 2022: Be strong and stay calm. The things you worry about are mostly out of your reach. Let go, and trust Me with those you care about and the circumstances that are beyond your control. Set your heart on peace and serenity. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

October 19, 2022: Do not give up hope. Keep pressing on. Remember that when I abide in you, you will live a life of complete honesty and integrity. You will exhibit My character and nature in all things, and you will achieve My goals for you. You are My child, My offspring, and I take care of My own. Acts 17:29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.

October 18, 2022: Hold your plans loosely. It is okay to have an outline, but make room for Me to perfect those things that concern you. I will lead the way if you will allow it. Or, you can stubbornly cling to your desires and ideas. Just remember that you cannot predict how things will work out. Be flexible. Psalm 138:8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

October 17, 2022: Do not beat yourself up when you make a mistake. There is always something to learn from things that did not turn out the way you expected. Take the time to evaluate what you did wrong and make a course correction so that the error is not repeated. Life consists of trial and error and finding the best way to achieve your desired result. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

October 16, 2022: Refuse to allow the circumstances of life to swallow you up so that you lose perspective. There are things to do, but everything must be done from a position of order instead of chaos. Be thoughtful in your process and apply divine wisdom. Establish and maintain a solid connection with Me, and I will guide you. Stay calm. 1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

October 15, 2022: Issues that have long been in the works will begin to come to a reslution and conclusion. Breathe a sigh of relief as you reflect on what it took to get here. At the same time ready yourself for the next leg of your journey. You will have to make important decisions, but always remember that you can ask for wisdom when you are in a quandary. I will show you the way. Psalm 25:4-5 Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on you I wait all the day.

October 14, 2022: It is time to tie up loose ends in your life and reset. Your spirit and soul need to be clear in preparation for the next phase. Set yourself to be the best version of yourself you can be. What was or has been will not be destroyed, but will be put safely on the proverbial shelf for you to revisit any time you want to. Do not be afraid to let go. Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.

October 13, 2022: I have empowered you to be an overcomer. Even though you are under My protection and guidance, there are still difficulties of the flesh and world that you have to rise above and overcome. But, you can do that with ease when you confidently depend on Me to bring you through. You can rely on Me. Exodus 15:2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

October 12, 2022: When you are downtrodden and discouraged come to Me for comfort. When you feel lost and alone come to Me for direction. When you are at wits end come to Me for wisdom. When you are bone tired, come to Me for rest. When you have fallen come to Me, and I will pick you up. I am your shelter in the storm and your very present help in trouble. Come to Me. Psalm 62:8 Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

October 11, 2022: Refuse the urge to discount or disparage others. Learn to love them unconditionally as I love you. No one has reached perfection. Everyone has faults. Resist the temptation to judge from your place of strength to their place of weakness. John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

October 10, 2022: Be strong spiritually and you will break through long-standing barriers. Never doubt for a moment My ability to help you press through. Lean on Me. Find your center in Me. Live and move in My Spirit. Trust Me to be your guide in every situation, for I am with you. Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.

October 9, 2022: In a vision I saw people traveling on an elevated highway, and I heard the Lord say: I want to lift you up and take you higher than you have been before. As you move and stay in this elevated place, it will soon become your new normal. And from this high place, you will be able to see and understand things that have been beyond your comprehension in times past. Prepare yourself for spiritual elevation. Isaiah 49:11 I will make each of My mountains a road, and My highways shall be elevated.

October 8, 2022: There are issues that need your attention. Your tendency will be to gloss over them instead of taking action. But, the longer you put off what needs to be done, the more complicated it becomes. Procrastination is not your friend. James 4:17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

October 7, 2022: You have been forgiven and you are redeemed. Let go of your regrets. Put the past behind you and let today be a new day, a clean slate. Position yourself to receive all that I have for you today and in this season. You cannot accept My gift and still continue to beat yourself up because you have deemed yourself to be unworthy. You are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb sacrificed for you. Accept it and be made whole. 1 Peter 1:18-19 ...knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

October 6, 2022: Put your worries behind you and focus on what you can do to make things better. In some instances there will be nothing to do except to strengthen your faith and wait. Either way you must establish peace in your heart before you can find solid ground on which to stand. Find your place of stability. Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.

October 5, 2022: There seems to be no end to trouble, but you have a spiritual advantage. Bring your burdens to Me, and I will give you wisdom and direction that will help you overcome. I see your predicament, but there is nothing I cannot handle if you will trust Me to bring you through. Lean on Me. Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

October 4, 2022: When you feel abandoned, alone, and without friends, remember that I, the Lord, know you and care about you. I am your very present help in times of trouble. Come to Me when you have been deserted and are desolate. I will soothe your troubled soul. Come to Me to be refreshed and renewed. Proverbs 18:24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

October 3, 2022: To those who have made significant progress, stay the course. Maintain the ground you have gained both spiritually and naturally. These are the days of a great awakening when your spiritual vision will become clearer than ever and your senses will be heightened to perceive more acutely. It is a time when you will rejoice silently and not as the rooster crows. Romans 13:11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

October 2, 2022: You will begin to see the resolution of difficult problems. I will impart to you clarity in the understanding of what you can do to deal with these issues. Refuse to get mired in possibilities or probabilities. Rather, seek My face and ask for the wisdom necessary to move forward at this time, says the Lord. Never doubt that I am with you. Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

October 1, 2022: Set aside time to take a deep breath and rest. Come into My presence for a much needed respite from the demands on your time, worries and fears. There is nothing in your life that I do not know about. I will give you the strength and wisdom to deal with every situation and circumstance. You can put your trust in Me to bring you through. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

SEPTEMBER 2022

September 30, 2022: Prepare yourself for a new spiritual journey. I will take you into a realm of wisdom and understanding that you have not yet experienced. The preparation I speak of is one of purity and a genuine desire to know Me more intimately. You will never reach for anything you do not want. So, this will be a deliberate and focused process. Only those who have the desire will make this journey. Job 23:12 I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

September 29, 2022: Change is sometimes difficult to navigate. Do not panic. Take one step at a time as you transition into the unfamiliar. This is yours to do, and it will soon become routine. Pray for wisdom and be calm and deliberate; it is part of your beginning into the new era. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

September 28, 2022: Stand on the solid ground of truth in every situation and not what you want to be true, but that which is actually true. The world is full of liars and those who stretch and distort the truth to satisfy their own selfish desires. My heart is with those who are honest souls who do not yield even for a moment to perversion or corruption. Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

September 27, 2022: This is a brand new day. Wipe the slate clean and begin again. Refuse to allow your past to dictate your future. Position yourself to live and move in the Spirit without restraint. You have been set free. Do not let your past haunt you or hold you back. Move forward with the ease afforded you in this season. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

September 26, 2022: SEASON OF HOPE by Marsha Burns: When I was seeking God for what He would show me with regard to the next New Era, I glanced out my office window and saw a rainbow. I then saw in the spirit someone walking on a rainbow and thought of some of the song lyrics in Somewhere Over The Rainbow:

September 25, 2022: When things seem to no longer work or properly meet your needs, you will have to make some adjustments. This is a time when you are being re-positioned so that you can maximize the benefits of the new season. Don't panic when changes are inevitable. It will be much the same as your eyes having to adjust from darkness to light, and you will begin to see clearly again. 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.

September 24, 2022: Go with the flow of change. It may feel awkward in the beginning, but you will get used to the changes, and they will become part of your existence on a different level. The more you set your heart on spiritual things instead of natural things, the better off you will be. Keep your priorities straight. Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

September 23, 2022: I want you to step back and take a look at the bigger picture. While looking at details is admirable, you can miss a greater understanding that is necessary in accurately evaluating a particular situation. Take the time to make adjustments in the way you see things so that you have greater clarity of intent and purpose. Psalm 14:2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

September 22, 2022: Your worry has gotten you nowhere. You have stewed and fretted about things you do not even understand. Where is the faith in that? Get up out of your stewpot and know that I will give you the wisdom and direction you need when you need it. Settle yourself in the flow of My Spirit and relax. You can depend on Me. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

September 21, 2022: The power of evil produces chaos and destruction. I speak to you, My people, to rise up out of the throes of destructive cycles that keep you in agony and suffering. Resist unrighteousness. You already know the difference between good and evil. Choose good in your heart and follow through with goodness in your behavior and actions, says the Lord. Your life in the Spirit depends on that decision. James 4:7-8 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

September 20, 2022: Watch for the beginning of breakthrough. It will be like the breaking of a dam, one small stream at a time until the obstacles are gone and new opportunities for growth and stability will be a reality. Stay hopeful and do not give up. Your day is coming. Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

September 19, 2022: Continue the effort to press through these difficult times. Do not give up. I know every detail of your life and heart, and I am with you. Establish yourself in hope and keep the faith. You are destined for victory. This too shall pass. 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

September 18, 2022: Break free from the things that have held you captive and kept you in bondage. It is time to deal with issues that have held you back and hindered your ability to become all that I have called you be and to accomplish all that I have set before you. Examine your life so that you can see clearly where you must fight for your freedom, says the Lord. Be courageous. John 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

September 17, 2022: I see the burden of your soul and that you have become weary in waiting for breakthrough. You must rest, but take your rest by having faith in Me to bring you through. Refuse to fuss and fume over things that are beyond your control. I see your plight, and your way to peace is through Me. Trust Me to make a way. Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

September 16, 2022: Embrace change. For some it will be small things that need to be tweaked, improved, or re-arranged. For others it will be the need to exchange or replace that which is no longer relevant. And, for others it will be a time of complete renovation. I speak of your spiritual condition as well as your emotional, mental, and physical environment. I am preparing you for the days ahead that will require soundness of spirit, soul, and body. Make the most of the opportunities that are presented. Now is the time to get ready to move into the new season. Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

September 15, 2022: This is a time when you need to make peace with your past along with all of the poor judgment, embarrassment, rejection, and self-interest. You belong to Me. You have been redeemed and are a new creation. You can do nothing to fix what has already transpired. Move on. 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

September 14, 2022: I woke up this morning with the Spanish word, sientese, which translated to English is "sit down." And, I heard the Lord say: You have been frantic to achieve breakthrough and have worn yourself out with this obsession. I already know what you need, so relax. I will show you the way to calmly achieve your goal. Ask and you shall receive. Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

September 13, 2022: Arise from your bed of sorrow and look for ways to be content, grateful, and happy instead of being upset and worried. Rise above your worldly discontentment and realize that because you belong to Me, you are highly favored. What you have or do not have is a temporary condition, but who you are spiritually in Me is forever, says the Lord. Psalm 44:3 For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them.

September 12, 2022: I Am not only with you in your spiritual mountain top experiences; I Am with you in your mundane existence. I Am with you to help with the challenges you face every day. I Am as close as your breath. Silence your soul and quiet your thoughts and anxieties as you allow Me to interact with you and give you the wisdom and direction you need to take your next steps. Peace be with you. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

September 11, 2022: You have been looking for solutions and completion in various aspects of your life, and your wait is coming to an end. These are things that must conclude before you can be positioned to move forward and begin to experience the new season before you. You will forge ahead with a greater sense of spiritual stability and assurance. Isaiah 33:6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

September 10, 2022: Your empathy and kindness will be multiplied back to you. Do not consider even for a moment that what you do for others goes unnoticed. You are My hands and My feet on the earth, and when you do My bidding, you will be rewarded beyond measure. Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

September 9, 2022: Beloved, I want My thoughts to be your thoughts and My words to be your words. They will be thoughts and words of love and encouragement to those around you. Be done with pride and prejudicial judgment and actions, and remember that you will reap what you sow. If you want a better harvest, you have to plant better seeds. Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.

September 8, 2022: Look for Me even when you do not feel like it. When you find Me, you will regain strength and hope. I am your help in troubling times, and I will energize you to be able to deal with every situation regardless of how daunting it seems. There is nothing beyond My reach. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

September 7, 2022: There are things you have neglected and need your attention. Do not procrastinate any longer or those issues will become more difficult to deal with. Now is the time to bring resolution to every area of your life. You will be glad you did. Proverbs 12:27 The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, but diligence is man’s precious possession.

September 6, 2022: When you feel like you have stalled out, do not despair. Keep moving forward even if it is small increments. You are not alone in feeling this way. It is not yet time for moving in leaps and bounds or making great sweeping changes. Find your place of safety and be content for the moment. Be at peace. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

September 5, 2022: When circumstances seem uncertain, do not be afraid. Circumstances change, but I never change; I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I care for you and will lead you through the maze of difficult conditions. Trust Me to reveal solutions to the problems you face. Be strong and have faith. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

September 4, 2022: Beloved, I want you to come closer to Me. You have achieved a level of comfort in seeking and interacting with Me, but there is more. There is a higher level of spiritual understanding and perfection that you have stopped short of. Press through this barrier of complacency and rise to new heights. Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

September 3, 2022: The spiritual atmosphere that prevails over your nation and even the whole world has been one of hindrance. It seems like you have been walking through mud. Everything takes more effort than it should. You can, however, alleviate much of this trouble by allowing Me to lead you through the maze of difficulty. I will give you wisdom and favor when you ask. Proverbs 4:12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.

September 2, 2022: In many ways this is a new beginning for you. There are things you can leave behind and be done with as you set your heart on what will transpire. But, remember that even when you are looking ahead, you must have your feet firmly planted in the present as you seek My face with a desire to stay connected spiritually. You are still in transition. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

September 1, 2022: You are in unfamiliar territory because I am taking you in the direction of correction. There are things in your life that are inconsistent with kingdom values. It is not that you are completely off track, but taking you out of routine will reveal attitudes and motivations that need to be highlighted. I will show you what needs your attention. Proverbs 3:11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction.

AUGUST 2022

August 31, 2022: Step back and take a broad view of where you are spiritually and how you got here. Renew yourself in the foundation of what you believe. For the purpose of examination, see if you have strayed from that which you value the most. Do not compromise those elements of vital spiritual importance, but rather reinforce what you know to be righteous. You belong to Me, says the Lord. Isaiah 43:1b Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

August 30, 2022: Come closer. Reach higher. Seek more earnestly. Re-establish your faith and commitment to stand firmly on the solid rock of Christ. Be strong and unwavering. You are living in a time of extreme turbulence and distractions, so it is more important than ever to stay focused and connected. Your efforts will produce miraculous results. Psalm 18:1-3 I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

August 29, 2022: Refuse to worry about things that are out of your reach and control. Faith is believing without seeing, and you can put your faith in Me to take you where you need to go and give you the wisdom that is necessary to navigate your circumstances. Save your energy and just do what is required of you today. I am with you, says the Lord. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

August 28, 2022: Beloved, the discomfort of this season will soon be a thing of the past. Keep your mind on spiritual things that cause your faith to be strong. For, I will bring you through this awkwardness, and you will gain the victory. What you learn at this time will be most valuable in the days ahead, but you must endure and persevere, says the Lord. Trust Me! James 5:11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

August 27, 2022: Search your heart and be objective in finding those things in you and in your circumstances that have kept you from being able to get unstuck and to accomplish what I have set before you. Make the changes necessary to position yourself to be confident, strong, and able. Ask Me to help you. Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

August 26, 2022: You are not able to see beyond where you are now, and it is sometimes disconcerting. You can make your plans and decide your course of action, but that does not make it a reality. You must put your trust in Me to take you where you need to go to accomplish My will and purposes and to fulfill divine destiny. Let peace rule in your heart. Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.

August 25, 2022: Refuse to worry about what might be tomorrow, next week, next year, or next decade. You have today to do your best to be the person you are destined to be. It is enough to take care of your responsibilities and challenges as they come. You do not know what lies ahead for you, but you can strive to be the best version of yourself here and now. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

August 24, 2022: You can change the course of your life and destination by giving more attention to that which is in agreement with My will and purposes. Set your mind on things that will build you up instead of things that will tear you down. Establish yourself in hope and be done with discouragement and despair. For, I am truly with you to bring you to a place of victory over self-destruction. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

August 23, 2022: Forgive those who have used, abused, or hurt you in any way because unforgiveness will become your personal prison. It costs you nothing to forgive just as I have forgiven you. But holding on to past offenses will keep you from the fullness of My blessings and rob you of peace. Let go and move into the divine realm of freedom that forgiveness offers. Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

August 22, 2022: Parts of your life have seemingly been turned upside down, but you will now find greater stability and clarity as you deliberately walk and live in the Spirit. You will begin to heal and forge ahead having been strengthened supernaturally in your inner man. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

August 21, 2022: Many things have required your attention and effort, and it has been difficult to maintain spiritual perspective. But, I would have you put aside the busyness of every day and deliberately come into My presence. Only there will you receive divine restoration and renewed vitality. I want you to partner with Me in all that you do. Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

August 20, 2022: Be assured that I am leading and guiding you in everything that you have submitted to Me. I cannot move in those areas that you have not relinquished. You must deliberately release every aspect of your life and trust Me to work on your behalf. Cast your cares on Me and believe. 1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

August 19, 2022: To those who have been faithful to stay on course, your diligence and hard work will be rewarded. I know the sacrifices you have made in order to serve without complaint. Your patient endurance has not gone unnoticed. Philippians 2:14-16 Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

August 18, 2022: Settle yourself in quiet strength. You have nothing to prove to anyone. You know who you are and that your spiritual condition is everything. You do not need to prove that you are worthwhile or special. You already know that you are one of a kind and special to Me, says the Lord. Psalm 139:13-14 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

August 17, 2022: This time of self-evaluation is not for the purpose of condemnation or shame. It is for the purpose of growth and spiritual development. There are things you must give up in order to move forward and things that you must forgive or receive forgiveness for. Elevation is the goal for you and those around you as you are continually being transformed. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

August 16, 2022: This is a time like no other for you to rely on Me and stay close. Stand strong in faith and be courageous in the face of adversity. I am your God. I know you and love you. You are under My protection, and I will guide you. Psalm 91:1-7 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

August 15, 2022: Come to Me in times of distress, and I will heal your broken heart. I will show you how to move forward in the care of My Spirit as you release the past. Know that I am with you to lift you up and give you a sense of joy and peace again. Psalm 34:18-19 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

August 14, 2022: I will lead you to victory in the days ahead. You will know without equivocation that I am with you to show you the way to optimize your potential benefits, says the Lord. I will give you strength and renewed hope in fulfilling your purpose. Move forward knowing that My grand design is being worked out in your life. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

August 13, 2022: Within the next 45 days, you will end an old chapter in your life and begin anew. This will not only be a time of reflection, but a time of examination and planning for the next phase. There are things you will leave behind, but do so without regret. You have learned from your mistakes and have enjoyed your victories. Prepare your heart to receive all that I have in store for you in the coming days, and set yourself to draw near to Me, says the Lord. Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

August 12, 2022: I see your heartache and understand your desperation, but you must not take matters into your own hands. Dealing with this situation yourself will only make things worse. This is a time when trust is everything. Receive My guidance and direction and be patient while you wait for the ultimate outcome. Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.

August 11, 2022: Even though you encounter unexpected situations, you must take things in stride and not allow that which is temporary to interrupt the flow of the eternal Spirit, says the Lord. The stress of this time will pass and you will be stronger and wiser than you were before. Every day is an opportunity to see Me at work in your life. You are truly being transformed, but transformation is sometimes painful. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

August 10, 2022: Do not despair. My grace is sufficient to take you through every crisis you face. You are not the only one who has to endure distress, and you are not alone in this crucial time. You are at a turning point in your life that has created a sense of instability. Keep the faith; you will come through this stronger than you have ever been. James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

August 9, 2022: The problems you face that still need to be resolved, will require patience. You cannot speed things up by prancing around in a frenzy. Settle down and allow circumstances to take their course. You cannot skip over the hard parts because there are valuable lessons to be learned. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

August 8, 2022: Be calm and refuse to allow circumstances to upset you. Remember that I have everything under control, and you need not worry. This time will require faith and patience for you to get through successfully. Steer clear of fear and allow My Spirit to guide every step, says the Lord. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

August 7, 2022: It is important that you communicate clearly in these days. Misunderstanding could create unnecessary problems. Be open, honest, and willing to listen carefully to others in order to alleviate frustration. Presumption is your enemy. Stay with what you know to be true. Apply the truth of My Word to every situation. Psalm 91:4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

August 6, 2022: Now is the time that you can bring to conclusion many facets of your life and circumstances. Pay attention to opportunities to leave the past behind before your begin to look to new horizons and forge ahead. Take advantage of turning point moments and be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

August 5, 2022: In my spirit, I heard the word enigma, and the Lord said: I will make sense of those things that have been puzzling to you. I will reveal obscurities and mysteries that have been difficult to understand. Open your heart and mind to receive clarity and understanding. Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

August 4, 2022: Even when it seems like you are not making progress, you are on track spiritually and moving in the right direction. Have patience and do not doubt yourself. When you have committed your life and circumstances to Me, I will usher you into divine destiny. Go forth in the confidence that I am leading the way, says the Lord. 2 Peter 1:5-7 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

August 3, 2022: Spiritual growth requires change, and the only thing that is holding you back is your resistance. Even though you try really hard to hang on to places of comfort and stability, it is not possible to keep things the same and grow. You must be willing to release the past and make peace with your current reality. Circumstances of life test your ability to adapt and thrive. Let go and go. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

August 2, 2022: Come into unity with My Spirit so that you are in complete harmony with no dissonance at all. There must be no inconsistency or disagreement with what you know to be true and how you express it outwardly. Be done with hypocrisy and pretense and honestly live in spirit and truth. John 4:23-24 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

August 1, 2022: Establish yourself in divine order by being obedient to My word and living in righteousness. Then your path will be clear. I will orchestrate your steps and take you on a spiritual journey you would not have imagined. No need to fret or worry about your future. I will uphold you. Psalm 37:23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand.

JULY 2022

July 31, 2022: You are unsettled about several aspects of your life and undecided about your course of action. Ask of Me, and I will give you understanding and wisdom in the things that are still puzzling. Do not despair, but know that I am leading you in the way you should go. Lean on Me! James 1:5-6 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

July 30, 2022: Internal work is still the order of the day. I will show you things about yourself that need correction. Allow this supernatural work to be done that will bring you to a new level of spiritual integrity. The result will be a genuine change of heart that allows My blessings to flow in your life unhindered. Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

July 29, 2022: Be strong and unwavering in your faith. You are not praying to an imaginary deity. You are praying to a living God whom you can trust with all your heart. Do not be afraid because I am with you to lead, guide, direct and protect you. Only believe. Hebrews 11:6 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.

July 28, 2022: Examine yourself to see what you have been obsessing about. It will be something that dominates your thoughts. Truthfully, you cannot move forward until you release that obsession to Me and allow Me to direct your steps and to give you wisdom that can give you some relief. Shift your focus from flesh to Spirit. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.

July 27, 2022: Sometimes it feels like you are the only one who is doing good and that the world around you is out of control evil. But, I say to you that it does not matter what others are thinking, saying, or doing. You are not responsible for anyone but yourself. Your greatest asset in life is maintaining righteousness and living in peace by grace. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

July 26, 2022: I seek to bestow a special blessing on those with a heart of humility who have truly forgiven all who have used, abused, or offended you. Will you be one of those who will receive the blessing? Will you forgive as I have forgiven you? Come to Me with a pure heart and clean hands, and I will bring restoration, refreshment and renewal. Psalm 24:3-5 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

July 25, 2022: I heard the Lord say: Go deep! Refuse to get stuck in what you already know religiously, and look for a deeper spiritual understanding of Who I am and who you are in Me. Move into the realm of spiritual reality where My Word is not just a fable, but is the plan by which you live your life here and now and for eternity. You are in a crucial time where you must choose to grow or you will become dormant. 2 Peter 3:18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

July 24, 2022: Go with the flow of change. I know where I am taking you, and every adjustment is for the purpose of your growth and development in the Spirit. I am drawing you closer to Me so that your eyes will be open to see. You will begin to perceive yourself apart from the filter of self-protection and justification, which will help you discern all that is true and good. Stay connected. Hebrews 5:14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

July 23, 2022: Those who have been diligent will begin to see the fruit of your labor. In some cases it has been a long and arduous undertaking, but you have stayed the course without losing heart. Enjoy the reward, but do not presume that life and circumstances will get any easier. However, you are well able to face any challenge with the help of My Spirit. Colossians 3:23-24 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

July 22, 2022: Curb your frustration. It does no good to spew out your dissatisfaction and criticism. What you dislike in others mirrors what you dislike in yourself. Deal with your own shortcomings and imperfections and have compassion on those around you. You will be judged with the same measure that you judge. Be kind. Matthew 7:1-5 Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother ’Let me remove the speck from your eye; and look, a plank is in your own eye?’ Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

July 21, 2022: Align yourself with My timing. Your submission and cooperation in carrying out My will are vital as the elements of change fall into place for a smooth transition into the next phase of existence. Never doubt the ability of My Spirit to usher you into divine order. You will indeed fulfill My plans and purposes for your life if you stay the course. Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

July 20, 2022: Indecision is no man’s land. There are no answers there and no place to go. You need to fill your thoughts with Me, seek My face, and come into My presence where I can give you direction and guidance. Wait for My wisdom about every situation. Stand still until you have clarity, and do not fret. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

July 19, 2022: Often things seem to be too complicated to understand, but that is because you are trying to comprehend as a whole. You must break down each component of whatever is overwhelming you and, like a jigsaw puzzle, deal with one piece at a time. You do not live life one year at a time or one month at a time, or even one day at a time. You live from moment to moment. Trust Me to give you the wisdom you need for each moment. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

July 18, 2022: You cannot go back to another day and time when life seemed more simple and pure, but you can live in the integrity of that time and bring those values into the present. It is up to you to live in simplicity and purity by My Spirit. You can exhibit the sweetness of My presence in every encounter if you desire to do so. Matthew 18:2-4 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

July 17, 2022: There are times when you must speak and times when you must be silent. I would have you speak when it is appropriate, but be silent in My presence so that you can receive My wisdom, especially as it applies to solutions to difficult problems. You need My help in navigating the struggles of life, says the Lord. Stay close. Zechariah 2:13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!

July 16, 2022: Beloved, when circumstances require your energy and attention, you must still be aware of the impact you have on others. Do not lose yourself in the process of attending to worldly concerns. In these days it is of even more importance to maintain connection with Me. Stay focused. Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

July 15, 2022: Many of you have become entangled in things that you need to break free from. It was easy to get involved, but not so easy to walk away from. Do yourself a favor and release yourself from the snares that are holding you back from the liberty that you deserve. It will require your quiet and insistent resolve, but you can do this if you set your mind and heart on deliverance. John 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

July 14, 2022: There are still things that you know you need to put to rest, that have nagged at you for some time and that you have put off. It is time to face the challenges that seem difficult regardless of your fear of failure. It will be easier than you imagined it would be. I am with you to lead the way, but you must take the first step, says the Lord. Hebrews 13:6 So we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

July 13, 2022: I see your heart, and I know that you are feeling a little disoriented and lost. World conditions and the tragedy of inhumanity to man is disconcerting to say the least, but you must find your place of peace and safety in Me. Your strength comes from your relationship with Me as you walk in spiritual reality. Make a difference where you can by extending kindness to others. Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

July 12, 2022: Before you can advance spiritually, you must truly forgive those you have held a grudge against. They may be in the wrong, but so are you for resenting them. It is time to admit your ill will, let go, and move on. You must forgive if you wish to be forgiven. Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

July 11, 2022: In a vision I saw someone walking on a railroad track, and I heard the Lord say: You are on the right track, but that does not mean that everything you do will produce the results you desire. You want your decisions to be perfect, but often there are things you do not completely understand that will yield a different result. Refuse to allow disappointment to cause you to give up. Try again and this time trust Me to bring perfection. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

July 10, 2022: Pay attention and watch for valuable insights that will prepare you and facilitate your spiritual development. You are ready to proceed and take the next step in a series of actions and understanding necessary to this vital process of spiritual growth. I have called you, My people, to a closer walk with Me, and that will require that you leave behind the hindrances that keep you from intimacy with Me, says the Lord. Proverbs 4:12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.

July 9, 2022: Your days of transition have defined you and will reveal more completely your strengths and weaknesses. This revealing of your true nature will equip you for the next leg of your journey. You will look back on this time as vital to your spiritual development even though it has sometimes been difficult to navigate. Your commitment to the Lord God Almighty will be rewarded. Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

July 8, 2022: When a spirit of fear invades your thoughts, remember who you are in Me. You know that you can trust Me. You have seen Me work in your life over and over again. Refuse to be overcome by fear, and stand in bold faith that you will overcome by the power of My Spirit. I am with you to bring you through to victory. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

July 7, 2022: There is a shift in your spiritual atmosphere, which will allow you to overcome hindrances that have slowed down or even stopped your progress. You will now be able to extricate yourself from what has seemed to be an endless wait for breakthrough. Get ready. Psalm 42:11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.

July 6, 2022: Look beyond your distractions to reconnect with Me. It is time to get back on the narrow path that leads to life. Your condition spiritually, mentally, and emotionally depends on your ability to concentrate and be done with external religious exercise. It is time for you to truly walk and live in the Spirit. Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

July 5, 2022: Refuse to allow circumstances to be upsetting; they are but a fleeting moment in time. Rather focus on things everlasting. Your spiritual well-being is beyond the reach of human intervention and cannot be altered or modified by any outside force. Your covenant with Me cannot be broken by anyone but you. Maintain eternal perspective. Mark 16:16-18 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

July 4, 2022: I will make a way where there seems to be no way. And, I will shine a light on the path before you so that you do not stumble or fall. Allow Me to be your partner in life and trust that I will open and shut doors appropriately. You have not been this way before so you will need My wisdom and guidance. It is My will that you prosper in all that you do. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

July 3, 2022: Stop and take a personal inventory of how you manage your resources. I speak of time, money, energy, and concentration. Productivity in the world is not the same as spiritual productivity. You are set in this world to establish My kingdom in all things. It is My desire for you to become a better steward of all that you have been given and all that you have been given to do. I will direct your steps, says the Lord. Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

July 2, 2022: For those who have taken the time and spent the effort to deal with the issues facing you, the reward of your efforts is now at hand. Breakthrough is imminent. You will experience a sense of relief and freedom that has been out of your reach until now. Well done! Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

July 1, 2022: Put first things first. Your well being will depend on your faithfulness to your Creator. Refuse to worry about your material needs and desires; your focus needs to be on developing true and honest relationship to God in the Spirit. Remember 1 Corinthians 3:7 that it is neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

JUNE 2022

June 30, 2022: You are at a point of spiritual discovery. If you will allow it, I will reveal greater depth and meaning in the truth of My Word. However, you will need to yield to the moving of My Spirit and not stubbornly hang on to the traditions of men and the works of the flesh. Open your heart and mind to receive revelation. I am bringing you higher. Acts 26:16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.

June 29, 2022: Give of yourself freely. It costs you nothing to be kind and considerate. I have called you to exhibit My character and nature in all things and in all ways without excuse. Refuse to put yourself in a position of superiority or to think of yourself more highly than others. And being defensive does not become you; humility does. James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

June 28, 2022: Many of you, My people, have not had your prayers answered because your faith wavered. You believe when you pray, but when you do not see immediate results, you falter and allow doubt to creep in. You must stand firm in your position of receiving and refuse to be moved by outward circumstances. Be resolute. James 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

June 27, 2022: Even though it seems like your progress is slow, it is steady continuance that counts. This race will not be won by covering great distances; it will be won by taking one step at a time and by not giving up. Make sure that you advance by being honorable, just and blameless. Remember that you represent My kingdom. Live righteously. Psalm 18:20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.

June 26, 2022: Disappointment and discouragement leave a dark stain on your soul, which you must bring to the light to be removed. I am the Light, and in My presence all darkness must flee. Do not allow these stains and darkness to remain. It is My will that you allow My light to shine in every corner of your being so that you are Mine absolutely. Let peace and righteousness reign. 1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

June 25, 2022: When you have to deal with issues that are not comfortable to face, do not be afraid. Be bold and strong. I am with you to help you through this unfamiliar maze. It might not feel like it now, but you are on the road to discovery that will make you a better person. Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.

June 24, 2022: There are issues in your life that need attention. You have ignored them long enough. In order to continue into the next phase of existence in clarity and strength you must take care of these issues. It will take some doing, but I will give you the strength and gumption to accomplish all that you need to do. Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.

June 23, 2022: These days will require patience. There are issues that still hang in the balance that are not easily resolved and will require your calm endurance. Stand firm in your ability to maintain self-control while you wait. 2 Peter 1:5-9 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

June 22, 2022: There are adjustments to be made and things that need to be done, but I want you to find peace in the midst of a worrisome time. Be assured that I am with you every step of the way. Let Me lead you and calm you when you are unsure. You will soon be on the other side of these uncertain times. Trust Me. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

June 21, 2022: You have no power to change the world conditions, but you have all power to deal with your own situation. Do what you can where you can. Your contribution to making things better begins and ends with how you respond to all that concerns you. Do the best you can with what you have and what you have to do. 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

June 20, 2022: Your progress may seem slow, but if you will look back at where you were, you will realize how far your have come. Do not quit or allow your impatience to become a discouragement. Slow and steady; slow and steady should be your motto. Just keep moving forward and you will get there. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord in and in the power of His might.

June 19, 2022: Set yourself in a place of quiet strength. Clamoring will only bring chaos and unwanted attention. Take the time necessary to seek My wisdom regardless of how elusive it may seem, and wait until you have clear understanding and guidance before you take the next step. Rest assured that I am with you and will direct you, says the Lord. Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

June 18, 2022: Refuse to allow dread to occupy your thoughts. Take on the challenges of each day in strength and confidence of Spirit. Dread is nothing more than the fear of what might happen. You are not there yet, so take care of your immediate concerns and trust Me to give you the wisdom and courage to succeed. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

June 17, 2022: Prepare yourself to deal with issues that you have overlooked or ignored. It is time to face reality and do what must be done before you can move to the next phase. Once dealt with you will experience a sense of relief and greater freedom. Do not be afraid. Lean on Me for the strength and courage to proceed. Psalm 56:3-4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?

June 16, 2022: Draw near to Me with a pure heart and clean hands, and set your petition before Me. Bring your request in faith with no unbelief or doubt, and I will answer. Pray in accordance with My perfect will for you and release your burden. Psalm 24:3-5 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

June 15, 2022: You are going to always have good days and bad days. Rejoice in the good and learn from the bad as you take everything in stride. Your goal should be to walk and live in the Spirit where you can rise above the things of the earth, hear My voice, and obey My leading. It is your choice. Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

June 14, 2022: Put your priorities in order, and set yourself to achieve your goals and ideals. This takes self-discipline and focus, but you will not regret it. Be strong and resolute, and keep Me in sight as you move ahead and not in your rear-view mirror. I am your very present help, says the Lord, and I will guide you. Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.

June 13, 2022: Things are changing all around you, and the path that you have taken seems ominous and at times even treacherous. But you must stay the course. Take solace in that which is familiar while navigating the strange and unfamiliar terrain. Let Me be your guide and your place of safety. Run to Me in times of trouble or when you are unsure. Psalm 107:28-30 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; so He guides them to their desired haven.

June 12, 2022: Stay alert and be vigilant to see that you do not take a divergent path from the one that I have set you on. Refuse the temptation to depart from what you know is right and true for you, says the Lord. I have a plan and purpose that will require your steadfastness at this time. Do not allow distractions to take you off course. 1 Corinthians 7:35 And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

June 11, 2022: Yield to the spiritual work in your heart of consideration and care for others. Prepare for a supernatural expansion to take place internally until you care as much for them as you do for yourself. It will be a subtle but powerful work that begins with unselfishness. And the rewards will be great and lasting. Isaiah 58:6-8 Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily,and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

June 10, 2022: Pay attention and watch for valuable insights that will prepare you and facilitate your spiritual development. You are ready to proceed and take the next step in a series of actions. You will have the understanding necessary to this vital process of spiritual growth. I have called you to a closer walk with Me, and that will require that you leave behind the hindrances that keep you from intimacy with Me. Proverbs 4:12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.

June 9, 2022: You are on the road to recovery from the things that have, for all intents and purposes, put you down. Arise from places of difficulty just as surely as you get up in the morning from your bed. Set your heart to go forth in My strength, and be led by My Spirit with strength and courage. Malachi 4:2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings, and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.

June 8, 2022: Calm your mind and emotions, and seek My presence. I will reveal solutions to difficult problems and give you insights that you have been lacking. These are necessary things before you go on to the next phase. You will begin to see how you have grown spiritually and progressed in purpose. I am with you! Psalm 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

June 7, 2022: You desire better days, but there are things you must learn before you can move on. There are issues of your own heart that must be resolved and things you need to face that will serve to make you a better human being. These are the days of greater spiritual perfection that require your attention. Yield to the process. Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

June 6, 2022: Prepare for change, whether welcomed or not. It is a time to be fluid and flexible. Allow Me to move you to conform more completely to My will and purpose for you. Your sense of stability should not depend on your physical and natural conditions but in your spiritual and eternal position. Jeremiah 18:3-4 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

June 5, 2022: I speak to those who have not made the distinction between legitimate authority and domination. Many of those who dominate and those who are dominated are under the influence of a generational curse that must be broken before freedom can be attained. I want you to be free, says the Lord, free to enjoy relationship with Me and express spiritual truth always. John 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

June 4, 2022: No good deed goes unrewarded. When you need someone to be kind and generous to you, first extend kindness to those around you. Establish yourself in the flow of positive sowing and reaping, and your life will reflect the benefits. Set your heart to do good. Deuteronomy 6:18 And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the Lord swore to your fathers.

June 3, 2022: When you find that life has become increasingly complex and difficult, let Me lead you. You do not always know the right course of action in moving forward, so put your trust in Me to go before you and make a way. Do not be afraid; I will show you the way. Isaiah 45:2 I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.

June 2, 2022: Take each day as it unfolds and stay present. Refuse to dwell on the past; nothing will change what was. The future is always beyond your reach except to hold your plans loosely with an open hand. What you have is this moment, the ever present now. So strive to live every minute to its full potential as directed by My Spirit. Live in righteousness and peace and without regret. Ephesians 5:8-10 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness and truth, proving what is acceptable in the Lord.

June 1, 2022: Ask what you will, but ask in faith without doubting. You must believe that I am both willing and able to meet your need. I am not a magician that will produce whatever it is you desire. I respond to your faith and confidence in Me through our relationship that produces faith and hope. Come to Me with a pure heart. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

MAY 2022

May 31, 2022: This is a time when you will have opportunities to identify and correct behaviors that are not consistent with My character, nature or Word. There are adjustments to be made before you can advance on your spiritual journey. I will show you things you must do to alleviate potential problems in the future. Stay alert for My wisdom and direction. Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

May 30, 2022: Reset and reevaluate your goals. Make sure the path you are on and the direction you are going will produce the fruit of righteousness and spiritual health. If not, recalibrate. Make the necessary adjustments so that you are in sync with My will and purposes for you. There is no need to feel lost here. It is not too late to make adjustments. Proverbs 10:17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses correction goes astray.

May 29, 2022: Give yourself completely to Me. I am your Shepherd and you are My sheep. Let Me lead you and establish you in places of safety. Let Me direct your steps so that you are always secure, and listen for My voice so that you are on the right path. Do not stray from all that is right and good. I will protect you. Psalm 23:1-3 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

May 28, 2022: Although you may be suffering right now, you are on the right track. You will be better in due time. Do not despair or be afraid. Put your complete trust in Me. I see your circumstances and understand your discomfort. I will give you the power to endure. Have hope. Psalm 43:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and My God.

May 27, 2022: For those whose emotions are like waves crashing against the rocks, make every effort to quiet your soul and seek to be comforted in My presence. Solace will come when you deliberately arise in spirit. Your faith will provide consolation in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. selah

May 26, 2022: Regardless of your heartbreaks and disappointments, pick yourself up and establish yourself in faith that I am with you and for you. There are still things for you to accomplish in fulfilling My purpose for you here and now. I will move you to the next level of spiritual experience and authority if you will allow it. Rise up and come up. Ephesians 2:4-7 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

May 25, 2022: Find your place of inner peace and become aware of its boundaries. When you find yourself stepping over the line into agitation, frustration and irritation it is time to reestablish yourself in the safety of peaceful existence. There is discord all around you, but it does not have to be in you. Psalm 4:8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

May 24, 2022: I keep hearing in my spirit "self-restraint", defined as continence, self-control, self-discipline. It is the ability to control impulses, emotions and desires. The Lord is asking us, as His people, to overcome the flesh so that we can truly walk and live in His Spirit. There is much He can do through us if we will let Him rule and reign in our lives. But we must exercise self-restraint. Galatians 5:22-23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

May 23, 2022: Take time to re-evaluate your life and take stock to see what is really important to your well-being on every level. But, remember to put first things first, and that would be your spiritual wellness. I am doing a particular work in this season to prepare you to be dedicated and consecrated to do and to be all that I have called you to. This is a true spiritual work that will begin and end with your vital connection with Me. 2 Peter 1:5-10 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.

May 22, 2022: Beloved, I will lead you by My Spirit to search the height and depth of your own soul and spirit to see what you really believe and to reveal the places in you that are not aligned with the truth of My word and will. Corrections are necessary in order to find your optimum spiritual flow. Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

May 21, 2022: Out of My Spirit, I will perform signs, wonders and miracles if you will only believe. Do not allow what you see with your eyes and perceive with your mind keep you from experiencing My power. Step into all that I will provide, and never doubt My ability to intervene in your circumstances. Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

May 20, 2022: Life is complicated. Take success where you find it and evaluate failure when it comes. Always try to be objective in the challenges you face. These are times when internal work will be your leveler. It is this process that helps you grow spiritually as you understand the value of experience in the light of absolute truth through your relationship with Me. John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

May 19, 2022: Maintain your spiritual equilibrium because many things can get you off balance and interrupt the flow of divine order. Stay on course and refuse to allow the enemy to distract you from My purpose for you and stay strong. Do your best to be quiet and stay calm. Psalm 107:29-30 He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; so He guides them to their desired haven.

May 18, 2022: In a vision I saw someone climbing out of a dry well. And, I heard the Lord say to those who have been stuck and stagnant: Use your energy to get up and climb out of your darkness. Fruitfulness does not happen to you, but is the result of your effort to do what may seem impossible. Rise up in My strength; I will do through you that which you cannot do alone. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

May 17, 2022: When you feel like you are drowning in the problems you face, I will send a life boat to your rescue. I will give you the insights and wisdom you need to lift you to safety. Instead of stewing and fretting, trust Me to make a way where there seems to be no way. I see your dilemma, and I am with you to help you overcome. 1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.

May 16, 2022: I speak to those who have been thinking about your past with many regrets and condemnation. Those days are gone, and today is a new day. You can do nothing to change what was done by you or to you, so refuse to allow your thoughts to be negative. Do whatever it takes to stay current and set yourself to find hope even if only in small things. Psalm 42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.

May 15, 2022: The time of change has come. You will never be the same again, but I have things to teach and to show you that you could not have received until now. These will be times to remember and to cherish even though they seem to be beyond your ability to fully deal with presently. It's not your power that will bring you through; it is Mine! Zechariah 4:6b Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.

May 14, 2022: Be still. Get centered and make a solid connection of your inner being with Me. That is the way to establish relationship with Me and something you can go back to as often as you want and need to. I am your life, your hope and your help. Never doubt that I am with you. Stay connected. Deuteronomy 4:29 But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

May 13, 2022: Take time to regain perspective. You may have to look back to see how far you have come before you can see clearly where you are and where you are going. Remember that as you yield to Me, I direct your steps along the path to your ultimate destination. There is no need to worry or to have regrets. Your experiences and challenges have strengthened your faith as you are being transformed into My image. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

May 12, 2022: Step back for a moment and evaluate who you are, what you have done, and where you are going. Things are not always as they seem. Make sure you have aligned yourself with Me and My purposes. Always be ready to make adjustments that will keep you in divine order. Only then will you walk in harmony with Me and under My divine protection. Psalm 91:4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

May 11, 2022: Breakthrough is like an egg with an outer shell protecting the hidden life inside. It is strong yet vulnerable and can be broken if dropped. You must protect your faith and spirit as you wait for new life to come forth. Be patient and remain hopeful. Psalm 27:13-14 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord!

May 10, 2022: You have many and varied opportunities to establish yourself in divine order, and you have done so in many areas. But, I want you to be alert to the process of fine-tuning in things that come up and demand your attention. Be willing to be corrected and perfected. I will show you the way in this process. Stay alert. 1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

May 9, 2022: When you get frustrated, often your tendency is to lash out or disparage others. But I would have you rise above emotional responses to consider how you feel when someone belittles you. Your preference would be understanding and kindness. Give others the same consideration. Luke 6:31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

May 8, 2022: I speak to those who have been overwhelmed and feeling lost. You need to reset and realign. Intentionally find your place in the realm of the spirit in relationship with Me, says the Lord. This is the only place where you belong and can feel whole again. It is your comfort zone. Come and take your rightful place in My kingdom. Luke 17:20-21 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say: See here! or See there! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.

May 7, 2022:  Be careful about putting your trust in others. Even when they try to do their best, there will be times when they will let you down. But, if you put your trust in Me, I will never lie to you or lead you astray. I will show you the path that leads to righteousness and eternal life. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

May 6, 2022:  Refuse to allow fear and intimidation to keep you from moving into the next phase of your gifting and calling. The enemy would have you get stuck in a place of insecurity, but I am calling you to have confidence in Me to empower you to do all that is necessary. I am your strength and your shield. Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.

May 5, 2022:  Do not dwell on the things you are ashamed of. You can do nothing to change the past. Repent and receive My forgiveness. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Regret is a weapon of the enemy to keep you bound. Freedom is a choice, and My grace is sufficient for the day. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

May 4, 2022:  This is a brand new day. Spend every minute of it wisely because you can never recoup the time. Be a good steward of what you have been given and what you have been given to do. You have the power to discern and judge properly all that is true and right. Use discretion in everything you think and plan. Begin again today. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

May 3, 2022:  Set your heart to earnestly seek My face and to know My presence. Be still and be done with doubt and fear. Come boldly before My throne of grace and ask in faith believing that I hear and will answer. Worry is your enemy that will undermine your faith. Only believe. Matthew 6:25-27 Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

May 2, 2022:  Take a mental inventory of where you have been and where you are today. Then, let go of all condemnation that had it roots in where you fell short or did not live up to your own expectations. Forgive those who insulted or hurt you in any way, and begin again with a clean slate. What is done is done! Leave the past behind and move forward with renewed resolve to fulfill your purpose and to live righteously. Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

May 1, 2022:  Become a holy habitation, a dwelling place where My Spirit can live and manifest in and through you. Without My Spirit you will have no power to accomplish what I have called and set you to do. I have asked you to overcome the flesh, and to walk in the Spirit, but you cannot do that without making yourself a willing vessel. 1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

APRIL 2022

April 30, 2022:  Look to Me for refuge. I am your port in a storm, your defense in conflict, and your beacon in darkness. I will give you clarity where there is confusion and lead you on a sure path in unfamiliar territory. You can trust Me in all things, says the Lord. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

April 29, 2022:  Do not give up; get up. Refuse to allow current circumstances to get you down and keep you down. Make your way through deception to get to the truth. Do everything you can to rise above the lies of the enemy and to see how much power you have over him. Allow My power to be your ultimate force to gain the victory. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

April 28, 2022:  Take appropriate responsibility for the things that are not working in your life. Ask for wisdom to figure out what you can do to make corrections. Recognize the patterns you repeat which produce results you do not like or want. Do your best to make changes that will be beneficial to your well being. Galatians 5:16-17 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

April 27, 2022:  You are entering a time when solutions to difficult problems will become apparent. Be definitive, and let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No. It is time to stop wavering and just hoping things will work out. Carry out your purpose with strong intentions. Matthew 5:37 But let your Yes be Yes and your No, No. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

April 26, 2022:  You have experienced some breakthrough, but that was only a taste of what is coming. I will make rough places smooth, and unattainable goals will be within your reach. Lift up your head and strengthen your resolve. You will overcome! Isaiah 40:4-5 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

April 25, 2022:  It is hard to find your footing in the midst of uncertainty and danger. But you must remember that I am you place of safety, your port in the storm. Come to Me for wisdom, direction and comfort. Find solace in Me. Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

April 24, 2022:  You have come to a turning point at which you will have opportunities to make corrections in your life that will position you for greater productivity and victory. Separate yourself from past defeats and disappointments. Those days are past; bury them and begin to move forward. Romans 5:5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

April 23, 2022:  Position yourself in a place of peace, and completely let go of the fears that you have secretly nurtured. Fear is neither productive nor will it yield positive results. Calm down. Get your thoughts under control, and put your trust in Me, for I will bring you through this time, says the Lord. Let Me lead you out. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

April 22, 2022:  Watch for opportunities to be a blessing to others, and become a bountiful receiver of God’s grace. You will not regret your acts of kindness and generosity. Set yourself to be used by the Lord to carry out His purposes on the earth. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

April 21, 2022:  Settle yourself in My presence and give up all feelings of unrest. There is a place of peace that is beyond the turmoil of circumstances. It is a place of safety and rest within yourself where you can find solace and quiet protection. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

April 20, 2022:  There are things you must consider for the days ahead. You will not know details, but you will know the general landscape of how you must proceed. Consider your options and wait for My wisdom and direction, and then rest in quiet confidence until the time has fully come. Isaiah 30:15a In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.

April 19, 2022:  The door to My secret place is open so that you can come in and learn of Me. The season you have entered has a mysterious element, but if you come through that door, you will discover that which has been shrouded in mystery. You will have revelation that transcends your intellectual understanding. You will be able to walk in the Spirit unhindered. Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

April 18, 2022:  Calm down and be realistic. Embrace the truth about where you are and what you need to do next. Be willing to take responsibility for yourself and your well-being regardless of how scary or difficult it may seem. Seek earnestly for wisdom and direction. Do not be afraid, but rise up in faith and courage. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

April 17, 2022:  Leave spiritual immaturity behind and grow up into the strong, unwavering, mature disciple that you were intended to be. Embrace all that I have prepared for you in My kingdom, since before the foundations of the earth. I have not only prepared the kingdom for you, but I have prepared you for the kingdom. Let maturity take its perfect course. Hebrews 5:12-14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

April 16, 2022:  I search the land to find those who have kind and generous hearts, for I will bestow a blessing on those who carry out My purposes on the earth. I delight in your willingness to give support to the less fortunate and lift up the downtrodden. You express My heart. Proverbs 11:25 The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

April 15, 2022:  Do not underestimate the power and work of the enemy, but also do not underestimate the power that I have given you to overcome and be victorious. I have heard your prayers, and I will give you the strength and the wisdom necessary to succeed. Rise up in faith and be done with fear. The time has come for progression. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

April 14, 2022:  Even though you feel like I am a billion miles away sometimes, I am as close as your breath. But you must quiet your thoughts and emotions and be really still to know My presence. Do not doubt your ability to look for Me and find Me. Allow Me to fill your heart with peace that is beyond your human understanding. Come and let us have sweet fellowship together, says the Lord. Acts 17:26-29a And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being.

April 13, 2022:  Having a setback does not mean that your forward motion has been thwarted. Do not get discouraged or lose hope. Your power is in moving forward even when you cannot see through the fog. Be strong and stay steady; one step at a time, one day at a time. I see your plight, and I am your strength. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

April 12, 2022:  In a dream I was walking through a forest, and a man approached me and gave me a container of rare herbs and spices that he had gathered. I was delighted and inspired, so I processed the herbs and spices he had given me and made them into an ointment, which I was able to share with others. I believe the interpretation of the dream is whatever Jesus gives us is a gift that we can both internalize and share.1 Timothy 6:17-19 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

April 11, 2022:  Be diligent and always do your best. When you seem to hit a brick wall, do not view it as a failure; rather see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. You are sometimes too hard on yourself, so accept the fact that you will make mistakes. Pick yourself up, ask for wisdom, and try again. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

April 10, 2022:  Times are changing, and you must adopt a mindset of flexibility. Be sensitive to My leading, and be ready to make changes that will insure that you are where you need to be. My path is a narrow one, and your obedience is the key to walking with Me, says the Lord. Stay close! Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

April 9, 2022:  The most valuable and effective currency you have is prayer. The time you spend in My presence will produce the greatest and most lasting benefits. Seek for that which no man can take away, and no worldly system can devalue. Be rich in righteousness and good works. Matthew 6:18-21 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

April 8, 2022:  I see you and know what you have been through and the sacrifices that you have made. You have been faithful all the way and not wavered from your commitment and dedication to Me, says the Lord. Your strength and courage have not gone unnoticed. You will be rewarded. Revelation 22:12 And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

April 7, 2022:  Regardless of your current situation or condition, you must make every effort to rise up into the realm of the Spirit to see, discern, and receive divine instruction. Put aside all fear and doubt, and come boldly before My throne of grace. I have not abandoned you and never will. Strengthen your resolve and come. Proverbs 2:3-5 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

April 6, 2022:  Watch for distractions that take you away from faith, truth, and righteousness. Keep your gaze fixed on Me and be sensitive to My leading. Make every effort to be still, and refuse to allow your emotions to take you off course. This will take concentration and effort, but will be worth it all. 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

April 5, 2022:  There are a few changes in your mindset that are necessary in this season if you wish to progress and be more productive. They will be small adjustments that will serve you well. This is not a time to be set in your ways. Be flexible. Ephesians 4:11-16 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

April 4, 2022:  The hindrances that you have encountered are beginning to dissipate. Stay on the path of progression and keep moving. Your goals are in sight and can be achieved if you are diligent. Stay steady and be persistent. Psalm 84:5-8 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca [weeping], they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

April 3, 2022:  You can now make great inroads that will help in accessing what has been beyond your reach until now. There are things that you needed to deal with before moving on. You are at the very cusp of beginning a new phase of existence. Enter it with clean hands and a pure heart. Psalm 24:3-5 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

April 2, 2022:  By My Spirit, I will cause you to examine and restate everything you believe. It is time for you to clearly know and understand what your faith consists of. It is important at this time for you to walk wholly and undeniably in truth. This process will bring spiritual elevation and stability, which will become the platform where you can stand in unwavering allegiance to My kingdom. It will require an examination of what you believe and your position in the light of My Word. Maintain an open and discerning spirit, and do not be afraid to make adjustments. John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

April 1, 2022:  You must push back and fight against the darkness of the world because it will obliterate the light of God. You do this by faith and understanding the truth of the Word. Do your utmost to walk in light and life. John 1:3-4 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

MARCH 2022

March 31, 2022:  Exploitation abounds, and you must distinguish between being helped or being exploited. It is a shame that people wait in the shadows to take advantage of you, but the power is yours to just say no. No is an anointed word. Psalm 91:1-3 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.

March 30, 2022:  In a dream I and many others had found a place where the presence of God was strong and palpable. We were preparing to leave where we had lived and move to this place. We packed only the very best of our essential belongings to take with us and were delighted and excited to take advantage of this opportunity. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

March 29, 2022:  In a vision I saw a log jam in a river, and I asked the Lord to show me the meaning of the vision. The logs represent our attitudes and actions that prevent the smooth flow of the Holy Spirit in us. They are the hindrances to spiritual purity. It is up to us to remove the obstacles that prevent holiness and righteousness. 1 Peter 1:13-16 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written: Be holy, for I am holy.

March 28, 2022:  To those of you who are in anguish as you endure the sorrow of the tragedies of life, I remind you that your current difficulties are transitory. Things will change. Arise from hopelessness and seek life and light in the Spirit. You are not alone. I will bring you through this time stronger than you ever thought you could be. Isaiah 35:3-4 Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted: Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.

March 27, 2022:  Even though the world seems to be filled with evil and hatred, you are not of the world. You have the ability to create an environment of love and respect. How you feel and what you do will make a difference in your atmosphere, and it is to your advantage to do what is good and kind rather than what is selfish and defensive. Let My Spirit lead you. John 17:16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

March 26, 2022:  You have always been set apart, but I am doing a further work of separation so that you can more completely fulfill My purpose in your life. You will rise above everything mundane and fleshly. You will no longer do things that you have found to be marginal. You belong totally to Me and have no tolerance for sin on any level. Prepare to be elevated. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

March 25, 2022:  In the Spirit I was aware of the substance of the presence of the Lord. He was brooding over His people to strengthen us spiritually. He is the Creator of the Universe, and He is giving each of us the ability to be creative in our own unique way to glorify Him. He is calling us to move beyond our natural limitations to be extraordinary. Psalm 29:1-2 Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

March 24, 2022:  Find your place of peace in the midst of chaos. Stay calm and rely on your faith in Me to protect and direct you. I am your safe harbor and your help in trouble. Keep looking up and do not be afraid. Psalm 91:1-2 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord: He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.

March 23, 2022:  I am calling you, My people, to get back to your original purpose and to live in simplicity and purity of heart. The complexities of life that drag you down must be relinquished so that you can live in My Spirit. Come to Me for the strength to let go of everything that keeps you from spiritual freedom. Romans 6:22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

March 22, 2022:  When confusion sets in and things become too difficult, take the time and make the effort to get back in the flow of My Spirit. Deal with issues that have taken you off course. Seek to establish yourself in peace. Then, you can know without question that I am with you and directing your steps. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

March 21, 2022:  Stand strong in the hope of your calling. I have not forsaken you, and I will open doors that have been shut and make a way for you to move forward. Be faithful in the small things, and the larger issues will take care of themselves. Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.

March 20, 2022:  You can only take one step at a time, putting one foot in front of the other, until you get through this tedious time. Make the most of every day as you strive to do the best you can do to stay on track spiritually. You are establishing a foundation on which to build your future in My kingdom. The foundation is the least interesting yet the most important part of your structure. Luke 6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

March 19, 2022:  Look up and put your faith in Me. It has been hard to find a ray of sunshine and hope, but hang on. I will bring you through the darkness and the maze of despair. You are My own special treasure, and I have not forgotten nor forsaken you. I am with you. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body

March 18, 2022:  Discernment is one thing and judging is another. When you catch yourself criticizing or judging someone harshly, remember that you are sowing seeds that will produce a harvest of judgment in your own life. You really must treat others as you would like to be treated. Do not ever think that you are exempt from the law of sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

March 17, 2022:  Set your heart and choose to value all that is eternal above what you have and what you do. It is easy to undervalue your life in the Spirit because it is invisible, but you would do well and be wise to make it your first priority. Selah Matthew 19:29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

March 16, 2022:  I, the Lord, am your pilot if you will allow Me to be. Do nothing apart from My leading, and I will illuminate the path before you as I take you by a way that you have not known. It will be a way that you have not yet considered, a highway of holiness and spiritual clarity that will be your delight. Isaiah 35:8 A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray.

March 15, 2022:  To those who continue to worry about things beyond your control, take a break. Your worry accomplishes nothing, but your faith achieves the impossible. Bring your requests to Me in earnest, and leave them with Me. Nothing is too difficult for Me. 1 Peter 1:6-8 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.

March 14, 2022:  Silence your mind and emotions and seek solace in My presence. I am not far from you; I am as close as your heartbeat and your breath. Release the things you worry about to Me and truly set your heart to believe that I will do what you cannot. Come into My rest. Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

March 13, 2022:  Even though it seems like the attacks against you have been relentless, you must not give in to discouragement and despair. Steel yourself and stand strong regardless of your temptation to give up. Opposing forces will ultimately serve to strengthen you. I am with you to show you the way to victory. Trust Me, says the Lord. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

March 12, 2022:  In a vision I saw a door across the room; it was shut, but the light behind the door framed it. It had an inviting quality. And, I heard the Lord say: No longer allow darkness to be your reality. Open the door of your heart to light and life. Allow My supernatural light to infuse you with revelation of My purposes for you. The wisdom that follows will illuminate your path. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

March 11, 2022:  Take the time to evaluate your life and activities to make sure that you reflect My plan and purposes for you. Do everything possible to stay connected to Me and to reflect My interests in your sanctification and in your treatment of others. The days are evil, but you must shine as a bright light in the midst of darkness. Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.

March 10, 2022:  Let your faith triumph in trouble by trusting in your God, and establish yourself in the peace that is beyond understanding. You have every right to be concerned and unhappy except for the truth that I am with you, says the Lord. Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

March 9, 2022:  Set yourself to be sensitive to My Spirit and I will give you a peek into things to come, but you also must stay current and live where you are now. Give your full attention to that which I am showing you. There are valuable lessons to be learned that will strengthen your faith and spiritual resolve. Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

March 8, 2022:  When you do not know what to do, be still. Quiet your mind and emotions and seek My face. Listen for My voice to lead you out of this valley of the shadow of death. I see what you cannot see and I can do what you cannot do, but you must be still, have faith, and wait for direction. Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

March 7, 2022:  Come close to Me in times of trouble and do not be afraid. I know your situation, your trials and tribulation, and I have not left you nor forsaken you. I am with you to bring you through. Put you faith and trust in Me to show you the way. Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.

March 6, 2022:  Many of you, My people, have been too concerned about what other people think, or about how you think they see you. That has resulted in an attitude of self-consciousness that will keep you from walking in spiritual freedom. You have to let it go. What matters is that you receive direction and correction only from Me, says the Lord. Stay close. Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

March 5, 2022:  Do not project out to imagine what you will have to deal with in the days ahead. It is enough to take care of your responsibilities and needs of today. Hold your plans loosely with an open hand so that you can embrace change as it comes. Put your faith and trust in Me to direct your steps. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

March 4, 2022:  Regardless of the chaos around you and the things that seem to keep you off balance, I am your foundation. I am the solid rock on which you stand. It is My Word and the unchanging Spirit that will keep you stable and firmly in My grasp. Isaiah 35:3-4 Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.

March 3, 2022:  The details are what often trip you up. This is a time when your attention to the finer points is required, so look beyond the larger picture to see more clearly what you are dealing with. Ask for help when you need it. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

March 2, 2022:  Pay attention to your spiritual condition and refuse to be distracted with things happening around you. Your health and well-being originate in your spirit and soul. It is imperative that you stay connected to Me so that you can prosper in all things. That must be your primary objective. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

FEBRUARY 2022

February 28, 2022:  Prepare to adjust the way you have been doing things. Change is inevitable and you must move with the times and seasons to stay on course. This can range from fundamental to incidental. Flexibility is the order of the day. Rigidity will only create frustration and failure. The best course of any action is to live and walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

February 27, 2022:  Rise above fear and dread by way of reminding yourself that I will bring you through your current complex dilemma and perplexity. I will give you wisdom and direction and bring people into your life who can help you through this difficulty. But you must stand in the firm belief that I am with you and for you. Establish your heart in absolute faith with no doubting. Refuse to give into despair and discouragement. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

February 26, 2022:  When you have truly given yourself to Me and have become part of the Kingdom of God, you will sacrifice your right to live according to the dictates of your carnal nature in order to demonstrate life in the Spirit. The fruit will be evident. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

February 25, 2022:  Do not despair when you are having an identity crisis and not sure of who you really are or where you belong. You must get back to your foundation, which is found in Me. Take the time to station yourself firmly on the solid rock of My Word and stand in faith, trusting that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. When you are in Me, you are immovable. Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

February 24, 2022:  Be strong and unwavering in your commitment to live a life worthy of redemption. Always keep your focus on spiritual reality rather than earthly concerns. Spirit first and the natural will follow. Let your love flow like a river. Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

February 23, 2022:  This is a time of renewal when you can get in touch with the excitement and enthusiasm that you had when you first gave your heart to Me. There was so much to discover and so many possibilities. Time and trouble have put a damper on your open heart and childlike faith, but you can recover all that was lost. Come to Me for restoration and rejuvenation. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

February 22, 2022:  Settle down and come into My rest where there are no fears or worries. In My presence you can feel boundless safety and find your place of strength and truth. Come to Me in confidence and be at peace. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

February 21, 2022:  I am revealing to you the truth regarding the cause and effect of relationships and betrayal. Refuse to allow those events to become excuses for harboring resentment. The healing of those wounds require your deliberate forgiveness of those who mistreated you. It is time to leave the past behind. Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

February 20, 2022:  In a vision I was standing by a river, and there was a foggy mist rising from the water. The Lord said: You are continuing in the flow of My Spirit, but the path ahead of you is still shrouded in mystery. You cannot see far enough ahead to see where you are going. However, you can trust Me to move you into your perfect destiny. Stay the course. Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

February 19, 2022:  Many of you, My people, are at a crossroad, and you are not sure where to go next. Ask Me for wisdom, and I will direct your steps. I know the beginning and the end, and I will not lead you astray. Be confident that I am with you and will not forsake you. Psalm 31:3 For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me.

February 18, 2022:  The doors are opening to unusual opportunities for those who have been stuck. It is time to begin to move forward. It will not be like the bursting of a dam, but more like a trickle. And you must take the first step. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

February 17, 2022:  Be alert because I am going to show you places in your life where you were deeply wounded by someone, and you have not completely forgiven them. It has created a callous on your heart. Now is the time to remember and forgive. Allow your heart to become soft again. Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

February 16, 2022:  In a vision I saw the night sky. It was clear and the stars of heaven were bright. I was more than usually aware of the rotation of the earth marking time. And I heard the Lord say: It is later than you think. Do all that I have called and chosen for you to do without holding back. Romans 13:11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

February 15, 2022:  Rise up and strengthen yourself in the power of My Word and My promises for you. Your place of strength is in Me and in your connection with Me. Refuse to dump down in the problems of life and world conditions that weaken your stamina and resolve. Be strong! Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

February 14, 2022:  Rise above the things that restrict you and keep you in bondage. You have been given the liberty that transcends the mundane conditions of humanity and transports you into the presence of the Lord. Do not despair, and refuse to live beneath your potential. You are His and being transformed into His image. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

February 13, 2022:  When you are faced with opposition, take the time to examine yourself to understand your own culpability instead of escalating from opposition to division. Your sense of pride and need to be right will cause you to fight for the victim position. But, I want you to be honest with yourself and be established in a righteous position before Me. Romans 12:19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

JANUARY 2022

January 31, 2022:  Things will not always be this difficult. Do your best to maintain a positive outlook because negativity will not feed your soul or spirit. Walking and living in the Spirit will sustain you through trial and tribulation. Set your focus on the eternal instead of that which is temporary. 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

January 30, 2022:  You are embarking on a new phase of existence, and spiritual understanding is vital to your well-being. If you will quiet your inside chatter and listen, I will give you wisdom and instruction. You cannot hear My voice unless you take control of your thoughts and emotions. I want to be able to lead, guide, direct and protect you. Be calm and yield to My leading. Psalm 131:2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.

January 29, 2022:  I am calling you back to a life of simplicity and purity of heart. Spiritual satisfaction will be found in vital connection with Me and in fulfilling divine purpose. Get in touch again with the sweetness of that connection. Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

January 28, 2022:  Search for Me until you find Me. Come with a desire to know Me and to know who you are in Me. Only then can you truly thrive spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. Quiet your soul and arise in Spirit with confidence that I am not far from you. Isaiah 45:3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.

January 27, 2022:  In a vision I saw an ancient Roman Colosseum with Christians having been rounded up to be fed to the lions. It seemed very sad and hopeless until the Spirit of the Lord came in power to shut the mouths of the lions. And I heard Him say: Just as in ancient times the enemy has rounded up many of My people to be destined for destruction. But I am present to shut the mouth of the enemy and keep him from devouring you and the blessings I have appointed for you. Keep your eyes on Me, for I am your great Deliverer and Savior. Psalm 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.

January 26, 2022:  I keep hearing the phrase: What goes around comes around. It means that our actions will have consequences. Basically, if we want to be treated with respect, we must treat others with respect; if we want to be loved, we must be loving. When we disrespect others, we will be disrespected. Whatever we sow will produce a harvest that we reap, whether good or bad. We get to choose. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

January 25, 2022:  Set yourself apart from the things of the world to be holy and wholly devoted to Me, says the Lord. Arise to a new level of spiritual experience where you can hear My still small voice and see that which I am showing you. Now is the time for you to break free from generational assignments that have hindered your quality of life. Seek earnestly. Deuteronomy 5:9b-10 For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

January 24, 2022:  I beseech you to rise up in My strength by the power of your will. Refuse to give up when life becomes difficult. I am your strength and your shield, and your very present help in times of trouble. Access what I have provided and live beyond the limitations of your flesh to walk in My Spirit. Romans 6:19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

January 23, 2022:  You are entering a time when things that have been a concern to you will be brought to a conclusion. This is not a time to be afraid, but a time to look forward with hope and confidence that I will give you the direction and wisdom you desire. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

January 22, 2022:  Many of you, My people, have struggled and some have even been in the fight for your life. But I want you to know that I see and understand your difficulties, and I am with you to bring you through every battle. Look to Me for help. I will show you the way to victory. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

January 21, 2022:  Do not concern yourself with what other people are doing. They have free will to choose their own course of action whether you agree or not. It is enough for you to pay attention to your own behavior to make sure that you are walking in the light regardless of what is going on around you. Stay focused. 1 Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters.

January 20, 2022:  Instead of beating yourself up when you make a mistake or fall short of your expectations, learn from what you did or did not do, and forgive yourself. Move on and refuse to allow that incident to be a barrier between you and Me. Spiritual growth will be the result. Mark 11:26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.

January 19, 2022:  Align yourself with My will and purposes, and walk strong before Me. Refuse to be weakened and discouraged by what is going on around you. You can do nothing about other people and their interests and activities. Discouragement will destroy your faith. Joshua 1:9 This is my command, be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

January 18, 2022:  Be diligent to accomplish all that I have set before you. Procrastination is your enemy and will drag you down to a place where it will be difficult to move at all. Your willingness to do all that I have set before you in a timely fashion will reap great rewards. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

January 17, 2022:  Keep on keeping on. Do not lose hope. Your future does not exist in the world or things of the world. Your future exists in that which is eternal and unchanging. Set your heart on things above, not on things of the earth. Put your perspective in order. Colossians 3:1-4 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

January 16, 2022:  Even though your life seems to be transitional, begin to think of the steps you take as foundational. Do not believe that your thoughts, words, and actions are unimportant. What you do now will actually frame and give meaning to your future. Give thought and consider carefully what is happening in and around you and respond according to the leading of My Spirit. Deuteronomy 11:24a Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours.

January 15, 2022:  Do not allow the evil in the world to invade your mind and spirit. Set your heart to be righteous and pleasing in My sight. I will help you overcome the temptations to do wickedly. Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

January 14, 2022:  In a vision I saw the face of a clock, and I could hear it ticking. I would turn away and look back at the time, which had barely advanced. And, the Lord said that it may seem like time is almost standing still because you are so anxious to get moving, but it is not yet time to make significant progress; it is a time of transition and waiting. Some of My people are bored. Some feel aimless because this transitional time has not made a way for the next thing. Seek contentment because I will show you things internally that must be dealt with right now so that you do not carry them with you into the future. James 5:7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

January 13, 2022:  In a vision I saw an old wooden water wheel that was generating power. And I heard the Lord say that when we submit ourselves to Him, we will be empowered to do all that He has called us to do. We are instruments of His power and purposes on the earth. Let us make ourselves available to Him to use as He wills. Psalm 31:24 So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!

January 12, 2022:  When those around you do not treat you well, check yourself to see how you treat them. Are you abrupt and brusque, self-centered, and critical? Or, are you kind, considerate and loving? You will receive what you give. Proverbs 11:24-25 Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

January 11, 2022:  Beloved, separate yourself from activities and people who drag you down. I am beckoning to you to come up higher in the Spirit to seek My face and live in My glory. Be done with low living and meager expectations. All that I am and all that I have is available to you. Seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened. 2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.

January 10, 2022:  In a dream I found myself becoming lazy and not willing to put forth the effort that was required of me to accomplish what I have been given to do. Then, I saw Jesus giving everything He had to fulfill His destiny and to make a way for me to fulfill mine. When I awoke, I repented for trying to take the easy way out and vowed to stop griping or complaining. I wonder how many of us need to reconsider the price He paid? John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

January 9, 2022:  When you are uncertain and in a quandary about what to do, quiet your soul and come before Me. Ask for direction and I will give it. Ask for peace and I will provide it. Come in faith and be assured that you are not alone. Seek Me and you will find Me. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

January 8, 2022:  Never stop striving for spiritual perfection. It is easier than you think when you set yourself to live and walk in the Spirit. It is My Spirit in you that achieves righteousness, peace, and joy. There is no better way to live than that. Enjoy the fruit of being one with Me. Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

January 7, 2022:  Rise up and stand strong. Refuse to allow the powers of darkness to keep you down. I have given you authority over all the works of the enemy. Use that authority against everything that is destructive and corrupt. You belong to Me; live like you believe it. James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

January 6, 2022:  Have faith in Me and refuse to live in fear and trepidation. Dread will steal your sense of well being and clutter your life with futility. You can trust Me to bring you through every difficulty and challenge, so be done with useless imaginings and stand strong in faith. Ephesians 4:17-19 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

January 5, 2022:  Resolve to be the best you can be, and strive for that position. I am with you to help you achieve your utmost in spirit, soul, and body. I will lift you up from the darkest depths and take you to the mountain tops if you will only believe. Luke 1:37 For with God nothing will be impossible.

January 4, 2022:  In the face of adversity you will have opportunities to stand more solidly on faith and the Word, which will produce spiritual growth. Do not despise the challenges you face. Rather see them as stepping stones to mature in your relationship with Me. This is a sacred time to be dedicated to unselfish worship. John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

January 3, 2022:  You have made some progress, but you must continue to press on until you have complete breakthrough. Be diligent, and continue to seek My face for fresh revelation and spiritual insight. Growth is a sure sign of life. Stir up your desire and reach beyond where you are now. You have much to give and much to do, but you must realize that accomplishment comes in small increments. Consistent small steps will result in covering a lot of ground. Do not get discouraged with what will seem like slow progress. Just keep moving. Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

January 2, 2022:  Simplicity is a place of strength. When things get too complicated you lose concentration, and you could even lose sight of purpose. Just get down to basics, the essence of who you are and what you must do to express yourself honestly, clearly and understandably. Refuse to allow things in your life to get too complex or tangled. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

January 1, 2022:  Move with the times and go with the flow of change. Adjust your expectations and your work flow when necessary to accommodate current conditions. Always seek Me for wisdom before you press on. I would have you walk and live in the Spirit. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
