SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

OCTOBER 2024

October 30, 2024: Check yourself and see if I am still your first love, says the Lord. Do you continue to have a zeal to live your life serving Me, or have you made prayer another chore? It is time to stir yourself up and renew your fervor to have real relationship with Me instead of your service being just a habit. Hebrews 10:22-23 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

October 29, 2024: In a dream I was preparing for a wedding. It was never clear who was getting married, but the preparations were not in a building, but rather in a beautiful mountain meadow with a stream of water running through it and beautiful wild flowers. People from all over the countryside were beginning to gather in the excitement of preparation. I was trying to come up with an estimate of the amount of food that would be necessary for the event. Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

October 28, 2024: This is a good time to take inventory of where you are in life, what you believe, what is important to your ability to thrive, and what your goals are. Only then can you adjust your daily life to fit your needs and desires. And, do not forget to factor in your relationship to Me, says the Lord. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

October 27, 2024: Position yourself for a new beginning that will follow the changes over the last months that have brought you to a place of order and in alignment with My plans and purposes. Yield at this time to the moving of My Spirit as I bring you out of a spiritual desert. And, trust Me with your life, purpose, and destiny, says the Lord. You are embarking on a new day!Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

October 26, 2024: Stand firm on what you know to be true in this season of conjecture. Keep your focus on what is right and good, and make the best of the time you have today. Be kind and maintain a generous heart towards your fellow human beings, says the Lord, and you will be rewarded. Proverbs 11:25 The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

October 25, 2024: Being off-balance mentally and emotionally is often the result of having your routine interrupted or having to deal with some kind of trauma. Go back to that which is familiar and reset. Come into My presence, for I am the same yesterday, today, and forever, says the Lord. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

October 24, 2024: When you endure a difficult time, you need to reset by reminding yourself of where you are, who you are, and what is important to you. Reestablish your relationship to Me, says the Lord, for I will set you on the solid rock of faith and endurance. Your strength in life depends on your spiritual connection. Be strong. 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.

October 23, 2024: Leave the past in the past. It does no good to recount your sins. You have repented, and the blood of Christ has covered you. You have been washed clean by His blood. Be done with self-loathing. Take your rightful place as a precious child of God, and accept His forgiveness. Psalm 32:1-2 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

October 22, 2024: You are entering a phase of simplicity, if you will accept it. There are things that you can eliminate from the list of demands on your time and energy that will result in clarity of purpose and strength of resolve to eliminate that which is unnecessary. This is a time to simplify and fortify. 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.

October 21, 2024: Set your mind on things above instead of worrying about what is ahead. You do not know what tomorrow or next week or next year will bring. Even your best guess is conjecture. Stay current, and the day will unfold as it will. Take it as it comes with a sense of faith and clarity, says the Lord. Matthew 6:33-34 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

October 20, 2024: Before the new season begins in earnest, it would be good for you to evaluate and make necessary changes to that which is not working effectively. The corrections will tend to be small adjustments rather than large, sweeping revisions. Be sensitive to the leading of My Spirit to show you exactly what requires your attention at this time, says the Lord. Proverbs 10:17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses correction goes astray.

October 19, 2024: Whenever you get discombobulated do not panic. Quiet your soul, and come into My presence, says the Lord. Being alarmed will not help, but will only make things worse. Allow these days to be a time of quiet contemplation and discernment. Psalm 62:1-2 Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.e October 18, 2024: Evaluate where you are physically, mentally, and emotionally so that you can make the changes that are necessary to your well-being. There are places of procrastination that will impede your progress both spiritually and naturally. Take yourself by the scruff of your neck and the seat of your pants and take the next step in doing what needs to be done. The result will be an astounding sense of freedom. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

October 17, 2024: See that you do not become weary of doing good even when you feel used and unrewarded. Set your heart to know that you do not need accolades for doing what you have been given to do. Just give it your all, and know that you will reap whatever you sow. Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

October 16, 2024: You can look back and reflect and regret the things you have done until you are exhausted. It will change nothing. You were not perfect then, and you will not be perfect today. But, you can put the past behind you, and set your heart to be the best version possible of yourself today. Seek Me for guidance and direction, says the Lord. Philippians 3:12-14 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. 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.

October 15, 2024: Take a deep breath. You have been here before and have gained the victory. This is no different. Set yourself to stay calm and do not doubt the breakthrough that is coming. Exercise quiet reserve and patience. Ecclesiastes 7:8 The end of a thing is better than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than a proud in spirit.

October 14, 2024: Be gentle with yourself. You need healing both emotionally and physically, and beating yourself up because you do not feel like you measure up will only be harmful. Give yourself to Me, says the Lord, and I will heal you and set you free. I will treat you with the utmost care. 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.

October 13, 2024: Stir yourself up and renew your faith. Yes, there have been disappointments and setbacks, but those things can serve to strengthen you spiritual resolve. It depends on whether you choose to be a victim or to rise up to be an overcomer. You can allow your past difficulties to anchor you where you are. Or, you can allow them to fuel the next phase of your destiny, says the Lord. Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

October 12, 2024: Refuse to allow the behavior of others to get you down, but rather have compassion and exercise understanding. These seem to be the days of criticism and measuring others according to your unspoken standards. This is a time to do unto others as you would have them do to you. Matthew 18:33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?

October 11, 2024: When those around you need encouragement, take the time and make the effort to lift them up and make sure they know that you care. Sometimes it only takes a kind word to make a difference. It will cost you nothing, but could mean everything to someone you encounter. Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christs have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

October 10, 2024: Perfect order brings perfect peace. Being out of order complicates every aspect of your being and doing. Take the time to recognize what you need to do to make changes that will not only simplify but fortify your life and purpose. And then, do it. You will be amazed by how small changes can make a big difference. 1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

October 9, 2024: There are things you can change and things you cannot change. Do not waste your time and energy on the impossible, but rather focus on what is possible and righteous. You can scream your head off, but if no one is listening, you might as well be silent. Prayer changes things. Psalm 139:1-4 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off, You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

October 8, 2024: There are things that you must forgive and forget in order to embrace the next leg of your journey. You must not get stuck in things that are trivial, but move on to embrace that which is consequential and necessary for spiritual growth. Never let your pride get in the way of holiness. 1 Peter 1:14-16 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: Be holy, because I am holy.

October 7, 2024: You might find that you have been defeated, but you are not destroyed. Continue to press through difficulties of this time with consistency and strength of will. Stay within the confines of what is spiritually and morally correct, and rely on supernatural help to gain the victory, says the Lord. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

October 6, 2024: Reset! It is time to recognize the need to start over. Wipe the slate clean and begin again by getting your priorities in order and doing what is important for this season. Everything in the past has brought you to this point in your life. Take stock of what you want to take with you into the next phase of your existence and what you want to leave behind, and then do it. Be brave and resolute. Isaiah 50:7 For the Lord God will help me; therefore I will not be disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed.

October 5, 2024: Count your blessings and be grateful. It is only by the grace of God that you can access His divine presence. Remember your first love, and His sacrifice that made turaeternal life available to you. Make your devotion to Jesus Christ your first priority every day. Only then will you truly prosper. Psalm 63:3-5 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

October 4, 2024: When you are faced with a task that is out of your wheelhouse and beyond the realm of your expertise, do not hesitate to ask for help. You will not be diminished in any way except that your ego might be bruised a bit. These are days of reality and humility that will undoubtedly produce spiritual growth. James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

October 3, 2024: When you get off course, take the time to get back into routine. It is routine that causes you to prosper spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. The enemy would love to get you into despair and confusion. Refuse to allow his intervention into your life and circumstances. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 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.

October 2, 2024: Be thankful, and pray for those less fortunate. Remember that you belong to Me, and it is only by grace that you have what you have and do what you do. Always keep Me in your thoughts and allow Me to direct your steps, says the Lord. There is much to be thankful for. Ephesians 5:18-21 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

October 1, 2024; When health issues continue to plague you, do not give up. Bolster your faith and seek Me earnestly for healing, says the Lord. Refuse to feel sorry for yourself, and never doubt My ability to perform miracles and to set you on the path of recovery. I am the God that heals. Psalm 30:1-2 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me.

SEPTEMBER 2024

September 30, 2024: There are long-standing issues that need resolution. It seems like it has been forever, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep pressing on, and do not lose hope or give up. Victory is near. Romans 5:1-4 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.

September 29, 2024: A call goes out to those who truly trust in Me and fulfill My purposes on the earth. I will bless those who wholeheartedly live a life of truth and righteousness; those who will represent honesty, justice and innocence in word and deed. Come, and allow your life to be an example of My goodness, says the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

September 28, 2024: You must leave the past behind you if you want to progress. You cannot live in the past or entertain past regrets and move ahead at the same time. You will do one or the other. It is My will for you to be the best version of yourself here and now, says the Lord. With My help you can do that. 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.

September 27, 2024: It is okay to look back and evaluate where you have been and what you have done, but you must not get stuck there. Endeavor to stay present with Me and with what I am doing in your life. There are lessons to be learned, goals to be attained, and things you will miss if you are not paying attention. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

September 26, 2024: I am taking you in a direction that seems unfamiliar and strange at times, so you must pay attention and not leap ahead before you are sure of where you are going, says the Lord. You will be dealing with situations that seem to be beyond your ability to deal with, but trust Me to lead and direct your steps. Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.

September 25, 2024: Count your blessings and be thankful for all that you are, all that you know, all that you do, and all that you have. Remember that you are nothing, know nothing, do nothing, and have nothing apart from Me, says the Lord. But, by My grace and empowerment, you are able to enjoy blessings beyond imagination. Psalm 103:1-2 Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

September 24, 2024: Take the time to evaluate where you are in life and what you need to do next to fulfill your commitments. Your tendency is to do nothing, but there are still things that need to be done, both physically and spiritually. Ask for wisdom and direction when it feels like you are stuck right here. 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.

September 23, 2024: You have had a long row to hoe, but you will begin to see the results of your efforts and be able to move on. Things that have been out of balance or difficult to find closure will now become a part of your personal history. Take a deep breath, and look to Me for the next step, says the Lord. I will show you the way. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

September 22, 2024: Do what it takes to maintain life in the Spirit. Only then will you have the power to overcome the flesh and the works of the enemy. Set yourself to be spiritually aware and to keep your heart right with Me, says the Lord. Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

September 21, 2024: When you are going through a difficult time, do not stop. Keep moving. Keep forging ahead even when it seems like you are moving at a snail pace. Never doubt that I am with you and that I am your very present help in times of trouble. Be strong and unwavering. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

September 20, 2024: Quiet your soul. Refuse to overreact to your circumstances. What you have been going through was momentary and not a dreadful trend. You will come through this time with greater understanding and resolve. You have been tested and found to be worthy, says the Lord. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

September 19, 2024: The word for the day is patient continuance. You are making progress, but you are not there yet. Keep the faith, and do not lose hope that you will break through. The adjustments in your life are not yet finished. You are still coming into perfect and divine balance, says the Lord. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

September 18, 2024: This is a turn-around day. The areas of your life that have been a struggle can now be put behind you, and you will be able to make significant progress in moving ahead. Your faith and diligence will begin to pay off. The last thing you should do is give up before you have reached your goal. 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.

September 17, 2024: In the strength of your will you can rise up out of the dead ashes of the past to embrace a new day with hope and courage. Today is a new day. Begin by finding your place of peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Be renewed and refreshed in My presence, says the Lord. 2 Timothy 1:1 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

September 16, 2024: There is a spirit of fear being loosed on the whole world. Do not succumb to this attack. When you feel anxious, quiet your soul, and be pragmatic in making decisions before you forge ahead. Seek God for wisdom, quietly evaluate your options, and then do what is best for you to do. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

September 15, 2024: Make every effort to walk in righteousness. There is a world-wide epidemic of lunacy, but you must stay on the path of life that is becoming increasingly narrow. Stay connected to Me, says the Lord, and allow My Spirit to keep you in a place of truth and sincerity. You are indeed living in the days of the great falling away. 2Thessalonians 2:3: Let no one deceive you by any means; for there shall come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition".

September 14, 2024: You have been through a rough patch, but I say to you: Hang in there, keep the faith, the end of your suffering is near. Be sensitive to My leading, and do what I show you to do. Fear and dread only make things worse, so keep a positive attitude and look with hope to the future, says the Lord. Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

September 13, 2024: If you encounter an unpleasant surprise, stay calm and do what you can to get past it. You will have to dig deep to find the strength and resolve to deal with what seems like adding insult to injury, but you are well able to survive and even thrive. Keep your faith in Me to bring you through every circumstance, says the Lord. Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

September 12, 2024: For those who have been suffering with seemingly no way out, your redemption is near. You will soon be able to break through into new territory that will manifest physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Stay focused on the truth and promises of My word, says the Lord. 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.

September 11, 2024: You have made such good plans, but some of them have not worked out. That is because they were based on what you imagine instead of reality. Begin again with what you know is right and true. You cannot predict how others will respond or fit in with your wishes or desires, so the only plans that really work are those which have to do with you as you endeavor to live and walk in the Spirit.Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

September 10, 2024: These are days when it will be necessary to find a place of spiritual stability where you know absolutely and without a doubt that you belong to Me, says the Lord, and that I will lead, guide, and direct your steps. Release yourself from all doubt and fear, and put your trust completely in Me. 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

September 9, 2024: Take charge of your spiritual life, and fight hard against the wiles of the devil. He is an invader and a liar. His aim is to take you off course by creating fear, doubt, and unbelief. It is time to rise up in the Spirit and take your rightful position in the kingdom of God where you can find peace, joy and love. 1 John 2:4 He who says, I know Him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him.

September 8, 2024: Long standing wounds, both mentally and physically, will begin a healing process that will set you free from your agony. Believe it and receive it, says the Lord. You are not alone in your suffering. I am with you always. Psalm 139:7-10 Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.

September 7, 2024: Be still and know that I will give you the wisdom and direction needed for the next step in your journey. You will be made aware of solutions to difficult problems and be able to move on. Position yourself to be sensitive to the moving of My Spirit, says the Lord. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

September 6, 2024: Change is on the horizon. Do not try to force change; just let it come. It will be nothing to worry about or lose sleep over. Stay focused and solid in your relationship with Me, says the Lord. Maintain spiritual diligence. Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what the will of God is--His good, pleasing and perfect will.

September 5, 2024: Find a place of serenity for your soul. The world around you is hectic and can affect your sense of peace and calm. You must deliberately choose to not allow your environment to trouble you. Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:9-10 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. He says: Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

September 4, 2024: It is time to reset and consider how you spend your time and energy. There are things you can do to maximize your effectiveness without overlooking things that are vital for your well being. It will require some planning before you forge ahead. Lean on Me for wisdom, says the Lord. 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.

September 3, 2024: Many of you, My people, feel worn out and exhausted. You must rest to be rejuvenated, and take the time to come into My presence for spiritual restoration. You have given of yourself, and now it is time to receive and be refreshed and renewed, says the Lord. Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

September 2, 2024: To those who are worried about what the future holds, you are wasting your time and energy. You need to stay focused on what you are facing today, and ask for wisdom for where you are now. I am with you here and will be with you in the future. I will both shut old doors and open new ones. Trust Me, 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.

September 1, 2024: When things become too difficult, take the time to see how you can streamline your activities to make things easier on yourself and still fulfill your obligations. It is not good for you to live your life being overwhelmed. You need to find ways to release the stress and get your necessary rest. Matthew 11:28 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.

AUGUST 2024

August 31, 2024: These are days of evaluation, when you can review what is behind you in order to plan for what is ahead of you. Do this so that you can make informed decisions about how to proceed. But above all, seek My face for wisdom and direction, says the Lord. You can trust Me to direct your steps. Proverbs 16:9 The heart of a man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps.

August 30, 2024: This is a good time to tie up loose ends, to make good on your intentions and promises and to take care of issues where you have continued to procrastinate. This will help you go into the next season with a clean slate and the ability to move on unhindered. You will be glad you did. Proverbs 15:19 The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the upright is a highway.

August 29, 2024: Exercise compassion for those in need. If there are things you can do to ease the burden, do so. You will be sowing seeds that will yield a harvest for you when you need help. 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.

August 28, 2024: When you feel spiritually like a tortoise in the desert, look to Me. I am your place of renewal and refreshment. Come to Me to be revitalized. Behold, I will do a new thing, so that you will know that I am with you, says the Lord. Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

August 27, 2024: Refuse to get stuck in trying to guess what the future will bring, and what you might have to do. Conjecture is not truth. Take every day as it comes and do the best you can with current circumstances. 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 26, 2024: Do not give in to self-degradation and under estimating your ability to do all that is necessary in this season. I have called you and chosen you for such a time as this, but you must position yourself to cooperate with My leading, says the Lord. As long as you believe you are not worthy or up to the task, you will not fulfill your destiny. All you have to do is believe that you can do all things that I set before you. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

August 25, 2024: We are not of this world nor partakers of division. We are citizens of the Kingdom of God. Our allegiance is to the King of kings and Lord of lords. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

August 24, 2024: This is a time to reevaluate the use of your energy and to streamline your activities so that you can be more efficient. There are things you do by force of habit that are no longer relevant to your existence. Let go of those things so that you can move forward unhindered. 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 23, 2024: You can expect your life to smooth out and not be as hectic as it has been. You will find simple solutions to difficult problems and be able to carry out assignments that have seemed to be beyond your ability handle. I have indeed gone before you to make crooked places straight, says the Lord. Isaiah 45:2-3 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. 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.

August 22, 2024: Refuse to spend your valuable time on regrets and wishing you had made better choices or lived your life with greater integrity or loved and been loved more completely. Begin again today with better choices and love in your heart for those around you. You are still alive and can still make a difference. John 15:12-13 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down your life for your friends.

August 21, 2024: When you feel lost and not yourself, be assured that this is a transitional phase. I am still the King of kings and the Lord of lords, and I hold you in the hollow of My hand. Nothing in your life goes unnoticed. Never doubt My desire and ability to bring you through every challenge. Keep the faith and stay strong, says the Lord. Isaiah 49:15-16 Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.

August 20, 2024: I keep hearing the lyrics of an old song--pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. It is indeed good advice for these days. Let today be a new day and a new beginning. Leave the past behind, and look with hope to the future. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

August 19, 2024: Your breakthrough is coming slowly but surely, minute by minute, one day at a time. Do not discount the progress that you are making, no matter how small it seems. You will soon look back and be amazed at how far you have come, says the Lord. 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.

August 18, 2024: Press through the darkness, and resist the work of degradation against you. Continue to push until your existence is found in My kingdom where trust and righteousness prevail. This is a matter of where you invest your time, energy, thoughts, emotions, and will. You do not have to subject yourself to the work of the enemy even when it seems to be pervasive, says the Lord. Romans 13:11-14 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. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore case off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in licentiousness and lewdness, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

August 17, 2024: Breakthrough for you will come as a trickling stream instead of a roaring river. Your proverbial mantra will be: slow and steady, slow and steady. Take life as it comes; you cannot rush it. There are lessons to be learned that will be of great benefit in moving forward. Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

August 16, 2024: When you are worn out with fear and worry, remember that I am with you to show you the way out of the darkness into My glorious light. 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 15, 2024: Be patient and remain diligent. The issues you have been dealing with seem to have no resolution, but you are making progress. Do not give up or lose hope, but rather keep your faith strong. You will be refreshed and renewed by the power of My Spirit, says the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

August 14, 2024: There are things you do and think that are no longer relevant to who you have become. Set yourself to embrace where you are instead of where you have been. You are being renewed day by day to become the best version of yourself possible. Put the past behind you and step into the new you. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

August 13, 2024: Set your heart and mind to do good in all things. Even then you may have some regrets, but you will know that you did the best you could. The enemy of your soul will always seek to keep you in the bondage of condemnation, but he is a liar and the father of lies. Walk in truth and peace. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.

August 12, 2024: Many of you, My people, are still nursing wounds from the past. And, I tell you honestly that those wounds are healing. It will not be long before you can put the pain behind you and rise up in health and strength physically, emotionally and mentally. You are entering a season of restoration. Isaiah 58:8 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.

August 11, 2024: I speak to those who have a tendency to judge and criticize people around you. Be aware that if you are critical you will be criticized. It is a product of the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. If you do not want to be judged, you must be willing to overlook what you consider to be flaws in others and know that I love them as I love you, says the Lord. Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged.

August 10, 2024: The things you have been concerned about will begin to slowly but surely be resolved. Do not expect overnight success, however. Be strong and take an even strain. You will need to exercise patience, but you can and will get through this. 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, 2024: It seems like you have been through a rough patch, and actually things have been more complicated and difficult, but you are coming through by the direction and power of My Spirit. Do not underestimate My involvement in your life and circumstances. I am with you always. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said: I will never leave you nor forsake you.

August 8, 2024: You can make plans for the future, but you must hold them loosely. You do not know what tomorrow will bring, but you can trust Me to usher you into every new day and give you the strength, wisdom and courage to endure. Take each moment as it comes as you seek Me for guidance and direction, 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 7, 2024: Refuse to allow past failures and regrets to create a state of condemnation and self-loathing. Today is a new day and a new opportunity to move forward and do the best you can right here and right now. You cannot change the past, but you can do your best with where you are today and with what you have to do. 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.

August 6, 2024: It is time to resolve old issues. Do what you can to get to the bottom of the problem and seek Me for a solution, says the Lord. Then take the necessary steps to bring resolution. 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.

August 5, 2024: Refuse to allow your mind to find things to worry about instead of putting your faith in Me to bring you through every challenge, says the Lord. Worry will get you nowhere except to undermine your faith. Ephesians 6:10-12 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

August 4, 2024: I see your waffling, not knowing what to do. Settle the issues today, once and for all. Have I not been with you in times when change brought about order? It was I who brought about the circumstances that required change that resulted in divine order. Let your faith rest in the assurance that nothing escapes My notice, and when you call for help I am there to give wisdom and direction. Jeremiah 33:3 Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

August 3, 2024: Set yourself and take a stance against all that would take you down. I am with you to build you up and give you hope, not to reduce you to tears of hopelessness, says the Lord. I am your help in trouble, your shelter in the storm, and your light in darkness. Know that 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.

August 2, 2024: To those who feel like you have been run through the mill in recent days and months, you are entering a season of restoration. It will seem to be slow at first, but then there will be a rapid progression of healing physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In the meantime, take your rest. Isaiah 58:8 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.

August 1, 2024: It is good to remind yourself of who you are, what you have been given to be and to do, and to be thankful that you belong to Me, says the Lord. A grateful heart is one who is blessed. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

JULY 2024

July 31, 2024: Stand strong. Refuse to allow circumstances and the lies of the enemy to bring discouragement. Seek eternal truth and pursue it. Continue to walk in the light instead of allowing the darkness of the world to take you down. The truth of My love for you will always prevail, says the Lord. 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.

July 30, 2024: You must stand firm, endure and press on. There are still mountains to climb and hurdles to jump, but I have given you the will and the ability to keep going, says the Lord. Let the truth of My Word give you the strength to overcome. Never doubt My presence in your life and circumstances. I am with you. Psalm 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

July 29, 2024: Even though you are breaking through in some areas of your life, you will have to persevere to gain the victory. There will be solutions to problems that have seemed insurmountable, but you must continue to press through this difficult time, says the Lord. I will give you the strength and ingenuity to succeed. 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 28, 2024: There are challenges that you must work your way through, but it is My desire that you confront those issues without getting into conflict. Refuse to play the blame game, but rather seek to find what it is in yourself that needs to be brought into divine order. Only through maintaining peace will you gain the understanding necessary to overcome. Titus 3:9-11 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and striving about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning being self-condemned.

July 27, 2024: In a vision I saw a chick pipping through the egg in its first step of hatching. I believe this was the first sign of breaking through the confines of situations that have restricted our progress. This is a time of encouragement to take the next step in breaking through to new spiritual heights. Be bold, be brave, for the Lord is with you. Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.

July 26, 2024: This is a time when you can find solutions to difficult problems, and get help where needed. Listen for My still small voice as I give you wisdom and show you the way, says the Lord. This is not a time to give up and resign yourself to accepting situations that are not ideal. Help is on the way. 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

July 25, 2024: Those of you, My people, who have been through trying times, I tell you that your wounds (both spiritually and naturally) will heal. Pick yourself up and prepare to move on. You have learned valuable lessons and have become stronger than you ever thought possible. Put the past behind you; there are good things ahead, says the Lord. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

July 24, 2024: When things seem to go wrong, it is not necessarily your fault. Go easy on yourself even if you have some culpability. There is always an element of time and chance, so make the best of your circumstance, and put your faith in Me to bring your through trying times, says the Lord. Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned and saw under the sun that--the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

July 23, 2024: You can now deal with issues that have been left unattended, but you will need wisdom. You are not without help. Ask, and I will show you the way. Insights that have seemed to escape you will be readily available, says the Lord. Quiet your trepidation and fear of failure, and put your faith in Me. Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

July 22, 2024: This is a time when you can bring to a conclusion things that have been a bother or concern. The door will be opened to deal with issues that have seemed to be insurmountable. Do not hesitate to take the next step; it will be one step at a time in putting things in order, says the Lord. Put your trust in Me. 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 21, 2024: In a vision I saw a huge rock that had been chiseled to be perfectly square; it was as high as it was wide and long. And, the Lord said: I am the Rock on which you must live. My word is your foundation. It is strong, immovable, and eternal. It represents your moral and spiritual ethic, and I am establishing that same ethic in those who have strayed from spiritual truth and righteousness. I will bring them back to that solid foundation. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

July 20, 2024: You have turned a page in your life, and the door has opened for you to move forward. It is a time of reflection when you can see who you really are, to correct mistakes, make amends, and become the person you are truly designed to be. You cannot change the past, but you can set your sights on righteousness, peace and joy, says the Lord. Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

July 19, 2924: The issues you have faced over the past months will begin to be resolved. Do not underestimate the seriousness of what you have endured, but now is the time to rise above it. Take the next step, and move on with renewed strength and hope. Psalm 113:2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!

July 18, 2024: Seek to walk in the light of life. Darkness is so easy to slip into when you are facing challenges, but you must remember that you are a spiritual being. You can rise above all that tries to keep you down. All you have to do is realize this truth and make a decision to be all you can be in Me, says the Lord. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.

July 17, 2024: You have been coping with unresolved issues, and you need to be reminded that those issues will not last forever. I am with you to give you the strength and courage to endure. You will learn valuable lessons from your current circumstances that will last a lifetime. Your faith will endure, says the Lord. Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

July 16, 2024: Watch for the temptation to be discouraged and receive unwarranted criticism. Know that you are My own special treasure, and disparaging words are not from Me, says the Lord. The correction that I bring will not result in despair, but will give hope for newness of life and an opportunity to grow spiritually. Galatians 5:22-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

July 15, 2024: Hold your plans loosely with an open hand. There will be unforeseen circumstances that will altar your course of action. But, know that this change will be in your best interests in the long run. Trust Me to bring you through in perfect and divine order, says the Lord. 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.

July 14, 2024: 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 if actions and understanding necessary to this vital process of spiritual growth. A closer walk with Me will require you to 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 13, 2024: A spiritual portal is opening to reveal the path to achieving that which has been otherwise impossible. I will open an avenue of possibility that will serve your purpose and make your goal achievable. All you have to do is follow My leading and hold on to faith that I can do what you cannot. Be strong and resolute, says the Lord. Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them: With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

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.

July 11, 2024: I woke up this morning with the old song lyrics: Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, do not mess with Mr. Inbetween. I believe God is speaking to us to choose to have a good outlook on life and to do the best we can with what we have been given. Let faith rule. 2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

July 10, 2024: When you get overwhelmed with all that needs to be done, quiet your soul and find a place of peace where you can take one thing at a time. Lean on Me, says the Lord, for direction and guidance. Refuse to allow fear of failure to engulf you. I am with you to show you the way. 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 9, 2024: The key phrase for this time in your life will be patient continuance. Do your best to stay on track, and seek to always be in the flow of My Spirit, says the Lord. Life will not be without challenges, but neither will you be without solutions. I will give you the strength and ability to overcome every obstacle. Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry.

July 8, 2024: Even when situations and circumstances do not produce the outcome you expected, do not become discouraged and lose hope. There are other avenues you can take that will produce a different but better result than you were looking for. Be flexible as you pay attention to the leading of My Spirit, says 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.

July 7, 2024: 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 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 6, 2024: Set your heart on spiritual excellence. You can do this by not being distracted with things of the world. There are many things that vie for your attention, so you must stay focused on what really matters in the long run. Be strong, and stay on course, says the Lord. Psalm 119:1-3 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart! They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.

July 5, 2024: Even though you have endured some disappointments, know that I have not left nor forsaken you. You have been under My divine protection the whole time, and you will understand that those things that did not work out as you planned were points of correction. Stand firm in the knowledge that you are in divine order, says the Lord. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

July 4, 2024: When you are at an intersection of life and do not know how to proceed, you must quiet your soul and seek divine direction. You need wisdom before you launch out for the sake of moving forward. You do not have all of the facts necessary to make an informed decision. Wait until you have more information, says the Lord. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!

July 3, 2024: Come into rest from all your busyness. Reflect on what has been good and bad so that you can streamline your efforts for greater effectiveness and efficiency. You are entering a new season that will require leaving the past behind with all of its trials and tribulations. It is time to focus on where you are spiritually and begin to draw nearer to Me, says the Lord. I am as close to you as your breath. Psalm 145:18-19 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.

July 2, 2024: At this time many of you, My people, are bringing things to a conclusion. You will need to tie up loose ends at this juncture so that you can move on. Go forward with a clean slate as you leave the past behind and reach for the next goal both spiritually and naturally. Be strong and of good courage. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

July 1, 2024: Breakthrough is imminent and will come like a flash of lightning, powerful and bright. You are on the cusp of renewed freedom and spiritual clarity. You can now leave the past behind once and for all and begin to move into the realm of glory, says the Lord. Let freedom reign. 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.

JUNE 2024

June 30, 2024: The storms that come against your spiritual house are from the enemy who is always trying to tear down your dwelling place in Christ. Rise up and resist that evil work and overcome. James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

June 29, 2024: When it seems like you can get nothing done, have patience and take everything as it comes. Refuse to focus on things that have no eternal value. Do not give yourself to frustration and self-recrimination. Depend on Me to shine a light on the path that leads to spiritual growth and development, says the Lord. Romans 2:6-7 (God) will render to each one according to his deeds: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality.

June 28, 2024: The difficulties of the past few months will begin to subside as you get into the rhythm of this new season. You have had to endure many things that were outside of your so-called wheelhouse. The downside of what you have had to do was stress. The upside is that you have more knowledge and have dealt with things that would have been a stumbling block in the future. Now you can take some time to relax. 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.

June 27, 2024: Be still. Settle your soul and your spirit so that you can rest in My presence. Let go of all worry, strife and contention. There are things you can do something about, so do that. But, there are things beyond your control that you need to release in faith knowing that you will have the wisdom and ability to do all that has been set before you, says the Lord. Rest in Me. Hebrews 4:9-11a There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest.

June 26, 2024: You are progressing nicely, but you still have a ways to go. I will send the help and provision you need to succeed. Be strong and of good courage, and never lose hope or allow your faith to lag. I am with you always, says the Lord. Matthew 17:20b If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

June 25, 2024: I have equipped you and enabled you to do all that is necessary in this season. But, you must believe that I am with you, and that I am your very present help, says the Lord. Lean on Me instead of trying to go it alone. Find your strength in Me to deal with issues that seem insurmountable. 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

June 24, 2024: You are coming through this difficult time, but you are not there yet. Do not get discouraged in this process. It is a time of intense spiritual growth and understanding. You will look back on this season as one of maturation and of making important decisions that will position you for the next leg of your journey onward and upward, says the Lord. 2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

June 23, 2024: Refuse to allow yourself to get stuck right here. I speak of stagnation spiritually, mentally, or emotionally. Take advantage of every opportunity to be motivated. Consider your options and choose to start moving in the right direction. Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

June 22, 2024: It is time to get everything in order that you possibly can. This is not only for your peace of mind, but for your general well-being. The pieces of your life that look like a jigsaw puzzle can now come together to form an entire picture. But, it will take concentrated effort on your part. 1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

June 21, 2024: Just like David and Goliath, your breakthrough is going to be huge. You are inching closer every day. Trust Me to direct every step so that you will achieve your goal and step into a new level of reality. You will look back on this time as epic, says the Lord. Samuel 17:45-46a Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand.

June 20, 2024: The decisions you make now will have extraordinary impact on the outcome of your life going forward. Seek divine wisdom and make sure that your motives are righteous, says the Lord. Do nothing apart from My leading, and you will stay on track. 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.

June 19, 2024: There have been key people in your life that have had a positive influence on you. Rejoice in the help along the way, and refuse to be critical of those who created a stumbling block. No one is above reproach. Your gratitude toward others is a springboard to your relationship with Me, says the Lord.Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

June 18, 2024: The difficulties that you are facing will begin to sort themselves out. But, you must be patient. It could take more time than you anticipate. Just know that you are on the right track. Impatience will only slow your progress and cause frustration. Stay calm and focused as you place your trust and hope in Me, says the Lord. I am well able to bring you through. Romans 12:11-12 ...not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer.

June 17, 2024: There are issues that need attention, but you have not taken the next step. This is a time to quiet all fear and dread, and seek Me for the solution, says the Lord. I will show you the way so that you can proceed in confidence. Actually you already know what you must do, but you have been hesitant. 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.

June 16, 2024: Many of you, My children, are caught in the throes of division and mired in disagreements and disunity instead of seeking peace. I want you to remember that I have no favorites. When you are one with Me, walking with Me, and having My mind, you will seek to be at peace. Put aside prejudice and pride, and walk in the strength of My Spirit, says the Lord. And, love will overcome hatred. 1 Timothy 5:21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

June 15, 2024: There are things you can do to help yourself and others that you are only vaguely aware of. Quiet your soul and allow truth to come so that you can see the path you must take. You are never alone; I am with you always, says the Lord. I will light your path. Psalm 119:105-106 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments.

June 14, 2024: Stop worrying and take action. There are solutions to your problems, but you have to decide the best course of action. Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Be brave, be strong, and take the first step. Fear and laziness are your enemies. Just do what needs to be done. Psalm 9:9-10 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

June 13, 2024: Continue to strive to be the best you can be. Use your defeats as a springboard to better understanding, and use your victories to encourage yourself. Use this time of extremes for self-examination in order to streamline your efforts. Believe it or not you are making progress. Philippians 3:15-16 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

June 12, 2024: You have gained momentum and are making progress. Keep moving forward, and refuse to allow anything to hold you back. I am your very present help in these times, says the Lord. Keep your chin up, and refuse to get overwhelmed. Remember, one step at a time; one day at a time. 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

June 11, 2024: You are concerned about many things, most of which are completely out of your control. I would have you be at peace, knowing that I am God who hears your prayers and supplications. Yours is not so much to do as to believe that I am with you and for you. Never doubt My presence and ability to undertake on your behalf, says the Lord. John 20:29 Jesus said to him: Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.

June 10, 2024: Change is in the air, which will give you a chance to adjust and deal with things you have put off. It will be a season of cleansing and purification that will produce a level of freedom you have not experienced for some time. This will be a golden opportunity to purge or get rid of that which is impure or undesirable in yourself and in your surroundings. Go forth in the confidence that I am with you always, says the Lord. Matthew 28:20b And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.

June 9, 2024: Walk in the light of life in the Spirit. I hear your cries for revival, and yet you often feed on that which brings spiritual death. You set your mind and thoughts on things that tie you to the world and deplete your vitality. Rise up now and seek to be established in new life and power that only comes through relationship with Me, says the Lord. Then you will be revived. Ephesians 5:14 Therefore He says: Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.

June 8, 2024: You are making progress even though it seems like one inch at a time. Do not get discouraged when you feel you are moving at a snail pace. Stay focused on things that really matter, especially in the realm of the spirit. Lean on Me, says the Lord, and trust Me to be with you all the way. 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.

June 7, 2024: Procrastination is your enemy and will result in regret. There are things you must deal with or suffer the consequences. There is nothing to gain by putting off for tomorrow the things you should do today. Refuse to allow your flesh to override righteousness in the Spirit. Obedience to My leading will result in peace and protection, says the Lord. 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.

June 6, 2024: I have given you the strength and endurance to face every challenge that comes your way, says the Lord. All you have to do is rise above fear and dread in the confidence that you can do all that is necessary. This will require a reset in your thinking. It is a time to rise above the doubt and condemnation that comes against you. The enemy of your soul will do everything possible to keep you down, but I will do everything possible to raise you up. Ephesians 6:11-13 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 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.

June 5, 2024: Never fear. I will show you the way to resolve every issue that seems beyond your ability to solve. When you get afraid, remember the times that I have rescued you and set you on the right path again, and access that level of faith. Refuse to allow difficulties to become a road block instead of a detour. 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.

June 4, 2024: You will have breakthrough in places that you have not considered to be significant until now. It will be circumstances that you believe you have no control over or that you have learned to live with. But, I would have you be free of all hindrances that keep you from thriving spiritually, says the Lord. Freedom awaits! 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.

June 3, 2024: This is a time when you can receive revelation and understanding of things that have been unclear. But, you must set yourself in a position to receive by quieting your soul and listening for My still small voice. What you glean from this revelation will set you free, says the Lord. John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

June 2, 2024: Many of you are exhausted from a relentless onslaught that kept you from thriving. You must come away from all the noise and seek solace in My presence, says the Lord. Come and be revived and rejuvenated, be at peace. 1 Peter 3:11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.

June 1, 2024: You are on the cusp of making decisions that will alter your life in dramatic ways. Take your time and be sure that what you are planning will be in your best interest in the long run. This time in your life is pivotal and can either be of great benefit or potential disaster. Position yourself to be led by My Spirit, says the Lord. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

MAY 2024

May 31, 2024: Things that have had you tied up in knots will finally unravel, and you will know more completely where you are in the scheme of things and how you fit with your environment. I will release a sense of relief and comfort as you step out in new emotional and mental territory. This is a new day. Colossians 3:17: And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

May 30, 2024: Even though your breakthrough is not necessarily what you wanted or expected, it is a new beginning. What is behind you is in the past, and you will have opportunities to forge ahead in unexpected ways. Continue on with the understanding that I will never leave you nor forsake you, says the Lord. Be strong and unwavering. Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said: I will never leave you nor forsake you. The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me? May 29, 2024: You are stepping into a time of renewal when solving problems will be easier than it has been. Listen for My still small voice to guide you and give you wisdom. Stay focused and deal with one thing at a time so that you do not get overwhelmed. Be righteous, says the Lord. Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

May 28, 2024: Watch for circumstances that cause you to feel helpless and not equipped to handle. Refuse to dump down in despair and helplessness. Rise up to your potential in Me, says the Lord. Remind yourself that you belong to Me, and that you can do all things that have been given to you when you trust Me to bring you through. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

May 27, 2024: Check yourself and make sure that you are being kind to everyone, especially those who are closest to you. Your love must be genuine and unselfish. You reap what you sow. If your love is genuine and not just about you and your needs, it will be multiplied back to you. Be generous in your thoughts and actions, says the Lord. Proverbs 10:11-12 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

May 26, 2024: Be alert and pay attention to the small things. Knowing the details will make all the difference at this time and can be extremely important to the outcome of situations you encounter. Exercise your discernment so that you can avoid costly mistakes. Know that I am with you to take you in the right direction, says the Lord. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

May 25, 2024: Gather your strength, make a plan, and do what needs to be done in preparation for the next leg of your journey. It might not be easy, but it will be necessary. There will be highs and lows in your circumstances, but you must maintain your spiritual equilibrium regardless of what you are facing in the natural realm. Your strength to endure will come from your relationship with Me, says the Lord. 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 24, 2024: Even when life is difficult to navigate and it seems like you cannot make sense of what is happening around you, I am still with you, says the Lord. Stay the course, and continue to do your best; I will take care of the rest. You can trust Me to do what you cannot do and take you where you cannot go on your own. Maintain an unrelenting faith. Mark 11:22-24 So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

May 23, 2024: You are beginning a new chapter in your life. The past is behind, and the door is open to your future. It is up to you to write the next chapter. You will do this by the decisions you make and what you choose to do with every day. Choose carefully and wisely with the understanding that your thoughts, words, and deeds will reap their own consequences either good or bad. Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

May 22, 2024: Examine yourself to make sure that you have forgiven every person who has come against you in any way. That is the only way for you to receive forgiveness for what you have done to others in thought, word, or deed. You cannot progress until you are blameless in this aspect of your life, says the Lord. Mark 11:25-26 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.

May 21, 2024: Set aside time to rest and reevaluate what you have done, what you must do, what you want to do, and how you will go about it. There are places of neglect and regret that need to be rectified as you establish yourself in divine order. 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 20, 2024: To those who have been obedient to My leading and continue to seek My face, you are on the verge of significant breakthrough. You will begin to catch a glimpse of your destiny and be able to progress in ways you have not yet considered. I am leading you every step of the way, and you will have to be careful to not get ahead of Me, says the Lord. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

May 19, 2024: There are things that I want to reveal to you that you have not yet considered. However, you have to come to Me in the Spirit to see and understand. Position yourself to receive the revelations of this time in your life, says the Lord, and I will show you things to come. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trust in You.

May 18, 2024: Let go of all shame and regret. There is nothing you can do to change what has been done except to admit your part in it, repent, and try to do better. Set your heart to emulate the goodness of Christ Jesus, and to treat others with the love, kindness and respect they deserve. In order to do that you must release all resentment, anger and bitterness. Choose to forgive, says the Lord. Ephesians 4:29-32 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

May 17, 2024: There are issues in your life that you need to confront with truth and righteousness. You can do this by defining your goals and confronting your resistance to carry out your intentions. This can only be done by self-examination and getting to the root of the problem, which is likely to be fear. 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.

May 16, 2024: Refuse to worry about people and things that you have no responsibility for or control over. You have enough to attend to where you do have authority without reaching beyond your rightful limits. Release yourself from any liability that is not rightfully yours and stay within the limitations of what you are in charge of. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

May 15, 2024: Put your priorities in order so that you can prosper in all things. Every thought, every decision, every action should be according to what is right and just, says the Lord. Only then will you be rewarded for your efforts. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

May 14, 2024: Check yourself to determine how you are treating those around you. Remember that what you do to others will be done to you. See that you show the same respect to the people around you as you expect from them. Romans 14:8-10 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

May 13, 2024: Beloved, the more you establish order in your life, the more freedom you can enjoy. Refuse to get bogged down with things that have no eternal value. Rather focus on the spiritual aspects of your life and being. Seek to use the gifts you have been given so that you can produce the fruit of the Spirit, says the Lord. 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 12, 2024: Make yourself available to Me, says the Lord, and I will use you in miraculous ways to demonstrate My kingdom. Remember that I am no respecter of persons. Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

May 11, 2024: When issues of life overwhelm you, and you feel like you are drowning in things too difficult to deal with, know that I hold you in the palm of My hand, says the Lord. Never stop believing that I am with you and for you and that I will bring you through every challenge. All you must do is have faith and believe that I will. Nothing is too big or beyond My reach. Luke 1:37 For with God nothing will be impossible.

May 10, 2024: You will have opportunities to deal with unresolved issues at this time, and it will be in your flow to do so. Do not be afraid to take drastic measures when necessary. It is time to clear the slate and begin again. You will be glad and relieved that you did. Colossians 3:23-24 23 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.

May 9, 2024: For those who have been traveling on a rough road, which has seemed insurmountable, it will begin to smooth out. But, you must let go of issues that have kept you in turmoil. You can do this by putting them in My capable hands, says the Lord. You must stop fretting about things that have no eternal value, and put your trust in Me for guidance and 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.

May 8, 2024: This is a time when you must rest and be restored. Rise up in the Spirit and access the substance of rejuvenation and receive it by faith. Everything you need to be refreshed and renewed is within your grasp. This is a new day, and you have the ability to reset and begin again. 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.

MAY 7, 2024: Hang on to My promises when you have a setback. Overall, you are making progress, but not all things are coming up roses and clover. Challenges are part of life that either break you down or strengthen your resolve. It will be up to you as to how you respond. You would do well to be strong in the face of adversity, and put your trust in Me, says the Lord. 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, 2024: You are in a season of progression. You will be able to break through invisible barriers that have kept you from achieving certain goals. If you pay attention, you will discover that you are experiencing a freedom that only comes from realizing spiritual reality. Refuse to believe that living and walking in the Spirit is fragile. It is the most solid existence possible. 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.

May 5, 2024: Deliberately come into peace as you release yourself from stress. Step on to the firm foundation of faith in My word, in My kingdom, and in relationship with Me, says the Lord. When your foundation is solid everything that you build will reflect that same fundamental power. Your position in Me will bring you to a position of life and strength. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

May 4, 2024: Some of you, My people, are more creative than others, but everyone is creative in his own way and genre. Some of you have neglected your gift by being immersed in the stark reality of undesirable world conditions. Allow your creativity to be a place of solace and of allowing spiritual reality to kick in. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, says 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.

May 3, 2024: When difficulties and challenges arise, you must be flexible to do what is required of you. Realize that I am with you to give you wisdom and direction in every circumstance. Do not be afraid to step out in faith, and know that you can accomplish what seems to be impossible. Be strong and of good courage, says the Lord. Take one step at a time in realizing your goal so that you do not become overwhelmed. 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.

May 2, 2024: I know you, says the Lord, and I see what you have been through. I have been with you all the way to give you strength and the resolve to endure. Never doubt My love and care for you. Know that you can trust Me and lean on Me to be your very present help in all things. You have come this far, and you will continue to go the distance. 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 1, 2024: You can look back regretting the things you have done and the circumstances you have endured, but it will not change what was or has been. What you can do is repent and ask the forgiveness of God, leave it behind, and move on with your focus on fulfilling the purposes of the Lord in your life. 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.

APRIL 2024

April 30, 2024: Do not be disheartened when plans do not work out as you expected. This is not the end; it is a time of preparation for what will transpire in your future.

April 29, 2024: It is time to clear the air and be honest about your mistakes and shortcomings. Put the times of shame behind you for the last time so that you can forge ahead as a true child of God. There are things that still hold you back from being the best version of yourself you can be. The time is now to step into a place of renewed spiritual life and blessings, says the Lord. Romans 8:1-2 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. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

April 28 2024: I speak to those who are silently but profoundly disappointed. Do not forget that I am for you, and I want you to come through in victory. That is My will. Going through difficult times provides an opportunity to learn an important truth that is necessary to your spiritual growth. Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

April 27, 2024: In all of your busyness and commitments be sure to spend time with Me, says the Lord. Come into My presence and commune with Me so that you can be refreshed and renewed. It is a place of rest and healing, but you must come to enjoy all that I have in store for you. Let Me impart wisdom and direction for the day. Come! Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

April 26, 2024: For those who have been My good and faithful servants, expect a breakthrough of epic proportions. Some of you have waited for this time for more than a decade, and the time is now for you to move forward in greater freedom than you have known. 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.

April 25, 2024: Quiet your soul and listen for My direction to settle old issues that keep you from advancing spiritually. There are issues that you must face and deal with before you can advance. There needs to be a cleansing of your conscience before you can live in perfect peace and harmony with Me and others, says the Lord. Romans 12:17-18 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

April 24, 2024: Strengthen your inner being to do all that is necessary. There are certain things that you have put off because of dread, but it is time to rise above negativity so that you can do what has been set before you to accomplish. You need a clean slate in order to grow and develop spiritually. Deal with everything that keeps you from your potential, says the Lord. Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

April 23, 2024: Refuse to allow anything to come between you and Me, says the Lord. Continue to seek the truth and to speak nothing but the truth. Let every step you take be according to My will and purpose for you. Be sensitive to the check in your spirit when something seems off; stop to reconsider your course of action. Never doubt that 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.

I am your protector and your very present help in trouble. I am with you for all of eternity. 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

April 21, 2024: Be steady as you establish yourself on a solid foundation of faith. My kingdom is sure. My word is truth. Your future is eternal. Take setbacks in stride knowing that they are temporary. I have a plan and purpose that is beyond what you understand at this time, and I will show you that what your are going through will usher you into My will and higher level of spiritual growth, says the Lord. Psalm 119:27 Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wondrous works.

April 20, 2024: This is a new day, a new beginning when you can actually leave the past behind and reach for what is ahead. I have a plan and purpose for your life that will be fulfilled as you continue to seek My face for guidance and direction, says the Lord. You have given yourself to Me, and you are Mine. 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.

April 19, 2024: Your spiritual awareness is becoming more acute. This will be a subtle but palpable change in your life. Embrace and nurture this time of growth and development as you leave fleshly concerns behind. Open your heart, and let your faith soar like an eagle. Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

April 18, 2024: Quiet your soul for a moment and be grateful for the blessings in your life. This is important because there is so much evil in the world that it can be overwhelming to consider. I have not left nor forsaken you, says the Lord. Be reminded of the gift of the Holy Spirit given to you and proceed with a thankful heart. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

April 17, 2024: There are things you want and need to do, but it is not quite time. Be patient and settle into the current flow both naturally and spiritually. Your attention will be divided between what was, what is, and what is to be. Stay focused on those things that are actually important for this time, says the Lord. Matthew 6:33. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

April 16, 2024: Stay in the realm of reality, and make sure that condemnation is not the engine that drives you. Yes, you will make mistakes and use poor judgment at times, but you have the option to repent and receive forgiveness and blessing. The upside is that you will learn from your mistakes and see the path of righteousness more clearly. Make every effort to focus on the positives in your life. Romans 8:1-4 here 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. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

April 15, 2024: Beloved, it is your responsibility to keep the seed of salvation alive within you. You must nurture and care for it as you would a child by giving it proper attention and spiritual food. Do not neglect the life of Christ in you, says the Lord. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

April 14, 2024: It is important that you position yourself in the Spirit to move into the next phase of existence. Positioning is vital to your readiness and progression. Establish yourself in right relationship to Me, and allow Me to give you the wisdom and knowledge you need to know where you are and where you are going, says the Lord. John 15:4 Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

April 13, 2024: You have had some breakthrough, but you must be careful to not get overextended either physically or financially. Stay within safe boundaries, and allow Me to show you exactly what your limitations are, says the Lord. This a time to conserve. 1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.

April 12, 2024: Be careful that you do not get overwhelmed. You do not have to fix everything in your life all at once. You have time to sort out your issues thoughtfully and come to a logical conclusion. Your strength will be in your ability to have patience. Romans 5:1-4 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; an perseverance, character; and character, hope.

April 11, 2024: In a dream I saw a small enclosure with one horse and five large eggs with four of them containing two embryos each. The horse was protecting the eggs until they hatched. I believe the interpretation is this: The horse represents the power of the Holy Spirit and His nurturing for the fruit of the Spirit to be born and manifest fully in us. 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.

April 10, 2024: Leave the past behind, and reach for the highest and best that you can be. Rejoice in your triumphs and learn from your mistakes. Keep your vision clear by focusing on your relationship with Me, says the Lord. Set yourself to hear My voice and obey My leading. I will never lead you astray. Isaiah 53:6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

April 9, 2024: Now is the time to settle into a more comfortable routine. Evaluate the things that are truly important to you, and let go of everything that complicates your existence without being beneficial. This truly is a time to simplify your life and become stronger than you ever thought possible, says the Lord. Micah 7:7 Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.

April 8, 2024: To those of you whose lives has been hectic, use every opportunity to rest and be restored and renewed. Be good to yourself. Whatever things need attention can wait long enough for you to quiet your soul. Be still in order to allow your body to be rejuvenated before you forge ahead. 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.

April 7, 2024: Consider what I have given to you, says the Lord, the knowledge and wisdom of My word and the power of My presence. Guard closely the purity of My Spirit within you and do not cast your pearls before swine. Exercise your discernment to know when to speak and when to shut up. Let Me lead you in all things. Matthew 7:6 Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, let they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

April 6, 2024: Be strong and stay steady as you navigate unusual and unexpected things that suddenly arise. Take things that surprise you in stride, and make adjustments as necessary. I am your foundation and strong structure, says the Lord. Build your life, and establish your circumstances on the Rock of My salvation. You belong to Me. Psalm 62:6-7 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge is in God.

April 5, 2024: Take the time to evaluate your life and circumstances, and methodically go about what needs your attention. Do what is not only best for you, but for those around you. This is a time to be unselfish as you consider others and their needs. I am establishing in you a clean heart and an upright spirit, says the Lord. Psalm 36:10 Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

April 4, 2024: You are about to turn the page in your personal history. The old things are behind you as you step into the new. Press on with the assurance that I am with you, says the Lord. You will choose every step of the way to either face new challenges with faith and hope or grumble your way to despair. Choose wisely; you can make a difference in the outcome. Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

April 3, 2024: You are moving in the right direction, but there are still issues that need to be ironed out before you forge ahead. There are things that have not been addressed that must be made clear. Do your best to leave no stone unturned, says the Lord. Do not forget to access My wisdom in the process. 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 2, 2024: This is a time when you can solve long-standing problems, but you must not dwell on the problem as much as you seek the solution. I will give you the wisdom you need to see what your next step needs to be. Do not be afraid to move beyond where you are. Put your trust in Me, says the Lord. Psalm 119:133 Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.

April 1, 2024: Be kind to yourself. Replace harshness with mercy in that place in your soul where condemnation often rules. I have not condemned you, says the Lord. My love for you outweighs your mistakes and awkwardness. Receive forgiveness. Isaiah 53:5-6 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

MARCH 2024

March 31, 2024: Identification with God in its purest form is being totally unified with Him in thought, word, and action. It is to know Him and be known by Him, which will be accomplished through understanding yourself and becoming one with Him. John 17:20-21 I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one as you, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

March 30, 2024: Take things as they come and be aware that what you envisioned this time to be was not exactly how it turned out. Be flexible when you make plans, and put your trust in Me to lead you in the way you should go. I know the beginning from the end, and I will not lead you astray, says the Lord. Psalm 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

March 29, 2024: When you encounter a situation that seems impossible to deal with, do not panic. Take the time to consider your options and ask for divine guidance. I will give you wisdom, says the Lord, and will make a way where there seems to be no way. But, you first must quiet your soul and be still so that you can receive direction. 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.

March 28, 2024: Strive to walk in the light of My presence and power. It is in the darkness that worry takes over and causes you to lose hope. Know that I am with you to carry you through dark days and nights, but you must seek to live in the Spirit where darkness has no place. Rise up to a new level of faith and security, says the Lord. Colossians 1:13-14 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

March 27, 2024: Subconscious patterns of behavior will begin to surface so that you can deal with them consciously. There are things that make no rational sense that you can now face and correct. But, you must refuse to allow condemnation to be part of the process. Rise up and demonstrate your potential. I am with you to help you and give you guidance, says the Lord. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

March 26, 2024: Take each day as it comes, and refuse to allow your thoughts to dwell on the future and what could or might happen. Anything you come up with will only be conjecture and not useful to you or anyone else. Spend your energy on where you are and what you have been given to do today, and put your faith and trust in Me to be with you every step of the way, says the Lord. Matthew 6:33-34 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

March 25, 2024: This is a time when you will inspect and review what you have done recently. This is not a bad thing. It will show you what you did well and where you made mistakes. You will have opportunities to make corrections before you move on to the next phase. Just be sure that you do not dump down in self-blame and condemnation, which will not be productive. 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.

March 24, 2024: Allow Me to transform you, says the Lord. What you do matters far less than who you are in Me. I am looking over the face of the whole earth to find those whose hearts are in sync with Mine. I want you to walk and live in the Spirit with no distance between us. Come and be unified; become one with Me. John 17:20-21 I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

March 23, 2024: It is impossible to see what is ahead of you, but your consolation is the comfort in knowing that I am with you, says the Lord. I will pick you up when you are down, show you the way when you are lost, and fill you up when you are empty. I am your all in all. Romans 8:18-21 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

March 22, 2024: There are tasks that need to be taken care of, and you really do not want to do what you must do. Procrastination does not help the situation, so dive in and get it done. You will be glad when you have put it behind you and have the freedom to forge ahead. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

March 21, 2024: In a dream I saw a fish bowl with one fish in it, then I saw a cat trying to catch the fish with its paw. So, I put a lid on the bowl to protect it, and the next day the fish had suffocated. I believe the dream means that we can protect those we care about, but not to the point of suffocation. We all need to have the room to grow and breathe. Luke 6:31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

March 20, 2024: Step into the power of My Spirit, says the Lord, and leave all worries behind. Be reminded that I am with you to lead, guide, and direct your steps and to shelter you in times of trouble. Do not allow fear to undermine your faith in Me. Ephesians 4:23-24 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

March 19, 2024: Take stock of what has transpired so that you can perceive the breakthrough you are now experiencing. Breaking through is not necessarily a one-time event; it is the process of moving forward triumphantly and perceiving your progress, whether great or small. James 1:12 God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

March 18, 2024: Examine yourself to see where and who you are. You are not who or where you were in the past, and you are not yet who you will be in the future. The rest of your life is before you to fashion in whatever way is most beneficial to you. Make decisions that will change you for the better both physically and spiritually. Psalm 84:5-6 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.

March 17, 2024: You are about to shift from what you deemed important, or even vital, to a value system that reflects spiritual reality more completely. The shift will be subtle enough that you might not be aware of it until some time passes. You are receiving spiritual training through the things you suffer. Do not lose your balance in this time, says the Lord. Hebrews 5:8 Though He was a Son, het He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

March 16, 2024: Rainbow colors shining bright, Promising victory in the fight, Against evil of the darkest night, Maintaining goodness, truth and right, Standing strong as one in Christ, To the end, eternal life. John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

March 15, 2024: When everything around you seems to be harsh and unrelenting, take the time to come into My presence where you can find mercy, favor and grace. Let My love surround you and lift you up. I am your fortress, your high tower, and your place of safety and strength. Come and abide with Me, says the Lord. 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.

March 14, 2024: Pay close attention to the details of your life. It is the details that make up the whole picture of where you are emotionally, mentally, spiritually and naturally. There are things you need to change if your desire is to grow into the best version of yourself. This will also require unadulterated honesty so that you can see clearly where you are and where you want to be, says the Lord. Luke 16:10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.

March 13, 2024: You are still in a season of spiritual harvest from the seeds you have sown. Make a mental note of what your harvest looks like at this time, and make the necessary adjustments in what you did to be where you are today. Do not give up. Do the best you can to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. Galatians 6:8-10 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

March 12, 2024: You are beginning to formulate the next phase of your existence, but you must not be hasty in carrying out the first blueprint of your plan. Take your time and make sure that what you are thinking about is prudent and in the best interest of everyone involved. This is a time when you need wisdom the most. Proverbs 4:7-9 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she will promote you; she will bring you honor, when you embrace her. She will place on your head an ornament of grace; a crown of glory she will deliver to you.

March 11, 2024: When you feel down and out, exercise your will and decide that you are not a victim. You are victorious. You are a child of the King of kings. You are above and not beneath. You are precious in His sight. Pick yourself up and be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Philippians 4:12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

March 10, 2024: When nothing around you seems stable, come to Me. Remember that your stability originates spiritually and filters down to your sense of well-being naturally. You must press into the place of peace that only comes from My presence, says the Lord. Refuse to allow your feelings of instability to dictate your responses. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Your, because he trusts in You.

March 9, 2024: To those of you who have a generous heart and are careful to give as I direct you, never regret your obedience and kind generosity. Your own prosperity is measured by your unselfishness. 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.

March 8, 2024: Take time to rest and rejuvenate when you are running low on energy. Come into My presence and allow Me to renew your spirit, soul and body, says the Lord. Quiet your soul and be still until refreshment comes. 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.

March 7, 2024: Refuse to waste your time with worry about the future. You only have today to make a difference in your own life and to be a blessing to those around you. Take life as it comes and set your heart to fulfill your obligations both spiritually and naturally without complaining. Philippians 2:14-15 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.

March 6, 2024: Dealing with issues of life is not easy, but you are equipped to do all that is necessary. I am your very present help in trouble, says the Lord. Ask and it will be given; seek and you will find. I will open doors that have been shut to you and bring you through every challenge in victory. Believe it and receive it. 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.

March 5, 2024: When you are not satisfied with the outcome of your decisions, it is not too late to change your mind and change course. Make sure that you weigh your options. Be still, quiet your flesh, and access divine wisdom so that you can follow My leading, says the Lord. I am for you and not against you, and I will help you. 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.

March 4, 2024: Sometimes it feels like you take two steps forward and one step back, but you are making progress. Refuse to get impatient with your current circumstances and be at peace with gaining what ground you can. Continue to keep your eyes on your ultimate goal, and trust that I am with you every step of the way, says the Lord. Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

March 3, 2024: Keep your emotions in check and stand fearless in the face of adversity. Fear is the antithesis of faith and will interfere with your ability to trust Me, says the Lord. Know that I am for you and that I will give you the wisdom necessary to lead you out of your current quagmire. You will again stand on solid spiritual ground. 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

March 2, 2024: Things will begin to fall into place, but you must take the first step. Only you can choose. Be alert to My still small voice within and follow my leading. Refuse to allow other people to interfere with what you know is right for you. Position yourself firmly on the Rock of My salvation, says the Lord. 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.

March 1, 2024: Make your plans, but hold them loosely. I see the thoughts and intentions of your heart, but only I know your future, says the Lord. Dwelling on what you think might happen or dreading what could happen is a waste of time and energy. You live one breath at a time; take life as it comes knowing that I am with you all the way. 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 2024

February 29, 2024: In a vision I saw arctic ice beginning to break up with the change in temperature, and I heard the Lord say: It feels sometimes like you are frozen in time and cannot move ahead, but your breakthrough is coming. You can do nothing less than go with the flow of the Spirit and move with the new season. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

February 28, 2024: There are more people in your rear-view mirror than in your parking lot. But those who are still with you are good and faithful individuals and worthy of your time and energy. Let go of the past and value what you have currently. Strive to be the best version of yourself that you can possibly be. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

February 27, 2024: Stay in your lane and mind your own business. Remember the prayer of serenity: O God and Heavenly Father, grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed, courage to change that which can be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen. 1 Peter 4:14-15 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in matters of others.

February 26, 2024: Examine yourself and be honest about your fleshly endeavors that undermine your spiritual purity. These are things that keep you from intimate relationship with Me, says the Lord. They keep you from exhibiting the power of the Spirit and keep you bound. It is My desire to set you free to be who you really are without self-recrimination. John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

February 25, 2024: Beware of wolves clothed as sheep, those who pretend to be your friend, but will undermine and betray you. Keep your eyes wide open and your senses sharp. Lean on Me instead of putting your trust in those who are not worthy of trust, says the Lord. I will never lead you astray. Matthew 7:15-17 Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit.

February 24, 2024: These are hectic times that require a lot of strength and energy and can be a distraction from being in the Spirit. So, you must make a conscious effort and set aside time for prayer and meditation. Feeding your spirit is the necessary first step in successful endeavors. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy meditate on these things.

February 23, 2024: Refuse to worry about things where you have no control. Accept your current environment, but consider carefully what changes you can or must make. This is a time of coming into divine order in preparation for the days ahead. Make your plans, but hold them loosely because you only see in part. 1 Corinthians 13:12-13 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide, faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

February 22, 2024: Stay within the boundaries of your authority. You have no authority over that which you have no responsibility. Strive to walk and live in divine order and in the flow of My Spirit, says the Lord, and you will be shown what to do in every situation. Avoid getting overwhelmed by what might be or what could be. Live each moment as it comes. Proverbs 4:23-24 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you.

February 21, 2024: When there seems to be no way to progress, I will reveal solutions to even the most difficult of problems. I will make a way where there seems to be no way. Do not be afraid. I am your God of hope, your rock, your fortress, and your high tower. Rest in Me, says the Lord. Isaiah 43:18-19: Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

February 20, 2024: Stay current with where you are in life and circumstances. The only thing you can do about the past is recognize where you could have made better decisions and move forward. Live this day applying your experience and knowledge to do the best you can with what you have and who you are, and trust Me with your future, says the Lord. 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.

February 19, 2024: Recognize and acknowledge that times are changing, and what once worked for you no longer does. Be flexible and give careful thought to what you need to do to continue on. Stubborn resistance will only make matters worse. Put aside your fears and trust that I am with you all the way, says the Lord. 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.

February 18, 2024: Gifts of the Spirit are made of Spirit and are not of natural substance. You cannot access spiritual things when you are in the flesh. Clinging to flesh is in opposition to the work of the Spirit and will hinder your ability to access supernatural power. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

February 17, 2024: These are times when you must scrutinize how you treat others. Always choose kindness and consideration because that is what you desire for yourself. You will get as good as you give. If you want to be loved, you have to love those around you. 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.

February 16, 2024: You may feel like you are in a state of limbo. That is because you are uncertain about what your next steps should be. But, I tell you honestly, that you must not worry about the future. Do the best you can with today as you take one moment at a time. I hold your future in My hands, says the Lord. Believe it and receive it. 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.

February 15, 2024: Self-centeredness comes from a place of insecurity within you, which I want you to release to Me, says the Lord. When you find selfishness overruling your ability to be kind and generous, take time to rise up in the Spirit and receive the blessing of My care for you. Establish more concretely your relationship with Me. Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

February 14, 2024: You will begin to see some progress in solving the most difficult of problems. I have opened the doors to solutions that you never could have imagined. In these days you will have to think outside the box of normalcy, but do not be afraid of the unfamiliar. I am with you to carry you through, says the lord. Trust Me. 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.

February 13, 2024: This is a time to set things right. Ask, and I will show you where you have gone wrong and how to proceed. Remember that presumption and fear are your enemies, and they will take you off course in a heartbeat. Take inventory to see if you are exhibiting the fruit of My Spirit, says the Lord. 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 12, 2024: For many of you, My people, you will begin to have a breakthrough in your circumstances and health. You will receive revelation that will change your perspective, so that you can begin to thrive where you have only survived. It is time to rise up out of the ash heap of stagnation and self pity, and be encouraged. 2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

February 11, 2024: Remember that you have embarked on a new era. You have come full circle and will have opportunities to begin again. But, you will have to take every opportunity to make more righteous choices this time around. Keep your focus clearly on doing what will produce the best outcome morally and spiritually, says the Lord. Refuse to allow selfish ambition to drive you. Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

February 10, 2024: Take time to deliberately relax, and deal with things as they come so that you are not always projecting out to what might be. Hold your plans loosely so that you can be flexible with what actually transpires. Trust that I am with you to direct every step if you will allow it, says the Lord. Proverbs 16:9 A mans heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

February 9, 2024: When issues of life seem to be overwhelming, be still and wait for My leading, says the Lord. Know that I am with you to bring you through every challenge and show you the way to victory. Refuse to allow fear to be the force that moves you. Be at peace. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

February 8, 2024: In a vision I saw a sailing ship on a calm body of water with no wind in its sails. And, I heard the Lord say: Even though you are in a time of being in the doldrums, I have not left or forsaken you. Use this time to examine your spiritual condition and draw closer to Me. This is a momentary condition that will soon pass. Be patient. 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.

February 7, 2024: Refuse to allow the stress of life to overtake you. Stress is a byproduct of fear; fear of failure, fear of poverty, fear of rejection, etc. It is not My will that you live in fear. It is my will for you to live a life of faith, believing that I am with you and will be your guide, says the Lord. 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.

February 6, 2024: In these days of chaos, it is even more important for you to stay on course, and do what I have given you to do, to see what I have given you to see, and to know what I want you to know. It takes very little time to come into My presence and quiet your soul so that you can perceive My will. Do not neglect your spiritual duty above all else, says the Lord. Psalm 42:1-2 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

February 5, 2024: Examine yourself to see if you have failed to repent for being unkind, judgmental, or deceptive. And, forgive those who have come against you in any way. It is time to clear the slate so that nothing can prevent you from receiving the highest and best that I offer you, says the Lord. Luke 6:37-38 Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 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.

February 4, 2024: Listen for the sound of silence and be comfortable with it. When nothing is stirring you to deep thought or action, you must stir yourself so that you do not lose your edge. Take the initiative through a desire to know Me more personally and intimately, says the Lord. Explore the depths of spiritual truth and delight yourself in the light of revelation. Be still and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

February 3, 2024: Think about where you are and where you are headed both spiritually and naturally. There are things you need to prepare for, and this is a time to get organized for what is ahead. Organization will simplify the process if you will take the time and make the effort now. Seek Me for the wisdom you need to accomplish what is set before you. Proverbs 16:9 The heart of a man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

February 2, 2024: You can very easily get overwhelmed if you try to do too much at once. Narrow your focus, and take one issue at a time instead of looking at the overall picture. Be reminded that nothing is too difficult for you to accomplish, and remember that you do not eat a meal in one gulp; you chew and swallow one bite at a time. Psalm 61:2-4 From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

February 1, 2024: This is a time to wrap up loose ends, but you may be reluctant to do so because you are afraid to make a mistake. When you begin to panic, settle your soul in the knowledge that I am with you to guide you through this process. When you have accomplished what you set out to do, you will realize that your worry was all for nothing. Go forth in the power of assurance that you are not alone, says the Lord. Matthew 6:24-27 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?

JANUARY 2024

January 31, 2024: Settle issues as they arise, and stay current with the relevance of your life and times. Let Me be your guide and your very present help in trouble, says the Lord. I know your heart and the intentions of your soul. I am your strength and your shield, and I will bring you through to victory in all things. Psalm 28:7-8 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 will praise Him. The Lord is our strength, and He is the saving refuge of His anointed.

January 30, 2024: Refuse to allow discouragement to gain a stronghold and defeat you. Stand firmly on the Rock of Salvation and know that I am with you to give you supernatural strength to endure even the most challenging of circumstances. Keep your faith strong. This too shall pass. Isaiah 41:10-12 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. Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them—those who contended with you. Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing.

January 29, 2024: Never expect to receive more than you give. Be who you are in Me, and give as I direct you to give; no more and no less. Stay on the path that I have chosen for you without regret, and be content, says the Lord. Philippians 4:12-13 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

January 28, 2024: You are about to launch out on a brand new beginning, which will be a time of exploration and discovery. You can move ahead when you have sufficiently left the past behind. Refuse to allow anything to hold you back from this spiritual adventure. Fear is your enemy, and faith is your friend. 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.

January 27, 2024: The mistakes that you have made will be highlighted in your life, and you will have the opportunity to go back and make corrections either naturally or spiritually. This is a time to review and repent of the things that were unbecoming a believer in Christ. Let all your sins be wiped away, and be renewed, says the Lord. Psalm 51:1-2 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

January 26, 2024: Every day can be a good day when you choose to follow My lead and depend on Me for strength and health, and when you walk and live in the Spirit. Everything else dims in comparison to your spiritual service, says the Lord. Prioritize what you deem to be important so that you walk in strength, peace, and prosperity. 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 25, 2024: Refuse to allow your life to become fruitless. Do what you can to maintain mercy and goodness. There is no reason to give up or give in to circumstances that drag you down to the depths of despair. These are days of overcoming, but they will require your care and attention. 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.

January 24, 2024: It is good to look back and review where you have been and what you have done for the sake of repentance and new beginnings. But, you must not get stuck in the past or renew old slights or divisions. This is a time to take a backwards glance as a compass to get your bearings and establish direction for the days ahead. Remember that I am your North Star, says the Lord. 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.

January 23, 2024: Find and maintain that place in you that is innocent and pure, and do not step out beyond the boundaries of holiness. Your physical and spiritual well being depends on what you decide in every situation. Give careful consideration to your thoughts and intentions, and choose righteousness, says the Lord. Proverbs 14:15 The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers well his steps.

January 22, 2024: Look carefully with eyes of the Spirit, and you will see that you have supernatural help behind the scenes. Never doubt the length I will go to for your protection and prosperity in all things. These are days when you can rejoice in knowing that I am with you and for you, says the Lord. Psalm 5:11 But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

January 21, 2024: You are about to enter a new phase of existence, but there are things that need to be finished before you can forge ahead. Make the best use of your time and opportunities to deal with issues that would hinder you in the future, says the Lord. I will give you discernment, wisdom and guidance to do all that is necessary. 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.

January 20, 2024: You have been through a patch where everything seems difficult if not impossible to accomplish, but you have learned some lessons in this period of time. You have learned that frustration only makes things worse and that patience is a virtue. And, that if you will quiet your soul, you can find the Spirit and get divine help and guidance. Psalm 119:105-107 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws. I have suffered much; preserve my life, Lord, according to your word.

January 19, 2024: The challenges of these days for you are not to gain victory over the enemy as much as to recognize when you step out ahead of Me in presumption or take steps as a result of your own logic and personal bias. You must quiet your flesh and allow spiritual discernment to lead. Do nothing in your own strength and understanding, says the Lord. 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.

January 18, 2024: Troubling times create troubling circumstances. This is a time to trust Me in every situation, and know that I will direct your steps. Refuse to dump down in discouragement and fear, which can be contagious, so protect yourself from going down with the crisis of others, says the Lord. Walk in faith that I am with you. 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.

January 17, 2024: This is a time when you can rearrange parts of your life, environment and activities to better suit your needs. Allow Me to lead you in that direction and show you what you can do, says the Lord. You will be delighted with the results. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

January 16, 2024: You need to be restored and strengthened. The joy of the Lord is your strength, and that joy comes from praise and worship. Let it spring up like fountains of living water. Let it wash over you in cleansing, healing waves, and be renewed by its power, says the Lord. Psalm 27:6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

January 15, 2024: It is time to fix things that have been broken and ignored. You have procrastinated with the hope that it would just go away or fix itself, but neither of those options have been fulfilled. You must take the necessary steps in order to bring resolution, says the Lord. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

January 14, 2024: This will be a season when you can overcome and forgive yourself for mistakes of the past and move into a phase of creativity and productivity beyond what you could have imagined. Rejection must be a thing of the past and not something that defines your life. 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.

January 13, 2024: If you will allow it, you are entering a new season of hope. You can be stronger spiritually than you have ever been, full of mercy and good fruit. However, this will not happen without your cooperation with what is available to you. You must take advantage of every opportunity to prosper spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. 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.

January 12, 2024: Stay current. You might need to run to catch up, but it will be worth the effort. Trying to live in the past never works. Live today by paying attention to what is and what needs to be done now so that you can be obedient to My leading, says the Lord. Do your best to live and walk in the Spirit. 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.

January 11, 2024: When you find yourself in a situation that causes you to panic, do your best to stay calm. Be sensitive to My leading. I will bring you through to a place of peace and safety as you focus on where you are and where you need to be. I will guide you through this maze of discombobulation, says the Lord. 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 10, 2024: Be still and know that I am God. Great and precious promises are yours if you will only dare to believe. The spiritual principles are simple, but applying them to life situations can be complex. Keep your vision clear and your motives pure as you focus on Me, says the Lord. The flesh always wants to muddy the spiritual water. Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

January 9, 2024: There is trouble all around you, but you do not have to be affected by what is happening outside of you. You need to settle yourself inside and deal with the issues that directly affect you. This will require walking and living in the Spirit instead of being consumed with flesh issues. Establish yourself in peace, says the Lord. 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.

January 8, 2024: You are entering a season that will be like no other. Do not be afraid of change or challenges. I have been with you every step of the way, and I will continue to go the distance with you, says the Lord. Lean on Me for direction and guidance as we go forth together. Psalm 25:5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

January 7, 2024: This is the beginning of a new trend of identification. You will develop your personal identity with greater precision and express yourself more completely apart from outside influences. The result will be that you will know who you really are in Me, says the Lord. This will be a dynamic revelation that will carry you into a new era. Philippians 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

January 6, 2024: Do not underestimate the power of My presence and My ability to intervene in your life. Allow Me to take the lead and direct every step you take. I am not a myth or a legend; I am a real and powerful being that you can interact with and trust to help you through every dilemma you face. Put your trust in Me, says the Lord. 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.

January 5, 2024: Do not stress about what could or might happen tomorrow. Know that your place of safety and security is in My everlasting arms. I will hold you and protect you regardless of these trying times and unsettling circumstances. Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, Destroy!

January 4, 2024: You can make plans for the future, but you must live and be present right here and right now. Your plans are not yet reality. Stay real and deal with the issues that present themselves today, one minute at a time. That is where you can exercise your faith and trust that I am indeed with you, says the Lord. 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.

January 3, 2024: Quiet your soul, and deliberately make Me your partner in life, says the Lord. I am with you to bring you through every situation. Lean on Me and trust Me to keep you on the path that I have chosen for you. There is no need for fear or trepidation. Be strong and resolute. Psalm 56:11 In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

January 2, 2024: Your inclination for the new year is to make great, sweeping changes, but that will not be in your best interest. There are things that need to be adjusted in what you do, so make the adjustments in small increments instead of throwing out the baby with the bath water. Keep your focus on Me, and fine tune your spiritual ear to hear and heed My leading, says the Lord. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

January 1, 2024: Make this day a new beginning as you leave the past behind and forge ahead in faith that I am for you and with you every step of the way. You are never alone. I am by your side to show you the way and direct your steps, says the Lord. I am your fortress and high tower, your very present help in trouble. Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.>
